Fishing

A ray of morning sunlight streamed in, revealing traces of disarray in the tidy room.

For example, the marks on the surrounding walls were clearly from ninja swords, Kunai, and Shuriken. The smell of blood in the room was quickly blown away after the window was opened.

"Sesshomaru... it's all ready."

Disguised as a young girl, Tsunade clutched her injured arm, her face deathly pale, her expression still faintly revealing the panic of the previous night. At this moment, she seemed to be frightened by something, her eyes constantly darting away.

Meanwhile, Sesshomaru, dressed neatly, sat upright in the room, coldly gazing at the girl before him, his expression one of utter indifference and distrust.

However, upon seeing the wound on the girl's shoulder, it became clear that one of Tsunade's arms was injured. The pain from the wound caused her to break out in a cold sweat, but the fear in her eyes prevented her from making a sound.

Upon witnessing this scene, Sesshomaru (Uchiha Yoru) thought to himself, "What a wonderful Princess Tsunade! As expected of a ninja who has been famous for many years, she has perfectly portrayed an ordinary person."

During last night's attack and fight, he coldly ignored his opponent, who was clearly lucky, but still managed to injure his shoulder, just like any other normal person, without any attempt to dodge.

Last night, Tsunade disguised herself very well. If it were anyone else, the doubts would have been dispelled. Unfortunately for her, she encountered Uchiha Yoru.

Meanwhile, Tsunade, who was also pretending to be a panicked girl, was secretly sneering to herself, "You little brat, not only are you ruthless, but you're also so meticulous, trying to test me at the same time."

Both of them were acting. Now, the young Tsunade was confident that her experience last night would at least dispel the other party's suspicion that she was a ninja.

"Drag these two people to the door and let the hotel staff clean them up. Meanwhile, keep everything as usual and don't reveal a single word."

Beneath the cold voice lay a hint of weakness, a sight that made Tsunade sneer inwardly. "You brat," she thought, "Still testing me at a time like this."

He knew perfectly well how potent the medicine was, given that she had personally administered it. Furthermore, as a Medical Ninja, he was acutely aware of the brat's injuries sustained in last night's battle.

This brat still has the strength to First Shinobi War, but he's deliberately pretending to be so weak.

It was obvious they were trying to lure her in.

"Sesshomaru, are you alright?"

The young Tsunade feigned concern and fear, and there wasn't a single flaw in her act. If Sesshomaru (Uchiha Yoru) hadn't known her identity, he probably would have fallen for her trick.

Faced with the girl's concern, he simply swept a cold glance at her, which immediately startled Tsunade to shrink back and take two steps back.

The young Tsunade frantically supported the two corpses leaning against the corner of the wall. Because of her injured arm, she could only struggle, her face flushed, as she endured the pain in her arm.

Thump~

After finishing all this, the panting girl Tsunade was breathing heavily, her face even paler, and she was sweating profusely from the pain.

A fine layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. The girl looked pained but dared not show it, and could only curl up in the corner like a wounded and frightened little wildcat.

"Come over."

Sesshomaru, who was secretly observing all of this, sneered inwardly. Since they wanted to play games, let's see who has the better skills. He coldly opened his mouth and said.

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes immediately filled with panic. She wanted to run away, but her eyes also showed hesitation, as if she felt some concern after seeing the injured Sesshomaru.

It must be said that the girl portrayed a wide range of emotions, including concern, fear, and panic, to the fullest extent.

Dragging along two adult corpses, coupled with a night of terror and the injury to her arm, had left the young girl somewhat weak.

Her legs trembled weakly as she moved stealthily, and her eyes held a timid look; she was clearly an ordinary yet kind-hearted girl.

She didn't take the opportunity to run away just now, so does this brat still suspect her?

"Don't move."

Just as the young Tsunade was on guard, Sesshomaru (Uchiha Yoru) calmly and slowly took out a roll of medical bandage from his Tool Pouch.

"Advanced medical bandages, antibacterial, accelerate cell repair, take off your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression betrayed no hint of her true feelings. Instead, she timidly removed her clothes from her arms, revealing the wounds on her smooth arms.

