Kawaki and Sakumo were on edge.
They barely endured until dinner time before both bolting like rabbits.
"This time you're just lucky."
Sakumo shamelessly shot a threat at Kawaki.
"Haha～ I'm dying laughing," Kawaki replied with disdain. Who do you think got out of trouble this time anyway?
Luckily, they both sensed someone watching them, so they held themselves back quite a bit.
Otherwise, the place would've erupted into chaos again.
After dinner, Mito spent a little more time with Ginji before finally getting up to leave.
"I'll hop in the shower first. You watch over Ginji."
Tsunade handed Ginji to Kawaki and went to the bathroom with clean clothes.
"Alright, go ahead."
Kawaki no longer wanted to shower with Tsunade.
After so long living alone, he had nearly gotten used to it.
He only changed his underwear once in a while.
At first, he felt a bit awkward about it, but later, Tsunade simply watched him with a smile.
So Kawaki eventually let things be.
As an old married couple, they knew each other inside out—they had nothing left to hide.
"He's sleeping pretty soundly."
Muttering slightly, Kawaki gently placed Ginji into the crib.
The child was still young, needing plenty of sleep every day.
Once crying started, it either meant hunger or a wet diaper.
Kawaki now had plenty of daddy experience, skillfully changing diapers like a pro.
Lying on the bed, he began spacing out again.
Inside the bathroom, Tsunade felt troubled.
Those herbal soups were shockingly effective.
She couldn't fully clean herself anymore.
If she kept drinking them, she feared she'd explode one day.
"Sigh～"
Tsunade sighed. Who truly understood a woman's plight?
Since proper cleaning proved impossible, she gave up and instead wiped her long, beautiful legs.
From bottom to top, she cleaned herself thoroughly.
She was absolutely certain—she had zero issues left tonight.
Tonight, she'd definitely have a wild session with Kawaki.
Even if he wanted to remain single, he'd have to ask her permission first.
Thinking how satisfying that would be, Tsunade could barely suppress the grin forming on her lips.
Turning off the shower and drying herself off,
Tsunade looked at her naked reflection in the mirror, even spinning around once.
"Perfect."
"This body still has plenty of charm left."
Giving herself a pep talk, Tsunade quickly put on her clothes.
Her figure hadn't been ruined by childbirth at all—in fact, she had become even more enchanting.
After giving herself one last admiring look, Tsunade reluctantly opened the bathroom door and stepped out.
"You go wash up. I'll feed Ginji."
Tsunade was uncomfortably full, so she needed to feed Ginji.
"Alright."
Kawaki got up from the bed, grabbing his clothes to wash up.
"Waaah～"
Ginji burst into tears as soon as he was woken up.
He was clearly not a morning baby.
"Son, hurry up and eat."
"After finishing, try sleeping early—and sleep sweetly."
Without hesitation, Tsunade pressed Ginji against her chest.
Within moments, her shirt front was already soaked.
Probably a little hungry, Ginji gradually stopped crying once he started nursing.
Only the sound of him swallowing remained in the room.
To balance it out, Tsunade switched sides.
She finally felt much better, more at ease.
Once Ginji was full, she started to soothe him to sleep.
Humming a lullaby, her voice was soft and sweet.
This was something Kawaki had never even dared imagine before.
Within just a few minutes, Ginji was already asleep.
Tsunade gently laid him back down and whispered,
"Sweet dreams, don't wake up in the night, my little treasure."
After finishing all that, she lay on the bed.
It had been a long time since she last shared such closeness with him. As she thought about it, a blush spread across her cheeks.
She shyly pulled the quilt over her head, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"What are you doing?"
Kawaki walked in and saw the quilt moving but couldn't see Tsunade's face.
"Huh? Nothing at all!!"
Tsunade suddenly flung off the quilt, her face already as red as an apple.
"You're not running a fever, are you?"
Kawaki exaggerated his concern and quickly placed his hand on Tsunade's forehead.
"It's so hot! How high is your temperature right now?"
"Just heal yourself quickly."
Kawaki sounded particularly innocent.
"Heal this!"
Tsunade slapped his hand away. What a clueless jerk!
Wasn't he the one who used to cling onto her desperately for kisses and hugs?
"What exactly is going on here?"
For once, Kawaki didn't get what was really happening.
It had been too long since their last fight—he almost forgot everything.
"Come here."
Tsunade didn't feel like arguing anymore. She reached out and pulled Kawaki onto the bed.
"This illness needs personal treatment from you."
Upon hearing these words, Kawaki instantly understood.
"Are you fully recovered already?"
Still slightly hesitant, he asked.
"What do you think?"
Tsunade shot him an annoyed look. After all, she was the most accomplished Medical Ninja in the entire Ninja World.
Her body was perfectly fine, thank you very much. But no—still expecting her to take initiative first.
"You, Hatake Kawaki, really thought you were some noble gentleman who could stay unaffected, huh?"
"Haha~ In that case, I won't hold back then."
Kawaki flashed a perverted smile and dived under the covers.
Clothes kept flying out one after another until soon they covered the floor.
"I can't drink anymore."
Under the quilt, Kawaki's whisper could be heard.
"No way, I'm still uncomfortable."
Tsunade firmly refused.
Helplessly, Kawaki could only continue.
Oh…!
Only after Tsunade no longer felt any swelling did Kawaki finally stop.
"Burp... I'm kinda stuffed."
Kawaki never dreamed he'd end up drinking until completely satisfied.
Even his burp smelled like milk.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Tsunade wrapped her arms around Kawaki's shoulders.
They moved closer together, their breaths quickening with every second.
Finally, their lips parted slowly.
"Not bad at all—I actually liked it."
Tsunade licked her lips. It was her first time tasting it, even if indirectly.
"I didn't say it tasted bad either."
Besides the first few days, Kawaki actually managed to accept it now.
As he spoke, Kawaki's hands kept moving without pause.
As Tsunade sharply inhaled from the sensations, everything felt just perfect.
"Still feels so snug."
Kawaki teased lightly.
"Go away."
If she hadn't already been filled with satisfaction, Tsunade would've punched him already.
"Heh~"
Kawaki smirked smugly, thinking to himself that Tsunade's self-healing ability was second to none.
...
Little Ginji slept peacefully, undisturbed by the commotion around him.
Who knows how much time passed, but eventually Kawaki and Tsunade both lay spread-eagle.
Their exhaustion was clearly visible.
Yet Kawaki still couldn't keep still.
"Not bad, the fever's gone down."
Proud of himself as her personal doctor, he reached out again to feel her forehead.
He'd nailed it—practically a divine technique.
"You looking for a punch?"
Tsunade pinched Kawaki's inner thigh.
How dare he mock her?
"It hurts! I'm sorry!"
Kawaki immediately gave in.
He brought this on himself with that smart mouth.
"Hmph~ Next time, watch your words."
Tsunade pinched him one more time before finally letting go.
"Ah~"
Kawaki rubbed the sore spot, wincing in pain.
"Go to sleep."
Tsunade rolled onto her side and pulled the blanket up properly. She was already completely satisfied.
"Alright."
Kawaki snuggled up behind her and held her close, ready for another night of peaceful sleep.
