[Senju Tsunade's POV]

Troubles seem to always find you when you are having a good time. Just a month after the conflict in Kusa, we got ourselves into another conflict. We didn't cause it. It was the brainless bastard who didn't know how to enjoy themselves other than fighting.

Sensei and our Jōnin Commander, Nara Shikaku suggested immobilizing all Jōnin to Suna for a quick resolution of the event. Although that might be the case, I couldn't help but ask how they could easily discard the security of the village.

"It won't take long. Besides, we will have the Anbu stay," Sensei assured.

"What if an invasion occurs while our Jōnin are away?" I asked critically.

"I am more than capable of taking on some runts."

"But you are only one person."

"And you are underestimating our Shinobi too much, Tsunade."

Sensei was hiding something from me. He had no reason to be unreadable unless he was hiding something. I frowned but didn't pursue the matter. Continuing the discussion, eventually, Naruto's name was brought up. I had sent him into a war and he had done exceptionally. However, this time, I had a premonition when Sensei suggested his name.

I summoned Naruto and he appeared in the office with his Anbu gear. We briefed him about the mission and he agreed immediately. He would lead a three-man squad of Anbu and aid the Jōnin in Suna. His roles involved espionage, information-relaying, and infiltration. When all was said and done, I sent him to the Anbu headquarters to pick up his partners.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" I wondered aloud.

"He is already an adult, Tsunade. Let him explore the world," Sensei responded.

"Yeah, you can explore the world without killing anyone," I retorted sarcastically.

"Such is the life of a Shinobi…" Sensei looked out of the window with a faraway look. "Anyway, I will be returning to my house. This old man is tired, you see."

I waved Sensei goodbye and watched him leave the office. Despite having let go of his position, the man still looked like he was carrying a burden. The day passed in a blur and the sun finally went down. I went home and met Shizune with Karin on the way. Shizune had just finished her shift at the hospital and Karin had been learning Iryō Jutsu from her.

I wanted to teach Karin myself, but I rarely got time for it. As a Hokage, I couldn't be cooped up in the hospital, so my practice time diminished greatly. Letting Shizune teach Karin was the best course of action. It sparked some debate, whether it was all right to allow a formerly foreign Genin to work in the hospital, but nothing could precede my power as the Hokage.

"So, how is it going?" I asked.

"Well, I can operate now," Karin said contemplatingly.

"Good work," I praised.

"I wouldn't say so," Karin pouted.

"Why?" I wondered.

"Naruto-kun says I am going at a snail's pace."

That asshole…

"It is normal for someone who has a large Chakra Pool."

"Yeah, and he said that it was no problem for him."

That dense kid didn't know how to treat a woman's heart. Karin was exceptionally talented. I wouldn't expect someone with such a large Chakra Pool to be able to perform surgery after a month of learning Iryō Jutsu. On top of that, she was smart. She absorbed knowledge like a sponge did water. She was worthy to be praised.

I patted Karin's head to chase away her depressive mood. It worked but still didn't make her feel happy. We got home and were greeted by a surprising scene. Naruto opened the door for us.

"Naruto-kun!"

Karin launched at Naruto and hugged him like a koala. Her mood significantly improved; a perfect picture of teenage hormones. On the other hand, Naruto remained stoic. He was already used to the antics, so he only greeted us before inviting us in.

I decided to take a bath and Karin joined me. Shizune prepared dinner with Naruto. When we were done, Karin and I helped Naruto in the kitchen. Karin talked animatedly about her training and progress. Naruto and I opted to listen and comment occasionally. I wanted to say something to Naruto but decided it was best to do it later.

"Are you up for a drink later, Naruto?"

"Sure."

"Can I join too?"

"No."

"Eh, but I am already an adult!"

We ignored Karin and had dinner. After the dinner, Shizune and Karin washed the dishes together. I took out a bottle of sake and began to drink with Naruto. I wanted to loosen him up, so I let him drink more. Shizune and Karin immediately retired to their room after washing the dishes. The former wanted to rest and the latter wanted to learn more. Naruto's jab at her progress bothered her more than she showed.

