In Konoha, Naruto lies down

He met with Inuzuka Kiba and discovered that the Inuzuka clan's leak of secrets was indeed related to the Root. However, he couldn't elaborate, so he could only arrange a time to discuss it.

Ino didn't indulge in the gentleness either. After a few days of tenderness, she started to work seriously. Naruto had some free time, so he went to Tsunade.

This was his first time meeting Tsunade since returning from his mission, intending to finalize the matter of the funding for the communicator. Konoha couldn't help but ask where such a large sum of money came from, and Naruto was ultimately at a loss for an explanation.

Only Tsunade could come up with this money, and no one would question the foundation of the Senju clan. His purpose was to make a promise to Tsunade and get the money in her name.

Knock, knock, knock. It was a quiet office, but he still chose to respect it.

"Come in." It was Tsunade's voice, a little lazy.

Naruto pushed the door open and walked in. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Tsunade looking up at him. Her eyes were full of resentment and a hint of restrained anger, which made his scalp tingle instantly.

"Hey, Lady Tsunade, what are you doing..." He couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Oh, it's you." Tsunade seemed to have recognized the wrong person and became indifferent again.

Naruto was terrified. He clearly saw that Tsunade gave him that look because she saw him clearly. It looked a bit creepy, as if she had some deep hatred.

But now that she looked so calm, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After a long moment of hesitation, Naruto finally asked tentatively.

"Is Lady Tsunade busy right now?"

"I'm not busy. Is there something wrong?"

"Yes." He scratched his face and prepared to speak.

There was a loud noise, and Tsunade stood up and started to walk out. She glanced at Naruto and said nonchalantly.

"Wait for me for a moment, I have something to do."

Naruto: “….”

If he really couldn't see anything wrong, he could just feed his eyes to the dogs. Tsunade's attitude clearly meant to embarrass him, but damn...

He himself was confused. He was fine half a month ago. This fat sheep had cunningly reached some dirty agreement with him. That was a topic for adults.

The two of them were planning to join forces to deal with Danzo, but Tsunade was still the main person in charge. At most, he was just someone who charged into battle and threw dirty water.

But no matter what, they were teammates on the same front. Close partners, not to mention the closeness of their relationship, but at least they were vulnerable... Pah, sincere and reliable.

Naruto really didn't understand Tsunade's situation. He sat in a chair and thought about it all, but he was still confused. It seemed like he hadn't offended her.

I didn't dare to speak and could only sit in the chair and wait.

After waiting for a long time, Tsunade seemed to have returned. Naruto stood up and was about to speak, but Tsunade ignored him and was about to go out again. Naruto was so angry that he almost died.

"Tsunade-sama, how have I offended you?"

"No, why would you say that?" Tsunade looked at him with confusion and explained, "I've been very busy lately, don't get me wrong, wait for me a moment."

With that, Tsunade left again.

Naruto waited from morning till noon, went out for a meal and came back to take a nap on the table, then waited from noon till afternoon. During this time, Tsunade never showed up.

"Damn it! That woman is just playing tricks on me!" He gritted his teeth and swore secretly in his heart that a gentleman's revenge is a gentleman's duty... You will have a hard time in the future.

It was not until the evening that the elusive Lady Tsunade finally showed up. She was slightly taken aback when she saw Naruto, and her first words almost gave Naruto a brain hemorrhage.

"Why are you here?"

With a snap, Naruto stood up straight away, and with trembling fingers, he said to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, you definitely did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"No." Tsunade stepped into her high-heeled sandals, and something was swaying somewhere, as if an avalanche was about to occur.

"Then why did Lady Tsunade leave me alone? Three times!! Three times in total!" Naruto was a little excited and was about to move forward.

"I didn't leave you hanging. I already said I was too busy."

"I'm busy... I'm not stupid." Naruto said, "Tsunade-sama, I haven't offended you recently, there's no need to do this, right?"

"How do you know you haven't offended me?" Tsunade crossed her arms across her chest and just looked at him.

Naruto suddenly remembered something and felt incredibly guilty. Things were getting a little awkward, and he was half tempted to withdraw, having a bad feeling about it.

"Remembered?" Tsunade sneered, staring at him straight in the eyes, "Why? Is it fun, Uzumaki Naruto?"

"No...it's not fun." Naruto took a few steps back, looking a little embarrassed. "So, Tsunade-sama, you already knew that I would...travel through time?"

"I don't know. To be precise, I only fully understood the moment you completed the mission." Tsunade stared at him dimly, her fists clenched, and she was already determined to kill him.

"Wait... wait, Lady Tsunade, calm down, calm down." He said as he backed away, cold sweat on his forehead.

