Reporting to Sandaime

A day has passed since Shosuke activated Nen for Kushina

Today is the time for Shosuke to refocus on his goal of pretending to be dead in the 3rd Shinobi war before the war ends

Of course, this time Shosuke told Kushina, Shosuke didn't want Kushina to worry anymore about his safety, it wasn't difficult to convince Kushina because Shosuke had told Kushina his secret, though at first Shosuke was hesitant to tell her the secret, in the end, he decided

The beginning of a healthy harem is trust. That's what Shosuke believes Unless it's a dangerous secret for Kushina, that's when Shosuke will keep his secret alone

It's noon when Shosuke casually walks towards the Hokage building to report

This time Shosuke didn't use any disguise, so few of the Anbu hiding in the shadows recognized him immediately

Shosuke could feel that the Anbu who saw him immediately ran towards the Hokage building to report his arrival. Shosuke did nothing to the Anbu other than glanced at them for a moment with a smile.

And as expected, after Shosuke arrived at the Hokage building, no ninja stood in his way as he walked straight towards the Sandaime Office.

At the Sandaime office, Hiruzen was ready to welcome Shosuke ever since the Anbu reported about his return.

The door opened as Shosuke entered and bowed politely

"Chunin Shosuke Uzumaki, report to Sandaime-sama."

Hiruzen, sitting casually on his Hokage chair, just glanced at Shosuke for a while, then smiled.

"So, Chunin Shosuke, can you explain where you disappeared for the past 3 years?" Hiruzen said straight to the point

Shosuke nodded. "As you know Sandaime after I fought with Hanzo to restrain him, I also suffered badly after that forcing me to hide in Amegakure to heal myself."

"Are your injuries that bad that you had to disappear for 3 years?" Investigate Hiruzen with an amused look at Shosuke

"I healed in a few months Sandaime-Sama, but even though my wound healed my strength decreased due to the effect of the last jutsu which damaged some of my Chakra, back then with the same power, I have estimated that it is impossible to penetrate the heavily guarded border of Amegakure" Shosuke replied smoothly, This was the excuse he had made the last few days with Kushina.

"And also Sandaime-sama, during these 3 years over the border loosening its guard, the border situation is getting tenser so it doesn't give me a chance to go home until I recover my damaged Chakra," continued Shosuke.

Sandaime closed his eyes as he analyzed Shosuke's report to confirm the information he had. After a while, Sandaime opened his eyes after confirming Shosuke's Report.

As Shosuke said for the last three years, the state of the border between Konoha and Amegakure is not calm because of Shosuke's fight against Hanzo, even Hiruzen himself regularly monitors the condition of the Konoha and Amegakure border, but unfortunately, Hiruzen is an old monkey, even though he finds Shosuke's report perfect he wouldn't believe it blindly, luckily Hiruzen paid no heed to that.

"And tell me why you just reported today, I heard from the Anbu that you didn't come from outside the village but from the Uzumaki residence, don't tell me you've been in Konoha for some time?" Ask Hiruzen

Shosuke smiled awkwardly before saying, "Yes."

"How many days?" Ask Hiruzen calmly

"A week," Shosuke replied

Hiruzen, who heard Shosuke's reasoning, was silent before growling, "What have you been doing this week? why are you only reporting now? What's more important than reporting after your return to Konoha? Don't tell me you've been busy making love with Kushina all this time?"

Hiruzen could accept that Shosuke might rest for a day or two before reporting. After all, the report wasn't urgent or anything like that, But it's been a week.

Unfortunately, Shosuke didn't answer Hiruzen but remained awkwardly silent in front of Hiruzen, Making Hiruzen dumbfounded.

"Don't tell me you really made love to Kushina?" Hiruzen confirmed with a surprised look

Shosuke just slightly nodded while averting his gaze from Hiruzen

Hiruzen was speechless as his expression changed every second. Even the Anbu hiding above Hiruzen couldn't be surprised that they almost fell from the ceiling.

Seeing the dumbfounded Hiruzen, Shosuke knew it would be a prolonged problem if he didn't run away, so Shosuke nimbly bowed.

"That's my report, Sandaime-Sama," Shosuke said then without wasting time running out of Hiruzen's office.

Hiruzen, who woke up from his shock, immediately felt Shosuke had run away from his office and hysterically shouted, which shocked all the ninjas in the Hokage Building.

"DON'T RUN YOU SHOSUKE BRAT, COME HERE AND EXPLAIN TO ME!!"

Shosuke, who was on the run, paled at hearing Hiruzen's screams but decided to ignore it and continued moving. He was sane enough to avoid the panicked old monkey, and he knew the old man cared a bit about him for considering him as an adopted grandson since childhood.

…

Back at the Hokage building, Tsunade, who was about to report the results of her medical jutsu research, heard her teacher Hiruzen's hysterical scream. From that shout, she also knew the person who made her teacher angry, Shosuke.

'Is the brat finally return'

Tsunade thought, surprised since she lost her sister Nawaki in this war, Tsunade tried to divert her sadness in medical jutsu research so that she had been indifferent all this time.

But Shosuke's name evokes emotions that have been hidden for so long, Tsunade remembers that she also thought of Shosuke as her adopted sister. Still, during Shosuke's disappearance for three years, Tsunade felt guilty that she thought Shosuke was dead.

But, finally today, he knows Shosuke is still alive

Tsunade immediately ran to meet Hiruzen's teacher, who was sitting limply in his Hokage chair

Hiruzen didn't stop Tsunade, who entered his office

"Sensei, is Shosuke back to Konoha? He is still alive?" Tsunade asked with teary eyes

Hiruzen looked at his female student, and he knew that since the death of his younger sister Nawaki, Tsunade continued to shut herself in research and liquor, Hiruzen could not do anything to relieve her sadness

That's why Hiruzen had only been quietly ordering the Anbu to watch the depressed Tsunade if her condition got worse

"Yeah he's been home for a week, but that bad boy only reported today in the end," Hiruzen replied

"Then why is sensei shouting? What did Shosuke say to sensei that made you scream out loud?"

Looking at his student, Hiruzen wasn't sure to say it, not to say it directly with his mouth because of that. Hiruzen just coughed awkwardly then wisely said while pointing at the Anbu hiding in the ceiling.

"Sensei has a lot of paperwork to do today, you can ask the Anbu there to explain to you."

The Anbu that Hiruzen pointed at felt his knees go weak, and he wondered if the goddess of luck had finally cursed him today, while the other Anbu could only sympathize and pray for the safety of his comrades.

That's why the Anbu were forced to show themselves to Tsunade before saying.

"Please follow me out Tsunade-Sama, I will explain to you," Anbu said before walking out with Tsunade.

No one noticed when cold sweat is covered Anbu's face behind the mask as his legs shook slightly.

Hiruzen intends to increase the Anbu salary to at least compensate for his suffering.

Tsunade, who had lost her original purpose, immediately followed the Anbu to the roof of the Hokage building, where poor Anbu informed her of the conversation between Shosuke and Sandaime.

And sure enough, after learning what happened, Tsunade immediately blushed then hit the poor Anbu with her fists because her brain circuits were too hot.

Hokage building shaking

Hiruzen, who was in his office, felt the vibration when he signed the letter of increase in salary of the Anbu who accompanied Tsunade. At the same time, the Anbu left with Hiruzen could only pray to Six paths for his friend's safety.

…

*Should I add Tsunade as Harem To?
