Although Senju Tobirama is already in his forties, in order to maintain his peak strength, not only his appearance and figure, but also his physical fitness are naturally kept in the most youthful and powerful state.

And the men of the Senju family...

Well, to be honest, both Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama are indeed the best examples of "power and beauty".

The physique is strong and well-proportioned, the lines are graceful and smooth, and the muscles are tight and full. It really looks majestic and toned. This is also the figure that most ninjas envy and want to develop.

...Well, if it were placed in a modern society of certain time and space, then two brothers with such figures would be more popular with muscular men than girls if they went for a walk in the gym.

And Uchiha Obi has always been the type to tell the truth, so when he saw the "dressed to look thin" Nidaime-sama in front of him showing his "undressed and fleshy" side, he subconsciously exclaimed and applauded by the way.

: "Awesome, awesome!"

Senju Tobirama: "..." Is it too late for him to put his shirt back on now?

He finally discovered that the lack of ninja common sense may not have much impact on her, but the lack of common sense in life is a big problem.

He casually put the black shirt aside and reminded: "Calamus, just treat me, don't do this to other men."

"Hey?" Uchiha tilted his head and asked, "Why? Isn't it allowed to praise your good figure?"

"...It's not impossible, but it's easy for others to think wildly." Well, of course, he won't. After all, he is a serious person, and... he is much older than her.

Tsk.

"I see..." Uchiha nodded with a hint of understanding, "It means that it will make people misunderstand that I have unreasonable thoughts about him, right?" Is it too much to just brag and think like this...

Is she a bit narcissistic? Ah, then she has been staring at Mr. Jing before, will she be misunderstood by him? But then again...she likes to look at him so much, is it really love at first sight? Hmm, I don't understand.

…

"...So be it." Senju Tobirama discovered again that her straightforwardness was also a problem. Of course, with the support of sufficient strength, this problem can be ignored. Or perhaps, this world is lacking

This type of person's pure and clear eyes can reflect everything in this world without a trace of hypocrisy, and then they can move forward with their head held high and their chests high than anyone else.

"Understood." Uchiha nodded again and said sincerely, "Well, don't worry, Tobirama-sama, I won't do this to others. It would be bad to cause such a misunderstanding. I think it will cause trouble.

"

"...Hmm." Senju Tobirama subconsciously wanted to ask - So, what you said to the mirror...is it true or is it a misunderstanding?

However, after hesitating for a while, he failed to ask.

"This bruise..." Uchiha Obi looked at the bruise on the opponent's abdomen and said with emotion, "Tobirama-sama, your skin is already white, and this makes it look even more serious..."

"It's okay." Qianju Tobirama lowered his head and said nonchalantly, having been used to this for a long time, "As long as the congestion is rubbed away, it will be cured soon." After that, he made a little estimate and confirmed that she

When rubbing the bruise, he would not touch his ribs, which must have been cracked, so he nodded with confidence and said, "Let's get started."

"Okay!" Uchiha poured the medicinal wine into his palm and asked hesitantly, "Master Tobirama, do you want to find something to bite?" She was worried that if the other party screamed in pain... she wouldn't be able to do it harshly.

I have my hands. But I have already rubbed it. If I didn’t rub it away in one breath, Tobirama-sama would have suffered in vain.

Qianju Tobijian raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile: "No need, Calamus, I am not such a weak man."

Men like them, even if they are hit by four or five knives, can probably stand there and talk and laugh. Of course, compared to this, he would rather stand there unharmed and watch his opponent talk and laugh after being hit by 4 or 5 knives.

It would be great if he could hear his last words. Oh, of course, he would be happier if the other person was willing to die quickly.

"...Okay." Uchiha took a deep breath, then raised a hand and pressed it on the shoulder of the silver-haired man in front of him. Then, he leaned forward and pressed his right hand on his bruise-covered face.

She started to help rub away the congestion on the scar's abdomen. As she moved, in order to better leverage her strength in this position, her hands unconsciously changed from holding his shoulders... to hooking his neck and turning sideways.

During this time, the whole person almost leaned in his arms.

Qianju Tojian: "..." Oh.

"Tobirama-sama, is this intensity okay?"

"Will it hurt?"

"Tobirama-sama?"

"Tobirama-sama...?"

"...Tobirama-sama."

"Tobirama-sama!"

"...Huh?" Qianju Tobirama suddenly came to his senses, coughed dryly, and asked, "What?"

"...No, I just want to ask you if it hurts." Uchiha raised his head and said speechlessly, "But you can still be in a daze. It seems that Lord Tobirama, your pain tolerance is really quite strong." As expected.

It's Hokage-sama, he's so awesome!

"..." No... Actually, forget it... let's just accept the name, otherwise it will be more troublesome to explain.

"Okay!" Uchiha glanced at the bruises on the opponent's abdomen that had been rubbed away, released his hand around the opponent's neck, stepped back, happily and confidently picked up the handkerchief he had put aside and wiped away the remaining blood in his hands.

