Chapter 395 The Relieved Little Spring Consultant
Nishikawa Tetsu stood by the window, holding a cup of barley tea.
His gaze swept across the bustling street, watching the slender figure gradually blend into the throng of people until she disappeared from sight.
"call……"
Nishikawa Tetsu let out a long sigh of relief and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.
The hour or so they spent together, which was supposed to be a blind date but was really just chatting over tea, was much more relaxed than he had expected.
Shimura Yuki is completely different from the gloomy and ruthless Danzo.
She has a gentle and even somewhat submissive personality, but she is very enthusiastic about medical logistics work.
Fortunately, Nishikawa Tetsuya was quite familiar with Konoha Hospital. In the words of Pharmacist Nono, he had spent some time "learning" at Konoha Hospital, although he believed he was only there for academic exchange.
Recalling the conversation just now, Nishikawa Tetsu couldn't help but want to laugh.
When he casually mentioned how he used chakra to help an ANBU ninja extract poisonous blood in the intensive care unit, Shimura Yuki's eyes, which had been darting away due to nervousness, instantly lit up.
Like a humble intern seeking knowledge, she kept asking about the techniques for controlling the flow of chakra in the tiny blood vessels, and even took out a small notebook from her sleeve pocket and started taking notes seriously.
This girl completely forgot that she came here for a blind date.
Nishikawa Tetsuya was quite generous, not only answering her questions but also casually mentioning the amusing incident of Tsunade-sama getting drunk and acting crazy in the hospital not long ago.
When it comes to Lady Tsunade, Shimura Yuki starts talking non-stop about her glorious achievements, which shows that she really admires Lady Tsunade.
"She's a pretty innocent girl."
Nishikawa Tetsu walked back to his desk with the empty teacup, casually stuffed the matchmaking resume with Shimura Yuki's photo into the deepest part of the drawer, and continued to bury himself in his work.
……
at the same time.
The head of the Ministry of Finance, Xiaochun, was sitting on a comfortable sofa, holding a cup of fine tea. His usually serious and rigid face was now chuckling.
"Hehehe... This kid has finally come to his senses."
Xiaochun took a sip of tea with great relish, feeling very happy.
Just now, she deliberately hid in the rest area not far from Nishikawa Tetsu's office to observe.
When she saw Shimura Yuki walk out of Nishikawa Tetsu's office, her delicate face showed a hint of shyness, but the corners of her mouth were genuinely turned up, and her steps were very light.
For someone like Xiaochun, who's been through it all, the meaning behind the girl's reaction couldn't be clearer.
"It seems the two of them are having a very pleasant conversation."
Xiaochun put down her teacup, a wise glint in her eyes.
Actually, it was intentional of her to mix Shimura Yuki into that pile of matchmaking materials.
Although Danzo was ousted from power, the Shimura clan was not completely eradicated.
Nishikawa Toru is currently at the height of his power. If he falls out with the Shimura clan, it will inevitably cause a new round of turmoil within the village, which is something she, as an advisor, absolutely does not want to see.
She was initially worried that, given Nishikawa Tetsu's vindictive nature, he would flip the table the moment he saw Shimura Yuki's name.
So she didn't have any hope, but she never expected that this kid would take the initiative to choose the Shimura family's little girl.
Today, she was worried that the two of them might not get along, so she was observing them secretly so that she could step in and smooth things over in time.
As it turned out, the two young people not only didn't have any unpleasantness, but also got along quite well.
"They were able to sit down and chat calmly with Danzo's relatives, and even escorted them out while laughing and joking."
Xiaochun nodded in satisfaction, her opinion of Nishikawa Tetsuki rising even higher.
"This kid has changed his ways. He knows how to consider the bigger picture and understands political compromise."
"As long as this marriage goes through, the conflict between Nishikawa Tetsu and the Shimura clan can be resolved. At that time, with his achievements and his relationship with the Uchiha clan, his position in Konoha will be as stable as Mount Tai for the next few decades."
Koharu was right about one thing: she really did treat Nishikawa Tetsu as her own junior.
The benefits that Nishikawa Tetsu has brought to Konoha over the past few years alone are enough to justify her doing this.
Xiaochun thought about it more and more and felt that her move was absolutely brilliant.
She had even started to imagine in her mind how big a red envelope she should prepare when the two got married, in order to show her status as a matchmaker and elder.
"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the office door, and Mitokado Yan walked in.
"Xiaochun, you're smiling so happily, what good news has happened?" He asked curiously, looking at his old partner's beaming face.
Koharu smiled and told Mitokado Homura what had just happened.
"Oh? Nishikawa Tetsu actually agreed to date the Shimura family girl?" Mitokado Homura was also somewhat surprised after hearing this. "This isn't like him at all."
"Young people are always easily blinded by emotions," Xiaochun said with a tone of satisfaction, as if she had been there before. "And this just shows that he has matured."
"That's true." Mitokado Homura nodded in agreement.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Our focus should be on the upcoming Five Kage Summit. Those old foxes are not easy to deal with."
"That's right."
Xiaochun's eyes sharpened.
"The Community of Shared Destiny plan represents a major upheaval in Konoha, unprecedented in a century. We must ensure its absolute success."
The two top advisors of Konoha exchanged a smile, as if they could already see Konoha's bright and glorious future.
Meanwhile, Nishikawa Tetsu, who was still working hard in his office and unaware that he had been unilaterally "arranged" in a clear and unpredictable manner, suddenly shivered without warning.
"Strange... I'm feeling a bit cold even though the air conditioning isn't on?"
Nishikawa Tetsu rubbed his nose and muttered something.
