This lunch was eaten in the yard of Naruto's new home.
Seeing Hashirama personally bringing out the food, Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka, who were already sitting at the table, stood up almost immediately with respect on their faces.
"Master First, how can I let you come here!"
Hiashi quickly stepped forward and reached out to pick up the plate.
"That's right, we're here to help. Please take a seat!"
Inoichi also quickly agreed, looking nervous.
"Hahahaha!"
Hashirama laughed heartily.
Instead of handing the plate to Hiashi, he took two quick steps and put the plate on the table. When his hand was free, he firmly pressed his hand on Hiashi's shoulder, not with much force, but with an unquestionable gentle force.
"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down!"
Hashirama said with a smile.
"It's a rare day for me to be happy today. Let's get together to eat together, so don't pay attention to those false etiquette. I am just a idle person now."
As he spoke, he turned back and shouted into the room, "Tobirama, come here and help! Your sister-in-law is still cooking over there, and I can't carry it by myself."
Hiashi was pressed on the shoulder by Hashirama. His body was a little stiff, but he still tried to struggle. "Sir First, let us..."
"Yes, Master First, let us do it!"
Inoichi also said sincerely again, and at the same time signaled Hiashi with his eyes.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the door:
"Brother, please don't embarrass them."
I saw Tobirama Senju folding his arms and leaning on the door frame. Red Eyes's eyes faintly glanced at Hiashi and Inoichi, who were a little at a loss.
He obviously heard Hashirama's call, but he seemed to have little interest in the job of "serving food".
Tobirama The tone is calm.
"Since the juniors are so active, let them help. You should also calm down and don't scare the juniors."
There are five tables in total in the yard.
There are two tables for children, two tables for adults, and one table for seniors.
Big Yellow and Akamaru eat in the house.
The three children Konoha 12, Karin, Hanabi and Kazekage are sitting on the children's table with Konohamaru Corps.
After Chunin Ninja Exams passed, Kazahana Koyuki has left.
Therefore, I did not come to this dinner party.
One table for boys, one table for Girl.
Because Shukaku became calmer and Gaara got enough sleep, his eyes became much clearer.
Asuma, red, Genma Squad, Tenzo, Ebisu, and Kakashi 0 who were brought here by Second Hokage, Kai, Kushina, Ino-Shika-Cho, Hiashi, Shibi Aburame, and their partners also share a table for men and a table for women.
Kushina pulled Hanare to ask about getting married to Kakashi. It seemed that he wanted to help Kakashi arrange it.
The remaining First, Second Hokage, Third, Mito, Jiraiya, Orochimaru who had Chakra sealed, Utatane Koharu who dared not look at the teacher, and Mitokado Homura were at the same table.
Momojiji saw the teacher, why?
I feel guilty!
Hashirama Senju was sitting at Main Seat. He looked around at everyone present and then at the specially reserved space on the table, with a slightly curious look on his face.
"Is there anyone else who's not here?"
Hashirama asked cheerfully, looking at everyone, "Isn't everyone here yet? Who are these positions reserved for?"
Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at the empty seat, and then exchanged glances with each other.
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had deep wrinkles on his face and a poor complexion, seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, pondered for a moment and guessed in a hoarse voice:
"It should be...Danzo, right?"
His tone was uncertain, but according to common sense, since Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, who are both consultants to Konoha and have little contact with Naruto, are here, then Shimura Danzō, who is also a senior executive and has a more special status, seems to have no reason to be absent.
Hiruzen felt a trace of bitter self-mockery in his heart: He is indeed an old man, his eyesight is no longer good, and he was fooled around by Naruto and Kid.
Danzo That guy seems unlikely to be invited, but besides him, who else with enough weight would sit in this vacant seat?
Hearing the name "Danzo", Jiraiya, who was sitting opposite Hiruzen, and Orochimaru, who had Chakra sealed next to him, raised their eyelids almost at the same time and looked at each other.
Their eyes met briefly in the air, and they both understood each other's meaning.
It can't be Danzo.
Danzo is dead. In order to give Orochimaru a legal reason to appear, the blame has been placed on him.
Jiraiya shook his head and directly denied Third's guess. He looked at Orochimaru with a tacit understanding in his tone. "I think... it might be Tsunade. What about you, Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru Golden's vertical pupils turned slightly, licked his lips, and echoed in a hoarse voice, "I also think... it might be Tsunade."
For these two old teammates who are both "Sannin" and know each other and Tsunade extremely well, this guess is obviously more logical.
Naruto This party invites a complex mix of people: there are legendary ancestors, there are current core executives and elites, there are close companions, and there are "family members".
Then, as the top Medical Ninjutsu Ninja of Konoha, one of the "Sannin" who also has legendary status, and theoretically has no direct conflict with Naruto, Tsunade should naturally be among the invited.
Moreover, Tsunade is not at Konoha at the moment, which is exactly the key.
"Where can Tsunade go?"
Jiraiya touched his chin and began to analyze, with a somewhat helpless and understanding tone, "For her, besides drinking, it's gambling."
Orochimaru nodded and added, with a hint of playfulness about his old friend's habits in his voice. "Moreover, with her 'luck' and 'reputation'... it's hard not to attract attention in Casino."
Indeed, with Tsunade's prestigious reputation as "the legendary Big Fat Sheep", as long as she appears in any place where Casino is, she will become a "celebrity" almost immediately.
Find out where "Big Fat Sheep" has been recently, how much he has lost, and who he owes...
For ordinary people, this kind of information may just be something to talk about after dinner, but for Orochimaru, who has a huge intelligence network, and Jiraiya, who has extensive connections and is equally good at collecting information, it is easy to lock down the general whereabouts of Tsunade.
Jiraiya travels abroad all year round, and collecting intelligence is his strength. Shinobi World He has channels to contact Casino about information from Casino wine shops.
Generally, when Tsunade's creditor is met by Jiraiya, Jiraiya will help Tsunade repay the debt.
After so many years, Jiraiya can no longer remember how much money he paid back to Tsunade.
Not to mention Orochimaru. He has been running Otogakure for many years. He also has his own informants and intelligence sources in the underground world, Rogue Ninja, and the black market network. It is not difficult to track Tsunade, who is not particularly covert.
But Naruto, how should he find Tsunade?
And can you bring Tsunade back so soon?
Third They all guessed wrong.
The last one that came in was not Tsunade nor Danzo, but Maruboshi Kosuke.
