Tsunade was quite pleased with the name. Because it contained the character 'ka' from Sasame. It was easy to associate it with Sasame. The relationship between the two couldn't be made public for now. A similar name was already quite good.
"I wonder what her personality will be like?" Tsunade stroked her abdomen, a look of bliss on her face.
"It would be best if she was just like you," Sasame leaned in, placing his hand on her abdomen.
"She can't be too much like me," Tsunade said after some thought. "She also has to inherit your good qualities."
"She will," Sasame smiled, taking her hand. "After all, she's our child."
Tsunade said no more, leaning against his shoulder. The two watched TV together.
Night fell.
After finishing dinner, Sasame and Tsunade went to the rooftop. Snow was still falling in Konoha Village, and there was a cold wind. Fortunately, chakra was a versatile tool. After setting up a barrier, the two waited for the fireworks to appear. Soon, the sky lit up. Various colors splattered across it like ink.
Tsunade nestled in Sasame's embrace, saying nothing. For her, to have such a fulfilling life was a gift from heaven. She couldn't ask for more.
The night sky became dark again.
"Let's go back," Tsunade wrapped her arms around his neck. The meaning was self-evident.
Sasame carefully picked her up and carried her back to the room. The New Year Festival had ended.
The next day.
Sasame arrived at the Hokage Office. Along the way, people greeted him. He returned their greetings one by one, raising his popularity among the crowd.
Kurenai Yuhi knocked on the door and entered after getting permission. As usual, she wore a hip-hugging skirt, but the top button was unbuttoned, probably because she was in a hurry, revealing the deep valley of her cleavage.
"Sasame," Kurenai Yuhi greeted with a smile. "How was your day yesterday?"
"It was great," Sasame replied. "What about you? You must have worked hard yesterday."
"It was nothing," Kurenai Yuhi's heart warmed at his words. She had been a little upset that he hadn't come to the Hokage Office yesterday. Of course, not because he didn't work, but because she hadn't seen him. Now, with his greeting, that emotion suddenly vanished. After all, Sasame wasn't her younger brother; he was Konoha Village's Hokage.
"This is for you," Sasame took out a jewelry box.
"For me?" Kurenai Yuhi was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse. She opened the jewelry box. Inside was a necklace adorned with red gems.
"When I saw it in the store yesterday, I thought it would look especially good on you, Kurenai-san," Sasame said with a smile.
"Thank you," Kurenai Yuhi regained her composure, looking at him, her expression a little dazed. "I love it." A moment later, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. "I forgot to get you a gift."
"It's okay," Sasame waved his hand. "No need to give me gifts. I have too many; I don't even have room for them at home."
"How can that be the same?" Kurenai Yuhi's face became serious. "Other people are other people."
"If you must give one, don't spend too much," Sasame saw her insistence and said with a smile. "Something like a spiritual reward would be best." Kurenai Yuhi was startled. A spiritual reward? Was he hinting at something? Before she could answer, Sasame asked again, "Was there anything special to report yesterday?"
"There was one thing," Kurenai Yuhi immediately switched to her professional secretary mode and handed him a document. "It's from Konoha Hospital." Sasame's surprise flashed. What could be going on at Konoha Hospital? He opened the document. It was about the sensation caused by Orochimaru's White Zetsu cell technology. Sasame could understand this. After all, with the ability to regenerate severed limbs, the survival rate of Konoha ninjas would increase significantly. Of course, the purpose of Konoha Hospital was not to praise how amazing the White Zetsu cell technology was, but to ask Orochimaru to personally teach it. After all, this technique was quite difficult.
"Have Kabuto do it," Sasame thought for a moment and instructed.
"Kabuto?" Kurenai Yuhi took a few seconds to remember who he was. This was mainly because Kabuto Yakushi had been a recluse for many years and had barely shown his face. The fact that she remembered him was purely because she was a qualified secretary.
