"Ah, I finally lost all my money. It seems like good luck will happen next."
At the entrance of the casino, Tsunade stretched her waist in a refreshing mood, with a very hearty smile on her face, as if she had encountered something great.
"I've never heard of losing money being linked to good luck..."
Shizune stood behind Tsunade, holding the pink piggy in her arms and complaining softly.
"Don't say that, Shizune, for me, losing money is inherently linked to good luck."
"Tsunade-sama, this kind of superstition is just accidental. You are the Sannin of Konoha, how can you believe such unreliable superstitious words?"
Shizune said righteously.
In her opinion, Tsunade's so-called luck attributed to losing money is like looking at horoscopes. There is simply no credible fact to back it up.
What happened when I won money in the past was just pure chance.
"I know, then, let's go to the wine shop and have a drink, just in time to vent the sullenness that has accumulated in my heart recently."
Tsunade didn't pay attention to Shizune's rebuttal. Today she lost all the money she earned from winning the lottery a while ago. Judging from this situation, she will definitely not run into any trouble again in the near future.
"However, if you leave the village again without saying a word, the Hokage-sama will be quite dissatisfied."
Just like before, Tsunade, who had returned to Konoha before, left without saying a word again. Shizune was worried that the Hokage would be angry.
"An old man who is about to die, who cares whether he lives or lives?"
Tsunade said bluntly.
Shizune sighed, if she really didn't care about life or death, how could she have gone to a dangerous battlefield a while ago?
After all, it's just a mouth full of knives and a heart full of fuss.
Regarding this, Shizune will not expose it.
After following Tsunade for so many years, she had already figured out Tsunade's temperament.
Without thinking much, Shizune followed Tsunade to the izakaya.
This is Tsunade's unique habit. If she wins money, she will run away and move her position to the next place.
But if he loses money, he will find a nearby izakaya and indulge himself in drinking until he is exhausted.
If people knew that this was the true identity of the medical master among the Sannin, their dreams would be completely shattered. Shizune thought in her mind.
In the izakaya, Tsunade was sitting alone in a remote corner, drinking until she got excited. Her cheeks began to turn red and her eyes became blurred. She seemed to be enjoying this rare peaceful time.
Shizune sat aside and just watched helplessly to prevent any accidents from happening to Tsunade.
Just thinking about this, Shizune heard the sound of footsteps in her ears, and her eyes shifted from Tsunade to look ahead.
Two men came into view, standing in front.
One of them was tall, with muscles all over his body, and dark skin, which was completely different from the skin color of ordinary people.
This is the unique skin color of people from the Land of Thunder.
And... Looking at the man behind the strong man, he was young and similar to himself, wearing the decoration of a Kumogakure ninja, making Shizune's eyes suddenly become wary.
There is no doubt that these two people are Kumogakure ninjas, but they suddenly appeared here. I'm afraid they came with bad intentions.
Tsunade on the other side seemed not to see the two people in front of her. She was drinking alone and had no interest in observing anything around her.
Shizune, who was about to remind Tsunade, suddenly saw the Kumogakure ninja coming up behind the strong man and bowed very respectfully to Tsunade:
"Hello, Tsunade-sama, I am Amayi, Kumogakure's medical jounin. I have taken the liberty to come here this time to ask for your help with something important."
The extremely respectful attitude made Shizune suddenly stunned.
Aren't these two Kumogakure ninjas here to cause trouble?
After all, the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure is not very good.
Not only because the two sides fought fiercely in the Third Ninja War, but most importantly, Kumogakure once sent a mission to Konoha. In order to get Hinata's eyes, he did not hesitate to frame the Hyuga clan with a conspiracy. This is a despicable trick. , still makes many Konoha ninjas feel angry.
"Oh, is it so?"
Tsunade seemed to have come back to her senses and glanced at Kumogakure Jounin Amayi who was bowing to her with a very good attitude.
