"What? Marriage?" Black Zetsu, hearing White Zetsu's words, was immediately stunned and said fiercely, "You... what did you say?"
"That little brat is actually getting married?"
Damn it!
After you screwed us over, you actually went off to get married yourself?
Is there no justice left in this world!
"Yes." White Zetsu spread its hands and said helplessly, "So the White Zetsu clones don't need to keep planting trees today."
That red-haired brat seemed to have no time at all to deal with the White Zetsu clones, so after gathering the information, they quickly slipped away.
The Land of Whirlpools...
It was truly too terrifying.
"I #%¥@..." After hearing White Zetsu, Black Zetsu couldn't help but blurt out a sentence, then took a deep breath, looked at White Zetsu, and asked, "What about the organization's situation?"
"Not optimistic." White Zetsu shook its head and said helplessly, "According to the information obtained from the transmitted spores..."
"Many people in the organization have been captured."
Especially since the Five Great Shinobi Villages adhered to the principle of rather killing the wrong than letting go...
The losses were simply too heavy!
There were even some people who chose to forget the organization's missions and quit the group.
"..."
This...
Hearing White Zetsu's words, Black Zetsu fell silent for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Let them continue hiding."
What else could he do?
He was panicking inside too!
Apart from venting his anger by cursing, what else could he do?
They simply couldn't win!
But...
This couldn't go on.
Otherwise, the organization's reputation would definitely suffer, and if everyone quit and no one joined anymore, what should they do?
So...
They needed to think of a way.
Black Zetsu sighed, narrowed his eyes, and looked in the direction of the Land of Whirlpools, murmuring, "Land of Whirlpools..."
...
"Swish—!"
Everyone stared at the white-haired young man who had familiarly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and then picked up a large chicken leg.
Even Tsunade unconsciously followed his movements with her eyes.
She never expected to see an Uchiha, a clan long thought to be exterminated, here in the Land of Whirlpools. And judging by Jiraiya's attitude, he seemed to have known long ago. Tsunade's heart was filled with doubt. She had tried to ask in the car, but that Uchiha Fugaku remained completely expressionless throughout. He just handed her the entry permit, warned her to obey the laws of the Land of Whirlpools, and then silently drove without saying another word.
Moreover, because Uchiha Fugaku was in the car, Tsunade felt it wasn't appropriate to ask Jiraiya at that time.
Not knowing the full situation, and adhering to her shinobi professionalism, she planned to ask when they were alone later.
She even wondered inwardly if Jiraiya had some plan for not telling the old man.
But now...
Why had they come to a wedding?
And he was even eating already. Couldn't he see the atmosphere at this table was a bit off?
"Um..." Jiraiya seemed to notice, gave an awkward laugh, carefully placed the chicken leg he had already taken a bite of back into his bowl, and said apologetically, "Eat!"
"Everyone, eat!"
Why was everyone looking at him...
It felt really awkward.
Nagato and Konan, hearing Jiraiya's words, rolled their eyes. This uncle was still so thick-skinned!
He probably came in to freeload food and drink without even giving a wedding gift.
After all...
He still owed them five thousand ryo!
And Yahiko...
Scratched his head apologetically and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, we..."
He blinked subtly in Kushina's direction.
Jiraiya-sensei, really, how could you just start eating as soon as you sat down?
Couldn't you read the mood?
Jiraiya, seeing Yahiko's hint, immediately narrowed his eyes, nodded in understanding, and turned to look at the three quite cute girls sitting next to them.
So it was because of these three girls that no one dared to start eating!
But...
Jiraiya took another bite of the chicken leg.
The Toad Sage was really hungry!
"Hehe." Jiraiya revealed a smile he thought was dashing but others found lecherous, and said cautiously, "You all..."
Want to eat?
But...
Seeing those devouring stares...
Jiraiya immediately became meek and swallowed his words...
These eyes, these expressions...
They scared this sage.
But...
What exactly was going on?
And these eyes, these expressions...
They seemed somewhat familiar.
Jiraiya felt like he had experienced this somewhere before, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember.
Then...
Sensing someone approaching, he quickly turned his head...
Seeing Uzumaki Jun leading a bride in a wedding dress...
Jiraiya seemed to understand where he had seen it before.
He sighed inwardly. So these three were the legendary childhood friends of the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools!
He...
Felt their pain!
"Little miss." Jiraiya once again showed that lecherous smile and said cheerfully, "It seems you're suffering from love troubles!"
"But..."
"He's already married. You should learn to let..."
