Chapter 326
Hearing Kushina's voice, Hiruzen also looked over.
He greeted warmly: "Oh, it's Kushina. How have you been lately under Sora-sama's care?"
"Come to think of it, Uzumaki Ashina often mentions you to me. It's just that he's busy rebuilding the structures of the Land of Whirlpools and can't find time to visit you!"
"Let me tell you, Kushina, you must never anger Sora-sama. Our wonderful lives today are all thanks to Sora-sama. If Sora-sama ever gets angry, it won't affect just one or two people… millions will be impacted!"
"Just like my own foolish son, who tried to block a chariot with his arms like a mantis, only to have both arms severed by White Fang. I even said White Fang did the right thing… he was too ignorant of the times!"
"Just like Asuma, if you cause problems, it will directly affect the people of the Land of Whirlpools!"
Hiruzen spoke earnestly.
Of course, he hid one thing he didn't say: Kushina was sent by him. If Kushina had any problems, he would also be affected.
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Kushina bit her lip, understanding in her heart.
"Of course, Third Hokage-sama. When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. I am already Soul King-sama's consort. How could I ever act against the Soul King-sama?"
"Please tell my grandfather that I am living very well here. When I become pregnant one day, I will bring my son home to see him!"
"Hahaha, that's good, that's good!"
Hearing Kushina's words, Hiruzen laughed heartily.
At this moment, looking at the laughing Hiruzen, whose eyes seemed unfocused, as if he couldn't see anything, Kushina also reacted. She whispered into Sora's ear: "He can't see?"
"That's right. I don't have such a habit. This isn't a video call." Sora explained.
He looked teasingly at Kushina: "What, should I switch it to video for you?"
"No, no! Just ask whatever you need to ask quickly!" Kushina hurriedly shook her head.
Hearing her words, Hiruzen also sounded puzzled: "Sora-sama, you specifically sought me out this time. Is there something?"
"That's right." Sora took over: "Regarding the small country called Roran in the Land of Wind's desert, I wonder how much Hokage knows."
"Roran..." Hearing Sora's words, Hiruzen fell into recollection.
"I do know a bit about that country!" Hiruzen began narrating: "It's a very remote small country. For thousands of miles around, it's all desert, with only that one oasis."
"Therefore, it's very difficult for outsiders to go there, and very difficult for those inside to come out!"
"So even though Roran is within the Land of Wind, it became a country within a country. Even people from the Land of Wind rarely go to find Roran's people."
"However, during the previous Great Ninja War, Konoha received a request for assistance from Roran. It seemed to be about a minister named Anrokuzan staging a coup, hoping for Konoha's support."
"And Konoha accepted this request."
"It's just that at that time..." The Third Hokage suddenly laughed awkwardly: "Konoha was still foolishly engaging Kirigakure led by Sora-sama, so..."
He didn't continue the words that followed.
But even without him saying it, Sora knew.
'So it was still because of me… I had caused this movie plot to vanish.'
"I see." Sora nodded, understanding the situation. He continued questioning: "Then, does Hokage know anything about Roran's subsequent situation?"
"No, Sora-sama. That's all I know." Hiruzen regretfully shook his head: "If Sora-sama wants to know more, you could ask the Kazekage. They are locals and would obviously know more than I do."
"Hmm." Hearing Hiruzen's words, Sora nodded and dispelled Hiruzen's projection.
Waving his hand again, Chiyo appeared before Sora.
Looking at the two before her, Chiyo was somewhat surprised, then a smile spread across her face:
"Oh, Soul King-sama, what brings you to seek out this old woman today?"
"Your spirits seem quite high."
"It seems you are indeed quite taken with Kushina!"
"Hahaha, it's just average. Mainly, someone kept saying their recovery power was amazing, that they could recover themselves in just an hour or two. I didn't believe it and made her prove it." Sora chuckled.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Kushina reacted: "She can see us?"
"Of course I can see. I'm not blind!" Chiyo answered with a smile: "Kushina, long time no see. You've... grown up."
"..."
Hearing Chiyo's words, Kushina buried her head into Sora's shoulder, not daring to look at the other party.
Grown up? Of course she'd grown up. Anyone would grow if exercised daily.
It's just that the current Kushina clearly had no energy to deal with Chiyo's words, and she didn't even want to open her mouth to beg Sora.
Her mindset was also very clear.
At most, she'd just give up. So what?
Seeing this, Sora also knew he couldn't play too hard all at once.
Dismissing Chiyo's projection, Sora once again inquired about Roran.
And this time, regarding Roran's information, Sora got his answer from Chiyo's mouth!
