301. Sharing Longing with Tsunade in the Office

There's no doubt that the S-rank talent trait "I Am Myth" has incredibly overpowered effects.

It must be said that it's worthy of Hanekawa's efforts over these past few months.

The only drawback is its limited range - it only takes effect within a three-meter radius.

But for Hanekawa, this flaw is negligible and far from fatal.

Because he possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique.

A three-meter diameter range paired with space-time ninjutsu or abilities makes him practically invincible.

After all, at his level, just the slightest opportunity in battle can lead to devastating results.

As the saying goes, "Ninja battles are battles of information."

Even beings as powerful as the Ōtsutsuki clan are no exception.

Simply knowing the abilities of their eyes means half the battle is already won.

___

"Is this the ninja world after a thousand years?" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya rarely felt curiosity, but now it stirred within her.

"Yes." Hanekawa snapped out of his thoughts and explained, "We're currently in the Land of Wind, one of the Five Great Nations."

"Where is the Land of Fire?" Kaguya nodded and asked again.

She had previously received information about the future ninja world from Hanekawa, so she knew of the Land of Fire.

Of course, the most important thing was that Hanekawa lived in Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Over there." Hanekawa raised his hand and pointed. "Keep going in that direction and you'll reach Konoha. It's my home... and from now on, yours too."

Kaguya froze slightly. To her, the word "home" was unfamiliar.

But... she reached out and took Hanekawa's hand.

A home had no meaning in itself. What mattered was who she would be with.

Hanekawa glanced at her and expanded his sensory perception. The surrounding situation was completely reflected in his mind.

Hanekawa raised an eyebrow in confusion. Because he couldn't detect Yuhi Kurenai's presence.

He had traveled back a thousand years to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's era, while Kurenai had traveled to the past and met his childhood self.

But Hanekawa remembered they had only spent a few days defeating Hundred Puppets and sealing the Dragon Vein.

Logically, Kurenai should have returned before him. After all, he had stayed in Kaguya's era for nearly half a year.

Hanekawa continued expanding his perception.

In an instant, it extended across the entire ninja world - from Konoha to Takigakure to Kirigakure.

Whether it was Tsunade, Konan, or Mei Terumī and others, nothing escaped his detection.

Yet Kurenai was nowhere to be found. The only explanation was that she hadn't returned to this world yet.

Hanekawa pondered.

When he sensed Kakuzu and Konan in Takigakure, he noticed their progress was about the same as before his time travel.

Was the flow of time different?

Or was it because he was in the past, making that time irrelevant to the future?

After all, whether he spent ten years or half a month in the past, it wouldn't affect the future.

Either possibility was good news.

Hanekawa had worried that his absence of several months might cause changes in Konoha.

Now that time remained unchanged, Konoha naturally maintained its original state.

He wouldn't even need to explain to Tsunade and Kurenai why he disappeared for months - in their perception, he'd been gone for less than a day.

Hanekawa looked up at the moon in the sky. Activating his Rinnegan, his vision crossed thousands of miles to reach the lunar palace he had built a thousand years ago.

Though to him, building that palace felt like just yesterday.

Hanekawa frowned. Tsukihime wasn't in the palace.

Just like in the movies, only Ōtsutsuki Toneri and that giant Tenseigan remained on the moon.

Hanekawa didn't care about this theoretical descendant of his, Ōtsutsuki Toneri.

If he acted like in the original story, he was destined to be beaten badly.

"Let's go to the Pure Land to see Tsukihime," Hanekawa said.

If Tsukihime wasn't in the moon palace, she must be in the Pure Land.

Since Kurenai hadn't returned yet, there was no point waiting here.

With his abilities, he'd sense her the moment she returned to this world.

Kaguya's eyes lit up at this suggestion.

First, she could see Tsukihime.

Second, after a thousand years of accumulation, the Pure Land must have boundless chakra.

"Yomotsu Hirasaka!" Kaguya directly activated her Rinne-Sharingan. A black portal appeared.

Hanekawa held Kaguya's hand as they stepped through. The next moment, he felt chakra so dense it was almost tangible.

Hanekawa instinctively looked around at the Pure Land. Countless souls lived orderly lives in this space.

"So much chakra," Kaguya licked her lips.

