Konoha Hot Springs.
Sasame rented out the entire place and even set up a barrier.
"Why are you being so cautious?" Tsunade said, leaning against the divider with a chuckle. "Anyone would think we're in another village."
Steam rose. A spherical object floated in the water, faintly visible.
"Konoha's hot springs are full of peeping toms. Better to be safe than sorry," Sasame sank into the hot spring, and the water rippled outwards.
"I have a feeling you're talking about Jiraiya," Tsunade exhaled and closed her eyes. "He came to see me yesterday."
"What did he want?" Sasame leaned in and rested on her right side. He wasn't doing anything else. After all, the purpose of this outing was to soak in the hot spring, not anything else. Although he could do it anytime, there was no need to be so impatient.
But why did Jiraiya come to see Tsunade? Was he still trying to do something for Mount Myōboku? Sasame had seen him staying in Konoha Village without doing anything, and he thought Jiraiya had given up. Because whatever he did would be futile. It would only bring trouble upon himself.
"He said he wouldn't be going out for a while and wanted to teach Naruto," Tsunade's face showed a hint of confusion. "That's not like him. He always prioritized Mount Myōboku's prophecies." This meant Jiraiya hadn't mentioned the destruction of Mount Myōboku. Sasame was thoughtful. He was probably just trying to avoid provoking him for now.
"Did you agree?" Sasame asked casually.
"No," Tsunade glanced at him. "You're the Hokage, and Naruto is your student. What difference does it make if I agree or not?"
"It makes a difference," Sasame smiled. "If you had agreed, I wouldn't have said anything."
"I'm not a woman who acts arrogant because she's favored!" Tsunade kicked him. There was no real force behind it.
"I'd be very happy if you did," Sasame reached out, trying to grab her hand.
"I'm not a little girl," Tsunade slapped his hand away. "We'll talk after we're done bathing."
"Sister, I think you're misunderstanding me," Sasame said righteously. "I'm not that kind of person." Tsunade stared at him, looking completely unconvinced.
"And a lot of the time, it's you..." Sasame hadn't finished speaking when Tsunade angrily pushed him into her arms. She clenched her fist and repeatedly struck his head. Water splashed everywhere. Sasame was hit by the heavy chest continuously.
"Shut up!" Tsunade pushed him away after venting her anger.
"..." Sasame looked at her with a wronged expression. His face was covered in hot spring water, making him look quite pathetic. But Tsunade was long immune to his antics. She didn't feel sorry for him; instead, she laughed happily. Sasame twitched his lips. She's laughing now, but tonight I'll make her cry.
Should I allow Jiraiya to teach Naruto Uzumaki? He thought about it and also started to smile. To be honest, what could Jiraiya teach him now? In the original story, it was nothing more than the Rasengan, Sage Mode, and controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra. But Naruto Uzumaki had already learned all of them.
"What are you thinking about?" Tsunade saw his strange smile and felt a little panicked.
"I'm thinking about what to eat tonight," Sasame said meaningfully. Tsunade was slightly startled. She felt that his words were a little off. She turned her head. "It's still early for dinner."
"Eating is an important part of life," Sasame tilted his head. While Tsunade wasn't looking, he opened a bottle and took a sip of cold fresh milk.
"You should be soaking in the hot spring!" Tsunade's body trembled. She glared at him.
"It's too hot," Sasame said, licking his lips.
"Hmph, you really are a shameless person." Tsunade crossed her arms.
"I'm not!" To prove himself, Sasame started working diligently as a scrubber.
An hour later. The two left the hot spring. They were a little dizzy from soaking for too long. Their skin was also flushed. Sasame was fine due to his Sage Body. Tsunade was a little different. She stumbled as she walked.
"It feels good to occasionally soak in a hot spring," Sasame stretched.
"It does," Tsunade casually picked up her clothes and put them on. "But it's not good to do it with you. Next time, I'll go with Shizune."
"Huh?" Sasame scratched his head.
"You ruined most of the time we had for soaking," Tsunade said, displeased. Sasame could only smile apologetically. He couldn't help it. A normal man would not be able to remain indifferent in that situation. It seems in the future, before soaking in the hot spring, he'd have to go to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki first. As the saying goes, when you're full, you don't feel hungry anymore.
