Tsunade's Gentleness

'Whoosh!'

Tsunade, who had been following Might Guy as she left, immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and returned to Kakashi's hospital room.

'Creak!'

The door opened, and Hikari stood obediently before her, looking as though he had been about to open it.

Good thing I reacted quickly, or Tsunade might really have suspected me of plotting something against Kakashi.

No, I had to be serious. I had to act like a clueless rookie. I absolutely couldn't let Tsunade find out.

"Lady Tsunade, why are you back? I didn't even notice! Your strength is simply too incredible, as high as ten Hokage Rocks stacked together!"

Look at these sincere eyes of mine. How could Tsunade possibly suspect me?

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and carefully examined Hikari.

If the thoughts she had heard were correct, Hikari's strength was indeed extraordinary. He could even deceive her. Looking at his expression, she definitely wouldn't suspect him.

"It's nothing. I suddenly became worried about Kakashi. After all, he's Sakumo's child. With injuries this severe, I couldn't help worrying."

After casually giving Hikari an excuse, Tsunade confirmed that Kakashi was fine and prepared to continue on to see Rock Lee.

Of course he's fine. I already stepped in and reconciled the conflict in his bloodline. Once Kakashi wakes up, he'll probably be able to use the Mangekyo flexibly. But he doesn't have Uchiha blood, so he can't use it as skillfully as Tsuchiko can. What a pity.

After taking two steps, Tsunade stopped, suddenly wanting to go back and examine Kakashi again.

In the blink of an eye, Tsunade suppressed that thought.

She had just examined Kakashi today. If she went back immediately to check him again, it would definitely arouse Hikari's suspicions. Tsunade was still counting on obtaining more information from Hikari in the future!

For now, it was better not to alert him.

"Hikari, come with me too."

After giving the order, Tsunade smiled at Might Guy, then turned and took Hikari by the hand as she headed toward Rock Lee's hospital room.

Tsunade was treating me so well. She had to be smitten with my handsome face.

But she was the Fifth Hokage now, so she was too embarrassed to say it. She wanted me to take the initiative? Heh, no way!

I liked taking it easy!

Tsunade, come make the first move yourself!

Her fist unconsciously clenched. Tsunade glanced at Hikari and saw his meek, submissive appearance before her. If she couldn't read Hikari's thoughts, who would have imagined that this guy had been fantasizing about her all along and even wanted her to take the initiative? Dream on.

"Wow! Isn't that Lady Tsunade? Why is she tugging and pulling with Hikari? Could this be some unspoken workplace rule?"

"I think it's very possible. Lady Tsunade isn't young anymore, and now she's Hokage. It's perfectly normal for her to want to find a handsome man to carry on the family line."

"Lady Tsunade, the glory of the Senju Clan depends on you! When you have children, don't hold back—have ten or more! We'll help raise them!"

Listening to the nurses gossiping beside her, countless '#' marks appeared on Tsunade's forehead.

She really wanted to hit someone right now.

She, the great Princess Tsunade—men pursuing her could line up from the Hidden Leaf Village all the way to Kirigakure. She was merely used to being single and enjoyed the feeling it brought.

Especially that last Da Ju. Did she really think Tsunade wouldn't know it was her just because she had the younger girls standing in front of her?

Since she was from the Senju Clan, Tsunade would let her off this time.

If there was a next time, she would definitely... make her marry Might Guy.

After keeping a straight face while grumbling inwardly, Tsunade arrived at Rock Lee's hospital room.

"Teacher Guy!" The moment Rock Lee saw Might Guy, his eyes immediately lit up as though two lightbulbs had been embedded in them.

"Rock Lee! Yeah!"

Might Guy once again revealed his "White Fang Flash," making Hikari and Tsunade involuntarily take a step back.

"Rock Lee, this is Lady Tsunade, the best Medical Ninja in all of the Hidden Leaf Village—no, in the entire Ninja World. I specially invited her here to treat you."

"Teacher Guy!" Tears welled up in Rock Lee's eyes, and he looked as though he was about to cry.

'Smack!'

Guy slapped Rock Lee on the head. "No crying! You're already a genin. A real man bleeds but never sheds tears, understand?"

Rock Lee nodded solemnly. "Yes, Teacher Guy!"

Might Guy smiled, looking immensely gratified.

"But Teacher Guy, isn't that what Senior Hikari says? If you use his words like that, be careful or Senior Hikari might charge you copyright fees!"

"Hikari and I are good friends. Copyright or whatever, none of that matters."

"Really?"

"You don't believe me?"

"I trust Teacher Guy the most!"

"Haha, as expected of my good disciple!"

"Teacher Guy!"

Not bad, not bad. If Guy and Rock Lee didn't become ninja, they could have formed a Crosstalk team and gone around performing Crosstalk.

Watching Might Guy and Rock Lee get more and more excited, practically about to embrace, Tsunade finally couldn't endure it any longer.

'Thud!'

A slap landed on Might Guy's head, raising a huge bump. Then she grabbed the back of his neck and flung him away.

"Get out! Don't come in until I've finished examining him!"

Rock Lee trembled as he looked at the murderous Tsunade. Just as he wanted to resist, Tsunade's Chakra Scalpel cut off his neural transmission.

"Hikari, keep watch. If anyone dares come in, kill them without mercy!" Tsunade was furious, and her words became sharp and decisive.

As the Fifth Hokage, she was very busy.

She had finally managed to find a little time amid her hectic schedule to treat Kakashi and Rock Lee, yet Might Guy actually dared to perform Crosstalk for her. Wait, what was Crosstalk?

It was all because of Hikari's nonsense thoughts that she no longer knew what to say.

Under Rock Lee's terrified gaze, Tsunade began examining him.

Breaking news: an older unmarried woman gets handsy with an innocent young man. Is it the collapse of morality, or the distortion of the world? For the full story, please watch Today's Law!

A fifty-year-old woman and a thirteen-year-old boy, alone in the private confines of a hospital room. What shocking events will unfold? Xiao Guang's Legal Talk brings you live coverage!

The domineering Hokage fell in love with me. On that dark and windy night, in the dead of night, I awoke in the hospital room, and a pair of soft, silky hands was caressing my muscular chest...

Tsunade's hands were trembling nonstop.

Sorry, it wasn't her hemophobia acting up.

It was simply because the thoughts of that bastard behind her made her want to explode, hit someone, and teach Hikari a vicious lesson.

What did he mean by an older unmarried woman? She was Lady Tsunade with a longer shelf life.

There was clearly still this bastard in the hospital room, so how had it become a private space? And Xiao Guang's Legal Talk? Did he believe she wouldn't shave his head bald?

If this brat dared to use her as the heroine of some pornographic novel, then she shouldn't blame this old lady for showing him no mercy.

A raging storm churned within her heart, yet Tsunade calmly finished examining Rock Lee.

The result made her frown, even postponing her plan to teach Hikari a lesson.

"Get plenty of rest, and don't move around carelessly. I'll go back and think over your treatment plan." When facing her patient Rock Lee, Tsunade's face was filled with maternal warmth, leaving both Rock Lee and Hikari staring in a daze.

My Tsunade couldn't possibly be this gentle!
