Lurking in Konoha, part-time Hokage

The door of Tsunade's house.

Hanekawa took out the key and was about to open it when he saw Yuhi Kurenai stop.

Different from her usual relaxed and lively mood, she was a little restless today, her fingers closing and spreading apart.

"how?"

Hanekawa joked, "Are you afraid that the teacher won't give you food?"

"How is that possible?"

Yuhi Hong quickly denied it and said, "It's just my first time celebrating the New Year at Tsunade-sensei's house and I'm not used to it."

"Is there anything you're not used to?"

Hanekawa smiled, opened the door with the key, and said, "Come in."

"Tsunade-sensei isn't home?"

Yuhi Hong stood in the entrance hall and looked into the living room.

"She probably went to the casino."

Hanekawa was not surprised at all.

For Tsunade, there is nothing special about the Chinese New Year. If she should go to the casino, she can go to the casino and it won't have any impact.

"Tsunade-sensei is really... free and easy."

Yuhi Hong was stunned for a moment and said.

"She's not here, so there's no need to praise her."

Hanekawa reached out and took the dish from her hand.

"I'm telling the truth!"

Yuhi gave him a red look and complained, "I realize you have no respect for Tsunade-sensei at all!"

"I respect her a lot."

Hanekawa said without changing his expression.

Yuhi Kurenai naturally didn't believe it. She curled her lips and took off her shoes, revealing her footbags, which were white socks.

She had already changed into a kimono, so according to tradition, she had to wear an ashibukuro.

“I feel more free with my bare feet.”

Yuhi Kurenai is not very used to footbags and clogs.

"Indeed."

Hanekawa looked at her and said, "Bare feet also look better."

"I'll show you when I get home."

Yuhi Hong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly blushed and said.

"...?"

Hanekawa couldn't help but be startled.

You are committing a crime by being so obedient!

"Well...I'll help you cook..."

Yuhi Hong was stared at by him and suddenly said in a panic.

"Need not."

Hanekawa shook his head and said, "I can do it alone."

"I...what do I do?"

Yuhi Hong tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"You watch TV."

Hanekawa paused and said, "If the teacher hasn't come back by night, you go to the casino to find her."

"OK!"

Yuhi Hong suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you want to drink juice?"

"Um."

Hanekawa nodded slightly, then went to the kitchen with the dishes.

Yuhi Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although her personality is relatively outgoing, her bold words just now still made her heart beat faster.

Yuhi Hong came back to her senses, jumped up and down, hummed a song, and opened the refrigerator.

After pouring a glass of lemon juice, she went to the kitchen.

Hanekawa is washing vegetables.

She stepped forward and brought lemon juice to his mouth.

"Thanks."

Hanekawa stepped forward, took two sips, and said, "You can drink the rest."

"Huh?"

Yuhi Hong was stunned.

"What? Do you mind?"

Hanekawa glanced at her and asked.

"No...don't mind..."

Yuhi Kurenai reacted and blushed again.

"It's so cute."

Hanekawa praised.

"You don't need to tell me this!"

After Yuhi Hong finished speaking, she turned around and ran away.

She returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and drank two sips of lemon juice to calm down her shock.

Yuhi Hong exhaled and suddenly realized something. Her face turned crimson and even her ears were dyed pink.

Just then, the door opened.

Tsunade walked in with two bottles of wine.

"Tsunade-sensei!"

Yuhi Hong quickly stood up and said hello.

"Have you been drinking?"

Tsunade glanced at her and asked casually.

"No!"

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head like a rattle.

"Then why is your face so red?"

Tsunade felt that Yuhi Kurenai was very strange today.

"It's... it's frozen!"

Kurenai Yuhi said in a hurry, "Hanekawa and I just went shopping and bought kimonos and food for dinner."

"Your kimono is really nice."

Tsunade didn't pay attention, looked at it twice, and praised it.

"Tsunade-sensei, we bought you a gift too."

Yuhi Hong pulled out a paper bag and handed it to her.

"kimono?"

Tsunade was slightly startled and said, "Thank you."

Although she doesn't often wear kimonos, since it was a gift from a student, it was hard to refuse.

"Hanekawa and I chose this kimono together."

Yuhi Kurenai looked at the calm Tsunade and said with some anxiety, "I don't know if you like it or not."

"No wonder."

Tsunade turned over the kimono, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "I like this kimono."

Yuhi Hong's worried heart finally dropped.

"I'm going to change clothes."

Tsunade put two bottles of wine on the table, hugged her kimono, and went to the room.