"Yes, my companion was injured for some reason, and with my medical ninjutsu, I cannot save him. I beg Tsunade-sama for help, please!"
After saying that, Amayi bowed deeply again, lowering his attitude very low.
"Having said that, as a Konoha ninja, I don't seem to have any obligation to help Kumogakure... Moreover, you Kumogakure did very excessive things to the Hyuga clan in the past."
If it were just a war, Tsunade would not have any prejudice against Kumogakure.
But when the armistice agreement was signed, Kumogakure was engaged in some shady conspiracies in Konoha. This was the reason why Tsunade didn't like Kumogakure very much.
"In the Hinata incident, we Kumogakure are already reflecting on our mistakes, and I would like to apologize. This matter really cannot be delayed this time. Please put aside the past grudges, Tsunade-sama."
Ama Yi apologized sincerely.
Not only because I have something to ask for now, but also because I feel respected from the bottom of my heart for being able to have close contact with the legendary medical ninja.
Because there is no medical reform made by Tsunade, it is not known when medical ninjas like them, who are good at medical ninjutsu, will be reused by the village and become very important beings in the village.
Regardless of her enemy's stance, Amayi could not tolerate any disrespectful gesture towards Tsunade.
"That's nice to say."
"Tsunade-sama..."
"Okay, Amayi, let me tell her."
The Fourth Raikage couldn't stand it any longer, so he walked in front of Amayi and stood in front of Tsunade.
Looking at the drunken woman in front of me, I couldn't tell that she was a medical expert in the ninja world.
But he trusted Amayi's judgment.
Since Amayi believed that this woman had the ability to cure the explosive bugs in the body of her subordinate Karai, she could only come and ask Tsunade to help Kumogakure.
"Who are you……"
Tsunade raised her head and looked at the big man standing in front of her.
"Tsunade-sama, this is our Raikage-sama of Kumogakure."
Amay introduced Tsunade solemnly.
"That's really a big shot coming..."
Tsunade spoke calmly, but there was no hint of fear in the Raikage's tone.
Not paying attention to the sarcasm in Tsunade's tone, the Fourth Raikage took a deep breath and said, "I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense. I'm here to ask you to treat an injured Kumogakure ninja."
"Do you think that's possible?"
Tsunade looked at the Fourth Raikage boredly.
"Ninjas follow strength and actions. Now, use your strength to prove it. If I win, you must promise me to heal the injury of the Kumogakure ninja. If I lose, I will not bother you again. That's it. At this point, I’ll be waiting for you in the open space behind the wine house.”
Before Tsunade could say anything, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and walked towards the outside of the pub, heading to the open space behind to wait for Tsunade to arrive and fight with her.
"What a troublesome and reckless brat..."
Tsunade looked at the back of the Fourth Raikage and whispered.
Still drinking alone, he didn't take the Fourth Raikage's words to heart at all.
"Um, Tsunade-sama, aren't you going to keep your appointment?"
Seeing that Tsunade had no intention of getting up, Shizune couldn't help but ask.
To be honest, the intimidating power of that Raikage was really terrifying.
Just standing there is so breathtaking.
On the other hand, she was worried that if the other party fought with Tsunade, this peaceful town would be destroyed.
After all, for a ninja at Tsunade's level, it would be impossible to exert all her strength in a place like this, which would cause a large number of innocent casualties.
"Shizune, which of your ears heard that I agreed to his request for a duel? He's just being sentimental. I didn't agree to a duel with him at all. Besides, what does the life and death of the Kumogakure ninja have to do with me? Drinking. drink wine."
Tsunade said getting excited and filling herself a glass again.
"I knew it was like this..."
Shizune was speechless for a moment.
After the Raikage knew the truth, he would be so angry that he would explode on the spot.
◎
In the dark forest outside the town.
The five members of Xuan Yuanzhong stood on the branches and looked at the peaceful night scene of the town.
