Chapter 74:
Inside the Police Force Chief's office, Uchiha Sanpō's slender fingers lightly tapped the window frame.
Sunlight cast bright highlights on his handsome face.
"As long as I dual cultivate with Tsunade 13 more times… I'll be able to advance to the high-level Senju Sage Body…"
Uchiha Sanpō took a deep breath and calmed his restless heart.
Then, he formed seals with both hands and left a shadow clone to handle work.
His main body turned into a blur and instantly vanished from the window.
...
At the Senju clan grounds, Tsunade's residence was surrounded by lush trees and blooming flowers.
In this peaceful atmosphere, more than a dozen of Tsunade's shadow clones were busily moving about.
Some shadow clones were carefully wiping the window lattices, making them shine brightly;
Others held scissors and trimmed the weeds in the courtyard, making the garden look neat and beautiful;
The real Tsunade was standing in the master bedroom, focused on arranging the room.
Her golden long hair was tied into a casual ponytail, and her bangs were slightly damp with sweat.
At that moment, a male voice suddenly sounded.
"Tsunade, you shouldn't waste your precious time on cleaning."
Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly: "Stop talking nonsense. This is my house, so of course I have to do it myself."
Uchiha Sanpō slowly walked closer. The unique fragrance of a woman filled the air. Tsunade's collar was slightly open, revealing a section of snow-white shoulder.
"Now that the war has just ended, Konoha's economy is not doing well. Many people are unemployed. Are you willing to work hard yourself instead of giving your clansmen a chance to work?"
Tsunade's movements paused. A ripple flashed in her eyes: "Since when did you start caring so much about the Senju clan?"
Uchiha Sanpō suddenly took a step forward and said: "I care about many people, especially you. I've always kept you in my heart."
His palm pressed against the small of Tsunade's back. Through the thin clothes, he could feel the warmth of her skin.
Tsunade's eyes widened slightly. Before she could speak, she was pressed against the wall behind her.
"You…"
Tsunade snorted, about to retort, but suddenly noticed something off about his breathing.
His gaze was hotter than usual, and his breathing was slightly rapid.
"Sanpō, did you… take too many kidney supplements… Your fire seems a bit strong…"
Before she could finish, Uchiha Sanpō wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
His lips had already pressed down with an irresistible dominance.
Tsunade, I want you… to help me… vent my fire!
Tsunade's eyes widened slightly, but soon her fingers clutched his collar and she responded to the kiss.
"Hey, Tsunade! I'm here!"
The voice made the entangled pair freeze at the same time.
Uchiha Sanpō slowly raised his head and saw Jiraiya's annoying face poking in through the window.
The white-haired ninja's signature smile froze the moment he saw the scene inside the room. The corners of his mouth twitched comically.
"You… you two…" Jiraiya's finger trembled as he pointed at them, his eyes wide as copper bells.
Jiraiya saw Tsunade and Uchiha Sanpō kissing!
His gaze moved between Tsunade's flushed cheeks and their intimate posture. His face turned from red to white, then to green.
"Bang!" With a dull thud, Jiraiya fell straight off the windowsill.
Then came a "crash" sound, as if he had crushed some decoration in the courtyard.
Uchiha Sanpō sighed and looked down at Tsunade in his arms: "Do you need me to deal with him?"
Before Tsunade could answer, a hand suddenly grabbed the windowsill again.
Jiraiya climbed back up in a sorry state, with a few leaves still stuck to his forehead.
His expression looked like he had swallowed an entire lemon: "Uchiha Sanpō! You actually… you actually did that to Tsunade…"
Uchiha Sanpō narrowed his eyes. His arm remained wrapped around Tsunade's waist, showing no intention of letting go.
He said lazily: "Peeping Tom Jiraiya, Tsunade is my woman now."
Jiraiya's face instantly turned red.
Of course he recognized Uchiha Sanpō — the one who had achieved great military exploits in the Third Great Ninja War and recently defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi…
Jiraiya's voice was so loud it startled the birds in the courtyard: "Uchiha Sanpō, don't you already have a girlfriend from the Uzumaki clan? Tsunade, don't be fooled by this brat! He's a playboy!"
Tsunade straightened her slightly disheveled collar and said coldly: "Jiraiya, my private affairs are none of your business."
Jiraiya jumped in frustration: "Tsunade… you two… there's a 20-year age gap. This won't end well…"
Tsunade angrily clenched her fist: "Jiraiya, you bastard!"
Uchiha Sanpō held Tsunade back. His gaze also turned dangerous: "Jiraiya, you're just jealous of me."
He deliberately tightened his arm around Tsunade's waist and kissed her lips: "Because I'm more favored by Tsunade than you?"
Jiraiya's fists cracked from how tightly he clenched them, but in the end he didn't attack: "Uchiha Sanpō, I'll say it one last time — stay away from Tsunade, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
Uchiha Sanpō immediately clenched his fist: "Perfect! After the war, Konoha's economy is in a slump. I was thinking of holding a competition next Sunday to attract wealthy spectators and boost the village's economy. With our reputations, we should be able to make quite a bit of money for the village."
Jiraiya glared at him, his chest heaving violently.
This would benefit the village and also give him a legitimate reason to beat this brat.
So Jiraiya gritted his teeth and nodded: "Fine! I accept!"
Watching Jiraiya storm away in anger, Uchiha Sanpō closed the window.
The room fell quiet again, leaving only the sound of their breathing.
Tsunade leaned against the wall. Her golden long hair was slightly disheveled and scattered over her shoulders.
Her cheeks still carried a lingering blush, and her breathing was faster than usual: "You did that on purpose?"
Uchiha Sanpō undid his ninja headband and smirked: "Or should I say… Lady Tsunade… you're shy?"
Tsunade snorted coldly but didn't push him away.
Her gaze fell on the open collar of Sanpō's shirt… There was a faint scratch mark there… left by her in the heat of passion earlier.
Uchiha Sanpō's fingers gently caressed Tsunade's earlobe, slowly sliding down along her jawline, and finally stopped at her slender neck.
He could feel the rapid beating of Tsunade's pulse, getting faster and faster.
Tsunade grabbed his restless hand, her breathing hurried: "Don't… Jiraiya hasn't gone far yet… With his hearing… he'll hear…"
Uchiha Sanpō gave an evil laugh and deliberately raised his voice: "Perfect, let him learn… learn…"
Meanwhile, Jiraiya was indeed still standing outside the courtyard.
His superhuman hearing had caught every ambiguous sound from inside the room.
The rustling of clothes… the rapid breathing… and Tsunade's suppressed soft moans.
As an experienced veteran, Jiraiya naturally knew exactly what was happening inside. He punched the tree trunk beside him, shaking off countless leaves.
His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. In the end, he gritted his teeth and formed seals: "Damn it!… Body Flicker Technique!"
With a puff of white smoke, Jiraiya's figure disappeared from the spot.
