Kairen grinned playfully and rubbed Tsunade's shoulder with his chin:
"Tsunade, aren't you already a full course meal?!"
Kairen's words reflected yesterday night's absurdity, and a hint of shyness rose on Tsunade's face. A poem formed in her heart.
She turned around and pushed Kairen away with one hand:
"You're so indecent!"
"I'm indecent? I wonder who was yelling ganbadde ganbadde…"
Tsunade pinched Kairen's face, speaking fiercely:
"Don't say that again, did you hear me!"
"All right! All right!"
Seeing Tsunade's face like a red apple, Kairen stopped talking. He began helping Tsunade as her assistant, and during the process he even asked whether Tsunade liked eating noodles—he would cook noodles for her to eat.
At night, the whole family sat properly at the dining table.
"Mmm~"
Wolon and Fenchu kept tugging Kairen's sleeve, wanting meat, so Kairen picked up a few meatballs with his mouth to feed them.
These two chubby little bears ate all day long; their stomachs were like bottomless bags, no matter how much food went in, they never filled up.
But being able to eat is a blessing—this also reflected that their life nature was evolving toward a higher level.
Kairen chewed on a sushi, glanced at Tsunade, and asked:
"Tsunade, how is it? Work busy?!"
Hearing this, a complicated expression surfaced on Tsunade's beautiful face:
"Being Hokage really isn't a job a human should do. From trivial disputes between villagers, to coordinating ninjas throughout the village, everything must be managed. As Hokage's assistant, I barely even have time to rest."
"Sensei may be a little hypocritical, but when it comes to work, he truly never slacks off."
Kairen nodded. If the Third weren't capable, he couldn't have been Hokage for so many years.
But now he had no scapegoat anymore—his calm expression would slowly crumble. He would have to fight personally… even shamelessly.
Thinking about Tsunade being busy while he was leisurely every day, Kairen suggested to her:
"How about I assign a few shadow clones to you and let them help you?"
"Is that okay?"
Kairen nodded:
"No problem. You can use my clones however you like."
Since Kairen had already conquered Tsunade's fortress last night, and the banner of power had changed hands, naturally he must rule his new territory properly.
Tsunade thought about it—Kairen's chakra was endless, as extravagant as his tadpole legion. Using a few clones wouldn't affect him at all.
Tsunade nodded:
"All right! Give me a few tomorrow!"
"No problem."
After finishing the meal, Kairen got to the main point.
"I've already finished reconstructing the Forest of Death. Now it's like a paradise. We should sell this old Senju property. Let's move there!"
"Reconstruct?!" Tsunade was puzzled.
Kairen nodded:
"Yes! Reconstruct. I built a huge villa in there. It has everything—whatever you want to eat, drink, ride, or sit on, you can find it."
"So? Do you want to go visit my territory?!"
Tsunade looked at Kurenai and Shizune—both clearly had curiosity shining in their eyes.
A mischievous expression also appeared on Tsunade's face, like a woman seeing a cucumber late at night.
Tsunade stood up:
"Then let's go! Let us see what kind of paradise this little engineer built?"
"I guarantee you'll have the time of your lives!"
In the Senju courtyard, Kairen transformed into a huge husky, letting Tsunade and the others ride on his back.
Kairen howled like a wolf and rushed toward the Forest of Death.
On the way, Tsunade patted Kairen's back:
"Why did you turn into a dog?! Wasn't the hawk before very majestic?"
Kairen froze.
...
Very soon, the four-person team plus two assistants reached the Forest of Death.
Tsunade and the others looked from afar—and their eyes instantly widened.
Outside was blocked by thick concrete walls. The gate was directly a fortress gate, with battlements on top.
Between every battlement were mighty cannons, terrifying just at first glance.
Tsunade grabbed Kairen's dog ear:
"What are you doing?! You built a military fortress right inside the village?!"
Kairen nodded his dog head, then suddenly noticed some figures hidden in the shadows nearby.
Kairen's Panda Paradise had caused such a commotion that the Anbu couldn't possibly ignore it—they were here to gather intel.
But none dared enter, because Kairen's shadow clones were patrolling on the walls.
Outside there was a huge blazing crater—blown open by a cannon. There was already a previous example proving that if they got close, they would be blown into pieces.
Kairen ignored them and stomped down hard with Tsunade and the others, leaving four huge dog-paw prints on the ground.
He leapt into the air, and while flipping over the gate, transformed into a bald eagle.
"Chirp——!"
Kairen soared in the sky so Tsunade and the others could more clearly view his city.
Inside was brightly lit with countless facilities and entertainment venues.
Clear springs flowed through, a small lake in the center, flourishing yet peaceful—perfect for living and health.
A faint smile appeared on Shizune's face:
"I like it here!"
Kurenai also nodded—both were amazed by the beautiful Panda Paradise.
Kairen glided slowly and suggested to Tsunade:
"Tsunade, this will be our home from now on. How does that sound? Move here and live happily with me?"
Seeing such a beautiful place, Tsunade's heart was moved. She nodded:
"All right! Tomorrow, we'll move the important things from the Senju house. We'll live here from now on."
Kairen smiled and flew toward his White House.
"Tsunade, Kurenai, Shizune, I'll take you to choose your rooms. Don't worry, the beds are huge—nobody will fall off."
To ensure everyone could move freely indoors just like outside, Kairen made all the rooms very large—easy to coil up and move around.
"Wow~ So beautiful! So big! It feels full of futuristic tech!"
The luxurious interior of the White House instantly captured Kurenai and Shizune's hearts. The two ran around nonstop.
They admired every exquisite decoration with curiosity.
Tsunade looked at a portrait hanging on the wall—a beautiful blonde woman, herself. No matter from what angle, the painting carried a hint of a smile.
Kairen introduced:
"This is my admiration toward Tsunade. It's called Mona Lisa Tsunade. How is it?"
Tsunade nodded. Seeing that Kurenai and Shizune were still busy exploring the White House and hadn't noticed them here—
She leaned closer and gave Kairen a kiss:
"You little rascal, this is your reward for painting me so beautifully!"
Kairen chuckled, then grabbed Tsunade's hand and walked toward a place:
"Come! I'll take you to your room."
"It's the innermost one, with great soundproofing—you can scream until your voice breaks and no one outside will hear a thing."
Tsunade let Kairen pull her forward. Hearing his words, she blushed and scolded while pinching his cheek:
"What are you talking about?!"
