Chapter 851

Hinata Hyuga brought her younger sister Hyuga Hanabi — this was the Hyuga clan.

Over there, each clan head had brought their children; for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, only the Nara family came with just the clan head, because their son was still in that envoy squad.

The juniors of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans were people he had met before — all in the same year as Lin Cheng and the others. Most importantly, right next to his elder brother, there was still an empty seat, and one look was enough to know who it was being saved for!

"That guy ran into a bit of a situation, but this morning he had Slug pass me a message saying to wait for the Hokage succession ceremony. It's already this late, and he still hasn't shown up."

Hashirama tapped a finger against his leg — right now he was worried that guy had run into trouble again.

So far, apart from this morning's message, there had been nothing else; he still hadn't (good Li's) sent Slug back.

"As if he could run into trouble? No — it couldn't be because he went to the Pure Land to look for Izuna, and that's why something happened, right?"

Frowning as he looked down, Tobirama could think of only one possibility right now — that was it.

After all, it was the Pure Land — pulling someone out from the Shinigami's hands — sooner or later the Shinigami would come to settle the score, wouldn't they?

"No idea. He hasn't said anything at all right now, so forget it — let's wait. He should show up. The fact that he hasn't appeared yet might mean he's preparing a gift for Tsunade. After all, if he came over at a time like this without bringing a gift, I'd be embarrassed for him!"

Watching Minato and Tsunade already walking over toward them, Hashirama agonized for a while, then found himself another reason to feel reassured.
