Princess Tsunade
The Land of Whirlpools, a town.
Inside a luxurious room, Mei Terumi sat behind a screen, while on the other side of the screen sat Suikazan Fuguki, the commander of the Mist Ninja in the Land of Whirlpools.
"The situation has changed. Tsunade Konoha Sannin, has entered and disappeared last night in the gambling city. Moreover, Orochimaru's whereabouts seem to have been discovered in the Land of Whirlpools."
Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi, who was wearing a mask, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Two of the Sannin have arrived. It seems that Konoha is determined to obtain the First Hokage's weapon this time. Is there some secret behind this?"
It's just a weapon; logically speaking, it shouldn't warrant the deployment of two Sannin- level beings.
Meanwhile, Suikazan Fuguki silently gazed at the Mist Ninja behind the screen, calculating the gains and losses in his mind, and finally fell into deep thought.
"Orochimaru may not have come for the First Hokage's weapon, but the village has a mission for you."
A photograph pierced through the screen and was casually caught by Mei Terumi. As she gazed at the figure in the photograph, Suikazan Fuguki began to speak in a low voice about the mission.
"This person's real name is Sesshomaru. His ancestors were Samurai nobles. He was a ninja trained by Konoha and was proficient in Medical Ninjutsu and swordsmanship. According to information gathered by our people in Konoha, he participated in Orochimaru's Human experimentation experiments and later defected from Konoha when he was dealt with by the Anbu."
"His overall strength is at the Jōnin level. The village's goal is simple: to extract all the data from Konoha's Human experimentation from his brain."
The Human Experimentation that could drive a Hokage candidate to expel the Land of Fire are probably no ordinary feat. If it's not S-Rank Forbidden Jutsu, it's at least some kind of top-secret experiment. There's no Kirigakure village in the Genin that wouldn't want it, let alone Kirigakure.
Uchiha Yoru secretly disguised himself Sesshomaru and infiltrated the area. Suikazan Fuguki was unaware of this. He saw an opportunity: an opportunity to make a name for himself and an opportunity to stir up trouble.
After giving his instructions, Suikazan Fuguki slowly transformed into Water Clone and disappeared. In the empty house, Mei Terumi, wearing a mask, looked at the photos and intelligence scroll in her hand, a solemn expression on her face.
"Konoha is truly a cradle of geniuses. First came geniuses like the Sannin and the Fourth Hokage, then geniuses like Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Yoru. Why doesn't Heaven favor our Mist Ninja?"
Thinking of the current policies of the Mist Ninja, Mei Terumi a bitter smile and sighed softly, "Even geniuses can be heartbroken. When will the Kirigakure be able to retain its own geniuses?"
Does Kirigakure really lack geniuses? No! Kirigakure has no shortage of Genius Ninjas, but they either defected under the Blood-and-Iron Policies, or were driven to extreme cruelty by the environment, and countless geniuses died before they could even grow up.
"I'm not in a position to change anything right now, but I won't give up."
A resolute glint appeared in her emerald green eyes; this was her Nindo —she would not give up on changing the Mist Ninja.
The bustling town was filled with joyful smiles, as if it were a paradise on earth, but at night it was a haven of sin.
As evening fell, Sesshomaru's arrival merely made everyone aware of the existence of this Medical Ninja; he didn't receive much attention from the Five Great Nations or even the top mercenary ninja groups.
However, the ninja Spies of the Five Great Nations had already received the news that Sesshomaru's Medical Ninjutsu was not important; what mattered was the secret in his mind about Konoha 'Orochimaru Human experimentation in Konoha, which aroused the greed of many people.
"Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru."
A respectful voice rang out, Sesshomaru coldly pocketed the reward he had received. He merely nodded indifferently to the mercenary Ninja legion that thanked him.
"Just a transaction."
The formidable mercenary Ninja legion nodded respectfully. They didn't want to get involved unnecessarily, but maintaining good relations with a high-level Medical Ninja was extremely important.
Missions often involve injuries, poisoning, and even physical disabilities, making a skilled Medical Ninja extremely important.
Under the intimidation of Sesshomaru's strength, no one dared to test him for the time being. However, high-level Medical Ninjas were extremely important to ninjas, so a hiring relationship emerged.
It's a normal transaction where you pay for my treatment.
Looking at the money in his hands, Sesshomaru sighed inwardly, "No wonder Medical Ninjas are so popular. It's true that no matter what world you're in, medicine is always a highly profitable industry."
The treatment only consumed some of my Chakra and some medicinal herbs, but the reward was more than a hundred times greater.