The touch of the cold fingers caused the girl's sensitive skin to instantly turn red and break out in goosebumps.

Skilled fingers wrapped bandages around the girl's shoulder. Just watching this art of bandaging, Tsunade thought to herself that this kid was extremely skilled at bandaging, and it seemed that he had bandaged many others, including himself.

"I added some crushed Ration Pill to your wound to speed up the healing process. Since the bone wasn't damaged, your injury should be healed in about two weeks at most."

With skillful hands, the bandage was wrapped around the shoulder in a short time, ensuring that the arm joint could move without any restriction.

A cold voice echoed in her ears, and a kind smile appeared on the girl's timid face. "Thank you, sir."

Everything seemed calm and unchanged, yet Sesshomaru, sitting upright and leaning against the wall, was visibly weak, his body numb, which was giving him a real headache.

It was like my body had gone numb from sleeping so much, and it was complete numbness throughout my body. This drug is really potent; it seems he still has a long way to go in terms of developing an immune system toxins.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice answered.

"Sir, your meal has arrived."

Upon seeing this, the young Tsunade immediately gave a knowing smile and turned to walk towards the door.

Behind the girl, Sesshomaru (Uchiha Yoru) revealed a cold glint in his eyes. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he subtly licked the blood that had been left under his fingernails while wiping the corner of his mouth with a towel.

The sensation from the bud on his tongue, this vibrant blood, confirmed once again that the other person was definitely Sannin, one of the Princess Tsunade.

As the door slammed shut again, food was seen piled high on the table inside, and the servant who brought the food had his head bowed as he entered.

In this chaotic town, dead bodies were commonplace, so they were used to such frequent occurrences. In fact, to avoid trouble, they were very cautious, and the servant hadn't raised his head since entering the house.

Only after the food was finally laid out did the servant respectfully bow his head and slowly retreat, closing the door behind him.

When the strangers entered, Sesshomaru pretended to be nonchalant. As they left, he could clearly hear someone collecting corpses at the door. Only after all the noise stopped did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Weak and listless, he leaned against the screen and calmly looked at the girl, saying, "You feed me."

There was no command in his tone; it was as if it were simply the proper thing to do.

Tsunade subtly noticed the slight trembling in his fingers, and a smile immediately spread across her face; she knew all too well what that felt like.

With her whole body numb and her fingers tingling, she couldn't even hold chopsticks properly. She knew very well the pride of the Uchiha and knew they would never show such an ugly side in front of outsiders.

But you can't just eat with your mouth without using your hands.

"Grown ups."

Tsunade, a young woman in her Tsunade, slowly stepped forward. Her arm was also injured, but fortunately her right hand was fine. With her slender, jade-like hands, she held chopsticks and fed the other person bite by bite.

The posture seemed somewhat ambiguous, but both of them were secretly plotting something.

Tsunade was secretly pleased with herself, thinking to herself, "Kid, the potion I've given you is strong enough to keep you entertained for a few days."

Beneath Sesshomaru's (Uchiha Yoru's ) indifferent expression, a fierce thought raged within him, "You Tsunade, I haven't even come looking for trouble with you yet, and you've already schemed against me."

Alright! This time he's really taking it seriously; after dealing with those two ninjas last night, he already had a general idea in mind.

The Princess Tsunade, you provoked me first!

In this way, the two seemed to have established a trust, but in reality, they each had their own calculations.

He remained calmly in the hotel for several days without going out, and the numbness in his body only fueled his inner rage.

On the fifth day Kakuzu returned, weary from his journey.

His emerald green eyes seemed to radiate malice, but that was Kakuzu.

They sat down facing each other, Kakuzu glanced at his employer without leaving a trace. With his experience, he instantly discovered the problem.

"Are you injured?"

Kakuzu's words were laced with rage. In his eyes, this was his employer, his boss. If his employer suddenly died, who would give him the rest of his money? Damn it, how dare anyone touch my money box? It was as if they had touched his sore spot.

Faced with Kakuzu's unusual concern, Sesshomaru's eye twitched; this kind of concern was indeed quite peculiar.

