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

When Chi Qing was at home, in the Hokage Building, in the Konoha Hospital, and occasionally going to the pet shop, time passed quickly.

Many of Konoha's ninjas were sent out, and Chi Qing was used as a trump card by Tsunade, and his presence in the eyes of other countries was deliberately downplayed.

So when Shikamaru found him with a pale face and covered in wounds, he realized it was already this time.

Outside the operating room, Shikamaru sat on a bench, his feet shaking unconsciously, revealing his anxiety.

The already old face of the third generation man sitting next to him looked like someone who was about to be buried.

They were all anxious, but there was nothing they could do but wait.

When you are waiting, time always seems to be unusually long.

Finally, the door of the operating room was opened.

Shikamaru and the Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up at the same time.

After seeing the surgeon Tsunade nod, I finally felt relieved.

"That's great..." Shikamaru leaned against the wall, all his strength drained out, and the tears he had been holding back finally fell.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

At his age, if he had to send his last son away, he felt that he would not be able to bear it.

Chi Qing walked out with Tsunade and also breathed a sigh of relief.

Asuma did almost die under Hidan's blade during his battle.

When he was taking his last breath, the blood from his body seeped into the tool bag and triggered the "amulet" given by Chi Qing.

Such a big person disappeared in front of Feiduan, and Feiduan was stunned for a long time.

Shikamaru also took advantage of this gap to pick up the stone that fell on the ground and put it away.

He used his brain to end the battle as quickly as possible and quickly returned to Konoha.

Fortunately, it's still not too late.

Shikamaru fainted outside the operating room, but fortunately his injuries were not serious.

When he woke up, he sat up suddenly, and when he saw the person lying next to him, he felt relieved.

Hong, who was sitting in front of Asuma's bed, saw Shikamaru wake up, so she stood up and went to help him raise the bed so that he could lean on it better: "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Shikamaru shook his head and fell back: "I thought it was a dream..."

Hong knew what he was talking about, and her eyes were red: "All this is thanks to Chi Qing and Tsunade-sama..."

She stroked her already swollen belly, Hong couldn't imagine losing Asuma.

She had been feeling uneasy ever since Asuma's mission.

Until I received the news that Asma was seriously injured and brought back for rescue, and that the rescue was successful.

The ups and downs in her mood almost made her faint.

Despite the advice, Hong finally relaxed after seeing for herself that Asuma was still breathing.

Tsunade took her for various physical examinations on the grounds that pregnant women should not get too emotional.

She also felt relieved when she found that all the data were normal.

Tsunade was very disapproving when she heard that Jiraiya was planning to sneak into the Akatsuki base.

But Jiraiya had to go there in person, because all of this was due to the children he saved that year.

"They are not bad kids. Perhaps they will listen to my advice because of our past teacher-student relationship." Jiraiya said this.

"You are known as a big fat sheep, so just bet that I will lose this time."

Tsunade looked at him as if he was saying goodbye, and he was leaving and would never come back. She gritted her teeth and said, "Jiraiya!"

"What?" Jiraiya turned around.

"If you come back, we'll get married after everything is over!" She clenched her fists: "If you don't come back, you'll be dead!"

"I, you..." Jiraiya blushed at this sudden 'proposal'.

But he quickly calmed down and said, "Just wait for me to come back and marry you!"
