Chapter 493 Naruto and Tsunade meet

On the evening of the third day, Naruto and Gaara followed the route taken by the refugees and arrived at a valley near the border of the Land of Fire.

Their journey was incredibly arduous; they killed people and provided relief to the populace along the way, only occasionally eating the cold, dry rations given to them by the people.

Of course, they would occasionally steal food from the swordsmen of the Land of Waterfall. They had a kind of pill that smelled very good, and when you ate it, you could taste meat in your mouth. One pill could satisfy you for a whole day.

Just then, shouts of battle came from afar. Naruto sped up the hillside and looked down—

In the valley, a group of swordsmen were surrounding and attacking the four people.

The blonde woman leading the group was pale-faced and wore a dress with the word "gambling" on her back. Beside her was a young woman with black hair, who was holding a pink pig and looking around nervously.

Ahead, fighting against the Dao Dao gang, were two older brothers.

The brown-haired boy wasn't particularly tall, but he was incredibly strong, capable of taking down people with a single punch.

Another black-haired youth was lithe and graceful. Most importantly, he had the same eyes as his father and could teleport.

"Obito's father..." Because it was getting late, Naruto was so engrossed in watching that he couldn't help but shout out and rushed down.

Because he missed his father so much, the person in front of him looked so much like Obito's father, not only in terms of clothes and hairstyle, but also in the same techniques, except that he wasn't wearing a mask.

However, Gaara quickly stopped him from behind, "Naruto, don't go over there, that person isn't Obito."

"Yes, it looks very similar to me. Only he in the ninja world knows that kind of space-time jutsu and has those eyes." At this moment, Naruto didn't care about anything else. Gaara felt a surge of anger. Why? Why could he never be number one in his heart?

However, at that moment, the swordsmen on the other side had been wiped out. Uchiha Mamoru noticed the abnormality and immediately flashed over.

Just as Gaara was about to strike with his kunai, he realized it was two children and immediately turned around. However, Gaara felt fear, and the sand in his hand instantly turned into a waterfall, slapping towards him.

Fortunately, Uchiha Momoko instantly teleported behind him, pressed a kunai against his neck, and showed no mercy with a cold expression.

Gaara was restrained, and having regained his senses, he shook his head and said, "No, it's not Father. Who are you? Let Gaara go!"

"Naruto, don't worry about me, run!" Gaara urged, just about to use his killing move to take them both down with him.

Just then, Tsunade called out from a distance, "Stop!"

Uchiha Shusho released the man and flashed back to the three of them.

After being released, Gaara coughed a few times and was helped up by Naruto.

At this moment, the four adults are standing opposite the two children, as if they are bullying them.

What was even more intriguing was the scent of tailed beasts emanating from them. Tsunade immediately asked, "Kids, what are your names?"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and this is Gaara."

"So it's you guys, the former Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast and the Nine-Tailed Beast!" Tsunade and the others immediately realized what was happening and looked around, but they didn't find the mysterious person. They remained vigilant.

"Kids, I'll ask you again, how did you get here? Where is the person who kidnapped you?"

Naruto lowered his head and said, "Father has a new child. He doesn't want me anymore."

Tsunade said, "From what you're saying, you're still very sad. Do you know that he's the enemy who killed your father and mother?"

"I know, I know everything, he's already told me. But I've already forgiven him."

Tsunade fell silent for a moment, but she understood. After all, he had been raised by that mysterious person since he was a child and had never met his biological parents, so how could he have any feelings for them?

Gaara, however, looked at them warily and asked, "Who are you people?"

Tsunade replied, "I am Tsunade, this is my disciple Shizune, over there is my son Senju Kazuya, and Uchiha Mamoru of the Uchiha clan."

"Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin!" Naruto's eyes widened immediately. It turned out that this old woman was also a master.

"Just empty fame, it's all in the past." Tsunade waved her hand, probably the only thing she could boast about now was her medical ninjutsu. As for strength, she probably couldn't even beat her son who had awakened Wood Release.

"Then may I invite you to return to Konoha together and stop a war?" Naruto asked sincerely as he stepped forward.

"Return to Konoha and stop the war?" Tsunade sneered. "Don't be ridiculous, kid. You know it's because of the war. With your strength, don't overestimate yourself."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Naruto shouted after her, "Are you just going to stand by and watch so many people be displaced? And Konoha Village, I heard it's your village too, are you going to watch your homeland be destroyed?"

"You brat, what are you saying!" Tsunade turned around, clearly angered by his words.

How could she bear to see her country decline? How could she not feel heartbroken to see the hard work of her eldest and second eldest sons, Ye, being wasted?

But what could she do? She was just a woman, and she didn't want her child to be involved in this war, to die on the battlefield like her husband and her brother.

"Lady Tsunade, I will stop it no matter what, whether you join or not."

After saying that, Naruto took Gaara's hand and turned to leave, afraid that Gaara would know that his power was weak, and that he also wanted to contribute his strength to the ninja world.

Moreover, he wasn't just himself; he also had a nine-tailed fox inside him. He had known this for a long time, but the other party had never responded to him and refused to lend him its power.

"Hey kids, do you know which way to Konoha? That direction is wrong. Going straight will take you on a detour," Tsunade called out from behind with a smile.

Senju Kazuya, standing to the side, asked, "Mother, do we really have to go back?"

"Of course I have to go back. I can't just stand by and watch the village that Master Ye and Master Ye built be destroyed."

Tsunade sighed, finally making her decision. However, before following them, she said to Kazuya Senju, "Kazuya, there's something I must remind you: unless absolutely necessary, you are not allowed to use Wood Release. You are only permitted to use the Super Strength Fist I taught you. Do you understand?"

"Mother, I understand, but..."

"No, just let's go back to Konoha."

Uchiha Momoko, who was standing behind, paused for a moment and watched the three of them quickly catch up. Naruto and the others followed closely behind.

"I thought you weren't coming along." Shizune walked in the middle of the group and whispered as she saw him come over, holding the pig.

"That is also my Konoha."
