The Hokage succession ceremony ended quickly because Tsunade was swift and decisive.
But everyone was quite satisfied.
After all, who in their right mind likes to listen to long - winded speeches?
Ino Yamanaka and the others didn't stay. They were going back to school.
Even for a major event like the change of Hokage, they only got half a day off.
Natsume went straight to the Hokage Building.
Outside Tsunade's office, he heard an argument.
"Tsunade, there's only one child left in the Uchiha clan now, Sasuke."
Homura Mitokado's rather serious voice came out. "He's too young to manage so many inheritances. It should be handed over to Konoha."
If you didn't know any better, you'd really think he cared about Sasuke Uchiha.
"That's right. Sasuke has just turned seven. Suddenly having so much property will only make him lose control. Maybe he'll be corrupted by money."
Koharu Utatane echoed, "It won't do him any good in the future."
Natsume outside the door wanted to laugh.
In the original story, after Sasuke Uchiha married Sakura Haruno, they lived in abject poverty and even had a mortgage to pay off.
The Uchiha clan, once the largest ninja clan in Konoha, must have had no shortage of money.
As the only heir, Sasuke Uchiha ended up in such a wretched state, most likely due to the Konoha high - ups.
Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't step in, Tanzō Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
But now there's a new Hokage.
"Whom do you two think should manage it?"
Tsunade held back her anger and asked calmly, "To you two?"
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado exchanged a look and immediately showed smiles.
Just as they expected, Tsunade had just taken office. How could she have any trusted people?
"There's definitely no problem handing it over to us."
Homura Mitokado took a half - step forward. He was secretly overjoyed, but his face showed a sense of righteousness. "We will definitely manage the Uchiha clan's property well and return it to Sasuke when he comes of age."
"You're so shameless!"
Tsunade clenched her fists and roared, "You two old geezers, don't think I don't know what you're up to!"
"Tsunade! We're at least your elders. Well, just because you've just become Hokage, are you going to target us?"
Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane suddenly looked ugly.
"Humph, I don't have elders like you. You even want to embezzle the money of an orphaned child!"
Tsunade stared at them fearlessly.
"What embezzlement? It's called safeguarding!"
Homura Mitokado blushed and argued with a thick neck.
How can the affairs of the Konoha high - ups be described so crudely?
"I'm the Hokage, dammit!"
Tsunade was too lazy to argue with them anymore and directly used her status to suppress them. "I'll handle this. You don't need to meddle!"
Now she understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tanzō Shimura always ended with this sentence.
There was no other way.
Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were so loath to let such a huge fortune slip through their fingers.
But since Tsunade had brought up her status as the Hokage, if they continued to argue, they'd turn against each other.
"Tsunade, you'll regret this!"
The two left with this classic line.
Natsume frowned.
Those were all my lines!
You two old coots are dead meat!
How dare you steal my lines!
Tsunade let out a sigh.
Being the Hokage is no easy job.
If it weren't for paving the way for Natsume, she really wouldn't want to take over the position of Hokage and keep arguing with these two old fogeys.
She leaned back in the Hokage's soft chair, stretching her whole body.
Since there was no one around, she was very casual.
Her thin top clung tightly to her curvaceous figure. Her long, slender jade legs were crossed and swayed gently. Her delicate little toes were exposed to the air through her high - heeled sandals.
"Sister."
Natsume's voice rang out.
He opened the door and saw Tsunade in this defenseless and slack state. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It seemed that quarreling with the two Hokage advisors was really tiring.
"Yes, you're here."
Tsunade's beautiful eyes blinked slightly and she asked, "Did you hear the conversation just now?"
"I did."
Natsume walked behind her and reached out his hands to massage her shoulders through her clothes.
Tsunade felt his massage and gradually relaxed her body. Her mood also improved.
"What do you think we should do?"
"Of course, we should leave it to Sasuke."
Natsume still had his bottom line.
Besides, there were many ways to make money. Why rob a child's inheritance?
"You've got a bit of a conscience after all."
Tsunade hooked the corner of her mouth into a smile, closed her eyes, and said.
"Hey, what do you mean by that?"
Natsume got a little angry. He stopped massaging and instead held her two soft little hands.
Then he leaned his head on her shoulder, smelled the fragrance lightly, and then bit her earlobe. He nibbled and licked it.
Tsunade suddenly opened her eyes. Her face and ears turned completely red in an instant, as if they would bleed if squeezed.
Her body trembled for a few seconds, her heart rate accelerated, and she slumped in the Hokage's soft chair.
"Ugh... sorry..."
Tsunade's eyes were filled with tears and she quickly apologized.
"That's a good girl."
Natsume let her go.
"Ah! You little rascal, you're getting bold!"
Tsunade took a deep breath, immediately got up, and pinned him against the wall with one hand, saying viciously.
Natsume really didn't react in time.
He was pinned down all of a sudden.
He thought to himself that women really changed their moods faster than turning the pages of a book.
What should he do?
Now that his vital point was pinned down, he couldn't even run away.
Oh...!
"Um... Sister... I was just joking with you earlier."
When it came to women, Natsume had always known when to yield and when to stand his ground. He quickly changed his tune and apologized at lightning speed, "Sorry, I won't dare to do it again!"
"Joking?"
A vein popped out on Tsunade's forehead. Remembering the feeling she had never experienced before, she glared at Natsume with a murderous look.
But still not feeling vented enough, she directly pushed him to the ground and stomped on him hard a few times.
However, she wasn't that cruel after all. She took off her shoes before stomping.
Her naturally beautiful legs and fair bare feet.
The power she unleashed was really amazing.
Natsume regretted not wearing more clothes.
"Sorry."
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Tsunade softened her heart and pulled him up again.
"Don't do such a thing again next time."
"Definitely not!"
Natsume immediately patted his chest and promised.
He noticed that Tsunade had taken off her shoes and quickly squatted down.
"Sister, sit down. I'll help you put on your shoes."
"Humph, at least you're sensible."
Tsunade sat down again and first stretched out her right foot.
Natsume grasped her somewhat cold and delicate feet. The soft and slippery touch was hard to let go of.
However, to prevent her from suspecting, he quickly helped her put on the shoes.
Tsunade's heart stirred slightly.
Natsume's movements were very gentle, as if he was picking up a very precious porcelain.
She secretly thought that this guy was still quite kind to her.
"Alright, go back first."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I have to handle the remaining issues of the Uchiha clan."
"Okay."
Natsume didn't disturb her either.
He didn't hold any position currently, so it wasn't convenient for him to get involved.
After Natsume left, Tsunade immediately stood up and locked the office door from the inside.
She heaved a long sigh and secretly thought that fortunately she had brought extra clothes, otherwise it would have been a hassle.
