Chapter 3: Settling in - A day at the office

In the past eight years, a lot has changed across elemental nations. The continuous deployment of shinobis across great nations being one of them. The other being Trade which now between various nations was now heavily restricted. Especially if the goods had any application in shinobi-related or even militaristic use. As such Great Nations had laid claims to whatever mines or natural resources that had even the slightest use for them.

As such smaller or minor nations had become targets of great nations. At first, everyone feared the advent of the fourth Shinobi war, but it soon became apparent that this would not be a war like the previous ones. As Konoha had started ramping up Shinobis across borders. Minor nations had become hotbeds of political actions, with negotiations going from neighbouring big nations to get the best deal out of them.

The minor Nations, especially ones sandwiched between great nations like Kusagakure or Amegakure, had become a paradise for smugglers and hotspot for the black market for banned tradable goods from neighbouring regions. These businesses were sometimes supported by the Daimyo of Nation or whoever led the minor nation. Apart from being the hotbed of above activities, these nations had become reconnaissance and information passing hubs for the spies and information brokers.

Spies from various nations tended to prefer these areas to get information and spread misinformation if they wanted.

The other aspect of this situation was the rise of various conglomerates, Like Gato's shipping enterprise, which grew exponentially. At face value, it was just a simple trading company, but behind curtains, there was no black market activity that Gato, the enterprise owner, didn't take part in.

Being the shrewd businessman he was, Gato established his base of operations just outside the jurisdiction of Fire country to escape any recuperation from Konoha or Fire Nation's Daimyo. Later as Mizu no Kuni delved into civil war and bloodshed like there was no tomorrow, His business boomed as he smuggled weapons, food and supplies to both sides. Currently, He had plans of taking over the small Town of Nami No Kuni. This tiny place was perfect for his operations. Unfortunately, he couldn't directly take over the small village during the Cold War between the Nations. Instead, he had to slowly buy out ports across the small place, But he had the belief that he could succeed.

As he planned to take over Nami no Kuni. Similar Mafias rose across various nations taking full advantage of this war and booming their business.

Kushina marched towards her workplace, Now garbed in the work outfit as her devout followers were calling it 'classy work outfit.' The tight-fit outfit consists of a Full Sleeve white blouse under a black blazer with open buttons and a knee-length black pencil skirt over a sheer black pantyhose. The slim-fit outfit quite prominently displayed her figure to everyone without showing any skin.

It had been a week since she had a wardrobe makeover. She still remembered the attention she got on the first day, from the streets of Hokage Tower to the office itself. While amusing at first, getting complete attention from all the nearby males, sometimes even Kunoichis.

The most amusing reaction she got was from the stuttering ones or the shy ones. If They already had difficulty talking directly previously, now they were as good as mute.

Hiruzen had complimented her on the new outfit so had other people in the office. For the past week, she mainly had integrated with various departments of Hokage tower, especially the ones dealing with paperwork-part. Not that she noticed, but whichever area she worked for the past week, Shinobis in that department had fluctuations in their performance depending on whom you asked.

Kushina noticed that her requests were taken on a more priority basis though she thought it was a perk of her position.

Just as Mikoto predicted, Her outfit designs had been copied by various merchants, and just yesterday, she saw Mannequins outside various clothing stores in her outfit in different colours. There had been some Hair salons selling 'Kushina Boss lady' hairstyles too.

Unknown to her, This new 'Boss office lady' look had been a hit among Shinobis. Girls in the red light district had an increasing demand to be dressed as her. As a result, there was a development of some slutty and degenerate versions of her outfit. These versions had been in great demand by the clients in the Red light district.

Kushina was brought to the present as she reached her destination. Today she was working with the archives department. As the name suggested, the department kept records of all activities that were sanctioned by the Hokage Tower.

The department had been subdivided into multiple divisions like Mission Archives, Research Archives, Accounts Archives etc. There were too many to count in Kushina's point of view.

Today she was looking over Account Archives, specifically looking over budget and expenditure for the past four years. Why do you ask? Why was it needed to personally look over accounts of the past four years? When she had asked Sandaime the same question. there was just one word from him. "War."

The heavy reality finally fell on her even though it was peaceful in Konoha in general. But the price of this peace was the deployment of forces across the fire nation and her borders. They may not be in traditional War anymore, but this was not any less than traditional War. Especially if one looked at the economics side of things.

Deployment of forces for the long term costs money. From mission payout to maintaining supplies, everything costs money. In addition, Konoha had to retain its treaties with minor surrounding nations, which acted as a buffer between great nations. And sometimes the treaties meant "Money" that is, Konoha had to pay these minor nations to keep the terms favourable to her.

Sandaime had assigned her task to calculate the cost of 'War' on Konoha for the last four years. When asked if he didn't have the same, He told her, "I know that Kushina, but sometimes you have to calculate it yourself to get an idea of the situation in reality." of course, he had allowed her to use whomever she wanted to get that data.

So here she was for the past two days collecting all information about the so-called War. She had been surprised how many basic amenities that Shinobis use cost, especially on the field. For example, if the price of a person's meal was usually 100 then on-field taking on all costs like transportation, packaging etc., that cost became 350.

It was an eye-opener for her. Less she talked about the money spent on leisure and relaxing centers that had been established for Konoha's forces on the field.

The cost of maintaining supply lines and storage space was also forthcoming.

She was interrupted by further going through archive reports by chunin. "Kushina-sama, I have completed the report on costs borne to hot springs country month by month for the past four years as you asked." As he places a stacked file in front of her.

"Thanks, Ryoichi-san. You and your team have been a great help in sorting this out."

The chunin was a fairly built young man roughly around Kakashi's age. He, along with a team of three somewhat experienced genins, was assigned to her.

The chunin in the past two days told her how like many in the archives department, he too was inducted here after failing to pass mandatory survival test after genin exam he was given the option to work in archives by recommendation from chunin sensei at the academy. He chose to be here rather than staring at an uncertain future as shinobi reserves.

Kushina knew what he meant. Being inducted into shinobi forces was no easy feat. It became doubly true for the ones who got failed by perspective sensei.

On record, more than half of the rejected genins quit shinobi corps after failure, and those that remained were marked as second-string or sometimes third-string forces.

Meaning they barely got a chance to go on higher-ranked missions, much less lead on. The missions they were assigned were generally as replacements of some sort.

They had low resources to improve their skills unless they had clan support.

