In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"During this period of cultivation, my health has improved a lot. I won't go back, as it would be troublesome if my family members found out."

The Kurama clan did not like Kurama Yakumo, after all, power was no longer in her hands. A young girl with no money and no power could not control the clan.

"Whatever." Naruto had no objection.

His house was large, with two other rooms besides the master bedroom and the dog and fox's room. However, no one had ever lived there, so cleaning was not something he had to worry about.

The sealed space still had a lot of daily necessities stored away, so he didn't have to go out and buy them. Although they were men's items, they were still usable.

"You decide whether to sleep in separate rooms or live together. Of course, you take care of the cleaning yourself. I'll go get some food. Who among you can cook?"

Upon hearing this, Kurama Yakumo and Hydrangea looked at each other in surprise. What a guy, he doesn't know any of them.

Naruto sighed. Now he was only worth one million taels. He had to pay the rent for the house and support a drunken fox and two employees.

Confused, very confused.

The turmoil in the Hokage Building had not yet subsided, and Tsunade destroyed Danzo's life's work with lightning speed and pulled Danzo down from his senior position.

Nara Shikaku will take over as the Sixth Hokage, while Kakashi will take over as the Sixth Hokage. The inauguration ceremony has already been scheduled. As for the remaining two senior advisors, they are already very old and have realized the changes of the times.

Faced with Tsunade's ferocity, the two old men were somewhat powerless and voluntarily gave up some of their power. They basically entered the stage of semi-retirement and would not come out unless there was something serious.

With this tone set, everything is coming to an end in an orderly manner.

Choji looked up at the Hokage Building, then at Naruto standing beside him, and swallowed. A look of panic appeared on his face, and he was slightly scared.

"Do you really want me to help you explore the way?"

"How can this be called scouting? I just want you to see how Lady Tsunade feels. I've already found the reason for you." Naruto pushed his fat body forward.

"Just ask Hokage-sama if she's free soon. You plan to invite her to a banquet in the name of the Akimichi clan."

"That's ridiculous, Naruto. Why don't you just forget it?"

"Don't worry, she won't really agree." Naruto said soothingly, "Don't be so desperate. I didn't ask you to do anything against the law."

"But...that's Lady Tsunade." Choji's voice was trembling. He turned to look at Naruto, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

"What a joke, she wants to tear me to pieces now. Although she said last time that she was not angry with me anymore, can you trust a woman's words?" Naruto said as if it was a matter of course.

"Damn it!" Shikamaru said angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

He went upstairs trembling with fear and came down again not long after. Naruto stood in the shade of the tree waiting, and when he saw Choji coming back, he couldn't help but go up to him and ask.

"how's it going?"

"Tsunade-sama politely declined. She said she doesn't plan to attend anyone's banquet recently." Choji said a little nervously, hesitating for a moment before continuing.

"She...she also said...if you use such childish excuses again, she'll break your legs."

"Turtle!" Naruto shuddered in fear, looked up at the towering Hokage Building, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Let's go, let's go back first."

"Don't you want to go up and ask?" asked Shikamaru.

"What the hell are you asking? Do you want to see my legs broken?" Naruto said unhappily, pulling Choji away quickly, feeling a little annoyed.

There were some things he couldn't ask Kakashi for. The most urgent thing was to repair his relationship with Tsunade, otherwise the plan with the Hyuga side wouldn't work.

Even if he defeated Danzo, he would still be left with a mess.

At night, Choji and Naruto were drinking at a barbecue stall.

The grilled meat sizzled with oil, but Naruto lost his appetite as he looked at the plate of vegetables. He just drank one glass after another, thinking about how to apologize sincerely.

Chapter 377: Tsunade's anger, an insincere apology, and no results

Naruto has his own desires, but he can't say them directly, so he has to express them in another way.

For example, if he suddenly said to Shikamaru who was slurping barbecue, "I want to control the Raikage," Shikamaru would probably spit out a mouthful of soda.

But if Naruto said, "I wish there were no sand and dust in the world, and someone would still sell wine and flowers," Choji would probably give him a thumbs up and say, "You are such a great saint."