The two returned home. In the living room, Shizune and Mikoto Uchiha were discussing Chiharu. More accurately, the latter was sharing her experience. She had two children, so she knew more than Shizune. Shizune was listening very attentively. One, to take care of Chiharu. Two, to be prepared. Her own child might be born someday.
"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama," Mikoto Uchiha noticed the two and stood up to greet them.
"Mikoto, thank you for today. Stay for dinner, how about it?" Tsunade smiled.
"No," Mikoto Uchiha said after some thought. "Sasuke is waiting for me to go back. Maybe next time."
"Alright then," Tsunade didn't force her.
"I'll walk Aunt Mikoto back," Sasame said, stepping forward. "I'll use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu so we don't have to walk."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama," Mikoto Uchiha said, her voice gentle. Sasame glanced at Tsunade, then used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
In an instant, the two appeared in Mikoto Uchiha's room. Yugito Nii was in the room. She saw Sasame and Mikoto Uchiha, and her vigilant expression relaxed.
"Hokage-sama," Yugito Nii said. She didn't know the relationship between Sasame and Mikoto Uchiha yet, so she still used the respectful title.
"Okay," Sasame didn't waste time on explanations. He turned to Mikoto Uchiha. "Aunt Mikoto, please have a chat with my black cat." After saying that, he left the room. Mikoto Uchiha and Yugito Nii looked at each other. They both understood Sasame's meaning. Yugito Nii once again realized her master's wicked sense of humor. Mikoto Uchiha's identity. She knew it. She didn't expect that even the widow was taken in. Mikoto Uchiha's thoughts were different. When she saw Yugito Nii earlier, she was wondering why a ninja from the Cloud Village was a Hokage bodyguard in Konoha. Now she finally understood.
A black cat?Does Sasame like that? Mikoto Uchiha fell into deep thought.
Sasame had thought Jiraiya would approach him soon, but he didn't. Instead, he had an unexpected visitor: Hinata Hyuga.
"Have a cup of water," Sasame poured a cup of water and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Big Brother Sasame," Hinata Hyuga said, holding the cup with both hands and taking a small sip. Her movements were elegant and cute.
"What's wrong?" Sasame sat beside her. "Why didn't you say anything last night?" He still brought Hinata Hyuga a late-night snack every day.
"It's because... I'm here for official business today," Hinata Hyuga said a little awkwardly.
"Then tell me about it," Sasame said, pinching her cheek, his expression full of kindness. "It's about the Caged Bird seal," Hinata Hyuga said, lowering her head slightly. The touch on her cheek made her a little shy, but she was used to it, so she didn't blush. On the contrary, she was quite happy. Sasame raised an eyebrow. He had almost thought that Hiashi Hyuga was not going to make a change. He didn't expect him to come so late. He was indeed an indecisive person.
"I've already talked to my father about it," Hinata Hyuga said softly. "The Hyuga clan has decided that there will no longer be a Main House and a Branch House."
Sasame's eyes lit up. Her demeanor was full of dignity. She really did have the aura of a Hyuga heiress.
"What do you plan to do?" Sasame asked, rubbing her head. The aura of dignity immediately vanished.
"First, we'll improve the Caged Bird seal. Then we'll gain the support of the Branch House members. Finally, we'll go and see the Main House elders," Hinata Hyuga said in one breath. She had clearly prepared for this.
"Do it," Sasame said immediately.
"Thank you, Big Brother Sasame!" Hinata Hyuga's spirits lifted. Although she knew he would support her, his unhesitating support still moved her.
"Do you have a plan for improving the Caged Bird seal?" Sasame asked. At that moment, he thought of the omnipotent Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
"No," Hinata Hyuga shook her head, taking out a scroll. "Big Brother Sasame, can you have the sealing team help us?" Sasame opened it and glanced at it. It was the relevant information on the Caged Bird seal. The Caged Bird seal was a cursed seal, which fell under the category of sealing jutsu. It was a good idea to seek the help of the sealing team. The fact that Hiashi Hyuga was willing to hand it over showed his determination. This time, he was serious.
