Nara Dan turned his head with interest,
"Elder Tsunade..."
"Why are you still here?"
"The meeting's already over."
To his surprise, Tsunade was eyeing Nara Dan with a strange look, until he started to feel a little unnerved.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Nara Dan asked, puzzled.
"I'm trying to figure out what kind of monster you are."
"In any case, you don't seem to have much to do with humanity anymore."
Tsunade spoke with her eyes shining.
Ever since she'd met him, this guy had continually made her rethink what she knew about humanity.
And judging by what Nara Dan was doing now, Tsunade even felt that he might surpass both of her grandfathers.
At this, Nara Dan shrugged.
"I can't tell whether you're insulting me..."
"Or complimenting me."
"But right now, I'm the Hokage."
Nara Dan wore a faint smile, radiating an air of absolute confidence.
"So I'll take it as a compliment."
Hearing this, Tsunade saw the confidence in Nara Dan's expression and lost herself for a moment.
When she came to, Nara Dan was already joking and laughing with Yakushi Nonō beside him.
For some reason, seeing Nara Dan's sharply defined profile and the way he smiled as he bantered with Yakushi Nonō...
A strange feeling flickered through Tsunade's heart, one she didn't think she'd ever experienced before.
It was subtle, yet uncomfortable.
Even Tsunade, who normally had nerves of steel, felt a little flustered.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The meeting room door was knocked on again, and Nara Shikaku came in.
Taking advantage of the interruption, Tsunade hurried out, without even having time to say goodbye.
Still immersed in his work, Nara Dan hadn't really noticed Tsunade's odd behavior. Instead, he looked straight at Nara Shikaku.
"Shikaku, take a look at these proposals first."
