The next morning, Shun entered the Military Police Force office, a hint of weariness on his face. He had expended a lot of energy last night comforting Yukari, so he was extremely tired now.
Looking at the mountain of documents, a wave of helplessness welled up in his heart. All these documents needed his attention, but he simply didn't have much energy to face them now.
He stood before his desk and formed a hand seal with one hand.
Shadow Clone Technique.
A puff of smoke suddenly rose, and when the smoke dispersed, another "Shun" appeared before the desk.
The Shadow Clone's expression was slightly indifferent, and he glanced at the mountain of documents with a blank face, seemingly a bit displeased with the heavy workload.
Shun said indifferently, "You handle these documents today."
The Shadow Clone's brow twitched slightly, revealing a hint of reluctance, and he complained, "My main body, I'm tired too."
Shun's lips curved into a bitter smile, and he said, "We are one, why quibble so much? Tonight will probably be a joint doubles match, I'm going to sleep for a bit, these documents are all yours."
With that, he ignored the Shadow Clone's reaction, collapsed onto the sofa like a pile of mud, and instantly fell into a dream.
...
In the afternoon, Hokage Office.
Minato stood before Tsunade, reporting the detailed process of the Rōran mission one by one.
"Anrokuzan has been eliminated, and the Ryumyaku has been resealed. However, Advisor Shun..."
Tsunade crossed her hands on the mahogany desk. "So, Shun not only completed the mission early, but also 'conveniently' took down Queen Sāra of Rōran?"
Minato chose the safest answer, "Yes, Tsunade-sama. Queen Sāra seems to be very dependent on Advisor Shun."
Tsunade suddenly stood up, and the solid wood chair scraped an ear-piercing sound across the floor.
Minato's adam's apple bobbed. He could smell a faint scent of alcohol in the air. It seemed Tsunade's mood wasn't very good.
Tsunade walked to the window and roared, suppressing her anger, "Get that bastard here, now!"
Minato seemed to smell gunpowder, quickly assented, then turned and left in a hurry.
Just like that, only Tsunade was left in the office.
...
Ten minutes later, Shun (Shadow Clone) stood in the Hokage Office, listening expressionlessly to Tsunade's scolding.
Tsunade's voice was deafening, and her fist slammed heavily on the table, making a loud "bang."
"You dared to interfere with an S-rank mission without authorization and developed an improper relationship with Queen Sāra of Rōran!"
Tsunade's anger grew more intense, and her fist slammed against the table again, this time with greater force, making the entire table shake.
Shun (Shadow Clone) calmly picked his ear. "Are you done?"
Tsunade was enraged by his attitude. She narrowed her eyes and roared, "What kind of attitude is that?!"
Shun (Shadow Clone) shrugged and walked over to comfort her, "I know you're angry, but my main body is sleeping. I'm just a Shadow Clone, scolding me is useless."
When Tsunade heard this, she was so angry she almost couldn't speak.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then lowered her voice and said, "Tell your main body to come to my house tonight."
Shun (Shadow Clone) nodded and replied, "I understand."
Then, Tsunade suddenly punched the Shadow Clone's lower body hard.
Bang!
The Shadow Clone vanished.
Shun's main body suddenly jumped up from the sofa.
"How terrifying. A nightmare, no, it was the Shadow Clone that got blown up."
...
Late at night, Senju clan's territory, Tsunade's residence.
Shun used the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared silently in Tsunade's bedroom. As soon as he landed, he was pressed against the wall by a huge force.
"You've got some nerve, daring to provoke even Queen Sara of Rōran?" Tsunade's long hair hung down, her eyes sparkling with dangerous light.
Shun's expression didn't change. "Are you jealous?"
Tsunade's breath carried the scent of sake. "I heard Queen Sara of Rōran is very cute?"
Shun's palm slid down the curve of her waist. "She's just a little girl who needs protection."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes dangerously, clenching her right fist. "It seems I've been too gentle with you lately. You're protecting a woman all the way to the bed."
Shun suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, then with a turn, he reversed their positions, pinning her beneath him.
"You're the one who told me to come."
Tsunade raised her eyebrows slightly, saying with a half-smile, "I called you here not to chat, but for you to get beaten."
Shun slowly lowered his head, approaching Tsunade's ear, and whispered, "Oh? Is that so? Then why are you dressed like this?"
Tsunade's ears instantly flushed crimson, and she tugged at the neckline of her nightgown somewhat unnaturally. The neckline of this silk nightgown was perfectly cut, subtly revealing her fair skin without being overly exposed. Although a bit shy at the moment, Tsunade's aura showed no signs of weakening.
"How I dress is my business, none of yours! You should first explain the Rōran matter to me."
Shun sighed helplessly, knowing Tsunade's temper. So, he simply recounted the events that transpired in Rōran from beginning to end.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes, silent for a moment, then asked, "So you now have three women?"
Shun nodded, answering briefly. "That's right."
Tsunade looked at him, a dangerous smile playing on her lips. "You are quite frank."
Shun met her gaze and said, "I never lie to you."
As the two exchanged deep gazes, the atmosphere began to turn a bit ambiguous.
Tsunade's hands gently hooked around Shun's neck.
She suddenly laughed, a hint of teasing in her voice. "Alright, Shun, your appetite isn't small."
Shun's eyes lit up slightly, and he picked Tsunade up.
Tsunade's finger traced his chin, challenging. "I just don't know if your stamina can keep up?"
Shun's lips curved into a triumphant arc, and he replied, "Then let's try."
