With different thoughts in mind, they finished two jars of soy - sauce flavored wine.
Natsuki drank a bit less and could still move by herself.
Both Kawaki and Tsunade were carried back to their respective rooms by servants.
Most of Sakumo's weight was on Natsuki, and the two staggered back to their room.
Sakumo leaned close to his wife's ear mysteriously and whispered,
"I've discovered a secret."
"Kawaki wanted to be the Hokage."
"Now he's giving the chance to Tsunade."
After saying that, he waited for Natsuki's surprised expression.
But she never noticed that her brother - in - law had such an intention. She thought it was more believable that he was helping Tsunade take the position of Hokage.
Have you ever seen a Hokage who likes to rua dogs? (Note: "rua" is a Chinese Internet slang meaning to stroke or cuddle affectionately)
Natsuki ignored her husband's crazy talk.
She supported him and continued walking towards the room. It seemed they couldn't conceive a baby tonight. His current state of low intelligence might affect the baby.
The night passed in silence, and dawn broke again. (Note: A Chinese idiom meaning that nothing eventful happened during the night)
Tsunade woke up in the guest room. She looked at the surrounding furnishings and realized it wasn't her room.
She reacted instantly and then looked at the bed. Fortunately, she was the only one in it.
Her clothes were neatly arranged. Nothing unexpected or surprising had happened.
After getting up and going out, she met Kawaki, who was wiping his hair with a towel.
He was bare - chested, and his eight - pack abs were very prominent. His short silver hair was wet.
There was a pleasant smell of bath on him.
"Good morning, Kawaki - kun."
"Good morning. I was just about to check if you were awake."
"Go and wash up. My sister - in - law has prepared clothes for you."
Kawaki removed the towel from his head and shook it.
Tsunade walked past with her head down and even forgot to ask where the bathroom was.
"Go straight and turn right. That's the bathroom."
Kawaki reminded her from behind.
"Okay."
Tsunade had disappeared from his sight, leaving only the word "Okay" echoing in his ear.
After Tsunade finished washing and came to the dining room from the bathroom, wearing a purple cheongsam.
Kawaki was stunned. He didn't expect his sister - in - law to prepare such a beautiful dress.
The cheongsam made Tsunade's figure even more charming, and her fullness was especially eye - catching.
Tsunade gave Kawaki a disdainful look and sat down beside him.
"It's not very suitable to wear this to the construction site for surveillance, is it?"
Kawaki took a sip of porridge. This dress was beautiful, but it wasn't very suitable for surveillance.
"I still have combat uniforms. I'll let Tsunade change later," Natsuki said in time, saving Tsunade the time to go home and change clothes.
During the breakfast, Kawaki's eyes hardly left Tsunade.
Finally, Tsunade, who felt uncomfortable being stared at, finished her meal in a hurry and pulled Natsuki to change clothes.
"You're too young. Your behavior is damaging the reputation of the Hatake clan," Sakumo, who had been sitting there like an old monk in meditation, finally spoke up to scold Kawaki. Was this useless younger brother so starved of women?
"What do you know? It's Tsunade in a cheongsam we're talking about."
Kawaki pulled at the fried dough stick. He had nothing in common with this older brother.
After breakfast, the same four people and the dog as yesterday went to two adjacent trees for surveillance again.
All the members of the construction team had arrived. It was not clear if it was because of their responsibility or Tsunade's intimidating power.
After about two hours of surveillance, there was finally some movement.
"Someone's going," Natsuki and Kawaki said simultaneously, one relying on herself and the other on the dog.
At this time, no one had come into view yet. Both Tsunade and Sakumo chose to believe.
They stared intently at the construction team on the site.
A three - man team soon appeared on the scene and started to negotiate with the construction team.
"It's someone from the Uchiha clan."
Tsunade saw the clan emblems on the shoulders of several ninjas.
"Sure enough, the Uchiha clan has also gotten involved."
Kawaki showed no surprise on his face. He had already anticipated this when he saw the approval.
The group continued to observe, but they could only see the people and couldn't hear what they were saying.
After the three - man Uchiha team approached, the only ninja in the construction team, a dark - skinned man, came out to negotiate.
"May I ask what the three lords of the Uchiha clan want?"
"What are you doing here?"
The leading ninja looked arrogant. In his opinion, a ninja who could only do construction work was barely a ninja.
"We are hired by Lady Tsunade to survey the terrain here. Construction of the hospital will start soon."
The dark - skinned man told the truth. He couldn't afford to offend the Uchiha clan.
"I see. This place is very close to our Uchiha Security Force. I came to check when I noticed some movement."
"You go on with your work. We'll be leaving now."
The leader waved his hand, and the three of them left directly.
The dark - skinned man was utterly confused. Was it really going to end like this?
Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it and turned back to continue the survey.
"What does the Uchiha clan mean by this?"
Kawaki was a bit confused. He frowned. Things were getting out of control.
"This place is so close to the Security Force. It's normal for the Uchiha clan members to come and ask."
Sakumo, with his limited thinking ability, obviously didn't find this unusual.
Natsuki didn't say a word on the side. She also felt that things were not that simple, but she couldn't tell where the problem was.
"What should we do next?"
Tsunade asked. Kawaki was still the one they looked up to.
"You stay here. I'll go and take a look."
Kawaki decided to go and find out by himself. He left the Flying Thunder God Technique on a tree branch and teleported away.
He quietly followed the three Uchiha clan members.
They were walking in the direction of the clan's land. Suddenly, Kawaki sensed someone ahead. The chakra felt a bit familiar.
He stopped and watched how things would develop.
The highest - ranked among these three Uchiha clan members was only a Chunin, and they didn't notice anything.
They just walked towards the clan's land on their own.
When they passed by a big tree, they were startled back by the loud whistling sound of a Sealing Demon Shuriken that fell from the sky.
"Who is it?"
The three of them stepped back at the same time, looking on guard. They formed a triangular formation and held their Kunai, vigilant about their surroundings.
Although the Uchiha clan was arrogant, their individual combat skills were quite high.
"The Uchiha clan is nothing special. Do you think you can touch our Senju clan's hospital?"
As the voice fell, a man in a black robe with his head covered appeared in front of them. His face couldn't be seen.
Kawaki was completely dumbfounded at this moment. Where did this Senju clan member come from?
"We didn't do anything. We were just asking normally."
The leading Uchiha ninja tried to defend himself. The person in front of them was not someone they could fight against.
"Give you a lesson. Stay away from the hospital construction site."
The man in the black robe didn't want to waste any more words. He flashed over and started to fight with the three of them.
Kawaki could tell that this person was not a Taijutsu expert. There were many flaws in his moves.
However, these three Uchiha ninjas still couldn't hold up against him.
In no time, the three ninjas were lying on the ground, each with some injuries. The most severely injured one was only hit by a few kunai in non - vital parts.
"Go back and tell your clan leader that our Senju clan is not someone you can mess with as you like."
After saying that, the black - robed man teleported and headed in the opposite direction.
Kawaki was now even more interested in this black - robed man who claimed to be from the Senju clan.
So he also concealed his aura and followed him.
The black - robed man wandered around the forest for a long time and then entered the Uchiha clan's land, disappearing from sight.
Kawaki didn't go deeper. Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated and interesting.
He stood there and pondered for a while, then activated the Flying Raijin and returned to Tsunade.