The ninjas who hired the high-level Medical Ninjas all extended their goodwill. None of them were fools; they believed that a forced, one-time deal was less desirable than establishing a good relationship for future mutual benefit.
When a pair of eyes, the same color as banknotes, turned green in the crowd and watched this scene, his eyes widened. Especially when he saw the other person taking the money, he revealed a hint of regret, as if he regretted not learning this Medical Ninjutsu.
Sesshomaru, exuding an aristocratic air, looked at the easily obtained reward and had to admit that being a Medical Ninja was the most lucrative job. You didn't need to face the dangers of missions; you just needed to treat patients and collect money. Of course, the prerequisite was having the means to protect yourself or joining some kind of force.
"Sesshomaru, this is the most luxurious hotel we have, and these are backup dancers."
Inside the extremely luxurious and exquisite hotel, various treasures were displayed on a wooden table, while below were dancing girls and musicians playing music. It has to be said that power (money) brings benefits.
"Please enjoy your meal, sir."
After the hotel staff's envious expressions faded, Sesshomaru calmly enjoyed it all, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "It's truly satisfying to reap the benefits and enjoy them yourself," he thought.
He's an aristocrat, so he has to fit the persona. Even if he's down on his luck, he's still an aristocrat, and he can't lose his aristocratic air in his eating, drinking, living, and transportation.
In the bright room, which was filled with a faint fragrance, Sesshomaru picked up his chopsticks, and the nobility in his every move was so refined that it seemed as if he was born with this elegant demeanor.
The songstresses below, witnessing this scene, all showed expressions of admiration and envy. This was true nobility, this was true superiority. However, they remained mindful of their duties and, to the tune of the musicians, displayed their dance moves.
Unlike before, when it was out of duty and morality, this time, after encountering a suitable target, they all displayed their best dancing skills, hoping to be chosen by such a nobleman, even if it was just to be taken home as a pet, it would be better than being in this Land of Chaos.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the door. Suddenly, the wooden sliding door was rudely pushed open, and a small, green figure stumbled in in a panic, followed by a group of Rogue Ninja carrying Katana.
"Little girl, your sister owes us a huge sum of money and then ran away. You think you can run away too?!"
The savage Rogue Ninja spoke angrily, clearly the creditor had run away, and they could only vent their anger on people connected to the other party.
The girl, with blonde hair and dressed in light green, stumbled backward in a panic after falling to the ground. Her bright brown eyes had instantly imprinted the surrounding situation into her mind.
He was slightly startled. This was the brat Orochimaru had taken in? He certainly had an air of nobility. It was worth all the effort he had put into this whole thing, even though there was also the reason of avoiding gambling debts.
"No, I don't have a sister! I am!"
"Little girl, it's your fault for looking a bit like that fat sheep."
Before the little girl could finish speaking, one of the savage Rogue Ninjas rushed in and hurriedly pulled her away. The leader's expression immediately turned serious when he saw the person whose meal had been disturbed.
"This person seems to be the legendary Sesshomaru. He possesses superb swordsmanship and Medical Ninjutsu. Many Rogue Ninjas and mercenary Ninja legion have declared that they want to befriend him, and anyone who dares to offend him is considered to be going against them."
The subordinates whispered in their boss's ear, saying that in just half a month, Sesshomaru had already made a name for himself, after all, high-level Medical Ninjas were still in high demand.
The little girl, who had stumbled in in a panic, pitifully hid behind Sesshomaru. When her flustered hand touched the snow-white shawl, she exclaimed inwardly, "This brat is really rich."
"Hey, I heard you're really good at sword -Sword Drawing Techniques, and you're also skilled in Medical Ninjutsu?"
After hearing his subordinates' words, the leader Rogue Ninja, was already considering retreating. But he was the boss, and if he were to slink away like this, he would lose all face. So he came up with a plan.
The leader of the Rogue Ninja, with an arrogant demeanor, stepped forward and said directly to Sesshomaru, who remained sitting calmly and indifferently, "I want to witness your Sword Drawing Technique. Today's meal is on me."
As he said this, he patted his chest as if making a promise, then suddenly remembered something and rudely pointed at the girl hiding behind Sesshomaru, shouting, "This girl is quite beautiful, she'll be your slave."
It's obvious that this leader is shrewd beneath his rough exterior. He used a strategy of advancing by retreating, first saying he wanted to see his Sword Drawing Technique, which seemed like a provocation, but then he immediately added that he would provide meals and female slaves, clearly wanting to save face.
Food money? Female slave?
