Chapter 143 Encountering Tsunade, a Strange Hobby [Fourth Update]

"This child, she has a mission the next day and she's not sleeping well tonight," Kitahara Yoshiko said with some concern as she tidied the house.

She remembered that when Kitahara Kaede first received a mission, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. But he gradually got used to it and rarely stayed up all night anymore.

He was a little worried that it might affect his mission.

However, she didn't ask any more questions. She didn't know anything about the ninjas and didn't want to ask. She just silently worried about her son's safety and prayed to the gods, hoping for his safe return.

Kitahara Kaede yawned as he arrived at the gates of Konoha and completed the registration. Not long after, his two teammates, Hyuga Keiko and Ayato Genryu, arrived with their backpacks.

"Feng, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Xiang Tianyuan asked.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well." What could Kitahara Kaede say? Could he say it was a consequence of using multiple shadow clones?

It can only be said that I didn't sleep well.

Hyuga Keiko, however, gave Kitahara Kaede a strange look, feeling that Kitahara Kaede's aura had become stronger again.

Because of the Byakugan, even when not using it, their senses are much sharper than those of ordinary ninjas.

Compared to when they parted yesterday, Kitahara Kaede's aura had become significantly stronger, not just slightly, but noticeably so.

Of course, she didn't know that this was the result of Kitahara Kaede maintaining the normal state of opening the gate. Although she had worked hard all night with the shadow clones of the Ox and Horse, she could only be considered to have initially mastered the state of the normal state of opening the gate.

However, some chakra energy could not be completely contained, which is why such a perceptive ninja as her noticed it.

However, she had already gotten used to it. Recently, Kitahara Kaede's strength would suddenly increase dramatically from time to time, and she had become numb to it.

"Is everything ready?" Kitahara Kaede asked listlessly.

After a night's rest, his body had recovered, and his chakra had long since returned to its peak, but his mental state was somewhat listless.

"Ready."

"No problem, everything is ready!"

The two of them said.

"Then let's go."

At Kitahara Kaede's command, the three of them headed towards the ruins of Loulan in the Land of Wind.

As the sun set, the evening sunlight shone on a small town in the Land of Fire.

Three boys and girls wearing Konoha headbands arrived at the edge of the town.

"It's getting late, so let's not travel so late at night and just stay here for the night."

The handsome young man leading the group, dressed in a Konoha Chunin vest, spoke first.

These three people were none other than Kitahara Kaede and his two companions.

Since the mission itself wasn't urgent, there was no need to travel overnight.

However, just as the three entered the town and were about to find a hotel to rest, a sudden commotion erupted.

"Stop! Don't run!"

"It's shameful to owe money!"

"Give me my money back."

Amidst the chaos and commotion, the sounds of debt collectors rang out.

Kitahara Kaede looked closely and saw a figure with yellow hair and green clothes rushing from the town.

"Make way, make way! You three are also Konoha ninjas, right? Help me block them!"

In an instant, the figure darted past the three of them.

In that instant, Kitahara Kaede, even without activating his Sharingan, greatly enhanced his dynamic vision and captured the identity of that figure.

Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha and the future Hokage.

Before Kitahara Kaede and his companions could react, they were already surrounded by the debt collectors. Seeing that they couldn't catch up with Tsunade, who was running faster and faster, they simply surrounded Kitahara Kaede and his companions.

"What are you doing?"

Xiangtian Yuanlong instinctively pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag.

Meanwhile, the debt collectors stared intently at Kitahara Kaede and his companions, saying, "It's only right to pay back debts. She's from Konoha, so it's only natural for a Konoha ninja to pay her debts."

The fat businessman at the head of the group was very aggressive.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Kaede was so angry he laughed. This man was clearly the casino owner and his henchmen.

After all, Tsunade frequents taverns and casinos, and she's always a super-fat target.

"Of course? I think you're all asking for it." Xiang Tianyuanlong said without any politeness. He twirled the kunai in his hand and released the killing intent of an elite Chunin-level ninja, which directly frightened the people in the casino so much that they broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, everyone in the casino suddenly remembered that these were all ruthless ninjas.

Even a ninja village with a relatively good reputation like Konoha is essentially an organization composed of murderous maniacs.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these people can even pay ninjas to do things for them. When faced with these old men who have absolute control over their own lives and deaths, they actually have no way to deal with them.

Should we go to Konoha to complain?

