A New Journey

"Tsunade, don't worry, I will definitely become a powerful ninja, a powerful ninja that others admire and fear."

"Tsunade, I will definitely become a strong ninja who can protect myself, so please don't worry about me. My life won't be lost so easily."

"Other ninjas want to kill me? It won't be that easy. Even if someone tries to harm me, I will make them pay the price. I will make them regret it." Xuan Ye's words were powerful and resolute, each word spoken with utmost seriousness, and his expression was firm.

"Hehe! I have complete faith in your strength, Xiao Ye. With your Xiao Ye strength, there aren't many ninjas who can threaten your life."

"Even so, Xiao Ye, don't underestimate this world of ninjas. There are still people in this Shinobi World stronger than you, so I hope you can be careful. I don't want to never see you again."

Tsunade spoke softly, her eyes filled with reluctance. However, she did not ask Xuan Ye to stay, because she knew that in this Shinobi World, only strength mattered. Only by becoming strong could one truly become a powerful ninja, avoid being killed by other powerful individuals, and protect oneself and those one cared about.

"Xiao Ye! Go now! In a little while, go find one of the three, the Toad Sage Jiraiya, and show him the letter I gave you. He will understand and will take you as his apprentice to teach you ninjutsu and make you stronger."

"Yes! I understand, Tsunade- nee. But there's something I'm still hesitating about whether to say it or not." As he spoke, the corners of Xuan Ye's mouth subtly curled up.

"Xiao Ye, just tell me what's wrong! If you can talk to your sister about it, just say it and don't keep it bottled up inside. That way you'll feel better." Tsunade immediately perked up her ears when she heard that Xuan Ye had something to say.

"Well! Actually, it's just that, Tsunade- nee, could you give me some money? It's the silver I won at the casino a few years ago, just a few tens of millions would be fine, I'm not asking for much." Xuan Ye said somewhat jokingly.

Actually, Xuan Ye said that not because he really wanted the money, but because he wanted Tsunade to distract herself from her sadness.

"Hmph! You still want money? Get lost, don't stay here any longer!"

As expected, as soon as Tsunade heard Xuan Ye asking for money, she immediately turned fierce and chased him away, the sadness in her eyes disappearing.

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Xuan Ye felt relieved and headed towards the place Tsunade had told him about, where Tsunade, one of the three Jiraiya, should be.

Meanwhile, Tsunade stood in the forest, watching Xuan Ye gradually disappear into the distance, a slight smile appearing on her face. "Xiao Ye! Do you really think I can't see through your intentions? I hope your journey will be smooth sailing when I'm no longer by your side!"

And so, Xuan Ye began his search for Jiraiya, the Sannin the Toad Sage, who was introduced to Tsunade Senju.

After leaving the forest, Xuan Ye walked alone on the street. Looking at the extremely prosperous street and the various snacks on both sides of the street, he felt a little sad.

"Sigh! Traveling alone is really not quite what I'm used to! I've been traveling with Tsunade and Shizune for years, and now suddenly I'm traveling alone, which is really a bit hard to get used to."

After saying goodbye to his sister Tsunade, Xuan Ye naturally embarked on a journey to find his ninjutsu teacher Sannin, one of the Jiraiya the Toad Sage, but the result did not seem to be ideal.

Originally, the first place Xuan Ye was supposed to search for was the place Tsunade had told him about. His sister Tsunade Senju, had said that Sannin, Jiraiya be there. However, he had already arrived at this place and still hadn't found him.

"Perhaps I'm too late; he's probably already left this town! That's probably what I'm thinking." Xuan Ye's lips curled into a bitter smile. Finding someone really is quite difficult!

"Coo! Coo! Coo!"

Xuan Ye turned his head and looked at the snacks lining both sides of the street, his mouth watering. "I'm a little hungry! But..."

He patted his pockets and realized that he didn't have a single penny on him. All his money was with Tsunade Xuan Ye. In the past, whenever Xuan Ye Tsunade pay for it. He didn't need to carry any money with him, and she never carried any for him.

"What should I do? What should I do if I have no money?" Xuan Ye was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

As she wandered aimlessly down the street, Xuan Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. She spotted a very familiar shop with a sign that read "Casino."

"Does this mean I have to go and ruin this casino again, and go back to my old ways to make some money?" Xuan Ye thought to himself.

"But it doesn't feel quite right to do this! Casinos must have a hard time making money!"

However, Xuan Ye quickly abandoned this idea and changed his mind, which made him feel much more relaxed.

"No, no! Casinos are a menace, so by going in and making money off them, I'm eliminating this menace, which is actually doing a good deed for the people!"

With that thought in mind, Xuan Ye swaggered into the casino.

An hour later, Xuan Ye walked out of the casino. The casino owner and his gang of henchmen were forcing smiles and waving at Xuan Ye.

If these people didn't have those bruises on their faces, everything would look much more harmonious.

"Boss, who exactly is that kid?! I'm Chunin, and I couldn't even last a single move against him!" a casino thug said angrily.

Shh! Shh! Shh! Are you out of your mind?! You want to die, but I don't!

Upon hearing his henchman's words, the somewhat obese boss turned pale with fright and immediately interrupted him.

"That's Ninja Lord. You'd better be respectful to him, or if Ninja Lord finds out, you'll definitely lose your life."

At this moment, the thug realized that what he had said was inappropriate, and his face immediately turned pale. Fortunately, the Ninja Lord probably didn't hear him.