So it was challenging for shinobi to rise up ranks from here.

So most of the shinobis stuck here took whatever easy way out of there, like joining various departments across Konoha's shinobi corps.

Kushina vowed to look into matters of these reserve forces when she came to power. Especially if she could provide them at least resources to upgrade their skills. She could easily see these could prove vital in rotating with main forces, which could significantly boost Konoha's overall standing.

As Kushina mused in thoughts while looking into the latest report submitted by Ryoichi.

The chunin in question can't help but steal glances at the redhead. With her blazer discarded and the top button of the blouse undone. Ryoichi got quite an eyeful for her assets.

When he and genins were assigned to Kushina a couple of days back, they couldn't count their lucky stars enough. With all the buzz the redhead was making and head-turning in the tower since her outfit changed. They got a chance to do a mission while directly assigned to her. Frankly speaking, this was the best thing that happened to him while at the archives department from the time of induction.

As he and the genin team walked behind her on the first day, he heard genins whispering among themselves, commenting about her ass. And he was sure she heard that, as much as genins think of themselves as being inconspicuous, there's no way a kunoichi of the redhead's calibre didn't hear them. His fears did come true later when in the assignments room, she had a pointed glare towards the trio of the genins and assigned them the meanest task of the department. The mission was "dusting the entire department apart from assisting Ryoichi in this mission" Usually, this mission was reserved for inductees so that they could know various sections of the department well enough. He knew from personal experience that an arduous task was set to take up the trio most of the week. To complete the mission in a day, it took six or seven genin teams a day. On another note, he was indeed happy as it meant that he would be alone assigned personnel to her for the duration.

"-oichi San ?"

He was broken out of his thoughts by Kushina's voice.

"Ah, Kushina-sama, would you please repeat the question again? Sorry I was a bit lost on the projections shared by you."

As he sputtered a bit, spitting out the first excuse that came out of his mind. He sighed in relief when he saw Kushina pointing her fingers to the numbers printed on the documents in front of her.

"I said," So these numbers calculated by your team are correct, right ?"

Nodding his head in approval, "Indeed, Kushina-sama, when we got the final number, we were surprised, and we double-checked the total. And Further, I personally questioned the chunin filing the numbers in case there was some mistake miscalculation from their end. Still, I have been assured that all records filed are legitimately legitimate as they are finally sealed and approved by Hokage-sama himself. "

As he pulled out several documents that were used in the calculations.

Kushina took those from his hands looked them over

"ah, it seems this indeed is correct but still quite hard to believe. We have funnelled about 45 million ryo to Hot springs in the last 4 years."

Quickly placing documents down, She looks at him. "It seems we would also have to calculate Where and How these funds were used by Hot Springs. So next please find and bring all the reports sent by them, I want to see what all services they have provided us for this huge sum ."

As he was about to go, he was again interrupted.

"Also, do take those three with you. I think those three will be a huge help to you. Once you get this done, bring them along with you. I have some additional tasks for them. I will come and meet you all there in the Archives after lunch."

He wasn't sure, but he definitely felt a change in tone at the end of her dialogue. This Woman was definitely pressing his buttons for sure, even if unknowingly. As a man recently out of a relationship, he realized that he had a thing for dominant women.

Shaking his head, he quickly went out of the Tower. The Main archives department is located behind the Hokage tower. In Fact, it's one of few departments to have its own building. After entering the Archives building, He asked the chunin at the entrance if his entourage were there. As he got confirmation, he went through various sections of the department looking for the trio of genins. Soon outside of Konoha's clan taxation archives on the second floor, he found them.

The trio was clearly frustrated and a bit agitated. As Ryoichi nears them, he clearly hears their conversation.

"Damn you and your big mouth Baicho, if not for your big mouth and lack of subtlety, we wouldn't be here" The one on the left was saying, This one's name was Shinsuke.

"Yeah, I'm sorry again. How much will you cry on Shinsuke? I am getting more frustrated by your ranting than this damn mission."

The one from the shelf cried.

"As much as it pleases me to hear you two bickering, this is rather getting boring. Hearing you two morons to go at it. If I wasn't sure of your preferences, I would have thrown and locked you both in a room. But Shinsuke, you can't blame him alone. We all were at fault there commenting so loudly behind her back." this one was the third member of the trio named Haihuen. he continues further

" But I don't regret it. We were telling the truth, Kushina-sama really is one hot pack. If I get the opportunity, I will not leave even a piece of her unused."

Baicho laughs out, "True that man, for the past two days, she's been in my every thought and dream. Man, How I wanted to smack her ass that day or How I wanted my dreams to come true as I bent her in the archive library taking my sweet time with her."

Shinsuke sighs. "Why are you guys dreaming about the unattainable dream? She's way out of our league, and even if she was, I don't think she would even look at us. We are second-rate shinobis, and even if we ignore her status as deputy Hokage and yondaime's wife, she still is S-ranked kunoichi. Her ki alone would cause us to shit."

Haihuen groans, "Why are you such a party pooper Shinsuke, can't I guy dream? Besides, in the end, she's still a kunoichi, and I have the perfect Kunai to fit her Holster."

The trio laughs out

"That's lame Haihuen, But if any Kunai is to go there, it's definitely mine," Baicho remarked as he was about to add more. The trio was swished to silence by Ryoichi's voice.

"As much as I would love to hear about your Kunai and Kushina-sama's Holster. We all know reality, be thankful it was I that heard this, not her. otherwise, you three would be doing more menial job than this"

The trio shake their heads.

Haihuen was to reply back, " We only speak the truth, Ryoichi-San, and it's not like we don't know How you or everyone here looks at her. We made a mistake commenting in front of her. And you will agree if given a chance, you would not stop your Kunai from reaching her Holster."

The trio again laughs

Ryoichi shakes his head. "I don't think that's the point besides I have been assigned a new task, so I am here for you, and if you guys are lucky, you can report to her about this task after completing it" he quickly leaves, moving towards foreign archives section. Soon he hears scrambling sounds like the trio fumbles to quickly place scrolls back to shelves.

--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------

Meanwhile, unknown to all talks behind her back, Kushina was lost in thoughts of '45 Million Ryo' as maintenance and that too for a small nation like Hot springs. What they are using funds for seems like daylight robbery to me. I would have to ask Sandaime about this. he signed, this so he definitely should know more.'

