On the second day, all the way until noon, Kairen and Tsunade still hadn't gotten up.
Kurenai felt puzzled. She went upstairs, planning to see what on earth they were doing.
But she saw two Kairen shadow clones wearing black clothes and sunglasses standing guard at Tsunade's door.
Kurenai tried to go in, but the two bodyguard clones stopped her and explained:
"Tsunade-sama and the boss played chess all night last night. Both of them are exhausted, Miss Kurenai, please come again later!"
"Played chess?"
Kurenai's head was full of little question marks. She suddenly remembered the wolf howls and sheep bleats from last night—how could playing chess be that loud?!
It was as if they'd used a building-shaking device, going bang bang dadadadada.
Kairen crawled out from Tsunade's blanket. Looking at the blonde woman who seemed even more beautiful than before, he smiled.
After all, he had the Sage Body. How could Tsunade compete with him? If he hadn't constantly used Creation Rebirth to heal her, how could she possibly have fought Kairen until dawn?!
Kairen gently kissed Tsunade on the forehead. The woman was still secretly sleeping, so he didn't disturb her. He put on his clothes and stepped out of Tsunade's room.
After Kairen left, Tsunade poked her head out of the blanket, her face full of barely concealed shyness.
Back in his own room, Kairen used Wood Release to form a desk, then created a diary notebook and a pen, preparing to write an entry.
Why was he writing a diary? Not because he was a decent person, but because last night's big event absolutely had to be recorded in a diary.
Autumn of Konoha Year 49, on this day, I, Moku Kairen, write my first diary entry. It represents the beginning of a brand-new page. From today onward, I will write more diaries.
—Moku Kairen Diary, Tsunade Chapter.
"Mm~"
Wolon and Fenchu leapt onto Kairen's desk, curiously watching what he was writing.
They couldn't read it at all, so they only tugged at Kairen's sleeve with little "yy" cries, asking for bamboo shoots.
Looking at his two strategists, Kairen suddenly thought that they were also at the age where they should start studying.
Snap!
Kairen snapped his fingers. A shadow clone appeared—it was Smart Kairen.
Kairen pointed at Wolon and Fenchu and said to Smart Kairen:
"Starting today, you teach these two to read. You must cultivate them into talents worthy of assisting a nation."
Wolon & Fenchu: (||๐_๐)
Smart Kairen nodded. "Sometimes I really think they're too dumb. They can't even learn Sand Toss or Iron Tail. It must be because they've never read books."
Kairen nodded with deep agreement. Looking at Wolon and Fenchu, he said:
"I'll check on you every night. You need to learn 10 characters a day. If you fail to finish your task… your bamboo shoots for the day will be cut in half!"
These words crashed down like heavenly thunder.
Wolon and Fenchu collapsed directly onto the desk, their little white bellies facing the sky, their black-and-white fur turning sorrowfully gray.
Kairen glanced outside.
The sun was bright—already noon.
"Knock knock knock…"
A light tapping came from the door, followed by a crisp voice:
"Kairen, come down and eat!"
"Coming!"
Kairen stretched lazily, then looked at the two panda babies obediently writing little lines on the desk with their paws.
He chuckled, grabbed one in each hand, and pushed open the wooden door.
At the same time, the door across from him—Tsunade's—also opened. The golden-haired beauty let out a long yawn, her laziness glowing with unmatched allure.
Curved brows and full cheeks, beauty tinged with a rosy glow—like a lotus flower stained faintly with worldly red, graceful yet generous.
Simply put, after being watered by Kairen, she had become even more beautiful.
Tsunade also saw Kairen, and a blush instantly covered her face.
Her thirty-something years of purity had been plucked by a wild bull last night.
More accurately, she had drugged him first to… test the merchandise. Only after verifying did she realize how terrifying the bull was.
Thinking of how her chess formation collapsed last night, Tsunade couldn't help sinking into the memory. The corner of her mouth lifted in a small smile.
Ding!
"Tsunade currently shows moderate affection toward you!"
Kairen's Sage Body captured Tsunade's emotions. He set down the two cubs, kicking them aside to watch the drama.
"Tsunade, morning!"
Kairen walked toward her. The fragrance of the beauty invaded his nose, making him recall that little boat again.
With his masculine aura drawing close, Tsunade stepped back.
Kairen quickly caught her hand, smiling as he looked at her:
"Tsunade, you weren't this shy last night."
Tsunade shook her head, a bitter smile crossing her face. Then she grabbed Kairen's cheek, pulling it back and forth.
"You little brat, I'm ruined in your hands in this lifetime."
Kairen immediately retorted:
"What do you mean ruined in my hands? You're the one who drugged me first last night."
By criminal law standards, Tsunade had already committed a crime against him.
Tsunade cursed:
"That thing is totally useless against you. The moment you came in you started taking off your clothes, impatient like a monkey."
"Forget it, forget it! Enough! Let's go eat first. After dinner, tonight we'll play a few more rounds!"
"Who's afraid of who?!"
Tsunade put her hands on her hips, full of heroic vigor.
The two went downstairs together and kneeled by the small dining table to eat.
Kurenai and Shizune stared at Tsunade nonstop. Feeling strange from their stares, Tsunade asked:
"What? Did flowers grow on my face?"
Kairen smiled. Since ancient times, it was always the same—after plowing, a woman became more beautiful and more charming.
If she didn't show these traits, it meant the man wasn't capable.
Shizune said softly:
"Tsunade-sensei, you look so beautiful today!"
She looked toward Kairen, who had a slightly wicked smile on his lips.
Since they already knew each other inside and out, Tsunade only needed one glance at Kairen to instantly understand what that expression meant.
Tsunade straightened her posture. A flash of rationality crossed her heart—she and Kairen could never be open about this. If they continued, it would have to be a secret relationship.
Besides, Tsunade could not delay Kairen. He carried the responsibility of continuing the Senju bloodline.
Tsunade shook her head. She'd already used him once—this second-hand good could be left for the women outside.
After lunch, Tsunade stood up.
"I have to go to the Hokage Building and deal with documents. You three train by yourselves today."
The three nodded.
After Tsunade left, Kairen turned toward Kurenai and Shizune.
He snapped his fingers, creating two shadow clones to teach Shizune and Kurenai medical ninjutsu and genjutsu.
"Mm~"
Kairen stood up. Wolon and Fenchu climbed onto his back along his clothes. One man and two bears slowly walked out of the house.
