Naruto: They are all reborn

Chapter 46 Who is the most important person in your heart (Part )
Tsunade ate the eel rice in small bites. When she felt like choking, she drank some soup. She put aside the wine that she usually loved.

The night wind disturbed the sleeping leaves, and they rustled in protest. Tsunade covered her face with the lid and smiled, feeling a faint sweetness in her heart.

Cute.

"Teacher, can you let..."

"Dah!"

"I haven't even finished yet."

"From your expression, I can tell you're thinking about something lewd."

After finishing the last piece of eel, Tsunade licked her lips with satisfaction, then took the side dishes and wine bottle in front of her and slowly considered them.

"Toki, you should have guessed it."

Toki nodded: "The appearance of Namikaze Naruto means that time travel is no longer an unfounded speculation."

Tsunade turned her head to look at him, thinking for a moment: "Do you think I came back like Namikaze Naruto?"

"Who knows?" Shi Xu raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Who says the teacher will never age and will always be so beautiful?"

Tsunade's cheeks turned red when he praised her, and she crossed her legs to hide her inner embarrassment, but this action revealed most of the scenery hidden under her hip-hugging shorts.

"I'm different from Naruto Namikaze. My consciousness traveled through time and returned to the present. Rather than traveling through time, it would be more accurate to describe it as rebirth. I sorted it out a little bit. The timeline before my rebirth is A, Naruto Namikaze's timeline is B, and the current timeline is C."

Shi Xu asked with great interest, "How did you get this?"

"Because in timeline A... you're already dead."

"Oh, so how did I die?"

Tsunade pouted her lips slightly, like a little girl whose prank had failed: "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

Shi Xu spread his hands and said, "Because I'm just a listener, I don't have any real feelings at all."

"...You suddenly defected during the Third Shinobi World War. Not long after, I found your body in the Land of Rain... Ahem!!!"

After saying this, Tsunade picked up the bottle and took a big gulp. She choked because she drank too quickly. The spicy alcohol irritated her throat and dyed her cheeks red.

"Rain Country?" Shi Xu murmured, handing over a glass of cold water. "The only reason I can think of for returning to Rain Country is because Xiaonan and the others needed me. And they left in such a hurry, it must be because they were in danger."

"it's out of the question!"

"why?"

"Because... because they died a long time ago." Tsunade avoided his gaze, not daring to look at him. "As early as the beginning of the Third Shinobi World War, Jiraiya received news that those three children had died in the war. That was the first time you drank alcohol. Although you were not yet an adult, I allowed it."

"After I sobered up, you and I agreed to return to the Rain Country to pay our respects after the war was over. But not long after, I received news that you had defected from the battlefield in the Land of Earth."

At this moment, Shi Xu asked seriously: "Teacher, what do you think of me?"

"Smart, handsome, thoughtful..."

"Wait, don't rush to praise me. I'm talking about character or thinking." If it were normal, Shi Xu would definitely listen to Tsunade's praise patiently.

Tsunade thought for a long time and replied, "He is rational and has excellent execution ability. He is an excellent ninja who can think calmly and make decisions no matter what the circumstances."

"In timeline A, you've shown excellent tactical acumen since your Genin days, even outperforming the Nara clan's ninjas. The only criticism is that you always included a large number of detonating tags in your tactics." "After the war began, you naturally took on the position of tactical advisor in the Hokage's office, and your opinions were incorporated into Konoha's battle plans. It was only after that incident that you were assigned to the Land of Earth battlefield as a battlefield commander."

"Cough cough!"

Shi Xu coughed twice and continued, "If that's the case, under what circumstances would I lose my mind and defect without a word?"

"You mean?"

"That's right...someone wants me dead." Shi Xu was silent for a moment before continuing, "He must have given me some reason I couldn't refuse, such as...Konan and the others are alive but in danger. And he must have given me very clear evidence, otherwise I would never believe him."

"Then the news that Master Jiraiya received must be fake news. The mastermind behind this plotted against Master Jiraiya, Konan, and me. So his purpose is..."

As he was talking, Shixu suddenly remembered Nagato's unusual eyes, which looked like strange tree rings.

Samsara Eye!
His goal is the Rinnegan!

"Teacher, you just said... I was in charge of the battlefield in the Land of Earth. If that's the case, how could that person bypass the defense of the Konoha camp and bring the evidence to me?" Shi Xu spoke faster and faster, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Before Tsunade could reply, he gave the answer himself: "Either he possesses a very advanced ability to conceal his secrets from the entire Konoha camp, or... he is one of us. Sensei, did you find out anything after my death?"

As soon as the words fell, Tsunade's expression froze, and her eyes were erratic: "Well... after you died, I have been drinking heavily and didn't care about anything... I didn't even go to the hospital."

……

Shi Xu sighed, a deep sigh.

"The teacher is obviously a very strong person, why?"

Tsunade stopped drinking and just looked up at the moon, smiling as if talking to herself: "Am I strong?"

"That was just forced strength... I don't have any relatives left, no one important to me, no one I want to protect. Shixu, whether it's me in timeline A or me now, you're the only one left."

"You've always been so reliable, so mature since childhood. Sometimes... I can even be a carefree child in front of you. I can actually rely on you, on my own disciple..."

Shi Xu listened to her chatter quietly and attentively, but the sadness in her words seemed to solidify into a substantial ribbon, with the other end held in his hand.

Finally, he stood up, bowed slightly, and said very seriously: "Teacher, marry me in the future."

Tsunade froze in her chair, staring at him blankly. The wine glass was already at her lips, but she forgot to drink it. "Are you... serious?"

"I'm always serious."

"…What about Kushina?"

"I'm a greedy ghost, so together...hiss!"

Bang!
Shi Xu and his chair flew out of the pavilion and landed in the yard.

Tsunade put the wine glass on the table and said unhappily: "Scumbag."

Shi Xu stood up and brushed off the grass debris from his hair: "Teacher, I have an idol named Wei Xiaobao, who has seven wives."

Tsunade sneered: "So you want to marry seven too?"

"No," Shi Xu shook his head, "It's because he's such an open scumbag. I just like them all, I just want them all. You can scold me, you can beat me, but I just want to marry you all home."
