Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

A new title immediately appeared on the screen.

Who are some of the older, unmarried women in Naruto?

After a brief silence, the entire ninja world erupted in chaos once again.

"Just now it was the 'simp' list, now it's the 'older single' list... Is Tianmu really embroiled in relationship problems today?"

"Isn't this much more interesting than watching ninja fights?!"

"Exactly! Isn't watching the drama more interesting than observing ninjutsu?!"

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade was holding a wine glass, about to take a sip, when she saw this title and her hand paused slightly.

She squinted, staring at the sky, her expression subtle.

"Being single at an older age... I hope Tianmu won't say anything about me?"

Jiraiya leaned back on the sofa and couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Tsunade, you're over fifty and still unmarried. It would be strange if you weren't on this list, wouldn't it?"

"Jiraiya, do you want to die?" Tsunade's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the corner, silently took a puff of his pipe, and chose to play dead.

Meanwhile, in the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure, Mei Terumi suddenly sat up straight.

"Still single at an advanced age?!" She repeated the phrase, her expression complex. "Is Tianmu going to publicly humiliate me again?"

Ao and Chojuro exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked away, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

But both of them were thinking the same thing: the Mizukage was probably going to be on the list.

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

[First place: Mei Mizukage, Fifth Generation.]

[A single woman in her late thirties, desperate to get married, has developed an inexplicable obsession with marriage because her wedding was delayed due to being too busy with work.]

Mizukage Village, Mizukage's Office.

Mei Terumi's face darkened, and the temperature in the entire office seemed to drop.

Qing quietly added a comment from the side.

"The sky is referring to the future; Lord Mizukage, you are still young..."

"Young my foot!"

Mei Terumi suddenly stood up, slammed her hand on the table, and said angrily.

"Even the heavens have said I'm an older, unmarried woman!"

She then exhaled, forced herself to calm down, and sat back down in her chair.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Konoha, the villagers who had come to watch the spectacle were laughing heartily.

"Hahahaha! The Fifth Mizukage? The one Kakashi looked down on before, right?"

"They were just too busy with work! What do you know!"

Mei Terumi doesn't not want to get married, it's just that she wants it too much, she dreams about it, and it has to be a handsome man.

However, as the saying goes, there's always a tiny, slight gap between ideals and reality.

In reality, the men she has the opportunity to meet are generally only unattractive or undesirable.

Mizukage Village, Mizukage's Office.

Mei Terumi looked at the words on the sky and nodded in deep agreement.

She then sighed helplessly.

"Tianmu is right..."

"I do want to get married, but look at the kind of people I'm surrounded by!"

Her gaze swept over Ao and Chojuro.

green:"……"

Chojuro: "..."

"An old man with a face full of scars, a timid young man carrying two knives. And the others are all unbearable to look at. How am I supposed to choose?"

Ao silently lowered her head, while Chojuro blushed and muttered under his breath.

"Lord Mizukage, I... I also have my strengths..."

"Strengths? Then tell me, what strengths do you have?"

"I...I'm not bad at swordsmanship..."

"Then you might as well spend your life with your knife."

Chojuro: "..."

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage's Office.

Ohnoki stroked his beard, looking at the content displayed on the sky, his tone tinged with emotion.

"That Mei Terumi girl is indeed getting on in years. She's quite capable as the Mizukage, but she can't let her marriage be delayed."

Hei Tu, who was sitting nearby, chuckled upon hearing this.

"Grandpa, why do you sound like you're worried about your granddaughter?"

"Can't I worry about things?" Onoki glared at her. "You should also be careful, lest you end up on the Sky Screen's list too."

Hei Tu's smile froze instantly.

"...Grandpa, I don't like hearing you say that."

Second place: Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage.

Konoha Year 60, Hokage's office.

Tsunade was leaning against the window, holding a wine glass, looking indifferent as if it were none of her business, when she saw her name appear on the sky.

She squinted at the sky, and although she already knew the answer in her heart, she still found it hard to believe when she saw it.

"I?"

Jiraiya sat up slightly on the sofa, his smile gradually widening.

He was in a very good mood at the moment, and he already had a feeling that what was about to happen would be very exciting.

Tsunade getting her comeuppance—this isn't a scene you see every day!

Actually, Tsunade did have one such position when she was younger.

Kato Dan's image appeared on the sky; he was young, handsome, with a Konoha headband on his forehead, and a gentle smile like a little sun.

However, life in the ninja world is too fragile; they might die before even getting married.

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade stopped drinking from her glass completely.

She looked at the face on the sky that she hadn't thought of for many years, and her expression finally changed.

The young Kato Dan, the man who always smiled and told Tsunade, "Tsunade, wait for me to come back," never returned.

Jiraiya noticed Tsunade's silence, his playful grin subsided, and he stopped teasing her.

He didn't want to provoke Tsunade at that moment.

[Besides those who died young, Tsunade also had Jiraiya by her side.]

In terms of timing of confessions, Jiraiya was much earlier than Dan Kato.

If the two of them had gotten together back then, Tsunade's child would have been a month old by the time the debunking was completed.

It's a pity that when it comes to confessing your feelings, being good-looking is worse than being early.

From his looks to his personality, Jiraiya was completely unsuitable for Tsunade's approval.

The Hokage's office.

"puff!"

Jiraiya spat out a mouthful of sake, sat up abruptly, and pointed at the sky.

"What do you mean none of them are good enough for Tsunade?! I was handsome back in the day, okay?!"

Tsunade remained silent, offering no response.

[Kato Dan has been dead for so many years, and Jiraiya still hasn't had a chance to take advantage of the situation.]

[Finally, Tsunade was about to confess, but then Jiraiya died.]

The last sentence of the text on the sky fell very softly.

There was a moment of silence in the Hokage's office.

Jiraiya's smile froze on his face, and he didn't reply.

Tsunade stared at the last sentence on the sky and remained silent for a long time.

Then she picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"So, in my whole life, I've never met the right person."

Tsunade put down her teacup, her voice devoid of any discernible emotion.

"Either die too early, or die too late."

Jiraiya scratched his head, unusually remaining silent.

He thought about the possibility that he might die at Nagato's hands in the future.

I don't know whether I should thank Tianmu for telling me in advance.
