After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

In the early morning, the soft sunlight shines through the transparent windows, softly falling like a golden veil, evenly covering the entire room with a layer of warm and soft light.

Yusuke slowly woke up from his drowsy sleep, rubbed his temple subconsciously, and felt that his head still hurt slightly.

He simply patted his face, rubbed his eyes, leaned against the head of the bed to wake up, then reluctantly got up, put on his clothes, and walked downstairs.

After washing up, Yujie found that his parents had already left, and only a small note was quietly lying on the table. He stared at the house he had lived in for a long time, and for a moment he felt a little reluctant to leave.

However, when he thought of his parents who worked tirelessly to travel back and forth every day, he made up his mind to buy them a house closer to the center.

Yusuke flipped open the note his mother left and found out that his mother had already prepared lunch for him. He only needed to heat it up before eating. In addition, there was a bowl of sobering soup on the table.

After putting the note away and fiddling around in the kitchen, Yusuke started to enjoy his lunch early.

After lunch, he simply cleaned up the table and then walked out the door without hesitation.

He strolled leisurely towards the Nara clan's territory, passing by some shops and picking up a few gifts.

The Nara clan territory is relatively small, probably because their population is not large. After Yusuke briefly explained his purpose to the guarding ninja at the door, the ninja quickly led Yusuke to the house where Nara Shikama lived.

"Yusuke!"

At this time, Nara Shikama was holding up the teacup, taking a sip of tea, then raising his hand and placing a piece, continuing the unfinished chess game with his son Shikaku.

When he saw Yusuke appear, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and walked forward with a smile on his face.

After Yusuke handed the gift in his hand to Nara Shikama, he raised his hand and scratched his head, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He really didn't know how to address Shikama.

It seemed that the two had never had a formal conversation. Yesterday, it was just Shikama's unilateral invitation, and they didn't chat with each other for a few words. However, after recalling Tsunade's words, Yusuke sat down a little stiffly, and then began to talk to him familiarly.

"Brother Lu Zhen, you didn't invite only me, did you?"

After chatting for a while, no one else arrived. Yusuke looked surprised and asked.

"Ah."

Nara Shikama suddenly stopped smiling and sent away Shikaku, who was making tea reluctantly and muttering about trouble. Then he stood up and bowed 45 degrees to Yusuke.

"Brother Lu Zhen?"

Yusuke was a little overwhelmed by Nara Shikama's actions.

Nara Shikama had already stood up straight, looking at Yusuke with an extremely serious expression. Yusuke opened his mouth, but his mind seemed to be confused, and he didn't know how to organize his words for a moment.

"Yusuke, actually, after the Wind Country War ended, I wanted to apologize to you, but I felt that this was not formal enough."

Nara Shikama spoke sincerely, and continued, "So, I had no choice but to stop you yesterday. Today, I formally apologize to you."

After that, Nara Shikama bowed deeply to Yusuke again. Yusuke finally came to his senses and hurried forward to support Nara Shikama.

"Brother Lu Zhen, I really don't know what I did that requires you to apologize to me."

Yusuke felt a little amused and helpless when he saw Nara Shikama's appearance.

"Because I suspected you were a spy for the Sand Village. It was you who leaked the whereabouts of the supply escort team."

Afterwards, Nara Shikama told Yusuke everything that had happened before.

"Haha, Brother Shikama, you really dare to think like this." Yusuke laughed nonchalantly and patted Nara Shikama's shoulder while laughing.

"However, your guess does make sense. I almost believed it."

With a smile on his face, Yusuke secretly made up his mind that when he had free time, he would visit Hatake Sakumo and Yuhi Shinku to express his gratitude.

As for Yuhi Shinku, needless to say, he has always been on his side; and Hatake Sakumo... might become his competitor, but if he can lend a helping hand to him when he is most desperate in a few years, perhaps he will get different results.

Looking at Yusuke's appearance, Nara Shikama also smiled slightly. This was just a guess, and it didn't cause any substantial harm to Yusuke. It was just that his attitude at that time might be a little inappropriate.

"So, Yusuke, what kind of compensation do you need? As long as I can do it."

At this time, Nara Shikama had returned to normal and was looking at Yusuke with ease, as if nothing had happened.

"Is anything really possible?" Yusuke said softly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Anything is fine as long as I can do it." Nara Shikama responded firmly.

"Then..." Yusuke raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, "Please treat me to a meal, and some wine!"

"that's it?"

Nara Shikama's face was full of surprise. He had already guessed in his mind what kind of compensation Yusuke might ask for, and was even prepared to bleed heavily.

"Yeah." Yusuke nodded and responded seriously.

In fact, just a moment ago, he almost proposed that Nara Shikama stand on his side in the future Hokage proposal. However, he changed his mind and thought that maybe it would take too long to wait until after the Third Shinobi World War.

Moreover, this was not Nara Shikama's original intention, and there were too many variables involved. If it backfired in the future, it would not be worth it. If you want to gain their support, you still have to take the right path.

"Okay!" Nara Shikama looked at Yusuke with a higher opinion and felt a little admiration for him in his heart.

"Dad, Uncle Dingmao and Uncle Yuji are here."

Just when Yusuke and Nara Shikama were sharing their experiences and views on the ninja world after meeting each other for a long time, Shikaku suddenly appeared.

"Yeah." Nara Shikama responded, indicating that he understood. Then, he reached out his hand, grabbed Yusuke, slowly stood up, and walked out the door, ready to greet his old friend.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw two adults and two children appear in front of me.

"Dingmao, Yuuji!" Nara Shikama called out, then turned his gaze to the two younger ones and said with a smile, "Dingza and Haiyi are here too."

Seeing this, Yusuke also hurried forward and greeted them. Just like that, after a brief greeting, Yusuke and the other four adults and Shikaku and the other three children walked in different directions.