Looking at the clock, noticing it's almost lunchtime, she quickly sealed up documents in her file. This was one of the original ideas that she had come up with for easy maintenance of archives. Sealing all relevant documents together. She had proposed it to Sandaime. He had said that while similar ideas were thrown in the past, they never came to fruition as not everyone was as fluent in using seals.

Moreover, there were civilians too that worked here. But he complimented her for it as the seal files could transfer files through the department if one liked. So, the sealed files were used by shinobis working here just to transfer documents and store them temporarily. It did beat the hell out of carrying stacks of paper from one location to another. Kushina personally secured all her work here rather than leaving it in her office or whatever desk she occupied that day.

Coming to a stop at Hokage's office, she got past the chunin assistant outside. Inside, as usual, she found Hiruzen folded over the desk doing paperwork as usual, Though she found it odd that the crystal ball was glowing a bit like it was recently used.

As Hiruzen looked up, He saw the vibrant face of Kushina coming towards him. He sighed in relief. Before she had barged in unannounced, he was busy watching action today at a waterfall in the forest just outside Konoha's walls. The said action being, A group of young Kunoichis playing in the water. Curse him or not, being stuck to paperwork, he was bored, so he took short pleasure breaks from time to time.

Speaking of time and looking at Kushina, he guessed it was lunchtime. For the past few days, she had insisted on him taking a break in her words, "If you don't eat properly, you will die early. I will not allow you to do so until I am ready to take over."

Kushina quickly moved over to the guest table, As she unsealed still warm food from a scroll and started setting up the table for two. Unknown to her as she bent over while setting up the table. Hiruzen stood up and started walking towards the table and got rooted to the spot at the sight of her pert bent-over form. He got almost caught staring as she took her place and looked towards him, and smirked. "Ara, Are your joints cracking up, old man? Do you require my shoulders to lean for support ?"

A tick formed over his forehead" I am not that old Kushina. It seems I would have to add a sparring session in our schedule as well. I will have to show you that these old bones still have enough strength to take tens of you ".

Not to back down from such a challenge, Kushina instantly retorts, "Any time, old man, Just give me time and place, and I will be there. I will show you why I am ready to take over you as I crunch some of your old bones and kick your old wrimpled ass."

Hiruzen takes his seat across from her and smirks, "You sure, I have wrimpled ass ?"

A tiny bit of red tainted her cheeks as she fought back blush" Of you have, you are as old as Konoha. It's like asking if ice has water in it."

Sagging his shoulders a bit as he leans forward to his plate, "It's not good etiquette to remind old people of their age Kushina. But of course, I would have to teach you that as I would make you eat dust. How about next Monday morning? You can come to the Sarutobi compound before coming here. I would add 15 minutes to my morning workout session."

Without waiting to take a breath, "It's on, Old Man, Get ready to be hailed 'All-powerful Kushina-sama.' You know what takes an extra week for preparation. I don't want you giving excuse later that your bones got rusty as well due to lack of practice." She tutted back, all while distributing food on plates.

Hiruzen chuckled. "Confident, are we? Guess we shall see." Taking a bite out of food, he hummed, "You know Kushina, you are a wonderful cook. Minato sure is lucky to have you as his wife but is unlucky to not eat food made by you daily. Eating your homemade food brings back memories of Biwako. She also used to bring food here knowing my nature."

At the mention of the late Biwako, Kushina's mood came down. Still, the memory of Biwako being struck by the masked man and her shocked face remained fresh in her mind. She never felt so powerless as she felt on that day, which sadly coincided with the happiest day of her life. The day she became a mother and Naruto came into her life.

Seeing her sad face, Hiruzen continued, "You don't have to be sad, Kushina-chan, Biwako wouldn't have wanted you to mull over her death. In fact, as a medic, she would have taken that mission again even if she knew it was certain death. "

Kushina stared at his face for a second, then nodded. "I know, but I never felt so worthless. Watching her die in front of me is a memory that I will live with. If I get my hands ever on that masked man. I will seal his chakra and then watch the life leave his eyes as I chop his body parts little by little"

Hiruzen swore he felt the room's temperature going down and saw her eyes turning a bit red for a moment. He had never seen this side of her. "No need to be so worked up, Kushina-chan. On a side note, what's your progress on the task that's assigned to you."

Her darkened face turned into a grimace as she spoke, "Ugh, Don't remind me. This data collection via Archives is so time taking and boring, not to mention so tiresomely. For the last two days, I have been getting through dusty documents and calculating the total amount given to Hot Springs, which in fact, itself is mind-boggling. Do you know Konoha has given them 45 Million Ryos in the past four years? They are looting us, I in fact-"

Cutting her rambling in-between, "I know Kushina, I for one had cut a deal with the envoy of Hot Springs." At her open mouth, he continues, "You see, Kushina-chan, since this war started, as you know, The small nations have suffered the most of it. For a country like Hot Springs, whose economy is totally dependent on tourism. Ever since this cold tension started at borders, they were one of few who suffered the most as civilian travel became restricted between the countries due to tensions. It came on the verge of collapse within four years of this undeclared war. If we had not stepped in to provide funds, they would have definitely looked up at another one of the Big Five ."

As if bulb lighting lit in her mind Kushina spoke up, "And we can't have a safe haven for other big villages in our neighbourhood. Right ?"

Hiruzen nods. "Yes, that and apart from providing safe passage to our forces. It also acts as a buffer space so that war doesn't spill into our borders. Also, the spies acting on behalf of them give us any information they come across. There are much more terms that I will have you go through once you finish this task."

Kushina made a plain face. "You are torturing me, aren't you, Old man. What's the purpose of this if you already know everything ?"

Hiruzen sighed at her impatience and spoke in a serious tone," the purpose is for you to learn about How treaties are made. Once you have numbers and you go through the treaty document, you will know precisely if the treaty was beneficial or not. If yes, what's exactly the cost of that? And in future, if you have to renew the agreement, you should know its importance and cost and then decide if it is worth it or not. Remember Kushina-chan, the past is the template of our future. We can't run from the past. We may change the flow of the future but not the past. So learn from the past whether it's good or bad."

Kushina nodded. "Now that you have used Hokage Persona, How can I decline this. You are no fun old man. You know what, I am not giving you any time for practice. Let's spar this coming Monday and place a bet on it. If I win, you will not give these roundabout tasks, instead explain to me a way that I understand things. If I lose, I will do things your way. "

Hiruzen places his hand on his chin "hmm, So if you lose, you will follow my orders then and be a diligent adult rather than being a brat" Kushina sticks out her tongue, "you know it's on .it has been quite some time I bet. Last I remember, I bet with Tsunade on her taking over Konoha Hospital under her care."