Any elite genin could easily wipe out a small town.

This is the fundamental reason why the relationship between ordinary people and ninjas in this world is so tense. One side possesses a level of strength that the other side can never match, yet they achieve a balance in a bizarre way.

"Every wrong has its source, every debt its debtor. Go find whoever owes you. If you dare to keep nagging in front of us, don't blame us for being impolite." Kitahara Kaede narrowed his eyes and said just as impolitely.

His aura was barely leaked, yet it terrified everyone in front of him, causing them to collapse to the ground and scramble away from the scene.

Kitahara Kaede immediately put away the kunai in his hand. He wouldn't have a good attitude towards these scumbags. In his previous life, Naruto was a shonen manga, so many parts were depicted as too fairytale-like and naive, including the harmonious relationship between ninjas and ordinary people.

Is that really possible?

In other words, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the others were good-natured and didn't transform into a pure killing maniac like Orochimaru. Otherwise, these people wouldn't have been enough for her to kill. She could have killed them and that would have been fine.

You still dare to ask her for gambling debts?

court death!

After unintentionally helping Tsunade solve a problem, Kitahara Kaede entered the town and found an inn to stay at.

"Who was that person just now?" Xiang Tianyuanlong asked curiously.

The three of them waited for their food, feeling rather bored.

Kitahara Kaede closed his eyes, making the most of every minute to adapt to the normal state of having the door open.

In this state, he can exert 100% of his strength, which is not possible under normal circumstances. The body's instinct will prevent you from fully exerting 100% of your physical functions; this is a self-protective mechanism of the body.

Without mastering the correct methods, one can only rely on daily practice to gradually improve one's physical capabilities to the point of 100%.

Ordinary people can only exert about 70% of their strength, while veterans who have reached the Jonin level can probably reach about 90% after years of training.

Once the door is opened, it can be fully utilized.

Kitahara Kaede is still adapting to this state, aiming to make it as natural as breathing, without having to think about it.

"I just took a look, and that's... Lady Tsunade," Hyuga Keiko said after taking a sip of water.

Even with her Byakugan, her dynamic vision is far superior to that of the average person, even in normal circumstances.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, she still managed to make out the iconic attire.

Although it's just a branch family, the clan still provides general education on various powerful individuals, including information about the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Tsunade is of paramount importance, given her illustrious background. Her two grandfathers were Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, the two Hokage who founded Konoha, and her teacher was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage who held the highest position in Konoha.

Born into a powerful clan like the Senju, he had countless hidden supporters within Konoha, and he himself was very capable, ranking among the Legendary Sannin.

It could be said that, compared to Minato Namikaze or Orochimaru, Tsunade was actually the most suitable candidate for the Fourth Hokage.

"It's Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin? How could she..." Xiangtian Yuanlong was shocked. He simply couldn't imagine that the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, who stood at the pinnacle not only in the Land of Fire but also in the entire ninja world, would be chased to the point of having nowhere to run for their lives by a few casino thugs.

Even a low-ranking ninja like him wouldn't be easily manipulated by these ordinary casino thugs.

Of course, many casinos are backed by powerful ninjas or ninja families, and they are by no means simple entities. Only in this way can they grow big and strong.

Ordinary small casinos don't have the resources to support a genin. It's already a luxury to keep a genin. When facing a chunin-level expert, they often have no choice but to accept defeat unless they are willing to spend a lot of money to hire someone else.

"It's just a game of life," Kitahara Kaede said with her eyes closed.

He knew that Tsunade was using this method to avoid the trauma in her heart. The impact of her brother and lover dying in front of her was simply too great.

She even developed a hidden fear of blood. Even now, Tsunade still seems to have the title of one of the Legendary Sannin and is quite powerful, but she will immediately break down mentally whenever she sees blood. When she recalls the way her lover Dan and her younger brother Senju Nawaki died in front of her, she will lose her fighting ability.

It's not just Tsunade who gets chased around by casino thugs; even Jiraiya was caught peeping and chased all over the streets, sometimes even kneeling down to apologize.

"Oh, well, I really can't figure out what these adults are thinking." Xiang Tianyuanlong shut up at the right time. He really didn't understand these big shots' quirks.

If I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it; it can only be attributed to some kind of quirk.

Before long, the food in the inn was served, and the three of them finished their meal and returned to their rooms to rest.

After washing up, Kitahara Kaede opened her diary, ready to begin today's entry.
