Time passed in the interactions between Sasuke and the girls, and several days went by unnoticed.
Tsunade finally had her succession ceremony as the Fifth Hokage. On this day, the entire Konoha Village was filled with a festive and lively atmosphere, as if the gloom from the Chunin Exams had been swept away.
The villagers and ninjas of Konoha gathered together to witness this significant moment. They looked to their new leader to guide them to a brighter future.
When Tsunade appeared in front of everyone, wearing the Hokage hat that symbolized her new status, her strong and heroic presence immediately captivated everyone's attention.
Sasuke stood among the crowd, his heart swelling with pride. He thought to himself, "Sure enough, Tsunade is even more attractive now that she's Hokage. I've decided that all the Kages in the five great ninja villages must become my women! Then, a special 'Five Kage Summit' will be quite entertaining!"
At this moment, Tsunade was unaware of Sasuke's inner thoughts. She was focused on making her declaration to the crowd.
"Everyone, from today onwards, I will shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village. I will inherit the will of the First Hokage and do my utmost to protect our village and make it more prosperous!" Tsunade declared passionately.
As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers in the audience erupted in excitement, cheering her on.
"Long live Tsunade-sama!"
"We believe in you, Tsunade-sama!"
These voices combined into a powerful force, expressing the villagers' trust and support for Tsunade.
At that moment, Tsunade felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders, but she was also filled with confidence and determination. She knew that to live up to everyone's expectations, she had to give it her all and work hard to fulfill her promises.
After Tsunade's succession ceremony was over, she asked Sasuke to stay behind. Only Tsunade and Sasuke remained in the Hokage's office, with Shizune guarding the door to prevent any interruptions.
Sasuke looked around the drastically changed Hokage's office and sighed, "I didn't expect this place to look so different in just a few days."
The current Hokage's office looked more modern, a stark contrast to how it was during Hiruzen Sarutobi's time.
"Of course! Did you forget who I am? I'm the Hokage of Konoha Village. How could I settle for anything less?" Tsunade said proudly.
Seeing this, Sasuke walked forward and placed his hand on Tsunade's chest, asking with a teasing tone, "Really? Then, my dear Hokage-sama, what do you plan to do with me now that we're alone?"
Tsunade lifted Sasuke's chin with her index finger and replied, "Of course, I want to test your abilities."
Sasuke smiled softly, gently holding Tsunade's fingers. "Oh? And how does my beloved Hokage-sama plan to test me?"
His eyes lingered on Tsunade, filled with both imitation and expectation.
Tsunade chuckled, releasing Sasuke's chin. She walked to the side, sat down, crossed her legs, and said with a smirk, "It's simple. I want to see if your strength has improved."
She narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly deep in thought.
Sasuke nodded, a flash of confidence in his eyes. He stepped forward and embraced Tsunade, a powerful surge of chakra emanating from his body. Blue-white lightning crackled around him, illuminating Tsunade's face.
Seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Tsunade's face. She removed Sasuke's pants and praised, "Not bad. It seems you haven't wasted your time practicing. But this is still not enough!"
With that, Tsunade suddenly attacked Sasuke, catching him off guard.
Tsunade's skills had indeed improved. She was once a novice, but after training with Sasuke these past days, her level had increased by leaps and bounds. However, Sasuke was not so easily subdued.
He immediately activated his lightning-based jutsu, sending a jolt through Tsunade that left her feeling numb. This strange sensation surprised Tsunade; she had never felt anything like it before.
"Not bad, Sasuke! But how will you block my next move?" Tsunade asked confidently before launching into a dual-footed version of her signature attack, Heavenly Foot of Pain.
Sasuke noticed that Tsunade was wearing black stockings today, which excited him.
"Tsunade, how did you know I like black stockings?" Sasuke asked, confused. He couldn't recall ever mentioning this preference to Tsunade.
Tsunade snorted playfully, "You have so many stockings at home. If I couldn't guess that, how could I be Hokage?"
With that, Tsunade continued to unleash her Heavenly Foot of Pain.
"Hehe, it seems we really can't underestimate our great Hokage," Sasuke teased, smiling. He knew Tsunade's strength, but he wasn't afraid of a challenge.
Sasuke decided it was time to move to the next phase of their "battle." He lifted Tsunade and began training with weighted exercises. Although Tsunade didn't look heavy, her immense talent contributed to a slightly greater weight than usual. But for Sasuke, this was no problem.
As Sasuke took the lead, Tsunade began to feel the increasing pressure and started to falter. Sasuke continued their intense training in the Hokage's office, and as he exerted more effort, the balance of victory tipped in his favor. His eyes gleamed with confidence.
Outside the office, Shizune's face was flushed, her heartbeat racing. The "battle" between Tsunade-sama and Sasuke was so intense that it left her confused and at a loss. It was still daytime, and this was the Hokage's office!
However, a strange feeling stirred in her heart. She couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if she were in Tsunade's place... Shizune almost gave in to her urge to rush into the room and join them. But her sense of duty kept her rooted in place, resolute in her task.
Time passed, and Tsunade finally couldn't withstand Sasuke's relentless attack. She surrendered, ending their "training" with Sasuke as the victor.
Outside, Shizune breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that someone might suddenly interrupt them. Luckily, no one did, and everything ended smoothly.
At that moment, Sasuke's voice called out from inside.
"Shizune, come in!"
