"Sensei, what are you planning to do today?"
After finishing the dishes, Hanekawa came to the living room.
Tsunade was lounging on the sofa, looking quite lazy.
She was wearing loose pajamas, which faintly revealed her voluptuous figure.
Her long legs were stretched out straight, crossed on the coffee table.
Her fair soles were facing him, and her round toes were slightly trembling.
"I don't know."
Tsunade yawned and said.
She was quite idle now.
Because she no longer needed to teach students much.
Hanekawa had learned all her medical ninjutsu and could help her teach Rin Nohara and Kurenai Yuhi, making him a perfect tool.
Moreover, his teaching skills were not inferior to hers.
"If you have nothing to do, you could go work at the Konoha Hospital."
Hanekawa suggested.
"No!"
Tsunade said without hesitation.
"Sensei, you are a medical ninja after all."
Hanekawa couldn't help but tease.
"What did you say?"
Tsunade glared at him and said, "Students shouldn't meddle in their teacher's affairs!"
"Is that so?"
Hanekawa smiled and asked, "If I don't take care of you, what will you eat for your three meals a day?"
"Are you threatening me?"
Tsunade put her legs down, sat up straight, and asked with a serious expression.
"No."
Hanekawa's gaze shifted downward, and from top to bottom, he could see the fair, deep cleavage.
"Fine, I'll go!"
Tsunade's mouth twitched, and she said with a righteous tone.
Hanekawa was momentarily taken aback.
Her tone didn't sound like she was giving in at all.
"Let's go, Sensei."
Hanekawa extended his hand.
"I'll go change."
Tsunade grabbed his hand and stood up.
"I'll wait for you."
Hanekawa followed her to the room door.
Tsunade let go of him, entered the room, and closed the door behind her.
She let out a slow breath, walked to the wardrobe, and started changing.
The door opened again.
Hanekawa glanced at her; she looked no different from usual.
The pressure from her clothes seemed quite substantial.
The two arrived at Konoha Hospital.
"Lady Tsunade! Lord Hanekawa!"
The passing ninjas greeted them proactively.
"Is Rin at Konoha Hospital?"
Tsunade nodded in response and asked.
"Yes."
Hanekawa explained, "Rin is learning the Chakra Scalpel."
"She's making great progress."
Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "In a while, we can try teaching her the Yin Seal."
Hanekawa raised an eyebrow at this.
There was a gap between students.
Hanekawa was Tsunade's direct disciple.
Rin Nohara and Kurenai Yuhi were Tsunade's general students.
Their relationship was maintained solely by the tradition of Konoha's ninja teams.
But if Rin Nohara could learn the Yin Seal, her status would change.
"Alright."
Hanekawa nodded.
It would be good if she could learn, but he was worried she might not.
Still, it was worth a try.
Hanekawa had always hoped his two teammates would grow stronger.
Unfortunately, Kurenai Yuhi didn't have much talent.
Otherwise, Hanekawa would have wanted her to learn the Yin Seal too.
Just the permanent youth aspect alone was worth it.
"Lady Tsunade, long time no see."
When Yakushi Nono saw Tsunade, she was visibly surprised.
"Director."
Hanekawa said, giving Tsunade a look.
See, you haven't been here for so long, isn't it awkward being the director of Konoha Hospital?
"Mm."
Tsunade ignored Hanekawa and asked with a straight face, "Any surgeries?"
"There are quite a few surgeries. Let me check."
Yakushi Nono stood up, flipped through some documents on her desk, and said, "This patient needs an amputation."
"You're not holding back."
Tsunade couldn't help but smile.
Medical ninjutsu was miraculous, but it couldn't regenerate lost limbs.
In the original story, even the Fourth Raikage had no solution after losing an arm.
Amputation was undoubtedly one of the most difficult surgeries.
Hanekawa followed Tsunade to the operating room.
On the way, he glanced at the patient's records.
It was an Uchiha clan jonin.
His legs were blown off by explosive tags on the Kumogakure battlefield, and after emergency treatment, he was sent back to Konoha.
Hanekawa had read many reports from the Kumogakure battlefield.
To put it bluntly, the Uchiha clan had suffered heavy losses.
Tsunade was the lead surgeon for this operation, and Hanekawa served as her assistant for the first time in a while.
Three hours later, the surgery was over, and the two returned to the director's office specially assigned to Tsunade.
