Although Yoruha and Ino got along well, their relationship hadn't progressed much.
It wasn't that Yoruha had no feelings; Ino, on the other hand, was quite fond of him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't help him every time he went out on medical missions.
Yoruha was actually aware of Ino's feelings, but he was uncertain about his future path.
Besides, they were still too young to make any decisions. It wasn't just Ino; Tanako also frequently sought Yoruha's company.
In terms of strength, Tanako was far inferior to Ino, but she was a genuine beauty with wealth and status.
At 16, she was stunningly beautiful, the kind that even surprised Yoruha.
However, Yoruha hadn't expressed any preference between the two.
Mainly because they were only 16, and there was no need to decide so early.
Ino and Tanako felt the same way, believing they could afford to wait.
But if they overheard the conversation between Sasuke and Boruto from the future, they might not be so confident.
In the future, Yoruha might not even be in this world. Meanwhile, Gaara's attempt to match Yoruha with Temari was indeed challenging.
Temari's looks were on par with Ino's, with a unique beauty of her own.
Yet Yoruha only saw her as a former mission teammate. He could see the way she looked at him, but he wasn't interested.
Moreover, he knew she was meant for Shikamaru.
Yoruha was aware that his presence had already altered the original storyline. Could Temari still fall for Shikamaru?
Images of fighting alongside Yoruha kept surfacing in Temari's mind.
After a long silence, she looked up and said, "A man as exceptional as him won't lack admirers in Konoha. Why would he choose me?"
Temari accepted Gaara's matchmaking, but she also understood the challenges of being from different villages.
Even if Yoruha was willing, would Konoha agree?
If Temari liked Shikamaru, Konoha would be pleased.
But she liked Yoruha, who was seen as a future Hokage by Konoha, and they would never agree. Yoruha's partner had to be a girl from Konoha.
The Hokage and ordinary ninjas in the village were entirely different.
Of course, if Yoruha wanted, no one could stop him. But Yoruha was completely laid-back about these matters.
He didn't care if his partner was from Konoha or not. He didn't even care when he would get married.
With his physical condition, late marriage and parenthood wouldn't be an issue.
After Temari expressed her feelings, Gaara smiled and said,
"There's no need to worry about that. We're allied with Konoha, and if you and Yoruha get together, it would greatly benefit the alliance."
"And even if you do get together, he wouldn't need to come to the Sand Village; you would go to Konoha. How could they refuse that?" Gaara had even thought about which village they would live in after marriage.
Temari's face turned red. Her usually cool demeanor now resembled that of a girl experiencing her first love, which she indeed was at her age.
Regardless of what Gaara and Temari discussed, Yoruha was unaware. He had already returned to Konoha Village.
The ink dripped onto the documents she was using as a pillow.
Yoruha was a bit speechless, "This is what being a Hokage is like."
With a wave of his hand, the documents Tsunade was lying on disappeared from beneath her cheek and reappeared on a pile of papers nearby. Updates are released by novel★fire.net
Yoruha didn't disturb Tsunade's nap and instead sat in a chair nearby, sipping tea.
After more than an hour, Tsunade finally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yoruha.
She immediately waved at him, "Hey, Yoruha, you're back?
How did the mission go?" Unaware that there was still ink from the documents on her face and drool at the corner of her mouth.
Yoruha found it particularly amusing that Tsunade could sleep during work hours.
Luckily, Shizune wasn't around, or she'd definitely start nagging. Yoruha chuckled and said, "Lady Tsunade..."
Yoruha recounted the mission to Tsunade.
After listening, Tsunade was quite surprised, "You actually traveled through time and met the Fourth Hokage?"
Yoruha laughed, "Yes, but since I wanted to complete the mission quickly, I didn't chat much with the Fourth Hokage."
Tsunade nodded, "Indeed, since this timeline didn't change because of your time travel. However, Sunagakure should now be aware of your strength, which might not be advantageous for you."
Tsunade had hoped to keep Yoruha's abilities hidden until a critical moment, to surprise their enemies.
But since she had sent Yoruha out, she was naturally prepared for this. "Perhaps Sunagakure should know your strength surpasses Sasuke's, which serves as a deterrent."
Even though they were allies, they were still two different ninja villages, and Tsunade certainly hoped Konoha would hold the dominant position in the alliance.
Yoruha didn't quite agree. The strength he displayed during this mission wouldn't make anyone think he was stronger than Sasuke.
After all, he only used the Flying Thunder God Technique and Magnet Release.
The Rasengan shouldn't be considered a particularly powerful jutsu to Temari. However, Yoruha underestimated Temari's judgment. She believed his strength surpassed Sasuke's.
Even Gaara thought so, given that mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique and using Magnet Release so skillfully was impressive.
Sasuke's Susanoo might not compare. This was partly because the two had limited understanding of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Moreover, Sasuke hadn't fully utilized the abilities of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Although the mission was somewhat convoluted, it was mainly because Yoruha was interested in time travel; otherwise, he could have completed it on the first day.
He didn't even need to go to Sunagakure.
However, the mission didn't cause much of a stir. While Gaara and Temari were surprised by Yoruha's strength, they didn't spread the word.
Additionally, not many people knew about the mission, so Yoruha's reputation didn't spread across the ninja world. Just as Yoruha was about to rest, a few people walked in.
Tsunade looked over, "Kakashi, how did it go?" Kakashi entered with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, accompanied by a man in monk robes. Upon seeing Yoruha, Kakashi was a bit surprised.
Although Yoruha was Tsunade's guard, he rarely appeared in front of her.
Seeing Yoruha, the usually serious Sasuke approached, "It's rare to see you here. Is there a mission?" Yoruha replied coolly, "Confidential."
Sasuke paused for a moment, then smiled, "You finally decided to take things seriously?" Sasuke always felt Yoruha was too laid-back.
Despite being so powerful, the entire ninja world was unaware of him, which made Sasuke somewhat indignant on Yoruha's behalf.
But since Yoruha preferred it this way, Sasuke didn't know any better.