Naruto quirked an eyebrow at me. The silence seemed to bother him. He always said he liked silence, but it didn't seem to me that way at this moment. But it could be because he could sense my restlessness.

"Are you hiding something from me?" I asked gravely.

"I can show you the monster I have been hiding in my pants if you want to," Naruto replied, equally grave.

"T- That is not what I am talking about, stupid!"

My face reddened. Ever since the happenstance in Suna, I kept imagining what that appendage of his looked like. I could feel it through his pants but didn't see it. I should have been bolder. He had touched every part of my body—still covered by my clothes—but I didn't dare to touch his member. I couldn't help it. Despite my history with Dan, we had never done any sinful acts.

"Pray tell me, then."

I sighed and my embarrassment faded. "It is about the proxy war in Suna. Don't you think something feels off?"

"Why?"

"We just concluded the war in Kusa. I don't find any reason for Iwa to stir up the pot after the fiasco. Don't you think it might be a decoy for something? Sensei should be able to see it. There should be a reason why he suggested the draft despite the risk it poses. Do you know something about it?" I fired.

"If you deem his judgment wrong, you can retract the draft, Tsunade. You are the Hokage, after all."

"Tsk."

I could confirm they were hiding something from me. It left me with no choice. I had to make him drunk. I kept pouring sake into Naruto's glass. I drank once in a while and purged most of the alcohol from my system. Naruto remained unfazed and that irked me. I took out my strongest sake. Not even good Chakra control could purge it out of your system.

We drank. Naruto took more than I did. By the time I knew it, my vision was already hazy. I was still conscious, however, so I could spot Naruto's slurring speech.

"Shiiit… diz alcohol iz ztrong, I tell you."

"Bwa bwa fwuh haah…"

"Keuk… what ze fak iz zat?"

We both laughed to our heart's content. We were wasted and I had given up on digging for more information. I decided to store the sake and retire for the night. I bade Naruto goodbye and went to my room. I felt hot, so I took off my clothes, leaving me with my undergarments. When I settled comfortably, I realized I was not in my room.

"Good night, Tsunade."

"…"

I didn't know what compelled me to do it—the sake, probably—but I pulled Naruto close and buried his face in my chest. Naruto enjoyed our session. I giggled because of his tickling breath. Then, I was aroused. It started by grinding. By the time I knew it, Naruto had already pulled my panties aside and played my lower lips with his tongue.

"Uh… I am losing my mind," I groaned.

My release came soon after. Naruto's wet face aroused me again. Then, my eyes landed on his member. Unsurprisingly, he was well-endowed. I pushed him down and returned the favor. I put his member inside my mouth and sucked it like my life depended on it. I failed to make him orgasm. He bent me over and used my other mouth.

We went at it for hours. I was glad Naruto's room had the silencing seal, otherwise, my unsightly howls would be heard by the entire house. I visited heaven more than I could count. Naruto came twice. The session left me powerless. My whole body trembled as the pleasure didn't leave it. I fell asleep in his embrace. It was the safest I had ever felt.

Morning came and he was already gone. Days went by in a flash. The reports I got from him told me everything was fine. Regardless, I got more anxious with each passing day. Maybe, I was addicted to his warmth. Maybe, I had seen signs that something bad would happen.

Boom!

"This Chakra!"

One day, a huge fight broke out somewhere in Konoha. I immediately got to move, but Sensei stood in my way.

"Tsunade, there is something I need to tell you."

The revelation made my heart sink to the bottom. By the time I knew it, I was already standing at Naruto and Danzō's battleground. He had succeeded in accomplishing such a difficult mission. But that didn't mean a good thing as he was now branded a traitor.

Our eyes met. A glint of mischief flashed across his eyes. I wanted to tell him not to go, but I was speechless. So, I watched him disappear. Hours later, I put a bounty on his head. I never wanted to beat an old man so bad.
