It's night.

Senjuwa's courtyard.

"Noriko." Senjuwa walked to his wife with a bowl of hot soup, "Don't make clothes at night, be careful of hurting your eyes. Come on, drink this."

Noriko Senju put down her needlework and took the hot soup from her husband with a smile. She lowered her head and took a sip. Not surprisingly, she found that the temperature was just right. In fact, it was like this every night, even with the water he brought.

Regardless of soup, the temperature is always the most suitable for your mouth.

He, who admires his second uncle, has learned the former's point well.

Qian Juhe picked up the small clothes that his wife put on his knees and looked at them with a smile. He felt that the clothes would be very beautiful on his daughter in the future, but at the same time he couldn't help scolding him and said: "Leave these things to the servants."

That's fine. You're not required to come in person." He grabbed his wife's hand that wasn't holding the soup bowl and gently stroked the soft fingertips. "I've been doing needlework a lot lately, and it seems like I've got calluses on it."

My younger sister Sachiko was in poor health when she was a child, but she received some ninja training after being raised; but Noriko is different. Although she comes from a ninja family, like their mother Chise who died young, she received "boudoir education" since she was a child.

I have never been exposed to any physical exercise.

"...It's not that exaggerated." Senju Noriko said angrily, "Besides, being pregnant at home is quite boring. Making small clothes is just a way to pass the time." When she said this, she paused and her expression rose.

With a hint of worry, he said, "He, you won't go to the hot spring with everyone tomorrow, but stay at home with me. Is that really okay?"

"Huh?" Senjuhe asked back, "What's the problem? Don't my father and second uncle agree?"

"But..." Noriko Senju hesitated, but finally said, "Rather than me, wouldn't it be better to spend more time with your father?"

Senjuhe suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, he said softly: "...It's okay. Time with father is certainly precious, but time with you and little Tsunade is equally precious. And," he raised his head and smiled, "compared to others

, I would rather make my father happy, even a little bit." Because of this, he loves the girl named "Xing" very, very much, and is willing to do his best to fulfill her any wishes. Because he and everyone

Everyone can see that since her arrival, her father's mood has indeed become much more relaxed.

Similarly, since his father wanted him to stay with his wife and daughter, he was willing to obey his ideas and instructions. Even if this little thing could only make his father a little happy, he would be satisfied.

"Soga..." Senju Noriko showed an understanding smile, and then nodded, "Well, okay, then you will stay with me and..." She stretched out her hand to touch her belly, "Xiao Tsuna

hand."

Qianshouhe opened his arms, hugged his wife into his arms, and also stretched out a hand to caress his wife's belly.

The two of them were like this silently and tenderly for a while. Senju Noriko didn't know what to think of, and a look of struggle suddenly appeared on her face.

"Huh?" Qianjuhe asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Do you want to go for convenience? Do you want me to help you? Or should I carry you?"

"...I don't want to go, and it's not to this point yet!" Senju Noriko lightly punched her husband angrily, and then said hesitantly, "What about...and...what I'm going to talk about next, you

Can you promise that you will never be angry? Otherwise, I won’t say anything.”

Qianjuhe: "..." He vaguely noticed something, but still nodded, "Well, I promise you, just say it."

"That's it..." Senju Noriko said softly, "Didn't I go back home today?" Her family is in Konoha and is very close to the Senju mansion, so she can go back anytime she wants. She paused

After a pause, she continued, "Originally I just wanted to go back and see my mother, but my father stopped me. He asked me...asked me..." Her words paused again, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Qianjuhewei sighed: "Asking you about my father's renewal of marriage?"

"...you know?" Noriko Senju widened her eyes slightly.

"This kind of thing..." Senjuhe smiled bitterly, "You can figure it out after just thinking about it, right?"

If a man who can use Wood Release and a woman who can use Wood Release are not related by blood, are they a perfect match?

In fact, not only him, but also Sachiko and Shige are more or less aware of this matter, right? However, since the father and second uncle act like "elders" all day long without saying anything, then they also

They cooperated tacitly.

"If my father were to unite with Hoshi..." Senju Kazu murmured, "Presumably, he would give birth to an excellent heir who is completely different from me, Shigeru and Sachiko..." At this moment, his mind once again thought of his mother.

The long period of painful disappointment when she was alive and the relieved hope that she had just given birth to Fanhou... Thinking about it now, her early death was not a kind of "lucky". At least, she had the happiness of "finally completing her mission" and "

I left with a sense of expectation that my second son’s talent will definitely be very good, and I didn’t end up depressed because I was disappointed.

"And..." Senju Noriko subconsciously grabbed her husband's hand, her eyes full of worry.

"...I'm sorry." Senjuwa came to his senses, apologized to his wife, and then said, "Sorry, Noriko."

"...Why are you apologizing?"

"Your family agreed to your marriage to me, more or less because they thought you would be the future Senju clan leader's wife, right?" A wry smile escaped Senjuwa's lips, "But Noriko, you should understand what you said.

.I have never been interested in these, so if my father has a better heir in the future..."

He hesitated to speak, because he really felt sorry for his wife about this matter.

