Senior Sister, I Have a Bold Idea

"Huh? What did you say?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

"Ahem, I meant you have a keen eye for talent. With such ability at such a young age, you're bound to have a bright future!"

Thinking of the huge sum of money that Yue Zhen was extorted from...

Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a bit of a toothache.

So young, yet so capable of ripping people off.

It looks like they have a bright future ahead of them.

Chapter 92 Senior Sister, I Have a Bold Idea [Fifth Update]

The sun is setting.

It was completely dark by then.

She asked the hotel owner to hire an older woman of similar age to herself to accompany her.

Rikuto and his companions ignored Jiraiya, who was questioning his existence, and went straight down to the private room to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

"You brat, when did you learn Senjutsu?"

Inside the private room.

Tsunade's expression turned cold.

Squinting, he scrutinized Rikuto: "You mastered Sage Mode without a teacher at the age of eight? You kept it from me for so long!"

She was so angry she wanted to bite him.

He stepped forward and was about to grab Rikuto's ear. "Do you know how violent Natural Energy is? If you're not careful, you could be crippled even if you don't die!"

"Don't be angry, Sister Tsunade. This was learned shortly before you and Senior Sister Shizune returned to the village..."

Dodging the watchful Tsunade, Rikuto explained, "Because of Wood Release, I sensed the existence of Natural Energy very early on. So, after making ample preparations, I tried to have my Shadow Clone absorb Natural Energy into their bodies, combining it with my spiritual and physical energy. Unexpectedly, I accidentally extracted Senjutsu Chakra, and naturally mastered Senjutsu!"

"At first, I didn't know this was Senjutsu!"

"It was only after I looked at the relevant materials collected by the Uchiha Clan, and the Wood Release scroll left by the First Hokage that you gave me, that I confirmed that it should be Senjutsu Chakra!"

He shrugged somewhat helplessly, half-jokingly saying...

"Hmph, why didn't you say so earlier..."

Tsunade rolled her eyes but didn't pursue the matter further.

She had originally planned to send Rikuto to the Shikkotsu Forest to learn Senjutsu in two years.

If I have the chance in the future, I'll go to Mount Myōboku to learn the Senjutsu there.

Let's see if we can integrate the Senjutsu Techniques of the two Holy Lands, just like the First Hokage, and develop our own unique Senjutsu.

Unexpectedly, Rikuto was self-taught and accidentally developed immortal Senjutsu at the age of eight.

Not only can it instantly activate Sage Mode, but it also looks quite powerful.

It's really hard to believe.

"At first, since you were relatively unfamiliar with me, I definitely couldn't be completely unprepared..." Rikuto shrugged. "Later, I was mainly afraid of scaring you!"

"After all, we've already given you enough surprises!"

"It was a shock!"

The Shizune is correcting that.

From the time we met until now.

Her entire worldview has been turned upside down by him.

From Medical Ninjutsu to Wood Release, and then to the Mangekyō Sharingan...

She had never seen such an outrageously monstrous creature.

Unexpectedly, Rikuto had already mastered Sage Mode on his own at the age of eight.

That's unbelievable.

"You pass..."

Tsunade tapped Rikuto on the head. "Alright, let's eat first!"

She patted her disciple's shoulder gently, praising him with satisfaction, "You did well before; that Jiraiya guy deserved a good lesson!"

"Isn't that a bit too harsh?"

Sitting to the side, Shizune chuckled and said, "Tsk tsk, I never thought that Lord Jiraiya would be ripped off by Rikuto!"

Now they have two disciples, Rikuto Karin.

Tsunade devoted most of her energy and effort to teaching the two of them.

Although he still can't shake his gambling habit, he has actually toned it down a lot.

This is also related to the fact that she has resolved her inner conflicts and is no longer as distressed and repressed as before.

Now, as the "Chancellor of the Exchequer," Shizune is all smiles every day.

I no longer have to worry about money all day long like before.

Over the past two years, Tsunade has gradually paid off all the huge debts she had previously incurred.

She still holds a considerable sum of money.

