Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

If we don't remind you, soaking in a hot spring will turn into soaking in sand.

"..."

Gaara's usually expressionless face stiffened for a moment after hearing Kankuro's words.

-

at the same time.

Although Shirokumo Aoba was not in Konoha at the moment, he was not busy with any so-called important matters.

The environment he's in now isn't actually that different from Gaara's.

It's also a hot spring pool, but it's much larger than the hot springs in Konoha.

"So, this is the Five Kage Summit you were talking about?"

While sitting in the hot spring pool, Shirokumo Aoba heard a slightly arrogant voice, tinged with dissatisfaction.

He looked up and saw Kuroto, wearing a one-piece swimsuit, standing by the hot spring pool with his arms crossed, looking at him with some dissatisfaction.

The steamed buns have grown up too.

Baiyun and Qingye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

After all, when he came to soak in the hot springs more than half a year ago, Heitu couldn't even fill out this swimsuit.

It might be that it's reached puberty, or it might be for some other reason, but anyway, it's grown up.

"Honestly, I thought you'd finally be serious for once, but it turns out you're still the same."

Seeing that Baiyun Qingye was looking at him without saying anything, Heitu felt a little embarrassed and made another comment to divert attention.

She even slightly raised her arms, which were wrapped around her, as if trying to cover herself up.

"This is indeed the Five Kage Summit, just in a different venue."

Bai Yun Qingye couldn't help but smile at her actions.

"What kind of Five Kage Summit is this?"

Kurotsuchi glanced at Temari, who was wearing a beige bikini, and a few others who were even more outrageous, but in the end, she only found a sense of kinship with Shizune.

Mute: "?"

Are you polite?

"How can this not be a Five Kage Summit? Although Temari is not the Kazekage, she is the Kazekage's older sister and can represent the Kazekage to participate."

Seeing that Kurotsuchi glanced at Temari, Shirokumo Aoba also offered a teasing explanation.

Now, not only Kurotsuchi, but even Temari couldn't help but want to cover her face.

She had only heard that the Five Kage Summit was coming up, but then she was brought here...

However, apart from being a little caught off guard, there was nothing unacceptable about it; I'm used to it at home.

I never expected that Samui and Mabui would also be captured. I wonder what Yugito will think when he finds out.

"You bastard... Ugh!"

Heitu wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt someone push him from behind.

"Alright, with your skinny figure, how long are you going to keep showing off?"

Caught off guard, Kurotsuchi was pushed from behind into the hot spring pool in front of her by the mischievous Mei Terumi.

Hei Tu exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Baiyun Qingye was both amused and exasperated, and reached out to catch the somewhat panicked Heitu.

Of course, they are all top-tier ninjas, so even if they don't take the hit, nothing will happen; it will just cause a bigger splash.

"you……!"

Kurotsuchi glared at Mei Terumi from the water, somewhat annoyed. He wanted to curse her, but something caught his eye, and he couldn't help but mutter something.

"Hmph, it's grown so big, it'll definitely sag when it gets old, and then it'll look awful."

Samui: "?"

Why does she feel like she's been tagged too?

Chapter 817 Getting Shot While Lying Down

"is it?"

Hearing Kurotsuchi's sarcasm, Mei Terumi instead revealed a gentle smile, and then imitated Kurotsuchi's earlier gesture by lifting it up.

"Duang~Duang~Duang~"...

It was played several times.

The visual impact is off the charts.

It is clearly far superior to the black soil we just encountered.

This undoubtedly made Heitu's face darken once again.

Seeing her like this, Terumi Mei's contempt only grew more unrestrained, and she pretended to be distressed, acting as if she had gotten a good deal.

"However, this is not entirely a good thing. After all, it is quite a burden. Carrying such a heavy load while moving around and working every day is very distressing, and my shoulders often ache."

"..."

Samui, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look down at herself when she heard what Terumi Mei said. What Terumi Mei said was true, and she felt quite a bit of the same way.

She often talked about this with Mabui.

However, she wasn't doing it on purpose to show off like Mei Terumi.

She often experiences shoulder pain due to the heavy workload.

After all, compared to her, Mei Terumi is nothing.

Mei Terumi, of course, had no idea what Samui was thinking. Then, she lowered her gaze to Kurotsuchi's small steamed buns and said in a rather Versailles-like manner, "I really envy you, Kurotsuchi, you don't have any of these troubles at all."

"She really is a lewd, big-breasted woman!"

Black Earth gritted her teeth, wishing she could pounce on the other person and bite them, but she noticed Samui who had just gone into the water and said with some disdain.

“I’m still young, younger than you, and I’ll definitely have a long future ahead of me, unlike you, whose life is probably over for you. Compared to Samui, you’re not that great.”

Samui: "..."

How come she's involved in this?

Samui simply soaked in the hot spring with Mabui, not wanting to respond.

After soaking for a while, Mabuya gave her a disapproving look and then silently swam away.

Samui: What's going on now?

Then, following the linen-clad woman's gaze, she looked down and realized that she seemed to be floating on the water...

"..."

Samui's lips twitched involuntarily.

Is it her fault?

This is actually really tough, okay?

Not only do I often injure my shoulder, but I also have to endure all sorts of torment from someone. It's really tough.

As her best friend, she didn't understand her at all.

Samui sighed softly and simply started soaking in the water quietly.

Even for them, who are usually so busy, the hot springs in the land of hot springs are something they rarely get to experience.

It's a great way to take a vacation.

After listening to Kurotsuchi's words, Mei Terumi naturally glanced at Samui. After comparing them, although she knew she was no match for her, she did not agree with Kurotsuchi's words.

"While I may not be able to catch up with Samui, you may not be able to either. After all, some people never can... uh."

Miki stopped mid-sentence.

Although she was arguing with Heitu, she felt that if she said it out loud, it might hurt someone else.

As if on the same wavelength, the two looked at Shizune, who was preparing to go into the water.

The others also looked over.

"..."

Shizune felt everyone's gaze fixed on her, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

She was right there and didn't say a word, how could she be caught in the crossfire?

Shizune said with displeasure, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Cough, it's nothing, Jingyin, let's go to the bar together."

Mei Terumi withdrew her gaze, stopped arguing with Kurotsuchi, and instead pulled Shizune into the hot spring pool.

Mute: "..."

"It's okay, Shizune-neechan, let's cheer each other on!"

Kurotsuchi, on the contrary, clenched his fist and punched Shizune.

"hehe."

Silent chuckled, but it was a forced, insincere laugh.

She wasn't a little girl like Heitu; she had long since come to terms with this.

After all, she had seen all sorts of people, and apart from Karin, there was no one in her family younger than her.

You'll just have to get used to it.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Kurotsuchi didn't say anything more to Terumi Mei.