"A master of poison; it took me three days to recover."

This seemed to touch a sore spot, considering he claimed to be a high-level Medical Ninja, yet he himself fell victim to it.

Sesshomaru's expression was rather unpleasant, but he still took out a glass test tube from his robes and tossed it directly to Kakuzu.

"This is a toxin I extracted from blood. It's not fatal, but it can suppress Chakra accumulation and paralyze the entire body."

Sesshomaru must play his role well. Right now, he is a Rogue Ninja, or even Rogue Ninja, without any backing. Therefore, although the poison has been mostly cleared from him, Kakuzu his employer.

Since the Kakuzu protecting him, his telling him about the poison was naturally for his own benefit.

More importantly, there's Kakuzu's reputation in the Black Market over the years.

"This is an antidote I concocted. Although it can't completely neutralize the poison, it can still suppress half of its effects."

Then came another green test tube. Looking at the poison and antidote in his hand, Kakuzu frowned. "You were poisoned without even realizing it."

As he said this, Kakuzu glanced at the little girl beside him without leaving a trace, as if to ask if it was one of their own who had poisoned her.

For the past three days, the young Tsunade has been going out to buy medicinal herbs every day, while also taking care of Sesshomaru. In just three days, her face has already shown signs of fatigue.

Under Kakuzu's gaze, she immediately lowered her head in fright. Although her expression was not visible, her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed that she was shaking with fear.

"It wasn't her."

Sesshomaru coldly rejected Kakuzu's suspicions, saying, "She's there for me even when I'm at my weakest."

In short, the girl stayed by his side during his weakest period.

Kakuzu witnessing this scene, Kakuzu frowned and shook his head, saying, "When you assign me to a mission, you expect your employer to take care of your own safety. Even if you can't, please pay me my fee before you go to your death."

Hearing Kakuzu's words, Sesshomaru's eyes twitched, and finally he couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "From now on, I need you to spread the word that my ancestral sword, Sesshomaru, is willing to be compared with the legendary weapon of the God of Chunin. If anyone in the shadows is willing, I am willing to offer a reward of ten million."

Ten million is definitely a huge sum of money, and this is just for a competition, a competition in the name of a family's famous sword, which is similar to the spirit of Samurai.

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu's eyes widened in disbelief. He regretted not having collected more famous swords, thinking he could have sold them for a good price to this wealthy man.

"Alright, I will release the information as you instructed, but I also hope that you, my employer, will control your own mind. The First Hokage's weapon was clearly taken out by someone to create chaos, and Konoha has already taken notice."

The Kakuzu of today is not the same as the Akatsuki's North Star in later generations. After all, the Akatsuki Organization's goal was to fight against the entire Shinobi World, which is why the later Kakuzu was so unscrupulous.

It was the Akatsuki Organization that gave him this confidence. After all, the existence of the Rinnegan is terrifying, and although Kakuzu is powerful, he wouldn't go looking for death.

Being targeted by Konoha? He'll face endless pursuit, Anbu and Root will force him to flee across the Shinobi World like a rat in the street, possibly even facing encirclement and suppression by some.

Kakuzu has not yet joined Akatsuki Organization, and the exact time when he will join is uncertain.

(There are too many plot Kakuzu in Hokage. According to the information I found, Kakuzu was in Akatsuki Organization for eight years, but he died Kakuzu Shippuden.)

Kakuzu survive in the Shinobi World for so many years not only because of his immense strength, but also because of his cautious personality. In particular, he has managed to keep very little information from leaking out over the years.

"Don't worry, what I want is to restore the family's glory, not to invite trouble."

Sesshomaru spoke calmly. Although the character he was playing was powerful, he had not yet reached the point of ignoring the major ninja villages in the Shinobi World. Caution was essential for his survival.

After discussing it, the two decided that Sesshomaru needed to lure out the person hiding in the shadows first. As for the issue of stealing the First Hokage's weapon, he didn't have the strength to do it alone, so he naturally needed Shin'nosuke Sarutobi.

Of course, the specific circumstances will depend on the actual situation.

Thanks to brother 'Ning Chenfeng' for the 100 coins reward.