Upon hearing this, Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow and glanced at the five Rogue Ninja who had rushed in. Each of them had Katana at their waist. However, seeing their boastful words, he couldn't help but look at the food on the table that had been almost eaten, and the woman beside them.
Debt, easy prey, and the other person's appearance— Princess Tsunade! Although he had never met her before, and she hadn't even revealed a trace of her Chakra, he was still certain that she was Princess Tsunade.
The ultimate Chakra control ability can completely hide Chakra, so much so that even sensory ninjas cannot detect it, of course, this is in a non-combat state.
His confidence in confirming the other person's identity wasn't based on guesswork, but on a familiar aura.
In Orochimaru's Human Experimentation lab, the Wood Release Project wasn't just empty talk. Do you think Orochimaru wouldn't have Sannin Tsunade's blood?
As Senju Clan, Orochimaru had clearly studied whether Tsunade's cells could withstand the erosion of the First Hokage's cells. Although it was just a small amount of blood, he had memorized that distinct aura.
Today, this young girl came to his side. His powerful ninja senses had been amplified many times over. In particular, this Princess Tsunade, who was pretending to be young, had deliberately scratched her arm to make her disguise more convincing. The faint smell of blood directly activated a long-dormant memory in his mind.
"Hey! Hey!"
The leader of the Rogue Ninja clan, with his fierce and strong appearance, shouted calmly, but there was already a sense of being caught in a dilemma in his eyes. If the other party didn't say anything soon, he would really have no choice but to leave in a sorry state.
If you offend a powerful Medical Ninja, all he has to do is go outside and shout that if you kill the five of them, you can get a free treatment from him, and no one will come.
"Our boss!"
While one of the underlings was still excited about his boss's prowess, he couldn't help but pretend to be righteous and step forward to point and shout, but his voice stopped abruptly in an instant.
Inside the brightly lit room, a cold glint flashed as Sesshomaru, seated at the dining table, calmly picked up the teacup and sipped it with elegant grace.
Tsunade, disguised as a young girl, instinctively narrowed her eyes when she saw that glint of cold light earlier. This brat is no ordinary person!
"Lao Lao... big!"
As the sound faded, the collars of the five men's clothes suddenly ripped open, revealing a smooth gash, and at the same time, a thin trace of blood appeared on their chests.
The leader of the Rogue Ninja trembled as he touched his neck with his fingers. Seeing the tiny traces of blood on his fingertips, he swallowed nervously.
"Grown ups!"
Those who survived here all have their own special skills. For example, the five Rogue Ninjas in front of them immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
The Sword Drawing Technique —it wasn't one strike, but five; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to so easily slash open the collars of five people without killing them.
Sesshomaru calmly stood up. As footsteps approached, the five men hurriedly knelt down and retreated to both sides, with the leader bowing his head, perfectly expressing the posture of prostration.
"We have neglected you, sir! We deserve to die! We deserve to die!"
"Remember to pay the bill." As the footsteps faded into the distance, the five men, who had just breathed a sigh of relief with their heads bowed in remorse, were suddenly greeted by a cold voice, which immediately made them tense.
However, upon hearing that they were to pay the bill, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped a disaster Tsunade, who was disguised as a young girl and was lagging behind, exclaimed in alarm, "Wait for me!"
However, upon seeing the waiter in the hallway, he coldly stated, "Someone inside is paying the bill."
"Yes, sir." The waiter nodded politely in thanks, but Sesshomaru paused slightly as if he had just remembered something.
"Your restaurant suits my taste perfectly. I'll stick to tonight's standard, three meals a day for a month."
Upon hearing this, the waiter looked astonished, then hesitated and whispered, as if he hadn't misheard, "Sir, do you mean to book our restaurant for a month? And at tonight's rate?"
Faced with Sesshomaru's indifferent gaze, which seemed to imply that this was something that needed to be questioned, the waiter hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, saying, "I understand, sir."
He clearly seized the opportunity to fleece her, but Sesshomaru's indifferent and aloof gaze gave him an air of high-class nobility, making it impossible for anyone to feel any dislike towards him.
"Wait for me."
The young Tsunade feigned a pitiful look and hurriedly chased after the other person. She could see clearly that this brat was really ruthless, actually trying to eat her for a month.
Later, when the five Rogue Ninja who had survived the ordeal were paying the bill, their faces turned green and their eyes widened. After the waiter explained that their trembling hands had pulled out all the money they had saved, the five of them, as if exhausted, helped each other out of the house.
They survived the ordeal, but the subsequent financial losses left them heartbroken and devastated.
Read the text first. I'll check and revise it after I get up. I wrote too late last night and couldn't check it in time.
