Tsunade, Go Steal the Book of Seals

As the saying went, while one flower bloomed, another branch told its own tale.

On Toji's side, he had also begun making moves to obtain the Book of Seals.

The Impure World Reincarnation research materials in the Book of Seals had long since become outdated to him. But from what he knew, aside from Impure World Reincarnation, the book contained many practical and interesting techniques.

Moreover, this was an opportunity to "frame" Tobirama.

Even someone as rule-abiding as him had begun making mistakes just to obtain the Book of Seals. Who had turned him into this?

There was no need for deliberate guidance. Mito would naturally connect this matter to Tobirama.

How could Toji, a paragon of virtue, possibly be in the wrong? It had to be Tobirama's fault!

To achieve this, Toji did not approach Mito according to plan right away. Instead, he went to find Tsunade first.

Toji caught Tsunade at a dice parlor.

Her whereabouts were not difficult to track. With a single order to the Anbu, her location would immediately be delivered to him.

Even without the Anbu, it would have been easy to guess.

It was rather astounding that Tsunade was a born gambler.

When Hashirama died, Tsunade witnessed the entire thing. Yet she had not been traumatized by it or given up her gambling addiction. Within just a few days, she had adjusted herself and returned to her usual life.

Toji dragged Tsunade into a small teahouse nearby.

"Grandmaster, why are you here?"

Tsunade lacked the proper respect one should have for an elder when it came to Toji.

If another elder had caught her gambling in a dice parlor, she would probably have been afraid.

But since it was Toji, she did not care in the slightest and remained as carefree as ever.
