In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"You've been away for tens of thousands of miles?" Jingyin couldn't help but complain, "How did you find this place? There's not even a single person in sight?"

"I don't know, maybe I got lost." Naruto continued to talk nonsense. "Since it's like this, why don't you sit down and eat something?"

"Forget it, sit down." Tsunade said.

Shizune first put away the needle trap, then sat down next to Tsunade. Naruto had already handed her a glass of warm wine. She hesitated for a moment and said thank you.

I thought to myself, has Naruto changed his personality?

After a sip of warm shochu, Shizune felt even more uneasy. She knew Naruto very well. Although he was generally a good person, there was something unusual about him...

Something is wrong, absolutely wrong. Lady Tsunade seems to be completely unprepared.

"You kid have such a convenient function?" Tsunade picked up a piece of barbecue, took a bite and was a little surprised, then took a sip of warm wine.

"It seems like it would be much more convenient to have you with me than to keep you quiet."

Shizune was suddenly struck by lightning. She turned around and stared at Tsunade, tearing at her clothes and crying.

"Lady Tsunade, you can't do this!"

"Just kidding, it's just a joke!" Tsunade impatiently pulled the clothes back, "If you pull it any further, your breasts will be exposed!"

Hearing this, Jingyin suddenly let go of her hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade asked as she glanced at Naruto while adjusting her clothes.

"How many days have you not rested since you were dressed like this?"

"I found it all the way here." Naruto replied.

Tsunade was holding the wine glass and about to drink, but she paused for a moment when she heard this. The firelight flickered on her face, making her look a little delicate.

"Did something happen in the village?"

"Everything is fine in the village. Kakashi is a qualified Hokage." Naruto said slowly, reaching out to pick up the wine flask warming on the fire.

There was originally only one bonfire in the clearing in the woods, but Naruto expanded it several times. He set up a barbecue rack directly on the ground, and placed boxes of fresh ingredients on the ground.

There was even a brazier on the ground with burning charcoal in it and a piece of iron mesh on top to warm the wine, the flames were red hot.

Tsunade was in good spirits, not even a trace of fatigue on her face. Shizune probably also had some kind of item like a space scroll. Even in the deep mountains and forests, they could still maintain a basic standard of living.

The temperature difference between day and night in the forest was so great that ordinary people couldn't stand it. Jingyin couldn't help but shrink herself, eating barbecue and relying on hot wine to keep warm.

"I'm married," he said.

The charcoal was emitting a red-hot glow. The wood in the campfire could not withstand the high temperature and exploded with a snap, shooting out a spark.

Tsunade lowered her eyes, stared at the flames, and hummed. Her eyes were narrow and long, the standard eyes of a beauty, and her face looked a little cold when she lowered them.

The atmosphere seemed frozen. Shizune held the warm metal wine glass in her hands, her palms slightly burning, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare look directly at Tsunade, only looking up at her out of the corner of her eye.

Fortunately, ten seconds later, Tsunade took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.

"When did it happen?" she asked.

"Last month," Naruto said, "It was a last-minute decision. The unrest over there with Kabuto Yakushi wasn't resolved yet, and we were afraid that if things got too long, we'd have to start fighting again."

"I wanted to inform Lady Tsunade, but I couldn't find you."

"Shizune and I were probably looking for medicinal herbs last month. It's normal that you couldn't find us. The ninja world is so big, and we both went to some remote places." Tsunade said.

It’s a response, but not a response either.

"Who are you going to marry?" she asked again.

"Ino, and Hinata."

"Cough cough cough!!!" Shizune couldn't hold it in and almost spit out all the wine. She suddenly looked up and looked at Naruto in disbelief.

Tsunade was unusually calm, as if she had expected this.

"That's good too."

"It's pretty good." he said.

Chapter 569 Tsunade: Time is a terrifying thing. I have already become an old aunt.

The bonfire crackled and burned slowly, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Jingyin languished there for ten minutes, feeling a bit unwell. Was she trying to keep her eagle awake? Both of them were eccentrics; it was true that a village couldn't produce two different types of people.

She waited patiently for a while, but the two remained silent.

After finally finishing the wine on the stove, Shizune couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She felt that this time they would definitely have to talk about something...

In the blink of an eye, Naruto took out a box of shochu from somewhere.

Tsunade seemed to be a little tipsy already. Warm wine was the easiest to get drunk on, followed by iced liquor. When it first entered her throat, it felt soft, and by the time she realized what was happening, her mind was still fuzzy.

She wasn't drunk enough yet, and just stared at the bonfire, not knowing what to say. She wished him a happy wedding, as she had already said.

He ran all the way to the mountains and forests, covered in dust and bedraggled hair, just to tell himself that he was married. If that was really the case, then it was a bit stupid.

But even if Tsunade had some vague guesses in her mind, she would not ask directly. She drank only to find an opportunity and kill time.

As time passed, Jingyin began to doubt her life, wondering if she was redundant. So, after a few words at the beginning, these two had remained silent until now?

Are you planning to sit till morning?

This way of drinking can only be done at noon, because something bad will happen sooner or later.

Later in the night, Shizune couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness and wanted to retreat. She had accompanied Tsunade through many wild forests and was now extremely tired.

Logically speaking, we should set up tents and rest at this point.

Thinking of this, Shizune couldn't help but yawn. But this yawn attracted the attention of Tsunade and Naruto at the same time, which scared her.

"Sister Shizune, if you are really sleepy, go back and rest." Naruto advised.

Shizune was confused. The more she listened, the more it sounded like he was trying to get her out of the way. She opened her mouth, about to say something, but of course, it was to reject Naruto.

But before she could say anything, Tsunade spoke first.

"Shizune, go get some rest."