She took off her clothes, put on her kimono, and finally tied it with a light sash.

"This fits quite well."

Tsunade turned around, suddenly thought of something, and took out a light golden hairpin and red hair tie.

She stretched out her hand, raised her golden hair up, and put a hairpin on it.

After all, her previous hairstyle was not suitable for wearing a kimono.

It is worth mentioning that the hairpins and hair bundles were both bought by Hanekawa.

Tsunade walked out of the room.

When Yuhi Hong heard the footsteps, she subconsciously raised her head, and then she was stunned.

Now Tsunade has changed from her previous heroic appearance and has become very mature and has the temperament of a lady.

Yuhi Hong looked at her plump figure that couldn't be concealed by her kimono, and suddenly felt envious.

She secretly thought that she was still young and might have a figure similar to hers in the future.

"Tsunade-sensei, you are so beautiful!"

Yuhi Hong came back to her senses and sighed.

"Why do you want to come to my place to celebrate the New Year today?"

Tsunade smiled lightly, sat on the sofa, and asked casually.

"It was Hanekawa's suggestion."

Yuhi Hong said truthfully.

Tsunade couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this.

Is this really what this kid had in mind?

"You don't have to be so restrained."

Tsunade said with a smile on her face and a good mood.

"yes!"

Yuhi Hong subconsciously closed her legs and sat upright.

Tsunade shook her head and turned on the TV without saying anything else.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door!"

Yuhi Hong quickly stood up and trotted to the door.

After not seeing Tsunade, she suddenly felt a lot less pressure.

Just as Hanekawa guessed, she regarded this Chinese New Year as meeting her parents or elders.

Yuhi Kurenai opened the door and looked at the masked ANBU ninja outside the door, suddenly confused.

"Please pass this scroll to Tsunade-sama."

Haru knew Yuhi Kurenai and handed the scroll to her without saying any nonsense.

"you……"

As soon as Yuhi Hong said one word, Qing disappeared on the spot.

She came to her senses and closed the door.

"Tsunade-sensei is an ANBU ninja."

Yuhi Kurenai walked up to Tsunade and said, "This is for you."

"Um."

Tsunade put down the TV remote and opened the scroll.

Not surprisingly, it was information about the battlefield in Yunyin Village.

She looked at it for a moment, with a look of surprise on her face.

This is what happened yesterday. It was said that Hatake Sakumo's team was ambushed by Kumogakure Village while performing a mission.

But the four of them counterattacked and killed forty-two ninjas from Yunyin Village, and seriously injured two Yumu people.

This is an unimaginable victory.

Tsunade looked confused.

Hatake Sakumo is indeed very strong, but he is an assassin-type ninja, and he should not have such results when facing a jinchuriki.

Especially when facing the two Yukitos who have completely transformed into tailed beasts.

What surprised her most was that there were no major casualties in their team.

If it were their team, Tsunade would not dare to guarantee the safety of Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai.

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

"for you."

Tsunade noticed Yuhi Kurenai's curious gaze and casually gave the scroll to her.

"It's amazing!"

After reading it, Yuhi Hong showed an expression of disbelief.

Tsunade couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it any more.

After all, it is a good thing for the Leaf Village.

But Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru would probably be unhappy.

Although Tsunade doesn't care much about the affairs of the Leaf Village, she naturally knows exactly why the two of them are hanging out together.

She suddenly felt a headache.

If this continues, she is the one most likely to become Hokage.

Unless she explicitly refuses.

But when Tsunade thought of Hanekawa, there was a trace of hesitation in her heart.

This kid makes a wish for her to be Hokage every year on his birthday. If she really doesn't do it right, he will probably be very disappointed.

Tsunade sighed inwardly.

We can only take one step at a time and wait until then.

Tsunade and Yuhi Kurenai were watching TV and chatting.

The sky outside the window gradually dimmed, and the last ray of skylight disappeared.

"It's time to eat!"

Hanekawa appeared in the hall carrying bowls and chopsticks.

He subconsciously glanced at Tsunade, and his heart suddenly shook.

This kimono really suits her.

Underneath the traditional dignity and seductive body, the mixture forms her unique temperament.

"I'll serve the food."

Seeing this, Yuhi Hong quickly ran to the kitchen to help.

After a while, five dishes were placed on the dinner table.

In addition, there were two bottles of wine bought by Tsunade.

"What kind of scroll is this?"

Hanekawa saw the scroll Tsunade put aside.

"Given by Qing."

Tsunade picked up the wine glass.