"You look like some evil villain right now," Hanekawa couldn't help but laugh.

"What's a villain?" Kaguya tilted her head, looking at him in confusion.

"A bad woman," Hanekawa reached out and pinched her cheek. "Are you one?"

"No," Kaguya paused, then said, "But I am your woman."

Hanekawa was momentarily stunned.

Feeling Kaguya's soft skin and hearing those words, she seemed as tempting as ice cream.

If not for the inappropriate time and place, he might have taken a bite.

Just then, an intangible chakra fluctuation appeared.

Following it was a woman who appeared to be in her twenties or thirties.

She froze when her gaze met Hanekawa and Kaguya's.

"Tsukihime," Hanekawa smiled warmly.

Though Tsukuyomi's appearance had matured, her chakra and Rinnegan remained unchanged, making her instantly recognizable.

"Dad! Mom!" Tsukihime rushed forward and embraced Kaguya.

Even after a thousand years, even having grown into the Sage of Six Paths, she couldn't suppress her excitement.

"You've worked hard, Tsukihime," Hanekawa reached out and patted her head.

"Dad, Mom, will you leave again after this return?" Tsukihime looked up, her voice trembling.

"No," Hanekawa promised. "Our family will never be separated again."

Tsukihime blinked, somewhat unbelieving.

"If you don't trust me, at least trust your mom," Hanekawa directly addressed her concerns.

"Yes," Kaguya said seriously. "We won't leave the ninja world again."

"That's wonderful!" Tsukihime immediately relaxed.

"What a good child," Hanekawa smiled.

"I'm not a child anymore!" Tsukihime held Kaguya's hand and huffed.

"My mistake," Hanekawa nodded. "You've indeed grown up quite a bit now."

"Let's walk and talk," Tsukihime said with a bright smile. "The Pure Land has changed greatly over this millennium."

"Yes," Hanekawa walked side by side with them into the Pure Land. Many souls were along the way, but they quickly made way upon seeing Tsukihime.

Clearly, as ruler of the Pure Land, she commanded great respect.

After several minutes of walking, the light suddenly dimmed. It was the Divine Tree in the Pure Land.

Hanekawa couldn't help but marvel.

This tree's size exceeded his expectations - towering into the clouds, nearly matching a true Divine Tree.

Hanekawa felt the Pure Land's current energy could likely produce one Divine Tree fruit, but three would be impossible.

Hanekawa fell into thought.

Where could he obtain enough energy?

His first thought was to search for new planets.

But the unknown meant danger.

Moreover, given the Ōtsutsuki clan's capabilities, nearby planets had likely already been conquered, their energy drained, leaving them dead.

If so, finding new planets would take considerable time.

Then Hanekawa had an idea.

The Divine Tree fruit Kaguya ate used Ōtsutsuki Isshiki as sacrifice, and only half his body at that.

Could sacrificing three Ōtsutsuki clan members yield three fruits?

He immediately thought of Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Kinshiki from the original story who pursued Kaguya.

Their chakra would surely satisfy the Divine Tree's needs.

The only trouble was their formidable power - possessing both Byakugan and Rinnegan, along with extraordinary abilities.

For example, Urashiki could freeze time. In the original story, he used a black box to imprison Toneri for ten thousand years.

Hanekawa suddenly made a sound of surprise. He remembered Urashiki traveled to the past using an artifact called "Kara."

That past coincided with Naruto Uzumaki's childhood, when Urashiki sought to steal the Nine-Tails.

If Urashiki time-traveled, Hanekawa could ambush and eliminate him.

Without Urashiki, Momoshiki and Kinshiki would be much less threatening.

But one problem remained: with Hanekawa and Kaguya present, would Urashiki still come?

After all, it was unknown whether Boruto Uzumaki even existed now.

Alternatively, there might be parallel ninja worlds. Perhaps some parallel version of Urashiki would cross into this one.

Whatever the case, Hanekawa hoped Urashiki would appear - that way he could obtain a Divine Tree fruit.

He'd need to closely monitor Naruto and Kushina Uzumaki, or more precisely, the Nine-Tails.

If Urashiki didn't appear, there was one last option: have Kaguya or someone posing as Isshiki contact the Ōtsutsuki clan.

