Hearing this, Tsunade paused for two or three seconds before speaking.

"The S-class mission of Tian Country, Orochimaru is active there, Jiraiya went to investigate."

"Oh, Orochimaru." Naruto felt relieved. At least Jiraiya's good friend Orochimaru only wanted immortality and had no time to fight with Jiraiya to the death.

"That's okay." He said.

"Why are you so concerned about Jiraiya's whereabouts? It's like you're worried about him." Tsunade knocked on the table and looked at him with her beautiful eyes, "Shouldn't you be worried about yourself?"

Naruto smiled, sat there with long arms and legs, raised his head and leaned on the back of the chair, and said very proudly.

"The wicked live a thousand years."

Tsunade smiled, her face was full of joy, and the bottom of the abyss in her chest could not be seen.

"Your heart is indeed a little dirty. I feel relieved when you say that. However, you don't seem to have explained it clearly to me about the Nine-Tails thing?"

"This." Naruto couldn't explain.

Seeing this, Tsunade didn't force him, she rubbed her forehead and asked.

"Forget it, I still have a headache after knowing it. Tell me about Princess Sunagakure's incident. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"I don't know." Naruto looked confused, but this was the truth, "I just heard about that incident when I came back. It really has nothing to do with me, I didn't do anything."

"You haven't done anything? The little princess Sunagakure has a special relationship with you, right?" Tsunade glanced at him, "Otherwise, why would I support you for no reason?"

"I don't know about this. After all, I was on a mission at that time." Naruto defended, "Besides, to say the least, maybe the other party took a fancy to my potential."

"I have taken a fancy to you." Tsunade said, "I probably want to poach you, but I have taken a fancy to you and you are no longer the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

"I won't go. I will always be loyal to Tsunade-sama." Naruto, full of desire for survival, stood up with a bang, "I won't go anywhere unless Tsunade-sama leaves."

Tsunade rolled her eyes, completely disbelieving in his unconscionable lies. But she didn't want to delve deeper. She sat up straight, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"In addition to the princess of Sunagakure, there is also the princess of Tori Kingdom, Ibis, and this time the princess of Snow Kingdom, Fenghua Koyuki." She frowned and looked at Naruto with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Do you have a special fetish for princesses?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Naruto refused to admit it and said in a low voice, "Ino is not a princess, I just like her very much."

"The princess of the Yamanaka clan doesn't count. Konoha's Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clan is also famous in the ninja world. Don't underestimate the Yamanaka clan."

"Where's Hinata?" Tsunade hugged her chest and asked interestingly, "Little Princess Hinata, don't you like it?"

"Well." Naruto turned to look out the window, "The weather is good today."

"Really?" Tsunade looked at him with a smile, "I don't mind your efforts, and I don't expect you to stay in Konoha, but there is one thing."

"I will stay in Konoha." Naruto sneered.

Tsunade sat there, raising her eyebrows, with a look on her face that said, "Do I believe you?"

"Who can be better than you, Uzumaki Naruto, you don't even learn senjutsu, and even a Hokage position can't keep you. Even if I bring all the fame and fortune in the world, you will still leave if you should."

"That's not the case. I can't see Tsunade-sama sad, so I won't just run away." Naruto said with a smile.

"You have a very poor mouth. You don't say a few words when you hide something from me." Tsunade glanced at him with her golden pupils, "Isn't that right?"

Okay, that topic can’t be avoided.

"Tsunade-sama, is Konoha's technology too backward?" he asked, changing the subject.

"After all, the ninja world has not been peaceful recently. The village's energy is focused on defense and training ninjas." Tsunade's attention was diverted and she frowned.

"In the future, there may be a great turmoil in the ninja world, and Konoha will bear the brunt."

"Is this Tsunade-sama's guess?" Naruto asked in surprise.

"No, it's the prophecy that Jiraiya brought from Mt. Myoboku." Tsunade knew everything about him, "Including Jiraiya's mission to Tian Country this time is also related to that prophecy."

"The prophecy of the Toad Immortal?"

"Hmm."

"About what?" Naruto was a little confused. He had already gone to Mount Miaomu and worshiped at the top of the mountain. Logically speaking, if there was any prophecy, he should have said it at that time.

"The child of prophecy." she said.

"Strange things, where did the child of prophecy come from?" Naruto was slightly startled, "Tsunade-sama, is the news reliable?"

"There's no guarantee." Tsunade crossed her arms in front of her chest, her white hair flickering, "Jiraiya said he wanted to go over and take a look, but the specific situation is not clear yet."

"Let's talk about technology in the ninja world. Even communicators are common in the Snow Country." Naruto said seriously, "Isn't it time for Konoha to develop, Tsunade-sama?"

"The current situation." She frowned.

"We can't fight." Naruto said with determination, "At least we won't be able to fight within a few years."

"How do you know?" Tsunade asked, "Kumogakure has always had thoughts about Konoha. Now that Konoha's tailed beasts are gone, it would be strange if Kumogakure doesn't make any moves at all."

Of course he knows that Yunyin is seriously injured now, and the news has not come back yet.

