019 Excitement

With curiosity, Tsunade led Shizune inside.

It was a sealed space, seemingly recently constructed and still a bit rough around the edges.

Many people looked around in confusion.

A sealed space, dozens of chairs, and a huge white cloth in front of them.

It didn't look like anything special?

And… what is a movie?!

Moreover…

"Gambling Shadow!"

It probably had something to do with the Five Great Kage!

"Lady Tsunade, this is the popcorn they gave us!" Shizune, who was still quite young, seemed unaccustomed to so many people sitting together. She gave an apologetic smile to the person next to her and then lowered her voice, saying, "I just discovered… there are Kusagakure ninja here."

"Do you know what they're doing? Never mind, why should I care what they're doing? I've already left Konoha anyway." Tsunade said casually, then boldly took the so-called free popcorn, grabbed a handful, and threw it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up slightly. "Huh, this tastes pretty good! Did they add sugar and milk?"

Curiously, she glanced at the paper cup in her hand and saw a familiar figure.

The red-haired brat.

Wasn't this the kid she met last time when she was taken away by the Kusagakure ninja?

He was holding a cup of milk in his left hand and giving it a thumbs-up with his right!

And next to it was written…

[Grass Ninja Village Selected Milk, every high-quality dairy cow is carefully cultivated and enjoys massages from professional taijutsu ninja!]

[Mom no longer has to worry about my nutrition!]

"???"

Tsunade fell silent.

What the heck?!

Taijutsu ninja?

Massages?

What exactly is this Kusagakure doing?

It should be known that high-quality cows in the ninja world today… basically come from the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire. What quality milk could a small place like Kusagakure possibly have?

As expected of Kusagakure… shameless!

Of course, Tsunade didn't say anything about it and continued to eat handfuls of popcorn.

At this moment.

Shizune quietly spoke up again, "They aren't hiding. They're standing out in the open."

Looking at the generous Lady Tsunade, she breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

It seemed Lady Tsunade wouldn't be gambling today.

Although Lady Tsunade said the Senju Clan had vast assets, she was still happy if she didn't lose any money.

After all, Lady Tsunade gambled way too big!

She pondered for a moment, "They should be the person in charge of this strange place."

"If they aren't being sneaky, why should we care about them? This isn't Konoha! Oh, wait, why should we even bother with them!"

"But… we're Konoha ninja too! No matter what, we should be wary when we see ninja from other villages."

"No! We aren't anymore! What's so great about being a ninja." Tsunade waved her hand impatiently, then looked at the large white cloth. "What are they making us come in here for? Just to look at this cloth? What's so interesting about it? If it doesn't start soon, I'll smash this place and make them give us our money back!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Before Shizune, who looked embarrassed, could even tell Lady Tsunade to mind her image.

"Click~"

The lights suddenly went out.

The audience, who had been full of questions and murmuring, quieted down and looked up at the white cloth curiously.

Their gazes were immediately captivated.

Even Tsunade let out an "Oh?" and looked up.

Before long.

As lines of strange text appeared, everyone grew even quieter, their attention gradually drawn to this never-before-seen "movie."

And at this moment.

Inside the movie theater.

In a more secluded corner, two figures, heavily disguised, were also intently watching the screen.

Faintly, a hint of red hair could be seen peeking out from the darkness.

"Jiang He, Elder Yang Ren told us to buy grain, but we came to watch this... is it really okay to watch this movie?"

One of the red-haired individuals whispered, glancing around.

"I'll tell the Elder personally later. You're curious too... about how Elder San and the others are doing!" the one called Jiang He said with a serious expression. "Besides, ninjas... if there's an emergency, they can change their mission plans temporarily."

Although when they left, the Elders had ordered them to avoid revealing their whereabouts to protect the Uzumaki Clan from annihilation, even forgetting the ancient surname Uzumaki, he still wanted to know how the other clan members were doing.

That's right.

When he saw the standee at the entrance, he immediately recognized the red-haired protagonist as a member of the Uzumaki Clan!

It was a clan member who had escaped with Elder Yang Zheng!

And to openly call himself Uzumaki... Jin, this was likely to attract their attention, or... was it a way to convey something to them, their clan members fleeing outside?

He was even inwardly curious if Elder Yang Zheng's group had encountered any trouble and what their connection was with Kusagakure.

After all, his younger brother... Jiang Yi was in that group!

Therefore, at this very moment, his heart was quite tense.

He couldn't help but grip the popcorn in his hand... he had tasted it earlier, it was quite good, and it could fill his stomach.

Buying the movie ticket for one coin and getting this popcorn wasn't a loss.

So, he didn't dare to eat much, planning to take it back later for the Elders to try. Ever since the Land of Eddies was destroyed, they had been on the run with no source of income.

And the Uzumaki Clan had a large appetite. Now, with so many people, they could only barely survive by rationing a small amount of food daily. Therefore, food was extremely important to them now.

Uzumaki Jiang He forced a bitter smile, thinking of the once powerful Uzumaki Clan in the ninja world, now reduced to such a state...

Even after the Land of Eddies was destroyed, they were still being pursued, forced to hide everywhere!

Their fleeing group... after the Fifth Elder sacrificed himself, the Seventh Elder led them to hide in a remote town in the Land of Fire, but they all knew... they couldn't hide for long.

Those hyena-like figures would relentlessly hunt them.

With a sigh of melancholy, he quickly quieted down as the scene changed.

A movie?

What exactly was this?

With this question in mind, the story began...

To ensure a strong start, Grass Mang had specifically optimized the plot, making it more compact and amplifying the conflicts between the protagonist and supporting characters.

When they saw Konoha deceive its close friend Uzumaki Jin and destroy his friend's family, those who understood... Tsunade and Uzumaki Jiang He held their breath.

Especially Uzumaki Jiang He... although Konoha was not responsible for the destruction of the Land of Eddies, but... it would be strange to say he didn't harbor any anger towards Konoha.

Especially after years of fleeing...

Uzumaki Jiang He's eyes turned red, and he clenched his hands tightly again.

As the scenes flashed by, the plot reached its climax. Uzumaki Jin successfully avenged himself, and the villains were punished.

However.

When they saw the final scene...

The two of them were stunned. Their eyes widened, and they exchanged glances, then stared at the screen with even wider eyes.

Finally, Uzumaki Jin arrived in the Land of Grass and lived a happy life there.

Of course, what shocked them wasn't this.

It was.

The scenes that had just flashed by.

They had seen Elder Yang Zheng and Jiang Yi.

One was sitting in a courtyard, quietly watching the snow fall, while the other was in a classroom, smiling as he taught a group of children.

Living the peaceful life they longed for but could not attain!

The smiles on their faces... were definitely not fake!

"This..."

At this moment, Uzumaki Jiang He and the other felt as if they understood something. Their eyes immediately turned red, with a hint of excitement.

They had to tell the Elder as soon as possible!

The Uzumaki Clan... perhaps they didn't have to flee anymore!