Yuhi Hong consciously poured wine for her.

Hanekawa opened the scroll and read it.

His reaction was similar to Tsunade's. Under normal circumstances, it would be completely impossible for Hatake Sakumo's team to achieve such a result.

But there is a special situation that can be achieved, that is, Uchiha Shisui opens the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In the original work, there is no mention of the specific circumstances in which he opened his eyes, but it was most likely during the Third Ninja War.

Now that their team was ambushed, it made sense for Uchiha Shisui to save people and cut their eyes open.

I just don’t know if it’s another god.

"Let's eat."

Tsunade handed him a pair of chopsticks.

"Um."

Hanekawa put away the scroll.

It was a good thing that Uchiha Shisui opened his eyes, and it was also a good thing that Hatake Sakumo's team fought back.

In short, Danzo Shimura must be having a very uncomfortable New Year.

"cheers!"

Tsunade raised her glass and said, "Happy New Year!"

Hanekawa and Yuhi Kurenai raised their juices.

The cup made a crisp sound, and the atmosphere on the table quickly became relaxed.

Yuhi Hong gradually returned to her usual style and looked very lively.

Tsunade looked at the two of them and suddenly felt like home.

She spent the previous New Years alone, which was relatively deserted.

Only when Hanekawa is around can he be considered popular.

Now that there is more Yuhihong, it is even more lively.

After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and they are going to keep the New Year's Eve together.

"Teacher, do you want to take a rest first?"

Hanekawa looked at Tsunade, whose face was red from drinking, and asked with concern.

"What's this little wine?"

Tsunade snorted slightly and said with some dissatisfaction, "I can still drink!"

"Stop drinking wine and drink some lemon juice."

Hanekawa handed her a glass of lemon juice.

Tsunade rolled her eyes, but took a few sips anyway.

She shook her head, feeling a little dizzy.

Tsunade subconsciously hugged Hanekawa's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and looked at the TV.

Yuhi Hong turned her head and stopped talking when she saw this scene.

But considering that Tsunade was already drunk, this behavior was okay.

Her eyes lit up, she sat on Hanekawa's left side and hugged his other arm.

"...?"

Hanekawa looked confused at the sudden change of circumstances.

What's going on?

He felt like he accidentally hit the skip button while playing a game.

Hanekawa glanced around.

His right arm was obviously under greater pressure, and the soft burden made him groan secretly.

The left arm is just mediocre. After all, Kurenai Yuhi is still young and has room to grow.

The living room became very quiet, except for the sound of the TV.

I don't know how long it took, but a bell suddenly rang outside the door.

"The new year has arrived."

Tsunade let go of his arm, sat up, and said without changing her face.

She was completely sober from the wine.

"Do you want some soba noodles?"

Yuhi Hong perked up and asked.

"Wait a moment, I bought soba noodles during the day."

Hanekawa walked to the kitchen.

It is a custom in the ninja world to eat soba noodles during New Year's Eve.

"Coming!"

Not long after, Hanekawa brought out three bowls of soba noodles.

"You can make a New Year's wish!"

Yuhi Hong suddenly thought of something and said excitedly.

"What do you promise?"

Hanekawa asked curiously.

"I hope the war ends soon!"

Yuhi Hong thought for a while and said.

"As for me, I hope there is a Hokage teacher."

Hanekawa coughed slightly and said.

"Then you go and become your teacher to the old man."

Tsunade glanced at him, raised her leg, and stepped on him hard.

"I only have one teacher."

Hanekawa said without changing his expression.

"I think Hanekawa is right!"

Yuhi Kurenai didn't notice their little moves and said confidently, "Tsunade-sensei is the most qualified to be the next Hokage!"

"Eat noodles."

Tsunade didn't answer their words, picked up her chopsticks, and dealt with the soba noodles.

The three bowls of noodles were finished quickly.

"It's getting late, you can sleep here today."

Tsunade put down her chopsticks and said, "Hanekawa, please clean up the room next to yours."

Hanekawa has a fixed room.

Tsunade also has one.

The remaining rooms can be used as guest rooms.

"OK."

Hanekawa looked at Yuhi Kurenai and said with a smile, "I'll leave the task of washing dishes to you."

"no problem!"

Yuhi Hong said with a smile on her face.

But the joy of the New Year cannot dispel the haze of war.

Early the next morning, the ANBU ninja Haru appeared again.

She brought an order from Sarutobi Hiruzen for Tsunade and Hanekawa to go to a meeting.

Because Iwagakure Village has taken action.