After Tsunade finished speaking, Naruto twisted in his chair with some discomfort, looked at Tsunade with some confusion and asked.

"What to do with the investigation mission of Yuyin Village? Is it really necessary to prioritize the Five Shadows Conference?"

"Otherwise?" Tsunade calmly took a sip of wine, "Now that I have spoken, Konoha will naturally respond. Don't you want to accompany me?"

"That's not true." Naruto's signature smirk, "I'm just worried about the mission of the Land of Rain."

"You should be able to come back in about a month. By then, Jiraiya will have almost finished his mission." Tsunade said, "You have a lot of time to complete the mission of the Land of Rain."

A few more days have passed, and the date for the Five Shadows Conference is getting closer and closer.

But not everyone in the major ninja villages is idle, each has his or her own business. From the time the message is sent to the time the ninja village responds and the time is coordinated, it takes less than half a month.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Especially in Konoha's situation, Tsunade will be away for a while, and Jiraiya is out on a mission again, which means that there are almost no people in Konoha who can restrain Danzo.

So Tsunade was extremely busy during this period. Except for not staying up late, she stayed in the office almost all day long to deal with official duties. Naruto was very idle and rested for several days in a row.

In the meantime, Hinata let him go, and they agreed to go pick out gifts together, but Team 8 received a temporary assignment and stopped again. Hinata blushed and bowed to him several times, which made even a person as thick-skinned as him...

I'm a little embarrassed.

It wasn't until Team 10 returned to the village after completing its mission that he felt some relief from his lonely days.

Roadside stall.

There are always crowds of people here, especially after nightfall.

Ino touched her lips with some discomfort, and looked timidly at the flow of people. Just as she was thinking wildly, she saw Naruto appearing under the street lamp across the street through the crowd.

He was wearing black, short-sleeved pants, and summer attire. Ino saw him squeezing through the crowd and walking towards her little by little. He was tall and big, with a long stride.

His height and temperament are somewhat different. He has messy blond hair and is indescribably lazy. He is also tall and has a hormonal tendency to walk.

As she grew older, the girl's thoughts became more complex and she became more sensitive to matters between men and women. She saw Naruto squeezing through a group of people, and someone looked back at him.

When she came to her senses, Naruto was already standing in front of her.

"You've grown a little taller again?" Ino stretched out her hand to measure his height, "You must have grown a little taller, right?"

"No." Naruto glanced at her, "It seems like it wasn't that long since we last met. How can you grow taller so fast? Bamboo pole?"

"The last time was a month ago." Ino rolled her eyes at him, she remembered.

"That's a long time." He touched his face and said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, everyone has a lot of tasks recently." Ino walked up to him, turned around and said with a smile, "I am now a chuunin."

The BBQ restaurant is still the one close to the Akimichi station. Both the taste and the portion are very generous, and it is usually crowded with people.

But at this point, and the place was remote, there weren't many people when Naruto and Ino arrived. But they still couldn't get a seat inside, so they had to set up a large tent with ventilation on all sides outside.

Shikamaru and Choji did not stand up, but waved to Naruto and Ino as a greeting.

There was a dim lamp above the head, barely illuminating the people on the table. The boss bowed several times to express his shame that the conditions were simple.

Class 10 is a regular visitor here. Occasionally, he and Asma will book a dinner party here. A few of them comforted the boss and immediately got a few free plates of meat.

A few second-generation people were not short of money, so they took all the orders without hesitation. After collecting the things, they ordered some more food, and they could eat it anyway.

Naruto sat with Ino with a lazy look on his face, showing no intention of avoiding suspicion. Ino wanted to get up and sit on the other side, but he pulled him back as if nothing had happened.

"What? Are you going to isolate me when we meet?" he said with a smile on his lips.

Choji laughed so hard that his little eyes almost disappeared. He took a sip of barbecue and said to Naruto, "Then sit with me."

"No, I can't eat you." Naruto straddled one leg on the bench and said slowly, "I am now a high-ranking official in Konoha."

"Look at you playing like that." Shikamaru couldn't stand it anymore, "What's the point of hanging out with those people? All these old men are in trouble."

"What do you know?" Naruto was full of youthful spirit.

Ino was a little speechless and patted his leg. He then retracted his leg silently and sat upright, but his mouth was not idle.

"Hey, do you know? The Land of Snow even has a communicator, why is Konoha still such a dog?"

"What communicator?" Shikamaru glanced at him, "Isn't there one in the village?"

"That's not true. It's so bulky that it deserves to be called a communicator. It's just like an iron bastard." When Naruto mentioned technology, he couldn't control himself.

But when he saw Shikamaru winking at him, he realized something was wrong.

"Ino's father is in charge of the village's communications." Choji hit the target at the right time, and Naruto suddenly felt his scalp numb, and inadvertently hit his father-in-law with a critical blow.

"I think it's bulky too." Ino was not angry, but frowned, "But the village doesn't seem to care about upgrading."

"There are small, palm-sized communicators outside. You can use them alone." He gestured and quietly squeezed Ino's palm under the table.
