Shamon walked over with great spirit.
Behind him followed a woman holding a child, and two young guards, a boy and a girl.
"Long time no see, long time no see..."
Mu and Shamon shook hands.
"This is my son, Shasō!"
Shamon proudly showed the child in the woman's arms to Mu.
Sha... Shasō?
Mu took the baby and held him, his expression difficult to maintain. What a strange name...
However, Mu was still quite polite and did not mock him publicly.
But Hōzuki Gengetsu, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up upon hearing it.
"I say, Shamon, did you come up with that name with your toes? Why would you give your child such a name?"
Hōzuki Gengetsu asked with a smile, not hesitating at all.
"Is it strange?"
Shamon scratched his head, not understanding.
He was called Shamon, so wasn't it normal for his son to be called Shasō?
Did he have to be called Sofa?
If it were a daughter, she could indeed be called Sofa...
"Alright, alright, and who are those two behind you?"
Mu looked at the two short young people behind Shamon, feeling a little confused.
Why didn't he remember them from the original work?
Since they could be the Kazekage's guards, they should have had names in the original work...
Judging by their appearance and age, it couldn't be the Third Kazekage.
"Oh, these two are the guards I picked out. The boy is Ebizo, and the girl is Chiyo."
Shamon introduced them.
"Chiyo?"
Mu was slightly startled, then looked at the girl.
The girl looked very restrained, a bit petite and cute, with a baby face and light purple hair.
Wait, what?!
Chiyo?
Are you telling me this petite, light purple-haired loli is Chiyo?!
(Given Sasori's handsome appearance, Chiyo must have been good-looking when she was young.)
Mu really couldn't connect the current Chiyo with the old Chiyo from later on.
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama, I am Chiyo."
Chiyo slightly bowed when she saw the Tsuchikage notice her.
"Alright, I understand."
Mu slightly raised his hand and nodded.
One could only say that girls change a lot as they grow up.
Old age and youth truly were worlds apart.
Of course, that's not to say women are bad when they get old.
Women are like fine wine, the older they get, the more mellow they become.
They just need to age appropriately...
"Sorry, sorry, we're late!"
At this moment, a boisterous voice appeared.
The Third Raikage arrived with Dodai.
"Yo! Third Raikage, you've made it big, becoming the Raikage?"
Shamon said with a faint smile.
"Not at all, not at all, I'm still far from catching up to you seniors..."
The Third Raikage was still very reserved in front of Mu and the others.
"It's really lively, more and more familiar faces are showing up..."
Mu sighed again.
More and more characters from the original work were appearing.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Chiyo, Ebizo, Dodai...
"Why do you always sigh out of nowhere? Are you really getting old?" Hōzuki Gengetsu elbowed Mu.
"No, I'm still very young, don't talk nonsense."
Mu immediately resumed his Tsuchikage demeanor.
"Come, come, put these cameras here, make sure to get good shots."
At this moment, Kakuzu, dressed in a respectable formal suit, walked over with a group of photographers.
The people led by Kakuzu were responsible for filming the entire wedding.
"Yo, Kakuzu, you're here too. How much money did you give for Ōnoki's wedding this time?"
Hōzuki Gengetsu put his hand on Kakuzu's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"That's right, Kakuzu, you're now the director of Iwagakure Central Television. You shouldn't be so stingy, right?"
Mu also asked.
"This..."
When it came to the gift money, Kakuzu felt a pang of pain.
Ever since he took charge of the Iwagakure TV station and filming work, money had been flowing in like water, making him feel incredibly good.
After joining the Iwagakure system, Kakuzu finally understood what it meant to make big money.
"Ahem, ahem..."
"How much money did you two give?"
Kakuzu's eyes rolled as he asked.
Hōzuki Gengetsu and Mu exchanged glances, immediately understanding each other.
"The two of us gave this much!"
Both extended ten fingers.
Kakuzu's eyes widened, then he said, enduring the pain: "I'm about the same, just like you two..."
.....
"Wow! I have to say, Iwagakure is indeed very prosperous!"
"Hehehe, and there's so much good food..."
Jiraiya walked on Iwagakure's main street, looking at the bustling market. Soon, he had a lot of food in his hands.
Tsunade looked at the prosperous Iwagakure unhappily.
After all, this was the Village that had killed her grandfather.
Orochimaru also looked around curiously.
Since it was his first time visiting another Village, he was very interested in the technologies invented by Iwagakure, such as televisions, radios, and wireless communication.
Compared to Iwagakure, Konoha seemed to be in another era.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had introduced Iwagakure's technologies like electricity after he took office, it still couldn't compare to Iwagakure.
"Oh ho ho!! So many pretty young ladies!"
Jiraiya's eyes lit up as he looked at the televisions playing various revealing lingerie commercials.
"That scoundrel Jiraiya! He's really a big pervert!"
Tsunade was speechless when she saw Jiraiya's appearance, but when she saw how revealing Iwagakure's TV commercials were, her face couldn't help but turn red.
Compared to Iwagakure, Konoha was still conservative.
"Hmph hmph! What do you know, Tsunade?"
"This old man is looking at these Iwagakure things with a critical eye. Oh, the evil Iwagakure-ism, let this old man be poisoned by you!"
Jiraiya's eyes glowed as he began searching for erotic magazines in the bookstore.
Sexual repression //
"Boring, childish."
Orochimaru calmly uttered two words.
"As expected, Orochimaru is more normal!"
Tsunade looked at the unmoved Orochimaru, feeling very satisfied.
However, the next second...
Orochimaru suddenly glimpsed a science book on the bookstore shelf.
"Eh? This is..."
Orochimaru slowly pulled it out and began to read it slowly.
Upon reading it, Orochimaru's eyes instantly lit up, and he became completely engrossed, unable to extricate himself.
All his previous questions were answered in this science book.
Orochimaru became more and more absorbed as he read, even sitting down on the floor and reading with great relish.
"Alright, alright, you two..."
Tsunade looked at Orochimaru, who was ignoring her, and then at Jiraiya, who was engrossed in lingerie commercials, and crossed her arms, huffing.
But Tsunade turned her head and saw...
Eh! There's a casino next to it!
"Forget it, I'll just play a bit and see the difference between Iwagakure's and Konoha's..."
Tsunade pouted, then used a Transformation Jutsu to turn into an adult woman and walked in.
As soon as Tsunade entered, she was drawn in by the atmosphere inside.
Unlike Konoha's casinos, there were many machines with levers inside.
The gambling methods were also bizarre and varied.
They were several times richer than Konoha's!
"Is this thing called a slot machine?"
Tsunade tentatively inserted a coin, then pulled the lever.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Immediately, the screen flashed, and several patterns appeared.
The next second, a large amount of gold coins popped out from below.
"Hahaha! So that's how it is!"
"This princess knows how to play now. It's time to go big. This will be a grand gamble!"
Tsunade licked her lips, her face flushed, ready to go all out!
