The Child Of The Star

Chapter 43

After putting the fear of God, the devil and the very existence into Orochimaru's soul. After which the slippery snake escaped from him when he had gone to check on Naruko. They had captured an extremely injured Kabuto and held him in a prison scroll. Now Yoriichi, Naruko, Shizune, Jiraiya and Tsunade had packed their stuff. Tsunade had taken over healing Jiraiya and agreed to come with them to Konoha.

Tsunade: I told you to cut back on eating sweets! You need to let your body heal from the after-effects of the paralysing poison!

Yoriichi and Naruko were walking slightly forward with Tsunade and Jiraiya walking behind them, Shizune between the two groups holding Tonton. Yoriichi held a chocolate milkshake in a bamboo cup with a lid and straw made of similar material. The same was with Tsunade, Naruko, Shizune and Jiraiya. With them having different flavours such as strawberry, vanilla, blackberry and pineapple in order. Yoriichi amused themself with the tongue-lashing Tsunade was giving to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya: But Tsunade-hime you have to agree this is good!

The Toad pointed at his milkshake. They had bought it from a famous store that served only milkshakes but had an incredible variety. It was one of the extra businesses (Side Hustle) that Yoriichi had opened up in this world but of course, no one knew he was the owner even his own employees didn't know how he looked except for the higher up that including Dr Orion and a few other but of course, the Konoha council also knew but it was alright. It wasn't like they could stop him.

Shizune: What flavour did you get Tsugikuni-san?

Tsunade and Jiraiya quietly looked in front of them. Shizune had stepped forward and took Yoriichi's free right side. Tsunade smiled slightly at the sight of Shizune making an effort to make a friend. Her apprentice didn't have much time to make friends or any relations outside of her and Tonton because of how constantly they remained on the move, since she was returning to Konoha it might be good for Shizune to make a friend.

Yoriichi: Chocolate and call me Yoriichi. You mind if I call you Shizune?

Yoriichi's unique bright eyes looked at her with patience. Shizunes face brightened up as she nodded with a smile.

Shizune: Yeah! So what are your hobbies?

Yoriichi answered her as he kept his eyes on the road as everyone walked at a slow yet steady pace. Naruko's eyebrows clenched and she frowned. Her hold on the bamboo cup in her hands tightened.

Shizune: Can I have a taste?

Jiraiya coughed hard and Tsunade's jaw hung wide as they heard Shizunes words. Naruko looked at Shizune like she just said the most atrocious in the world.

Yoriichi: Sure.

Naruko's look of shock turned to a look of betrayal faster than Yoriichi could make a woman's panties wet. The redhead pushed his cup towards Shizune. Rather than take the cup from his hand Shizune leaned forward and took a sip. In the background, Jiraiya's milkshake was long forgotten as he began furiously writing in his notepad with a wide smirk and an excited look while Tsunade looked at the scene before her with eyes so wide that they could match saucers in size. If Naruko had the power to burn someone to death just beyond looking at them then Shizune would have died over a hundred times. Yoriichi turned to look at the blonde jinchuriki who tugged on his haori.

Yoriichi: Yes?

Naruko: I took down Kabuto.

She didn't beat around the bush around with Yoriichi. She knew she had the advantage over Shizune and Naruko took it by bringing out the big guns. Shizune looked surprised at her words and Naruko felt a sense of pride. Yoriichi quickly caught on to her emotions and knew what she wanted. She wanted him to praise her.
