Chapter 85: Shikamaru Unaware of Himself
Before Haruko caught up with Uchiha Sasuke in the morning, Shizune appeared from nowhere and asked her to go to Tsunade with a smile on her face.
Morning Haruko: ... Could that Tsunade guy have hired someone to monitor me?!
But at least she had to ask Tsunade for help. Haruko Zaoma had no choice but to follow Shizune to pick up Tsunade who had just finished a meeting with the senior management. Tsunade was originally in a depressed mood during the meeting, but when she saw Haruko Zaoma outside, she immediately smiled.
"Oh my, my shoulders are sore, I think Haruko would mind rubbing them for me?"
"...I am no longer someone you can enslave at will!"
In the morning, Haruko was angrily carried out by Tsunade in a proud embrace, and Shizune behind her watched their interaction with satisfaction.
"Hey, Shikamaru? And Uncle Nara!"
In the morning, Haruko saw Nara Shikamaru walking up with his father, breaking free from Tsunade's shackles, and greeted him happily.
While his father was talking to the woman, Nara Shikamaru led Haruko Asagumi aside.
"Why are you in a place like this?" Nara Shikamaru's voice was still weak.
It's impossible to say that I was kidnapped and threatened...
Haruko replied helplessly in the morning: "Pick up and drop off senior leaders and carry out the itinerary."
“…What nonsense are you talking about.”
"Shikamaru is here, why are you here?"
Nara Shikamaru scratched his head in annoyance, "I don't know. Dad asked me to come."
When Haruko Zaoma heard this, she looked at the two adults who were talking with some curiosity, along with Nara Shikamaru.
"Long time no see, Lady Tsunade." Nara's father looked serious and bowed to her.
Tsunade smiled and replied, "Oh, the little brat from the Nara family..."
The little devil from the Nara family?!
Haruko broke out in a cold sweat in the morning, although it was one thing to hear what Uncle Jiraiya said, but seeing Tsunade's self-explosion again, the age gap was also quite terrifying.
Nara Shikamaru whispered in her ear, "Haruko, who is this young and arrogant woman?"
Young X, arrogant √
Haruko decided to be kind to the world in the morning and not reveal the mystery of Tsunade's age.
"Tsunade-senpai, who is older than Shikamaru's father, should become the fifth Hokage."
Kind, but not completely kind.
When Nara Shikamaru heard her words, the corners of his mouth twitched, "No way, it's bigger than my father's..."
Seeing his face full of disbelief, Haruko Zaoma smiled secretly.
"What are you talking about..."
Tsunade appeared behind Haruko in the morning with a sinister look, and when she saw the two children, they were both startled. Tsunade stood up proudly.
He put his arm around Haruko Zaoma, said "I'm leaving first," and left with Haruko Zaoma, who felt like she had lost all hope in life.
"Shikamaru! I'll come to see you in the evening!" Haruko's last words gradually faded away in the morning.
Shikamaru Nara was left standing there in shock, "That turned out to be the Fifth Hokage..."
Nara's father walked up to him and said with a smile, "Hey Shikamaru, that guy is the strongest and most beautiful person in the world."
Nara Shikamaru sighed in trouble.
"I'm really not good at dealing with women."
"She looks gentle and kind, but in fact she is very clingy, making it hard to understand what the relationship is like."
"Besides, there are people around him, saying a few words here and there, just playing with men in the palm of his hand."
If you don't know, you might think he was talking about the Fifth Hokage.
Nara's father glared at the unaware Nara Shikamaru. This guy... is definitely missing Haruko.
Feeling that his son had a long and arduous journey to accomplish in love, Nara’s father put his arm around his shoulders.
"Without women, men will become useless. You will understand when you reach that age."
Nara Shikamaru slandered his father in his heart: He can never hold his head up in front of my mother, and yet he has the audacity to say such things.
Nara Shikamaru was sure that he would never be able to become a man like his father.

When she opened her eyes and saw the familiar room again, Haruko Zao felt much calmer.
The interview trip didn’t seem to last very long, so why do I feel like I miss it all so much?
"Haruko, are you up?"
There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Bai's soft voice.
"Get up, get up!"
In the morning, Haruko packed up and went downstairs. Bai still smiled at her as usual.
Ever since coming back with Hayama Haruko, even though Bai calls himself her follower and tool, the Hayama family treats him as Hayama Haruko's brother.
Zaoma's mother especially likes Bai's gentle personality and treats him like her own child. If Zaoma Haruko hadn't thought it was impolite, Zaoma's mother would have wanted to move Bai's household registration here.
Usually Bai Du does housework at home with the morning mother, and he can be considered a bodyguard in disguise. After all, both of them have extraordinary identities.
What's more, Bai has never liked killing. Compared with fighting, he prefers the ordinary daily life at Zaojian's house.
Before, Bai could hide himself from time to time and go see Zaoma Haruko, but her interview trip was too rushed, and when Bai came back from running errands that day, she found that Zaoma Haruko had left.
Therefore, Bai cherishes Haruko's presence at home in the morning.
"...That's enough, Shiro. I can't eat that much!"
In the morning, Haruko had no choice but to refuse Bai's fatherly feeding.
Seeing him and his parents all with expressions that said "my Haruko has lost weight after going out", Haruko felt in the morning that he had not found a follower, but a big Buddha.
Because Kakashi Hatake is still recuperating, Haruko rarely has to do a mission right after returning in the morning.
Today’s goal is to be bored all day!
"White's knitting is amazing!"
Seeing Haruko doing nothing in the morning, Bai considerately offered to teach her how to knit to pass the time.
Hearing her praise, his face turned slightly red, "It's all because of my aunt's good teaching. I'm far from being as good as her."
Modest, too modest.
In the morning, Haruko looked at the intricate knitwear in his hands and the basic ones in her own hands, and realized that she couldn't compare to a boy...so she silently asked Shiro for more advanced styles.
It's not shameful, this is called learning from the barbarians in order to defeat them!
"Is what Shira is woven into a scarf?" Haruko Asama asked curiously.
He had only knitted the beginning before, but now that it was a little longer, Haruko could vaguely see in the morning that he was knitting something that seemed to be a scarf.
Bai sorted out the parts that had been knitted, "Yes, the weather has cooled down recently, it's almost time to start knitting the scarf."
"Oh..." Haruko was a little conflicted in the morning. Should she switch to knitting a scarf herself?
As if she could see what she was thinking, Bai Qian smiled and said, "This is for Qingzi. I wonder if you will like it."
"Is it knitted for me?" Haruko Asama was a little flattered.
It was originally woven in white, with pure white stripes mixed with tiny purple petals. When Haruko Asako learned that it was woven for her, she couldn't wait to wear it.
"It's so beautiful, I'm sure I like it!" Haruko Zao's face turned red with excitement.
Bai looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but think of the winter when he was a child in the Water Kingdom.
The cold past was filled with warmth in his memories with the appearance of Haruko in the morning.
That petite, tender snow elf is now staying by my side...
Coming back to his senses, Bai quietly watched the afternoon sun shining on Haruko's body in the morning. Her every frown and smile were deeply imprinted in his mind. She was undoubtedly moving.
Especially when he only has eyes on himself, Bai can't help but grow his desire.
He knew very well that love was possession as well as protection.