Then, a small insect the size of a finger suddenly appeared from the air, changed the color of its body, and turned into a black color very close to the dark night. It flew onto the insect man's finger.
The black bugs made a faint squeaking sound, which seemed to be conveying some message.
"How is it going?"
Shadow Man asked.
The insect man put away the black insect and said calmly: "What a coincidence."
"how?"
"It can be said to be a mixed result. The Raikage and the others can't get rid of my blasting insects. If there are no unexpected factors, they will obediently hand over the secret scroll of Sugino Village."
"Does that mean there's an accident happening now?"
"Yes. The Tsunade that Lord Shiraishi wants to meet happens to be in this small town. The Raikage is seeking Tsunade's help."
The rest of the dead understood what Worm Man meant by 'a mixture of good and bad'.
One of their original goals was to find Tsunade's whereabouts.
If he appeared in this small town by chance, it would save them a lot of time in searching.
But the problem is that Raikage seeks help from Tsunade. It is conceivable that the blasting insect has temporarily lost its threat to Raikage-sama.
Because Konoha has experience in dealing with blasting bugs.
In the past, Jiraiya was carelessly planted with blasting bugs by a bug man, and his life hung on a thread. In the end, Tsuna performed surgery to remove the blasting bugs from Jiraiya's body.
Finding Tsunade is naturally a good thing, but the meeting between Raikage and Tsunade is not a good thing.
It was already very difficult to have the Raikage as an opponent.
If there was another Sannin, the five of them would have no choice but to flee.
Although the blasters are powerful, they are not invincible. Especially when facing a top medical ninja like Tsunade, the threat will be greatly reduced.
"Forget it, there is no need to worry about the Sugi Village matter for the time being. Although it is more troublesome, Raikage cannot always follow Tsunade. During their return to Kumogakure Village, we still have many opportunities to attack. Touo, you go and talk to Tsunade. Contact Shiraishi-sama and tell him Tsunade’s location.”
Insect Man thought for a moment and realized that the task Shiraishi gave them was more important than the bounty task.
The so-called bounty mission is not to earn any bounty, because no matter how fast they earn the bounty, these bounties are only a drop in the bucket in terms of the Ziyuan Flower Merchant Guild's ability to attract money. The most important thing is intelligence collection, as well as exploring the secrets of high-level officials and big businessmen from various countries, which is beneficial to the military's layout.
This is the most fundamental goal of Xuan Yuan Zhong based on the underground black market.
No matter how high the bounty is, it can only be regarded as extra money.
Moreover, as long as the Fourth Raikage does not return to Cloud Hidden Village, they will have another chance to succeed.
"yes."
The native man did not hesitate, dived underground and left.
◎
The next day——
"Tsunade, you bastard, you dare to break the appointment! You made me wait in the open space all night in vain!"
Roaring these words almost in a roar, the Fourth Raikage was filled with terrible anger and rushed to Tsunade with Amayi, his eyes burning with all-devouring rage.
Shizune and Tsunade were awakened by the roar of the Fourth Raikage. Unlike Shizune who was panicked, Tsunade seemed calm.
He propped his arms on the table covered with empty wine bottles, raised his head and looked at the angry-looking Fourth Raikage and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure? A big shot is here."
"Asshole! You already said this last night, don't try to get away with it here! Are you still a ninja like this?"
"Don't look at me like this, I am indeed an excellent medical ninja."
"Then go out and have a fight with me!"
"No, I just woke up from alcohol and my mind is still a little unclear. Also, I am a medical ninja, why do I have to fight with barbaric orangutans? Don't you know the medical ninja rules?"
Damn stinky bitches! The Fourth Raikage was so angry that it was hard to express.
After all, he was asking for help now, and he didn't dare to offend Tsunade too much, otherwise his subordinates' lives would probably be in danger.
No matter how angry he was with Tsunade, he was still trying to control his violent personality.
"Then how can you agree to my request?"
The Fourth Raikage asked patiently.
