Kapitel 161: Chapter 162 : Kissed?
Kazuhiko felt a surge of joy as he observed the expressions of extreme satisfaction on their faces.
The first elder and those beside him exchanged glances, nodding in agreement without uttering a word.
"Fear not, Your Majesty. I assure you that the pact between the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans has been solidified this time."
"Even though the clan head lost consciousness, we affirm that the Uchiha-Uzumaki alliance has been verbally confirmed," stated the elder from the Uchiha clan confidently after receiving positive responses from his peers.
Kazuhiko, surprised by the precision of the assurance, appreciated the efficiency of the Uchiha clan.
"Excellent! I trust that the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans will forge an alliance, ushering in a new future!"
The group continued their journey, leaving trees in their wake.
Upon reaching a fork in the road, Kazuhiko bid them farewell.
Kazuhiko no longer held back, transforming into a ball of golden light and swiftly heading towards the Senju clan.
Kazuhiko's speed was unparalleled, far surpassing the deliberately slowed pace of the elders and Uchiha members.
Unleashing his full speed, Kazuhiko arrived directly at the entrance of the Senju clan, astonishing the ninja guards stationed there.
In the eyes of the relieved Senju guards, the golden light coalesced back into the familiar form of Kazuhiko.
Observing the distinguished guest's arrival, the guards nodded with a smile, allowing Kazuhiko to enter.
Choosing not to rush in, Kazuhiko conducted himself with courtesy. Though he could have entered without notice, he respected the propriety of being a guest.
Each step taken towards the Senju clan was deliberate, and the ninja guards chatted in amazement.
"What kind of ability is that? It's incredibly potent—I couldn't even react, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Senju family."
"Yes, his speed is terrifying. I turned around and saw the Uzumaki clan head immediately!"
"Rumors say the clan head in Konoha is hailed as the new god of the ninja world!"
"That's what I've heard too. And these days, he's been residing in a small courtyard with Princess Tsuna (bffh)... You know..."
The Senju ninja spoke playfully, glancing around before continuing their hushed conversation.
"If it's true... the marriage... that would be incredible..."
Laughter filled the air as the ninja discussed the possibilities.
Kazuhiko refrained from immediately informing the Uzumaki clan elders about the alliance with the Uchiha.
As mentioned earlier, when he initially brought up the idea, they dismissed it as a joke.
"Let them rest peacefully. I'll inform them tomorrow about the Uchiha alliance..."
Kazuhiko proceeded directly to the familiar Sakura flower courtyard.
Upon entering the familiar courtyard, a wave of inexplicable peace washed over me, like a chick returning home.
"Squeak..." The door creaked open, and Kazuhiko pushed the gate of the small courtyard.
With a joyful glint in his eyes, Kazuhiko entered. Tsunade sat on the floor of her hut, directly across from him, smiling as she watched him.
Whenever Kazuhiko visited the Senju clan, especially at night, he rarely activated Observation Haki. After all, during these quiet nights, one might inadvertently catch some embarrassing "Um ah..." sounds.
Closing the door behind him, Kazuhiko hastened towards Tsunade, her figure reflecting in his eyes.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Just got back."
Tsunade and Kazuhiko spoke simultaneously, both breaking into laughter.
Tsunade, who had been sitting for too long, attempted to stand up, "Whoops..."
Unexpectedly, her feet, numb from prolonged sitting, betrayed her, and she stumbled.
Reacting swiftly, Kazuhiko stepped forward, embracing Tsunade.
The two locked eyes, a wordless exchange lingering between them.
Tsunade felt her heartbeat quicken, her face turning a shade redder.
Finally, after a prolonged moment, a gust of wind swept by, showering the pair in Sakura petals.
As if struck by electricity, Tsunade quickly withdrew, turning her head, unable to meet Kazuhiko's gaze directly.
"You're back."
Kazuhiko still wore a smile, his eyes ablaze as he looked at Tsunade.
"Yeah, I'm back. And you, why aren't you sleeping?"
"Don't tell me staying up late is bad for your skin..."
Hearing Kazuhiko's playful reproach, Tsunade pouted.
"I stayed up waiting for you... You've been away for so long."
Tsunade mumbled with a flushed face, her gaze shifting to Kazuhiko's attire.
Only then did she notice the white robe he wore, slightly damaged underneath. This was the first time Kazuhiko faced off against the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō. In the heat of the final confrontation, he hadn't prioritized protecting his own clothes, and the inner garments were already scorched.
Kazuhiko paid no mind to it, but Tsunade, catching the detail at a glance, couldn't help but notice.
"You went to the Uchiha clan to spar with them? Change your clothes; we can't have you walking around like that."
Tsunade approached and swiftly helped Kazuhiko change his clothes.
"It wasn't a real battle, just a friendly competition with their clan head. Of course, I emerged victorious. No need to worry; I'm unharmed."
Kazuhiko complied with Tsunade's request, raising his hands obediently to remove his clothes.
Without any awkwardness, Tsunade collected the discarded clothes and set them aside.
The atmosphere remained casual as Kazuhiko finished undressing, revealing his well-defined physique. Tsunade, however, found herself standing before him, blushing at his imposing figure.
"Well, you should go and rest now," Tsunade stammered, attempting to turn around.
But as she did so, Kazuhiko caught her hands.
"What are you doing? Let go of me..."
Blushing and slightly bewildered, Tsunade looked into Kazuhiko's eyes as he held her hands.
Kazuhiko gazed at Tsunade silently, then slowly lowered his head, surprising Tsunade.
"Goodnight..."
Time seemed to stretch, and when Tsunade snapped back to reality, Kazuhiko had already left. Only one sentence lingered in her mind.
"Thank you, Tsunade. I really appreciate it. Now I'll go rest; you should get some rest too."
Tsunade stood there, stunned. Her hand instinctively touched her lips, as if she could still feel the warmth of another's touch. Her cheeks flushed, and her eyes sparkled.
"Did I just... get kissed?!"