"Can he do it?" Kurenai Yuhi asked instinctively. Her tone held a hint of doubt. Sasame could understand her reaction. He said, "He won't disappoint you." Kurenai Yuhi nodded. She didn't trust Kabuto Yakushi, but she trusted Sasame.
"Then I'll go notify him now," Kurenai Yuhi bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Sasame casually flipped through the documents on his desk. After a long while, he stretched. Yesterday's matters had been dealt with, and he was temporarily free. Sasame thought of Mei Terumi. So he used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and appeared directly in the Mizukage's Office.
"What are you doing here?" Mei Terumi looked up and asked. For some reason, Sasame detected a hint of resentment in her voice. Upon reflection, it had been a while since he had seen her. Mei Terumi was currently in the "honeymoon" phase of a relationship. She was supposed to see her boyfriend every day. Having been left alone for so long, she was naturally angry.
"Just came to see you," Sasame said with a calm smile. "Am I not welcome?"
"No, you're not," Mei Terumi snorted. "I'm very busy. I don't have as much free time as you." The resentment remained. Sasame sat on the Mizukage's office desk. "I'm Hokage, and I'm busy too." Mei Terumi pouted. "At least you have more free time than I do."
"Why are we discussing this?" Sasame spread his hands. "We're both just working stiffs. It's a rough life."
"I'm the Mizukage, not a working stiff," Mei Terumi clearly disliked this term and said with a cold emphasis. Sasame didn't argue. She was indeed a career-driven strong woman. She was different from his other lazy partners.
"How's the new jinchuriki doing?" Sasame changed the subject in time. "If there are any problems, we offer warranty service."
"There are no problems so far," Mei Terumi glanced at him, a little helpless. "Be serious."
"Serious?" Sasame jumped off the Mizukage's desk. "You should be fulfilling your duties as a maid now." Mei Terumi was speechless. It was impossible for him to ever be serious. She shook her head, locked the office door, and walked to the sofa to sit down. Sasame naturally placed his head on her soft thighs. Mei Terumi reached out and began to massage.
"Master, is this pressure okay?"
"It's just right," Sasame looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but chuckle. "You really are well-suited to be a maid."
"..." Mei Terumi paused for a moment. "If I didn't owe you money, who would want to be a maid?" she said, displeased.
"Paying off debts is a universal rule," Sasame turned on his side, pressing his face against her abdomen. "You smell so good."
"Don't... say things like that!" Mei Terumi's face flushed with anger, and she subconsciously exerted more force with her hands.
"Hey, you're hurting me!" Sasame bluffed. "A maid like you needs to be properly disciplined by her master."
"You provoked me first," Mei Terumi's movements became gentle again, but the blush on her face didn't fade. This was because she could feel Sasame's rhythmic breathing, which made her very embarrassed.
"I just praised you for being a professional maid, and now you're showing your true colors," Sasame sighed. "You still have a lot to learn."
"..." Mei Terumi didn't know what to say. Oh well, so be it. After all, it had come to this.
Sasame shifted his body and lay down properly.
"Why are you so quiet?"
"There's nothing to say," Mei Terumi's hands had already moved to his face. It's quite soft. As expected of a young man's body.
"It seems you're having wicked thoughts." Sasame's eyes narrowed.
"No," Mei Terumi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly denied it.
"Your massage technique just now was all wrong," Sasame raised an eyebrow.
"..." Mei Terumi was speechless. How are you so perceptive about such things? You can even tell my technique is wrong. Why don't you use it for something more productive?
"It's fine," Mei Terumi said after a few seconds. "It's a new technique I'm learning." She would absolutely not admit the truth. Sasame didn't tease her anymore and enjoyed her massage. After a long while, his breathing became steady, as if he had fallen asleep. Mei Terumi looked down at him, her lips curving slightly. This is when he looks the best. She thought of what had happened before. Falling asleep in Sasame's arms. It was probably the most secure she had ever felt in her life. Without any worries.
Mei Terumi pursed her lips. If only Sasame were a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, she wouldn't have so many worries. The two of them could fall in love and get married. Mei Terumi stared at him blankly. She only looked away when Sasame opened his eyes.
