Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"Tell me, what happened today?"

Tsunade leaned lazily against the sofa, asking Shirakumo Aoba, who was massaging her shoulders, a question.

Baiyun Qingye smiled and asked, "How did you know I had something to do, teacher?"

"Hmph! If there was nothing wrong, would you, this rebellious disciple, be so attentive?" Tsunade snorted in dissatisfaction.

Bai Yunqingye's expression turned serious. "Teacher, what are you saying? It is a disciple's duty to be filial to his teacher."

Tsunade rolled her eyes. "Hurry up and say it while I'm in a good mood. I might agree now, or I'll miss my chance."

Baiyun Qingye didn't delay and asked, "Does the teacher know about the Kurama clan?"

"The Kurama clan?" Tsunade thought for a moment, then recalled, "I remember they were a genjutsu clan. When they first joined Konoha, they were a large clan, but I haven't heard much about them since."

"Hmm." Baiyun Qingye nodded. "Because the bloodline inheritance of the Kurama clan is extremely difficult. Without the advantage of bloodline inheritance, the Kurama clan has not even produced a single Jonin to this day."

"In this generation, someone finally managed to awaken their bloodline limit, but unfortunately, this person who awakened their bloodline also developed health problems."

"Is there a problem with your body? Is it a bloodline disease?" Tsunade asked.

Shirokumo Aoba nodded again, "Based on my examination, it should be a bloodline disease."

"Hmm~ According to your examination?" A playful look appeared in Tsunade's eyes.

"So you can't solve it yourself, so you want me to take a look?"

Shirakumo Aoba wasn't embarrassed at all and readily admitted, "That's true, and they are willing to pay the full medical expenses."

Tsunade's eyes lit up immediately when she heard the word "fees," as she was currently a little short on money.

Although she had just received a large sum of money from the Hyuga clan a few months ago, gambling is something that, once you get involved, means that no amount of money is more than just a number.

However, she did not immediately agree, but said in a playful tone.

"Could this genius from the Kurama clan who awakened his bloodline be a girl?"

“Uh…yes.” Shirokumo Aoba was unaware of Tsunade’s intentions.

Tsunade's mocking expression deepened. "Then let me guess again, is this girl the daughter of the Kurama clan chief?"

"……Yes."

"Heh." Tsunade's lips curled into a smile as she chuckled. "I've discovered that you're playing a very grand game, kid!"

"Huh?" Bai Yunqingye was a little confused. What kind of chess game did he play?

"Tell me quickly, are you trying to seduce the young lady of a ninja clan and then secretly take control of Konoha?" Tsunade said with an expression that said, "I've already seen through you."

"Ah, this..."

Shirokumo Aoba was both amused and exasperated by Tsunade's wild imagination, and said irritably, "Then I'd rather unify the ninja world by seducing geniuses from other ninja villages!"

"You actually have such lofty ambitions?" Tsunade's eyes widened, and after her initial surprise, she began to think about it seriously.

"But it's not impossible, if you really have that much charm..."

"I remember Rasa has a daughter named Temari, who's a little older than you. Onoki has a granddaughter who's about the same age. It's just that Kumogakure and Kirigakure are a bit troublesome. The Raikage doesn't seem to have a wife. I don't have much information about Kirigakure, but..."

"Stop! Stop!"

Shirokumo Aoba snapped out of her daze and quickly interrupted Tsunade, "You're already analyzing this for me?"

"I was just saying it casually, I didn't really mean it."

"Really? I think this plan is quite feasible." Tsunade said with a regretful expression.

"If you really unify the five great ninja villages, I, as your teacher, might even benefit from your success."

Bai Yunqingye didn't want to continue this topic; he was practically a master of time management now.

"Teacher, would you like to help take a look?"

"Of course we should make money. Let them come and see me when they have time. But there are all sorts of bloodline diseases. If I can cure it, I will. If I can't, there's nothing I can do."

Tsunade didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll talk to them about it tomorrow."

……

dinner.

On the table.

Silently, she shared the gossip she had overheard at the hospital.

"I heard there will be a festival during the Chinese New Year this year."

"Festival?"

Tsunade and Shirakumo Aoba both stopped eating.

"Why are we suddenly having a festival this year?" Tsunade asked, puzzled. They'd never done one before.

Shizune explained, "It is said that the Third Hokage wanted everyone to celebrate together happily and celebrate the New Year in order to commemorate the hard-won peace. The location is the Hokage Rock."

"That's quite novel," Tsunade muttered. She wasn't very interested in it and continued eating.

Shizune was quite enthusiastic. "Lady Tsunade, let's go together, the three of us. I've never been to a festival before. I heard there's a big fireworks show during New Year's Eve."

In the past, when she and Tsunade were wandering the ninja world, they encountered several festivals, but each time it was either at a casino or on their way to another casino while escaping debts.

They went hungry for three days and nine meals a day, so they had neither the opportunity nor the money to go to the festival.

Now that she finally has the chance, she definitely wants to go and see it.

"It's just a festival, what's so great about going?"

Tsunade looked completely unconcerned. "Instead of wasting time on this, I'd rather... uh!"

The words she was about to say stuck in her throat.

Shizune stared at her expressionlessly, as if she would perish together if she didn't agree.

After hesitating, she realized that Jingyin had indeed suffered a lot over the years by following her, so she finally nodded.

"Then go and have a look."

"Great!"

Jingyin performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act, immediately revealing a happy expression, and then looked at Baiyun Qingye.

"Aoba, what about you?"

Before Shirokumo Aoba could answer, Tsunade spoke up for him, "If there really is a festival, that brat will definitely go with those little girls."

You really are like a tapeworm in my stomach.

Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but mutter a complaint in her mind.

"It's okay. You can come find us after you and Sakura are done shopping, Aoba. We can watch the fireworks together then."

"Okay!" Bai Yunqingye nodded in agreement without hesitation.

-

the next day.

In the noisy classroom.

"Hmm? Why do you all have such bad dark circles under your eyes?" Bai Yun Qingye looked curiously at the four girls' dark circles.

While yawning and rolling her eyes, Tian Tian said, "Isn't this all your fault?"

"Because of me?" Bai Yunqingye was taken aback.

“That’s right, it’s all because of you.” Ino sat on the other side, tilting her head and resting it on Shirakumo Aoba’s shoulder.

He looked drowsy.

Sakura and Hinata nodded at the same time.

Those around them stared wide-eyed.

Baiyun Qingye thought about it carefully for a while, as if she understood something.
