Chapter 249 Don’t You Have a Princess Plot?

Hearing this, Tsunade paused for two or three seconds before speaking.

"The S-class mission in Tian Country. Orochimaru is active there. Jiraiya went to investigate."

"Oh, Orochimaru." Naruto felt relieved. At least Jiraiya's good friend Orochimaru only wanted to live forever and had no time to fight with Jiraiya to the death.

"That's okay," he said.

"Why are you so concerned about Jiraiya's whereabouts? It's like you're worried about him." Tsunade knocked on the table and looked at him with her beautiful eyes, "Shouldn't you be worried about yourself?"

Naruto smiled, sat there with long arms and legs, raised his head and leaned on the back of the chair, and said very proudly.

“The wicked live a thousand years.”

Tsunade smiled, her face beaming with joy, and the bottom of the abyss in her chest was bottomless.

"Your heart is indeed a little dirty. I feel relieved when you say that. However, you don't seem to have explained it clearly to me about the Nine-Tails thing?"

"This." Naruto couldn't explain.

Seeing this, Tsunade didn't force him, she rubbed her forehead and asked.

"Forget it, I'll have a headache after knowing it. Tell me about Princess Sunagakure's incident. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"I don't know." Naruto looked confused, but this was the truth. "I just heard about that incident when I came back. It really has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything."

"You haven't done anything? The little princess Sunagakure has a special relationship with you, right?" Tsunade glanced at him, "Otherwise, why would I support you for no reason?"

"I don't know about this. After all, I was on a mission at that time." Naruto defended, "Besides, to say the least, maybe the other party took a fancy to my potential."

"I'm interested in you." Tsunade said, "I probably want to dig you out, but I'm interested in you and you are no longer the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki."

"I won't go. I will always be loyal to Tsunade-sama." Naruto, full of desire for survival, stood up with a bang, "I won't go anywhere until Tsunade-sama leaves."

Tsunade rolled her eyes, completely disbelieving in his unconscionable lies. But she didn't want to delve deeper. She sat up straight and picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"In addition to the princess of Sunagakure, there is also the princess of Tori Kingdom, Ibis, and this time the princess of Snow Kingdom, Kazuka Koyuki." She frowned and looked at Naruto with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Do you have a special fetish for princesses?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Naruto refused to admit it and said in a low voice, "Ino is not a princess, I just like her very much."

"The princess of the Yamanaka clan, let's just say that. Konoha's Ino Shikacho clan is also famous in the ninja world. Don't underestimate the Yamanaka clan."

"Where's Hinata?" Tsunade hugged her chest and asked with interest, "Little Princess Hinata, don't you like it?"

"Well." Naruto turned to look out the window, "The weather is good today."

"Really?" Tsunade looked at him with a smile, "I don't mind your efforts, and I don't expect you to stay in Konoha, just a little bit."

"I will stay in Konoha." Naruto sneered.

Tsunade sat there, raising her eyebrows, with a look on her face that said, "Do I believe you?"

"Who can be better than you, Uzumaki Naruto, you don't even learn senjutsu, and even a Hokage position can't keep you. Even if I bring all the fame and fortune in the world, you will still leave if you should."

"That's not the case, I can't see Tsunade-sama sad, so I won't just run away." Naruto said with a smile.

"You're quite poor in words. You don't say a few words when you hide something from me." Tsunade's golden eyes glanced at him indifferently, "Isn't that right?"

Yes, that topic cannot be avoided.

"Tsunade-sama, is Konoha's technology too backward?" he asked, changing the subject.

"After all, the ninja world has not been peaceful recently. The village's energy is focused on defense and training ninjas." Tsunade's attention was diverted and she frowned.

"In the future, there may be a great turmoil in the ninja world, and Konoha will bear the brunt."

"Is this Tsunade-sama's guess?" Naruto asked in surprise.

"No, it's the prophecy that Jiraiya brought from Mt. Myoboku." Tsunade knew everything about him, "Including Jiraiya's mission to Tian Country this time is also related to that prophecy."

"Toad Immortal's prophecy?"

"Um."

"About what?" Naruto was a little confused. He had already gone to Mt. Miaomu and worshiped at the top of the mountain. Logically speaking, if there was any prophecy, he should have said it at that time.

"The child of the prophecy," she said.

"Strange things, where did the child of prophecy come from?" Naruto was slightly startled, "Tsunade-sama, is the news reliable?"

"There's no guarantee." Tsunade crossed her arms in front of her chest, her white hair flickering, "Jiraiya said he wanted to go over and take a look, but the specific situation is not clear yet."

"Then let's talk about technology in the ninja world. Even communicators are common in the Snow Country." Naruto said seriously, "Isn't it time for Konoha to develop, Tsunade-sama?"

"The current situation." She frowned.

"We can't fight." Naruto said with determination, "At least we won't be able to fight within a few years."

"How do you know?" Tsunade asked, "Kumogakure has always had thoughts about Konoha. Now that Konoha's tailed beasts are gone, it would be strange if Kumogakure doesn't move at all."

