"Is there a problem?"
Aoba's reaction made Tsunade a little puzzled.
He shook his head, "It's nothing, just that I don't think I've ever heard of the Otogakure?"
"It's a newly established ninja village. Since it's not very strong, the village hasn't paid much attention to it," Tsunade casually explained.
"..."
'No wonder it is so easy to sneak in.'
"Never mind, teacher, just let them come too. I'll take care of it when the time comes," While speaking, Aoba also straightened his back.
"You haven't awakened some powerful bloodline again, have you?", Tsunade looked at Aoba with a strange expression.
She basically watched this brat grow up.
Over the years, Aoba had shown her quite a few bloodline abilities.
She could be sure that she definitely wasn't his match anymore.
But she had also almost finished investigating his entire eighteen generations of ancestors.
Still couldn't figure out why a ninja could have so many bloodlines.
You have to know, that Terumi Mei from the Hidden Mist Village became Mizukage with just two bloodlines.
"Ahem!", Aoba gave a dry cough, "No, I just feel like it's time to show off my Wood Release too."
"That Wood Human Technique, I can already use it now."
"Wood Human Technique?", Tsunade's eyes widened, a trace of strange color flashing through her eyes.
When she was very little, she had seen her grandfather use that giant Wood Release.
That was a power truly capable of ending chaotic times.
"Are you sure?", Tsunade's expression became serious.
If Aoba could really use that technique, then in the next few decades, who would dare trespass on Konoha's land?
Aoba also seriously nodded.
"Alright! Then we'll go with what you said. I'll go invite the Iwagakure too. This Chunin Exam will be more exciting with all five great villages together."
"Sure," Aoba naturally had no problem. The Chunin Exam was still a month away.
By then, unless Uchiha Madara crawled out of the ground, who could stop him?
Having solved a bunch of problems, Tsunade also suddenly relaxed.
She stretched lazily.
Aoba subconsciously glanced twice.
Couldn't help it, such a magnificent sight wasn't common.
"Dinner time!", At this moment, Shizune's voice rang out.
She happened to be carrying dishes out from the kitchen.
"Alright!"
———
"Aoba, since you haven't been back in so long, your room must be really dusty. How about just sleeping here tonight?", At the dinner table, Shizune asked with a smile.
Aoba's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly. Without thinking, he already sensed the bad intentions coming from Shizune.
"No need, Karin has been sleeping over at my place recently, so it's not dirty at all."
"Wha… What?", Shizune's eyes widened, looking a bit incredulous.
"She seems to have been taking naps at my place every day lately. I caught her today," Aoba explained casually.
"I… I see," Shizune took a bite of rice, fell silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Then the quilt or pillow might be a bit dirty, remember to wash them."
"Dirty?", Aoba looked a bit confused, staring at Shizune's inexplicably reddening face without understanding.
"I checked at noon today, didn't find anything dirty."
"Ah… then it's fine," Shizune lowered her head and quietly continued eating.
Seeing this, Aoba felt it was better not to ask further.
Tsunade cast a strange glance at her somewhat "shameless" big disciple.
She had actually run into it a few times before.
But thinking about it, Shizune was at that age after all.
Just didn't know where she had learned that kind of unlabeled Water Release jutsu.
After dinner, Aoba returned to his bedroom.
He especially checked his bed carefully.
Still didn't find anything dirty.

[The Next Day]
Maybe because the bed at home was too comfortable, Aoba rarely slept in.
By the time he woke up, the sun was already high.
After washing up.
Just as he pushed open the door, he saw Karin in the yard vigorously practicing Adamantine Sealing Chains.
Karin was a bit surprised to see Aoba and blinked.
Then she stopped and ran over.
"Aoba-nii, you just woke up?"
"Slept too well, so I got up late," Aoba patted her hair.
Karin immediately showed a "huge loss" expression.
Seeing this, Aoba couldn't help twitching his mouth and knocked her on the forehead.
"When training, no distractions."
"I know."
Karin obediently responded, then asked, "Are we going out to play this afternoon?"
Aoba shook his head, "I'm going out with Hinata and Yakumo later."
Hearing this, Karin puffed up her cheeks, "We're not even in the same team, why are you still going out during holidays?"
Aoba smiled helplessly, "I'll bring you a gift."
"Hmph!", Karin snorted softly, returned to her position, and began swinging her chains even faster.
Aoba was a little worried she might hit herself in the head.
He tried persuading her twice more, but it looked like until he brought the gift back, she wouldn't listen to him, so he didn't say anything further.
He first went to Tsunade's house.
No one was home.
But a sealed breakfast was still on the dining table.
He took it to the kitchen to heat up, finished it, and went out.
Since he got up late, he had to hurry to the meeting place with Hinata and Yakumo.
But what he didn't know was that not long after he left, Yugao came by.
"Karin," As soon as Yugao arrived, she saw Karin and greeted her.
"Hi, Yugao-nee," Karin also stopped, then her eyes rolled, "Yugao-nee, are you here to see Aoba-nii?"
"Yeah, I saw Senior Kurenai this morning, she said they got a few days off."
"Then maybe Yugao-nee came at the wrong time," Karin smiled slyly.
"Why?", Yugao was confused, 'When was it not okay to come?'
"Because Aoba-nii just went out with Hinata and Yakumo."
