An Exchange Between Works of Art.

Although confused and very curious about what this movie was all about, as it began to play, Shizune and Tsunade quieted down, watching the screen with curiosity.

The story began in Konoha...

Since the Sannin had already become famous throughout the Ninja World after the Second Shinobi World War, to align with the actual situation of the Ninja World and the identities of the Sannin, and also based on Jiraiya's suggestion, Kusana could only extensively modify the script.

Of course.

Those familiar scenes and those familiar three small figures immediately captured Tsunade and Shizune's attention.

One's eyes held curiosity, the other's held memories.

Tsunade seemed to recall those innocent days in Konoha from long ago.

Although she was also very sad because her great-grandfather and second great-grandfather had passed away, with Grandma Mito and Nawaki around, she quickly became strong and moved on, and even met two companions...

Those were very happy days.

Watching the three small figures on the screen training hard under the old man's guidance, she couldn't help but smile.

However.

After a while.

"What kind of trash movie is this? What trash!" Tsunade stood up angrily. "That idiot Jiraiya! He's an idiot! A big idiot! An idiot who took a long time to learn even how to throw a kunai, how is he a genius? More importantly..."

She angrily pointed at the character on the screen who looked a bit like her.

"Is that me? Is that me? When did I ever lick that idiot!"

"Lady Tsunade, Lady Tsunade." Shizune beside her was startled by Tsunade suddenly standing up, and she carefully tugged at Tsunade, saying softly, "Calm down! Lady Tsunade, calm down! We need to be quiet here, everyone is watching!"

If this continues, it will expose Lady Tsunade's identity.

After she spoke.

"This is infuriating! If that idiot were here, I'd beat him to death!" Tsunade grumbled resentfully, then sat back down, no longer making a fuss, and continued to watch the screen, sneering, "If I wanted to kiss, that perverted toad would have already been licking his face to get close."

"Yes, yes! After all, Lady Tsunade is so beautiful! Jiraiya-sama really shouldn't have filmed Lady Tsunade like this."

Shizune quickly agreed, comforting Lady Tsunade, and then quickly continued watching the big screen.

Compared to Tsunade, who was watching with great anger, she was watching with great enjoyment.

In this era of scarce entertainment and simplicity, a movie with a plot, romance, and humor like this was quite appealing.

Although the plot was somewhat inconsistent with reality, it couldn't stop little Shizune's inner desire to spectate and binge-watch.

She thought it was really good!

What's more...

If Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama could really end up together... that wouldn't be bad either. She believed Uncle Dan wouldn't want to see Lady Tsunade continue to fall into such a state.

Even Tsunade herself... besides being angry about certain plot points, was actually quite curious about what would happen next.

The plot continued to unfold...

Finally, due to the war, the three were forced to go their separate ways and embark on their own journeys.

Until one day... because of love, Tsunade, with Orochimaru, began a journey to find Jiraiya, arriving in the Land of Grass.

Tsunade's face turned green, and the bracer on her right was crushed by her single hand, scaring the surrounding audience who were also watching the movie.

This woman...

She's so fierce!

But this time, Tsunade didn't stand up. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "I would go find that idiot? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Time passed little by little.

Finally.

The journey gradually unfolded, and they repeatedly recalled the bits and pieces of their ninja training days.

And at the end...

Jiraiya let go of his inner obsession and also found his love!

The kiss finally fell.

This was Jiraiya's plea for Kusana to modify it. Perhaps he knew that Tsunade couldn't beat him up in the Land of Grass!

That's why he pushed his luck so much to take advantage!

However.

As the final scene of the movie faded...

Inside the cinema...

Upon seeing the ending, Tsunade's face turned black with anger as she stood up, waving her hand.

"Smash this place for me! What kind of trash movie is this!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! We'll compensate! We'll compensate!"

"Young lady, why are you so angry watching this comedy? You even trashed the viewing hall? Look! This bill is quite substantial! Hmm, your teacher looks a bit familiar!"

"This is our compensation, I'm so sorry! Truly sorry!"

After hearing the person in charge, Shizune paid the damages and quickly pulled Tsunade, who was still fuming, away.

After all… they weren't Konoha ninja anymore, and Lady Tsunade had been hiding her whereabouts precisely to avoid being discovered by Konoha.

