outside the ward.

Yamanaka Yuji heard the door open, put away his thoughts, turned around, then quickly walked towards Yusuke with gratitude on his face.

"Yusuke, this time it's all thanks to you! If it weren't for you, the consequences for these three children would be disastrous..."

He held Yusuke's hand tightly, his words filled with sincere gratitude.

"Yuuji-senpai, you are too kind."

Yusuke sighed, his expression showing deep remorse, “In fact, I could have taken action before they were attacked.

I just want to see what choices the three of them will make when facing a truly powerful enemy. I was inconsiderate and put them in danger."

"That's not true, Yusuke, don't say that."

Yamanaka Yuji quickly shook his head, "As their teacher, we all recognize and support your teaching methods.

Moreover, at such a critical moment, you were able to let your powerful spirit beast take the injured children back to the village for treatment, and you chose to stay behind to cover the retreat and face the powerful enemy alone. We are very grateful for this friendship!"

Yamanaka Yuji lowered his head, the gratitude in his eyes growing stronger.

He secretly felt lucky that he had chosen a strong teacher like Yusuke for his junior. Although the development of this C-rank mission exceeded everyone's expectations.

The reason why Haiyi and the other Genin weren't allowed to take on this mission was because of the possible risks involved in the mission.

After all, it was impossible for every ninja village to thoroughly investigate the intelligence of every mission. Moreover, it was only a C-level mission.

If special personnel were assigned to collect intelligence, the expenses incurred would probably far exceed the value of the mission itself.

After a moment of silence, Yamanaka Yuji carefully took out a carefully crafted invitation from his arms.

Although they rarely show themselves as ninjas, and their children are sent to ninja schools to receive education from the village, deep in their hearts, they still have the pride of being a ninja.

The invitations they sent out were only given to those of noble status or powerful strength. The inauguration ceremony of the family patriarch was an important occasion to showcase the family's heritage and connections.

"Yusuke, we formally invite you to attend our three clan leader inauguration ceremony in a week."

Yamanaka Yuji solemnly handed the invitation to Yusuke and continued, "This ceremony is of great significance to our three families, although it is a bit grand. As our friend and the teacher of Haiyi and the others, please be present."

"Okay, I will be there on time."

Yusuke accepted the invitation without hesitation. He knew in his heart that he meant more to them.

After saying goodbye to Yamanaka Yuji, Yusuke asked and searched along the way, and finally found Tsunade's office.

"Dean's office!"

Yusuke sighed and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, Tsunade is doing much better than him. And every time he goes out on a date, he pays for it himself, and he hasn't received the reward for the last mission yet.

If it weren’t for the free labor helping me make money during this period, I might not be able to afford food, let alone save money to buy a house for my parents. How long would I have to wait?

After finishing his inner thoughts, Yusuke gently opened the door and tiptoed into the room.

Tsunade was seen sitting in her seat with her head down, seemingly having fallen asleep. In front of her was a half-opened book.

Seeing this, Yusuke immediately held his breath and quietly moved his feet, intending to play a little prank on Tsunade. However, he underestimated Tsunade's keen perception.

"What are you doing there, sneaking around?"

Tsunade still didn't raise her head, but her deep voice rang out clearly in the room, as if she had already seen through Yusuke's every move.

Yusuke was not embarrassed at all when he was discovered. He chuckled and strode forward to stand behind Tsunade. He stretched out his hands, gently placed them on Tsunade's shoulders, and began to knead them slowly and rhythmically.

"Um……"

Tsunade let out a satisfied sigh. Her eyes were still closed, but an expression of enjoyment appeared on her face.

Seeing Tsunade's relaxed look, Yusuke gradually grew bolder, his hands started to become dishonest, and his massage movements became more and more wanton.

Just as Yusuke's hands were becoming more and more wanton, Tsunade suddenly became alert.

She suddenly opened her eyes, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and she turned around quickly. Then, her sharp eyes met Yusuke's playful eyes directly.

Suddenly, Tsunade stood up with a swish, her eyebrows raised, ready to teach this shameless guy a lesson.

Yusuke acted quickly and never gave Tsunade a chance to explode. He opened his arms and hugged Tsunade tightly in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you, Tsunade."

Yusuke's voice was soft and gentle.

Tsunade's struggling suddenly stopped. She naturally understood what Yusuke meant by thank you.

Then, Tsunade placed her hands on Yusuke's chest, gently pushing him away a little, but not completely out of his embrace.

"What are you thanking me for? If I was in danger, would you abandon me?"

Tsunade stared into Yusuke's eyes firmly. At this moment, her eyes were filled with tenderness, as if the previous shyness and anger had disappeared.

Yusuke did not answer immediately. He just shook his head slightly, then hugged Tsunade tighter, put his lips close to her ear, and whispered: "If anyone puts you in danger, I will definitely make him regret living in this world."

"Well, I believe it!"

The two of them snuggled together quietly, and Tsunade's well-behaved appearance made Yusuke's heart instantly obsessed and intoxicated.

At some point, their faces gradually moved closer until they were tightly pressed together. Yusuke gathered all his courage and finally kissed her resolutely.

At this thrilling moment, time seemed to stop and freeze.

Their lips came into intimate contact for the first time, gently pressed against each other, with endless tenderness and deep affection flowing between them.

For Tsunade, this kiss came surprisingly naturally. The warm atmosphere made her indulge in it even more passionately. But Yusuke was a little too ignorant!

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound was heard. Tsunade angrily slapped Yusuke's hand away. It was not that she was not happy or rejected Yusuke's closeness, but she was not mentally ready.

She felt a little resentful towards Yujie. It was all his fault that he ruined the wonderful atmosphere.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help myself."

Yusuke said to Tsunade with his head lowered, like a child who had made a mistake.

Looking at Yusuke's pitiful appearance, Tsunade chuckled. Her anger, which had just risen, was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