"Hmm...Looking at you like this, you probably won't look back until you hit the wall. It's so troublesome. Really, you didn't win any money, yet you encountered such a troublesome thing."
Tsunade complained.
"Stop rambling here and give me a warm word! Otherwise, even if I use force, I will make you submit!"
The Fourth Raikage said.
"Use of force? Who are you talking to, Raikage brat?"
Tsunade looked at the Fourth Raikage mockingly.
"old woman!"
The Fourth Raikage blurted out these words.
Amayi and Shizune quietly stepped aside, not wanting to get involved in such a troublesome matter.
When Tsunade heard the word 'old woman', the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and then she said with a smile: "Okay, I agree to your request. But there is a condition."
"What conditions?"
Tsunade stretched out her hand and said: "Come and arm-wrestle with me. If you can beat me in arm-wrestling, I will promise you to save the injured Kumogakure ninja. How about it, do you dare to have a try?"
"Arm Wrestling?"
The Fourth Raikage looked at Tsunade suspiciously.
Are you planning to let him win happily?
You must know that although his Thunder Release Ninja Taijutsu is not strength-based but focuses on speed, it does not mean that his power is weak.
He could easily crack the ground with a punch at will.
Even though Tsunade was rumored to be a very powerful ninja, he didn't think that a woman could be stronger than him.
"Okay, since you want to lose so much, I will help you."
The Fourth Raikage snorted heavily, and walked out of the izakaya with Amayi, and came to the open space where Tsunade was waiting last night, where there was a stone table.
Soon after, Tsunade and Shizune also arrived belatedly.
"How about one game deciding the outcome?"
Tsunade said.
"As long as you don't break the promise, it doesn't matter if the outcome is determined by one round or two out of three."
The Fourth Raikage was still brooding over Tsunade's broken appointment last night.
"I'm a Sannin after all, how could I do something so shameless as breaking an appointment?"
Tsunade became serious.
"Okay, let's start quickly. My subordinates may not be able to support it for long."
"Yes, yes, but who should be the referee?"
Tsunade asked.
The Fourth Raikage pondered and glanced at Amayi and Shizune. No matter who was the referee, they would be biased.
After all, the lives of his subordinates are at stake, so he needs to find a middleman to be the referee.
"Then just go to the street and find someone to be the referee. It's only for a while anyway."
The Fourth Raikage waved his hand and said.
"No problem, Shizune, you and this Amayi jounin go to the street..."
Before Tsunade could finish speaking, a voice suddenly interrupted:
"In that case, how about I be the referee, Tsunade-sensei, Raikage-dono?"
The sudden sound caused the expressions of everyone present to change.
Unlike the surprise of the Fourth Raikage and Amayi, Tsunade frowned deeply, as if she was unwilling to see the man in front of her.
The person who appeared here was Shiraishi.
After he got the news from Tsunade that Tsunade was here, he immediately rushed over overnight, just in time to catch up with the upcoming arm wrestling match between Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage.
Lei Mingwan, who was squatting on Shiraishi's shoulder, greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Good morning, everyone."
"What are you doing here?"
Tsunade asked, narrowing her eyes.
She didn't believe that Shiraishi just passed by this place by chance.
"Maybe it's just a whim. I want to talk to Tsunade-sensei about something."
Shiraishi smiled.
"You and I have nothing to talk about."
Tsunade snorted.
Shiraishi didn't care about this. After all, the conflict between him and Konoha was too deep. Tsunade's cold reaction was also expected.
Shiraishi looked at the Fourth Raikage and asked, "How about it, Sir Raikage, how about I be the referee for this competition?"
The Fourth Raikage thought for a moment and did not agree immediately, but looked at Tsunade.
"What do you think, Tsunade?"
"As you wish."
Tsunade thought this kind of thing didn't matter.
End the game quickly and leave immediately. This was the only thought in her heart at the moment.
Really, why did I encounter such trouble in the past two days when I obviously didn't win any money.
