[Early Morning]
"Mm~"
Still in his dream, Aoba only felt like there was something moving around in his mouth.
He opened his eyes in a daze.
And just happened to meet Shizune's slightly flushed face.
"Good morning, Shizune-nee."
Aoba instinctively wiped the corner of his mouth and found it slightly moist.
How could he not know what Shizune had just done?
"Good morning, Aoba."
Shizune also helped wipe a little and smiled as she said, "You get dressed first, then follow Lady Tsunade."
After speaking, she turned and left the bedroom.
Aoba yawned, and in just a few seconds, put on his clothes and walked to Tsunade's door to knock.
But after quite a while, there was still no response from inside.
He switched directly to pounding on the door.
"So noisy!"
Soon, the door opened.
Tsunade, wearing a spaghetti-strap nightdress, appeared.
Her eyes were still sleepy, and her golden hair was a mess.
"Brat, when did you come back here again?", Tsunade's mind instinctively blanked for a moment.
"Sensei, are you awake or not?", Aoba rolled his eyes.
Tsunade dazed out briefly, "Ah~ I remember now. I slept a bit late yesterday, and my head is still a little fuzzy."
"But this isn't a reason for you to disrespect your sensei!", After saying that, her expression changed, and she began rubbing Aoba's face.
"Sensei… it's time to eat."
"Wait!"
Tsunade let go of her hands, turned around, and "bang" shut the door.
By the time she came to the living room, she had already changed into her usual sleeveless top and three-quarter pants.
"You have to stay with me the whole day today."
Tsunade glared at Aoba, who was sitting to the side looking unusually well-behaved.
"Okay," Aoba nodded.
Not long after, Shizune walked out from the kitchen, still carrying breakfast in her hands.
"Aoba hasn't eaten my breakfast in a long time. Try it, see how it tastes?", Aoba took a big bite of noodles.
"Delicious!"
"That's good."
Watching Aoba gobble up the noodles, Shizune's eyes almost overflowed with happiness.
From time to time, she even poured him water and wiped his mouth.
Tsunade remained silent, just focused on eating, this was the first time she felt like an outsider in this house.
After breakfast.
As Shizune was cleaning up the dishes, she said, "Lady Tsunade, you and Aoba go ahead first, I'll come later."
Tsunade frowned, "If it's just cleaning up dishes, we can wait for you."
"No need, you two go ahead."
"Well then."
Seeing Shizune insist, though not knowing what she was up to, Tsunade still took Aoba and left first.
The two of them headed to the Hokage building.
———
Upon entering the Hokage office, Tsunade directly pushed him into the Hokage's seat.
Then casually explained a few workflow processes and immediately became a hands-off manager. Standing to the side, quietly watching.
Following Tsunade's instructions, Aoba sorted the documents on the desk.
Then began reading through them one by one.
Time passed.
"Not bad, I knew you had talent."
Seeing Aoba handle part of the affairs, Tsunade was very satisfied.
Then she lay down on the sofa to slack off.
Her high-heeled sandals were casually kicked to the floor. Her fair arms rested on the armrest, head leaning against it, and her legs draped over the other side, with her little feet gently swinging.
"Sensei, mind your image a little," Aoba openly admired her for a moment before reminding her.
If others saw this, he'd feel like he'd been short-changed.
"Just do your Hokage duties properly, don't mind me," Tsunade waved at him carelessly.
'If I really did do something to you, you wouldn't be so happy about it.'
Aoba pouted, and once again busied himself with the work in front of him.
If he got tired, he'd just look at Tsunade relaxing.
Male-female teamwork, lightens the labor.
Not long after, a knock on the door.
As the knock sounded, Tsunade had already quickly adjusted her posture.
That smooth, practiced movement clearly showed she was a long-time slacker.
"Come in!"
"Aoba?", Uchiha Mikoto walked in holding a file, looking slightly surprised.
"Sensei asked me to help her with some work."
Aoba glanced at Tsunade, who was clearly slacking off but pretended to be serious while reading documents, and helplessly replied.
Tsunade also nodded at Uchiha Mikoto, "If it's just some minor tasks, you can speak to him directly."
"I see, I understand."
Uchiha Mikoto nodded as well.
Although she was surprised, she wasn't too shocked.
Aoba was the Hokage's student.
Following Konoha's usual traditions, the next Hokage was probably going to be Aoba, there wasn't anyone more suitable than him in the village.
This was likely Tsunade's attempt to train Aoba's administrative ability early.
She genuinely felt happy for Aoba.
The child she watched grow up could now stand on his own.
"Aoba, do your best!", Uchiha Mikoto made a fist, smiling in encouragement.
"I'll still need Aunt Mikoto's help. After all, for the next few days, you'll be my secretary," Aoba winked at Uchiha Mikoto.
"Mm, if you need help with anything, just ask me," Uchiha Mikoto gladly replied, then handed over the file in her hands, "But first, please take a look at this document."
"Mm."
Aoba accepted it and began reading carefully.
Uchiha Mikoto stood to the side waiting.
Watching Aoba's serious expression, her lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.
Aoba working seriously was even more dazzling than usual.
Nearby, Tsunade, pretending to be working, let her gaze drift back and forth between Aoba and Uchiha Mikoto.
Her eyebrows slowly began to furrow.
'No way…'
'This brat and Sasuke are the same age.'
But then she thought about it, she herself was technically a generation older than Mikoto.
'This brat really dares to go for it.'
'Damn it!'
Tsunade couldn't help scratching her head.
Meanwhile, Aoba quickly finished dealing with the document Uchiha Mikoto had handed over.
"Aoba already has the style of a Hokage."
Uchiha Mikoto took back the document and couldn't help praising him again.
"Not at all…"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Aoba originally wanted to act humble, but was interrupted by the knock.
"Come in."
The office door opened, and Aoba's eyes widened.
Uchiha Mikoto and Tsunade were also stunned.
Standing at the door was Shizune, but her appearance was completely different from usual.
Unlike the usually conservative black yukata.
This time, Shizune wore what could only be called a "secretary outfit."
A tightly-fitted white blouse, coupled with a form-fitting black suit, added several degrees of curve to her figure.
Below the black pencil skirt, her long, beautiful legs were tightly wrapped in black pantyhose.
Black high heels also made Shizune's figure appear even taller.
She even wore a pair of intellectual-looking black-rimmed glasses.