There is no disaster in the world and people can do whatever they want.

This is the art of language. Changing the wording can lead to a completely different realm. Just like ntr can be said to be a pure love wife, and yellow hair can be washed into a white lotus.

He bit his nails and squinted his eyes at Choji who was eating heartily, his eyes darting around for several times. Choji choked because he ate too fast and was looking for water all over the table.

When she looked up, she suddenly met Naruto's eyes and was startled.

"Burp! Naruto you...burp! What do you want to do?"

"Nothing." Naruto sighed, "Chouji, you are no longer useful."

"I...I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad." Choji swallowed another mouthful of barbecue and said incoherently, "What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? I'll just have to go and apologize." Naruto stuffed a handful of vegetable leaves into his mouth and said vaguely, "She can't really break my legs."

"That's not certain." Having heard a little about Tsunade's temper, Choji tutted his tongue and said, "In any case, don't drag me into this and get blood all over me."

"Stop talking, you bastard." Naruto said angrily, and sighed softly, "Chouji, if anything happens to me, I will definitely drag you into it."

“You don’t want anyone to know…”

"Nishine! You are the dog! Damn it!" Shikamaru almost choked to death. He pounded his chest hard and survived. He turned his head to look at Naruto.

The guy had already stood up and walked towards the Hokage Building without hesitation, leaving only a gloomy back.

"Naruto..." Choji was still sighing.

"Hello, sir, please pay the bill." The boss suddenly came over.

Shikamaru was stunned and immediately became furious.

"We agreed to treat you, but this guy ran away again!"

Naruto, who had escaped alone, felt refreshed and whistled all the way to the Hokage Building. The moonlight was shining, as if covering Konoha with a layer of silver frost.

He carefully climbed up to the Hokage Building. The light in Shizune's office was still on. He quietly approached and took a look at the light inside.

The door was closed and Naruto couldn't see clearly. He wanted to confirm whether the person inside was Shizune or Tsunade, so he couldn't help but stand on tiptoe. After confirming that it was Tsunade, he immediately regretted it.

I really want to slip away... He thought so, and then he did it.

I apologized with all my heart, only to realize at the end that I didn't know how to apologize at all. It's okay to coax little girls, but if I'm thick-skinned, I can use some tricks.

But facing someone like Tsunade... he was really unsure. It wasn't that he was scared. He just felt that the joke had gone too far, and he felt a little guilty and didn't know how to deal with it.

Just as he took the first step, Tsunade's voice suddenly came from the office, with boundless coldness and chill in her voice.

"Where do you want to go?"

"No...I'm not going anywhere, I'm just passing by." Naruto smiled awkwardly, pushed the door open, and then restrained his excitement, becoming a little more serious.

Things are different now. You have to stand at attention when you get beaten. Flirting... He can't be flirty at all. He regretted not reading more books on emotional intelligence and instead read banned comics every day.

"Lady Tsunade... I..." He was trying to figure out how to apologize, hesitating and not knowing where to start.

"Sit down and talk." Tsunade leaned back in her chair, the light above her head was bright, her eyes looked a little tired, she glanced at him and said.

"Okay." Naruto felt a little reserved for the first time.

It just so happened that Tsunade was the most relaxed at this moment, with no intention of asking for responsibilities at all. She was like a homeless cat, lazily lying in the chair.

Her eyes were half-closed, a cup of wine on the table. Her temples were covered in golden hair, her cheeks were as white as snow, and her red lips were slightly pursed, exuding the unique aura of a mature woman.

She glanced at him slowly, then slowly closed her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" She changed her posture and barely glanced at him. "Why are you here so late? I'm not Hokage anymore."

"Isn't that a lot easier?" Naruto asked.

"Well, that makes me feel a lot more relaxed." Tsunade reached for her wine glass, but found it empty, and frowned. "There are only a few things left that I hold dear, and Konoha is one of them."

"I left Konoha, and I don't know when I'll be back next time. Suddenly I realized that it seemed like I had nothing left except Shizune."

"I'm about to leave too, and I'll probably be away from Konoha for a while." Naruto calmed down. Now was not the time to apologize.