Kushina's mouth opened, then closed. "Was it the bet that made her take the hospital under her care ?"

Hiruzen nods. "Yes, Tsunade was quite stubborn as Minato had forcefully bought her here. She wasn't working as we desired, so I made a bet and won, and you've seen the results."

Seeing a thoughtful look on her face, he added, "Having second thoughts Kushina-chan, fear of losing to this old man now ?" He chuckled at the end.

"Oh no, Now it's on. I was about to go easy on you, but you have bought it upon yourself. Expect no mercy from me as I break your bones." She fired back

Laughing out loud, Hiruzen "Sure, I would love to see the power of my successor. I hope your actions match your words."

They continued to eat lunch with a bit of bartering from Kushina, who made puns at his age. Hiruzen had vivid thoughts like from one of Jiraiya's books where an Old Master disciplined his young student. As various thoughts and scenarios entered flowed through his mind. As a result, a perverted grin forms on his face. Which caused a shudder running down Kushina's back. She fired back at him, "Have you finally grown senile old man? who knew you loved so many jokes about your age database ."

As he came back from the fantasy world still Playing through scenarios with students' faces replaced with Kushina, he grinned as he looked at her. "When you come to my age, I have heard almost all jokes about age, Kushina. You forget I was young too."

Making an annoyed face, Kushina hmphed started packing up used plates and bento boxes.

Hiruzen continued, "Anyway, Thanks for lunch Kushina, Now that I am full and have had enough break, I better get back to paperwork. "

Kushina retorted, "But we just hardly had 20 minutes off, you know you should take a bit more rest and should walk around too, especially after eating"

"This work wouldn't be completed on its own in Kushina. As for walk, I have scheduled a visit to the Academy in about an hour, so that's covered. Once you are ready enough, you would also get scheduled visits to different areas of the village added to your Timetable."

Kushina groaned. "Only you would make a task out of a simple walking exercise. Anyways I'm out, will see you at the end of the day."

Without waiting further, she walked out of the office.

As she walked out of the door, Hiruzen quickly activated the crystal ball again. "Now, where was I? No, they are gone. Guess I will have to look for another area."

--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------

As Kushina came out of the Tower, nodding at various shinobis that bowed to her. As she entered the Archives building, Chunin Guards bowed to her. After making entry, she made her way towards the meeting room, which was located on the third floor. As she took the flight of stairs, she felt something odd with shadows. In a flash, she lashed out with her chakra chains, a Yelp of surprise was her answer, and she found a figure hidden in shadows. Not giving them any time to think, she kicked them in the midsection and bound them using her chains.

As this was going on, soon, the stairs on the upper and lower level were filled with several shinobis. A couple of ANBUs, too, made an appearance.

As she pulled the bound person out, it turned out to be one of Anbu's with a 'crow mask.'

"You, what were you doing lurking in the shadows here ?" Kushina asked while pulling on the chains.

"um Kushina-sama, I was taking my position for the shift-"

He was cut off by Kushina " I didn't know you had to move during shift. I sensed your movement and felt your chakra fluctuate as if you were planning to use some Jutsu. What were you trying to do ?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.

Before crow could answer an ANBU with Kuma mask answered, "Forgive him Kushina-sama, he's a new inductee, and he gets easily startled. Most probably, he got started by you and lost control of the shrouding technique to hide, which you felt isn't that right, Crow ?"

The bounded ANBU nodded. "It's right, Kushina-sama. Please forgive me if I startled you."

Kushina nodded and released him " Make sure you complete and gain enough experience with that shrouding technique before using it again, especially around High-rank shinobis. They could easily kill you in a reflex action."

Ending the conversation, She smiled and continued towards her destination.

As the crowd of shinobis dispersed, only a trio of ANBUs and Jounin Genma remained. They walked out of Archives and went to rooms designated to Jounins and ANBU only. Making sure they were alone, Genma spoke, pointing towards Crow masked ANBU, "You almost got caught. What were you thinking of? Startling her? It's thanks to Kuma we aren't in deep shit."

Crow quickly removed the mask as a disguise was removed. He turned out to be a man with Konoha hitai on a bandana with black round sunglasses. This was Ebisu, a Tokubetsu Jonin in Konoha's forces. "What other options did I have? I lost a bet, didn't I ?" He points fingers at each of them. "Damn, I regret coming to drink with you guys last night. I think she broke a couple of ribs from that one Kick alone."

As Kuma masked ANBU looked on, the other ANBU also removed the mask, and he turned out to be Genma's friend Aoda. Finally speaking, "As amusing it was seeing you getting kicked, I took huge risk-taking you guys in this bet. Tell me at least succeeded in getting the task done ?"

Ebisu chsked, holding his chest " Damn, you guys are heartless, first making me lose a bet then forcing me to do it. As for your question, no, I wasn't able to complete the task. I wasn't even able to look up her skirt, and you tasked me to click her upskirt pictures."

Aoda smirked and added," But you were so close. What happened ? You used to brag about your original shrouding technique to be able to fool anyone or How you used that technique to follow Kurenai" he chuckled at the end.

Ebisu shakes his head. "I don't know, man, maybe I got excited seeing her or my technique is not that good, I would rather not find out. I almost died. Kushina-sama is really scary."

Genma sighs " Forget the bet. It was fun seeing your ass get handled. From now on, brag about your technique or any of your conquests once you have fooled Kushina-sama."

As the trio leaves, Ebisu hears Kuma commenting, "She took him out in one Kick, That too without any enhancement or shinobi equipment. That was even faster than my expectations haha."

As he seathes "That damn red-headed hot bitch...curse log, I can't even curse her. I will show you all. "

With that, he too leaves the area.

--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------

On reaching the meeting room, Kushina found a trio of genins along with Ryoichi San already there. After greetings, she took a seat. Ryoichi came forward and placed a document folder in front of her "Kushina-sama, we checked for all the pertaining documents related to costs borne by Hotsprings Village. We couldn't find much but these. They, too, don't contain much about how they spent their budget. These are mainly other expenses that they have charged us for like shinobis breaking properties in brawls or of them using their services and failing to pay."