"Although his life was saved, losing both legs will undoubtedly greatly reduce his strength."
Tsunade sighed and said, "It will be very inconvenient for him to continue as a ninja."
Hanekawa suddenly thought of the White Zetsu.
It could repair the half-paralyzed Obito Uchiha, so naturally, it could repair legs or arms.
It seemed he needed to find a way to capture a few White Zetsu.
Their utility was just too great.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Hanekawa snapped out of his thoughts and walked to the office door.
He opened the door and was somewhat surprised.
"Lord Hanekawa."
Haru handed him a scroll and said, "This is intelligence from Iwagakure."
"Thank you."
Hanekawa took the scroll.
After Haru left, he opened the scroll.
Hanekawa couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
The two pieces of intelligence on the scroll both surprised him.
"Tired, Sensei?"
Hanekawa closed the scroll and looked at Tsunade, who was lying on the office chair.
"A little."
Tsunade said casually.
"Want me to give you a massage?"
Hanekawa blinked and asked.
"Where do you want to massage?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Let's start with the feet."
Hanekawa had a place in mind, but he didn't dare.
Tsunade stared at him for a few seconds, then took off her shoes and placed her bare feet on the desk.
So direct?
Hanekawa was actually a bit unused to it.
But since it had come to this, there was no reason to refuse.
Hanekawa stepped forward and took hold of her bare feet.
They were soft and delicate to the touch.
Especially the soles.
Tsunade's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously pursed her lips.
As Hanekawa massaged, she felt a tingling sensation spreading from her soles to her entire body.
"What did Haru tell you?"
Tsunade asked, trying to distract herself.
"Iwagakure has sent a ninja delegation."
Hanekawa massaged her feet and replied, "They want to negotiate with us to redeem the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Roshi."
"No wonder."
Tsunade understood why Iwagakure had agreed to a truce with Kumogakure.
Aside from heavy losses, they didn't want Konoha to turn its attention to them.
It seemed Iwagakure was planning to completely withdraw from this ninja war.
Tsunade suddenly let out a soft moan.
The strong pressure on her acupoints made her toes curl up.
Hanekawa couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
That soft moan was lazy yet seductive, and even her toes looked particularly cute.
Tsunade realized what had happened and felt a bit embarrassed.
She coughed and asked, "When will the Kirigakure ninja delegation arrive?"
"In two days."
Hanekawa paused and smiled, "If nothing unexpected happens, Kirigakure and Iwagakure's negotiations will coincide."
"It doesn't matter."
Tsunade said indifferently, "They are the ones seeking peace. The initiative is in our hands. We can negotiate whenever we want."
"Sensei, you are truly awe-inspiring."
Hanekawa praised.
"Flatterer."
Tsunade's lips curled up, "Do you believe I can kick you in the face?"
"Don't hit the face."
Hanekawa massaged her feet and said seriously, "You can choose another spot."
"Forget it, I'll let you off for now."
Tsunade closed her eyes and asked, "Any other intelligence?"
"Minato-senpai is returning to Konoha with the Iwagakure delegation."
Hanekawa looked at her tense instep and said, "Guy and Kakashi are also with them."
"Since Iwagakure is seeking peace, Minato doesn't need to stay in the Land of Grass anymore."
Tsunade smiled and said, "After being away for so long, Kushina will be very happy to see him."
"Mm."
Hanekawa nodded and asked, "Sensei, do you want a leg massage?"
"No."
Tsunade suppressed the strange sensation and said.
If a foot massage was already like this, she was worried a leg massage would make her lose control even more.
"Alright."
Hanekawa secretly felt it was a pity but continued massaging her soles and feet.
"When will Minato and the others arrive in Konoha?"
Tsunade asked, holding her forehead.
"Around noon."
Hanekawa thought for a moment and said, "I'll go meet them then."
"Remember to ask Iwagakure for a list of Konoha ninja prisoners."
Tsunade suddenly remembered something and said.
"You mean Obito?"
Hanekawa was slightly stunned and asked.
"Mm."
Tsunade looked at him and said, "He's Minato's student and your teammate. You should take it seriously."
Hanekawa felt both amused and touched.
Clearly, Tsunade thought he and Obito Uchiha had a good relationship, so she specifically reminded him.
But in reality, their relationship was such that they wanted to kill each other.
"I know."
