Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"Have you noticed that Elder Danzo is now in his fifties or sixties, but he has always been all alone?"

Baiyun and Qingye whispered.

The others nodded seriously as well.

Baiyun Qingye continued.

"Then have you noticed that the Third Hokage is also a single person now?"

The four women nodded again, and Tian Tian asked in confusion.

Is there a problem with this?

"This is a huge problem!"

"I have a feeling that their relationship is definitely not ordinary; they might be secretly lovers."

Bai Yun Qingye revealed a wicked grin. "Huh? Qingye, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't they all men?"

Tian Tian stared speechlessly at Bai Yun and Qing Ye, wondering why they were talking nonsense.

The others also looked at him with confusion.

Bai Yun Qingye raised her finger and shook it, saying, "Who said it's not okay for men to be together? That's discrimination!"

"True love can transcend gender and age!"

"This……"

At this moment, Tenten, Ino, Sakura, and Uzuki Yugao all looked at the serious-looking Shirakumo Aoba with expressions of horror.

At the same time, a bad thought popped into my mind.

"Aoba...you don't...like boys, do you?"

Uzuki Yugao asked the question with trepidation.

The other three women also listened intently, afraid of hearing answers they didn't want to hear.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yunqingye's face scrunched up, revealing a look of disgust. He didn't know why the other person would ask such a question.

Why do you think I would like boys?

She always calls him "little girlfriend," but then she actually questions his sexual orientation.

"Well, it's because you seem to really like gay men..."

Feeling a little embarrassed, Uzuki Yugao quickly changed the subject.

“I think you’re not quite right. The Third Hokage actually had a wife, but she passed away a few years ago. Besides, I’ve seen the Third Hokage arguing with Elder Danzo quite often, so there’s no such feeling between them.”

"Ha, if you guys could really figure this out right away, wouldn't that be terrible?"

Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"And look, even though Elder Danzo is always arguing with the Third Hokage and making him unhappy, the two of them still stay together all the time. Doesn't that say something?"

"As for the death of the Third Hokage's wife, I think that's the reason for this situation."

"Hey! Why?"

None of the four understood.

Have you ever heard of feelings developing over time?

Bai Yunqingye and the others exchanged glances, chuckled, and then began to chat.

"You should know that the Third Hokage and Elder Danzo were childhood friends who grew up together and were even from the same school. They also served as the Second Hokage's bodyguards in the past. They were close friends who had gone through thick and thin together. With so many years of experience, the two had developed an extraordinary understanding."

"It was after the Third Hokage's wife passed away that the Third Hokage was devastated and wept bitterly. It was at this time that Elder Danzo took advantage of the situation and stayed by the Third Hokage's side."

"Moreover, given their past understanding, even if they argued, it wouldn't hurt their relationship. It was at this time that their relationship became even more unbreakable. So, what exactly is an unbreakable relationship?"

"hiss--"

For a moment, the four of them gasped in surprise, because they quickly sorted out their thoughts and also realized that there was no problem with the logic in Bai Yun Qingye's words.

I couldn't help but start to doubt the authenticity of this matter.

Could this really be true?

This is...this is too absurd.

Two old men...

Bai Yun Qingye's expression became even more excited, his eyes gleaming.

"It's like dry wood meeting a raging fire, it's unstoppable! But because of their identities, if they were to show it, it would definitely have a very bad impact on the village."

"So they both buried this love deep in their hearts, but they buried it so deep that they were often unaware of each other's love."

"Sister Xiyan, when you and the Jonin leading the team went to submit the mission, did you pay attention to the details of how the Third Hokage and Elder Danzo interacted?" Baiyun Qingye asked again.

"What details?" Uzuki Yugao asked, puzzled.

"Elder Danzo, do you never knock before entering the Hokage's office?"

"Okay, it seems so." Actually, Uzuki Yugao wasn't sure either, because she hadn't encountered it many times; she had only been taken there by Shirokumo Aoba.

"Did Elder Danzo never win an argument with the Third Hokage?"

“Okay, it seems that every time, it’s Elder Danzo who leaves looking very angry.” This is something that Uzuki Yugao has witnessed firsthand.

Baiyun Qingye curled the corners of her mouth again.

"So, this is their love for each other; they are tolerant of each other."

"Moreover, I'm certain that in the very beginning, it was Elder Danzo who had a crush on the Third Hokage."

"Why?" the four women asked curiously again, now completely absorbed in the gossip.

"Because Elder Danzo has always been single and unmarried, and he often inexplicably goes to the Hokage's office to argue with the Third Hokage, and after arguing, he always slams the door and leaves."

"This was a deliberate attempt to attract the Third Hokage's attention. Coupled with various details, it was all about Elder Danzo's unrequited love, and then taking advantage of the situation to gradually bring them together."

After saying this, for some reason, Bai Yun Qingye suddenly felt a chill.

He immediately looked up and around, but found nothing suspicious, so he could only scratch his head in confusion.

"Snapped!"

"It seems that's really the case!"

Uzuki Yugao suddenly slammed her fist into her small hand, revealing an expression that said she understood everything.

"Ever since Lord Biwako passed away, the Hokage has been living alone in the Hokage Building. Others rarely visit him except for missions."

"Only Elder Danzo would make time to visit the Hokage Building every week, even when he had nothing else to do. It seems that the Hokage was moved by Elder Danzo's perseverance."

Everyone stared at Uzuki Yugao in shock, including Shirakumo Aoba.

'So you've managed to make your logic consistent, huh?'

However, he didn't say much; he found it quite amusing.

He seemed to have suddenly returned to his college days in his previous life, to the days after lights out, chatting with his roommates in the dormitory.

Time really flies.

Shirokumo Aoba didn't know why she suddenly felt a little emo.

It's not past midnight yet.

"I never imagined that the story between the Hokage and Elder Danzo would be so touching... Waaah, it's so touching."

While others were still wondering about the relationship between the two old men, and experiencing various toothaches and inexplicable physical discomfort,

Sakura, the love-struck girl, started crying again.

Shirokumo Aoba was completely stunned when he saw Sakura's reaction, and then he looked at the reactions of the others.

Seriously, you guys actually believed that?

Will this become a forgotten chapter in Konoha's history decades from now?

But now is not the time to think about these things; he needs to comfort Sakura as soon as possible.

As for how to comfort her, of course, it's with another big melon.

"Sakura, actually, let me tell you, there are quite a few people in Konoha who like this kind of thing, and it's a tradition that's been around for a long time. For example, the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Kakashi and Guy, and so on."

"Let me tell you everything..."

"Back then, Madara Uchiha did this because he couldn't have the First Hokage's love..."

"The Second Hokage, too, had a love-hate relationship with an Uchiha, which led to..."

"Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, also decided to defect because Jiraiya-sama never understood his feelings..."

"And then there's the complicated love triangle between Kakashi, Might Guy, and some unknown Uchiha..."