"I'll let you know when we have some results," Sasame put away the scroll. He planned to go see Kaguya Ōtsutsuki later. After all, he had just bothered her, so he couldn't go so soon. It was not good for his body.
A month passed quickly. The Research Department was successfully established. Kurenai Yuhi had recruited a lot of computer talent from various countries. Sasame gave them some knowledge from his previous life to help them establish a network as soon as possible. In fact, if he hadn't interfered, it would have appeared in this world not long after. After all, in Boruto, the slogan that the ninja era was ending was already being spread. The scientific ninja tools, which were devices powered by chakra, were very popular.
The new Hokage bodyguard team was now on the right track. The controversy it caused had quietly disappeared. There was nothing they could do. The Hokage was too powerful. Even if they were unhappy, no one dared to openly question him. After all, major clans like the Hyuga and Sarutobi had no objections. The others naturally stayed quiet.
Konoha Village was peaceful. A major event happened in the Land of Fire. Before, Sasame had wanted to directly replace the Daimyo, but it would have caused too much controversy. So he took a gentler approach. He had Koyuki Kazahana and Uzumaki Ena take over the Land of Fire. It was very similar to how Prime Minister Cao Cao controlled the emperor to command the lords. The Land of Fire had entered a new era. The two of them, working together, had issued many new orders. They established new schools and an imperial examination system. They cleaned out the corrupt nobles and focused more on the economy. In short, it was becoming more and more like his previous life. But it would take a long time to see any major results. Fortunately, in the ninja world, strength was paramount. Any backlash would be useless. Sasame just had to wait for the results in Konoha Village.
Hokage Office. Kurenai Yuhi knocked and entered. She was slightly startled. Sasame was lying on the Hokage's chair, seemingly asleep. She thought for a moment, walked over, and whispered, "Sasame." There was no response. She was a little surprised. With Sasame's strength, he should have woken up at the slightest sound. Was he really that tired? Thinking of this, Kurenai Yuhi walked behind him and started massaging him. In fact, Sasame was currently engrossed in the Heavenly Network. The Heavenly Network was structured around Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Of course, its essence was chakra. Chakra was the combination of spiritual and physical power. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had enough power to input chakra from a long distance. Sasame had a sudden idea. He had Kaguya Ōtsutsuki use her chakra to create a genjutsu. The two of them were able to play online games. Yes, Sasame was playing a game of Naruto with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Of course, all the in-game purchases were removed, and only the battle mode was kept. Under normal circumstances, Sasame definitely couldn't beat Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. But in the Heavenly Network, he could add restrictions. For example, not using chakra. The two of them were evenly matched. Therefore, Sasame had no time to respond to Kurenai Yuhi.
The battle ended. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was slightly defeated. This was mainly because she wasn't familiar with the game. In terms of speed and reaction time, she was faster than Sasame. But she had only been playing for a few days.
"I'm busy. We'll play again later." Sasame opened his eyes. He saw Kurenai Yuhi. She was staring at him. She had been massaging him, but after he didn't respond for a long time, she started staring blankly. Sasame was slightly startled and leaned in. Kurenai Yuhi was only released when she couldn't breathe. Her face was flushed, and the lipstick on her lips had faded considerably.
"I... I..." Kurenai Yuhi stammered for a long time. The kiss had interrupted her thoughts.
"Sister Kurenai, take your time," Sasame said, pulling her into his arms. Kurenai Yuhi's body stiffened, and her mind went completely blank. Until she felt his mischievous hand on her thigh through her stockings. She immediately got up. She left Sasame with only a faint scent. To be honest, his actions were quite shameless. But surprisingly, Kurenai Yuhi wasn't angry. She turned her head and reported the situation. "Naruto... has returned from Ryūchi Cave."
"He learned Sage Mode?" Sasame asked, admiring the shy mature woman in front of him. "Yes," Kurenai Yuhi was even more uncomfortable being stared at. But as the Hokage's secretary, she couldn't run away. She took a deep breath and said, "Lord Jiraiya wants to see you."
"Oh?" Sasame was a little surprised. When had Jiraiya ever been so polite? It was clear he needed something.
"Have him come to see me," Sasame said.
"Okay," Kurenai Yuhi tidied her clothes, then looked at her stockings. After confirming they were fine, she left the office.