Liquor, then picked up another clean cloth and gently tried to wipe the medicated wine off his abdomen. She knew that the person in front of her had a mysophobia, and he would definitely not be willing to put on his shirt again if he didn't wipe it clean.

Senju Tobirama: "!"

He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's wrist. Then under her confused gaze, he took a deep breath, pulled the cloth from her hand, turned around and said, "I can do it myself.

"

"...Oh." Uchiha blinked. Although he didn't understand why Hokage-sama turned his back now, he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and said softly, "Then Tobirama-sama

, wipe it yourself, I'll wash my hands first. Where is the bathroom...?" There were paper partition doors on both sides of the bedroom, and she was not sure which side was the correct direction.

"Open the paper partition door on the left and walk straight past three rooms to reach the bathroom." Senju Tobirama opened his mouth to guide her.

Because he lives here alone, the rooms are basically connected to each other by paper partitions for convenience, so there is no need to go out of the room.

"OK."

Uchiha then stood up and went to wash his hands.

Seeing the girl's back disappearing into the room, Senshou Tobirama slowly clenched the cloth in his hand, looked down, then looked up at the ceiling, closed his eyes, sighed with an embarrassed and helpless expression, and raised his eyebrows.

The shallow marks caused by frowning seemed to be getting deeper...

There is no doubt that this surprised him a little, but...if you think about it carefully, you can understand. After all, when a ninja's energy and blood are boiling, he will...well, in short, this is not a rare thing, it just happened at an inappropriate time.

As long as it is not discovered and the blood can be calmed down before the person comes back, there will be no problem.

So...

When Uchiha came back after washing and wiping his hands, he saw the silver-haired Hokage, fully dressed, sitting cross-legged in the room, waiting for him.

"Tobirama-sama, I'm ready!" She quickly ran to him and said.

"Yes." Qianju Tobirama nodded and said with a serious face, "Calamus, I want to confirm something with you."

"...What?" Ochiha realized the solemn atmosphere, so he also knelt down and sat down with his hands carefully placed on his knees, sitting upright.

"When you first met, the reason why you wanted to become an ANBU was because of its good salary and benefits. But now, you should know how busy and hard it is, and it is also a very dangerous job. You must always take the lead.

Even preparing for serious injury or death. Even so, has your mind still not changed?"

Uchiha thought for a while, then nodded decisively and said: "Yes! Lord Tobirama, my mind has not changed at all!"

"What's the reason?" Qianju Feijian asked.

"Because..." Uchiha thought for a moment, then showed an embarrassed expression.

"What?" Senju Tobirama said jokingly, "Or for the salary?"

"No..." Ochiha Oichi shook his head and said softly, "As for the money, it will be enough. In fact, for this job now, the salary you give me, Tobirama-sama, has completely exceeded my original expectations.

.so……"

"So?" Senju Tobirama asked patiently, "What?"

"So..." Uchiha's hand on his knee slightly grasped the khaki trousers - she was wearing a set of ninja uniforms with apricot top and khaki bottom today. Sister Wakana was really keen on dressing her up.

, the wardrobe in her small room was almost overflowing with clothes. Even if she wore one piece a day, she wouldn't be the same for half a month - she said softly, "I, what I want is... well, if I become an ANBU

, can I protect you, Tobirama-sama?"

This may sound a bit arrogant, but...

but,

But it was indeed what was in her heart.

She wanted to become an ANBU directly under the command of the Hokage, protect the Hokage of Konoha, and protect Tobirama in front of her.

No one is more suitable to represent Konoha than Tobirama-sama, so protecting him is protecting this village where important people exist.

...Well, that's what she thought.

There was no need to explain, just as she sometimes really understood Senju Tobirama, he could always find all the truth he wanted to know from her pure and clear eyes.

He thought: Ha... Those are really shameless words... She wants to protect me and so on... No, according to her strength, maybe it's not a big talk, but the truth. One day in the future, maybe she can really save her.

His life.

in this way……

He raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, then nodded and said -

"Okay, then come and give it a try, Iris... no, Firefly."

"……firefly?"

"Yes." Senju Tobirama looked at the surprised eyes of the person in front of him and replied with a smile, "Didn't you ask me to give you a code name before? Then, I want to call you 'Hotata', 'Summer Firefly'

'The firefly', 'The firefly's light is intermittent, one light and one extinguishes every foot, how can it be lonely', what do you think of the firefly?"

In fact, her radiance is far more powerful than fluorescent light... It can even be compared with the scorching sun, the bright moon and the endless stars in the sky. However, the flash of brilliance when she appears around him is indeed just like the summer river.

The fireflies by the stream are clever and beautiful. So, he thought for a long time and still wanted to give her this name, and really wanted to know, would she like it?

this name.

"Hotaro..." Uchiha muttered the name, then, with a bright smile on his face, he nodded vigorously and said, "Yeah! Then from now on, I will be 'Hotata'!"

"good."