It's all Danzo's fault, otherwise he wouldn't have accumulated conflicts with Tsunade. If he hadn't accumulated conflicts with Tsunade, he wouldn't have thought of traveling through time and space to take revenge on her.

Now that he's caught red-handed, there's no way he can deny it. He felt awkward, rubbing his hands together, not knowing what to do. Apologizing for this? It seemed like it would be useless.

I was just acting on impulse at the time, without considering the consequences. Now that I think about it, it's terrifying. I was the one who trained Tsunade to be a gambling goat.

Now that he has met the real culprit, he had been teasing Tsunade on purpose.

"Calm down? You want me to calm down?" Tsunade grabbed Naruto's collar, lifted him up, put her face close to him, banged her nose against his, and said viciously.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you deserve to die!"

"I was wrong, Lady Tsunade." Naruto's teeth were chattering, and it was obvious that Tsunade was really angry.

"You're so good, Uzumaki Naruto, you've set your sights on me?" Tsunade said fiercely, "Huh? You think I'm easy to fool, right?"

"How many truths do you have in your mouth, huh? Speak up, Uzumaki Naruto, weren't you very clear about what you said before? Why don't you play again?"

"I don't dare to play anymore." He said embarrassedly.

"Hmm? Aren't you very brave?" Tsunade was furious. "There is something you dare not do, right? You said you would see each other again, and this is your way of saying goodbye, huh? Speak."

Naruto was like a chicken this time, being held by Tsunade and not daring to look up. It was over, he had been caught. He was extremely nervous, afraid of getting a beating.

Fortunately, Tsunade didn't really beat him up. She threw him out and lay down on the chair with her eyes closed. Her eyes were filled with indifference as she glanced at Naruto who had just gotten up.

Twenty years had passed, so the last glimmer of hope in my heart slowly died at this moment. Life was like a farce, destined to end in absurdity.

"What else do you have to say?" Tsunade rubbed her brows.

"Uh...it's gone, it's gone." Naruto hesitated for a moment, knowing that Tsunade was in a bad mood and it was not the time to talk about things, so he decisively slipped away.

"Lady Tsunade, I'm going back first." After saying that, he slipped away immediately.

Tsunade sat alone in the huge office, watching the light dim little by little, her eyes fixed on the table, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chapter 364 Jingyin: You don’t think Tiantian is innocent and easy to be deceived, do you?

Naruto got off to a bad start and fled directly from the Hokage Building. He couldn't afford to offend Tsunade. He would ask her after Tsunade's anger subsided. Hopefully, she's alright.

Lush green trees are everywhere in Konoha, and they find their way into every sliver of space in the small residential area. Even in the cracks of the walls, a few seedlings can still grow tenaciously.

When summer arrives, the entire village is blanketed in a blanket of greenery, the golden sunlight shattered into tiny specks of light that scatter in the air.

Tiantian was standing under the tree, in a white jumper with a bulge on her chest and a bun on her head. She was stunned when she saw Naruto tumbling out of the second-floor window.

"day by day?"

"Ah? Naruto, what are you doing..." Tenten looked Naruto up and down and asked, "Were you thrown out by Lady Tsunade?"

"No."

"oh oh."

"I escaped on my own." Naruto sniffed.

day by day:"........."

Naruto had been a non-staff member of Team 3 for a long time before, and had always had a good relationship with Tenten and the others. Team 3 had no background at all, so it was easy to find people.

Basically, if Naruto wants to find Rock Lee, he can just go to the mission management office and ask. If there is no mission, Rock Lee will definitely be at the No. 5 training ground.

I haven't seen many of them in the past two years, mainly because Naruto is out and about most of the time. When I finally have some free time, I have to think about this and that.

"Naruto, you have a really good relationship with Lady Tsunade," Tenten said with some envy.

"It's okay." Naruto felt a little guilty. He had just been nearly killed by a punch and had just come back from the brink of death. "You should hang around her more often. It will improve your relationship."

"Forget it, I don't have the talent to control chakra, I can only make some weapons." Tiantian said a little lonely, "I have been idle recently and don't know what to do."

Medical ninjutsu does require a talent for precise chakra control, and Tiantian's ability in this area is a little weak.

"Are there any missions recently?" Naruto dusted himself off, a little curious.

"No." She shook her head, a cloud of worry on her face. "Teacher Kai said that we should take a break during this period and suspend the mission activities. He hinted that we should find something we enjoy doing."

"I don't quite understand, so I'm going to ask Tsunade-sama."

"Oh, she's up there, but not in the Hokage's office," Naruto mused, "She's in the medical department on the fourth floor, in Shizune-sama's office."