"Dad, Mom, what do you think?" Tsukihime couldn't help curling her lips slightly, clearly wanting praise.

They had toured the Pure Land for half an hour.

"I'm very satisfied," Kaguya nodded slightly.

"Yes!" Tsukihime smiled.

Though Kaguya's expression remained unchanged, Tsukihime knew she never lied. If she said she was satisfied, she meant it.

"You've surpassed me," Hanekawa praised. "Even I would find it hard to do better."

"Then I want a reward!" Tsukihime said happily. "Cook for me every day from now on!"

"No problem," Hanekawa agreed immediately.

"Let's eat now!" Tsukihime couldn't help swallowing at the thought of Hanekawa's cooking.

She then pulled Kaguya toward her usual wooden residence.

Hanekawa examined it briefly. The architectural style was clearly Wood Style: Four Pillar House.

"Tsukihime," Hanekawa asked upon entering the living room, "why is your chakra halved?" He'd noticed her weakened state upon meeting.

"I used the other half to create Asura and Indra."


Tsukihime explained.

Hanekawa couldn't help but freeze.

He had thought Tsukihime would marry and have children like Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, but he never expected her to use Yin-Yang Release instead.

Was this influenced by him and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya?

When they created Tsukihime, they hadn’t hidden the truth from her, so she knew how she came into existence.

"Because I lost half of my chakra, I entered the Pure Land before my lifespan ran out," Tsukihime added.

In the Pure Land, her soul and life would be frozen, achieving a state akin to immortality.

Hanekawa raised his hand, pouring a massive amount of chakra into her body.

Tsukihime was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya hesitated for a few seconds before sending her own chakra toward her.

With the help of the two, Tsukihime quickly replenished the missing half of her chakra.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

Tsukihime bit her lip, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

But she was grown up now, so she didn’t cry.

"I’ll go cook," Hanekawa said, patting her head. "Later, tell us what’s happened in the shinobi world over the past thousand years."

He turned and walked toward the kitchen.

Half an hour later, the family of three sat around the dining table.

Since this was a long-awaited reunion, Hanekawa had prepared a full ten dishes.

As for whether they could finish it all—there was no need to worry.

If they really ate to their heart’s content, they could devour a tenth of a planet.

For them, eating wasn’t about sustenance—it was purely about enjoying the food.

"It took me about half a year to master Yin-Yang Release and divide the Divine Tree’s chakra into the Nine Tailed Beasts," Tsukihime said between bites.

"I’m curious how you distributed the Divine Tree’s chakra," Hanekawa said, placing a piece of fried shrimp on her plate with a smile. "Why does the Nine-Tails have so much more?"

"I wasn’t sure exactly how much chakra the Divine Tree had, so I started by distributing smaller amounts," Tsukihime admitted sheepishly.

"But by the end, there was still so much left that I just gave it all to the Nine-Tails."

"Why not redistribute it?" Hanekawa asked.

"Because the One-Tail through Eight-Tails had already been created. If I redistributed it, I’d have to kill them," Tsukihime paused, then added, "And the Nine-Tails was pretty cute."

Hanekawa couldn’t help but laugh.

In the original story, there had been scenes of the Nine Tailed Beasts as children.

As a small fox, the Nine-Tails was indeed quite adorable.

"But the Nine-Tails was too mischievous," Tsukihime grumbled. "When I taught them to read and use jutsu, the Nine-Tails was the worst learner."

"The Nine-Tails just had too much chakra," Hanekawa chuckled. "It probably thought learning jutsu was pointless."

"I told it it would regret it, and sure enough," Tsukihime said smugly. "Later, it got beaten up by Asura and Indra many times."

"Well, it was half of your chakra," Hanekawa praised. "You’re just too strong."

"Of course!"

Tsukihime's smile widened.

She didn’t care what others thought of her—except for Hanekawa and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

"But I never expected Asura and Indra’s chakra to be able to reincarnate," Tsukihime said, puzzled.

"That is rare," Hanekawa admitted.

In his past life, he’d always wondered: if Asura and Indra could reincarnate through their chakra, why couldn’t Ōtsutsuki Hamura?

"Because you’re still alive," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya said coolly.

"Me?"

Tsukihime blinked, then realization dawned on her face. "Oh, I see."

