Time passed slowly, and two years later it was over in the blink of an eye.
Shinsei straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. The young man in the mirror was handsome and sunny, with short hair that made him look very capable.
He was tall and powerful, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and white trousers, with no other accessories, making him look neat and capable.
In the past two years, Shinsei has trained with Hidan whenever he has time, developing a well-defined physique.
Downstairs, his mother was urging him to eat. He opened his bedroom door and went downstairs to the second floor. His father put down his newspaper and took off his glasses.
Shinsei was puzzled. He didn't understand why his father, who wasn't nearsighted, wore glasses all the time, acting like an old man.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Shinsei helped serve the dishes. He was already a head taller than his mother.
Seeing the stove piled high with delicious food, Shinsei asked in surprise, "Is today some special day? Why is breakfast so lavish?"
Upon hearing this, the mother paused for a moment, then said, "Have you forgotten? Today is your birthday!"
Shinsei replied with a smile, "I've been so busy with work these past few days that I didn't even remember my own birthday."
At this, the mother's face immediately fell, and she complained, " The Lord Hokage is really something, why does he dump so much work on you? Why not just make you Hokage already? Anyway..."
Shinsei quickly interrupted his mother.
If Tsunade, his Tsunade, heard this, she might actually hand over the Hokage to him. Becoming Hokage was also his goal, but not right now.
To be honest, Tsunade rarely deals with specific matters now, devoting more of her interest to playing cards and medical research.
This disciple is so easy to use. No matter what task is given to him, Shinsei can always handle it properly. Even when his budget is cut, he doesn't complain.
The villagers were already used to Tsunade and Shinsei's way of getting along. At first, everyone was worried that it might be inappropriate for Shinsei to hold such power at such a young age.
As time went by, Shinsei didn't make any mistakes; on the contrary, he handled all matters, big and small, very well, and thus there were no dissenting voices.
This treatment was limited to the relationship between Shinsei and Tsunade. Besides being from the same clan, they were also master and disciple.
More importantly, Tsunade did not have the ambition to seize power; she would rather spend her time playing cards.
Riya realized she had misspoke; now some people were calling Shinsei the Vice Hokage.
As Shinsei's mother, she absolutely could not let such words come out of her own mouth.
After the family finished eating, Shinsei was about to leave for work. Just as he stepped out of the door, he saw a young girl standing there.
Upon seeing Shinsei come out, she immediately threw herself into Shinsei arms. Shinsei quickly raised his hands high, and Ino grew bolder and bolder.
She made no attempt to hide from the passersby. If Shinsei hadn't been taller and held her head high, she might have dared to take further action.
Ino pulled a bouquet of flowers from behind her back and tucked it into Shinsei's arms. "Happy birthday!"
"Thank you." Although he wasn't a fan of flowers, Shinsei could only accept them because it was Ino's gesture.
"Shall we go out for barbecue tonight?" Ino asked with a beaming smile.
Shinsei couldn't bear to refuse and said, "Alright! I'll inform Naruto and the others."
"No!" Ino exclaimed urgently, "Don't notify them!"
Seeing Ino's pleading eyes, Shinsei was about to nod when he saw a long-haired girl with Byakugan walking towards him from the street corner.
He arrived just in time! He quickly waved to the girl, " Hinata!"
Hinata walked over, her face flushed, and handed a box to Shinsei: "Happy... Happy birthday!"
"Thanks."
Ino turned her head away, clenching her teeth. Then she turned back, a bright smile spreading across her face, "It's settled for tonight, I'll be waiting for you at Yakiniku Q."
Before Shinsei could answer, Ino dashed out, giving Xingchen no chance to refuse.
She walked to the corner and swung her fist fiercely at the wall.
A person nearby watched the little girl smashing the wall with some surprise.
Ino turned her face away, tossing her golden hair, and said fiercely:
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful girl before?"
The man touched his nose and slunk Earth Flow.
"Damn it!" Ino muttered angrily to herself, "I was here first! I'm not going to let them have it!"
Hinata rubbed her fingers together, lowered her head, and asked softly, "Tomorrow, do you have time? Father wants to invite you to come over."
"I can find the time tomorrow. Is there anything I can do for your father?"
Hinata began rubbing the ground with her toes. " Hanabi... my little sister Hanabi."
Hinata's words made Shinsei instantly understand why Hyuga Hiashi to see him.
It seems that Hyuga Hiashi is urging him to fulfill his promise, as he had previously promised to take Hanabi as his apprentice.
That's not a problem. Training a child doesn't take much time anyway; one Shadow Clone is enough.
"No problem. I'll visit your family tomorrow."
Hinata glanced up at Shinsei, and although she wanted to stay, she knew that Shinsei had a lot of work to do and couldn't stay here indefinitely.
"You, you go ahead and do your work."
"Okay, I'll come tomorrow."
Upon entering the Hokage's office, I saw Tsunade playing cards on her desk; two of them were her real body, and the other was Shadow Clone.
Tsunade doesn't hide anything from people when she does these things now. If anything happens, just find Shinsei, and she can just sleep soundly in her office.
Many ninjas had become accustomed to Tsunade's style; what else could they do?
They tried to persuade him but he wouldn't listen, and they couldn't beat him in a fight, but nothing serious happened. As for the image of the Hokage, wasn't that completely ruined by Tsunade long ago?
One of the Tsunade looked up, glanced at Shinsei, then continued pondering her next move, asking, "Is today your birthday?"
"Yes, what gift would you like to give me, teacher?"
The other Tsunade looked up and said nonchalantly, "I'll deduct less from your mission fee next time."
Wow, so generous! It's surprising that Shinsei agreed so easily to something he couldn't get through despite his strong arguments.
Just as Shinsei was about to return to his office, Tsunade suddenly called out to him:
"Wait a moment."
Shinsei stopped and stood behind Tsunade.
They won't talk business until they finish this round of cards.
One of the Tsunade threw down her cards, leaving her with only two Kings. The other two Tsunade looked at each other, completely at a loss for what to do.
Tsunade spread her hands. "Give me the money, give me the money!"
Seeing that she had lost everything, Tsunade, who had created Shadow Clone, simply rolled her eyes and dispelled the Shadow Clone.
Tsunade snatched her winnings from another pile of Tsunade's money before turning to Shinsei and saying:
"Do you want to Hokage?"
