"Hey, kid!"
Tsunade suddenly opened the window and shouted at Uehara Naraku outside the inn: "I almost forgot to ask, which village are you a ninja from? What’s your na!"
"..."
Uehara Naraku’s expression darkened again.
Does this woman still want to fleece him?
Tsunade leaned out the window, her chest slightly deford from the pressure, and she smiled with interest, "I’m just a wandering ninja; I wouldn’t interfere with you carrying out your missions..."
Uehara Naraku finally raised his head and said softly to Tsunade: "Even the legendary Sannin Tsunade is a wandering ninja... The Third Hokage of Konoha must be a real fool, huh?"
Tsunade wasn’t angry at all; instead, she nodded in agreent and said, "Yeah, the old man is getting on in years; not only his vision is bad, but his mind isn’t sharp either!"
Tsunade has always lacked respect for the Third Hokage.
If the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen were in front of Tsunade, she could say even harsher things.
"So, is Konoha going to have a new Hokage soon?"
Uehara Naraku looked up at Tsunade with a mysterious smile: "Why don’t we make a bet? I have a strong feeling that Lady Tsunade will be the next Hokage of Konoha!"
"Heh..."
Tsunade let out a warm breath, looking down at Uehara Naraku with a light smile: "Kid, at least pick a realistic candidate. How could I be interested in being Hokage... and do you even have any money?"
"..."
The confident smile froze on Uehara Naraku’s face; indeed, without money, he couldn’t speak with authority!
"Losing to you is destiny’s choice."
Uehara sighed, looking at the beaming Tsunade: "Oh well, when fate arrives, no one can resist its will."
Of course, except for Uehara himself, who controls fate.
After saying this, Uehara Naraku waved goodbye to Tsunade and disappeared into the night.
Tsunade, by the window, wore a somber expression. She just stared into the dark night outside, slowly sliding to the ground.
"...Fate?"
Tears welled up in Tsunade’s eyes as she clutched her chest tightly, her face filled with desolation and sadness: "Shizune, pack up. We’re leaving here tomorrow."
"Huh? Lady Tsunade?"
Shizune walked over in surprise and, seeing Tsunade slumped on the ground, rushed to help her up: "Lady Tsunade, did sothing happen?"
"Nothing."
Tsunade extended her hand, gently stroking Shizune’s cheek, and murmured: "I’m worried sothing bad might happen. Go pack up our things!"
Ever since she learned to gamble as a child, Tsunade has always lost, even against lousy gamblers like Senju Hashirama, her luck was astonishingly bad.
Occasionally, she would win once.
Whenever she won, sothing unfortunate would happen.
However, in the wager just now, Tsunade almost won consecutively, making Uehara Naraku doubt his life.
Who knows what might happen if she stays in the Hidden Hot Water Village?
Uehara had no idea that his words successfully erased Tsunade’s good mood completely, only knowing that fate is a magical skill.
When he activated destiny, figures turned into a multitude of faces appearing in his mind, allowing him to pinpoint the exact location of everyone within a hundred kiloters.
Uehara quickly located Hoshigaki Kisa and Hozuki Mangetsu’s position, as cards appeared at his feet...
Destiny’s teleportation feature, activate!
The most luxurious hot spring inn in the Hidden Hot Water Village.
Hoshigaki Kisa sat upstairs, repairing Shark Skin, occasionally glancing down at his companions in the hot spring bath, when suddenly a sound of card shuffling reached his ears.
Hoshigaki Kisa abruptly grabbed Shark Skin and turned his head, just in ti to witness a scene that made his little eyes nearly pop out!
Cards appeared out of thin air on the floor, overlapping each other to form a circular area about half a ter in diater.
The next second, Uehara Naraku appeared above the cards.
This teleportation feature of Uehara’s new destiny skill allows him to teleport directly to Kisa as long as he’s within destiny’s range.
Hoshigaki Kisa sighed with relief, his face showing a hint of curiosity, smiling as he asked: "Lord Uehara, is this so kind of Space-Ti Jutsu?"
"Yes."
Uehara Naraku didn’t deny it and handed a piece of paper currency to Hoshigaki Kisa, which was what Tsunade pitied and gave to him: "This is what’s left of the money you gave ."
"...Only five hundred ryo?"
Hoshigaki Kisa’s face was incredulous.
Even if Kisa hadn’t specifically calculated his mission commission, he had an approximate figure, but it was worth millions of ryo!
Hoshigaki Kisa couldn’t help but ask: "Lord Uehara lost a few million ryo today? It sounds more like a legendary fat sheep..."
"Shut up!"
Hearing Tsunade’s nickna, Uehara Naraku’s face darkened, his mood turning somber as he mumbled, "Which room is mine?"
"The largest one next door."
Hoshigaki Kisa quickly changed the subject, smiling as he said: "Lord Uehara, why not spend so ti in the hot spring? This is the most luxurious hot spring hotel in the Hidden Hot Water Village; even ordinary Jonin can’t afford to co for a casual visit!"
"No, I’m in a bad mood."
Uehara Naraku’s body subrged into the wall as if diving.
By the ti Kisa’s surprise faded, Uehara had already used the Mayfly Jutsu to pass through the thick wall and reached his resting room.
The wonders of destiny’s teleportation and the Mayfly Jutsu completely upended Hoshigaki Kisa’s understanding of ninjutsu, adding a bit more reverence in his heart.
However, Hoshigaki Kisa rembered Uehara Naraku’s frustrated expression and how he lost a few million ryo, and couldn’t help but laugh to himself: "Ha, it seems our new boss isn’t so flawless after all!"
Hoshigaki Kisa wasn’t angry that Uehara Naraku lost all his money; instead, he felt Uehara had gained so life-like qualities, unlike when they originally t, where there was a mysterious and daunting aura that kept people at a distance.
A splash of water flew into the room, and Hozuki Mangetsu looked at the smiling Hoshigaki Kisa with suspicion: "I heard soone talking earlier; has the boss returned?"
"Yes, he just went to rest."
"Hmm..."
Hozuki Mangetsu frowned, looking sowhat displeased: "The boss went to rest so early; is he not satisfied with the inn I booked?"
"No, it’s purely because he’s in a bad mood."
Hoshigaki Kisa shrugged, looking at Hozuki Mangetsu with a laugh: "After all, anyone who loses a few million ryo in one day wouldn’t be in a good mood, right?"
Hozuki Mangetsu: "..."
Finally, Hoshigaki Kisa and Hozuki Mangetsu exchanged a glance, each suppressing their laughter, revealing a profound smile.
Damn, they couldn’t help but laugh!
They thought everything in the Ninja World was under Uehara’s control...
Who would’ve thought Uehara himself is still a walking fat sheep!
