Chapter 51
Tsunade retirement update
It had been a few weeks since Lady Tsunade retired as the village Hokage. Although she did like her job, it made her happy to pursue her real dreams and focus on advancing medical ninjuitsu. The success of the experimental procedure for Naruto and Sasuke was something that intrigued her and she spent a lot of her time studying and pouring over the books that survived the last battle. As discussed Kakashi created a position for her at the village hospital, and that's where she spent most of her time.
Before Kakashi was given the title of Hokage, her last request was that Yamato and his team build a suitable office for the 6th Hokage. Yamato got right to work and within two days he was completely finished, just in time for the ceremony. After the ceremony was over and people were done congratulating Kakashi, she asked him to take a walk with her through the village. As they were walking they stopped in front of the new building.
"What is this building replacing Lady Tsunade?" He asked. There were several new buildings in the downtown area and this one was by far the nicest.
"This, Kakashi, is your Hokage headquarters. We didn't have a chance to construct the Hokage office before because resources were so limited. Seeing as we are moving along in the rebuilding effort and the village has more resources, it's fitting that this office is restored for you. Consider it my parting gift," she said to him.
He raised his eyebrow and looked at her "Thank you, I was wondering where in the village I would go. I didn't want to be stationed out of the hospital," he said.
This made her smile as she reflected back. She also didn't want to give up her place in the hospital and that helped to drive her decision to have a building constructed for Kakashi.
She reminisced about recent events as she sipped her sake and turned the pages to her books. She tried to jog her memories about the other volumes of books that were lost and planned to re-create them from her memory with the help of Shizune and Sakura. Every time she ran across a specialty she thought was missing, she jotted it down and made notes about the brief steps to complete it, she expected it would take years before they were caught up completely. She couldn't believe she'd be spending her retirement on paperwork.
There was a knock at the door, Sakura and Shizune came in, several more books in their hands.
"There were just more books uncovered on the east side by the people rebuilding." Sakura said with a smile.
"Maybe this won't take as long as I thought," Lady Tsunade said as she stood up to look over the books, maybe she'd get to enjoy her retirement after all.