Before he could finish the word "go"...
"Ouch."
Jiraiya suddenly felt someone stomp hard on his little toe. His face immediately showed an ugly smile as he turned to look at the blue-haired girl beside him who was looking innocent.
This girl...
He knew her!
Wasn't she the girl who owned the cat?
"Hehe." Jiraiya gave her an awkward smile. Looking at everyone around him glaring at him fiercely, even Yahiko was looking at him with a headache.
This...
Had he said something wrong?
He sighed inwardly...
Reached behind his back, pulled out a book...
The Pickup Artist's Secret Manual
Handed it to Kushina, and said, "Take a look at this. Maybe it will be helpful for you... um um um... for all of you?"
Three of them!
What was so good about that Land of Whirlpools Daimyo anyway?
He turned his head and blinked at Konan...
Can you let go of my foot now, kid?
It really hurts!
That book was useless to him.
If he didn't act submissive, Tsunade could ignore him for a whole day!
Konan nodded satisfactorily and released Jiraiya.
This lecherous uncle really...
Not only did he love deceiving children, but his eyes were always perverted.
She didn't understand why Yahiko had to become his student.
And then...
"Kushina." Uzumaki Jun said with a headache, holding Mikoto's hand as he walked over, a smile on his face. "Kyoko, Nono."
But...
"Hmph!!" Kushina turned her head away unhappily, ignoring Uzumaki Jun.
Kyoko smiled and nodded, while Nono lowered her head and said nothing.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward. Everyone looked in their direction...
Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly. Indeed...
He shouldn't have come over today.
Feeling Mikoto, who had been tightly holding his hand, suddenly let go, she walked towards Kushina with a smile, opened her mouth, and was about to say something when...
Kushina looked at Mikoto with a complex expression, then glanced at her Jun Jun big brother and then...
"Rustle!"
Stood up and walked outside.
"..."
This...
Everyone watched Kushina's retreating figure...
Kyoko and Nono also immediately stood up, glanced apologetically at Uzumaki Jun, and were about to chase after Kushina when...
They felt someone pulling them. Looking down...
They saw it was Mikoto holding them. Their hearts were immediately filled with confusion. They were about to speak, to tell her to let go...
"Jun, you go." Mikoto looked at Uzumaki Jun and said with a smile. "I'll stay here." Then, looking at Kyoko and the others, "It just so happens I can ask them about your past, Jun."
"I..." Hearing Mikoto's words, Uzumaki Jun was stunned, but thinking of the look in Kushina's eyes just now, and the book in her hand...
"Sorry, Mikoto."
He chased after Kushina.
Mikoto watched Uzumaki Jun's retreating figure, sighed inwardly, maintained a smile on her face, and said, "Kyoko big sister, and Nono big sister."
"Shall we..."
"Have a chat?"
Kyoko and Nono, hearing Mikoto's words, looked at each other, their hearts trembling. Finally...
They nodded.
Then, they followed Mikoto to the side.
As for the photographers nearby...
Uchiha Iketo and Mokushukuma looked at each other. What was going on?
They were still young and simply couldn't understand!
They were just about to turn and film something else when...
"Sen... Senju Kimito."
A trembling voice, filled with disbelief, came through.
Mokushukuma, upon hearing it, turned around in confusion. Senju...
No one had called him that in a long time.
When he saw the blonde hair and the chest...
Mokushukuma was completely stunned and murmured, "Princess Tsunade."
...
"Still angry?" Uzumaki Jun caught up to Kushina. With his Flying Thunder God Technique speed, catching up to one person was easy.
Besides...
Kushina didn't keep running. She just quietly turned around to look at him.
"I..." Uzumaki Jun, seeing the look in Kushina's eyes, immediately felt extremely awkward, not knowing what to say. Finally...
He reached out and, just like before, gently touched Kushina's head.
Quietly...
Both of them were silent, just like before.
Kushina also closed her eyes, a slight smile curling her lips. She could feel that feeling...
Exactly the same as before.
Jun big brother...
Had not changed.
And Uzumaki Jun, seeing Kushina calm down, also showed a smile.
He was just about to say something when...
"Thud—!"
Kushina hugged Uzumaki Jun again, just like before, but...
It seemed tighter than before.
He sighed inwardly...
Damn author!!
However...
Kushina raised her head, her gaze clear as she looked at Uzumaki Jun, and finally...
Seeming to use all her resolve, opened her mouth and said softly, "Jun big brother..."
"Do you..."
"Like me?"