If I had known, I should have packed up and left last night.
But no matter how much Tsunade complained at this time, the thing had already happened and it was impossible to undo it.
"Then it's up to you."
The Fourth Raikage nodded to Shiraishi.
He and Shiraishi can only be regarded as acquaintances. At the Five Shadows Conference before, he also maintained a neutral attitude and did not want Kumogakure to be involved in the complex pattern of the western part of the continent.
The Fourth Raikage and Tsunade both put their hands on the stone table and grasped them together with serious expressions.
Although they haven't started to exert force yet, the atmosphere around the two of them has become different from usual. Even jonins like Shizune and Amayi feel a sense of oppression and difficulty breathing.
"Then, you two, please start."
As Shiraishi's words fell, the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade instantly began to exert their strength.
Incomparably powerful chakra erupted from the bodies of the two men, cracking the ground beneath their feet.
The terrifying storm centered on the two people and spread to the surroundings in an instant. Both Shizune and Amayi couldn't help being forced to take a few steps back and looked at the two people at the center of the storm in shock.
Shiraishi stood calmly next to the stone table, looking at the two people wrestling with each other.
Every hair of the Fourth Raikage stood up exaggeratedly, and the unparalleled thunder-attribute chakra covered his body, forming an extremely thick thunder armor.
This level of destructive power is indeed an amazing ninjutsu for humans.
The most important thing is that the chakra of the Fourth Raikage is huge.
At the moment when the Fourth Raikage exploded with chakra, Shiraishi felt as if he was facing Lin with the full force of Seven-Tails chakra.
Among the people Shiraishi met, apart from himself, only Ruri, Ayane, Lin, Yagura, and Inigaki Kisame, among others, could match the chakra amount of the Fourth Raikage.
Even Tsunade, who inherited the Senju bloodline, was a little bit behind.
"It's such an exaggerated chakra, it's like a tailed beast..."
Thundermaru was also very surprised by the amount of chakra the Fourth Raikage had.
It is really unimaginable that the Fourth Raikage, who is neither a Jinchuuriki nor a blood-successor ninja, could condense such a huge amount of chakra in a human body. This is simply unbelievable to Raihoumaru.
Even the brothers would find it difficult to control such a huge amount of chakra.
In terms of chakra volume competition, the Fourth Raikage is undoubtedly the top group of ninjas in the ninja world.
However--
Facing such huge chakra, Tsunade smiled with ease:
"Have you not eaten? Raikage boy? To this extent, you still want to save your companions?"
Facing Tsunade's sarcasm, the Fourth Raikage did not refute. It was time for him to be suppressed by Tsunade's power. Once he opened his mouth, it would be equivalent to venting all his power.
This result actually shocked the Fourth Raikage.
In the opinion of the Fourth Raikage, Tsunade was probably even stronger in terms of pure power than Hyuga Ayane, whom he had fought.
If he possesses chakra comparable to that of a tailed beast, then Tsunade is equivalent to a terrifying humanoid tyrannosaurus in strength!
Seeing that Tsunade could still speak during the arm wrestling, the Fourth Raikage knew that there was absolutely no way he could beat Tsunade in terms of strength.
If it were his father, the Third Raikage, he might still have a chance to equal Tsunade in terms of strength.
But his Thunder Escape Armor focuses on speed rather than strength.
"It seems the outcome has been decided."
Shiraishi also saw that no matter how violent the Fourth Raikage's Thunder Armor was, it still couldn't compare with Tsunade in terms of pure power.
Shiraishi doubted Tsunade's strength to beat a giant psychic beast to death with her fists.
If this is dragged to the construction site of the Kingdom of Ghosts to carry out construction...
Amayi looked nervously at the Fourth Raikage who was suppressed by Tsunade. If the Raikage loses here, it will not only be a matter of face, Karai's life will also be in danger.
However, even though the Thunder Release Armor has been activated to the maximum, it still cannot surpass Tsunade in terms of strength. Everyone present knows that the Fourth Raikage cannot win.