"Hmm?" She turned to look at Tsunade, a bit confused, but received a cold stare. Shizune immediately shut up and obediently turned away.

It’s too scary. I can’t afford to offend you. I’d better run away as soon as possible.

Beside the campfire, the night is deep.

This time there were only two of them left, and Tsunade became even more silent. Naruto pulled out firewood and stuffed it into the fire one by one. It was already late at night.

The moisture from the forest drifted in with the night mist, evaporating within five meters of the fire. Outside the fire, the temperature was very low, and the faint sound of the wind could be heard above the forest.

Naruto stopped warming the wine and looked up at Tsunade and asked.

"drink wine?"

"Yeah." Tsunade responded and watched him pour out the wine and put it on the stove to warm it. There was no one living in the deep mountains and old forests, and it was really strange to warm the wine in the middle of the night.

"Before..." He carefully considered his words, "I was actually a little reckless."

"What?" Tsunade frowned slightly, "When was the time before that?"

"The time I entered the dragon vein, I went back twenty years, and then I met you in the desert of the Wind Country." Naruto added.

"What? Now that you're married, you're starting to feel guilty again?" Tsunade smiled mockingly, moving the corners of her mouth, but there was no smile on her face.

As she finished speaking, memories she had thought she'd forgotten suddenly flooded back. They were beyond her expectations, practically overwhelming her like a tide.

On second thought, oh, it’s been twenty years.

"I guess so. I didn't expect it would turn out like this." Naruto said nervously, "I've always cared about it. I shouldn't have done anything rash."

"Is this an apology?" Tsunade suddenly laughed. She didn't want to mention the past, after all, it had been a long time ago.

"I found a way to make amends," he said.

"Forget it, most of my life has passed. To make up for it..." Tsunade said with a self-deprecating wave of her hand, "I can hardly remember what you said. You don't need to worry about it."

"It's just a small matter, just forget about it."

"I don't want to forget. I didn't approach Tsunade-sama casually back then." Naruto said calmly, "It's because I like her. I finally got to go back to twenty years ago, and it would be a pity not to see her."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tsunade glanced at him. "That kind of thing, Minato was just a young man more than 20 years ago."

"At the time, I couldn't even associate it with the Watergate. I just thought it was weird, like I'd seen it somewhere before."

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I had already taken the initiative." Naruto's voice was a little hesitant. "I thought it would be fine at the time. It was just a little joke."

"You didn't expect it to turn out like this, did you?" Tsunade lowered her eyes, looking a little lazy. "To be honest, it was raining heavily that day and I thought you might not come."

"Maybe it will appear again in a few days, or maybe in half a month or a month. I've already made up my mind to make another bet with you, and I will definitely not lose again."

"Ah."

"Who knew that this would drag on for twenty years? When I saw you again, you hadn't grown up yet." Tsunade laughed, "Time is really a scary thing. You are still the same, but I have already become an old aunt."

"sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. Maybe this is fate." Tsunade's eyes suddenly became complicated. "Uzumaki Naruto, the past is the past. From now on... live a good life."

Naruto looked up. He had anticipated Tsunade's reaction before coming here, anger or indifference. But he had not expected Tsunade to admit it so frankly.

Twenty years ago, I might have had that glimmer of hope, but now, all I can do is live a good life. There seems to be no other solution.

"In the future... there are ways." Naruto changed the subject, "Isn't Lady Tsunade eternally youthful?"

"What do you mean by eternal youth? It's just relying on the Yin Seal to maintain the youthfulness of the body. What? You want to learn it? When I asked you if you wanted to learn it, didn't you refuse?"

As she spoke, Tsunade suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Lady Tsunade, you misunderstood. What I meant was...is there a ninjutsu that can restore youth?" After Naruto explained the matter, he started to do his old job again.

fishing.

"Are you out of your mind?" Tsunade reached out to touch Naruto's forehead, her face full of complicated expression, "Uzumaki Naruto, I used to think you were just too lustful."

"Now I realize that you've gone too far, to the point of being boundless. At least people can't..."

She took a deep breath and said, "It's over as of today, do you understand? Time won't go back, so just wake up a little."

Chapter 570: Tsunade, Returning to the Body of Eighteen Years Old, About Feelings

"Time will not go back, that's true." Naruto nodded, and suddenly didn't know what to say. He paused. How should he propose the reward?

Even if I take it out, how can I explain it?

Do you believe in light?

I have a new luminous watch. Would you like me to take it out and show it to you? I think I'll be beaten to death if I say this. I can't even get it out by pressing it against the wall.

After hesitating for a while, he approached Tsunade cautiously.

The latter saw Naruto approaching, and his face suddenly changed, "You are so dirty, if you come closer, I will punch you to death, get out of here!"

Naruto: “…”

It really hurts. Did I really want to travel for three days and three nights? Well, I'll just consider it my fault for being naughty back then, and now I'm getting my comeuppance.

Forget it, just bear with it for now, I will return it sooner or later.

Tsunade glanced at him and said.

"Dissatisfied?"

"Yes." Naruto was tough for a moment, thinking to himself that he was not afraid of anything. She could not beat him at all now, and even if she was kicked, he could dodge it.

"Hmm?" Tsunade was stunned when she saw him dare to come closer, "Uzumaki Naruto, are you getting cocky? If you come any closer, I'll punch you to death!"

"No, Lady Tsunade, I just have something nice I want to show you."

Hearing this, Tsunade was stunned, as if she thought of something, and looked at Naruto in disbelief.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you are a father, can you be more serious?"

"What?" Naruto was confused, thinking that he was not looking at Leo Ku, what else was he thinking about? "No, no, Tsunade-sama, you misunderstood."

Tsunade said nothing, frowning at him.
