Chapter 26: Confusing and Mysterious
With different thoughts in their hearts, the two cans of Baijiu were soon emptied. Nayuki drank less and was still able to move around on her own. Kawakaze and Tsunade were both carried back to their rooms by servants, each to a separate room.
Sakumo leaned heavily on Nayuki, and the two stumbled back to their quarters. With a mysterious look, Sakumo whispered in his wife's ear:
"I discovered a secret."
"Kawakaze wants to become Hokage."
"But now he's letting Tsunade have it."
He waited expectantly for a surprised reaction from Nayuki. Instead, she simply helped him along, skeptical of his ramblings. To her, it was more plausible to help Tsunade ascend to power.
"Have you ever seen a Hokage who likes to tease and cuddle dogs?"
Ignoring her husband's drunken musings, Nayuki helped him to their room. She worried that if they tried for a baby tonight, her husband's current state might impact the child's intelligence.
The night passed without incident, and dawn arrived.
Tsunade woke up in the guest room, immediately realizing she wasn't in her own quarters. A quick glance at the bed confirmed she was alone. Her clothes were neatly folded, and there were no signs of any untoward events.
After freshening up, she stepped out and ran into Kawakaze, who was drying his hair with a towel. He was topless, his six-pack clearly visible, and his damp silver hair gleamed in the morning light. His freshly showered scent lingered in the air.