The competition in strength between the two is not on the same level at all.
"Well, that's it, Raikage brat! I won this contest!"
Not wanting to get entangled any further, Tsunade used all her strength, intending to press the Raikage's palm on the stone table so that he could not lift it up.
The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face tensed up, and suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his eyes.
There was a boom.
The stone table and the ground below were suddenly exploded by a huge force.
Tsunade watched in astonishment as her body reversed and she fell in the ruins in a state of embarrassment. The Fourth Raikage pressed her palms to the ground, unable to move.
The occurrence of this scene surprised everyone watching.
"Raikage-sama!?"
"Tsunade-sama!?"
Shouts came from Amay and Shizune.
Shiraishi stood there thoughtfully, and unexpectedly glanced at the Fourth Raikage, with a smile on his lips.
When he was about to lose, the Fourth Raikage deliberately let go, and then instantly made Tsunade lose the balance of power at an extremely fast speed, so that Tsunade could not react, and then counterattacked with lightning speed. Tsunade's power.
Not winning with strength, but winning with speed.
Shiraishi thought he couldn't do that kind of exaggerated speed.
If arm wrestling is normal, like what the Fourth Raikage did, it will only lead to self-destruction. But the fourth generation Raikage Jedi counterattack was quite proud and confident about his speed.
It seemed that the other party was not a reckless man with well-developed limbs.
Because of the speed, even if the opponent uses a single Thunder Escape Armor, the tactics will become more flexible and changeable, and they will not stick to one tactic.
Ignoring everyone's surprise, the Fourth Raikage let go of Tsunade's palm, looked at his right hand that was already a little red and swollen, and said to Shiraishi, "I won this competition, right?"
"Of course, after all, I said it at the beginning, this is an arm wrestling, not a competition of strength."
In other words, as long as it was not a despicable cheating method, the Fourth Raikage, who won by speed, used his own advantages to win.
Very nice counterattack.
Shiraishi couldn't defend Tsunade.
Presumably Tsunade didn't even bother to deny it.
Tsunade also reacted from the stupor of failure and took a deep look at the Fourth Raikage. She also knew the reason why she lost the competition. She thought she was a simple-minded guy, but she didn't expect to have such a brilliant side of her head.
I underestimated him.
After all, the other party is one of the five contemporary Kage just like his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Except for a certain Feng Ying who has been beaten to the point of autism, it will undoubtedly be a lot more troublesome.
"What do you say, Tsunade?"
"Don't worry. Since I lost the competition, I will go with you to save the ninjas in your village."
Tsunade stood up from the ground and patted the dust on her body. Just as Shiraishi thought, as a Sannin, she didn't bother to default on her debt.
◎
The group of people followed the Fourth Raikage to the hotel. In the room, Kumogakure Jonin Karai was struggling on the bed in pain. The insect-shaped lump on the chest in front of him was bigger than yesterday, and it was shrinking one by one. , looks extremely scary.
Tsunade looked a little surprised when she saw such injuries.
"Explosion bug?"
"you know?"
The Fourth Raikage looked at Tsunade in surprise.
Tsunade nodded in a dark and serious tone, and asked the Fourth Raikage: "The people you are fighting against are the Xuan Yu Zhong, right?"
The Fourth Raikage didn't hide anything.
"Yes, they were hired by the ninjas of Sugino Village to come and cause trouble for us."
"Suginomura?"
Tsunade frowned.
"I sent someone to take away the secret technique of Sugi Village, and the ninjas of Sugi Village hired the Xuanzanzhong to come to trouble us and ask us to hand over the secret technique scroll of Sugi Village."
The Fourth Raikage told this matter generously.
"..."
Tsunade was speechless.
As expected of Yunyin, he was so confident in grabbing things without even trying to hide it.
Amayi also stood aside with an embarrassed look on her face, not knowing what to say.
