"Casino?"
In an unknown small town in the Land of Fire.
Sasuke looked at the casino in front of him, then turned back to glance at Orochimaru, who was draped in a robe, completely concealing himself.
This guy definitely looked like someone who couldn't be seen in public.
But now, Sasuke had changed into new clothes.
Clothes that Orochimaru had prepared for him before they set off.
Although Sasuke didn't really care about clothes, Orochimaru seemed to have his own peculiar tastes.
He had even prepared an outfit for Sasuke that was exactly the same as the one Sasuke wore in the original story after joining Orochimaru.
Of course, it was a smaller version, suitable for Sasuke's current size.
At the same time, Orochimaru had given Sasuke something new.
"Kusanagi Sword!"
"This is a gift for you. Your previous ninja sword was left in Konoha. This is your new ninja sword!"
Looking at the Kusanagi Sword in his hand, Sasuke didn't refuse and naturally accepted it.
Gently stroking the Kusanagi Sword, Sasuke silently sighed in his heart.
'In the end, I've walked down the same path as in the original story!'
He shook his head.
No!
Although it seemed the same now, Sasuke would not become the Sasuke from the original story.
He only had Sasuke's memories and body.
He was the new Sasuke!
"Go in, Sasuke-kun!"
"This is where Tsunade appeared last!"
Sasuke nodded and pushed open the door of the casino.
He walked in quickly.
Inside the smoke-filled casino, Sasuke couldn't find Tsunade.
Just because Tsunade had appeared here didn't mean she would stay, but it was still easy to find some information about her.
"A woman? Big chest?"
"Oh! I know!"
Sasuke looked at the casino manager. After Orochimaru handed him a bag of cash, the manager immediately started speaking enthusiastically.
"That's the famous big fat sheep!"
"No matter what she gambles on, she's never won. Even if we try to let her win, she'll lose for some strange reason!"
"She's a perfect fat sheep, but she hasn't been here since yesterday. She lost all her money, so she probably won't be coming back!"
Looking at the smile on the casino manager's face, Sasuke felt speechless.
Princess Tsunade, one of the Legendary Three Ninjas, was a gambling addict, and the kind that always lost!
But she still insists on gambling, it's simply unbelievable.
With this thought in mind, Sasuke spoke up directly.
"Where did she stay before?"
The casino manager should know this kind of information.
After all, such a big fat sheep wouldn't easily be let go.
"She stayed at…"
After leaving the casino.
Orochimaru looked at Sasuke. "Have you already thought about how to persuade Tsunade to treat Kimimaro and me?"
"Isn't using her lover as a bargaining chip enough?"
With a smile, Orochimaru shook his head. "I don't think you would be so naïve as to believe that would convince Tsunade."
Indeed.
Simply using these things would probably not be enough to make Tsunade help treat Kimimaro.
But!
Sasuke had other methods.
Perhaps using Tsunade's lover wasn't enough, but what if Sasuke used another approach?
"We'll find out when we try!"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru smiled. He didn't have any idea on how to persuade Tsunade.
Even if he thought of promising to use the Edo Tensei to let her see her past lover or brother again, Tsunade wasn't someone who would easily compromise.
Arriving at Tsunade's residence, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. "She's here!"
Sasuke nodded. "Then, it's up to you to greet her."
Orochimaru glanced at the window on the second floor and jumped in directly.
Sasuke didn't go up immediately but waited below.
Soon, accompanied by Tsunade's roar, Orochimaru jumped back out.
Then Tsunade followed, charging out.
Bang!
After a loud crash, the ground on the street shattered into pieces.
Painful Heaven Foot!
A single strike instantly shattered an entire street.
Sasuke dodged and looked at the devastated land in front of him.
He was indeed a bit surprised.
Is this the unique strength of the Senju clan?
Truly extraordinary.
But...
The way she uses chakra, it seems... Sasuke might be able to replicate it.
"Orochimaru, you still dare to appear before me? Are you looking for death?"
Hearing this, Orochimaru, who had also dodged the attack, crawled out from the side.
"Tsunade, long time no see. You're still the same as always!"
Without warning, they started fighting!
Tsunade coldly looked at Orochimaru. "Why are you here to see me?"
"Forget it, I don't care why you came. Just get lost!"
Hearing this, Orochimaru felt quite embarrassed.
Once a member of the Legendary Three Ninjas, now Tsunade rejected him so blatantly, and with Sasuke watching, Orochimaru felt ashamed.
But at this moment, even without Orochimaru's introduction, Tsunade's attention was already drawn to Sasuke.
It was impossible not to notice. The chakra fluctuations coming from Sasuke were so intense, they were nearly impossible to ignore.
"This kid... who is he?"
Orochimaru smiled. "His name is Sasuke Uchiha!"
Uchiha?
Tsunade's expression changed slightly. The Uchiha clan wasn't well-regarded in Konoha, and Tsunade herself had the bloodline of the Senju clan!
"An Uchiha brat?"
"One actually survived, and he has this kind of presence at his age!"
Saying this, Tsunade's gaze grew colder. "Bringing an Uchiha brat to see me, Orochimaru, what do you want to do?"
"I want to ask for your help in treating someone!"
Sasuke spoke up first. However, after glancing at Orochimaru, Sasuke added, "Two people!"
Treating people?
Tsunade chuckled. "Hmph! I won't help you. Just get lost!"
"As an exchange, we can let you talk to someone you loved who has already passed away, for an hour!"
Someone who's already dead?
Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly. "Uchiha's brat, just get lost! Do you think I, Tsunade, am so easily tricked?"
"Forbidden Technique~ Edo Tensei!"
Sasuke only said these few words, without elaborating further.
But Tsunade's expression was already different.
Looking at Sasuke, his words seemed much more convincing than Orochimaru's.
After a long silence, Tsunade shook her head. "No need. I don't have anyone I want to see!"
Failure!
Now Orochimaru wanted to see what Sasuke would do!
Forcing Tsunade to help was impossible.
So, what method would Sasuke use?
"Fine. We'll use Edo Tensei to bring back someone you loved. We'll control them to attack the major ninja villages!"
"Even if they're dead, don't think they can escape my torment!"
At these words, Orochimaru froze.
He didn't expect Sasuke to go in the opposite direction. If bringing those two people back to meet Tsunade wouldn't work, Sasuke's current statement had completely enraged Tsunade.
But at the same time… this method was more effective than the previous one!
Tsunade's eyes narrowed...
"You dare..."
