Chapter 43: Target! Kumogakure! Third update!
"Damn it!"
Watching Otsutsuki Toneri and Otsutsuki Quxian fly away completely unimpeded, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes nearly bulged with rage.
Bastards!
But this was no time to dwell on that. He had to deal with this lava giant and that dog-shaped monster.
"They'll disappear when they run out of chakra, so we have to hold them here and keep them out of the busy districts!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi kept thinking as he dodged a punch from Ape Rock. Such terrifying strength.
If they were allowed to attack without restraint in the busy districts, the losses would be incalculable!
Besides, the enormous Ape Rock had already drawn the village's attention. After all, this thing was simply too big.
Meanwhile, after flying some distance away from Konoha, Otsutsuki Toneri and Otsutsuki Quxian landed.
Flight was one of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's basic abilities, or rather, it could be considered an application of Yin-Yang Release.
However, flying required chakra. Although the consumption was small, Otsutsuki Toneri was more accustomed to having his feet on solid ground.
"Young master, where are we going now?"
Otsutsuki Quxian asked Otsutsuki Toneri. Now that they had left Konoha, he should have his next target in mind.
After all, her young master was extremely meticulous and thorough. He should have already thought it through.
"To Kumogakure!"
At her question, a smile curled Otsutsuki Toneri's lips, and he settled on their next destination without hesitation.
Kumogakure!
Otsutsuki Toneri needed to collect tailed beast chakra now, so his targets were the tailed beasts.
Sunagakure only had the One-Tail, Shukaku, a weakling. There was no need to hurry with him.
Iwagakure had the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, Kirigakure had the Three-Tails and Six-Tails, and Kumogakure had the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails!
There was also the Seven-Tails in Takigakure.
Otsutsuki Toneri had his reasons for choosing Kumogakure. By the time he arrived there...
His Tenseigan would certainly have finished developing, and Kumogakure had the Fourth Raikage, along with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer B.
They would make excellent test subjects for his eyes!
After all, both of them were very powerful!
Iwagakure's Third Tsuchikage was also strong, but he honestly had no interest in experiencing Dust Release.
After all, he had the Rinnegan. Iwagakure's Ōnoki, who relied entirely on ninjutsu in battle, naturally held less appeal than the Fourth Raikage and Killer B.
Those two brothers should bring him quite a bit of enjoyment, shouldn't they?
At that thought, Otsutsuki Toneri couldn't help smiling.
"Kumogakure? Young master, if we're going to Kumogakure, I'm afraid we still have quite a journey ahead of us."
Otsutsuki Quxian took out a map and checked the route, then furrowed her delicate brows.
The Land of Lightning lay northeast of the Land of Fire. Reaching Kumogakure would indeed take several days of travel.
"It doesn't matter. Let's go. My eyes need time to develop, too!"
Otsutsuki Toneri smiled, then shook his head as he spoke. His Tenseigan would also need roughly a day or two to finish developing.
He could spare that much time. After all, there were still several years before the truly momentous era arrived.
The two then set off toward Kumogakure, not traveling particularly fast.
It wasn't until evening that they prepared to rest in a small town. Just as Otsutsuki Toneri and his companion were about to book a room at an inn...
A delicate-looking, black-haired woman rushed in through the entrance.
Then...
"Lady Tsunade! Those people are coming! Hurry and hide!"
The black-haired woman raced straight up to the inn's second floor, calling loudly upstairs as she went, her voice full of urgency.
Clearly, the girl was extremely nervous at that moment...
At her voice, Otsutsuki Toneri turned his head toward the upper floor. Lady Tsunade? Tsunade?
What a coincidence...
Then the one who just called out must have been Shizune, the woman who always stayed by Tsunade's side.
After booking the room, Otsutsuki Toneri and Otsutsuki Shizune went upstairs. As soon as they reached the second floor...
Through his Rinnegan, Otsutsuki Toneri saw Tsunade, a mature blonde woman wearing a long green robe, standing in the corridor and looking around.
At that moment, several civilian men also entered downstairs. They looked around, and when they found no one, they charged upstairs.
"Ugh! Damn it, how did they get here so fast? I haven't even had time to run!"
Tsunade spotted that man too and muttered anxiously under her breath. Those were all her creditors...
