Chapter 17: Only half a month, quite ordinary

The next day, Short Book Street.

Jiraiya returned to the Blue and White Pavilion.

"Mr. Songshan, this is your IOU. You can bring it here when you come to Konoha next time. I will have the money ready by then."

"This...are you coming to return it?"

Matsuyama Koji asked carefully.

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just transferring the debt from you to me."

Matsuyama Koji hesitated for a moment and said, "You'd better not pay for her gambling. A fat sheep like this will lose money wherever she goes. Even you may not be able to afford it."

At the back, Kyohiko suppressed his smile and the urge to look back at Tsunade, and put on a serious face.

however.

Jiraiya coughed lightly and said, "I will advise her."

"I can't persuade them! We have seen this kind of addiction many times in our casino. They all say they want to change, but they will still come here secretly next time."

Matsuyama Koji was also sincere, otherwise, as a casino owner, how could he say such a thing?
Jiraiya forced a smile.

"Well, let's not talk about this. Next time you come to Konoha to entrust a mission, I will treat you well and we can talk then."

"The one in Konoha should be my uncle Ichiro Matsuyama. He is in charge of the business in the east. He is in charge of the business with Cardo."

Matsuyama Koji explained.

Jiraiya nodded: "No problem, I'll contact you then."

"Okay, go back and persuade your friend. Her luck is really not suitable for gambling. After all, it's rare for someone like her to not win a single bet."

Matsuyama Koji said kindly.

but--

"Bang"!
There was a loud bang.

The door at the back was blown down.

Tsunade had a dark face, and the green clothes with the word "gambling" on them were particularly eye-catching.

Her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she spoke every word with great emphasis.

"Hey! I've been putting up with you for so long!"

"Calm down, calm down! He's just a casino owner, don't bother with him."

Shizune held onto Tsunade tightly.

So skilled!

So skilled that it makes people feel distressed.

Jingyan quickly looked away and focused his attention on the door that was smashed open next to him.

The chakra that exploded just now was the application of super strength.

Tsunade is so skilled!

An outburst like this can be achieved easily and does not require any deliberate control or accumulation.

This is at least master level, right?

Jingyan thought to himself.

Matsuyama Koji hid behind Jiraiya, his face pale.

This woman has such terrifying power!

Kakashi was wearing a mask, but judging from his eyes, he must have been quite shocked.

There is a huge contrast between Tsunade's appearance and the destructive power she caused.

"That's it for now, we'll take our leave now!"

Jiraiya immediately took Tsunade and ran away.

If you don’t run away now, you will have to pay for the door later!
How dare Matsuyama Yukiji chase after him?

He came to his senses.

Such a powerful strength, a good relationship with Jiraiya, a gambler, a big fat sheep...

All these descriptions added together result in only one person.

One of the legendary three ninjas.

Tsunade.

hiss!
Matsuyama Koji had also heard a little about this princess.

He is very powerful but has a bad temper.

What a blessing!

Another day of being the boss.

……

"Tsunade, you really have a bad temper, and what people say is not wrong!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but say.

Tsunade glanced at him coldly and then remained silent.

Naturally, her luck in gambling is terrible.

but.

She was not in a position to talk about some of the metaphysical things.

such as--

If you are too lucky, something bad will happen to someone you care about.

Tsunade would rather have bad luck.

At least, this shows that the people you care about are safe.

She didn't explain.

We walked all the way to Konoha, and after a while, everyone stopped to rest.

Tsunade was sitting there and suddenly glanced at Kyohiko.

"Little devil! Come here." Huh?
Jingyan looked around and then confirmed that the person Tsunade called was him.

He had no choice but to walk over.

"Tsunade-sama."

"Sit down, what ninjutsu do you know?"

Tsunade asked.

Jingyan counted the ninjutsu he had mastered.

Tsunade frowned at that.

At the back, she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you learn illusion?"

"No."

Jingyan shook his head.

Tsunade was slightly surprised.

"Why? It wasn't passed down?"

Back then, even ninjas from other countries knew about Senju Momoka's illusion technique, so it should not be without inheritance.

Jingyan explained.

"My grandmother's illusion technique is indeed very powerful, but my father and mother were not very talented, so it was not passed down. There are a few scrolls at home, but I did not learn them."

Those illusions are not very powerful, but are extremely difficult, so they are not a top priority.

therefore.

Jingyan prioritized physical training at the time.

After hearing this, Tsunade asked again, "How long have you been learning water jutsu?"

"It's been more than half a month, and I'm still not very proficient."

Jingyan looked ashamed.

Tsunade was silent for a moment.

This kid...

To have reached this level in just half a month, you are already a genius among ninjas. There is nothing for you to be ashamed of!
Not a human being, right?
Her eyes gradually turned unfriendly.

"Little devil, do you want to be beaten?"

"As a ninja, I should pursue more perfect techniques. I am still far from it."

Jingyan answered seriously.

Jiraiya was standing nearby, quietly giving a thumbs up.

brave!

He has already started lighting candles for Jingyan.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow but said nothing, instead her smile widened and she gently patted the child's shoulder.

"You said before that although I am afraid of blood, experience and skills are very useful. I think I should start testing it on you."

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade."

Jingyan thanked him respectfully.

Tsunade's "test" is by no means easy, and it might be painful.

but.

There are countless people who want Tsunade's guidance but have no way to do so.

Such a rare opportunity, no matter how much hardship you have to endure -

Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi standing beside them were extremely envious and kept glancing over here.

In this era, which young girl doesn’t idolize Tsunade?

She had always dreamed of becoming Tsunade's student. She would be so happy if she had the chance to get guidance from her.

Unfortunately, when she graduated, Tsunade had already taken Shizune away, and she didn't even have the chance to become Tsunade's student. Now she understands the reason.

Hemophobia.

The type of illness that all ninjas fear.

Thinking of this, Xi Rihong couldn't help but feel sad.

After a short rest, everyone got back on the road.

On the way, although Tsunade didn't believe that anyone would come for her and Jiraiya, she still maintained a high level of caution.

……

Konoha, Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage was stunned when he heard this.

"what?"

"Lady Tsunade is back, and is now ten minutes away from Konoha."

"!!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's stunned expression gradually turned into confusion.

Tsunade is back...

For a moment, he didn't know how to face it, and many complicated emotions surged in his heart.

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a breath.

"I see. You can go down. There's no need to make a big fuss about this."

"Yes!"

The ANBU ninja saluted and immediately left the Hokage's office.

Wait for his men to leave.

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, looked in the direction of the Konoha gate, and after a long time, he exhaled a long puff of smoke.
