Chapter 100 I'm sorry, sister, this is the last time.
The two tacitly agreed not to delve further into the topic, and instead went to the Hokage's office.
At this moment, Hashirama was already slumped over the table, spitting out small white ghosts, looking as if he was about to die.
But when he appeared in Ningxia, he immediately regained his spirits and put on a hard-working appearance.
"sister……"
Tobirama covered her face. She didn't expect Hashirama to work hard at all; she and Ningxia were enough.
"Alright, let's hurry up and try to solve these problems."
Ningxia chuckled, already used to Hashirama's antics. Sometimes he wished Naruto could be as optimistic as Hashirama.
Perhaps due to her childhood experiences, coupled with her overindulgence in Naruko, she lost her original optimism and cheerfulness, and instead became somewhat withdrawn and indifferent.
Of course, beneath her seemingly aloof exterior, Naruko is essentially a kind and good child.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted this outsider so quickly after learning that his family had died just like his own.
Seeing that Ningxia seemed to be reminiscing about something, the two women exchanged a knowing glance. They were very curious about Ningxia's past, but Ningxia remained silent.
So far, they only know that Ningxia knows an Uchiha named Shisui through Madara.
Damn it... Who exactly is this Shisui?! How did he manage to make Ningxia so concerned?
"Sorry, I was thinking about some things from the past. Let's get back to work."
Ningxia smiled, offered no explanation to the two women, and buried herself in her work.
"..."
At this time, Konoha was in a state of disrepair, and many families even traveled long distances to seek refuge with Konoha. There were also contacts and negotiations with various parties.
Hashirama can handle the most basic tasks; the more complex ones are left to Ningxia and Tobirama.
They were busy until evening when Hashirama suggested they go to the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant for a meal.
"That light..."
"It's alright, I had the Anbu tell Itama that she's eating there today."
Tobirama spoke quickly, for to her, he was just one of the very few Uchiha who looked pleasing to the eye.
However, there is a very serious problem: it is too attached to Ningxia.
Ningxia carries light with her almost every day, and light never leaves Ningxia casually. Even when she has a boring job, she just finds a corner to play with her fingers to pass the time.
It can be said that neither I nor my eldest sister were able to build a closer relationship with Ningxia this year; we bear the main responsibility.
Today, having finally managed to separate Hikaru and Ningxia, Tobirama naturally didn't want any more accidents to happen.
"All right……"
Seeing that Tobirama had said so, and Hashirama was also looking on expectantly, Ningxia had no choice but to agree.
The three of them went to the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant together, greeting Hashirama along the way, and Hashirama responded to each of them.
As for Ningxia, she simply didn't want to show her face, so she simply wore a mask to cosplay as the Dark Guard, and the mask was the same rabbit as Yugao's.
After arriving at the barbecue restaurant, Hashirama rubbed her stiff face. She didn't dislike the villagers' enthusiasm, but having to respond to everyone was exhausting.
"Back then... we should have made Madara Hokage, and Tobirama should have been the Second Hokage..."
Hashirama transformed into a salted fish and lay down. Compared to using her brain, she definitely preferred the kind of battle where she could simply clap her hands and get whatever she wanted.
"Stop complaining... You're still the Hokage, so you should act like one!"
Tobirama frowned and scolded Hashirama for not behaving like a Hokage. Ningxia, seeing this, said that there was no need to be too harsh in a private room, since Hashirama had indeed worked hard today.
"Ningxia still treats me the best~"
Hashirama chuckled and stuck out his tongue at his sister, as if to show that Ningxia cared for him more.
Tobirama's lips twitched. What to do with an older sister who's all smiles on the outside but dark on the inside and loves to mock people?
To vent his anger, Tobirama pressed the beef tongue onto the grill and then used a fire jutsu technique with one hand to grill it until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Then it was stuffed directly into the mouth, as if chewing on a pillar.
Seeing that his sister was angry, Hashirama didn't dare to continue acting recklessly. He poured himself a glass of wine and took a satisfying sip.
Since Ningxia made it clear that she hated gambling addicts, she quit gambling completely and started using alcohol to relieve her stress.
As he drank wine and ate Ningxia-style roasted meat, Hashirama felt that happiness and contentment could not be greater.
If only things could stay like this forever...
With these thoughts in mind, Hashirama soon became slightly tipsy, and, swaying unsteadily, he pulled Ningxia along, beginning to do some rather extreme things.
Ningxia didn't care; Hashirama was the kind of person who had the desire but not the courage.
"Sister... don't affect Ningxia..."
But Ningxia soon realized something was wrong. This time, not only Hashirama, but Tobirama was also drunk. Moreover, Tobirama's drinking manners were much worse than Hashirama's; she liked to pull at her clothes.
"Tobirama, stop fooling around, I still need to take you back."
Ningxia frowned. For some reason, it seemed that all the secret agents had disappeared today, so he could only support the two women on either side.
Fortunately, the barbecue restaurant was not far from the Senju clan's territory, and in the dark of night, few people would come out at this time.
Under the cover of night, Ningxia carried Hashirama on her back and helped Tobirama all the way to the clan's territory.
Seeing Tobirama groping around beside her, Ningxia wondered if she was faking being drunk, but it didn't seem like it, so she decided to try using the Horse Talisman.
"Ningxia... Ningxia..."
Even as the horse charm dispelled the alcohol, Tobirama still appeared dazed and confused, as if he were out of his mind.
Her originally fair face was still flushed red, almost overshadowing the red stripes on her face.
Ningxia raised an eyebrow. Tobirama's acting was quite good. If he hadn't used the horse charm to dispel the alcohol beforehand, he probably would have been fooled by Tobirama.
"I...I...like you..."
Using drunkenness as an excuse, Tobirama finally confessed his feelings in a hesitant manner, and then leaned in to give her a sweet kiss.
The moonlight shone on her delicate face, and feeling the other person's clumsy yet sincere love, Ningxia was stunned for a moment. She wanted to refuse but couldn't, and in the end, she simply accepted reality.
The kiss wasn't long; perhaps out of fear of complications, or perhaps out of shyness, Tobirama was "drunk" after the kiss.
"..."
Ningxia whispered in Tobirama's ear, "So cute~"
With a breath of hot air, Tobirama, who had been fast asleep, trembled and bit her lip, trying hard not to cry out.
Seeing this, Ningxia stopped teasing them, took the two women home, settled them in their beds, and then left.
After Ningxia left, Tobirama immediately regained his senses, disregarding his shame, and used Flying Thunder God Technique to get to the Anbu.
"Lord Tobirama, the mission is complete."
The ANBU reported respectfully to Tobirama, though they didn't know why Lord Tobirama had ordered them to disperse all the passersby on a road late at night.
But Lady Tobirama must have had a deeper meaning in doing this, right?
"Yes, this mission must be kept secret. You can't tell anyone, not even if the Hokage asks. Understand?"
"This is……"
The Anbu couldn't understand why they had to keep it from Hashirama, but since the Anbu was established by Tobirama, they did have more say than the Hokage, so they didn't dare to say anything.
After everything was resolved, Tobirama recalled the feeling of their first contact and the warm breath on his ear.
She didn't even have time to think about why her drunkenness was fading so quickly, and murmured softly:
"I'm sorry... sister, this is the last time..."
