Sayuri Is a Little Green

The next morning.

Everyone at Konoha Hospital went to work as usual.

But they soon noticed something was wrong.

"Lord Tsunade... she still hasn't come to work."

Lord Tsunade was sometimes late.

But an entire hour had already passed...

Why hadn't she come to work yet?

"Excuse me... I'll go check."

Shizune, Tsunade's Disciple and Dan Katō's niece, said to everyone.

Soon, she left the hospital and headed for the Senju Clan compound.

"Lord Tsunade... did she drink too much and oversleep...?" Shizune thought as she walked.

Jueming would not let her go.

All of this was to save Teacher Momoka.

"Is that so... Lord Tsunade, she..."

Shizune immediately explained the situation.

Tsunade had been late by a full hour today.

"I'll come with you to take a look."

Jueming immediately "realized" the severity of the situation, furrowing his brow and putting on a concerned act.

The two headed back together.

They stopped outside Tsunade's House.

Knock, knock.

Shizune knocked on the door.

"Lord Tsunade."

She called out.

But there was no answer.

She called again and again, but received no response.

Something was wrong.

They immediately asked the nearby neighbors,