Kushina nodded. "I know, and I don't think we will find much in there. I Just wanted to check. As for the additional charges, they would have mentioned shinobi names which caused losses. I want you to list down regular offenders."

At this, Haihuen spoke up, "Who would be marked up as regular offender Kushina-sama?"

"Anyone whose name appears twice a year in the past four years."

As her charges nodded, she continued, "Ryoichi San, I want you to go to Jonin Commander Shikaku Nara San and get the privileges and list of activities that our shinobis use in Hot Springs, If he asks for clearances. Ask him to prepare documents I will personally collect from him" she quickly took out a scroll, wrote a quick message, signed and sealed it. As she handed Ryoichi the scroll, she spoke again, "Ask him to read this scroll in front of you as you deliver the message."

As Ryoichi left, leaving genins temporarily under her direct charge. Kushina looked at the three while they squirmed under her gaze. She smirked, "So how goes cleanup work? I hope you're doing it properly without maligning it with your talks."

Shinsuke was the first one to speak, " We are sorry Kushina-sama, It wasn't our motive - "

Kushina cut him off all the while glaring, " cut the crap, I have dealt with perverts worse than you. So this will be only a warning next time you would be thrown out of the archives department and shifted to the Ronin department".

The trio shuddered at the name of said department. It was said to be the worst department to work for if you were lower rank. Usually, the bottom of the pass-outs from the academy who didn't quit the shinobi program were sent there. It was either that or dropping out of the shinobi program. The worst thing was the civilians, and low-level shinobi inmates were also thrown here. With jobs being thrown to them were like menial D ranks to dangerous ones like scoping out traps by literally moving through the said area. Usually, shinobis were punished for insubordination by assigning them to this.

The three shouted in unison, " We are sorry, Kushina-sama, we shall not repeat it."

Kushina nodded " Good, now that's out of the way. Let's get onto the next task. I want a copy of our agreements with Hot Springs country in the past four years. Since each agreement is at least amended once a year. I want to see How many times and what changes were made. The latest agreement only gives in brief of the changes made" The trio nodded, and Kushina continued, " Good, I will also come. Lead the way. I will be there shortly."

The trio led by Haihuen made their way to the Archives library. There was another thing Kushina wanted to do. She wanted to make fuinjutsu based indexing of whole archives so that anyone with control of the index could access the entire library. Of course, it would have security measures, but it was a personal pet project for her right now. Another benefit of indexing was she would be able to access required information quickly. She rose up from her seat and started her way to the archives' library.

Ryoichi, after leaving the meeting room, quickly made his way to the Shinobi corps office. As he made his way to Jonin commander's office, he saw various shinobis scattered throughout the area, busy dilly-dallying with their jobs. He couldn't help but feel jealous of them for working here. On reaching Jounin Commander's office, he found out he was not there. After questioning, he finally got his location from one of the ill-looking Shinobi named Hayate.

On reaching the given location that was the roof of the shinobi corps building, he found Nara San lying on the ground, hands folded behind his head, looking up in the sky. Ryoichi couldn't help but sweatdrop at the scene. He had heard tales of laziness of the Jonin commander, but this was the first time seeing this.

Cutting the silence, he started "Nara Sama" seeing no response from him, he repeated, "Nara Sama, I have a message to you from Kushina-sama."

On hearing Kushina's name, he broke his gaze from the sky and tilted his head towards him, still not standing up. As if judging if he was lying or not, he finally spoke, " Troublesome, so what's the message ?"

Ryoichi quickly regaled the message as Shikaku listened. Once he was finished, he spoke from the same position while using one hand to massage his head. " Troublesome, Tell her it will be done."

Ryoichi nodded " Thanks, Nara Sama, she also asked me to give you this." As he took out the scroll from his pocket and moved towards him for handover.

Shikaku took the scroll and quickly unsealed it. As he read, beads of sweat started forming on his forehead. He groaned and promptly stood up and moved towards the stairs before turning to him. "Tell her it would be done. She can pick it by evening." and made his way down the stairs with him following.

Though he did hear muttering from Nara ahead of him, "That woman really is so troublesome. What a drag."

Ryoichi couldn't but sweatdrop at a sudden turn in his behavior. He wondered what was really written on that note to get even a lazyass person like Nara San to move so enthusiastically.

Unknown to everyone but Kushina and Shikaku, the content of the note was as follows.

Hey Lazyass,

Get up and move fast if you don't do my task ASAP. I will unleash Yosino on you.

-Kushina

--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------

Meanwhile, as trio genins came near the archives' library. They couldn't help but hear a group of Kunoichi gushing about Kushina.

The one in the middle speaking, " Did you hear Kushina-sama just brought down an ANBU in just a kick. She is so cool, powerful, and beautiful. "

The other one quickly answered " of course she did, but I was told there was the trio of ANBUs, and the other two had to come to rescue the first one from his foolish adventure."

Then another one spoke up, " Could it be a new training program for ANBUs by Kushina-sama ?"

Another one said, " That definitely seems like it. But still Kushina-sama

making a trio of ANBUs retreat with one kick has to be some kind of record."

As the genin trio entered the Library, Baicho spoke up, " do you think it's true ?"

At this, Shinsuke smirked. "What? Scared Now? having double thoughts about all those proclamations ?"

Haihuen interrupted, "Quit it, you two, We know she is scary, so it's most probably true she is to be next Hokage, not just for her looks or have forgotten her warning ?"

As the other two got stiff, Haihuen continued, "I say we don't come in her radar again," that he moved towards the documents section of the library.

Baicho nodded "I don't say she's isn't scary, but that makes me want her more."

Soon they reached the required area and spread over to search for the documents. They were busy with work.

At this, Kushina entered, the Archives library in charge on duty quickly stood up and greeted her. After a brief introduction on his part, Soon Kushina was in the area where genins were busy.

After getting the required documents of the treaty, Kushina took them to a table and unsealed them not before assigning the genin trio to the Archives in charge. Who quickly got them into the task of getting Archives in proper arrangement. Especially arranging bundles of scrolls lying haphazardly.

After going through the first agreement, she was surprised to see the amount being 25 million Ryo, and there were eight amendments till now. The deal here only mentioned the economic side of things. For better understanding, she would have to study the documents from Shikakus. From the looks of it looked like the negotiations between Konoha and Hot Springs country had reached a bit of a stretch. And soon, there would be another amendment. Maybe that's why Sandaime had assigned her to study these.

