I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

"Was Hiruzen my brother before?" Haruko leaned over the table and glanced at the words on the document in boredom.

"Of course. Isn't he much better than your current brother?" Sarutobi Hiruzen teased her with a smile.

Jiraiya has already reported to Haruko what Orochimaru told him. Should we say that Haruko is worthy of her name, as she always accepts such bizarre things so quickly.

Haruko weighed in her mind whether it would be more troublesome to offend the fierce Uchiha Fugaku or the smiling Sarutobi Hiruzen, and finally decided to treat both equally.

"Can't I have two brothers at the same time?" Haruko said with a matter-of-fact expression.

Sarutobi Hiruzen hooked her nose and said, "You are really greedy!"

Is she greedy?

One is the head of the Uchiha clan, and the other is the Third Hokage. They seem quite greedy.

Haruko complained about herself, maybe because of their family status, she was more casual with Sarutobi Hiruzen than with Jiraiya and the others.

And she could see some of Uchiha Fugaku's shadow in Sarutobi Hiruzen - his care and love for her.

Is this what it feels like to be a brother? Haruko began to think about how she would treat a younger brother or sister.

Hmm... trick Obito into buying him (her) candy?

Forget it, Obito's wallet is hers. Why should a child eat candy? Only someone as old as her can eat it!

Haruko has no sense of responsibility as an older sister and even fantasizes about a bright future in which her younger brothers and sisters give her pocket money.

"If that's the case... then I am Asuma's aunt?" Haruko sat up suddenly, seeking Sarutobi Hiruzen's confirmation excitedly.

After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with amusement.

If Asma knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would explode, right?

Haruko was still trying to sort out the current relationship between her former friends, "So Hong has become my niece-in-law?!"

"What?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised.

How come he didn't know that Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi were together?

Seeing his funny face, Haruko chuckled, and realizing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen also smiled helplessly.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door, and Sarutobi Hiruzen said "Come in", and the person outside pushed the door open.

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade is here," the subordinate reported respectfully, then stepped aside, revealing the woman behind him.

After receiving Jiraiya's letter, Tsunade hurried back with Shizune. The letter said that Nawaki had found a girlfriend while she was traveling. She was so excited that she didn't even drink. They traveled non-stop all the way and it took them a long time to get back to Konoha.

As a result, she received a summons from the Hokage as soon as she arrived in Konoha, which made her anxious. She stepped on her high heels and rushed to the Hokage's room. After finishing the work quickly, she had to go eat the melon from Rope Tree!

"What on earth does the teacher have..."

Tsunade suddenly noticed the child sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen and was speechless.

The young Shizune tugged at her clothes, not knowing why, "Lady Tsunade, what's wrong with you?"

Tsunade felt her clothes being pulled, but she was too distracted to care. She stared straight into those dark, ignorant eyes, her lips trembling as she uttered a voice with difficulty.

"You...you are..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head slightly to introduce Haruko, "She is Tsunade, the medical expert among the three ninjas, and also your lazy partner when you were a child."

"Ohh! She's so beautiful!"

Haruko looked at the slim and beautiful woman in front of her with sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but admire that her taste was as good as ever.

"Teacher, what you mean is... is it what I think?" Tsunade was a little incoherent. Her mind was in a mess, as if it was going to crash in the next second.

At Sarutobi Hiruzen's signal, Haruko slowly took off her veil, revealing her slightly shy smile.

Along with it, her soft voice rang out, "Hello! I'm Haruko!"

It is difficult to describe the emotion of the moment when memories come back and the dead reappear before your eyes.

Tsunade opened her mouth, her eyelashes fluttering, as if she couldn't react for a moment, then she covered her lips, and when her eyes met Haruko again, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Haruko... It's Haruko..."

Although the scene of recognition has been played out in front of her many times, Haruko still feels sad when she sees others' unspeakable grief for her again.

Jumping off the chair, Haruko trotted into Tsunade's arms, while Tsunade squatted down and hugged her tightly.

"Okay, okay, I'm here."

Hearing her comforting words and feeling her small body completely wrapped by him, Tsunade actually felt for a moment that she had never left her, and that she had always been the morning Haruko who would gently accept and accompany her.

Into the warm atmosphere of their reunion, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a serious voice, "Tsunade, I called you back this time to check on Haruko's health."

"Check your body?!" Tsunade immediately panicked and touched Haruko all over. No external injuries were seen, so she asked, "What happened to Haruko?"

Meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen's sullen gaze, Tsunade calmed down her out-of-control emotions.

Taking Haruko to the room where the equipment was fully prepared, Tsunade looked intently at Haruko lying quietly on the bed, combining her description with Sarutobi Hiruzen's and clenched her fists.

Walking out of the room, Tsunade gritted her teeth and raised her hand to punch the wall. With her fist as the center, countless cracks quickly spread on the wall, making a terrifying sound.

Seeing her reaction like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart sank, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked, "How is it?"

Tsunade shook her head and said in annoyance, "I can't help it. I have no idea why she is so weak, let alone where to start treating her."

This feeling of helplessness and despair once again filled her heart. Even though she had practiced hard for several years, even though she had gone through fire and water and traveled thousands of miles, she still could not find a way to cure the disease. She, who was known as a "medical genius", could not save the most important person to her.

Before she had time to feel the joy of regaining what she had lost, the fear of losing it again swept over Tsunade.

"How could it be...how could I not see it..." Tsunade's lips were bitten by her until blood oozed out.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, as if to comfort her and himself, "Don't be nervous, you're just a little weak, it's not a life-and-death separation."

Feeling hurt by the words "parting of life and death", Tsunade turned around and walked into the room without saying a word. She couldn't leave Haruko for a moment.

Before seeing anyone, the hurried sound of high heels was heard. Haruko sat on the bed and looked at Tsunade who was approaching with a smile.

"Tsunade, how am I doing?"

Not daring to look directly at her, Tsunade shifted her gaze to the window, forced a smile, and said with a smile, "Of course it's not a big problem! I'm a peerless beauty known as the 'Medical Saint', don't worry!"

As if she completely believed her words, Haruko cheered, "Great! Tsunade is the best!"

Unable to help but compare her with the childish face in her memory, Tsunade suddenly realized how familiar they were.

"Tsunade is amazing! She knows so many things!"

Tsunade, who was followed by her adoring gaze, proudly promised her: "Of course! There is nothing in the world that I don't know!"

She is arrogant, foolish and powerless.