Asura and Indra were born from her chakra.

Since she hadn’t died, her chakra couldn’t die either.

Combined with Asura and Indra’s rivalry, their chakra kept reincarnating.

Hanekawa found this a little strange.

Tsukihime was still alive.

But in the original story, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo was also alive, wasn’t he?

Was that why he stayed in the Pure Land?

Hanekawa couldn’t figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

In any case, through twists and turns, history had returned to its original course.

"Tsukihime, now that your chakra is restored, you can leave the Pure Land," Hanekawa said, refocusing. "Do you want to come live with us in the shinobi world?"

"Yes!"

Tsukihime didn’t hesitate.

The only reason she’d moved to the Pure Land was because her lifespan was running out.

Compared to that, the shinobi world was far more fun.

"Alright," Hanekawa nodded. "We’ll head to Konoha soon."

"Mm."

Tsukihime suddenly looked guilty. "I didn’t manage the Shinobi Sect well… It ended up splitting into all these different villages."

"That’s not your fault," Hanekawa said dismissively. "People change. And you weren’t even in the shinobi world at the time."

"Then… should we rebuild the Shinobi Sect?"

Tsukihime's eyes sparkled with hope.

"We can," Hanekawa said, thinking of the S-rank title 'Ruler of the Shinobi World' he hadn’t obtained yet.

Since he planned to unify the shinobi world anyway, rebuilding the Shinobi Sect wasn’t a problem.

"Great!"

Tsukihime grinned.

For the past thousand years, she’d missed the days of the Shinobi Sect—carefree and full of joy.

"And we’ll retrieve the Tailed Beasts," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya added abruptly.

"I know," Hanekawa said, flicking her forehead lightly.

Even though Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was now obsessed with romance, chakra still ranked second in her heart.

But even if she hadn’t mentioned it, he would’ve done it anyway.

To unify the shinobi world, reclaiming the Tailed Beasts was necessary.

Only then could the Divine Tree return to its complete form and produce new Divine Tree fruit.

Fortunately, the Ōtsutsuki clan’s pursuers wouldn’t arrive for a long time.

Hanekawa had plenty of time to unify the shinobi world—and farm some titles along the way.

Like the S-rank title 'Hokage of Doujinshi' he’d been curious about for so long.

He really wanted to know what effect it had.

There were probably plenty of other new titles, too.

Since he’d have to face the Ōtsutsuki pursuers eventually, Hanekawa wanted to collect as many titles as possible.

"When are we going to Konoha?" Tsukihime asked eagerly after the meal.

"Right now," Hanekawa smiled. Then he added, "As the ruler of the Pure Land, do you need to make arrangements before leaving?"

"I’ll summon the Shinigami."

Tsukihime stood and walked to the door.

With a wave of her hand, a stream of chakra flew into the distance.

A moment later, a cold aura surged forth as the Shinigami appeared before her.

"I’ll be away for a while," Tsukihime instructed. "You’ll oversee the Pure Land in my absence. If anything happens, contact me immediately."

The Shinigami nodded quickly.

"Done!"

Tsukihime returned to the living room. "We can go now!"

"I’ll take us there."

Hanekawa stepped forward, grabbing both their wrists, and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

A massive amount of chakra was consumed as the three appeared in a courtyard in Konoha.

Hanekawa had previously stayed either at Yuhi Kurenai’s place or Tsunade’s, but neither would be suitable for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Tsukihime.

As the head of the ANBU, Hanekawa naturally had no shortage of residences.

This courtyard was ANBU property—typically reserved for the Hokage’s distinguished guests and rarely used.

"You’ll live here from now on," Hanekawa said, pushing the door open.

"Mm!"

Tsukihime looked around excitedly.

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya remained as indifferent as ever.

As long as she could be with Hanekawa at night, nothing else mattered.

"Tsukihime, didn’t you monitor the shinobi world while in the Pure Land?" Hanekawa suddenly asked, puzzled.

If she had, she should’ve noticed him before he traveled back to the ancient past.

"After losing half my chakra, I couldn’t monitor the entire shinobi world," Tsukihime shook her head. "I only occasionally checked on Asura and Indra’s reincarnations."

"No wonder."

