Different from his usual casual search, this time Naruto spent three or four days searching and found the Bear Country from the Tea Country.
The hardships involved are not obvious to outsiders, but every space jump made Naruto feel like he was looking for a needle in a haystack, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
At first I had a good attitude, then I became irritable, and finally I felt real.
"Where can Tsunade hide, how can she not find it!" Naruto scratched his messy black head. Three days of running around made his appearance a little haggard.
"Look for one more day, and forget it if you can't find it again." He said angrily. He couldn't leave Konoha for too long, Hinata, Ino and the others would be worried.
"If you can't find it, take this potion to restore youth and feed it to the dog. Send it!"
Although he said that, after complaining, Naruto continued to inquire about information. Lin Haisensen, he really wanted to slap himself.
What a shame. Is there anyone in this miserable place? Not to mention Tsunade, it's not easy to escape even a single person alive in the deep mountains and old forests, so it's better to just leave.
The moonlight is bright and the night birds are cooing.
He stood at the top of the tree canopy in the forest and glanced back. He saw the dim moonlight and a wisp of smoke floating in the distance. He couldn't see clearly, but it was definitely not the movement caused by some wild beast.
Anyone?
Naruto's expression was a little hesitant. He thought that it was impossible for Tsunade to really enter the old forest, right? Even if there are people, they may be local aborigines, but most likely not.
No need to waste time looking elsewhere.
With this thought in mind, he opened the door to the underworld with his backhand. He was about to leave but hesitated. Finally, he sighed helplessly and walked towards the direction where the white smoke was coming out, cursing.
I've been looking for it for three days, and it won't hurt if I delay it for a while longer.
He followed the white smoke, walked through the jungle, and casually killed a python. After finally reaching the end of the white smoke, I only saw a bonfire.
"Huh? No one?" Naruto was dumbfounded. He ran over and there was no one there.
However, the blazing bonfire in front of him was obviously not something that a wild beast could create. After some thought, he walked towards the bonfire.
The next second, several rustling sounds of breaking wind sounded.
Naruto turned his head to dodge, and several steel needles were inserted into the ground with a loud bang. A large amount of soil was instantly stirred up in front of his eyes. Grass clippings flew everywhere, and what was even more amazing was that the steel needles were still quenching poison.
He glanced at it and felt that the steel needle looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he patted his head and realized that he had seen these steel needles before, and Shizune always carried an identical set with her.
After being stunned for two seconds, Naruto suddenly became happy. Fortunately, he didn't leave directly.
This steel needle is like a mechanism set up. There is a high probability that people are still nearby, or will come back, so just wait here. Naruto simply sat down by the campfire and felt a little bored after waiting for a while.
So he took out the kerosene and charcoal from the sealed space, put it on the shelf, and started a barbecue for himself.
As soon as the seasonings were applied and the aroma wafted out, there was movement all around.
A ball of fire moved slowly from a distance, finally pushed aside the bushes, and stopped in front of Naruto. Shizune held a torch and Tsunade followed behind, glancing at Naruto.
Tsunade was wearing the green robe, with the word "Gamble" circled in black on a white background on the back. Judging from the material, it should be a new custom-made dress. I haven't seen her for a year or two, and she still looks the same.
"Barbecuing in such deep mountains and forests, Uzumaki Naruto, are you tired of living like this?" Tsunade asked.
"I went out for a walk, why are you here?" Naruto started to talk nonsense.
"How many thousands of miles did you travel?" Shizune couldn't help complaining, "How did you find this place, where there is no one there?"
"I don't know, maybe I got lost." Naruto continued to talk nonsense, "That's all, do you want to sit down and eat something first?"
"Forget it, sit down." Tsunade said.
Shizune put away the steel needle trap first, and then sat down next to Tsunade. At this time, Naruto had already handed over a glass of warm wine. She hesitated for a moment and said thank you.
Shindo Naruto, this guy has changed his gender?
After taking a sip of warm soju, Shizune became more and more uneasy. She knew Naruto's character very well. Although overall it's pretty good, there are some aspects that are unusual.
Something is wrong, 100% wrong, Tsunade-sama seems to have no defense at all.
"Do you have such a convenient function?" Tsunade picked up a piece of barbecue, took a bite and was a little surprised, and then took another sip of warm wine.
"It seems like it's much more convenient to have you with me than Shizune."
Shizune suddenly felt a bolt from the blue, turned her head and stared blankly at Tsunade, tugging on her robe and crying.
"Tsunade-sama, you can't do this!"
"It's just a joke!" Tsunade was impatient and pulled her clothes back forcibly, "If you pull it off any longer, Oppai will be exposed!"
Hearing this, Shizune suddenly let go of her hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade asked as she glanced at Naruto while adjusting her clothes.
"How many days have you been without rest in this outfit?"
"I came all the way here," Naruto replied.
Tsunade was holding a wine glass and was about to drink. When she heard these words, she couldn't help but pause for a moment. The firelight swayed on her face, making her look a little delicate.
"Did something happen in the village?"
"Everything is fine in the village, Kakashi is a qualified Hokage." Naruto said calmly, reaching out to lift the wine bottle that was warming on the fire.
There was originally only a bonfire in the forest clearing, but Naruto expanded it several times. A barbecue rack was set up directly on the ground, and boxes of fresh ingredients were placed on the ground.
There was even a brazier on the ground, with charcoal burning in it and an iron mesh on top to warm the wine. The fireworks were red and hot.
Tsunade was in good spirits and didn't look tired at all. Shizune probably had some props like a space scroll. Even in the deep mountains and old forests, basic living standards can be maintained.
The temperature difference between day and night in the forest is so big that ordinary people can't stand it. Shizune couldn't help but shrink down, eating barbecue and warming herself with hot wine.
"I'm married," he said.
The charcoal emitted a red-hot light. The wood in the campfire could not withstand the high temperature, and it exploded with a pop, shooting out a line of sparks.
Tsunade lowered her eyes, stared at the flames and hummed. Her eyes were narrow and long, the standard beauty eyes, and her face looked a little cold when they lowered.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen. Shizune held the warm metal wine glass in her hands, her palms were slightly hot, and her heart couldn't help but thump. She didn't dare to look directly at Tsunade, she only dared to raise her eyes and look at her with her peripheral vision.
Fortunately, after ten seconds, Tsunade took the initiative to break the silence.
"When did it happen?" she asked aloud.
"Last month." Naruto said, "It was decided on the spur of the moment. The turmoil over Yakushi Kabuto's side was not completely dealt with, and I was afraid that the war would start again."
"I wanted to inform Tsunade-sama, but I couldn't find you."
"Shizune and I were probably looking for medicinal materials last month. It's normal that you couldn't find us. The ninja world is so big, and the two of us went to some remote places." Tsunade said.
It's a response, but it's not really a response.
"Who are you marrying?" she asked again.
"Ino, and Hinata."
"Cough cough cough!!!" Shizune didn't hold back at all. She almost spit out all her drink. She raised her head suddenly and looked at Naruto in disbelief.
Tsunade was unusually calm, as if she had expected it.
"That's good too."
"It's pretty good," he said. (End of chapter)