I should find an opportunity to apologize. It is more important to come clean with Tsunade first. Otherwise, if Tsunade really disappears one day, I won't be able to ask her for help.

"Why are you leaving?" Tsunade was a little surprised.

"Lady Tsunade is gone, so there's no point in me staying here." He said half-seriously, "Maybe Konoha will be better off if I leave for a while."

"Aren't you planning on marrying Ino?" Tsunade paused, then suddenly remembered something, "Or Hinata?"

Hearing this, Naruto's expression became awkward again. It turned out that Tsunade also knew about it. Although he had expected it, but hearing the gossip about himself from Tsunade's mouth...

Uh...it still feels weird.

"Actually... not so fast." Naruto said halfway, not knowing what he was saying. "I haven't made any plans yet. It might take some time."

"It's up to you. This involves the Yamanaka and Hyuga families, so you'd better be careful." Tsunade warned him meaningfully and immediately looked away.

"I see."

Naruto stared at the astonishing curve created by the clothes, and the phrase "Snow forming a peak" popped into his mind again. He didn't say that Ino would leave Konoha later in life. The project couldn't be implemented only in Konoha.

As for Hinata, he needed Tsunade's help for a little bit, but now was obviously not the right time, so he had to wait a little longer.

Tsunade looked at Naruto, her fingers tapping on the table. At some point, she suddenly realized that this movement would also be carried over by him.

Suddenly, Tsunade was in a bad mood.

"If you have nothing to do, just go out and watch it. It's annoying."

Naruto: “….”

He swore he really didn't do anything, was it because he didn't apologize? Shouldn't he apologize... That seems like a plot from a banned comic, I'm confused.

It turns out that big is justice and size is truth.

"Um... there's one more thing I think I need to talk about." Naruto was a little embarrassed and coughed, "It's about time travel."

"What do you want to say?" Tsunade's eyes had turned cold. "Huh? Uzumaki Naruto, didn't I tell you to forget it? What do you want to say by bringing it up again and again?"

"I'm easy to deceive?"

As she spoke, Tsunade suddenly stood up and stepped closer. Gritting her teeth, she lifted Naruto up with one hand and pressed him onto the table.

She looked at him angrily, her self-esteem completely shattered.

"Is it fun, Uzumaki Naruto, or do you think a thirty-year-old woman who has lost everything must be lonely? You just need to tease her a little."

"Ok?"

"You even used your real name without any concealment." Tsunade looked at him coldly. Naruto was pressed on the table, and Tsunade grabbed his collar with one hand.

If Tsunade punched him at this moment, it would be like being hit hard by a heavy truck.

"I'm not... I was really wrong, Lady Tsunade." Naruto knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, and if he really tried to reason with him, the consequences would probably not be good.

"No, so what?" Tsunade put some strength in her hands, and all the tense nerves of the past few days relaxed, and the anger that had nowhere to go found an outlet.

"What do you mean we'll see each other again in the future? Twenty years, is that really fun? Uzumaki Naruto, you really deserve to die! What else do you want to say?"

"I was...just."

Chapter 378 Become the head of the Hyuga family, Ningji

"I just... saw Lady Tsunade and couldn't just leave like that." Naruto explained without thinking, fearing that he would die.

"You can't tell her age at all. I thought she was twenty... No, eighteen."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and let go of Naruto. She patted his face with a death smile on her face and narrowed her eyes threateningly.

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."

"Really, 100% authentic!" Naruto swallowed, the car lights were almost hitting his face.

"You're lucky, but..." Tsunade turned around and sat back in the chair, her peach squashed, staring at Naruto with unfriendly eyes, "You'd better behave yourself recently."

"...Got it." Naruto said sadly.

Tsunade's blonde hair was tied up with a black rubber band. From some angles, she looked just like a housewife.

She has a plump figure and everything she needs, she is simply a fairy tale that every man dreams of.

But at this moment, Naruto was only worried. He was silently wondering if the Tsunade incident was over. If it was, he could leave.

If I hadn't exposed it, I would have run away.

"Tsunade-sama," Naruto asked tentatively.
