"?"
Aoba's head was full of question marks after hearing Tsunade's words.
"Sensei, are you playing some kind of roleplay or something?"
"What roleplay? Did you not understand what I just said?", Tsunade saw Aoba saying strange things and poked his chest with her toe again.
Aoba silently held it in his hand.
"Well, it also depends on whether Sensei is willing to reward me. Otherwise, I'll just have to force it."
"You brat!", Tsunade shook her foot and glared at him, "Behave yourself!"
Aoba stopped moving.
Tsunade also stopped moving, speaking lazily all over.
"I've always been someone who rewards and punishes clearly. As long as you perform well, of course there will be rewards."
"But if all the rewards are like just now, I won't be satisfied, you know."
'If it's like just now, that basically doesn't count as a reward.'
Tsunade frowned, saying discontentedly, "Brat, I told you, I gave you..."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
At this moment, knocking sounds suddenly rang out, interrupting her words.
Tsunade instinctively tried to pull her foot back.
But it was tightly held by Aoba.
"Brat, someone's coming!", Tsunade looked at Aoba with a puzzled expression.
Her body slightly tensed up.
If someone saw the two of them in this state, she didn't even dare to imagine what gossip would spread through the village tomorrow.
"Sensei, I'm not very satisfied with that compensation just now," Aoba showed an evil smile on his face.
"You!", Tsunade's expression slightly changed, "Brat, don't go too far."
She tried hard to shake her foot, but Aoba just wouldn't let go.
"As long as Sensei compensates me one more time, I'll let go," Aoba smiled wickedly.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
At this moment, the knocking outside clearly became more urgent.
"You!", Tsunade gritted her teeth slightly, seeing that Aoba had no intention of letting go.
She directly bit down fiercely on Aoba's lips.
"Hiss!", Aoba gasped on the spot.
"Still want more?"
"No... no more," Aoba let go of Tsunade's foot, covering his bleeding lips and looking at Tsunade with a wronged face.
Seeing his expression, Tsunade also looked a little helpless. She reached out to pinch Aoba's chin, making him lift his head.
Then pushed aside his hand that was covering his mouth, and used the Mystical Palm Technique to heal the wound on his lips.
However, a tooth mark was still left.
"Alright, that's a lesson for being disobedient," Tsunade threw Aoba aside, sat down in the Hokage seat, and shouted toward the door.
"Come in."
The person outside obviously paused for a moment, then opened the office door after a while.
"Tsunade-sama, since you're here, why didn't you... huh?", Shizune walked in from outside, and originally wanted to complain, but after seeing Tsunade's current outfit, her eyes widened.
"Why are you wearing..."
Tsunade's expression was calm, and she casually made something up, "I saw how much you all like to wear it, so I bought one to try it out."
"Really? But Tsunade-sama really looks great in it," Shizune complimented.
"Shizune-nee...", Thrown into the sofa corner by Tsunade, Aoba finally made a sound.
"Hm? Aoba?", Shizune was slightly stunned. Just now, her attention had been drawn by Tsunade's outfit, and she hadn't noticed him.
But soon her face showed a joyful expression, "Aoba, when did you come back?"
"Just got back not long ago," Aoba scratched his head with a smile.
"Just came back...", Shizune, who was just about to say something caring, suddenly froze with a stiff smile on her face.
'Which means, just now in the office, it was only Tsunade-sama and Aoba...'
'And also, Tsunade-sama's current clothes...'
Shizune seemed to have grasped a key point.
"Shizune-nee, what's wrong?", Aoba noticed that Shizune suddenly stopped talking and looked a bit puzzled.
"Uh...", Shizune looked a little awkward. She couldn't just outright say ["I suspect you and Tsunade-sama are having an affair."]
Her sharp eyes quickly noticed the tooth mark on Aoba's lips.
"Aoba, what happened to your mouth?"
Aoba instinctively touched it. Sitting in the Hokage seat, Tsunade lowered her head and pretended to read documents, her expression becoming a little unnatural.
"Um... it was Konan-nee who accidentally bit me," Aoba could only silently apologize to Konan in his heart.
"Konan?"
'Is it really Konan?'
Shizune walked toward Aoba, raised her hand, and gently rubbed his lips.
'This tooth mark... looks very fresh.'
"Shizune-nee... mm!", Aoba originally wanted to ask Shizune her intent, but was directly kissed by her.
And it was a rather passionate and fiery kiss.
'As expected, it is Tsunade-sama's taste again...'
Shizune blanked out for a moment, 'Why did I feel it was "again"?'
"?", Originally sitting with her head lowered, Tsunade raised her head upon hearing the noise.
Her gaze was full of surprise.
'When did Shizune become so bold?'
However, her expression quickly turned strange.
'This Shizune...'
'That spot was just bitten by me!'
And just when she was staring at the two, she unexpectedly made eye contact with Shizune.
Tsunade's expression froze instantly.
'Caught?'
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Tsunade coughed, immediately changing her expression.
"This is the Hokage's office, not a place for the two of you to flirt around!", Tsunade tried to put on an angry face.
Shizune also let go of Aoba.
She rubbed Aoba's lips again and said with a smile.
"Now the original tooth mark is gone."
Yes, because it was covered by hers.
"Shizune-nee..."
Aoba was about to say something, but was stopped by Shizune, "Aoba, you just got back today, go rest for a while."
"This...", Aoba tilted his head to look at Tsunade.
"No, today...", Tsunade was about to refuse on the spot. Shizune definitely noticed something. If this brat left, Shizune might directly confront her.
"Tsunade-sama!", But Shizune uncharacteristically directly interrupted her.
She looked at Tsunade with firm eyes, "Aoba must be very tired right now, let him rest today."
"...", Tsunade was speechless. Seeing Shizune's insistence, she thought, 'If not now, later's just the same.'
So she waved toward Aoba, "You go back first."
Receiving a response, Aoba immediately slipped out of the Hokage building.
He felt that Shizune might have already discovered the thing between him and Tsunade.
After Aoba left—
"Aoba is a very outstanding boy," Shizune suddenly spoke with her back turned to Tsunade.
"Shizune?"
"And he grew up with us. Like Tsunade-sama, he's one of the most important people to me."
"Shizune, I think you may have misunderstood something. I can explain."
Shizune turned around, looking firmly at Tsunade, "If it's Tsunade-sama... I will support you."
