Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

When Chi Qing returned, the room was dark.

But the boy was still sitting in the living room, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes empty and confused.

"I'm back." Chi Qing amplified the sound of his footsteps.

Xin was stunned, turned around, and said unskillfully: "...Welcome back?"

"What are you thinking about?" Chi Qing sat down next to him.

Xin shook his head: "My mind is blank, I can't think."

"That's better." Chi Qing said with a smile: "Forget the unhappy things and just remember the happy things."

"Happy things?" Xin's mind flashed with the scene of him and his brother warming each other in the dim room.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly: "You are right."

"Believe me, you and Sai will live a good life." Although the plot has gone astray, based on years of experience, what is supposed to happen will still happen.

"It's only happened in the past few years." Thinking of Danzo's wrapped arm, Chi Qing narrowed his eyes.

"Well, I believe you." The haze of confidence was swept away at this moment, and replaced by expectations for the future.

……

There are more and more foreign tourists coming to Konoha.

Chi Qing also lives a life that revolves around home, the store, and Naruto's place.

The Genin who entered the finals is practicing hard every day.

This was the first time that Naruto and Sasuke had been separated for such a long period of training since they met.

And Sasuke followed Kakashi.

I see the line getting longer every day, and the day I've agreed with Itachi getting closer.

Chi Qing, who is still busy from morning to night and has endless work to do, issued an announcement.

"The countdown is just three days away, and after three days, we'll have a week off!!"

There was a lot of noise, but Chi Qing remained unmoved.

Three days later, the "rest" sign was hung and people left Konoha overnight.

As for Xin, he got a vacation and the task of looking after the house.

Not long ago, Sai came to the pet shop quietly.

He saw Xin who was cleaning the room. Although he couldn't see his face, Sai recognized him at a glance.

After staying for less than half a minute and confirming that his brother was fine, Sai left.

Before going to the Land of Hot Springs, Chi Qing went to find Naruto.

Naruto has already learned the Rasengan and is thinking about how to improve it.

Jiraiya was both pleased and jealous of Naruto's talent.

She watched the boy's increasingly proficient Rasengan with gritted teeth: "His talent makes me jealous." But she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.

"How could I be bad if I inherited the excellent genes from brother Shuimen and sister-in-law?" Chi Qing's eyes were also full of pride and pride.

"Alas..." Speaking of Minato and his wife, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh: "If they were still alive, how comforted they would be to see such a boy."

Chi Qing: "..." He was struggling over whether he should tell her that his brother and sister-in-law were not dead yet.

He opened his mouth, but decided to keep the matter to himself for now: "If you have time, please look for Lady Tsunade's whereabouts."

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"The old man will probably abdicate after the Chunin Exams." Chi Qing thought for a moment and said truthfully, "This exam won't go smoothly. I'm afraid the old man won't be able to handle it. So, Master, can you stay in Konoha for the time being?"

Jiraiya straightened his face and said, "Did you hear any rumors?"

"Uncle Snake was mixed in with the examinees last time, and who knows what he will be next. He might be a daimyo or a certain kage."

Speaking of Orochimaru, Jiraiya also fell silent. After all, there was no guarantee that he would do something if he went crazy.

"I understand. I will stay in Konoha during this period." Jiraiya didn't want anything to happen to the teacher. "So what does this have to do with Tsunade?"

Chi Qing blinked and said, "Be a human being, Master. The old man is old, and it is time for him to retire. This position will either be you or Lady Tsunade."

Jiraiya: “…” That makes so much sense, I can’t refute it.

In order to continue to roam freely, Jiraiya chose to look for Tsunade's trace.
