The next morning, the sun shone into the room through the window, soft and warm. Sasuke carefully walked into the room with the breakfast he bought from a nearby shop.
At this time, Tsunade had woken up. Her eyes were a little hazy, but her body was in good condition. The situation seemed to have improved. However, Shizune, who was beside her, was still deeply asleep, not yet fully recovered.
It had to be said that Tsunade, as a member of the Senju clan, possessed an astonishingly resilient body. When Tsunade saw Sasuke returning with breakfast, she couldn't help but feel a warm surge in her heart. It had been a long time since anyone had taken care of her so attentively. This kind of care made her feel extremely warm and touched.
Sasuke thoughtfully took out the hangover soup he bought and gently said, "You're awake? Let's drink some hangover soup. It will help relieve the headache. Otherwise, you might have a headache all day today."
As he said that, he gently handed the hangover soup to Tsunade's mouth with very careful and gentle movements. Tsunade blushed instantly, looking particularly shy. She quickly took the hangover soup and said softly, "I'll do it myself!"
Then, she held the bowl and took small sips of the hangover soup, feeling warmth throughout. Watching Tsunade's charming lips as she drank the soup, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a desire to taste that delicious soup himself.
So, without hesitation, he scooped up a spoonful of hangover soup from the bowl and slowly drank it. After drinking, Sasuke didn't put down the spoon immediately but turned his gaze to Tsunade, with a fiery light shining in his eyes. Then, he slowly approached Tsunade and gently touched her lips with his. A passionate and affectionate kiss began.
This kiss was full of passion and desire, as if they were melting into each other. Tsunade's breathing gradually became rapid, and her hands unconsciously grasped Sasuke's clothes, responding to his passion. The two of them were tightly entwined, their heartbeats synchronizing into the melody of love.
After a long time, Sasuke finally let go of Tsunade's lips, and their eyes met, full of love and attachment. Tsunade blushed, panted slightly, and lowered her head shyly. Sasuke stroked her hair and said with a mischievous smile, "Tsunade-sama, I..."
Looking at Sasuke's intense gaze, even though the next words were left unsaid, Tsunade already understood what he meant. Her face turned bright red with embarrassment. "Shizune is still here, stop making trouble!"
Although she said this, she did not stop Sasuke's actions. Of course, Sasuke knew what this meant. Later, he and Tsunade began to work on developing techniques and research on taijutsu. Taijutsu emphasizes the integration of waist and hips to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy. Even Tsunade had to learn from Sasuke when it came to the integration of waist and hips.
Meanwhile, Shizune, who was sleeping soundly next to them, suddenly felt something strange. She sleepily opened her eyes and discovered that Sasuke and Tsunade were having a taijutsu duel early in the morning. This was truly embarrassing for Shizune. After seeing Shizune wake up, Sasuke realized that Shizune's taijutsu skills needed improvement.
At first, Shizune wanted to be reserved. After all, girls tend to feel a little embarrassed, but in the end, she realized she really needed to improve her taijutsu skills. After the three of them finished their taijutsu training, several hours had passed.
If it weren't for Shizune's lack of foundation, with Sasuke's current strength, how could it have lasted for such a short time?
"You two are too much," Tsunade scolded, looking shy. Although this was her first time doing this kind of thing, as a senior medical ninja, she still had some knowledge about it. How could a normal person's taijutsu training last for such a long time? Sasuke was just too inhuman!
"That's right, I just woke up and you dragged me into taijutsu training together. It really exhausted me," Shizune complained as well. Who could understand her pain? Who wakes up and has to undergo such high-intensity taijutsu training right away? This was simply not treating people as human beings!
"Well, how about I just train taijutsu for one night next time?" Sasuke said mischievously as he examined Tsunade with his hand.
All I can say is: I can't hold it! I can't hold it at all! This is simply a gift from God! Seeing that Sasuke was being mischievous again, Tsunade shyly pushed away Sasuke's hand. "Stop it!"
Sasuke's hands were too magical. So, she had to stop him quickly. After that, Sasuke and the others stayed up there for a while before they walked down together.
After a simple lunch, the three of them were ready to return to Konoha.
On the way, Sasuke seriously revealed to Tsunade that he hoped she could become the Fifth Hokage. Although Tsunade didn't particularly care about being Hokage, she still curiously asked Sasuke why he recommended her instead of seeking the position himself.
Hearing this question, Sasuke slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mischievous smile. He jokingly replied, "Because my wish is to become the Hokage's husband. If you have something to do, be Hokage; if you have nothing to do, be Hokage's husband!"
When Tsunade heard this, she was left speechless. She never expected that Sasuke would recommend her for such a reason. However, Sasuke then added, "Of course, that was just a joke."
"In fact, as descendants of the Uchiha and Senju clans, we have the responsibility to take Konoha into our own hands."
Sasuke's expression became serious as he continued to explain, "After all, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have suffered too much misfortune."
"These lessons from history are still fresh today. We must ensure that similar tragedies never happen again."
These words expressed Sasuke's true thoughts deep in his heart. He knew very well that only by completely controlling Konoha could he avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and protect everything he held dear. He hoped to create a safer and more stable future for himself and his loved ones through his own efforts.
Then, Sasuke and the others walked to a small restaurant and sat down. But as soon as they sat down, they heard something that caught their attention.
"Itachi-san, that man also has the Uchiha symbol on his back. Could he be your brother?" Kisame's teasing voice came from behind Sasuke. At this time, Kisame still didn't know what would happen to him because of his big mouth—he would suffer the most tragic battle yet.
Uchiha Itachi, standing beside Kisame, looked at Sasuke's back and immediately recognized him. Although he didn't know why Sasuke had grown so much, it didn't stop him from recognizing his brother.
