Chapitre 42: Nochi City
Days passed since Yone left Konoha to search for Tsunade and Shizune. He was wearing a black cloak and a straw hat to protect him from the sun while wandering the Land of Fire when he arrived at Nochi City which lies in the southeast of the Land of Fire.
He entered the city like a normal person as he looks around the city while saying to himself, "Let us hope that she is still here and didn't continue on her way to the next city on her path."
Suddenly a wolf cub stretches his head out of his cloak and barks agreeing with Yone since it traveled with Yone for the last two weeks since Yone rescued him from a hunter's trap.
It was tired of traveling like that since Yone only let it walk freely while they are outside a settlement out of fear that someone might try to kill it.
Yone walked for a while before he notices a bar which has an eye-catching sign. He enters said bar hoping to find some information on Tsunade from the barkeep.
He walks to the counter and sits down when he orders a beer when the barkeep brings him the beer Yone asks, "I need information on where I can go to gamble."
"There are three places in which you can go to gamble," says the barkeep as he was cleaning a glass since it was midday and he wouldn't get another customer until the evening giving him enough time to talk to Yone who was a new customer since he never saw him before.
"The first place is in the north of the city. It is for beginners and is completely legal. You can go there and lose all your money if you want since they won't let you take loans since they are quite new," says the barkeep as Yone takes a sip from his beer when he orders a glass of water as well.
The barkeep puts the water on the counter before he says, "The second place is in the south. They are a bit shady and might try to rob you if you can't defend yourself. I recommend you don't go there."
"And the last one?" asks Yone curious as he picks up the glass of water and pretense to drink it giving the water to the wolf cub before placing the glass on the counter again.
"The last place is at the east. It isn't as shady as the one in the south since they could lose their reputation but you should take a look at the dices once or twice to make sure they aren't loaded dices," says the barkeep when Yone placed some money on the counter before he drinks the beer and leaves.
"We now have some destinations where Tsunade could be playing," says Yone as the wolf cub barks in agreement before Yone walked toward the east while saying, "She would never play in the north. So she is either at the one in the east or west."
He arrives at the casino in the east and wanted to enter it when he gets stopped by the bouncers when Yone takes his contacts out and looks them in the eyes again placing them under a harmless Genjutsu so he could pass them.
He walks around the places and plays some games to not arises suspicion on himself since Tsunade would take the opportunity to flee the city as she did before in Kaizen and Sekai City when the other Jonins were tracking her.
Yone played for two hours winning and losing money but Tsunade never entered or left the casino so Yone stood up and left to look for her in the other casino.
He walked south entering the slums when he remembered what the barkeep told him before and he says, "No wonder he told me that they would rob me if I win in the casino."
The wolf cub was curling up inside of Yone's clothes as it was feeling uneasy because of the surrounding area. Yone could feel eyes on him from all directions as he walked calmly to his destination since he was the real predator here.
Yone arrived at the casino without any problems since a predator can identify an even bigger one and all the big criminals in the slums could identify Yone as such.
There was a hotshot that wanted to attack Yone but one of the older criminals knocked him out before he could do more harm to them than just killing him.
Yone enters the casino and walks to the counter and exchanges money to play when he hears a familiar voice rallying the crowd around a table.
He takes his chips and walks towards said table and sees the person he was looking for and her young apprentice who was carrying the piglet from the picture he has.
He sat down two seats away from her and Tsunade says, "Now, I will roll a seven!"
The people began to place their bets and everyone puts their money on a different number except for the seven when Yone puts half of his stake on the number making everyone laugh.
"I can see that you are new here but you should never bet on the number she says since that number will always lose," says the man to Yone's left giving Yone advice but Yone didn't move his bet.
"Here we go!" shouts Tsunade as she placed all her remaining chips on the number seven when she throws the dices and she closed her eyes as did Shizune and the piglet she was holding.
One of the dices was showing a four while the other was still moving and it was about to stop and show the five when Yone uses his fingertips covered in a bit of his Tremble Fruit power to shake the table for a bit making the dice show the number three instead.
"Seven!" announces the house as Tsunade opens her eyes in disbelief before placing a foot on the table.
"See, I am the Queen of Fortune!" shouts Tsunade convinced that it was her luck was back to help her out.
Yone doubled his money and he looked at Tsunade who was beginning to shake the dices again and she says, "This time it will be a nine!"
Everyone bet on another number again thinking that Tsunade was just lucky to win this round and Yone placed only a few chips on the number nine.
She throws the dices and Yone helped her without being noticed by her as she was drunk with money at the moment. Soon people placed bets on the numbers she was calling and everyone was winning making the casino owner angry as he was losing money now.
The only problem he had was that he couldn't rob Tsunade since she was a Sannin one of the strongest Ninjas of Konoha but the rest were fair game to him after they leave the casino.
Tsunade paid her debt before leaving with enough money in her pockets that she could spend on a little feast over the next few weeks. She and Shizune leave the casino together and Yone exchanged his chips before following them.
Someone wanted to stop him at the exit but he just looked at him before passing him leaving the casino. Tsunade was leading the way towards the center of the city while Shizune followed her helplessly since Tsunade would do whatever she want to do.
They arrived at the bar Yone went in before making Yone think that at least their taste was still the same when he enters the bar when suddenly a fist came out of nowhere towards his face.
Yone dodges the attack knowing that if he blocked the attack he would break his arms in the intend since the attack was Tsunade who shouts, "You followed us long enough!"
Shizune attacks him from behind and tries to stab him with her kunai. She goes straight for the head and pierces right through it or at least that is what she thought when the straw hat falls to the ground and she feels her kunai getting hot.
She lets go of the kunai which drops to the ground as it burned her palm a bit when Tsunade sees a hole where a face should be. She attacks Yone again not recognizing him when the hole closed itself and she got a glimpse of the face that was hiding under the straw hat.
She stops her attack before hitting Yone but the pressure behind it still hit Yone directly who took it as if it were strong wind that hit his face.
"Long time not seen, Tsunade," says Yone before picking up the kunai and holding it out towards Shizune before saying, "Shizune."
"Yone," says Shizune happy to see Yone as she jumped at him giving him a long hug when she feels something move.
The wolf cub suddenly looked out and barks at Shizune for almost killing it when Yone says, "I almost forgot you. This one is a gift for a friend of my grandson. She was talking about wanting a pet like Naruto."
"Naruto, I told Jiraiya that it was a bad idea from Minato to name his child after Jiraiya's main protagonist," says Tsunade hearing that name since she read Jiraiya's book since he was pestering her to do so.
"What I don't get a hug or a what have you been doing all this time?" asks Yone warmly looking at Tsunade hoping for a reaction.
"Well, I heard that you prevented a kidnapping in Konoha," says Tsunade warmly since she gets her information from Jiraiya and Nawaki.
"I couldn't let some bad guys kidnap my grandson and the Hyuga Princess. It would place me in a bad light," says Yone as he takes the wolf cub out before he hugs Tsunade while saying, "I missed you."
"I missed you too," says Tsunade returning the hug before coating her fist in Haki and she hits him in the gut knowing that Yone couldn't turn into fire or darkness to escape this attack.
"Why did you-" says Yone as he falls to his knees when he sees Tsunade's smile.
"That was revenge for letting me wait so long," says Tsunade as she walks to an empty table while Shizune was helping Yone to get there while the wolf cub chased after the piglet.