So, while they hadn't been noticed, it was best to leave quickly.

After they had run a good distance, Shizune looked at Lady Tsunade and complained, "Honestly! Lady Tsunade, how could you break other people's things? We had to pay a huge sum! More than you lose in a day at the gambling hall."

It would have been better to just let Lady Tsunade go to the gambling hall then!

"Those guys were just trying to rip me off! And they had the nerve to ask for the moon. Why did you drag me away? I told you, we should have just smashed everything!" Tsunade said with clear displeasure, "How dare they slander me?!"

"Well, Lady Tsunade was in the wrong first~, and besides…" Shizune paused, "After my investigation just now, they also said that Jiraiya-sama had indeed permitted the filming and signed a contract. If they refused, they would have to pay a large sum of money. I heard…"

She hesitated.

"Jiraiya-sama seems to have run into a lot of trouble in the Land of Grass and owes a lot of money, which is why he had to do this."

"That idiot… he didn't get caught for freeloading, did he!" Upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade was slightly taken aback, then pouted and waved her hand dismissively, "Serves him right! Whatever, I'll settle with him later. For now… I'm going to gamble a few rounds to blow off some steam."

"Huh? Gambling again! Didn't you say you wouldn't gamble today? Besides, Lady Tsunade, that's not blowing off steam; constantly losing will only make you more depressed."

"I'm happy to lose! What about it?" Tsunade said with the air of a domineering rich woman, "Money makes me willful!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

"Come and see, come and see! Kusa Kusa Blind Box! Tense and exciting! Gives you a different feeling."

"Officially licensed! All the heroes from the villages are inside! You can even draw classic hidden editions~!"

"The Daimyo of the neighboring Land of Grass accidentally unlocked a classic diamond hidden edition, and now he doesn't have to eat grass anymore, living a happy life ever since."

"???"

Tsunade froze, stopped in her tracks, and curiously glanced at a place not far away where many people were also gathered.

What was this?

Was it another movie theater?

It was so lively?!

However.

She didn't know… due to the promotion, at least nine out of ten people there were plants.

Stirring up hype.

But seeing so many people, Tsunade still walked over out of curiosity.

"Lady Tsunade."

Shizune had no choice but to quickly follow, her eyes also filled with the same curiosity.

Kusa Kusa Blind Box?

What was that?

However, after understanding what it was, and then looking at Lady Tsunade's eager expression, she immediately drooped her face and muttered, "Isn't this just gambling again?"

As soon as she finished speaking.

As if hearing something, the boss immediately became displeased and directly picked up a box, "Little lady, what are you talking about? Gambling? How is this gambling? We are conducting legitimate business. You buy, I sell, it's a matter of mutual consent. You know, inside are cute figurines, and you can even get a figurine of Hashirama Senju grabbing the Nine-Tails with one hand. If you get something, how can it be gambling? Can you get such beautiful dolls from gambling losses?"

"But one doll is a hundred Ryo… that's too expensive!"

"This is different!" The boss shook his head with a serious expression, holding up his blind box, "Our dolls are meticulously crafted by eight master clay sculptors from the Land of Earth. Countless thoughts and efforts have gone into every detail. They are master-level works, works of art! Kusa Kusa Blind Box Masterpieces! And our boxes are designed by professional Sealing Jutsu Jonin. Even ninjas can't tell what's inside! They also have collection value. If you get a hidden edition, you'll make a huge profit!"

Saying this, he sighed with emotion, "Life is like a Kusa Kusa Blind Box, you never know what the next second will bring!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Well said! Boss, give me a hundred!"

Shizune, who had been completely mesmerized by the boss's nonsensical sales pitch, snapped back to reality upon hearing Lady Tsunade's words and anxiously said, "Lady Tsunade~, one doll is a hundred Ryo…"

Before she could finish.

"Don't worry! I have money!" Tsunade confidently patted her chest, "A hundred Ryo each, it's no big deal! This kind of new gambling… looks quite interesting."

"Uh, this… this isn't gambling," the boss said weakly, "It's an exchange of artistic works!"

"You think this little trick can fool me? Stop the nonsense and hurry up! Give me a hundred first!"

"…Alright!"

Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Shizune could only sigh helplessly and obediently took out her money.

Oh well.

A hundred Ryo each… it's less than what she'd lose gambling!
