Tsunade's Debt! An Invitation from the Wasabi Family
This way.
After persuading Tsunade to return to the village and Hokage, Shinki and Jiraiya's group embarked on their journey back to the village.
To minimize the time required, Shinki suggested using the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring everyone back.
"Hey buddy, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Tsunade immediately spoke up, saying, "The thought of returning to Konoha and having to deal with heavy administrative duties gives me a huge headache. _"
"Wouldn't it be better to play outside a little longer?"
Naruto, who loves to play, agreed with Tsunade's suggestion, "We've only just managed to leave the village once, so let's stay out for a few more days."
Shinki thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.
After all, once back in the village, daily life consisted of eating, sleeping, and doing tasks—it was incredibly boring!
"Let's go to the hot Hot Springs," Tsunade suggested.
"Huh? What's so good about Hot Springs?"
Jiraiya scoffed, "Let's go relax at the Kabuki Hall or an izakaya."
"But as far as I know, the Hot Springs in this city are mixed-gender bathing, and there are quite a few young and beautiful girls bathing here," Tsunade said, her breath sweet as orchids, as she leaned over Jiraiya.
Jiraiya:(´◊ω◊`)
"Alright! Let's go to the Hot Springs and relax tonight!!"
The group of five entered the mixed-gender bathhouse.
Behind the group, two mysterious figures wearing straw hats followed furtively...
Jiraiya was initially overjoyed, looking forward to soaking in the Hot Springs with the beautiful young lady.
But once inside the Hot Springs, they discovered it was filled with burly men with menacing faces!
After the big man left, it was replaced by an old man in his fifties or sixties with a face full of wrinkles...
Surrounded by a bunch of old radishes, Jiraiya was on the verge of tears: ᕦ༼༎ຶ_༎ຶ༽ᕗ
"Hang in there, I must wait for the young and beautiful lady to arrive."
And a small gambling den outside the Hot Springs.
Tsunade and Shizune, wearing coats, were playing a slot machine...
"Lady Tsunade, shall we go for a soak in the Hot Springs together?" Shizune asked.
"That lecherous guy is in there now, I don't want to shower with him. ┐(´-`)┌"
Tsunade pouted.
She knew all too well Jiraiya kind of person Jiraiya was.
As the two were talking, the slot machine beeped with the message that they were out of chips...
Enraged, Tsunade slammed her fist on the gambling machine. "What a piece of junk! Can't I win even once?!"
That punch completely destroyed the gambling machine.
The staff member next to him immediately approached with a smile, "Hello, ten thousand yuan."
Tsunade: "..."
To be honest, what she just put into the gambling machines was almost all of her savings!
She may look presentable now, but she's penniless!
"Let me write you an IOU, I'll pay you back later."
So Tsunade started her familiar process of borrowing money again.
Despite this, the staff member still greeted them with a smile, "This is a small business, we don't lend money."
After the staff member finished speaking, other staff members around them moved in response and surrounded Tsunade and Shizune.
With Tsunade's fighting prowess, she could easily take down these henchmen.
But she's supposed to go back to the village to inherit the Hokage title, and it would be too embarrassing for Konoha to get out if word got out that she got into a fight because of debt!
So, Tsunade said seriously to Shizune beside her, "Shizune, you understand what I mean, right?!"
Shizune, holding Tonton, nodded awkwardly, "Lady Tsunade, are you sure you want to do that? After all, you are now..."
Tsunade nodded. "OK, I'll count to three..."
Shizune and nervously, she said, "Okay."
Tsunade: "One, two..."
"Three!!"
The two Ninjas, both quite powerful, dashed off in a flash!
The casino staff were completely dumbfounded.
"How... how could they run so fast?"
"You're dressed so smartly, I didn't expect you couldn't even come up with ten thousand yuan."
One of the staff members suddenly looked thoughtful.
"Don't you guys think that pretty blonde woman looks familiar?"
"Especially that diamond-shaped Curse Mark between her eyebrows... I remember now! She's that legendary fat sheep, Tsunade from Konoha!"
"In that case, let's go directly to Konoha to collect the debt. They're such a big village; they can't possibly be unable to pay this little bit of money."
One of the staff members suggested.
Just then, Shinki and Naruto had just finished soaking in the Hot Springs, happened to pass by and overheard a conversation among the staff.
It's obvious without even thinking that Lady Tsunade ran away with the money she owed.
So, Naruto, not wanting Konoha to be smeared, borrowed 10,000 yen from the Shinki to help Tsunade pay off her debt.
After repaying the money, the staff member looked at the two children with satisfaction. "Young men, this is what makes you excellent Ninjas of Konoha!"
"Never be like that fat sheep Tsunade from your Konoha! She gambles even when she has no money!"
Shinki and Naruto were speechless.
Lady Tsunade is over fifty years old and is about to succeed Lord Hokage, yet she still manages to do something like this.
They were somewhat worried about the future of Konoha.
Afterwards, the two bought some simple food and returned to the hotel.
Pushing open the door, Shinki was surprised to find that their belongings had been ransacked.
What was lost was the large Scroll that Shinki Shopping used to store Ninja Tools!
Shinki immediately became anxious.
"Damn it, who stole it! The stuff inside that Scroll is worth tens of thousands! (▼皿▼#)"
Suddenly, Naruto noticed a note on the ground.
It was clearly written on the note.
[To get the Scroll back, we need Tsunade to bring all the outstanding debts to the Back Mountain.]
[Signature: Akagi Family]
Shinki sighed, speechless. "It's that old hag owing money again!"
Naruto looked equally helpless. "Can someone like that really be the leader of Konoha?"
After that, Shinki used the Flying Thunder God to teleport directly to Tsunade's side.
At this moment, Tsunade was actually drinking tea and chatting with some old man!
Shinki patted Tsunade on the back without ceremony and said, "Because you owe someone money, they stole the Ninja Tools Scrolls that I bought at great expense."
Tsunade: "Because I owe money?"
Shinki: "Yes! Anyway, hurry up and return the money to them and redeem my Scroll."
During a break in Shinki and Tsunade's conversation.
The white-haired old man sitting opposite Tsunade looked at the Shinki in surprise.
"Was that what this young man just used the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"Right."
Tsunade nodded.
The man's expression immediately turned to surprise. "Tsunade, could he be that Ninja inherited Wood Release?!"
Tsunade nodded again. "Yes."
"Brother, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
The man quickly grabbed Shinki's hand.
Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Shinki could only politely greet them, "Hehe, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Tsunade to the man and introduced him, "This is my friend, Wasabi Jirocho."
Then Tsunade to Shinki: "This is Shinki, a young Ninja from our village."
Wasabi Jirocho looked at Shinki and got straight to the point. "Our Land of Tea holds Festival every four years, and I'd like to ask Shinki- kun to help protect the contestants. I wonder if you have the time?"
Shinki politely replied, "Just submit the mission request to Konoha when the time comes. If I don't have any missions in progress at that time, I'll accept it."
After exchanging pleasantries, Shinki faced Tsunade, remaining true to his original aspirations.
"Go pay back the money right now!"