Yes, her creditors. She loved gambling, but her luck had never been good.
Her losing every bet wasn't just a saying. As a result, she had racked up a mountain of debt, and being chased by creditors was a regular occurrence.
But this time, they had arrived far too quickly. She hadn't even started running yet.
Otsutsuki Toneri listened to Tsunade's muttering with amusement, then shook his head and prepared to enter his room.
Although Tsunade was one of the legendary Sannin and naturally had nothing to fear from those ordinary civilian men, repaying one's debts was only right.
That was why Tsunade never used violence against these ordinary civilians. She would only put off paying her gambling debts for a while; she would definitely repay them.
After all, she loved gambling, yet never won. It really was awkward...
(Please show your support!)
Chapter 44: Big brother~ Fourth update!
But none of this had anything to do with Otsutsuki Toneri. After all, he wasn't the one being chased over gambling debts. As for Tsunade...
Although he was indeed very interested in this legendary busty cow... ahem, big fat sheep, now wasn't the right time.
He certainly wouldn't pay her gambling debts to win her favor. After all, he didn't have much money himself.
He and Otsutsuki Quxian had only just come down from the moon. Even their mainland currency had been stolen from bandits along the way.
Where would he get spare money to pay Tsunade's gambling debts?
"Huh? Kids?" Tsunade turned, intending to hide in her room first, when she suddenly spotted Otsutsuki Toneri and his companion. Her eyes immediately lit up.
With a pop.
Transformation Technique!
An exquisite, delectable little blonde girl appeared at once. Sensing this, Otsutsuki Toneri couldn't help twitching the corner of his eye.
This woman really had no shame!
She would even throw away her dignity like this to dodge her debts?
However, Otsutsuki Toneri was no longer in a hurry to enter his room. He watched with interest to see how Tsunade would deal with these debt collectors.
By then, the creditors had already charged in. They had found out Tsunade's whereabouts before coming.
But seeing the wide-open door to Tsunade's room, they immediately frowned.
"Damn it! That fat sheep got away! Hey, little girl, did you see where the woman in this room went?"
The burly man leading them cursed resentfully, then turned his gaze toward the little-girl Tsunade beside them and asked.
They were only ordinary people, so naturally, they couldn't see through Tsunade's Transformation Technique.
"The big sister in this room? Nope~ I don't think I've seen her since this afternoon." Little-girl Tsunade blinked her big, innocent eyes and spoke cutely with a finger in her mouth.
Her voice was extremely sweet and pleasant, leaving both Otsutsuki Toneri and Otsutsuki Quxian with rather strange expressions.
They had personally watched Tsunade change from a voluptuous, mature woman into her current form.
A mature woman... was acting this cute really all right?
"Tch~ What about you two? Have you seen the woman in this room?" The burly man's frown deepened before he turned his gaze toward Otsutsuki Toneri and his companion.
Although he knew there wasn't much hope, he really couldn't accept it.
That fat sheep had escaped again. Heaven knew how long he would have to wait to get her gambling debt back.
Otsutsuki Toneri paused at the question, then smiled and turned his head toward Tsunade.
Tsunade blinked, abruptly struck by a bad feeling, and instantly darted to Otsutsuki Toneri's side like the wind.
"Big brother~ I wanna see your toys! Let's go inside first~" Tsunade called affectionately. Then, without waiting for Otsutsuki Toneri to speak, she pulled both of them into the room and shut the door.
The burly man and the others exchanged looks, but suspected nothing else. They could only leave, angry and unwilling.
"Phew~" After standing on tiptoe and watching them leave, little-girl Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her flat chest.
Then, with a pop, she returned to her original appearance.
"Who would have thought that the great Princess Tsunade, one of the Sannin, would be afraid of a few mere gamblers?" Sitting on a stool, Otsutsuki Toneri tilted his head and teased Tsunade.
Really, this scene was something else. Tsunade could be considered quite a domineering woman.
Yet a few civilian gamblers had forced her to turn into a little girl and act cute...
"Huh? You don't get it. I owe them money, after all. Wait, you know me?" Tsunade waved a hand reflexively as she answered, only realizing halfway through that something was wrong.
She raised her head to look at the boy. He had just called her one of the legendary Sannin. Although she was very famous in gambling circles...