"It seems it's time to get off work," Sasame straightened up, looked out the window, and said.
"Next time..." Mei Terumi wanted to speak but held back.
"What? You don't want me to leave?" Sasame leaned in front of her.
"No, I don't," Mei Terumi pushed him away, feigning composure.
"Alright then," Sasame just vanished. Mei Terumi was stunned. A moment later, she stomped her foot. She didn't even know what she was angry about. In short, she was very angry.
Sasame returned to the Hokage Office. He found Kurenai Yuhi sleeping on the sofa. He stroked his chin. He felt he should do something at a time like this. But he had lost his chance. Because Kurenai Yuhi had woken up. She was a ninja, after all. It was impossible for someone to get so close without her noticing. Unless Sasame had hidden his presence.
"Sorry," Kurenai Yuhi said, her face slightly flushed.
"It's nothing," Sasame sat on the sofa. "Sister Kurenai, you work too hard." He reached out and began massaging her feet. Kurenai Yuhi clearly hadn't expected his bold action. By the time she reacted, it was too late.
"Do you want me to take off the stockings?" Sasame asked casually.
"N-no..." Kurenai Yuhi quickly shook her head. She wasn't wearing thigh-high stockings, but suspender stockings. How could she take them off? Besides, she thought it was rude to be barefoot in front of the Hokage. After a moment, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but ask, "Sasame, is that enough?"
Sasame looked at her shy and flustered expression and chuckled. "Sister Kurenai, you can massage me, so why can't I?"
"That's... different," Kurenai Yuhi was momentarily dazed. She pulled her foot back and put on her high heels again. "I'm the Hokage's secretary."
"Oh," Sasame's lips curved. "What if I order you to?"
Kurenai Yuhi froze. She hadn't expected Sasame to abuse his authority like this. She met his gaze, then quickly averted her eyes in a fluster. After a moment, she said softly, "I'll obey your orders."
"Anything?" Sasame asked again.
Kurenai Yuhi trembled. "It... depends on the situation."
"Sister Kurenai," Sasame smiled. "You're not acting like yourself."
"I... I have things to do," Kurenai Yuhi fled in disarray, leaving Sasame with only a beautiful view of her back. He got up and clapped his hands, feeling pretty good about teasing his pretty secretary.
It was already dusk outside. He went home on time. Shizune had also returned from her mission. The gift Sasame gave her was a teddy bear. Although it was a bit childish, Shizune was very happy to receive it.
A new day. Sasame leaned back in the Hokage's chair, completely idle. A knock sounded. It was Mikoto Uchiha. Her face seemed a little heavy. She closed the door, then spoke directly. "I'm... I'm pregnant..."
"Aunt Mikoto, come here," Sasame was not surprised. From the moment she used her dōjutsu, it was destined to happen. Therefore, he wasn't as excited as he was when he heard Tsunade was pregnant. But he was still quite happy.
Mikoto Uchiha secretly sighed and walked up to him. Sasame pulled her into his embrace. "I'm sorry," he said softly. Mikoto Uchiha was a little confused. She didn't know why he was apologizing. But a moment later, she understood. She took a light breath, blinked, and said, "I... I'm willing." After speaking, her face flushed red all the way to her ears.
Sasame was slightly startled, noticing her hot skin, and smiled. "Is that the truth, Aunt Mikoto?"
"Yes," Mikoto Uchiha nestled in his arms, resigned to her fate.
"Thank you," Sasame stroked her smooth black hair.
"It's... it's all for Sasuke," Mikoto Uchiha said subconsciously. Her heart, however, was pounding strangely fast. Perhaps she really was a terrible person. Mikoto Uchiha sighed sadly. She had thought she would be a good wife and mother forever, but she never expected things to turn out like this. If she were twenty years younger and fell for Sasame, it would probably be a good thing. Mikoto Uchiha suppressed her chaotic thoughts and asked, "Can we just tell Sasuke the news?"