Of course he knew that Yunyin was seriously injured, and the news had not yet come back.

After Tsunade finished speaking, Naruto twisted in his chair with some discomfort and looked at Tsunade with some confusion and asked.

"What about the investigation mission of Yuyin Village? Is it really necessary to prioritize the Five Shadows Conference?"

"Otherwise?" Tsunade took a sip of wine, "Now that I have spoken, Konoha will naturally respond. Don't you want to accompany me?"

"That's not the case." Naruto smirked, "I'm just worried about the mission in the Land of Rain."

"You should be able to come back in about a month. By then, Jiraiya will have almost finished his mission." Tsunade said, "You have a lot of time to do the mission of the Land of Rain."

A few more days passed, and the day for the Five Shadows Conference was getting closer and closer.

But not everyone in the major ninja villages is idle, they all have their own things to do. It took less than half a month from the time the message was sent to the time Ninja Village responded and then coordinated.

Especially in Konoha's situation, Tsunade will be away for a while, and Jiraiya is out on a mission again, which means that there are almost no people in Konoha who can restrain Danzo.

So Tsunade was extremely busy during this period. Except for not staying up late, she stayed in the office almost all day long to handle official duties. Naruto was very idle and rested for several days.

In the middle, Hinata let him go, and they agreed to go pick out gifts together, but the eighth team received a temporary assignment and had to go back. Hinata blushed and bowed to him several times, which made someone with such a thick skin feel a little embarrassed.

It wasn't until Team 10 returned to the village after completing its mission that he felt some relief from his lonely days.

Street vendors.

There are always crowds of people here, especially after nightfall.

Ino touched her lips with some discomfort, looking timidly at the flow of people. Just as she was thinking wildly, she saw Naruto appearing under the street lamp across the street through the crowd.

He was dressed in black, short-sleeved pants, and summer attire. Ino saw him pushing through the crowd and walking toward her little by little. Tall and big, with a long stride.

His height and temperament are somewhat different. He has messy blond hair and is indescribably lazy. He is tall and has a hormonal tendency to walk.

The older a girl grows up, the more diverse her thoughts become, and she becomes more sensitive to matters between men and women. She saw Naruto pushing through a group of people and someone looking back at him.

When she came to her senses, Naruto was already standing in front of her.

"Have you grown a little taller again?" Ino stretched out her hand to measure his height, "You must have grown a little taller, right?"

"No." Naruto glanced at her, "It seems like it wasn't that long since we last met. How can you grow taller so fast? Bamboo pole?"

"The last time was a month ago." Ino rolled her eyes at him, she remembered.

"That's a long time." He touched his face and said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, everyone has a lot of tasks recently." Ino walked up to him, turned around and said with a smile, "I am now a chuunin."

The BBQ restaurant is still the one close to the Akimichi station. It is full of flavor and portion, and it is usually crowded.

But that's it, and because this place is remote, there weren't many people when Naruto and Ino arrived. But I still couldn't get a seat inside, so I could only set up a large tent with ventilation on all sides outside.

Shikamaru and Choji did not stand up, but waved to Naruto and Ino as a greeting.

There was a dim lamp above the head, barely illuminating the people on the table. The boss bowed several times, saying that he was ashamed of the poor conditions.

Class 10 is a regular visitor here, and occasionally he and Asuma will book dinner here if they have nothing to do. A few people comforted the boss, and suddenly there were a few free plates of meat slices.

A few second-generation people were not short of money, so they took all orders without hesitation. After collecting the things, I ordered some more food, which Choji could eat anyway.

Naruto sat with Ino with a lazy look on his face, showing no intention of avoiding suspicion. Ino wanted to get up and sit on the other side, but he pulled her back as if nothing had happened.

"What? Are you going to isolate me when we meet?" he said with a smile on his lips.

Choji smiled so hard that his little eyes almost disappeared. He slurped down a plate of barbecue and said to Naruto, "Then sit with me."

"No, I can't eat you." Naruto said slowly with one leg straddling the bench, "I am now a high-ranking official in Konoha."

"Look at you like that." Shikamaru couldn't stand it anymore, "What's the point of hanging out with that group of people? All these old men are in trouble."

"What do you know?" Naruto looked full of youthful spirit.

Ino was speechless and patted his leg. He quietly retracted his legs and sat upright, but his mouth was not idle.

"Hey, do you know? The Snow Country even has a communicator, why is Konoha still such a dog?"

"What communicator?" Shikamaru glanced at him, "Isn't there one in the village?"

"That's not the case. It's so bulky that it deserves to be called a communicator. It's like an iron bastard." When Naruto mentioned technology, he couldn't control himself.

But when he saw Shikamaru winking at him, he realized something was wrong.

"Ino's father is in charge of the village's communications." Choji hit the target at the right time, and Naruto suddenly felt his scalp numb, and inadvertently hit his father-in-law with a critical blow.

"I think it's bulky too." Ino was not angry, but frowned, "But the village doesn't seem to care about upgrading."

"There are small, palm-sized communicators outside, for personal use." He gestured and squeezed Ino's palm quietly under the table.
