Chapitre 42: Chapter 42: Meeting Tsunade
Hey! Pervy Sage!"
"Why is Ryujiro with us?"
"Weren't you supposed to take me alone?"
"You're a big liar."
Naruto looked displeased, as if he was not happy with Ryujiro beside him.
Ryujiro put his hand on Naruto's head, then turned to him with a gentle smile.
"Naruto, do you have a problem with me?"
Looking at Ryujiro's friendly smile, Naruto couldn't help but shiver and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no! Ryujiro, I was just joking to lighten the mood."
Terrifying!
Ryujiro's smile! It's like he's going to devour someone!
"Tch."
"Boring."
They were still within the borders of the Land of Fire.
Although Jiraiya didn't know Tsunade's exact whereabouts, Tsunade definitely wouldn't leave the Land of Fire, and she usually frequented only a few places.
After all, Tsunade was an old gambler. But even though she was such an old gambler who had been gambling since her youth, she had never won once.
To say that this person had bad luck wasn't an overstatement... as she always lost.
None of the three disciples of Hiruzen were exemplary. One was a pervert, one was a gambler, and one was like a poisonous snake who liked powerful kids.
Ryujiro felt that they shouldn't be called the Legendary Sannin if that was the case.
Following Jiraiya, Ryujiro arrived at a town in the Land of Fire. Since they were looking for Tsunade, the first thing to do was naturally to go to a gambling den.
There were only a few places where Tsunade usually frequented, and although Tsunade had been losing, she had never been short of money.
The reason was that no one dared to approach Tsunade to ask for repayment of high-interest loans.
If anyone had ill intentions toward her, Tsunade could simply stomp her foot, and the ground would collapse into a pit. Who would dare to approach Tsunade for repayment?
They had already visited several gambling dens but hadn't found Tsunade's whereabouts.
Now there was only one gambling den left. If Tsunade wasn't found there, it would be difficult to find her.
Meanwhile, in a certain casino, a figure stood out among the other patrons.
Golden long hair, mature appearance, and a voluptuous figure that was impossible to ignore, especially the huge balloons on her chest, which made it hard to look away.
But the gamblers in the casino only dared to sneak glances.
After all, this golden-haired beauty was notorious for being difficult to provoke. It was said that several thugs tried to harass her and ended up partially disabled.
"Place your bets! Place your bets!"
Tsunade looked at the chips in her hand with a conflicted expression. She didn't have many chips left, and if she lost again, she would truly be broke.
"Five!"
"It's been even all this time, so it must be odd this time!"
Beside Tsunade was a delicate beauty wearing a black kimono and holding a small piglet. At this moment, a look of despair appeared on Shizune's face.
As long as you bet against Tsunade, you were guaranteed to win.
"Darn it!"
"It's odd after all!"
Tsunade looked somewhat annoyed at the dice, having lost all her chips from morning till afternoon.
"Lady Tsunade, it's getting late. Let's go back," Shizune said helplessly.
If it weren't for Tsunade, Shizune would never set foot in a gambling den in her lifetime.
"Ah~."
Tsunade was still somewhat reluctant, but she had run out of chips.
"Alright, Shizune, let's go back."
Shizune's despondent expression finally gave way to a faint smile. They could finally go back.
"Oh!"
"Tsunade! So you were here!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Tsunade widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at the person in front of her!
"Jiraiya?! How did you end up here?!"
"Lord Jiraiya?"
At this moment, Naruto's face turned red instantly, and he shyly turned his head away, as if he had just seen something he shouldn't have.
Ryujiro squinted at Tsunade.
"Truly one of the Legendary Sannin."
"Indeed very impressive..."
*Cough* *cough*! I mean, indeed very much embodies the spirit of the Legendary Sannin."
After chatting with Jiraiya and Tsunade for a while, they all went to a nearby tavern.
When Tsunade and Shizune learned that the Third Hokage had died protecting the village from Orochimaru's attack, they couldn't accept this fact.
"That bastard Orochimaru, he really dared to do it," Tsunade said darkly, feeling a lot of guilt towards the Third Hokage.
Regardless, the Third Hokage was her teacher. She couldn't believe that she wasn't by his side when he was in danger.
What's even more ridiculous is that the Third Hokage died at the hands of Orochimaru, who was once his most promising disciple.
Even Tsunade herself thought at the time that Orochimaru was likely to succeed the Third Hokage as Hokage.
But now everything has changed.
"Hey, Jiraiya, who are these two brats with you?"
Tsunade brushed away her dark thoughts and finally noticed the two kids beside Jiraiya.
"Oh, this one is Naruto, you could say he's half my disciple."
"What?! pervy sage! How am I only half?!"
*Pfft*!
Tsunade almost spewed out the tea she had just drunk when she heard "Pervy sage."
Pervy Sage...
It really suits Jiraiya's image.
"And this is Ryujiro, a recently promoted Jonin, and a genius swordsman."
"Tsunade, his swordsmanship is even more terrifying than Sakumo-san."
What?
More terrifying than Sakumo's swordsmanship?
Sakumo was truly a ninja of the highest caliber, and what Jiraiya meant was that this kid already possessed strength surpassing that of Sakumo at such a young age?
Is that possible?
"Jiraiya, even if this kid is a genius, you shouldn't exaggerate like that. I've seen Sakumo's strength firsthand, so I know best."
Tsunade felt that Jiraiya was exaggerating a bit. Although this kid looked quite mature for his age, Tsunade estimated that he couldn't be older than sixteen.
But to have surpassed a Jonin-level ninja like Sakumo at such a young age? Even if this were spread, it would be regarded as a joke by others.
"Hey, Tsunade, I advise you not to underestimate Ryujiro. If it weren't for him, the calamity that Konoha experienced this time would have been no different from the Nine-Tails incident."
"Ryujiro single-handedly stopped a Jinchuriki , and even defeated a Tailed Beast head-on."
Tsunade suddenly stood up, looking at Ryujiro in disbelief, her finger trembling as she pointed at him. "You're saying this kid defeated a Tailed Beast?!"
"How is that possible?!"
