Chapter 109 The Joy of Being Called "Senpai" by Haruko
The inauguration ceremony of the Fifth Hokage was held in grand style. With a new leader, everything in Konoha was thriving.
The only two people who are troubled should be Haruko Hayama and Shizune. Tsunade is indeed a morally questionable person. She has a lot of work to do but chases after Haruko Hayama every day.
Shizune: (Painful face) Lady Tsunade, you really have to go to work!
Tsunade: (Shrugs) But I can't feel at ease without Haruko by my side.
So it became Haruko running in the morning, Tsunade chasing after her, and Shizune holding her hand.
For the sake of Konoha, Shizune could only ask Haruko Hayama to come to her office whenever she had free time.
Haruko Hayama: ...
"Haruko, would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?" Tsunade flirted during a break from her work. "Nawaki is also back in the village today, and he and Dan will definitely want to see you."
"Lady Tsunade's brother and lover want to see me?" Haruko Hayama asked, puzzled.
Is this some new type of scam?
Tsunade propped herself up on her hands, looking at her with a serene smile, "Yes, after all, you are the most important person in our family."
"..." Haruko's eyes were lifeless.
So Tsunade's white moonlight isn't just her white moonlight, but also the white moonlight of her whole family?!
What an incredibly melodramatic plot...
At Shine's pleading, Haruko nodded with difficulty. Tsunade, energized by the affirmation, quickly finished all the work without stopping.
Silently wiping away tears of relief: With my junior sister here, I feel relieved!
After sending Shizune away, Tsunade led Haruko Hayama to her house. The lights in the room were still off, presumably because Dan Kato was still out on a mission and hadn't returned yet.
"So this is what Tsunade-sama's house looks like." Haruko Hayama looked around curiously.
I had expected it to be a room for gamblers and drunkards, but thankfully it was a warm and clean room.
Based on her years of experience with Tsunade, she could tell from Tsunade's expression that Tsunade was internally criticizing herself again. She couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have let herself go on the mission. Now, her negative reputation had spread to all the countries.
"Oh dear, I originally wanted to cook a big meal to treat Haruko, but I didn't expect Haruko to be so enthusiastic about cooking!" Tsunade laughed heartily.
"..." Haruko recalled the unidentified purple-green food waste in the trash can and silently comforted herself that it was all for her own safety.
"Tsunade, I'm back... Oh, is there a customer?"
Kato Dan stepped into his home, only to find a pair of unfamiliar shoes in the entryway.
He stepped down the corridor and into the living room, where he immediately saw Tsunade grinning mischievously and... Haruko Hayama looking slightly reserved.
Thump!
Kato dropped the fruit he was carrying to the ground, and several apples rolled out of the bag and spun around on the floor.
All the sealed memories flooded back the moment he saw her, but... how could this be?!
He opened his mouth in disbelief; who was this miniature version of Haruko Hayama in front of him...?
Tsunade could tell from his flustered expression that he remembered, so she went over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "That's right, it's exactly what you thought."
Kato Dan stared stiffly at Tsunade, "She...she really is..."
Tsunade nodded in affirmation in response. Kato Dan swallowed hard and looked at Hayama Haruko with a complicated expression.
Haruko Hayama: ...?
Then, when the legendary top-secret intelligence agent Nawaki returned, the same scene repeated itself.
Haruko Hayama: (Already given up)
Nawaki whispered in Kato Dan's ear, "Brother-in-law, is she really Haruko-neechan?"
"Tsunade said it's exactly what we thought." Kato Dan was still in surprise as he sat at the table. "But how is that possible? It's a good thing, but it's just too unbelievable."
Nawaki nodded in agreement, "Besides, Haruko-neechan clearly didn't recognize us."
Looking at Haruko Hayama across from them, who was being fed by Tsunade, they felt both guilt for forgetting their savior and joy at having her back.
"Never mind, no matter what, Haruko is our benefactor. Didn't you see how clingy your sister is?"
Kato abandoned his deep thoughts; for them, nothing was more fortunate than the fact that Haruko Hayama was still alive.
Nawaki understood after hearing his words and gave a childlike smile, "It's so good that Haruko-neechan is still alive!"
Meanwhile, Tsunade and Haruko Hayama were still locked in a stalemate.
"Haruko, eat more!"
"There really wasn't a need for this, Lady Tsunade!"
Upon hearing her address, Nawaki remembered the incident. "Speaking of which, why did you secretly appoint my sister as Hokage while I was away? That's so sneaky!"
Tsunade teased, "Isn't it because you're too amazing? If you became Hokage, wouldn't Konoha lose a top-tier intelligence agent?"
"..." Nawaki was speechless, never expecting that the higher-ups really had such a reason.
But it's alright. Becoming Hokage was just a childhood dream. Only after growing up did I realize that as long as I can contribute to Konoha, I am also protecting the Konoha that my grandfather loved.
Besides, it was his sister who became Hokage, and he was, after all, the Hokage's younger brother!
"What about Haruko-neechan? Will she live with us?" Nawaki asked eagerly.
He still believes that Haruko Hayama suddenly appeared in this era and lost her previous memories, so he naturally assumes that they should take good care of her.
"..."
Who can understand what it feels like to be called "Haruko-neechan" by a man in his forties? Haruko simply couldn't accept it.
Moreover, the other two seemed to take it for granted and didn't notice how terrifying the name was.
Haruko Hayama thought that she should probably stay away from Tsunade's family from now on...
Noticing her strange expression, Kato Dan suddenly realized the problem with his choice of words and poked the rope tree next to him with a helpless expression.
"Do you still think you're a child?"
Nawaki scratched his head, realizing what had happened. Seeing the couple's amused expressions and Haruko's resentful look, he quickly said, "I...I misspoke!"
But what to call her is also a problem. We can't exactly call her "Haruko-chan," can we?
Nawaki felt that if he actually shouted that, he would probably be beaten up by Tsunade and her team the next second.
Haruko thoughtfully offered in the morning: "You can just call me Haruko, Nawaki-senpai."
Nawaki, who was called "senpai": ...No wonder my sister is so proud. Who wouldn't be envious to be called "senpai" by a miniature version of Haruko?
Kato Dan watched with amusement as the two siblings fought over her with an air of heroic devotion, as if they were willing to live or die for her.
"Haruko has her own life, so Nawaki should just go out and gather information and report it to your dear Hokage sister!" Tsunade ordered her younger brother around with a sense of entitlement.
"Why should I? I've been your slave for so many years, it's about time I went back to the village!" Rope Tree protested defiantly.
He wouldn't have objected before, after all, it was for the sake of the village, but now that his savior has appeared, how could he abandon his savior and go far away!
"Huh? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. With your sister around, you won't have a single chance to try and curry favor with her!"
The two siblings exchanged a fierce glance, neither willing to back down.
Haruko: So Nawaki-senpai was also enslaved by Tsunade! She's found her organization! (Silently shedding tears)
