"Come to the lab with me tomorrow."
Tsunade said it casually, but Kawaki immediately understood what she meant.
"You've already set a time, huh?"
"Then prepare some milk for Ginji. Grandma will take care of him tomorrow."
Kawaki didn't mention the experiment at all—it wasn't more important than Ginji's meals.
Anyway, he'd be there the entire time tomorrow, just like Tsunade had stayed by his side back then.
"Mm, go find something to put it in."
"Take good care of our son for now."
Tsunade looked at Ginji, who was closing his eyes and enjoying himself, and smiled slightly.
"Got it."
Kawaki stood up to look for a storage vessel.
"And get a big one. Ginji can drink a lot."
Tsunade couldn't help but add—That stinker Ginji really has quite an appetite these days.
Now she didn't need Kawaki's help as much anymore.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Kawaki didn't even stop walking—he knew his own son well enough.
Once the flurry passed, Kawaki almost started squeezing things to make space.
He calmed down only after Tsunade gave him a few pats.
After getting the food ready, the two carried Ginji to the dining room.
Mito eating here had become routine.
"Grandma, I've got something to do tomorrow."
"I'll leave Ginji with you for the day."
Kawaki brought it up casually to Mito while eating.
"You focus on your stuff."
"What's the big deal?"
Mito happily agreed—she felt like she hadn't held him nearly enough.
"Grandma, we stored Ginji's rations in the kitchen."
"When he gets hungry, just pour a bit for him."
Tsunade added smoothly as well.
"Alright, alright, I know already."
Mito answered impatiently, thinking these two were getting kind of annoying.
Kawaki and Tsunade didn't dare give more instructions—they were afraid of getting scolded otherwise.
After dinner, Mito took Ginji straight away.
Kakashi also went off to play with Minato and the others.
Soon, the dining room was left empty except for the two pairs of spouses.
"So you're proceeding with The Fusion Process tomorrow?"
Sakumo glanced at Tsunade. He had always known about this experiment.
In fact, it was him who arranged the delivery of live test subjects for this round.
To him—an amateur in this matter—the time interval between experiments seemed quite short.
Shouldn't something like this take at least several months?
"Yeah, the experimental results are in."
"It should be fine. I trust Orochimaru's techniques."
Tsunade not only trusted Orochimaru but also her own strength.
This success was thanks to both her and Orochimaru.
"Isn't it a bit rushed?"
Natsuki caught what Sakumo meant. Since he felt awkward asking, she'd ask instead.
"Big bro, sis-in-law, you should trust the professionals' judgment."
"At the time, I don't recall you being this worried before."
Kawaki tried to shift their attention elsewhere, but he got an unexpected reaction.
"You actually dare say that? I wouldn't even know if it weren't for seeing that giant wooden Buddha!"
"How could you pull something like that as my younger brother?"
"If anything happened to you, how could I face Mom and Dad in the next life?"
Kawaki would've been better off staying quiet—Sakumo flew into a rage the moment he brought it up.
All others saw was Kawaki's strength after the experiment succeeded.
Yet as he reflected on it, a lingering unease crept in.
That was his only blood-related younger brother!!
"Big bro, I messed up last time."
"But precisely because my own case succeeded, this time's plan is definitely foolproof."
Kawaki took the initiative to admit his mistake—his reasoning in the second sentence also sounded pretty solid.
Of course, there was a hint of reassurance mixed in.
