Konoha Sheriff

"And he said it was okay!"

Seeing Tsunade in her arms pretending to be calm even though she was clearly full of worries, Beichen couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"We've come this far, what else is there to hide?"

"I……"

Tsunade clearly felt Beichen's emotions. She didn't feel angry. On the contrary, the sweet success that emerged in her heart suppressed the original bitterness a lot.

For Beichen to say this at least shows that he really cares about himself, rather than being impulsive or just for fun.

Facing Beichen's probing gaze, Tsunade finally chose to tell the truth:

"I just don't think there's a future between us."

"What are you talking about!"

Beichen stood up and did not look at Tsunade's exposed spring. Instead, he looked directly into Tsunade's eyes and said:

"Do you think I was just manipulated by my lower body to do such a thing to you?"

"I didn't mean that." Tsunade tilted her head, avoiding Beichen's serious gaze and said:

"I mean, there's such a big age difference between us."

"If I really cared about that kind of thing, I would have kept a good distance from you from the beginning."

Beichen said and gave Tsunade a hug again:

"Now that I have made such a decision, I will never regret it."

Listening to Beichen's firm words, Tsunade's eyes were already filled with tears.

Such a promise is worth more than a thousand words to her.

But she did not choose to give up this topic. In fact, she knew better than Beichen that if some things were not drawn clearly at the beginning, it would only become more and more troublesome in the future, and the relationship between the two would gradually become more and more complicated. Far fuse.

Tsunade didn't want to see that day come, so she would rather suffer the temporary pain now.

Although she may not be able to bear the pain...

"I'm glad you can say that, but the matter between you and me is not just a matter between the two of us."

Tsunade's words were very convoluted, but Beichen understood Tsunade's meaning immediately and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He knew what Tsunade meant.

He himself was the Uchiha clan leader and the police minister of Konoha, while Tsunade was the fifth generation Hokage of Konoha. Their identities meant that their relationship could not be made public.

The Fifth Hokage and the Police Minister, who are nearly 30 years apart in age, come together. The pressure of public opinion will definitely crush them both. The relationship between them may even turn the entire Konoha into the entire ninja world. The laughing stock.

By then, no matter how good they are at governing Konoha, it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied with them because of outside voices.

For a while, even Beichen didn't know how to speak.

He could only quickly think of solutions in his mind while hugging Tsunade tightly to prove his determination.

After a long time, Beichen finally spoke:

"We can just hide this relationship temporarily, anyway, we have stipulated the Hokage's term of office before.

When the term is up, I will hand over the position of Uchiha clan leader to Shisui. The two of us can leave Konoha directly and start living again in a place where no one knows us.

Anyway, with our strength, it is very easy to rush back here if something happens in Konoha, and there is no way to delay anything by going back and forth. "

This is the only solution Beichen can think of.

But even so, Tsunade must be wronged in the next time.

Hearing Beichen say this, Tsunade couldn't help but smile on her face. Beichen's willingness to say that he would retire with her after his term was over really made her heart melt.

However, Beichen still thought too little.

Finally, Tsunade made a decision in her heart.

"Beichen..."

"Ok?"

"Find another woman, one who can make your relationship public and accept everyone's blessings..."

The moment he heard this, Beichen's body couldn't help but stiffen, and he looked at Tsunade in astonishment:

"What do you mean by that?"

Tsunade looked at Beichen, and suddenly she hugged Beichen's head from behind and pressed her into her arms:

"Don't look at me like this. I can't be your wife. This is destined, whether it's because of status, age, or any other reason..."

"No, I can..."

Beichen wanted to say something more, but was rudely interrupted by Tsunade.

"I know you are serious about me. I will never doubt this. I love you as much as you love me. But because of this, I cannot allow myself to accept all your sacrifices willfully and with peace of mind.

You are the leader of the Uchiha clan. You should have a bright future and become a man admired by the entire ninja world.

I cannot allow my existence to ruin everything you should have, and besides..."

Having said this, Tsunade smiled bitterly:

"I, at my current age, can't even give you a child to carry on the family lineage."

Beichen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Tsunade suddenly mention such a distant topic.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that Tsunade would think of such a long-term thing.

"Actually, I don't care about this kind of thing..."

Tsunade once blocked Beichen's words:

"Don't say that. As the leader of the Uchiha clan, you have the responsibility to continue the excellent bloodline of your family. This is not only responsible for you, but also for your family, and even for Konoha."

After all, Tsunade is still a member of the ninja world, and her thoughts are different from Beichen's.

She hoped that Beichen would have his own children and have outstanding descendants who could inherit his talent, inherit the Uchiha, and inherit their will to protect Konoha.

This is also the duty that she, the Hokage, should fulfill, isn't it?

"But, but...I can't give up on you..."

"I never wanted you to give up on me."

Tsunade smiled extremely softly:

"My life, my life has become inseparable from you. I can't imagine what life would be like without you."

"Then why do you still say that?"

Beichen's brain was short-circuited, and he found that he seemed to be unable to keep up with Tsunade's thoughts.

"There is no conflict between the two, right?"

Finally, Tsunade said something that made Beichen feel his world exploded.

"It may seem very shameless to say this, and it may be unfair to the girl, but this is the best way to maintain our relationship without letting you lose everything, isn't it?"

At this point, Tsunade couldn't help laughing:

"For you to find me as your real wife on the surface, but secretly still want to share you with that girl, I am really a shameless woman."
