Hokage, I am Uzumaki Naruto

Lu Jiudao: "So Hokage-sama, do you know who they are wooing?"

He continued to ask puzzledly.

Minato said: "For now, I can predict that once the two of them make up their minds to go to Gaotianyuan. Then, Madara and the first generation will definitely go together when the time comes."

"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, I will definitely go no matter whether the two boys agree or not."

After listening to Minato's words quietly, Lu Jiu frowned, but didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, he and Minato chatted about the details of the third exam one after another. After a brief report, he took his leave and went down to prepare.

…………

On the other side, on the official roads leading to the central city of fire from all over the country of fire, there are endless streams of pedestrians.

Large and small teams, groups of three or two, talking and laughing, are rushing towards the city.Just to witness this upcoming, rare event in the ninja world!

That is to say, among so many pedestrians, there are many powerful people among them.A group of members such as the Akatsuki organization, as well as Tsunade and Jiraiya who went out to travel, are also on their way one after another.

At the moment, it is still some distance away from the City of Fire, on an official road lined with bushes on both sides.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were walking and chatting on the road.

As he walked, Jiraiya would also please Tsunade from time to time, saying: "Tsunade, why didn't you say I didn't notice it before? You are so beautiful!"

"is it?"

Tsunade's heart twitched slightly when he heard the words, his pretty face blushed, but then he changed into a serious look, and he glanced blankly at Zilai, and spat lightly on his mouth: "Zilaiye, you are not serious! You are dozens of You are old, how can you say that it is beautiful or not?"

While she was speaking, she looked up at the clouds in the sky, but there was a long-lost longing in her eyes.

He had been watching her all the time.

Seeing her like this, he knew that she was thinking about her first love boyfriend Kato Dan again.

Immediately, he couldn't help but think of his relationship with Tsunade, it was so embarrassing.

Even though for two years, he has been pursuing Tsunade under the instigation of Hashirama.And Tsunade did not expressly reject him.

But there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between them.It looks close, but it's actually far away.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya's face also flashed an imperceptible sense of loss.

However, it was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal.

The two continued walking in silence for a while.

After a long time, Tsunade said to Jiraiya with a serious face, "Jiraiya, actually, I understand what you mean. It's a pity that I can no longer fall in love with others because of my death.

So, you really don't have to force yourself to stay with me.After all, what age are we? If we are in love, we should have already passed that age, right? "

Ji Lai also felt sour when he heard the words, although he already knew that she would reject him.

On the surface, he still showed a forced smile, pretending not to care, and said casually: "Hahaha, what are you thinking? I am a majestic Miaomu Mountain Toad Immortal, so why would I feel sad because I can't get the favor of the girl I like?"

"After all, as you said, I'm already old, and I've long looked down on these things."

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

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

But so what?

She is still not the young girl she was back then. Even though she looks good, how can the traces of the years on her heart be seen on the surface?

Her heart is dead.

The expectation of love also becomes less important as we grow older.

Similarly, Jiraiya also knew that he was not Kato Dan after all.Even though both she and he knew in their hearts that he liked her.

But some things are always irreplaceable.

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

Tsunade looked at him with some guilt, "I'm sorry, Zilai also..."

"It's nothing!" Jiraiya waved his hands pretending to be generous, "Anyway, this is not the first time you have rejected me."

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

She thought to herself, some words, just keep them in your heart.

"Let's hurry up and go to the City of Fire. If we go late, we won't be able to see the exciting matchup in the third exam!"

In the end, Jiraiya took the lead in changing the topic to break the deadlock.

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

After all, the two of them sped up suddenly and jumped towards the direction of the city of fire.

…………

At the same time, in the sky, Xiaodi and Heitu were also flying two big clay birds.

In the lush jungle under the two of them, other members of Akatsuki's organization, such as Nagato, Xiaonan, Kakuto, Hidan, Kisame, Xie and others, were also constantly shuttling through the trees.

…………

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the long night breaks and the sun shines for the first time, it is at the junction of the core territory of the River Province and the Central Fire Country.

The three members of Naruto's team have successfully crossed the sandstorm zone of Shayin Village after trekking all the way, and reached within the scope of the River Province.

After going all the way, they became the first team to cross the dividing line from the river province to the central region.

At this time, it has been a day and a half since they set off from the Flower Tree Realm in Hidden Sand Village.

It was just after five o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them had no time to eat, so they just scrambled on the way. After picking some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, the three of them had no intention of staying.

After all, time is running out, and the only goal is to move on and strive for an early arrival.

Behind the three of them, about a few hundred meters away, Hinata was also on the way, constantly encouraging his teammates.

"Come on! Persevere, we're almost there." The girl's gentle voice revealed incomparable confidence.

Immediately afterwards, Ya, who was in charge of opening the way in front of her, sniffed the familiar smell in the air, and said excitedly, "That's right, this smell belongs to Naruto and the others. The three of them are just a few hundred meters ahead of us."

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

"It's not wrong." Ya continued to confirm, while speeding up the pace of the journey.

Seeing this, Hinata no longer hesitated, and then opened her eyes.

Until he saw that familiar figure through the black and white scenes constantly emerging in his sight.

Hinata showed a happy smile after a long absence.

It's him!

Seeing her lover in front of her, she felt even more excited.

Regardless of the doubts of the two teammates, the girl's body accelerated suddenly, and she jumped to the front of the three, and continued to accelerate!

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