After a moment’s thought, Hanekawa said, "In a couple of days, I’ll arrange positions for you both in Konoha."

It’d be boring for them to stay here doing nothing all day.

Besides, as a high-ranking Konoha official, he had work to do.

Might as well have all three of them working.

"Mm."

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya knew his status and wasn’t surprised.

Tsukihime didn’t know the details, but she trusted that Hanekawa could handle anything, so she didn’t ask.

In the end, both mother and daughter agreed.


Instead, Hanekawa found himself troubled about what kind of job to arrange for them.

He realized being the Hokage made things convenient.

Given his current situation, the only position he could offer was in the Anbu.

Hanekawa rubbed his chin.

He felt he needed to have a talk with Tsunade.

Not only to arrange roles for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Tsukihime, but also because once he became Hokage, the unification of the Shinobi world could be put on the agenda more effectively.

After all, Tsunade had long stopped wanting to be Hokage.

Hanekawa could let her retire early.

“Dad, I’ll take this room.”

Tsukihime pointed at the room on the left and said.

“Then your mom and I will take the room on the right,”

Hanekawa replied casually.

“Are we going shopping this afternoon?”

Tsukihime glanced at the room and asked, “I want to buy some daily necessities.”

“You and your mom go shopping. Take the chance to see what the Shinobi world looks like a thousand years later.”

Hanekawa said with a smile, “I’ll head to the Hokage building to prepare some identities for you two.”

“Alright.”

Tsukihime looked at Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

“Will you be back tonight?”

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya asked with a subtle expression.

“I will.”

Hanekawa looked at her indifferent expression and recalled her behavior the night before, causing his heart to stir slightly.

Cough cough.

He quickly pushed those images out of his mind.

“You two go shopping.”

Hanekawa focused his senses and picked up on Kurenai Yuhi's presence.

After greeting Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Tsukihime, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Land of Wind – Rōran

A spatial distortion occurred.

In the underground hall appeared the figure of Kurenai Yuhi.

She steadied herself and instinctively looked toward the sealed Dragon Vein.

Kurenai frowned, confusion showing on her face.

She only remembered coming to Rōran with Hanekawa to track down the Sand Village rogue ninja, Mukade, who was attempting to break the Dragon Vein seal.

But what was happening now?

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

“Kurenai, why are you standing there frozen?”

Hanekawa asked with a smile.

“Hanekawa?!”

Kurenai's face lit up with joy and she quickly ran over to him.

“How are you feeling?”

Hanekawa took her small hand and gently squeezed it twice.

“I’m fine.”

Kurenai shook her head and asked in confusion, “Where did you go? And what happened to Mukade?”

“You should see for yourself.”

Hanekawa raised his hand and tapped her forehead, releasing the memory seal.

Minato Namikaze had sealed her memory to avoid influencing the timeline with foreknowledge.

But since Kurenai was now in the future, knowing the past wouldn’t be a problem.

Kurenai's face turned dazed.

A flood of images surged into her mind.

“I actually traveled to the past? And saw the younger you?”

Kurenai snapped back to reality, her face full of disbelief.

“You even wanted to pat my head back then.”

Hanekawa said with a smile.

“I call that collecting interest.”

Kurenai snorted lightly.

“Oh? Then I’ll collect a little interest too.”

Hanekawa winked and gave her a light smack on the butt.

“You jerk!”

Kurenai trembled slightly and scolded him playfully.

“Will you let me touch you for the rest of my life?”

Hanekawa leaned close to her ear and whispered.

Kurenai felt his warm breath and, coupled with his words, her face turned red, her eyes shimmering with emotion.

She froze for two seconds before retreating like a startled bird.

“I… we should get going…”

Kurenai mumbled softly.

“Let’s go.”

Hanekawa smiled and didn’t tease her any further.

He reached out, took her wrist, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique again.

The surroundings changed—they were back home.

“Home really is the best.”

Kurenai stretched lazily as she sat on the sofa.

Although going on missions with Hanekawa was great, she really didn’t like deserts.

Hot, dry, and full of yellow sand.

Still, this mission had been interesting—a rare and unique experience.

Kurenai came back to her senses and noticed Hanekawa staring at her.

She bit her lip instinctively, feeling the heat of his gaze.

Moments later, she felt her body soften.

