"Sigh, sigh, all you do is sigh!"
"Konoha Village is no longer my era. There's nothing wrong with living a good life."
"Your son was beaten like this, and you didn't dare say a word!"
"After all, Tsunade was doing it for Asuma's 'good'."
"What's so good about it? Your daughter-in-law has been snatched away!"
"We can just find another one. There are so many people in the clan, what kind of person don't we have..."
"Then find a suitable girl as soon as possible so that Asma can forget that woman."

The bustling streets were filled with the occasional sound of fireworks.
It was three days later, at the start of the third Chunin Exams.
The third Chunin Exam was held in the arena. Because all five Kage were going to be there, there were a lot of people watching. In addition to seated tickets, standing tickets were also available, and the exam was broadcast on television.
The first ninja village to arrive was the Fourth Raikage, along with his two guard teams and the three members of Samui's squad.
"Welcome, Fourth Raikage."
As the host, Konoha decided to send a prestigious delegation, led by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, to personally welcome them.
"The Second Hokage."
"I've heard your story since I was a child. If it's convenient, I'd like to have a match with you after the Chunin Exams." The Fourth Hokage, A, had a fiery temper and spoke bluntly, which startled the Cloud Village ninja and the other two members of Samui's team present. Samui covered his forehead, looking somewhat helpless.
Tobirama Senju's eye twitched: "Let's talk about it another time. Please come in."
"Hahaha—" Fourth Generation Ai laughed heartily, then led his team, following behind the Anbu, towards the arena.
After the Cloud Village's team entered, it was followed by the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki's team.
As Ōnoki entered the gates of Konoha Village, he saw the dazzling array of 'welcoming parties' and understood that Konoha was demonstrating its strength.
"Second Hokage, it's been a long time."
Ōnoki had met the Second Hokage before, so he greeted him.
"Onoki, it's been a long time. How are you doing?"
"...Are you trying to fool me? I'm not young anymore... Ouch! My back!"
Halfway there, Onoki suddenly clutched his lower back.
For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether he was faking it or genuinely.
Tobirama Senju sneered, "Should I have the Anbu take you to Konoha Hospital for treatment?"
"In that case, you shouldn't participate in watching the Chunin Exams..."
Upon hearing this, Onoki raised his hand, interrupting Tobirama Senju: "It's nothing, it's just a temporary ailment, nothing serious."
Compared to the intelligence from Konoha Hospital, this Chunin Exams are far more important.
It's true that his granddaughter obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, but the abilities that the others obtained are powers that have never been heard of in the ninja world before, so we must find out more about them.
"Then please."
As the Iwagakure team entered, another new team followed.
"Who are you?" Tobirama Senju saw a beautiful woman with brown hair, green eyes, and wearing a blue robe, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Because the change of Mizukage in Kirigakure was not publicized, most countries in the ninja world, and even the rogue ninjas of Kirigakure, still believe that Kirigakure is still under the rule of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.
"I am the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi."
"It seems the rumors were true after all; the Second Hokage of Konoha has indeed been resurrected, and he's quite handsome too~ Interested in considering it..."
"Ahem." Wearing a mask and pretending to be a member of the Kirigakure Anbu, Yagura Karatachi coughed.
"Tch." Mei Terumi curled her lip.
Tobirama Senju ignored the other party's 'teasing' and began to recall Mei Terumi's name. Finally, he thought of the Terumi clan, a family in Kirigakure known for their Lava Release bloodstains.
"I see. Welcome to the Fifth Mizukage. Please." After understanding the situation, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but feel a deep sense of apprehension towards Kirigakure.
Although there were 'rumors' claiming that Kirigakure's strength had been greatly reduced due to the Blood Mist policy, with the Blood Clan wiped out, it seems that things are still going well.
Based on his senses just now, Tobirama Senju felt that the 'Hidden Mist Anbu' posed a slight threat, which meant that the other party was a decent Jonin.
Moreover, as the Fifth Mizukage, he dared to bring only a small squad of Kirigakure ANBU to protect him, and it seems that the strength of this Kirigakure ANBU squad is also quite good, which shows the strength of the opposing ninja village.
Then came the last village, Sunagakure.
Rasa led two squads responsible for protecting himself. The two squads were guarded in the same way as those of other ninja villages (except Kirigakure), consisting of two Jonin and six elite Chunin. Since no candidates from Sunagakure passed the exam, he could only force a smile and exchange a few words with Tobirama Senju before heading to the venue.
Meanwhile, due to the immense popularity of the third Chunin Exams, many merchants transported large quantities of inventory, and the streets were packed with customers. In addition, some merchants even set up televisions in their shops to attract customers so that they could watch the exams from the outside.
This scene also gave Yekura, who wanted to assassinate the Fourth Kazekage, an opportunity to enter the village.
Hidden in the crowd, draped in a black robe, she caught a glimpse of the 'spirited' Luo Sha out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but bite her red lips.
Despite seeing the 'magnificent' defensive forces of Konoha Village, she held back, planning to carry out the assassination when Rasa's team returned to the village after the Chunin Exams.
At this moment, inside the venue, Uchiha Bufan was sitting in the seats that Tsunade had 'specially' bought for him and Sasuke, and he was overjoyed.
This position, being in the front row, offers a better view of the battles within the arena.
"Extraordinary!"
Bufan was leaning over the railing, watching the staff cleaning the area, when he suddenly heard Shikamaru and Naruto's voices and turned around to look.
"Hey, Shikamaru, Naruto, Ino, Choji, Sakura, what brings you all here? I thought you were planning to watch the live broadcast at home."
