After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

After parting with Jiraiya, Yuhi Shinku and the others, Yusuke thought for a moment, and went straight to the Hokage Building while Tsunade had not returned yet.

Not long after, Yusuke arrived at the door of Sarutobi Hiruzen's office with ease. He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

Knock, knock, knock! Three crisp knocks on the door sounded.

"Who is it?" A pleasant and soft voice came from inside the house.

Then, Nara Haruna slowly opened the office door from the inside. When Nara Haruna saw Yusuke, her expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a surprised smile bloomed on her face. She couldn't help but take a step forward and hugged Yusuke tightly.

"Wow, Yusuke, you're finally back!!" Nara Haruna said excitedly.

"Well, I'm back, Haruna-san!"

Yusuke, who was suddenly hugged by Nara Haruna, was a little at a loss for a moment. He didn't know where to put his hands. He could only stand there, not daring to move.

After just a few seconds, Nara Haruna, who had successfully taken advantage of Yusuke, finally let go of him. She looked at Yusuke with a smile, her eyes full of joy.

"Sister Haruna, where is my teacher?" Yusuke looked at Nara Haruna and said softly.

When Yusuke saw Nara Haruna's appearance, he didn't say anything that might cause misunderstanding, but cleverly changed the subject and asked about Sarutobi Hiruzen's whereabouts.

"Oh, Lord Hokage has gone out for a while, but Yusuke, even if it's you, you still have to wait." Nara Haruna heard Yusuke's question and said as she stepped aside to let Yusuke in. She pointed to the sofa inside and said, "Come in and sit down first."

Yusuke nodded and walked sideways past Nara Haruna into the office. He looked around and found that as usual, whenever Nara Haruna was there, Sarutobi Hiruzen's office was always clean and even the air felt particularly refreshing.

"Sister Haruna, how have you been lately?" After sitting down, Yusuke looked at Nara Haruna who started to get busy, and started the conversation with a smile.

"It's not peaceful lately..." Nara Haruna muttered softly, then looked at Yusuke and said, "Yusuke, you have to go to the Nara clan when you have time. Shikaku has already become a jonin, and you, as a teacher, have just returned."

"I really have no choice." Yujie touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and then said, "Besides, even if they don't know my specific situation, don't you know it?"

"What's your situation? Should I know?" Nara Haruna rolled her eyes at Yusuke, then placed the brewed tea in front of Yusuke and said, "Have a cup of tea."

"Thank you!" Yusuke responded.

"Whatever you want to know, someone will tell you naturally. Besides, I am the secretary of the Hokage. It is better not to ask about things that you should not ask."

After Nara Haruna finished speaking, she drank a cup of tea and suddenly looked at Yusuke with a strange expression, "No, Yusuke, you have been in the Land of Water for too long. No one has taken care of you for such a long time. Are you talking without knowing the situation now?"

After saying that, Nara Haruna quickly looked around.

"It's okay, Sister Haruna, I have blocked the space here." Yusuke took a sip of tea from time to time and spoke calmly.

"Space? So, your space-time ninjutsu was successful?" Nara Haruna looked at Yusuke in disbelief.

Just as she was about to continue speaking, Yusuke popped out a thread and sealed her mouth. Then Yusuke stood up, watched the door slowly open, and said, "Teacher."

After seeing the person coming, Yusuke said respectfully.

"Yusuke is here." Sarutobi Hiruzen, who already had a lot of white hair, walked over with a smile on his face, grabbed Yusuke's hand, and kept looking at him.

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for more than two years. How's your hair?" When he stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and saw his face suddenly full of wrinkles, and strands of white hair mixed in his originally black hair, Yusuke's heart was filled with shock and sadness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's body shook. Nara Haruna thought Sarutobi Hiruzen was going to get furious, but unexpectedly he just sighed.

"Haruna, go down." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Haruna and said softly.

"Yes, Hokage." Nara Haruna bowed quickly and walked away from the master and disciple at a brisk pace.

Yusuke looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen quietly, and saw that his eyes had become dull and lifeless, and the sharpness and determination he once had had had long since disappeared. His body seemed to be crushed by the years in an instant, and he was hunched over, staggering, and no longer had the spirit of the past.

"Yusuke, thank you for your hard work over the past few years." Sarutobi Hiruzen did not continue to dwell on the issue of hair, but instead gently comforted Yusuke.

"It's nothing, teacher." Yusuke followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's topic, then slowly sat down and chatted with him about daily trivialities. At this moment, there seemed to be no barriers between the two of them, and they still communicated naturally as before, and those unpleasant things seemed to have been left behind.

"Yusuke, was your Flying Thunder God Technique successful?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Yusuke with curiosity in his eyes.

"It's a success, isn't it?" Yusuke said gratefully, "I have to thank the teacher for his training."

"It actually worked?" Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly with excitement. You know, he is proficient in tens of thousands of ninjutsu, but he has never been able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, which has always been a regret in his heart. So, when he heard Yusuke say that the Flying Thunder God Technique was successful, you can imagine how excited he was.

"So, how strong are you now?" After the excitement, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his 24-year-old disciple and asked impatiently.

"Well, teacher, I plan to challenge for the position of the Fourth Hokage next. If you think I am not suitable, you must tell me as soon as possible." Yusuke stood up and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen solemnly.

"Yusuke, you are still young. Of course, the teacher hopes that you will succeed the Fourth Hokage. However, you must understand that the Hokage is not just a person with great strength. He must also have prestige and know how to manage the relationship between the families and civilians within the village, and how to properly establish friendly and peaceful relations with other villages."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke earnestly, and Yusuke had already prepared himself mentally. It can be said that there were no surprises, but there was definitely no disappointment.

"I understand, teacher. From now on, I will study hard beside you and try to take over this important responsibility as soon as possible."

After Yusuke finished speaking, he quickly patted his thigh and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Teacher, I have to go pick up Tsunade after get off work. You know her bad temper..."

Before he finished his words, Yusuke activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
