After lunch time…

The Uchiha returned to the office and continued to stand by. She looked down at the empty Hokage office chair and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, because... If Tobirama-sama was not here, he must have gone out or gone home to eat, right?

fine.

It's better than sitting in the office and forgetting about time and missing lunch.

As if to verify her statement, not long after, the figure of the silver-haired Hokage appeared in the office. He refilled a pot of tea for himself as usual, and then continued his afternoon work while drinking.

Uchiha Tape: "..." That pot of tea... was brewed in the early morning, right? Is it really okay to drink it all day long... Moreover, Tobirama-sama just finished eating, right? Why did he start drinking tea after the meal again?

…

However, what can she do?

She could only watch silently without saying a word.

Then I watched all the way until eight o'clock at night...

Clock out of get off work!

A normal ANBU day's work during peacetime can be so plain and simple sometimes.

It's around eight o'clock in the evening.

Uchiha took the child and teleported back to the Senju family's mansion, which she planned to move away but was still using. Don't ask her why she didn't use the Thunder God, just ask... I'm still embarrassed.

Not long after I started, I met little Tsunade.

"Huh?" Little Tsunade asked doubtfully as soon as she came home from school and was put into a beautiful little kimono by her "young grandma" who liked to dress her up so much. She was also complimented every day by words such as "so cute, so beautiful".

, "Calamus, why are you alone? Where is my second grandfather?"

"Well..." Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then said with a dry smile, "I... will get off work at that time, and Tobirama-sama is still at work."

"The boss hasn't gotten off work yet, so you ran away first." Xiao Tsunade folded her arms and looked at her sideways, "You are really an unqualified subordinate, Acorus." If she wants to find a subordinate in the future, she will definitely find herself.

The type that follows her wherever she goes, oh, by the way, and is also responsible for taking the money to accompany her to the casino for fun.

"...Tsunade-hime," Uchiha squatted down in front of the girl and said seriously, "Let's use an analogy. You are clearly out of school, but the teacher insists on staying in class. How do you feel?"

Little Tsunade: "..." Then I have to hit you with my fist... cough, forget it. In fact, she already understood in her heart, but she was still unforgiving, "My second grandfather treats you better than my teacher treats me."

Much better." It's not that the teacher treated her badly, but...well, although she couldn't tell the specifics, she knew it was definitely different.

The Uchiha boy looked at the sky speechlessly, thinking: If your teacher feels the same way towards you as Tobirama-sama feels towards me, then... he will probably be crushed to pieces by the angry Senju family immediately...

Of course, this is really hard to say.

Speaking of which, it almost sounds like Tobirama-sama is a pervert... So, ahem...

She decisively changed the subject: "Tsunade-hime, it's so late, where do you want to go?"

"Don't worry." Little Tsunade raised her hands and stretched, and replied, "I don't plan to go out and wander around after dark. I just feel bored, so I just wander around the house." Now it's already.

It was night, and the Senju Mansion was still brightly lit, so there was no hindrance to where he could go.

Uchiha tape: "..." Look, this is the confidence of "Konoha's No. 1 Princess". She can walk around at home. Of course, she doesn't think it's anything. Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sama have no respect for Konoha

The contribution made by everyone in the village is really enough for everyone to raise their precious granddaughter.

"Didn't you say you wanted to play with me before?" Little Tsunade raised her chin and said, "Then go shopping with me."

"……ah?"

"Why? Don't want to?"

"No, no." Uchiha smiled and shook his head, then stood up and extended his hand to the girl, "Then, Tsunade-hime, do you want to hold hands?"

Although she is the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, she has been taught by her second grandfather for a long time. Little Tsunade seems to have been infected with some of the latter's arrogant aura that was obvious when she was young but gradually disappeared as time went by. Therefore, she obviously felt very sad.

He was happy, but he said: "Okay, let me give you this face." Then he reached out decisively and grabbed the hand of the girl next to him.

She actually...

