Chapter 15: Kakashi’s Recovery
"Shizune, stay here and help me approve these documents. I'm going to treat Kakashi!"
Shizune had just returned with the medical records, barely catching her breath, when she heard Tsunade's instructions.
Approve documents?
Looking at the towering stack of paperwork, Shizune's expression changed instantly.
"Tsunade-sama, this is the Hokage's authority. I'm just an ordinary jōnin—I don't have the qualifications!" As a normal shinobi, Shizune still held deep respect for the Hokage.
In her eyes, these documents were something only the Hokage should review. For her, a mere jōnin, to even look at them felt like overstepping boundaries.
"Just do as you're told! Why so much nonsense?"
"I'm going to save someone. Hikari, come with me. Shizune, just approve them. If there's anything important or something you're unsure about, set it aside."
With that, Tsunade grabbed the medical records from Shizune's hands, called out to Kamizuki Hikari, and strode out the door.
Hikari glanced at the stunned Shizune, and sent her a sympathetic look before quietly slipping away behind Tsunade.