"Hehe, thanks to Shikamaru for getting a few seats, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to see the game. We were in the second row!" Naruto excitedly held up his half-torn ticket.
Sakura Haruno was about to complain about why Bufan called her "Sakura-nii" (Sakura-san), but when she suddenly saw the cool-looking boy standing next to Bufan, she jumped out and said, "Sasuke! You're here too! Where are you sitting? Should I ask Naruto to give you his seat?"
Naruto:?
Sasuke's lips twitched upon hearing this. He raised his right hand and pointed his thumb to the spot behind him: "There."
Sakura Haruno looked in the direction Sasuke was pointing, and her expression suddenly froze: "The...first row?"
"Yeah." Sasuke nodded.
"Then...then Bufan, you're also number one, in the first row?" Haruno In seemed to understand something and planned to curry favor with Bufan to get a better position.
"Uh. Sasuke and I aren't seated together." Bu Fan's lips twitched; he knew what Sakura Haruno was thinking.
Who is that?!
Seeing this, Shikamaru couldn't help but cover his forehead: "Sakura's still such a fangirl..."
"Speaking of wells..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shikamaru noticed Ino turning her head to look around, as if searching for something.
"Ino, what are you looking for?" Choji asked directly while eating potato chips.
"Let me see which guy is sitting next to Bufan. I want to switch seats."
Shikamaru: ...
His head hurt even more.
Not long after, the people sitting on either side of Bufan and next to Sasuke appeared.
"Sasuke!"
"Rope Tree Bro." Sasuke waved and looked at the group of people walking over.
There are four people in total: Kurenai Yuhi and her father, Tsunade and Nawaki.
"Greetings, Lady Tsunade!"
"Hmm." Tsunade nodded in response to the four children, then, seeing Naruto, she couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't Kushina here?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto scratched his head and said, "Mom said she watched it at home and that the Chunin Exams weren't anything special. She's watched it countless times before and just wanted me to have fun."
"I see..." Tsunade's lips twitched twice. In the week since her resurrection, apart from having a meal with Kushina and Naruto's family, she hadn't explained the 'heaven-defying rewards' the examinees had received.
'Kushina will probably be really angry after the match.'
"Could it be... could it be that Lady Tsunade is one of the extraordinary two positions..." Ino thought to herself, her eyes losing their light.
Tickets for the Chunin Exams have been sold at exorbitant prices, with a seat in the first row costing around 200,000 ryo, which is equivalent to an A-rank mission.
So, she originally planned to use all her savings, which amounted to 60,000 taels, to exchange for a second-row seat with a price difference of about 50,000 taels...
"You are Haiyi's daughter, aren't you?"
"Yes Tsunade-sama."
You seem to have something to say to me.
"Emmm... Lady Tsunade, I... I want... I want..."
Shikamaru pressed down on the timid Ino's shoulder, interrupting her speech, and said on her behalf, "Lady Tsunade, Ino wants to become your disciple."
Ino:?
"Oh. So that's what it is." Tsunade raised an eyebrow, then waved her hand: "Let's talk about this after you grow up and graduate from the Ninja Academy. You're still young, so just enjoy your youth. Don't enter the ninja profession so early."
Tsunade looked up and saw that the venue was bustling with noise and activity.
Back then, she didn't get to enjoy her youth; she went to the battlefield at a very young age, and it was a truly tragic experience.
Shikamaru learned a little about Tsunade and Kurenai's mission from his father.
Tsunade and Kurenai sat on either side of Bufan, actually to act as 'controllers' to 'stabilize' each other.
If Ino goes there, things might go wrong.
Then, everyone returned to their places.
Tsunade sat to the left of Bufan, and Kurenai sat to the right of Bufan. To Tsunade's left sat Nawaki and Sasuke, and to Kurenai's right sat Shinku Yuhi.
At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi is sizing up this 'future son-in-law'.
When he learned that Kurenai Yuhi had been assigned this 'mission,' he was the first to object.
Because even if he himself didn't want a second life, he wouldn't allow his daughter to get close to an 'uncontrollable' being.
If he were to be eliminated by the other party one day and could not be resurrected, then he, the resurrected white-haired man, would have to bury his black-haired son.
"Uchiha Bufan, right? My daughter told me about him..."
"Father!" Kurenai's beautiful eyes widened, but instead of uttering a sound, she uttered the words:
"Didn't we agree on that?"
'Just a quick meeting, and you happen to watch the game?!'
Kurenai Yuhi felt somewhat helpless; he simply wanted to test whether the other party had truly "stable down" as his daughter had said.
“Uncle Zhenhong.” Bufan responded politely, then, seeing Hong’s somewhat 'urgent' expression, he smiled and said, “It seems that Sister Hong has already told you.”
“Yes.” Ignoring Kurenai’s 'silent warning', Yuhi Shinku continued, “You’re not even 10 years old yet, more than ten years older than my daughter. Can you really accept the fact that my daughter will grow old after you grow up?”
This was another thing he was worried about.
--future.

Hearing her father's question, Kurenai was slightly moved, but then a hint of worry appeared on her face. She knew that they could only become boyfriend and girlfriend when Bufan 'grew up'.
By then, she'll probably be a "leftover woman" in her mid-thirties.
That is a problem.
Uchiha Fufan pondered for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "Uncle Kurenai, please rest assured, I will never abandon Kurenai just because she gets old."
"To protect those I want to protect, that is my ninja way!"
There must be a way!
Looking at the extraordinary and resolute face, Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat moved. "I see... Alright, Uncle will entrust Kurenai to you for now. If Kurenai doesn't live well, Uncle will make trouble for you."
