Leaving Konoha! A strange woman who loved to gamble!

Two days later.

After giving some instructions to Kakashi, Jiraiya, along with Naruto and Shinki, embarked on a journey to find Tsunade.

"Pervy Sage, just what kind of person is Tsunade we're looking for this time?"

On the way, Naruto kept asking questions, like he was asking a million whys.

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Jiraiya unusually patiently explained, "Tsunade, also one of the 'Sannin,' is proficient in Medical Ninjutsu and is the beautiful lady Nero Naruto."

"Pretty young lady?"

Jiraiya clearly didn't believe Naruto's lies.

Even if he were stupid, he would know that.

The Sannin were all disciples of the Third Hokage, so they should be around the same age.

First there was Orochimaru, cold and sinister like a ghost, and then there was the Pervy Sage, old and lecherous.

No matter how beautiful Tsunade, how beautiful can she really be...?

"You don't believe me? You'll understand when you see me."

"That guy doesn't want to see himself grow old, so he probably still looks like he's in his twenties."

Jiraiya didn't rush to explain, but instead adopted a mysterious expression.

At the same time, the root.

"Has that kid already left? Did he leave with Jiraiya?"

Danzo's eyes flickered, their expression unreadable.

The masked Ninja knelt respectfully on the ground, nodded, and said, "Yes, both the Shinki and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox were taken away by Jiraiya to find Tsunade."

"Heh... The Third really trusts his student. Is he planning to have Jiraiya protect Naruto and Shinki?"

"However, their current location outside Konoha gives us the perfect opportunity to strike."

A cruel glint flashed in Danzo's eyes.

The masked Ninja asked uncertainly, "Are we really going to attack that child? After all, he is..."

The masked Ninja left the rest of his sentence unfinished.

The importance of that child to Konoha is self-evident.

That child is now practically considered by everyone in Konoha to be the next Hokage!

"Of course, any knife that cannot be used by me should be broken."

Danzo finished speaking, he turned and walked into the darkness behind him.

"By the way, you are in full charge of this mission. You can freely deploy the people in 'Root,' but make sure that child doesn't return to the village!"

Two days later.

Outside a small town in the Land of Fire.

This is the first town that Shinki Naruto arrived in after leaving Konoha with Jiraiya.

Upon entering the city, Jiraiya used the pretext of gathering information to send Shinki and Naruto away, while he himself cheerfully entered the Kabuki Hall...

Outside the Kabuki Hall, Shinki remained silent for a moment.

"Jiraiya- sensei is really unreliable."

"Shinki, let's ignore him and go buy something to eat."

Naruto looked at the dazzling array of goods in the city and said excitedly.

This is the second time they have left the village to carry out a mission; the last time was to go to the Land of Waves.

The Land of Waves is extremely poor and has no sense of the glamorous world outside of it.

Therefore, this was the first time Naruto and Shinki had ever seen the bustling and prosperous scene outside Konoha!

Shinki did not refuse Naruto's suggestion.

He has plenty of money now, enough to buy a small house in town, let alone afford a nice meal.

After that, Naruto and Shinki wandered around various stalls.

As they walked, the two arrived at the entrance of a casino.

The gambling den was extremely noisy, with gamblers arguing heatedly.

Naruto was standing outside the door, couldn't help but purse his lips when he saw this.

"I don't understand what's so fun about gambling; people actually go bankrupt because of it."

"I don't know, the winners probably want to win more, and the losers are probably unwilling to accept defeat..."

Shinki answered casually.

Anyway, as a model youth of the new century, he would never get involved in gambling!

The two children were talking as they prepared to leave the gambling den.

Just then...

Shinki noticed a blonde woman carrying a suitcase in the distance.

The woman was very beautiful, around twenty years old, with a distinctive Diamond Mark on her head that was quite eye-catching.

In addition, the woman was accompanied by a black-haired attendant who was holding a pig in his arms.

The street was filled with all sorts of people, but Shinki's attention remained fixed on the blonde woman.

Because he sensed that the Chakra within this woman was extraordinary!

Not only is it abundant, but it is also extremely dense!

Even the Chakra of Konoha's Elite Jonin cannot reach this level!

"Strangeness."

Shinki muttered to himself, thinking to himself that the outside world was truly full of hidden talents.

However, just as Shinki withdrew his gaze from the blonde woman, the woman seemed to sense something and suddenly looked in the direction where Naruto and Shinki were.

Her gaze froze when it fell on the Forehead Protector on the two children's heads.

The blond woman's attendant, who had clearly noticed this, remarked, "They're Ninjas from the village. So young, they must be two Genin."

"Where's their team Jonin?"

The blonde woman said, "They didn't show up, so they probably trust them."

"I've heard that the young people in this generation of the village are all quite good."

The blonde woman smiled and said, "Like that child who can use Wood Release, he's shocked the Five Great Nations lately. You can hear people talking about him everywhere you go."

"It's normal for a child who inherited the First Hokage's abilities to receive attention."

The black-haired attendant holding the pig answered casually.

After a brief conversation, the blonde woman and her entourage entered the casino.

By this time, Shinki and Naruto had already passed the casino entrance, but after seeing the woman enter the casino, Shinki still turned back for a glance.

To his surprise, he discovered that the blonde woman's long gown had a large character for "gamble" written on the back.

"A person like that must be an avid gambler."

Shinki said casually.

Naruto, standing nearby, asked in confusion, "Shinki, what are you talking about to yourself...? Let's go buy some takoyaki! The Ninjas returning from their missions said the takoyaki outside is delicious!"

Shinki pulled out some coins from his pocket and handed them to Naruto: "Here are 20,000 coins. Go buy some food. I'll go buy some other things first."

"Good!"

Naruto happily accepted the money from Shinki and rushed towards the takoyaki stall!

Shinki then turned and walked towards a dark corner of the small town.

In almost every major country, there is Black Market for Ninjas.

The Black Market sells Ninjutsu techniques, information, and countless Ninja Tools.

Shinki's trip to the Black Market was to replenish his supply of Explosive Tags and Kunai.

The village only issued five standard Explosive Tags to each person, which was enough, but by no means a surplus.

Shinki plans to buy several hundred of them, so he can throw out the Explosive Tags whenever things go wrong in battle.

At this moment, Shinki was walking slowly down a dark street in the small town.

Suddenly, Shinki stopped and slowly placed a Kunai with the Flying Thunder God Formula mark on the ground.

"What exactly do you want from me after following me for so long?"

The Shinki opened its mouth.

From the darkness behind him, a mysterious figure dressed in Black Robe and wearing a hood stepped into the sunlight.

"Join us."

Shinki raised an eyebrow slightly. "'We'—which organization are you referring to?"