Maybe this is the charm of Raikage-sama.
Disdainful of concealment and lying, his character is direct and rough.
Shiraishi didn't react at all, although it was the task of the Xuanzhong to retrieve the secret scroll of Sugi Nomura.
But the Xuan Yuanzhong is the Xuan Yuanzhong, a group of bounty hunters in the underground black market. What does it have to do with him, Qianye Shiraishi?
Besides, even if Tsunade heals the injury of the Kumogakure jounin, the Xuanzanzhong can force the Fourth Raikage to submit again.
If he hadn't met a top medical ninja like Tsunade, it would not have been that simple to deal with the blasting bugs he developed.
"Forget it, this is the grudge between you Kumogakure and Suginomura, and it has nothing to do with me. After rescuing this person, you should pack your things and leave immediately."
"Can you cure it?"
The Fourth Raikage raised his eyebrows.
"Don't think of me as one of those medical ninjas in your village who can't even do such a small thing."
Tsunade immediately retorted.
Amayi, Kumogakure's medical jounin, felt like she was stabbed hard in the chest, and she felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
After all, he is also Kumogakure's elite medical ninja. He is usually trusted by his colleagues in the village, but in Tsunade's eyes, he is so unworthy of mention. Maybe this is the desperate gap between himself and the top medical ninja in the ninja world.
"Then cure it quickly!"
The Fourth Raikage had a dark face.
Tsunade did not respond to the Fourth Raikage, but looked at Shiraishi and said: "You came here specially to talk to me about something, right? Then you will do the surgery this time."
He didn't plan to do it himself, but gave this opportunity to Shiraishi.
"?"
Although Shiraishi felt a little strange, he didn't hesitate much.
Let the Fourth Raikage and others leave earlier so that he can discuss with Tsunade earlier.
But just because he doesn't have an opinion doesn't mean that others don't have an opinion.
The Fourth Raikage suddenly shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, Tsunade, what do you mean? Didn't you do it yourself?"
"A simple surgical resection does not require my own hands at all. This kid is also one of my students after all, so this little thing won't trouble him. Not only him, but Shizune next to me can easily solve it."
Tsunade looked at the Fourth Raikage like an idiot.
The Fourth Raikage was not angry, but glanced at Shiraishi and Shizune suspiciously, and then looked at Amayi behind him who was in a state of shame. The other person scratched the skin on his face and smiled awkwardly.
I'm so sorry for being so useless as a medical jounin, Raikage-sama. Amayi felt sad in her heart.
Not only Tsunade, but also her students were able to heal the injuries caused by the blasters. This made Amayi, who felt good about herself, somewhat doubt whether she was Kumogakure's elite medical ninja.
"let's start."
Whether Tsunade does it herself or someone else acts as her agent, as long as Karai's injury can be cured, the Fourth Raikage doesn't mind who does the surgery.
Shiraishi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and it felt really strange to deal with the blasting bugs he created.
Walking to the side of Kumogakure Jonin Karai, Shiraishi stretched out his hand and gently touched the swollen insect-shaped lump.
The insect-shaped lumps are eliminated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then, Shiraishi unfolded his white coat, deftly took out a scalpel from a pocket, and lightly slashed Karayi's chest, causing a small wound to open.
Immediately afterwards, light green chakra condensed in the palm of his hand. On the open wound, a very small white worm emerged from the wound. It was the body of the blasting worm. Shiraishi sucked the white worm out of the wound. Grind it in your hands.
The wound on Karai's chest was also recovering, and his breathing had returned to steady.
"Okay, it's settled."
Shiraishi turned around and smiled at the Fourth Raikage and others.
"?"
Unlike Tsunade who was not surprised at all by this, Kumogakure Jōnin Amayi looked shocked.
I wanted to have a learning mentality and watch the process without missing a beat, but... what are these?
I watched the whole process, but it seemed like I didn’t watch it.
He couldn't understand at all how Shiraishi solved the blasting bug.
