Huazi! It's Fine, I'm Just Strolling!

Wu Di chuckled softly.

"Lord Tsunade, it's like this..."

He leaned close to Tsunade's ear and quietly explained the function of the glasses.

Tsunade's cheeks grew hotter.

She turned around in a rage.

"Jiraiya—!"

A loud greeting, and a fist filled with passion came crashing down.

Jiraiya had nowhere to retreat. He gave a wry smile and could only use his thick cheek to take the beating.

Across the street, at Ichiraku Ramen. The broth for ramen was simmering on the stove.

Jiraiya sat inside, dazed and enjoying himself.

A moment later, he felt an extra sharp pain in his rear and sprang out of the pot with a jolt.

Back in the middle of the street, looking at the passersby, Jiraiya's nosebleed couldn't be stopped any longer, gushing out like a mountain flood.

He pulled out an unopened pack of tissues from his pocket and kept stuffing them into his nose.

But with the amount he was bleeding, there was no way they could stop it.

As soon as he stuffed one in, another would be blown out due to the blood pressure.

After a few rounds, he felt a bit dizzy and turned back to the entrance of the scratch-off ticket shop, sitting on the steps and shaking his head.

Inside the small shop.

With Jiraiya's disruption, Tsunade lost the mood to play and left with Shizune.

When they reached the entrance and saw Jiraiya sitting on the ground, she couldn't help but give him another kick. A fiery red shoe print was imprinted on Jiraiya's face.

Just then, Asuma and Yūhi Kurenai also arrived.

Seeing Tsunade in a rampage, they both shivered and went around her, entering the small shop.

Naruto, seeing that it was Asuma, was a little curious and wanted to see what good stuff he could scratch off this time.

"Boss, give me two ten-thousand Ryo scratch-off tickets!" he said softly.

Then, he and Yūhi Kurenai each took one and started scratching.

A moment later, Asuma's ticket flashed with golden light, and a square red box flew out from the ticket.

Yūhi Kurenai turned her head, looking at him with a hint of jealousy.

"It's fine if one item comes out of two scratch-off tickets. It's better than nothing!"

Seeing her expression, Asuma quickly tried to console her.

Then, he turned and asked, "Boss, why does this box look so much like a cigarette pack?"

Wu Di nodded, "That's right. It is a cigarette."

"This is a cigarette from my hometown, called Huazi!"

"To smoke this kind of cigarette, you must say a spell to truly bring out its nobility."

"A spell? Do you need a spell to smoke now?" Asuma asked, his eyes wide.

Wu Di smiled faintly, "Yes, remember, the spell is: 'It's fine, I'm just strolling!'"

"'It's fine, I'm just strolling...'"

Asuma muttered softly, then took out a cigarette from the pack and placed it between his lips. With the crisp sound of a lighter, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the tip of the cigarette.

"'It's fine, I'm just strolling!'" he said tentatively.

Instantly, the faint smoke enveloped him.

The rich aroma of the smoke emanated from every pore.

Among the people scratching tickets there, there were naturally other smokers.

Upon smelling the aroma, they suddenly realized that the cigarettes they were smoking seemed to have completely lost their flavor.

They stared at Asuma like hungry wolves.

"Sell me one, just one, let me taste the joy of strolling!"

"Yeah, sell us one!"

"I'll give you a thousand Ryo for one!"

"I'll give you three thousand Ryo!"

The surrounding voices rose and fell.

Asuma chuckled proudly and put the cigarette back in his pocket.

Why should such a wonderful thing be shared with others!

Naruto shrugged lightly. Since the excitement was over, it was time to leave.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw the perverted hermit still sitting by the door.

In front of him was a pile of crumpled paper the size of a small hill, stained with nosebleeds.

Looking at his current complexion, he was as pale as paper!

"Hey, kid, this place you recommended to me is great!"

Jiraiya weakly raised his hand.

Turning his head, he had a high-heeled shoe print on the other side of his face!

Naruto immediately shivered, thinking to himself, I didn't expect Grandma Tsunade to be so violent! I must never provoke her again!

"Naruto... To show my gratitude, I've decided to teach you a ninjutsu."

"What do you want to learn?"

Naruto frowned, "Teach me ninjutsu?"

He sized up Jiraiya from head to toe, weighing his options.

He's a bit of a pervert, but why do I always feel like he's very powerful? Naruto asked himself.

He thought carefully about the elimination rounds, and a glint of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Um... do you know Summoning Jutsu?"

He rubbed his hands together, looking at Jiraiya excitedly.

During the match, he saw Shino summon slugs, which were incredibly powerful.

If he knew Summoning Jutsu, he would definitely blow everyone's minds in the finals.

Jiraiya chuckled softly, "Summoning Jutsu? What's so difficult about that? Come on, I'll teach you Summoning Jutsu!"

He shakily stood up, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

After they left, Asuma and Kurenai also came out.

Being surrounded by so many smokers in the shop, like stars surrounding the moon, Asuma was already feeling a bit too pleased with himself.

Finally, at everyone's repeated suggestion, he sold five Huazi.

Each one sold for a high price of eight thousand Ryo.

However, as they were coming out the door, they ran right into the Third Hokage.

Asuma instinctively covered his pocket.

The Third Hokage chuckled kindly, "Asuma, what are you covering?"

"Nothing... nothing!"

He was terrified now. If the Third Hokage found out he had Huazi, how could he possibly keep it?

But as fate would have it, he ran into a group of useless teammates.

From inside the small shop, sounds of enjoyment continued to ring out.

"It's fine! I'm just strolling!"

The Third Hokage peeked inside and saw a Jonin from Sunagakure slowly walking out.

His expression tightened when he saw the Third Hokage.

"What were you muttering about just now? 'It's fine, I'm just strolling'?" the Third Hokage asked him quietly.

The Jonin from Sunagakure chuckled, pulled out the half-smoked cigarette butt he had just extinguished, and said:

"You don't know about this, Third Hokage? It's Huazi! Asuma just scratched it off!"

"When you smoke it, just shout: 'It's fine, I'm just strolling!' The effect is simply heavenly!"

The Third Hokage's face immediately fell. He turned to Asuma and asked, "Is that true?"

Asuma swallowed and nodded silently.

The Third Hokage snorted and directly held out his palm, "You little brat, you forgot about me when you got something good?"

Asuma looked conflicted and reluctantly took out the Huazi, pulling out one cigarette.

The Third Hokage coughed, and his gaze suddenly became incredibly sharp.

He immediately shivered and pulled out two more cigarettes.

The Third Hokage sighed helplessly, "You child, why are you so thoughtless?"

"Five Elements: Great Breakthrough Technique!"