Hanekawa raised an eyebrow and walked up to her.

He placed his hand on her smooth, pale thigh.

“I’m going to see sensei and report the mission status.”

Hanekawa smiled, “Your legs are a bit soft.”

“Go now!”

Kurenai blushed deeply and clamped his hand with her legs.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Hanekawa withdrew his hand and headed to the Hokage office.

As he arrived, he saw Tsunade sleeping on the desk.

Her face was pressed against documents, breathing steadily, arms casually placed, and of course, her generous assets were being squashed against the edge of the desk.

Hanekawa smiled.

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was great, but in that particular area, Tsunade had her beat.

He didn’t disturb her and sat quietly on the sofa to wait.

He closed his eyes and began thinking about how to unify the Shinobi world.

With his power, he could probably pull it off in half a day.

But that would miss out on a lot of potential new perks.

Besides, there were complications.

Like Mei Terumi.

If Hanekawa launched a war against the Hidden Mist, his little maid would probably break ties with him.

Hanekawa stroked his chin.

He had a rough plan.

For the Hidden Cloud, he’d use internal means—basically, become the Fifth Raikage himself.

After all, he had an S-tier perk called “H-Book Raikage.”

For the Hidden Mist, he’d use non-violent methods.

He planned to approach it economically.

As for the Hidden Sand and Hidden Stone, those could be handled with direct force.

Or, he could let Kakuzu and Konan’s “Ten Thousand Suns Corporation” act to pressure them into initiating war.

Like targeting them through money and arms.


With this approach, Konoha’s counterattack would appear justified.

Hanekawa didn’t care too much himself, but Tsunade and the others likely wouldn’t want to be seen as aggressors.

In all previous ninja world wars, Konoha had always played the passive role.

“When did you get back?”
Tsunade opened her eyes and was surprised to see Hanekawa on the sofa.

“Just a short while ago.”
He walked over to her, his gaze inadvertently drifting downward.

“How’s the Dragon Vein?”
Tsunade noticed his eyes and smirked.

“It’s returned to normal.”

Hanekawa blinked. “Tired, sensei? Need a massage?”

“You come back just to take advantage of me?”
Tsunade snorted lightly.

“Well, since you said it that way, I can’t refuse now.”

Hanekawa picked her up and sat in the Hokage chair with her on his lap.

“Don’t you have help from Shikaku and the others? Why are you so tired you fell asleep?”
Hanekawa wrapped his arms around her waist, tempted by her softness.

“That’s because no matter how much or little work there is, being on the job is always tiring.”
Tsunade leaned into him, speaking confidently.

Hanekawa couldn’t help but laugh.

“What kind of logic is that?”

“Do you want to retire early?”
Hanekawa’s hands subtly eased the tension in her clothing.

“Huh?”

Tsunade let out a soft sound and asked, “Why would you say that?”

“Exactly what I said. If you don’t want to be Hokage anymore, then retire.”

“You’d take over?”
She caught her breath.

“I can.”

“Really?”
Tsunade sat up straight in surprise.

“Why would I lie? Do you really dislike being Hokage that much?”

“Not exactly,” Tsunade paused and smiled, “But if it’s you becoming Hokage, I can retire with peace of mind.”

“Alright.”

Hanekawa didn’t hold back. “I’ll have the Anbu begin preparations tomorrow.”

“Finally showing your teacher some care,” Tsunade smiled.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”
Hanekawa raised an eyebrow. “I haven’t been caring before?”

Tsunade’s eyes widened, and she shifted uncomfortably—only to realize something concerning.

“We should go back…”
A blush crept onto her face.

“Nope,” Hanekawa replied. “A Hokage must see things through to the end.”

Tsunade understood his real intent—he wanted to tease her here in the Hokage office.

As Hanekawa continued his flirtation, Tsunade found herself giving in, not resisting.


Eventually, she faced him directly, accepting the moment.

They shared an intimate experience in the office, and though she initially resisted, Tsunade let go—perhaps because it was her last day as Hokage.

Later, as night fell, she let out a long breath, feeling fulfilled.

On her final day in office, Tsunade had certainly made it unforgettable.

Looking at Hanekawa, she gave a soft hum and then smiled—her appearance mature, alluring, and undeniably radiant.
