"No."
Kitazawa immediately made up a reason, saying, "I asked Lady Tsunade to help me perfect the final step of the medical ninjutsu for limb regeneration."
"The final step?"
Shizune paused for a moment, then exclaimed in amazement, "If this really succeeds, it will benefit all ninjas."
After all, any ninja is likely to experience intense battles, and may lose an arm or a leg.
If they had medical ninjutsu that could regenerate severed limbs, they would no longer have to worry.
"Lady Tsunade thinks so too."
Kitazawa said without changing his expression, "I will take her place at work this afternoon."
"Ah."
Jingyin nodded, no longer doubting, and said, "Then please sit down."
"It's not appropriate for me to sit in the Hokage's chair."
Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and said.
"Aren't you interested in the Hokage position?"
"Silence asked in return."
"Lady Tsunade hasn't even officially become Hokage yet, and we're already discussing this issue?"
Bei Ze stepped forward and teased, "Senior Sister Jingyin, you're up to no good."
"I believe you can become the Sixth Hokage."
Shizune smiled and said.
"It's too far off to talk about that."
Kitazawa glanced at the documents on the table and said, "Let's get to work."
Time passed slowly.
The afternoon passed quickly.
"Your work efficiency is quite good, better than Lady Tsunade's."
"Silent praises," she said.
"You and Lady Tsunade really do hurt each other."
Kitazawa paused slightly, then said.
He was thinking about Tsunade's evaluation of Shizune after the drinking session at noon.
What do you mean by "harming each other"?
Shizune let out a soft "hmm" and asked.
"nothing."
Kitazawa changed the subject, asking, "What are the plans for tonight? How about coming to my place?"
"That's fine too."
After a moment's thought, Jingyin said, "Then I'll go buy groceries."
"I won't say any more polite words. I'll go home and wait for you."
Kitazawa stood up and said.
"Go see Lady Tsunade first when you get home."
Shizune clenched her fists and said, "If she's not here and has gone to the casino, I will not let her off easily!"
"You are indeed very suitable to be the Hokage's secretary."
Kitazawa couldn't help but smile and said, "See you later."
He left the Hokage's office.
After returning home, he went to the neighbor's house.
He hesitated for two seconds at the door before raising his hand to knock.
But after waiting for a while, Tsunade still didn't open the door.
"Did they really go to the casino?"
Kitazawa thought for a moment, took out his key, and opened the door.
He took off his shoes and went into the living room.
Kitazawa arrived at the door of Tsunade's room.
The door was not closed.
He spotted Tsunade lying on the bed at a glance.
She didn't take off her clothes and was sleeping sprawled out like that, looking completely unladylike.
Kitazawa glanced subconsciously at the clothes that rose and fell with her breath.
Four words popped into his mind again: lying down is the best.
Kitazawa withdrew his gaze and stood still, knocking on the door.
"Which bastard?"
Tsunade's dissatisfied voice rang out.
"It's my fault, you bastard."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
Tsunade opened her eyes immediately.
She sat up and rubbed her temples.
Memories from before I went to sleep flooded back into my mind.
Her face froze instantly, and she subconsciously bit her rosy lips.
"Lady Tsunade, Shizune-senpai went to buy groceries. We'll be having dinner at our house tonight."
Kitazawa spoke first.
"Ah."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "You go back first, I'll be there in a bit."
"Don't stay up too late, lest Senior Sister Jingyin becomes suspicious."
Kitazawa offered a reminder, then turned and left.
"He really is shameless."
Tsunade looked at Kitazawa, who seemed completely unaffected, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
But she quickly regained her composure.
After all, she is Tsunade.
Night fell.
Kitazawa, Tsunade, Shizune, Kurenai Yuhi, and Karin and her mother had dinner together.
Just like usual, there's not much difference.
One night passes and a new week begins.
Chapter 264 Tsunade's Kiss, The Fifth Hokage Succession Ceremony
on Monday.
The Jonin were unusually lively.
Because today is the long-awaited Jonin election.
Since the founding of Konoha Village, there have only been four Jonin elections, and this is the fifth.
"If I had known, I should have applied for the Jonin Exam as soon as the war ended."
Kurenai said with a regretful expression.
She can't participate in the Jonin vote if she's not a Jonin.
"The outcome is already decided, so it makes no difference whether we participate or not."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"There are still differences."
Kurenai rolled her eyes at him and said, "At least you can show your support for Lady Tsunade in front of her."
"If you really want to support her, you can become the first Jonin after she becomes Hokage."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.
"That's a good suggestion!"
Kurenai's eyes lit up, and she said, "I'll apply next week. By then, I should have already learned Wind Release: Rasengan!"
"Then I wish you success in advance."
Kitazawa picked up the milk and said.
With Kurenai's current strength, becoming a Jonin wouldn't be difficult.
In addition to genjutsu, she also mastered sealing techniques, superhuman strength, and wind-style Rasengan.
His overall strength has reached the standard of a Jonin.
"Just don't forget our bet."
"Itsuki Kurenai said with a smile."
"I haven't forgotten."
Kitazawa took a sip of milk and said, "But you've already lost. I can complete the medical ninjutsu of limb regeneration before next week."
"No one can say for sure until the very last moment!"
Kurenai's expression changed slightly, and she snorted softly.
"Then let's wait and see."
Kitazawa finished his breakfast and was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door.
"I'll go wash the dishes."
Kurenai Yuhi offered, "Go and find out who it is, then you can go to the Hokage Building to participate in the Jonin election."
"Ah."
Kitazawa arrived at the door.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Standing outside the door was Yakushi Kabuto.
Good morning, Dou.
Kitazawa nodded slightly.
He's been busy with the Anbu these past two days and hasn't seen Yakushi Kabuto and the others.
"Teacher Kitazawa, I'll go to the Hokage Building with you."
Yakushi Kabuto explained his purpose.
Even though he's a Jonin, he still has to participate in the Jonin election.
"Let's go then."
Kitazawa closed the door and walked with him toward the Hokage Building.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
