Zhang Miao's personality was very straightforward. He belonged to the type who would do whatever he wanted, so he left very quickly this time. When Hiruzen wanted to say something, he found that Zhang Miao's figure had already disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Hiruzen could only shake his head helplessly. However, at the same time, the corners of his mouth also curled up.
"It seems that there are still people he can't part with in the Konoha. This is also a good thing for the Konoha. It seems that I have to pay more attention to Naruto!
Obviously, because of Zhang Miao's words, Hiruzen paid more attention to Naruto.
However, Zhang Miao did not know that at this time, as he was under the cover of the night while speeding up toward the Tanzaku Quarters.
"Damn, I was in a hurry and forgot to tell Tsunade. If she thought I was a liar and walked away, it would be troublesome."
Zhang Miao was really afraid that if Tsunade left, it would be difficult to find her. It would be a pity if he lost the trust he had obtained with great difficulty.
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao hoped that Tsunade could stay in the casino for a little longer, even if he lost more money.
"I hope that 30 million is enough for her to play for a whole day. At least until I come back. If she found me nowhere and then leave in a fit of anger. It will be troublesome."
Unfortunately, Zhang Miao's prayers did not work. When he returned home, he saw Tsunade sitting at the door, holding a wine gourd in her hand.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao immediately showed a helpless face.
"Although it is different from what I expected, it's fine as long as she hasn't left!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao walked over to Tsunade and sat down next to her. "You lost all thirty million this time?"
"How is that possible?" As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Tsunade immediately rolled her eyes at him. "I only lost ten million!"
Zhang Miao: "…"
Ten million? Just that?
Hearing Tsunade's words, Zhang Miao could not help but roll his eyes again. But before he could speak, he saw Tsunade smile happily.
Seeing this, Zhang Miao's mouth could not help but twitch a few times.
"You are so happy after losing ten million? Hey, Aunt Tsunade, did you became stupid after losing money?"
It was fine if Zhang Miao did not speak, but when he spoke, Tsunade suddenly smiled even more happily.
"Hehehehe... I will encounter bad things when I win money, and losing money means that everything will go smoothly. During this period of time, I, Tsunade, am losing money, which proves that what I am looking forward to will definitely come true, right?"
Speaking of this, Tsunade winked at Zhang Miao, her face full of brilliant smiles. Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao once again rolled his eyes at her.
"Don't ask me about this. Go ask the casino boss. When he sees you, a big fat sheep, he will definitely tell you everything you want to hear. Well, I am going to sleep!"
After that, Zhang Miao ignored Tsunade and went back to his room to rest. Watching him leave, Tsunade picked up the wine gourd again and took a sip. Then she looked at the bright moon in the sky with a smile.
"Dan, Nawaki, we will meet soon, soon..."
When Tsunade was muttering, Zhang Miao, who had just returned to his room, suddenly moved and shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Tsunade. I used the ninja fragments of Dan and Nawaki, so it's impossible to meet soon!"
As for Tsunade's wish, Zhang Miao actually wanted to satisfy it, but he had a feeling that if he recruited Dan, Tsunade would very likely "quit".
It was because of this risk that Zhang Miao decided to slowly talk about it first.
"At least wait until I gather all the ninja fragments I need to recruit Hashirama and recruit you. Then I will consider them!"
Zhang Miao was not a saint, so he could only consider himself and other people at the same time. In an old Chinese saying, "If you are poor, you can help yourself. If you are rich, you can help the world."
Now that the crisis in the Ninja World had not been resolved, Zhang Miao could only choose to become stronger first. When his ability was enough to protect his relatives and friends, he would help others under the condition that he was allowed to.
Even Tsunade was the same.
Now Zhang Miao had already set a short-term goal for himself, a middle-stage goal, and a long-term goal.
The short-term goal was naturally to recruit Tsunade and Hashirama, so that his strength would take another leap, at least surpassing the resurrected Madara.
And the middle-stage goal was to refine the Shinigami Mask, and then recruit the Shinigami to crush Otsutsuki Kaguya, to let her understand who was the one who made the decision in this world.
As for the long-term goal, it was naturally to recruit 223 elite ninjas, let those on the verge of collapse integrate into this world, and finally become an omnipotent True God.
Of course, now Zhang Miao had only recruited about 30 people, and it was still a bit far from the ultimate goal of 223, so he did not have much to choose.
After closing the door, he took a deep breath and then ordered the system.
"System, help me take out a Shinigami mask. I want to refine it!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
After hearing Zhang Miao's words, the system immediately took out a Shinigami mask for him and asked him again at the same time.
"Currently, the only thing that can be used to refine the mask is the 7-star Kage-level Ninja Fragment, a total of 1790. It has met the refining conditions. May I ask if Your Holiness will use it to refine the Shinigami mask?"
Just like Gaara's, Chiyo's Ninja Fragment had no recruitment or lottery function, so as soon as the system finished speaking, Zhang Miao immediately nodded.
"Yes, help me take out all of Chiyo's Ninja Fragments!"
Following Zhang Miao's command, the system immediately took out all of Chiyo's Ninja Fragments.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao smacked his lips, then picked up the mask and put it on his face.
"Tsk... Then I'll start!"
Refining the Shinigami mask was very boring, but at the same time, it was also very painful. It needed Zhang Miao to bite his finger again and again, and then drip blood to refine every Ninja Fragments. When the wound healed, he would have to bite again and again. It was a cycle of repeated actions.
However, this kind of pain could not make Zhang Miao give up. He kept warning himself in his heart.
"If you don't want to experience that kind of pain when you first came to this world again, you must endure it. In the midst of suffering, you must be superior. If you want to dominate the world, what is this little pain? Ouch…"
Although he had made up his mind, the pain brought by biting his finger still affected him. However, seeing that the Ninja Fragments on the ground were getting fewer and fewer, and the refining speed of the mask was getting faster and faster, his face could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
In some way, it was a "painful happiness".
