Hot Spring Trip

Sasuke saw Hinata, then walked up to her and asked happily, "Hinata, why are you here?

"I remember you've never come to the Uchiha compound before."

Hinata blushed and said, "Uh, the genin from our class and the previous class are planning to travel to the Land of Springs together. Sasuke-kun, do you want to come too?"

Due to its unique geography, the Land of Springs had many hot springs and had become a popular tourist destination.

The Land of Springs also bordered the Land of Fire.

Small countries like the Land of Springs had neither daimyo nor Kage. They only had "leaders."

Sasuke said, "If Hinata is going, then of course I'm going."

Hinata nodded. "Okay!"

Land of Springs travel group: Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Kakashi, Sakura, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino, Kurenai Yuhi, Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru, Ino, Asuma, Tenten, Lee, Neji, Might Guy.

The Konoha Twelve and four instructors, sixteen people in total, traveled to the Land of Springs as a group.

After a tiring day of travel.

Land of Springs, inside the hot springs.

The male and female ninja bathed separately. On the men's side.

Shino Aburame hesitated to enter the water. Naruto lay by the edge and called to him, "Shino! Get in already."

Shino blushed. "I... I'd better not."

Catching him off guard, Naruto dragged Shino straight into the water.

The water around Shino immediately turned black.

Naruto scooped up a handful of water and said, "Why did the water turn black?"

Naruto took a closer look and saw countless black bugs swimming densely in the water!

Naruto:!!!

"Ahhh! Bugs!!!"

Naruto screamed and ran away. Shino looked guilty as he said, "Sorry, my bugs like water..."

"But don't worry. I'll do my best to keep them from spreading out."

Sasuke asked curiously, "Can you talk to your bugs?"

Shino said, "They can understand what I mean, and I can understand what they mean too."

Even when Kakashi submerged his head in the water, he refused to take off his mask. Might Guy quietly crept up behind him, then shoved Kakashi's head into the water!

Asuma leaned against the edge, smoking as he watched. "You two really don't act like special jonin at all!"

On the women's side, Tenten lay by the edge of the bath, drowsy, while Ino chatted with Sakura.

Ino said, "Sakura, did you know? There's a new student at the Ninja Academy who's super handsome!"

Sakura asked in return, "Is he as handsome as Sasuke-kun?"

Ino choked for a moment. "No."

At the mention of Sasuke, Sakura looked at Hinata. Hinata seemed unable to relax; even in the water, she was wrapped in a bathrobe.

Thinking Hinata was shy, Sakura said to her, "Hinata, don't be shy. When you come out to have fun, you should relax."

Hinata blushed, looking especially adorable.

Sakura went over and untied Hinata's bathrobe, then froze.

A pair of huge breasts nearly burst into view. Sakura looked down at her own flat chest.

What was going on? Hinata was only ten, so why was her figure so good?!

Why was I so flat-chested?!

Sakura's confidence took a heavy blow, and she became utterly dispirited.

Hinata hurriedly grabbed her bathrobe and wrapped herself up again.

Sakura's mood sank.

She had clearly been so happy just now, but now... she wasn't happy anymore...

Sasuke climbed out of the hot spring, intending to take a walk outside and get some fresh air.

After getting dressed, Sasuke walked through the streets of the Land of Springs. The Land of Springs was not very large, but ninja from all countries could be found there.

They seemed to have an unspoken agreement not to fight within the Land of Springs. The streets were lined entirely with hot spring inns.

If you encounter advertisements like "Are you a real person?", just ignore them and close them. Do not scan any codes or send text messages!

Then Sasuke spotted a casino.

Sasuke had never been to a casino before, so he decided to go in and take a look. Sure enough, the casino was bustling.

But Sasuke's gaze was drawn to a figure!

She had light blonde hair and wore a green haori with the character "Gamble" written on it.

Most importantly, Sasuke had never seen such huge breasts before!

She was one of the legendary Three Ninja of Konoha.

Of Konoha's Three Ninja back then, one had defected and become a rogue ninja, while another had gone traveling and wrote books everywhere.

And Tsunade had also traveled everywhere—while losing money!

Sasuke moved closer and saw Tsunade playing the most basic high-or-low game.

Tsunade bet on high and lost.

Refusing to accept it, Tsunade bet on high again and lost.

Still refusing to accept it, Tsunade continued betting on high—and lost again!

The dealer said to Tsunade, "Beautiful lady, you've run out of wagers!"

The people at the gambling table looked at Tsunade with lecherous eyes, but she seemed accustomed to it as she told the dealer, "Lend me one million ryo!"

The dealer said, "You can borrow money, but what do you have to put up as collateral?"

Tsunade instinctively looked for Shizune, only then remembering that she had mortgaged Shizune to the previous casino.

She had come here intending to win money and redeem Shizune.

But she had lost all her money again!

Tsunade looked around and spotted Sasuke.

Sasuke sensed ill intent in Tsunade's gaze. Sure enough.

After seeing Sasuke's Konoha forehead protector, Tsunade grabbed him and told the dealer, "Bet him!"

Then she leaned close to Sasuke's ear and whispered, "You're a Konoha ninja, right? So am I. Don't worry, I'll win money and redeem you. We'll split the winnings fifty-fifty!"

Sasuke: "..."

When had you ever won money?

When the dealer saw the Uchiha fan crest on Sasuke's back, he froze. "You're an Uchiha?"

Sasuke nodded. The dealer's expression changed dramatically as he told Tsunade, "I don't dare take him, and I don't want the money either. It's all yours! Take it all!"

Then the dealer truly abandoned even the chips and fled in panic.

Tsunade gathered all the chips together. There were thirteen million ryo in total.

Tsunade told Sasuke, "I'll count this as borrowing it from you. I'll pay you back someday!"

Tsunade casually picked up a sake flask from nearby and took a drink.

Then she placed one million in chips on the table.

"High!"

"High, high, high!"

Everyone else bet on low, for a total of two million in chips!

The dice came up: six, five, one...

Tsunade won!

Tsunade stared at the "High" on the table in disbelief!

She had won!

She had really won!

Excited, Tsunade hugged Sasuke, burying his head between her breasts as she shouted, "After gambling for so many years, I finally won once!!!"

Sasuke felt the smooth, soft sensation. No wonder she was number one in the ninja world—her reputation was well deserved...

But I can't breathe!!!
