Hokage, I am Uzumaki Naruto

Shikaku said, "So Naruto-sama, do you know who they are wooing?"

He continued to ask puzzled.

Watergate said, "For now, all I can expect is that once the two of them make up their minds to go to the High Heavenly Plain. Then at that time, Madara and the first adult will definitely go together.

"As for whether anyone will join in the future, I'm not sure..."

After a pause, he added with a smile: "But one thing I'm sure of is that when the time comes, whether those two brats agree or not, I will definitely go."

Lu Jiu listened to Shuimen's words so quietly, frowned, but did not say anything more.

After that, he and Watergate chatted about the details of the third exam, and after a brief report, he retreated and went down to prepare.

............

On the other side, the official roads leading from all over the Land of Fire to the Central City of Fire are filled with pedestrians.

Large and small teams, groups of three, or two, some talking and laughing, are rushing to the city. Just to be able to witness this rare ninja festival that is about to begin!

That is, among so many pedestrians, there are many powerful people. People such as the members of the Xiao Organization, as well as Tsunade and Jiraiya, who went out on a trip, were also on their way one after another.

At the moment, there is still some distance from the City of Fire, on an official road lined with trees.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had been absent for a long time, were walking and chatting on the road.

While walking, Jiraiya still fawned over Tsunade from time to time, and said, "Tsunade, why didn't you say I found it before?" You are so beautiful!

"Yes?"

Tsunade's heart moved slightly when he heard this, his pretty face turned red, but then he changed his serious look, glanced at Jiraiya, and said softly: "Jiraiya, you are not serious!" They are all dozens of years old, how can they say that they are not beautiful?

As she spoke, she looked up at the clouds in the sky, but her eyes showed a long-lost thought.

Jiraiya kept an eye on her.

Seeing her appearance, I knew that she was thinking about her first love boyfriend Kato again.

Then I couldn't help but think of how awkward my relationship with Tsunade was.

Even for two years, he has been pursuing Tsunade at the instigation of the pillars. And Tsunade did not explicitly refuse him.

But between them, it seems that there is a gap that cannot be crossed. It looks close, but it's actually far away.

Thinking of this, Zi Laiya's face also flashed with an imperceptible loss.

But just for a moment, he quickly returned to normal.

The two continued to walk in silence for a while.

After a long time, Tsunade said to Jiraiya with a serious face, "Jiraiya, actually, I understand your intentions." Unfortunately, because of the broken death, I no longer like others.

So, you really don't have to force yourself to continue to accompany me. After all, what age are we all talking about, and those who talk about love have long passed that age, haven't they? Zi

Lai also felt a sour feeling in her heart when she heard this, although she already knew that she would reject herself.

On the surface, he still showed a forced smile on his face, pretending not to care and said casually: "Hahaha, what are you thinking?" How can I, the toad immortal of Miaomu Mountain, feel sad because I don't get the favor of the girl I like?

"After all, as you said, they are all old, and I have long looked down on these things."

Tsunade nodded, but his bright eyes kept staring at Jiraiya, who spoke with a somewhat unnatural expression.

From his slightly nervous tone, she knew that he was deceiving himself.

But so what?

She is no longer the original young girl, even if she looks appropriate, how can the traces of the years on her heart be visible on the surface?

Her heart was dead.

The expectation of love is also less important as we get older.

In the same way, Jiraiya also knows that he is not Kato after all. Even though she and he knew in their hearts that he liked her.

But there are some things that can never be replaced.

"After I go back, I will go to the old man so that he doesn't have to match us again." After thinking about it, Zi Lai finally decided to say this sentence that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Tsunade looked at him a little guiltily, "I'm sorry, Jiraiya..."

Zi Lai also waved his hand generously, "Anyway, it's not the first time you've rejected me." "

I know. That's why I..." even more guilty.

She thought to herself, some words, just hide them in her heart.

"Let's hurry up and head to the City of Fire, it's late, and we won't see the wonderful showdown of the third exam!"

In the end, it was Zilai who took the lead in changing the topic and breaking the deadlock.

Tsunade knew that he didn't want to continue talking about this sad topic, so he complied with his wishes and said, "Okay, then let's go quickly." With

that, the two of them accelerated abruptly and jumped towards the direction where the City of Fire was.

............

At the same time, in the sky, Xiao Di and Black Earth also drove two clay birds flying continuously.

In the lush jungle under the two, other members of the Xiao organization, such as Nagato, Xiaonan, Kakuto, Feidan, Ghost Fish, Scorpion and others, were also constantly shuttling through the trees.

............

Time passes by minute by minute.

When the long night breaks and the sun first falls, the border between the river province and the core territory of the Central Fire Nation.

The three of Naruto's team, after a long journey, have successfully crossed the wind and sand area of Sand Hidden Village and reached the confines of the River Province.

After a fierce race, they became the first team to cross the boundary between the river province and the central region.

At this time, a day and a half had passed since they set out from the Flower Tree Realm of Shayin Village.

It was just after five o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them did not have time to eat, only on the way to rush, after picking some wild fruits to fill their hunger, the three did not mean to stop.

After all, time is tight, and it is the only purpose to continue to move forward and strive to arrive as soon as possible.

Hundreds of meters behind the three, Hinata was also in the process of hurrying, constantly encouraging his teammates.

"Come on! Hold on a little longer, and we're almost there. The girl's gentle voice revealed immense confidence.

Immediately afterwards, the tooth in charge of opening the way in front of her sniffed the familiar smell in the air and said excitedly: "It won't be wrong, this smell is Naruto's." The three were a few hundred meters ahead of us. "

Really?" Hinata was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked in disbelief.

"Can't be wrong." Tooth continued to confirm while the pace of the hurry quickened.

Seeing this, Hinata no longer hesitated, and opened his eyes.

Until through the black and white scene that constantly appeared in the line of sight, after seeing the familiar figure.

Hinata smiled happily after a long absence.

It's him!

Seeing her lover right ahead, her heart was even more excited at the moment.

Ignoring the doubts of the two teammates, the girl's body accelerated abruptly, and she jumped to the front of the three, still accelerating!

"I'll take a step first, and you guys will follow!" Hinata whispered to his two teammates, and then the figure quickly disappeared into the dense trees.
