Your Marriage with Tsunade, I Absolutely Agree!

The sky, once a brilliant azure, gradually became dyed with fiery red clouds.

Tsunade's breathing also grew more even.

Qingguang lowered his head, his gaze falling upon Tsunade's long eyelashes. With her slow breaths, her white peaks rose and fell rhythmically.

He understood. Tsunade must be testing his Will of Fire!

By the time Tsunade woke up, dusk had fallen, and a new moon hung in the sky.

"Hmm?"

First came a sound of confusion, and Tsunade dazedly lifted her head. Her hair was damp with drool, sticking to her cheek.

Seeing the scene before her, Tsunade suddenly remembered that she had apparently slept leaning on Qingguang's shoulder for the entire afternoon. Her heart immediately began to race.

Just as Tsunade was feeling flustered, unsure how to explain, Qingguang spoke, easing her embarrassment.

"Big Sister, it's time to go home. Nawaki and Kushina are waiting for you."

"Cough, cough, yes, yes, I'll be going back then."

Tsunade got up in a hurry, raising her hand to brush away the strands of hair stuck to her face.

"Thank you for today. I'll be heading back now. You should go back and rest too."

Looking at the wet patch on Qingguang's left shoulder from her drool, Tsunade wished she could dig a hole and bury herself right then and there. She turned and leaped off the rock face.

Qingguang gazed at the moon in the sky, calculating the time. He suddenly realized a serious problem.

"Oh no, tonight..."

A swift figure flashed across the rock face.

Beneath the Hokage's office building, in the laboratory.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listlessly smoked his pipe, puffing out clouds of smoke. Orochimaru sat in a chair, flipping through the experimental data in his hands.

Only when the door was pushed open and Qingguang stood there...

Did Hiruzen Sarutobi get up and step forward.

"Qingguang, you're late."

This was the third time Qingguang was scheduled to inject with Hashirama's cells. Given Qingguang's personality, why would he be late without reason?

The suspicious Hiruzen Sarutobi scrutinized Qingguang with his eyes, his gaze finally landing on his damp collar.

A water stain?

Could it be a trace left by Water Release? Had Qingguang gone out to fight?

His clothes also carried the scent of the forest.

Who had Qingguang been fighting behind his back?

Viewing Qingguang as his loyal dog, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not allow Qingguang to deviate from his control in the slightest.

Even Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, his thoughts unknown.

Sensing their gazes, Qingguang blushed slightly, lowered his head, and nervously fidgeted with his clothes.

"Actually, today I went with Big Sister to see Senior Momoka. We chatted on the rock face for a while this afternoon, and she fell asleep leaning on my shoulder. Seeing how tired she was, I didn't wake her up..."

Seeing Qingguang's reaction, Hiruzen Sarutobi blinked in surprise, then suddenly understood. He stepped forward and patted Qingguang's back, his face full of smiles.

"I understand, I understand. Uncle has been through it too. Back in the day, your aunt and I had quite a few romantic dates~"

"Thinking about it now, sigh~"

"Unfortunately, after we got married and had Shinnosuke, your aunt changed completely. She became more and more temperamental. She'd scold me even for smoking at home."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused and gave Qingguang a thumbs-up.

"Don't worry, Tsunade is a medical ninja, and a few years older than you is nothing. Who knows, when you're old, she might still be as youthful and beautiful as Mito-sama was back then."

"If you're together, it's normal to meet seniors. Did that old stick Momoka bully you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, leaning closer.

"No, she didn't..."

Hearing Qingguang's reply, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but hum softly. "Heh heh~"

"You brat, you're the dream lover of countless girls in the village. That old woman was wise enough."

"Don't worry, I absolutely approve of your marriage with Tsunade. When the time comes, I'll personally be your witness!"

Hearing this news from Qingguang, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth was practically splitting with joy.

His adopted son was getting together with Tsunade. This would further amplify and inflate his political power.

Once they were married, Hiruzen Sarutobi was confident that, like his former teacher Tobirama, he would no longer rely on current benefits but would instead use the prevailing trends to suppress those ninja clans and show them the iron political fist that once struck fear into their hearts!

Qingguang looked shy, lowering his head and remaining silent, but inwardly he silently apologized.

Big Sister, I'm sorry. The plan cannot be exposed, so your reputation will have to be sacrificed.

"Uncle Hiruzen, please don't spread the word about this. We still..."

Before Qingguang could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood and directly interrupted.

"Don't worry, I get it. You don't have much experience in this area. You're still young, take your time. I understand. Getting married later is fine, suffering later too~ Hahaha~"

Qingguang said nothing, only nodding repeatedly.

It wasn't just Hiruzen Sarutobi who was shocked, but also Orochimaru, standing nearby.

Orochimaru even dropped the scroll in his hand in surprise.

His snake-like eyes widened, pupils dilating, his expression blank, his brain having ceased to function.

Qingguang, you can tame Tsunade and be with her. You're something else.

He silently gave Qingguang a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration.

This kind of tigress, only Qingguang can handle her... No, it's probably Qingguang who's been tamed!

At this moment, Orochimaru felt he had seen the truth, and at the same time, new doubts and expectations arose in his heart.

If the two of them have children later, they'll be descendants of Uchiha and Senju. Just how outstanding will their ninja talents be!?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru also strongly agreed with this marriage. With his status, he might even get to be a godfather to the child!

As for Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru's tacit understanding meant they didn't even think of the guy who was always hanging out in taverns, the red-light district, being perverted, and liking to peek at women's baths.

Sorry, we don't know him well at all!

Jiraiya, the prodigal son, would be fine with the toads of Mount Myōboku. It was also good. Let it be. It would be good to continue searching for his prophesied child.

This was a matter of great importance concerning the peace of the ninja world!

Not long after, Qingguang was lying on the operating table, while Hiruzen Sarutobi sat to the side, happily continuing to smoke.

"Qingguang-kun, are you ready? The surgery is about to begin. The dosage this time will be 20% more than last time."

"It's within the absolutely safe range."

"Senior Orochimaru, I trust you. Let's begin."

In the syringe, the solution this time was even greener than the last.

As the needle pierced Qingguang's skin and blood vessels, the liquid was injected bit by bit.

Qingguang could see the points for Wood Release on his status panel rapidly increasing.

[Wood Release: 2025+100+103+115...]

He began to reallocate points, adding them to his Sharingan bit by bit.

Finally, it stopped at [Sharingan: 9999/10000].

The Mangekyo couldn't be activated here. Now was not the time to expose the Mangekyo to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru.