While this was going on, Ryoichi, who had just got free from Shikaku, on the way he too got hit by a gossip mill on how Kushina-sama beat a team of ANBU with just one kick.

Arriving at the archives' library after he forwarded a message from Nara-san to Kushina. He was dismissed by her, but he was still curious about the note she had sent. So he bought a bit of courage and said, "Kushina-sama, what was in that note? I've never seen someone do a flip in an activity as fast as Nara san did after reading that message."

Kushina smirked and laughed a bit "oh nothing, that was a bit of reminder to Shikaku san, a reminder of recuperation if he doesn't do my task" she laughed again, muttering something about "it's still the same after these many years."

Ryoichi pondered a bit then went away. While he came back to genin trio, who were being overseen by Kazuya san, the library in charge of today as they worked on arranging scrolls. Smiling at the sight, he approached the in charge. "Kazuya san, let me watch them. You can do some other job."

Kazuya, a veteran of being in the archives department, looked at him for a few seconds then nodded " Thank you, Ryoichi Kun, you do remember how scrolls are arranged, right?"

Nodding at the veteran, "Yes, Kazuya san." Seeing as Kazuya left to take his position behind the desk. Ryoichi focused his attention on his charges. He looked in amusement as Baicho, who stood up a ladder with Shinsuke providing him scrolls to compile on. While on a nearby desk, Haihuen was sorting out the scrolls according to their contents.

He made his way towards Haihuen. Nearing him, he took a seat and started to look at his work. As he too began sorting the scrolls, he spoke, "So it's library management for today, huh?"

Haihuen looked up. "Ah Ryoichi san, you are back. Yes, it's boring but it still beats out dusting the whole department."

Ryoichi nodded and continued working in silence. They could still hear the muffled discussion between Baicho and Shinsuke, who had now come to a shelf near them.

--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------

Kushina was going through the various agreement documents when a sudden curiosity raised its head in her mind, curiosity about the agreement between her birthplace Uzushiogakure and Konohagakure. While knowing that deal had no value now as there was no Uzushio, she still wanted to know. Further, she was eager to look into how agreements were signed between different clans to form Konoha.

Sealing the agreements and other documents, she moved in search of Kazuya, the in-charge here.

Soon reaching where she had last seen him overwatching the genins, she was surprised to see Ryoichi working with them.

Breaking the almost pin-drop silence, she almost startled them, speaking up," Ah Ryoichi san, you are still here?" then looking at him working" and also helping your charges, you really are diligent. "

Both Haihuen and Ryoichi got up, and Ryoichi somehow prevented himself from blushing on his praise but could not help as a smile formed on his face. As Kushina waves them to be seated, they retake the seats.

"Thank you, Kushina-sama, you are too kind. Well, I am assigned to these three as well for the duration. So I can't leave them when I am free, can I?"

Chuckling at his response, Kushina continued," it's good to see someone still holding standards." She looked at the genin trio. "These three can learn so much from you" behind their backs, Baicho was making glaring daggers at Ryoichi all while mouthing some interesting words.

"Anyways, I was looking for Kazuya san. It's good that I found you. I am looking for a copy of treaties made between Konoha and Uzushiogakure."

Ryoichi raised an eyebrow at that particular demand. "Kushina-sama, that's a really old agreement. I don't know if it's still here, but if it's not here, then it wouldn't be anywhere in Konoha. "

Nodding and replying to him, "I know, I know but reading these agreements made me think of those agreements. I am just curious about how the whole agreement between shinobi villages started, and it's one of the earliest ones that I could think of."

At this, Haihuen, who had been listening on, joined the conversation "Kushina-sama, that agreement as it's now void would be in Historical archives. That section of Archives is one of the biggest as everything that's either passed or not in use is dumped there. Searching through it will take quite some time. And that archive section has its own area. "

Ryoichi nodded and continued, "Yes, Historical archives, I forgot this section only contains recent agreements and documents. The historical section is so big that it covers two floors as of now. And some years back, two underground basement floors were specifically made for that."

Kushina's face became a bit disappointed, but she spoke, "But it's an important document. I think this area should definitely have a copy. If it's not, then I will think of accessing Historical archives. Guess I will have to confirm with Kazuya San."

Ryoichi got up. "No need, Kushina-sama, I will confirm with him." without waiting for her reply, he hurried towards the archives desk.

Kushina eyes the surroundings and looks up the task genins were assigned, all while picking up a random scroll, finally saying, "so how goes this task? I hope you will be done soon ?"

Sinkutsu replies, "Hai Kushina-sama, we will be done today itself."

Before she could question further, Ryoichi came back and spoke, "Kushina-sama, Kazuya San, confirmed that they have a copy of That agreement here, but it's the last of the agreements. If you want to access all iterations, then you would have to make a request with Historical archives."

A smile blossoms on her face "good, so which section is it ?"

Ryoichi shrinks a bit. "That's a bit of bad news as by checking the index Kazuya San knows it's somewhere in the agreements section but not the exact location."

Kushina shakes her head "keeping the disarrayed state of the library aside, point me to the section where it's located. I will search for it myself."

As Ryoichi pointed to a section with at least fifty selves, each having at least ten tiers. And there seemed to be at least six or seven rows of them. Her heart lurched at sight. Cursing internally at her big mouth, she quietly starts moving towards them.

She is again broken out of thoughts by Ryoichi. "don't worry, Kushina-sama, we will help here. Our task is not that big. Besides, there are lots of individuals here who come here in their free time. I think they too will be eager to search if you ask them."

Nodding at him, Kushina speaks, "Ok, you four come with me. If we don't find it in the next ten minutes, then I will call for help."

Nodding at her, the trio and one chunin quickly make their way to target shelves as each of them takes one each with genins again, muttering something inaudible among them.

Kushina, too, follows them and takes the opposite end of the row they were working. She was going through the scrolls and books from the bottom, she soon realized she wasn't tall enough to see the top racks. Looking around, she saw Baicho using a ladder while Haihuen was bringing in a stool while the remaining two of them were still searching lower shelves. As she looked around, she soon found a ladder. As she picked up the ladder and placed it against the rack. As she climbed on and got busy looking through the scrolls. She didn't notice activities from her minions.