Hanekawa paused and said, "And Minato-senpai must have already made that request."
"True."
Tsunade comforted him, "You don't need to worry too much."
"Mm."
Hanekawa responded casually.
Tsunade felt she had misunderstood.
This kid didn't seem to care much about Obito Uchiha.
But she didn't think too much about it.
After all, Obito Uchiha wasn't her student and was practically a stranger.
If it weren't for Hanekawa, Tsunade wouldn't even know of his existence.
"That's enough."
Half an hour later, Tsunade put her legs down and said, "Go meet Minato and the others."
"Mm."
Hanekawa withdrew his hands and said, "I'll take Rin with me."
Rin Nohara was assigned to Konoha Hospital by him and served as his assistant, usually resting in his office.
Hanekawa quickly arrived at the office.
He opened the door and glanced inside, raising an eyebrow.
Rin Nohara was asleep.
Her petite body was mostly curled up on the sofa, her legs in dark red knee-high socks crossed, her feet slightly suspended.
She looked exhausted, as if she had worked overtime last night.
As a medical ninja, getting up in the middle of the night for surgery was common.
After all, ninjas were on missions 24/7.
Hanekawa quietly walked up to her.
After a moment's thought, he extended his hand.
Pale green chakra flowed out, gradually covering her entire body.
Medical ninjutsu could relieve fatigue, but most wouldn't use it this way because it wasted chakra.
Hanekawa now had plenty of chakra, so wasting a bit didn't matter.
In her sleep, Rin Nohara vaguely felt a warm sensation spreading through her body.
Her body relaxed, and a comfortable expression appeared on her face, even her curled toes stretching out.
After an unknown amount of time, Rin Nohara realized something was wrong and quickly opened her eyes.
What greeted her was Hanekawa and the pale green chakra.
She immediately understood what had happened, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart.
"Thank you."
Rin Nohara quickly sat up and said.
She sat with her legs together, hands on her knees, in a very ladylike posture.
"It's nothing."
Hanekawa withdrew the chakra and asked, "Did you perform a surgery last night?"
"Mm."
Rin Nohara looked a bit embarrassed and said, "I performed one surgery last night and another this morning, so I fell asleep on the sofa."
"You've worked hard, Rin."
Hanekawa reached out and gently patted her head.
"It's... it's fine."
Rin Nohara's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head, letting him pat her.
She was very nervous, her hands subconsciously gripping the tops of her knee-high socks, leaving faint marks.
"Once you learn the Chakra Scalpel, I'll teach you the Yin Seal."
Hanekawa smiled and said.
"Really?"
Rin Nohara couldn't help but look up at him.
She knew the significance of the Yin Seal, so she couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Hanekawa's right hand moved down and pinched her cheeks twice.
"I... I'll work hard!"
Rin Nohara's face turned slightly red as she said.
Hanekawa's mouth twitched.
That sentence made it sound like they were involved in some shady deal.
But if the Yin Seal were offered as a reward, many would be willing.
"The Yin Seal is very difficult to learn. You need to be mentally prepared."
Hanekawa suddenly had an idea.
Could he create a simplified version of the Yin Seal?
Lowering the difficulty while retaining only the chakra regulation function for maintaining youth.
Although Hanekawa's intentions were obvious, no female ninja could resist eternal youth.
With his current enhancements in understanding, insight, and chakra nature manipulation, it might be possible.
"Mm!"
Rin Nohara said with a serious expression.
"Alright, let's go."
Hanekawa withdrew his hand and said, "Let's go meet Minato-senpai, Guy, and Kakashi."
"Are they back?"
Rin Nohara's face lit up with joy.
"They'll be at Konoha's gates soon."
Hanekawa nodded and said.
"Let's go now!"
Rin Nohara bent down and quickly put on her shoes.
The two left Konoha Hospital and headed to the village gates.
After a few minutes, a group of people slowly appeared.
Besides Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, and Might Guy, the rest were Iwagakure ninjas.
Hanekawa glanced over; there were twelve in total.
The leader was someone he had met before, Ōnoki's son, Kitsuchi.
Sending such an important ninja as an envoy showed both respect for Konoha and the importance of the Four-Tails Jinchūriki.
"Hanekawa! Rin!"
Might Guy saw them from afar and excitedly waved.
Kakashi Hatake's expression didn't change much, but he felt a long-lost sense of joy inside.
