Chapter 309 - Chapter 308: It Is You.

Land of Whirlpools.

"What exactly did you bring me to the Land of Whirlpools for?" Tsunade looked at the words Bus Stop written in front of her and asked in an unhappy tone, "And..."

"How long are we going to stand here?"

What are we doing just standing here?

Catching the wind?

Tsunade looked at the wide, tidy road around her...

She was also a bit surprised inside.

She hadn't been to the Land of Whirlpools for so many years, and the changes here were quite big.

Especially those old wooden houses that were very common in the Land of Whirlpools had all disappeared, replaced by clean and generous two-story small houses.

"Waiting for the bus," Jiraiya said, looking at the road and scratching his head, then muttering, "We've waited so long, why hasn't a bus come yet?"

Usually, one comes every ten minutes or so.

And...

From the time we entered the Land of Whirlpools until now, we haven't seen a single person.

What is going on?

"Wait for what bus?" Tsunade frowned and said, "What about your toad?"

Just like when we came, just ride the toad in, isn't that fine?

"Gamahiro and the others don't want to come to the Land of Whirlpools," Jiraiya said, looking at the roads on both sides. "So, they can't be summoned here."

Even though it was explained long ago that toads don't need injections, they just need documents to jump around freely in the Land of Whirlpools, they still don't want to come out here...

It's such a headache!

It got to the point that when he taught Nagato the summoning technique, he had to go to the border entrance.

And now...

Tsunade hasn't gone through the entry procedures, who knows how much the fine will be later.

"Could something have happened?" Jiraiya looked at the deserted road and muttered, "Otherwise..."

"Where are the people?"

Why isn't there a single person?

Not even a traffic police officer at the intersection.

"Maybe we should..."

Jiraiya turned to look at Tsunade, who was standing next to him looking impatient, and was just about to say let's not wait anymore and just walk over, when...

Suddenly, a small white car with blue trim drove towards Jiraiya and Tsunade's direction.

A police car!!

"Sigh."

Jiraiya looked at the approaching car, his expression freezing, then he sighed inwardly and muttered, "Looks like I have to pay a fine again."

He originally planned to see if he could ask Uzumaki Jun to pull some strings and get Tsunade's entry procedures sorted out retroactively, but now...

The police are here, how can he pull strings?

I wonder if the Land of Whirlpools police can give them a ride later?

"What's wrong?" Tsunade asked, seeing Jiraiya's regretful expression, "What fine?" She pointed at the approaching police car. "And what is that thing?"

"This..." Jiraiya scratched his head. He only had a partial understanding himself and didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say helplessly, "That's a car. You'll understand in a few days."

Anyway, if you stay here long enough you'll figure it out, so I won't explain.

"And do you remember all the laws and traffic regulations I told you about on the road?"

In the Land of Whirlpools, breaking laws and regulations means fines!

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade rolled her eyes and said flatly, "Of course I remember them."

Remember?

Remember what?

When has Tsunade-hime ever remembered these messy things?

And...

Even if she doesn't remember, so what?

Just then...

The police car stopped in front of Jiraiya, and the door slowly opened...

A young man in a police uniform got out of the car, looked at Jiraiya and Tsunade, and said expressionlessly, "Lord Jiraiya, Lady Tsunade."

However...

Seeing the young man who got out of the car, Tsunade's eyes immediately widened, and she looked at Jiraiya, who was smiling beside her, with an expression of utter disbelief. "Th-this..."

...

The wedding did not last very long. After going through the shinobi world's wedding customs and pledging vows, Uchiha Mikoto officially changed her name to Uzumaki Mikoto.

The entire event was photographed by professional photographer Uchiha Iketo and his assistant Mokushukuma.

After brief training, and relying on his Sharingan, Uchiha Iketo was able to accurately capture every scene, and was proficient in various shooting poses. The photos he took were quite good.

As for Mokushukuma...

He was just simply conscripted for labor.

Mokushukuma looked at the equipment, rolled his eyes, and said, "So, why did you choose me to be your assistant?"

If he remembered correctly, the relationship between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan wasn't very good.

And...

From filming in the morning until now, he was so hungry his eyes were dizzy, and the hand holding the equipment kept trembling.

"How about we take a break first? Get someone else to take over?"

But...

Uchiha Iketo shook his head expressionlessly and said, "Other people's skills aren't good enough."

As for why he chose you as an assistant...

It was simply because he thought this heavy and tiring job suited you.

Mokushukuma rolled his eyes and was about to retort when...

"Let's go, hurry up and follow." Uchiha Iketo said faintly. "We still have to film other people."

"Sigh." Mokushukuma sighed, then could only shoulder the equipment and follow behind Uchiha Iketo.

...

Nagato tremblingly picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks. Looking at the three older sisters with dark expressions in front of him, he said carefully, "How about we eat first?"

He really didn't want to sit here.

The atmosphere was...

Too scary.

But in the end, Konan dragged him over, saying that the surroundings were all adults, all seniors, so it would be more relaxed to go to Big Sister Kushina's table.

But...

Relaxed?

Relaxed how??

Couldn't this girl read the atmosphere here?

And...

Actually, he could eat with his mom or the clan head; that would be pretty free too.

"Swish!"

Hearing Nagato's words, everyone turned their heads, their gazes calmly fixed on Nagato, who was about to put the rib into his mouth.

"..."

Being stared at by so many people.

Nagato's hand trembled, almost dropping the rib onto the floor.

Finally...

He could only expressionlessly put the rib back into his bowl, then look full of resentment at Uzumaki Jun, who was still toasting...

He...

Wanted to go home.

He was really hungry.

Little Konan nearby also seemed to sense the wrong atmosphere and quickly gave an awkward smile to Nagato and Yahiko.

She also hadn't expected things to turn out like this.

As for Yahiko...

His gaze remained calm the whole time as he looked at Lord Jun...

He had long guessed the situation would turn out like this, so earlier, after going to the restroom, he conveniently sneaked to the back kitchen and ate a few buns.

So...

Now he wasn't hungry.

Seeing Nagato like this, he was just about to ask him if he wanted to go to the restroom when...

"Yahiko."

A familiar voice came over.

...

Uzumaki Jun held Mikoto's hand and walked down with a smile to toast the various elders and friends.

He casually glanced at the table where Kushina and the others were sitting not far away and sighed helplessly inwardly...

What a headache!

But seeing two suddenly appearing figures, he was immediately stunned.

"Why did those two come here?" he muttered.

Uzumaki Jun frowned, thinking about going over to see what was going on. But after turning his head to look at Mikoto, who was holding his arm, he thought it over and decided to forget it. Today was his and Mikoto's wedding. The matter with Kushina and the others wasn't resolved yet, so it was better not to appear rashly. What if an accident happened later?

Sigh—!

Looking at Kushina, who was pouting and her eyes were red, Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly.

He hadn't seen Kushina come to find him during this time, and also...

She seemed to have lost weight, and that former mischievous look was gone.

It seems I really need to find time to talk to Kushina properly!

But...

"It's fine." Mikoto said with a smile on her face. "Let's go over."

"I..." Hearing Mikoto's words, Uzumaki Jun was stunned for a moment and was about to say something.

"I just so want to talk with Little Sister Kushina." Mikoto shook her head and said gently. "Believe me, nothing will happen."

"This..."

Although Mikoto's face was all smiles, with no other expression, Uzumaki Jun could still feel it.

Her...

The hand holding his arm began to tighten.

Finally...

Uzumaki Jun sighed, held Mikoto's hand tightly, and walked towards Kushina.

They...

Would meet eventually.