Shinsuke was looking over the titles of scrolls for the aforementioned Uzushio scroll. As he was on the side nearest to Kushina, he was first to notice as she aligned the ladder to the shelf. As she climbed on the ladder, he signaled his immediate neighbor Ryoichi-san, who opened his mouth to speak but kept silent as he too got caught at the sight of her. Soon all four of them got busy gazing at her. Kushina, who now stood slightly bent forward on elevated about 4-6 feet from the ground on a ladder, one could clearly see the shape of her fit legs and tight rump in a tight knee-length pencil skirt. The scene was much more profound by her movement as she stretched for upper shelves causing her skirt to ride up a bit.

The four minions were busy gazing for around a minute when Baicho spoke, "Who wants to go there and smack that ass ?"

Haihuen was quick to retort, "only those who have an early death wish."

Baicho replied, "It's the death that I would gladly welcome."

Shinsuke tipped in, "Forget about smacking. How about just standing there at the bottom and holding the ladder ?"

At this, a pervy grin formed simultaneously, as if imagining themselves in that position. Even a typically composed Ryoichi couldn't stop it.

Shinsuke continued, "I say, Among us, Ryoichi-san has the best chance." Looking at Ryoichi, who was looking at him with a questionable expression. He continued, "See how she was impressed by you earlier. I think if you go, she will not suspect you. We are already lechers in her eyes," he completed after pointing to himself and each of his teammates.

Ryoichi opened his mouth to speak, but Baicho retorted first, "Yeah, dude, come on go. Take the position and tell if she's wearing pantyhose or stockings? Tell us what kind and color of panties she's wearing? Check if she wears garters or not? Go fast and gather the information. Don't miss this golden opportunity. "

As his teammates and Ryoichi looked at him with pointed eyes, he added, "What? I want to make her profile, so we can guess What makes her tick. 'Know your Target' you know that kind of shit. "

The remaining two of the trio, alongside Ryoichi, shake their heads before Ryoichi could reply. They hear a bit of screeching sound and movement looking left, and they see Kushina has come down.

Baicho spoke" opportunity lost, "pointing to the area. He added, "still, we have lots of them, be fast next time."

Their discussion was interrupted by Kushina's voice looking in her direction. "You four continue. I think I will bring in some help. If we continue like this, it could take the whole evening." with that, she went towards the main section.

"Damn it, opportunity lost. "Baicho added while punching his hands.

Haihuen spoke for the first time. "Yeah, Thank you, Ryoichi-san, for giving her the idea of asking for more help."

Ryoichi shakes his head. "Don't blame me, and you guys say as if it's my fault, and you are saying as if she would quietly allow me to hold the ladder while giving me a view up her legs."

Shinsuke retorts, "You never know until you try."

Ryoichi shakes his head. "Look, now it's done. If an opportunity comes in the future, I will try. Ok ?" As the genins nod, he continued, "Now let's continue with the task; otherwise, Kushina-sama would think we are wasting time."

As the silence again reigns in the area with occasional movement from the trio.

It would have been barely ten minutes or so. They heard a crowd come in looking in the direction of Kushina alongside Kazuya San leading around 20-25 shinobis to the area.

On reaching Kushina the section, she turned towards assembled shinobis "ok, everyone, first of thanks for coming. I am searching for a copy of the treaty between Konohagakure and Uzushiogakure. There's one copy in this section among the following shelves. Come on, go."

As the herd of shinobis shouted "Hai Kushina-sama" and moved into the section for search.

Kushina looked at the ongoing scene with a wide grin, all the while feeling proud of her using powers as deputy Hokage. She then turns towards Kazuya, the archives in charge of the shift. "The archives need serious indexing. I am assigning you a mission to arrange, sort, and index the archives. Once done, you are to submit a copy of the index to Hokage's office. Ok ?"

Kazuya nods. "Hai Kushina-sama, it will be done. It was long due. Usually, no one pays attention here as it doesn't contain any shinobi techniques or Jutsu. I am glad finally someone from the main tower took pity on its condition."

Kushina smiles. "Good, you can collect the official mission statement tomorrow from Hokage's office. You can take assistance from up to four genin teams apart from the ones assigned to me ."

Kazuya nods. "Thank you, Kushina-sama."

As they looked at the chaotic scene before them with shinobi crowd at task soon, they heard a shout "Found it"

As everyone stopped, a shinobi came forward with a girl about ten or eleven years old. The interesting thing to note is that both of them were wearing spectacles.

As he hands Kushina a scroll, Kushina speaks, "What's your name and" and she bends down to the little girl Who blushed at this attention "who's this cutie ?"

The shinobi answered, "I'm Raizo, Kushina-sama, this is my daughter Shiho. I work in the cryptanalysis department. Shiho wanted to see my workplace as she's interested in cryptography. But that department is off-limits, so I bought her here." As Kushina nods and looks at the girl, who quivers a bit and puts her head down.

Speaking to the girl now on one knee, "you know it's rare to have someone so young interested in cryptography. Are you in the academy ?"

The girl, Shiho, nods, "Hai Kushina-sama, I am in my final year, and after I pass, I want to join the Cryptanalysis department and want to develop new methods of delivering and cracking secure messages ." She shouted as she heard shinobis chuckling as she hid behind her father's legs.

Kushina nods "no need to be shy. You have a dream, work hard and strive to achieve it. And since you helped me find this scroll, how about I give you a tour of Hokage Tower with me ?"

As the girl looks at her wonder and amazement, his father adds, "Actually Kushina-sama, she was the one to find the scroll. I had overlooked it." he said while putting up a nervous expression.

Kushina smiles. "Then it's more than fair I give you a tour. How's that Shiho-chan ?"

Shiho nods and beams with a blushing smile "Hai Kushina-sama, Thank you."

Kushina nods. "Good, next time whenever you have a free day from the academy. Come here. I will take you along with me on that day."

As Shiho and Raizo nod Kushina stands up. She spoke, looking at all the shinobis. "Thank you all for all your help. If anyone has any problems at work, feel free to tell me. I am here for you ."

The crowd disperses with only her team and Kazuya remaining. Kushina turns to her team. "Thanks to everyone for your help. I want to tell you I have assigned a mission to Kazuya San to rearrange, sort, and index this archive. You all will be assisting him "she looks to Ryoichi "Ryoichi-san, you are in charge of these three, make sure they behave and work properly. Meanwhile, you can help Kazuya-San look for appropriate teams for this mission."

Ryoichi nods "yes, Kushina-sama."

Kushina nods. "Good, you can carry on with your tasks. I will see you tomorrow." She turns and moves towards the exit with Kazuya following her, leaving behind four shinobis watching her move, especially her waving mesmerizing behind.