I quite like walking hand in hand with this guy named "Calamus". Her hands... are very similar to those of my grandpa and grandpa. Of course, they are actually much smaller, but the palms and fingers are equally rough. At first glance,

It is the kind of roughness that is born from daily training, which makes people feel at ease. The nails are neatly trimmed and will not scratch or prick people at all like some ladies do. Then, the palms are dry and warm, and the temperature in the palms is a little bit

hot.

It will definitely feel hot in the summer, but now it's autumn, so it's just right.

"It's my honor~" Uchiha said cooperatively.

Immediately, the two people held hands and walked around casually in the Thousand Hands Mansion. Almost all the servants in the house had been with the patriarch's family for many years and knew everyone's character very well. Therefore, they didn't even look at little Tsunade.

He stepped forward to say hello, bowed from a distance, and then continued to do his own thing.

"calamus."

"What?"

"You didn't come back to sleep last night, right?"

"Um..." Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes, I went home to see my family yesterday, so I simply spent the night at home. What's wrong?"

"No." Little Tsunade puffed up her face, "It doesn't matter if you're not here. Grandpa Second seemed to be in a hurry this morning. He didn't eat with us or send me to school."

"..." Ochiha Uchiha was not surprised by this. In fact, she had already noticed this the moment she stepped into the office. She didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort her softly.

He said, "It's okay. Lord Tobirama is probably busy again. When he is free, he will definitely continue to see you off."

Little Tsunade snorted and complained in a low voice: "Who knows when I will be free, and who knows whether it will be like before again."

"..."

"Calamus, why don't you help me persuade my second grandfather." Little Tsunade raised her head and said expectantly, "Maybe he will listen to what you say." Although she didn't know some things, she was excellent.

Her intuition made her keenly aware of this.

"..." Uchiha fell silent again, and then asked in a low voice, "Tsunade-hime, you like that very much, don't you?"

"...Well, I quite like it." In this matter, little Tsunade was not arrogant and admitted her feelings frankly, "It would be great if...it would be like this every day in the future. Second Grandpa and you

, take me to school together."

"..."

"Then what if..." Uchiha asked cautiously, "For example...if everything becomes what it was before again, what would you think?"

"I will cry." Little Tsunade replied decisively, "No one can persuade me."

She is still a child, so what’s wrong with using distress to achieve her goals? It’s perfectly normal, right?

If you really love her, just do as she asks. It’s not an excessive request anyway, is it?!

Uchiha belt: "..." Stop!

So...how should I tell little Tsunade and the people in the Senju family who are also very kind to her? She is about to move away...

However, it’s not that she can’t understand little Tsunade’s mentality. It’s okay if she never gets it. If she gets it and then loses it, it would be really pitiful... When she realized this, she realized deeply again -

—

Blindly being nice to people, blindly getting close to someone, maybe... is not a purely good thing.

Because if you can't do this consistently, maybe it will become a kind of harm.

So, so...

Is Tobirama-sama also being hurt by her?

But, but, she could swear on her own life that it was never intentional...

She hopes for Lord Tobirama and this family more than anyone else, really.

at the same time.

She once again thought of what her ANBU colleagues had said to her cautiously at noon today.

The general meaning is that she should stop quarreling with Tobirama-sama, because Tobirama-sama has really treated her very well, far better than others. Then, how good was the life before? Tobirama

Everyone feels relieved that adults can live a more relaxed and comfortable life, so...

Make up quickly.

My companions have already said it tactfully,

But she didn't know how to answer.

Of course, I never think that they are meddling in other people's business, let alone get angry because of it. This is because everyone is sincere in their concern for Lord Tobirama, but they just say such words because they don't know the inside story.

But she couldn't explain it.

"Calamus, why don't you speak?"

"...I'm sorry, I was distracted for a moment." Uchiha thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, I understand. I will tell Lord Tobirama if...if I have a chance later." In fact, she

He feels that even if he doesn't say it, Lord Tobirama will still continue to do this. After all, he has seen how happy Tsunade-hime is in the past, right? Therefore, he who loves his family will never deprive him of this.

Kind of happy. It’s just...well, it takes a while to adjust your mood?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt like she was a little sinful...
