The bonfire crackled and burned slowly, and the atmosphere became awkward again.
Shizune suffered on the spot for ten minutes, and her whole body felt a little bad. Was she suffering from Ying Ying? Both of them are weirdos. Sure enough, there can't be two kinds of people in a village.
She waited patiently for a while, but the two of them remained silent.
After finally finishing the wine on the stove, Shizune couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. She felt that they must say something this time.
In the blink of an eye, Naruto took out a box of soju from nowhere.
Tsunade seemed to be a little drunk. Warm wine was the easiest to get drunk, followed by frozen spirits. When it first entered my throat, I felt it was soft, and when I reacted, my brain was also dizzy.
She was not that drunk yet, she just stared at the bonfire in front of her and didn't know what to say. I wish him a happy wedding, I have just wished him a happy marriage.
He traveled thousands of miles to the deep mountains and old forests, covered in dust and mess, just to tell himself that he was married. If that's the case, that's a bit silly.
But even if Tsunade had some vague guesses in her mind, she would not ask directly. Drinking was just to find opportunities and kill time.
As time passed by, Shizune began to doubt her life more and more, whether she was unnecessary here. So after the two people exchanged a few words at the beginning, they haven't said a word now?
Is this going to sit until morning?
This way of drinking can only be done at noon, because sooner or later something will happen.
In the second half of the night, Shizune couldn't resist the sleepiness that came over her, and she felt like retreating. She accompanied Tsunade through many wild woods, and now she was also extremely trapped.
Logically speaking, it is time to pitch a tent and rest at this point.
Thinking of this, Shizune couldn't help but yawn. But just such a yawn attracted the eyes of Tsunade and Naruto at the same time, startling her.
"Sister Shizune, if you're really sleepy, go back and rest." Naruto advised.
Shizune looked puzzled. Why did it sound more and more like she was trying to get away from herself? She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but naturally she rejected Naruto.
But before she could say anything, Tsunade spoke up first.
"Shizune, go and rest."
Um? She was a little confused and turned to look at Tsunade, but received an indifferent look from her. Shizune immediately shut up, turned around and left obediently.
It's too scary, I can't afford to offend him, so I'd better run away.
Beside the bonfire, the night is dark.
This time, there were only two of them left. Tsunade became more and more silent. Naruto took out the firewood and stuffed it into the fire one by one. It was already late at night.
The moisture in the forest drifted closer with the night fog, and was evaporated within five meters of the fire. The temperature outside the fire was very low, and the faint sound of wind above the forest could be heard.
Naruto did not continue to warm the wine, looked up at Tsunade and asked.
"drink wine?"
"Yes." Tsunade responded and watched him pour out the wine and put it on the stove to warm. It was really strange to warm wine in the middle of the night in the deserted mountains and old forests.
"Before," he said carefully, "I was actually a little reckless."
"What?" Tsunade frowned slightly, "When did you say before?"
"The time I entered the dragon vein, I went back twenty years ago, and then I met you in the desert of the Kingdom of Wind." Naruto added.
"What? Now that you are married, your conscience starts to show up again?" Tsunade smiled mockingly, twitching the corners of her mouth, but there was no smile on her face.
After she said this, the memories that she thought were about to be forgotten suddenly surged out of her mind. It was far beyond her expectation, almost drowning her like a tide.
Then I thought, oh, twenty years have passed.
"That's right. I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Naruto said anxiously, "I've always been very concerned about it and shouldn't mess around."
"Is this an apology?" Tsunade suddenly smiled. She originally didn't want to mention the past, after all, it had been a long time ago.
"I found a way to make amends," he said.
"Forget it, half of my life has passed, make up for it," Tsunade waved her hand as if mocking herself, "I can barely remember what you said, so you don't need to care."
"Just forget about such a small thing."
"I don't want to forget that I didn't approach Tsunade-sama casually at the beginning." Naruto said calmly, "Because I like her, and it's hard to go back to twenty years ago. It's a pity not to see her again."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tsunade glanced at him, "That kind of thing happened when Minato was just a young man more than twenty years ago."
"At that time, it was impossible to associate it with Minato. I just thought it was strange, as if I had seen it somewhere."
"I didn't think much about it at the time. I already took the first step." Naruto's voice was hesitant. "I thought it wouldn't be anything bad at the time. It was just a little joke."
"I didn't expect it to be like this, right?" Tsunade lowered her eyes, looking a little lazy, "Honestly, it rained heavily that day and I thought you might not come."
"It may appear again in a few days, or maybe half a month. I have already thought about gambling with you again, and I will never lose again."
"Um."
"Who knows, this delay will last twenty years, and you will not have grown up when I see you again." Tsunade said with a smile, "Time is really a scary thing, but you are still like that, and I have become an old man first. Aunt."
"sorry."
"There is nothing to be sorry for. Maybe this is fate." Tsunade's eyes suddenly became complicated, "Uzumaki Naruto, the past is over. From now on, you can live a good life."
Naruto looked up. Before he came, he had already expected Tsunade's reaction, anger or indifference. But he didn't expect that Tsunade would admit it frankly now.
There may have been such a thought more than 20 years ago, but now, there is only one thing I can say: live a good life. Apart from that, there seems to be no other way.
"There is nothing we can do about it in the future." Naruto changed his subject, "Don't Tsunade-sama stay young forever?"
"What is eternal youth? It's just relying on the Yin seal to maintain physical youth. What? You want to learn? I asked you if you wanted to learn, weren't you unwilling?"
As she said that, Tsunade suddenly thought of what it was and frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Tsunade-sama, you misunderstood. What I meant was, is there a ninjutsu that can restore youth?" After Naruto explained the matter, he started to practice his old profession again.
fishing.
"Are you out of your mind?" Tsunade reached out to touch Naruto's forehead, with a complicated expression on her face, "Uzumaki Naruto, I used to think that you just have too many lustful thoughts."
"Now I find that you are so outrageous that you have no boundaries, at least humans can't."
She took a deep breath and said, "It's over today, do you understand? Time will not go back again. You should be a little more awake." (End of Chapter)