Baicho was first to say, "did you know she's wearing pantyhose today, Damn she's really conservative despite being such a high-level Kunoichi. "

Haihuen asked back," How can you be so sure? And what do you mean by high-level Kunoichi? you speak as if you expect them to be shameless sluts."

Baicho fires back, "I am sure as I was paying attention to her, while she was sitting in front of that little girl, I was trying to get a look up her skirt, and I saw a glimpse as her skirt was raised a bit, despite her being careful. But all I saw was the same black translucent material. As for High-level Kunoichis, I know they are sluts. They will do anything for the mission's success."

At this, Ryoichi interjects," Perhaps you are confusing high-level Kunoichis with Kunoichis on a seduction mission. I know there are few Kunoichis like you describe. Still, a majority of Konoha's kunoichis are powerful in their own right and especially Kushina-sama. I will advise you to keep your mouth shut before them unless you wish cruel death" he shakes his head and continues, "come on, we still have a bit of sorting left." with that, he moves towards the area they were working with the groaning trio following him.

--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------

After exiting the archives department, Kushina went to the mission center after allocating an indexing mission charged at Hokage's office. She looks at the time as it's almost six in the evening. She sighs quickly, moving to Hokage's office to say goodbye to Hiruzen. She finds Sandaime has to attend meeting elders, shaking her head as she comes out of Hokage tower.

She enters Shinobi corps building, she moves in towards Shikaku's office while greeting any known face and nodding to those who greeted her.

Knocking on the door once she hears 'come in' as she enters and is amused by the sight of Shikaku, who is giving her stink eye, ignoring him she speaks, "How are you, Shikaku? I hope everything is alright at home too." she says in a teasing tone.

Shikaku shakes his head and speaks in a flat tone, "Everything was fine till you assigned me this troublesome task, Yes everything is good at home. Though Shikamaru does complain about Naruto pulling him in his pranks."

Kushina grins at his tone. "Haha, you know Naruto, he acquired those characteristics from me. Also, you didn't mention Yoshino. Do I need to come home to know about her well-being?"

Shikaku quickly shakes his head. "She is as troublesome as ever." he shuts his mouth and speaks again. "And don't tell her that."

Kushina laughs. "I will not, anyways. Is my document ready? "

Shikaku sighs. "Troublesome, I am still collecting all the documents. I think it will take some more time. I will send a word, or I will deliver it to you as soon as it's finished, so either by tomorrow evening or the day after tomorrow morning."

Nodding at him, "Ok, Shikaku," she turns back before adding, "No slacking off, or you know our deal."

As she closes the door behind her, she hears him groaning and muttering. Chuckling on the way out.

Soon she is out of the office area and traverses through the civilian section towards her home. She still is amused by how people greet her. Stopping at Ichiraku's, she greets the Father-daughter duo. Here 12-year-old Ayame cheerfully welcomes her. It still amuses her how the little girl is trying to be the hostess of the small joint. After packing takeaway for Naruto, she bids the duo goodbye.

On reaching home, Kushina is greeted by an excited Naruto as usual. He tells her about his day's adventure, which had him, Sasuke, and Kiba pranking their History class sensei.

After a brief discussion and dinner as it turned nine pm, Kushina tucked Naruto in for the night, much to his chagrin.

--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------

After taking showers, a visibly refreshed Kushina enters her room, clad in new bathrobes that she had bought last week with Mikoto. As the voluptuous redhead disrobes and puts on a short black nightdress forgoing underwear. The said nightdress was nothing but long satin camisole with deep cut cleavage and just reaching her mid-thighs. For the past few days, she had tried different items she had purchased and finally settled on this outfit.

She did know why but it felt liberating wearing this at home in her room, Though she couldn't tell Mikoto that. If that woman learned of her current state, she's sure she would have barged in. shaking her thoughts of Mikoto, she couldn't wait to see Minato's reaction to this outfit. She was sure he would definitely be lost while watching her in this.

And it was true, dressed in this short dress, with no underwear, her nipples poked through the clothing. If she stretched or bent, she would clearly give a full glimpse of her womanly assets to the viewers in front and the ones at the back. So in all this getup left very little to the imagination. It covered enough leaving the viewer to want for more. With wet hairs, she truly looked like a seduction queen.

Checking the time, she noticed it was only Ten, so she pulled out her document file and unsealed Uzushio's documents. Sitting on the bed while taking support from the headrest, she started reading. It had taken her some time to go through the list of changes made in this agreement. The document contained some new agreements for trade, but it also referenced previous agreements made by the two nations. Kushina sighed as she closed the document. Though she did notice a thing that this agreement was signed between nidaime uzukage, her grandfather, and Sandaime Hokage. Looking at the document before a few seconds again sealing it back, she took a long breath. It seemed she would have to visit Historical archives. After all, she hoped that section was less chaotic.

With nothing else to do, Kushina places the document file back before falling back onto the bed. Looking at the still empty side, she put a pillow on her side before overlapping herself over it, unknowingly making the dress ride till her waist, making her practically bottomless. It was not before sleep claimed her. If only her fans could see her now, they would definitely not leave without laying their claim on her.

--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH--------TBH-------

"No, not there stretch a bit more, Yeah just like that.",

Said a dark-haired man holding a ladder for a red-haired woman on the ladder.

As for the woman, she was wearing a short skirt, and under it, she was going commando. The man looking up had a clear view between the woman's legs. He had a wide lecherous grin on his face. "Yes, like that, put one leg on the topmost step. You will get access easily here. Let me help you," he spoke while helping the woman lift her leg, tracing his fingers till her thigh. His grin got wider as his view got much better. He continued as he felt a bit bolder at the woman's no action. "Here, let me raise you higher" with that, he pushed his hands under her skirt -

With a jolt, Ryoichi woke up and sat up all drenched in sweat. Looking around, he saw it was 1:30 am and sighed, "What was that? I need to stay away from those perverts. Otherwise, I will not be able to concentrate on my work. Still, what a dream? Was that really Kushina-sama? I wonder, will it ever turn true? "Looking down, he saw a full erection in his pajamas. "Well, it was real enough for you, hah."

After a brief trip to the washroom, Ryoichi laid back again on the bed. Scenes from the dream still playing afresh in front of his eyes. After many tries, he finally slept, hoping that dream would come again.
