The fluorescent tube above the head was so bright that it shone on the bottles and jars on the countertop, and the glass wall reflected tiny spots of light.
Tsunade was wearing a white lab coat, with the skirt open, revealing the dark blue lining underneath. The sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, and there was a dried medicine stain on the forearm, which was light green and glowed coldly under the fluorescent lamp.
The golden ponytail hung down from the back of her shoulders, and a few strands of hair were scattered beside her ears, which she raised her hands to tuck behind her ears.
After a lot of work, it was done. Tsunade carefully poured the finished product into a small bottle.
The glass bottle is about the size of a thumb, and the mouth of the bottle is plugged with a cork. The liquid in the bottle is transparent, and when it is shaken under the light, it reflects a circle of fine halos.
Tsunade stood in front of the stage, staring down at the small bottle, with a smile on his tired face.
Talking to himself triumphantly.
"Finally it worked."
"Chiyo old woman's black heart, combined with my wisdom!"
"No one can detoxify this poison except me!"
She lifted the bottle and turned it half a circle towards the fluorescent tube. The transparent liquid hung a thin film on the wall of the bottle, which was uniform, translucent, and without any impurities.
"Uchiha Yongye."
"You either have to be obedient or, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Her fingers clenched the bottle tightly, and a slight chill came from her fingertips through the glass.
"Want to sleep with me for a year? Huh, not without a price!"
The light shone down from above her head, casting a bright paleness on her face.
When Tsunade walked up the stairs from Underground Base, the collapsed Ruins of Hokage Building had disappeared and was replaced by a new building.
The gray-green wooden exterior wall still has a layer of undried tree pulp luster on the surface, glowing with a moist dark light in the twilight.
The frame of the building rises from the ground. The cross-sections of the beams and columns are as thick as an adult's waist. Each one is embedded in its original position, and the mortise and tenon joints fit together perfectly.
The building has three floors. The window frame is made from a whole piece of wood, and there is a circle of fine green sprouts growing around the edge, swaying gently in the evening breeze.
Tsunade stared at the building, feet nailed in place, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Her eyes swept from the building foundation to the roof, and from the roof to the buds that were still growing, her lips opened and closed, closed and opened again.
Grandpa's Wood Release!
After taking over the position of Fifth Hokage, Tsunade knew that there was another Wood Release ninja in Konoha.
But knowing and seeing it with her own eyes are two different things. In an instant, she was filled with thoughts.
After a while, Tsunade shook his head, shook away his inappropriate thoughts, continued to move forward, and stepped into it.
The interior of the building is empty.
The floor of the lobby on the first floor is still fresh wood and is slightly soft when stepped on, with an astringent smell of grass juice.
Tsunade's Geta stepped on the wooden boards, making a slight creaking sound. She walked through the empty hall and walked up the stairs. The stair handrails were made of logs, with some small branches still remaining on the surface, which felt rough but smooth.
There are several rooms on the second floor.
The one to the south has been cleaned, the floor is covered with a layer of newly woven straw mats, and a desk is placed against the wall.
The table also grew out of Wood Release. The table top is flat and smooth. The table legs are four thick tree roots, the ends of which are embedded in the floor and grow together with the entire building.
Tsunade sat down behind the desk and glanced at the several briefing papers Shikaku had just sent on the table. The edges of the pages were still curled and the ink had dried.
She picked up the top one, read three lines, and then put it down with a frown.
"Shizune."
"Have someone prepare dinner for me. Prepare more, double it."
Thinking of how that Uchiha boy was going to do whatever he wanted tonight, her voice was half a degree higher than usual, with an uncontrollable irritation.
--It's all because of impulsiveness that I agreed to Ayame!
Tsunade felt regretful and anxious at the same time.
There was a short "yes" from outside the door, and then the sound of Geta running down the stairs, thump-dong-dong, getting farther and farther away.
Tsunade leaned on the back of the chair and looked up at the sky.
The ceiling above the head is made of new wood, and you can still see rings of growth rings, glowing with warm brown light in the twilight that comes through the window.
She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, took a deep breath, suppressed all distracting thoughts, stood up and sat down, and quickly dealt with the accumulated government affairs.
When Shizune brought dinner, she quickly finished eating and then continued.
Time flew by, with only a few scattered documents remaining on the table, and the sky became completely dark.
When the moon rose, there was a sound of breaking through the sky outside the window. It was sharp, rapid, and domineering, pressing down from the eastern sky.
Tsunade As he turned around, a black shadow swept in from the window. The hem of his robe unfolded and fell in the airflow, looking chic and calm.
Yongye.
He stood by the window, with his hands in his trouser pockets, his chin raised slightly, his eyes swept around the office, and finally fell on Tsunade. He found that her left and right sides had returned to symmetry, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Who!"
The sound of a chair being knocked open came from the next door, followed by the rapid sound of Geta falling to the ground. The sound of Shizune was urgent and high-pitched, and the tail sound was so high that it almost broke.
Geta quickly rushed to the door. The moment the door panel was pushed open, Shizune was already holding a Kunai in his hand, with the blade tip facing outward, ready to go.
"Lady Tsunade! Are you okay?"
Tsunade looked away from Yongye and fell on the Kunai at the door. She put away all distracting thoughts and tried her best to remain as usual.
"I'm fine."
Shizune's Kunai didn't put it down, but her shoulders relaxed and her steps stopped.
Her eyes crossed Tsunade's shoulders and fell on the figure by the window. Her pupils shrank suddenly. The Kunai was held in her hand for a while, and then immediately dropped.
Yongye turned his head and looked at the Kunai that had been hanging down at the door, and smiled with satisfaction.
"It's me. I want to discuss business with Lord Hokage. Don't be too busy."
"You can't afford to pay for big orders worth tens of billions a year!"
Shizune's fingers clenched the handle of Kunai again, the knuckles were raised, and then they were released.
She took her hand back, took a step back, and returned to the corridor. Geta stepped on the wooden board, made two soft sounds, and then stopped.
The door panel swung twice at the door and closed completely. But there was no sound from the corridor.
--This is a smart man!
Yongye secretly praised it in his heart, and decided to give her a Kato Hide for free if there is a chance in the future, without charging any money.
Tsunade stood there, staring at Yongye, her face starting to turn red from her cheekbones. She raised her hand to pick up the broken hair beside her ear, and stroked her fingertips from the auricle to the earlobe, her movements a little slower than usual.
"... Want to be here?"
Her voice was low, uneasy and furtive.
Yongye looked at her, the smile on his lips became a little stronger.
"No, it's fun when there are people working here during the day. Let's talk about it later."
He turned sideways, stared at Tsunade's pretty face and smiled evilly.
"If we have better arrangements tonight, we will definitely make it unforgettable for you!"
