Warning Tsunade

Guy remained silent for a long time, countless thoughts fiercely intertwining in his mind.

Slowly developing at the Fire Temple and building up strength might be a good fallback.

As abbot, he would hold real authority and have ample resources.

He could even bring Kurenai and the orphanage over, keeping them far from Konoha's turmoil.

But... what about Konoha?

Once he became the Fire Temple's abbot, he could not possibly keep running back to Konoha every few days.

If something happened in Konoha—

Tsunade, Shizune, Ebisu, Genma, and the others were all in Konoha.

He would not be able to rush over at once.

And Tenten, Rock Lee, Neji...

What about those three future disciples of his?

Was he supposed to just give them up?

Let them take someone else as their master?

Not to mention Naruto's growth...

And the threats of Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara, lurking in the shadows.

Most importantly, Guy did not like this kind of secluded life, confined to one place.

Becoming the Fire Temple's abbot would be no different from imprisoning himself here.

Perhaps he could consider it once the Shinobi World had completely settled down in the future.

But definitely not now!

Guy took a deep breath, preparing to refuse Huiyan.

Before he could speak, Huiyan seemed to see through his thoughts and slowly shook his head.

A trace of understanding and serenity rested on his aged face.

"You needn't rush to answer this."

"This old bag of bones still has a few good years left. We can discuss it... later."

"..."

The old man had seen that he wanted to refuse and cut him off in advance!

Guy shook his head inwardly, though he did not mind.

Since Huiyan had given him an out, there was no need to make things final
