Inside Hokage’s office….

????: What!? You’re leaving?

The blonde-haired young adult whose actual age is around fifty years old stands up in surprise from her Hokage seat facing Shang who is standing in front of her.

Shang: Yeah, it will not be that long. Probably….

Tsunade: PROBABLY!?

Shang: Stop shouting like that and show a little respect, girl. I am your elder.

Tsunade: But...

Shang: No buts! I am a human and I need a break. I have been handling two jobs at a time. TWO JOBS!

After being entrusted with the seat of Hokage, Tsunade starts to feel the pain and stress which Hiruzen felt while working as the third Hokage. Her companion and apprentice, Shizune has tried her best to be her assistant.

Shang was later dragged out from his head office in the hospital for slacking and became Tsunade’s second assistant.

Hokage’s paperwork is nothing for Shang. With combined experience in two worlds, Shang finishes all the skyscraper piles of papers while Tsunade and Shizune fall asleep on their desks.

Due to Shang’s godspeed with paperwork, Tsunade once asked Koharu the reason Shang isn’t selected as Hokage.

The Fire Daimyo also brought up the same question during the meeting with the Konoha Council. Two person object against it, and they are Koharu and Danzou.

Koharu objects because Shang had told her he has no interest being Hokage.

For Danzou, his reason was Shang has not contributed enough credit to be Hokage.

Homaru and Koharu were speechless at Danzou’s shameless objection as they both know the lives which Shang saved as the hospital head has given himself more credit than what Danzou has done for the village.

Tsunade: That’s not the point.

Tsunade’s thoughts: The point is if you leave the Konohagakure, who else can keep Danzou in place? I can’t tell that to your face, right?

Tsunade thinks deeply while making a similar pose like Evangelion’s Ikari Gendo.

The strongest combat assets, Jiraiya and Naruto have left the village for special training.

Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy and the others who are loyal to Hiruzen were sent out on important missions.

The only hidden combat assets left are Shang and Koharu.

Tsunade did not include Utatane Piko as a hidden combat asset as she is too young and inexperienced like her disciple, Haruno Sakura.

More importantly, she is not sure whether Koharu will still support her as a councilor if Shang is not around.

Shang:… I will contribute five million yen to the village.

Shang says after giving some thoughts about it.

Tsunade:...

Tsunade’s thoughts: Even though I know you are rich, It is still not about the money….

Shang: Ten million yen…

Shang’s thoughts: I can already see your mouth dripping with saliva...

Tsunade:....

Tsunade’s thoughts: Definitely not about the money….

Shang: One hundred million yen…

Tsunade:....

Tsunade’s thoughts: Not about the money….

Shang: One billion yen…

Tsunade: Deal! When are you leaving? I will personally see you off at the village gates.

Tsunade’s thoughts: One billion yen! One billion yen!

Shang:....

Shang's thoughts: Why do I feel cheated?

Shizune:....

Shizune watches silently at the deal made between Tsunade and Shang.

Shizune’s thoughts: Tsunade-sama, you’re supposed to make sure that Elder Shang continues to stay in the village….

Looking at the money-loving expression that Tsunade makes, Shizune gives up on reminding her as nothing will go through her ears currently.