Even without Rikuto contributing money, there's absolutely no need to worry about their daily living expenses.

Compared to before, when he was constantly on the run from debt collectors with Tsunade and had to eat and sleep outdoors, he was naturally all smiles now.

Moreover, under Rikuto's intentional or unintentional influence, she became bolder.

He frequently and firmly refused Tsunade's requests for money to gamble.

This made Tsunade so angry she almost gritted her teeth.

But there was nothing they could do.

"Dolphin~~~dolphin~~~"

Her Tonton, Tuntun, chirped loudly, not wanting to be left out.

Karin counted on her fingers, "Thirty million taels, that's enough for two or three months' worth of hard-earned money!"

In fact.

Not only Jiraiya have money.

As the foremost and most renowned medical expert in the Shinobi World, Tsunade's wealth would be absolutely astonishing if it weren't for her gambling addiction.

At least it wasn't squandered.

Her net worth must far exceed that of Jiraiya, who was Jiraiya one of the Sannin.

After all, those high-ranking officials and nobles invited Tsunade to their homes to inquire about their wealth and status.

Because these are usually difficult and complicated diseases, and some doctors have even declared them incurable.

But they pulled them back from the brink of death.

Whether it's out of gratitude or a desire to build rapport...

In short, aside from a few narrow-minded, stingy, and socially inept individuals.

The rewards offered by most high-ranking officials and wealthy people were very substantial.

Thirty million taels.

This would undoubtedly be a huge sum of money for others.

It's not just a matter of one lifetime, it might take several lifetimes to earn that much.

But for Tsunade, it was really not a difficult task.

The title of "medical expert" is a golden brand.

Some people are so eager that they practically deliver money to your door.

They were even afraid of not being able to find anyone.

Karin said two or three months.

This was based on the premise that the four of them spent most of their time traveling, and that Tsunade guided their training, which took up a considerable amount of time.

Of course, they were not the kind of people who were greedy for money, and naturally they did not treat high-ranking officials and nobles.

During my travels over the past two years, I have often provided free bathing services to others.

Just like when Tsunade sent her disciple Karin to treat the common people suffering from illness.

While not to the point of having such overflowing compassion that one would actually save every single one they encountered.

But he also took this opportunity to hone his Medical Ninjutsu.

It is indeed equivalent to practicing medicine and helping people.

The "guinea pig" analogy was just a joke.

They weren't really being treated like guinea pigs.

Rather, it was Tsunade believed that Karin already possessed that level of skill that she allowed her to practice.

Moreover, she and Shizune were also there, personally watching from the sidelines.

"This amount of money is nothing to him..."

He dealt Jiraiya a severe blow.

Rikuto felt no remorse whatsoever, and said with a smile, "And to be honest, if it weren't for Sister Tsunade knowing him, he would have lost much more than just this amount of money!"

"Yeah, that guy needs to be taught a lesson!"

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore..."

Thinking of something, Rikuto smiled and said to Shizune, "By the way, Senior Sister Shizune, come to my room later, I suddenly have a bold idea..."

He mastered the Spirit Transformation Technique.

After thorough verification in the afternoon.

He wanted to try it on Shizune.

"Huh!?"

All of a sudden.

Shizune, her eyes wide.

Looking at the handsome Rikuto, her pretty face flushed red. "This..."

Rikuto told her to go directly to his room after dinner? How could that be?

Actually, it seems... it's not entirely impossible!

"No..."

Karin clenched her fists.

Her cute little face was flushed.

She glared angrily at Rikuto and said indignantly, "You bastard Rikuto, don't even think about doing anything bad to Senior Sister Shizune!"

010 Being proud and aloof, she certainly wouldn't admit it.

Rikuto's image had long been in her heart.

If Rikuto had just said that to her...

Will she object?

It's really hard to say.

"A bold idea?"

Tsunade smiled.

As if fearing the world wasn't chaotic enough, they teased, "Oh dear~, Rikuto has really grown up, isn't he? Trying to play a trick on Senior Sister now?"