The Twelve Little Strongmen's missions were all suspended, and Team 7 was practically disbanded. Team 10's Pig, Deer, and Butterfly were getting married, while those doing research were doing research.

The only classes still active were Class 3 and Class 8. Class 8 was the reconnaissance class, which could carry out missions as a group or individually.

However, due to the incident that happened to the Inuzuka clan before, Inuzuka Kiba's activities in Team 8 were affected. Now, basically only Shino occasionally participates in the village's missions.

Hinata has been preparing for the Jonin exam for the past half month, and the results will probably be out soon.

All in all, the only team completely unaffected was Team 3. Perhaps because they were a physical training class, and their families didn't have a hereditary throne.

Neji is the only one who has a big family to support him, but he is from a branch family. In a traditional family like the Hyuga family, he does not hold a high position.

But at present, Team 3's activities have also been affected by the Root. Tsunade is indeed about to take action against the Root, and not just the Root.

She wanted to remove Danzo and, at the same time, weaken the influence of the two advisors. The Hokage's direct line of defense, the Third Team, naturally had to be shut down to avoid being targeted and affected.

"Do you like Lady Tsunade very much?" Naruto suddenly asked.

"Yeah, who doesn't like it?" Tenten stood there with a crazy look on her face, her hands clasped in front of her chest, completely immersed in Tsunade's idol aura.

Seeing this, Naruto blinked and came up with an idea.

"Hey, Tenten, do you want to be Tsunade-sama's secretary?" Naruto scratched his head and asked tentatively, "The kind that just follows Tsunade-sama around when you have nothing to do, running errands and things like that."

"Okay!" Tenten was stunned at first, then suddenly straightened up, "Really? I'm willing! Anyway, there is no mission, I can be Tsunade-sama's secretary, hehe."

"It's just that Lady Tsunade doesn't need a secretary, right? I...I don't know anything."

Hearing this, Naruto thought to himself, "It's precisely because you can't do anything that I chose you, girl!" It will be inconvenient for me to contact Tsunade in the future, so it's better to pass the message through the membrane.

If you don't know anything, you will be fooled by yourself. Although Naruto is not doing his job, he knows Tsunade very well. He knows nothing every day and can only ask him for advice.

This way, there would be a buffer zone in the relationship with Tsunade. Tenten was so straightforward that she probably wouldn't notice.

"Of course she does, why wouldn't she?" He said seriously, "Shizune-sama is in charge of the medical department now, Sakura has gone to the lab, and Ino was only a flash in the pan and is now a bygone secretary."

Bang bang, Naruto patted Tenten's shoulder and said earnestly.

"Tiantian, now I can only rely on you."

"Okay, I will definitely work hard!" Tiantian's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. He was lost in the charm of his idol and had deep expectations for his new job.

"Well, I'll help you carry it when the time comes. It won't take too long, just these two days." Naruto said.

"Okay, thank you, Naruto." Tenten was deeply moved and said sincerely, completely unaware that he was going further and further down the path of being a tool.

But Tiantian is just a tool in the third shift, and I rely on Tiantian for home travel. Being able to cook porridge, drink soup and eat meat in the desert is like traveling.

Besides, this guy was so shameless that he thought this was a good thing that killed three birds with one stone. Tsunade didn't have to face him and look at him, which made her upset. He didn't have to risk his life to speak up, which was safe.

I can satisfy my star-chasing desire every day and also improve my qualifications at the same time. It’s perfect.

......

Back home, Naruto opened the system and took a look at Mission 3. The progress bar had only advanced two-tenths, and the evil god's followers had taken Kurama Yakumo and Hydrangea.

There is still a long way to go and more efforts are needed. It is almost time to make time to straighten the two wooden figures.

It happened that the fox dog Jiuwei came back from the balcony. He stood up very showily, opened the glass door of the balcony like a Tom cat, and said something.

“It’s so hot outside.”

Naruto was speechless and was about to ignore it. Suddenly, he changed his mind and turned to look at the Nine-Tails.

"Nine Lamas, do you believe in evil gods?"

"Evil God? Do I need to believe in that?" Jiuwei lay down on the sofa, looking like a completely stupid dog. "That thing is useless. I'm not sure if it can beat me."

Naruto thought about it and felt that this made sense, so he gave up on his plan to fool the Nine-Tails. He plopped down on the sofa, and the man and the dog were quite harmonious.

"Everything has been going wrong lately," he muttered to himself.

"Why does this shabby village seem to be under martial law recently?" Jiuwei said to himself, holding a bottle of wine, prying open the lid with his teeth, and it opened with a pop.