Looking at Tsunade and Shizune, who also looked calm and calm, they seemed not surprised. Amayi once again fell into deep self-doubt about her abilities.
Is my level of medical ninjutsu... really poor?
"Now that Karayi's injury has been cured, let's say goodbye here."
The Fourth Raikage didn't know medical ninjutsu, but as long as Karai's injury was resolved, there was no need to stay here.
"Don't leave in a hurry, Raikage brat."
Tsunade then smiled and spoke.
"What else?"
The Fourth Raikage looked at Tsunade in confusion.
"Aren't you afraid that the Xuan Yuans will cause trouble for you again? After all, your men can't get rid of the blasting bugs."
Tsunade's lips curled up.
"what you up to?"
"I just want to make a deal with you. I can give you some medicine to eliminate blasting bugs. As for me, I usually like to gamble. You just need to help me pay the bill the next time I gamble. Moreover, I If I’m not mistaken, you may have also been poisoned by explosion bugs by the Xuan Yuans.”
Tsunade said with a smile.
"What?"
The Fourth Raikage and Amayi were both shocked.
Tsunade waved her hand, signaling the two of them to calm down.
"Don't look at me like that. What I'm telling you is the truth. If you, Raikage, have had direct contact with people from the Xuan Yu Zhong, then there is no reason. Only your subordinates have been infected with blasting bugs."
"Then why..."
The Fourth Raikage doubted this.
"If there hadn't been that competition, I might not have understood it. But in the arm wrestling just now, I understood it. The explosion bug is lurking in your body, and it didn't attack because the chakra flow rate in your thunder armor mode was too fast. There is no way to capture the blasting bugs. But you will definitely use chakra in your daily life in the future. It is impossible to use the thunder armor directly in any situation. The blasting bugs will attack... and as a result, you will also Saw it."
Tsunade looked at Karai on the bed and meant something.
The Fourth Raikage's face became filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"Lord Raikage."
Amayi's face became serious, and she laughed as a reminder beside the Fourth Raikage.
"I understand." The Fourth Raikage nodded, looked at Tsunade and said, "Okay, you can give me the medicine... But, can I just repay your gambling debt once?"
"That's right. After all, if you think about it, even if I, a Sannin, lose money in gambling, I can't lose too much, right?"
"That's true."
The Fourth Raikage nodded.
For a ninja of Tsunade's level, gambling is probably a way of entertainment. There must be some restraint, and it is impossible to gamble without limit.
Moreover, he also needs Tsunade to provide medicine to prevent the Xuanzhong's blasting bugs.
After taking away the medicine in Tsunade's hand, the Fourth Raikage successfully reached an agreement with Tsunade. Carrying Karai, who was still in a coma, he left the hotel with the medical ninja Amayi and disappeared without a trace.
"That Raikage-sama, I'm afraid you don't know your true gambling product, Tsunade-sama."
Shizune said in a pitiful tone.
Because Tsunade's gambling items really have no lower limit, and she is the only recognized big fat sheep in the gambling world.
"Why are you talking like that, Shizune? We are doing an honest business, and I didn't force him to buy the medicine in my hand, right?"
Tsunade gave Shizune a righteous lesson.
"Yes Yes."
Shizune said casually.
She had already anticipated the scene where the Fourth Raikage would fly into a rage in the office after getting the bill.
"So, how about we talk about our affairs now, Tsunade-sensei? I was too busy last time and didn't have much time to catch up on old times, so I want to make up for it this time. It just so happens that it's almost noon now, how about I treat you to a treat?" "
The Fourth Raikage and others left, and Shiraishi smiled and invited Tsunade.
"It seems that if you don't explain things clearly, you plan to keep following me."
Tsunade let out a sigh of relief, but still nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I also want to know what kind of talk you want to discuss with me."
Tsunade was also quite curious as to why Shiraishi came to find her.
This was probably the first time they were prepared to have an honest conversation.
