Master, please become the Hokage

Just when Xiaochun was about to respond, a new guest entered the hot spring.

"Mito-sama..."

Utatane Koharu, who had excellent eyesight, immediately recognized the fairy-like figure as Uzumaki Mito.

The one who accompanied her to the hot springs was...

"Slug."

Lake Biwa, who already knew about the slug's transformation, was also a little surprised at first.

However, considering that it was a matter of the three holy places, it was easy to accept.

Uzumaki Mito, who was far away, did not notice the two juniors in the corner.

Uzumaki Mito, who had nothing to do, maintained his old habits.

Sarutobi Ryo's absence did not affect her hot spring bathing.

Because of the presence of her elders, Utane Koharu couldn't help but lower her voice to her bestie: "Well... Haiyi's cousin is really not a decent person..."

In the tone of an elder, Utane Koharu criticized Yamanaka Kei.

I'm already a girl in my 20s, but I don't even think about getting married.

so......

"If she doesn't give birth, others can."

After saying this, Utane Koharu immediately clamped her long white legs together.

She believes it.

As long as it happens enough times, you will definitely be able to...that thing.

Just like today, someone's brave performance...

That amount...

"Ok?"

Biwako didn't understand the hidden meaning and didn't notice anything.

"That Sarutobi Ryo is very loyal to Yamanaka Kei. They were childhood sweethearts and respected each other..."

Biwako couldn't help but shake her head as she thought about the personalities of her son and daughter-in-law.

"Especially that Sarutobi Ryo, he seems to have no interest in women... Aren't there plenty of girls who are better than Yamanaka Kei...?"

Lake Biwa means.

How come my son is not lustful at all?

This is completely different from his old father Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even if he is like my old father, he has the desire but not the courage to do it.

But at least you express it.

However, apart from practicing martial arts, my son also has tasks to do.

The strict and serious style is completely inherited from myself.

For the first time, Lake Biwa felt that this was not a good thing.

"Cough cough cough..."

On the other side, Utane Koharu couldn't help coughing.

Your son is not interested in women?

Just as she was about to complain, Utane Koharu suddenly thought of something.

"That Sarutobi Ryo is not interested in women? But he is interested in me..."

Utane Koharu immediately started imagining things and immediately felt that... she was extremely charming and the best!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

only......

Utane Koharu couldn't help but look at her best friend beside her.

The relationship between the two is that of good friends. They grew up together and know each other well.

However...this relationship that had lasted for half a lifetime was reversed in this year.

I mean, I have a new relationship with my best friend Lake Biwa.

By then, you will call me your bestie and I will call you mom?

This messes up the order of generations...

Utane Koharu, her mind full of random thoughts, cleared her throat and asked, "Biwako, what do you think... should I let go of my burdens and pursue my own happiness?"

"Ok?"

Biwako turned to look at her best friend.

The misty hot spring pool doesn't look very real.

So she didn't notice anything unusual about her best friend.

"You've served the village your entire life, and you deserve a good rest. You're well-deserved to do so..."

Biwa Lake just thought that her best friend was tired and wanted to retire.

She has given enough for the village.

There are so many outstanding juniors who can take over...

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Seeing that her best friend had misunderstood, Utane Koharu explained.

"I mean... do you think I'm worthy of a relationship?"

"..."

This question stumped Biwako.

That solemn face looked very funny after a hint of surprise appeared on it.

"Why not?"

After a few seconds, Biwako nodded, thinking that her best friend was worthy of a relationship.

"You've regained your youth and are in great shape... Xiaochun, don't you really know that many people in the village like you..."

Across children, teenagers, young people, middle-aged people, and even... many elderly people, they are all thinking about pursuing the popular goddess Xiaochun whom they liked back then.

In terms of suitors of all ages, Xiaochun has them all.

"Really?" Xiaochun responded, nodded, and then said, "What if... your son likes me?"

"Xiaochun, you really know how to joke." Biwa Lake turned her head away naturally, thinking that her best friend was just joking.

"Or maybe I like your son." Utane Koharu never stops saying shocking things, and she said this again.

"Cough cough..."

This time it was Lake Biwa's turn to cough.

"Then you'll have to call me mother."

Lake Biwa, which never jokes, made a rare joke.

It might be the first joke I've ever told in my life.

However, facing this teasing, Utane Koharu said very seriously: "Mother."

Lake Biwa: “…”

Utatane Koharu: "......"

Chapter 245. Kaguya is resurrected!

A few days later...

A cold and windy canyon.

Although it is spring, snow can still be seen on the mountain tops everywhere.

After enduring storms and other weather conditions along the way, the group finally arrived at the dark stall.

I saw five shadows, Ye Cang, Ai, Ohnoki, Yagura, Hatake Sakumo...standing together.

They looked at the bottomless chasm with solemn expressions.

Behind the five Kage are many skilled fighters who are responsible for guarding them.

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo took a step forward, and the pebble fell.

The pitch-black rift could not block Sarutobi Ryo's sight.

Looking down, everything became extremely clear.

The withered branches of the giant tree extended from below.

To those who do not know the truth, this place is just a relic of nature.

however.

Sarutobi Ryo, who had already seen through everything, was very clear that this was a branch of the sacred tree.

Towering branches, some several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers in length, extend deep underground.

And it is in the shape of a spider web, covering the entire planet.

1000 years ago.

Kaguya once used "Birth of the God Tree World" to make the God Tree grow all over the planet.

Although the branches on the surface withered and the trunk of the sacred tree was cut down.

But the remaining branches from 1000 years ago still exist beneath this land.

In other words, as long as these branches can be awakened, Kaguya's will can be seen.

especially......

White Zetsu, who has become the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, now has its body echoing with these branches.

Because White Zetsu is Kaguya's soldier and inherited Kaguya's will.

So its relationship... is closer than that between Six Paths Madara and Kaguya.

It is completely fine to say that White Zetsu is a cloned fragment of Kaguya's will.

and so.

As long as White Zetsu is thrown into the tree trunk, it will become something like a catalyst, prompting Kaguya's will to revive.

And that method...

Naturally, it is to use illusion to allow White Zetsu, who is born with the ability to merge with trees, to merge with the sacred tree.

But to be more secure.

Sarutobi Ryo also planned to use the Kiyomizu technique he learned from Hiruhu to make some adjustments.

soon.

A ball of blue gel appeared in Sarutobi Ryo's hand.

As Orochimaru released his restraint on Bai Zetsu.

Sarutobi Ryo rammed this ball of gel into White Zetsu's body.

boom!

"..."

The five Kage watched the scene intently, afraid of missing any details.
