Chapter 194: Sakura's Family Problems

"Sensei...thank you for dropping me home..."

Sakura's voice was a bit unclear, Satoru smiled and said, "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

"Sensei won't do anything that shouldn't be done, right?"

Sakura's question made Satoru sink for a moment.

'What not to do?'

He couldn't understand this because everyone's definition of "should" and "should not" was different.

In Satoru's view, there were no things he should or should not do, there were only things he wanted to do or not.

He didn't know how to answer, so he could only support Sakura's body, "You are drunk, if you want to have an in-depth question and answer with sensei, let's wait until next time."

"Heh... sensei is a coward."

Satoru didn't paid any attention to her taunt, it would be too bad if he acted as if he had the same knowledge as a child.

(T.L Note: But that's true though)

Moreover, as smart as he was, how could he fail to guess where Sakura's ailments these days were coming from?

When he brought Sakura home, Sakura's mother kept apologizing.

"I'm sorry, sensei, Sakura is usually very good, it's impossible to cause trouble. I don't know how she got to drink."

"It's not her problem, I brought her to drink."

"Ah?"

The mother seemed to be stunned for a moment, but she quickly explained with a smile, "Then sensei must have his own reasons for doing this."

Satoru frowned.

Her mother was too easy-going.

An adult man drinking with an underage girl was unacceptable to ordinary parents, but their family didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In other words, she didn't think there was anything wrong with drinking with him, her sensei.

Even if he was really a beast and did something bad to her and she went home and complained to her parents, maybe her parents would think that she was being treated as such because of her disobedience.

Satoru thoght he may already have the answer.

Without saying a word, he politely said goodbye to her parents and went back to Tsunade's office.

Tsunade was already dealing with government affairs. Seeing Satoru approaching, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said, "I thought you would drink until dark?"

"Well, they are all children, even if they got to drink, they can't go too far with it, and..."

Satoru just wanted to see them in their real-self, there was no need to drink too much.

Tsunade stood up, put a file on Satoru, and said coldly, "Look at this, and tell me your opinion."

Satoru was a little unclear.

Under normal circumstances, he does not participate in the works regarding the village. Why did Tsunade suddenly wanted to listen to his opinion?

'let,s check it out, maybe I will get the answer.'

Satoru opened the file, and after seeing the word Kirigakure, he felt that this matter was not going to be easy.

"Kirigakure's files? Are they related to me?"

"Won't you know if you look further?" Tsunade walked to the window, her voice seemed to be tinged with a little jealousy, "How long have you been back, and these documents have already been sent over, I'm afraid they arrived right after you."

This file was pressed below and Tsunade just opened it. According to the time, it should come to Konoha almost along with Satoru.

Terumi Mei was so reluctant to part with him. Perhaps, she should not have been allowed to go to Kirigakure with Terumi Mei in the first place.

But after thinking about it, it was impossible for him to listen to her own words.

No one in this world could make him obedient. Thinking of this, Tsunade suppressed her anger, turned around and said, "That document is the paper-work for establishing diplomatic relations with Konohagakure, and they have shown more than enough sincerity. In this cooperation, they are willing to submit to us and let us be their ministers."

After listening to Tsunade's explanation, Satoru didn't look at it anymore. He closed the document, threw it on the table far away and said, "The Land of Fire is the one with the best position and the strongest power among the big countries. It's normal that they want to do this, and other countries have also given such things before, haven't they?"

"But it was such a good coincidence that they came at this time."

Tsunade finally said directly what was in her heart, "You just came back, and this thing came after you. Is it because you were doing something good while in Kirigakure which is why they came here eagerly to ask for cooperation?"

This is short-form of saying "Are you in some kind of love-debt?"

The overall strength of Kirigakure was not as good as that of Konoha. If they agree to this cooperation, they could get a loyal wingman, and they could help each other if they encounter a catastrophe in the future.

But if it's a love debt, this cooperation must have something to do with Satoru.

This was not good, because there was no obvious definition about these things.

If the other party wanted to make Satoru pay for it for his whole life, it was completely possible.

"If it's a love debt, will you send me out to pay back the debt?"

"I won't!"

Tsunade answered very simply.

"You're the Hokage, even if you want to be selfish, you can't do it."

"It is precisely because I know Hokage's responsibility that I cannot hand you over to others. I believe everyone who has dealt with you knows clearly how strong you are. Sending you out would be like a lifeline sent out."

"Terumi Mei also thinks so, she knows that she can't have me, so she begs for a cooperation with a lower stance."

Satoru's words blocked Tsunade's rebuttal.

Yeah, that's the case, Terumi Mei won't be able to express her heart to Satoru openly, right?

It's not appropriate neither emotionally nor rationally.

"Are you forcing me to agree?"

"I didn't force you, I just think that you should think about this issue from the perspective of fairness and justice. I don't want to affect your judgment."

After speaking, Satoru turned and left.

Within a few seconds, there was a sound of smashing things in the office.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Satoru's lips.

Tsunade's temper was inherently irritable. If she tried to lower her posture every time he is around her, it will be worrying.

But acting like this meant that she had returned to her normal self.

…

It was sunny day, while Satoru was walking leisurely, he met Kakashi.

"Hey, Kakashi."

Kakashi turned around, saw Satoru, and waved from a distance, and when Satoru came to him, he asked, "Would you like to have a drink together?"