In the eyes of many people, she can be the wife of the patriarch. If she fails to become the wife, then...

"I don't care about these things." Senju Noriko squeezed her husband's hand and said firmly, "He, you also know me, I never care about these things. I just hope that our family of three and our whole family will be well.

. Just look at my father, my second uncle, and you will know how hard it is to be the leader of a clan. I don’t want you to be so tired and hard. No matter how selfish a woman is, I don’t want you to be the first to stand up and ‘sacrifice’ when things happen.

Just because this is the clan leader's responsibility." She said calmly, "So, if there is a better person to step forward and become the clan leader of the Thousand Hands clan, I don't think there is any problem."

Qianjuhe looked at his wife blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Senju Noriko indeed said quite decisively: "We can live such a good life now entirely because of the protection of our father and second uncle. For the future life of little Tsunade, I hope that the Senju clan can continue to be protected by powerful people.

For this, no matter what price you pay, I can accept it." Compared to the safety and happiness of my family, what does the name of a mere patriarch's wife count?

"Kiko..."

"So regarding this matter," Senju Noriko raised her hand to touch the side of her husband's face and said with a smile, "Anada, no matter what decision you make, I will definitely support you."

"Then your family..."

Noriko Senju raised her chin and said decisively: "Don't worry about them! Our life is our own and we don't need others to tell us what to do. Besides, as long as I am the daughter-in-law of the Senju family, their vested interests will not be reduced.

Half a point, I just won't get more, what's there to say? Who dares to talk nonsense in front of me, I will tell my second uncle."

"..." Senju Kazu thought, this was really too powerful a threat - the second uncle loved Noriko very much. He said, "Sachiko did not marry outside because she is the eldest brother's most beloved daughter; but

Noriko has married into the family, so you must be good to her and let her treat this place as another home. Especially you and, as a husband, you must protect your wife, otherwise...", he was then

I didn't let the second uncle say the next words, because there was no need. He would definitely protect his wife. Of course, the second uncle was not only not angry about this, but also appreciated it very much. It was so nice to be praised by the second uncle...

"Anyway, next time," Noriko Senju took a deep breath, "I will treat Hoshi as always. If one day she really..." She took a deep breath again and spoke slowly, "Mother! Well, I can shout

Gotta come out.”

Qian Juhe: "..." He... He will also work hard...

Similar conversations, actually...

Just as Senju Kazuo thought, it also happened between Senju Sachiko and Kitahara Marri, but they also kept silent in a tacit agreement.

As for Senju Shige... It can be said that he has perfectly inherited his father's excellent intuition. Even if he says that he knows nothing about everything, would anyone believe him?

But no matter what, their mood is the same——

As long as the father is willing.

As long as my father wants it.

So no matter what he wants to do, these children are very willing to accompany him. But the premise is that the father will feel happy because of it.

...at the end of life.

Early next morning.

Because the place where they wanted to bathe was in the hot spring town of Konoha, the group did not need to prepare much. And a disciple of Senju Tobirama, under his special instructions, came to use it with their family.

breakfast.

"Torifeng, don't eat too much." During the meal, Senju Tobirama specifically warned Akimichi Tifeng, a disciple who likes to eat a lot, "Otherwise, you will feel uncomfortable when you soak in the hot springs later."

"Don't worry, teacher." Akimichi Tifeng replied as he swept away the whole plate of grilled fish in front of him and raised the bowl, "Please have another bowl! I also want a portion of fish!"

Senju Tobirama: "..." Okay, after all, he is a member of the Akimichi family, so it is understandable... He then asked other disciples, "Are you ready for everything? If you have forgotten anything, just pick it up from me.

They are all clean." Just in case, he made a lot of preparations.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand with a smile and asked: "Teacher, do you have any wine?"

Qianju Tobirama glanced at him helplessly: "It's so early in the morning, what kind of drink do you want to drink?" But then he added, "Of course there is one in the hotel. You can have a drink when dining at midnight. Well, you can also have a drink when taking a bath.

But don't go too far." It's easy to get dizzy while soaking in hot springs. If you drink alcohol and accidentally drown in the water, you can be nominated for "the funniest way to die." Besides, since he is taking his disciples out, he naturally wants them to be able to

Go home safely, otherwise how can they explain to their parents, family, and family?

"Hi~~~" Sarutobi Hiruzen responded energetically, then looked at Shimura Danzo and said with a smile, "Danzo, we can continue the unfinished competition last time."

"Competition?" Xiaochun asked curiously when he went to bed, "What competition?"

Mito Menyan rolled his eyes and said somewhat speechlessly: "Let's see who can last in the hot spring until the end."

Xiaochun went to bed: "..." Are you men so boring? Can't you learn from the teacher and be more mature? But she was still curious and asked, "Then who won last time?"

Uchiha Kage smiled and replied: "Menyan was the first to leave, followed by Tou Feng, then me, Hiruzen and Danzo fainted in the hot spring together, and finally we dragged him out and helped him outside to fan himself.

."

Xiaochun went to bed: "..." You guys - you are so boring!!! Can't you learn a little bit about the teacher's reliability?!!!!
