Watching Kazuki walking away without looking back, followed closely by Itachi, Jiraiya felt like slapping himself. He could only awkwardly follow behind Kazuki and Itachi.
Kazuki didn't pay any attention to Jiraiya behind him. He raised his hand and patted Itachi's shoulder, turning his head slightly, "Does it feel difficult to accept?"
"Yeah." Itachi nodded honestly.
Just a few minutes ago, he had held a glimmer of hope for Jiraiya. Unfortunately, that hope was now shattered. Ironically, Jiraiya, who dared not promise and even embarrassed himself, wanted to use Kazuki to mend relations between the village and the Uchiha.
This was somewhat ironic.
"Hahaha, get used to it."
"....."
He wanted to find a hole to crawl into!!!
Embarrassing, so embarrassing!!!
Jiraiya knew he had really messed up today.
In the following period of time, Jiraiya behaved calmly, earnestly searching for any trace of Tsunade.
Originally planning to have Kazuki and Itachi help run errands, he ended up collecting intelligence himself, while Kazuki and Itachi basically idled away in the inn or hotel.
Apart from Tsunade herself, perhaps the only ones who knew her best were Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Jiraiya collected targeted intelligence. As long as Tsunade didn't hide in a remote and uninhabited place, she would eventually be found.
Collecting information about Tsunade was not difficult; just taking a stroll through the gambling dens would yield plenty.
In the fourth town they reached after leaving Konoha, Jiraiya successfully gathered relevant intelligence.
A few days ago, a certain "big fat sheep" had lost disastrously in the town's gambling den. Most of the debt collectors went to his door late at night, only to find an empty place.
The town of Kajimachi, named after a tree with drooping branches.
In a remote tavern, Shizune wept silently, clutching her small purse, pleading, "Wuwuwu~~ Lady Tsunade, we can't gamble anymore, or we won't have money left for accommodation and meals."
"Shizune, just trust me one more time. I guarantee we'll win this time and pay off all the debts."
Drinking quite a bit, Tsunade, her face flushed, coaxed Shizune like a rascal, hoping to coax the last bit of savings from Shizune's pocket and then go to the casino for a couple of rounds.
Whether she could break even or make money, who knew.
"No, I don't believe Lady Tsunade's words anymore."
Shizune tightly clutched her wallet, shaking her head repeatedly, indicating she wouldn't trust her even if the sky fell.
Shizune, who didn't want to sleep on the streets, refused to hand over her last bit of savings.
Unexpectedly, her hands trembled, and the wallet smoothly ended up in Tsunade's hands.
"Hey hey."
Holding the shrunken wallet, Tsunade smiled triumphantly, looking exactly like an old rogue teasing a young girl.
Should I go in?
If I go in now, will Tsunade beat me up and take my money?
Outside the door, Jiraiya wrung his hands, hesitating.
Recalling some unforgettable experiences, such as the rewards for the Sannin missions being lost directly to a certain big fat sheep.
Also, his savings were accidentally snatched by a certain big fat sheep, leaving him with nothing.
Behind Jiraiya, Kazuki and Itachi were speechless.
Unable to bear watching, Kazuki kicked Jiraiya from behind.
"Oh!"
With a cry, Jiraiya flew straight into the tavern. Kazuki nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Not bad, just the right amount of force. Let's go, our mission is complete. Let's eat something and find a place to rest."
Finding Tsunade meant Kazuki and Itachi's mission was complete.
As for how Jiraiya would persuade Tsunade to return to Konoha, that depended on Jiraiya's persuasive skills.
Someone awkwardly flew into the small tavern and attracted everyone's attention, including Tsunade and Shizune.
"Jiraiya..."
Seeing Jiraiya climb up from the ground, red-faced, Tsunade couldn't help squinting her eyes.
She had probably guessed why Jiraiya had come here.
For the sake of Konoha's affairs.
"Boss, bring another table of dishes and two more bottles of wine!!"
Although she wasn't interested in Konoha's affairs and didn't want to bother with them, since Jiraiya had come, someone would pay the bill.
Therefore, Tsunade unabashedly chose to extort a sum from Jiraiya.
Just as Shizune was afraid of sleeping on the streets and had been stingy with her order, someone paid the bill, and now she could eat heartily.
Really, kid, I remember you!!!
Threatening Kazuki with his eyes, Jiraiya approached Tsunade.
Kazuki sat down with Itachi at the next table and waved to the boss, "Bring some signature dishes and make it quick."
"Alright, sirs, please wait a moment."
The tavern owner shouted happily, "And snacks for the table next to them, along with two bottles of wine!!!"
"What are you doing?"
Originally intending to gamble a few rounds, Tsunade lost interest with Jiraiya's arrival. She handed her wallet to Shizune.
Clutching her wallet tightly, Shizune almost burst into tears of joy.
She managed to save her last bit of money.
Although she could extort money from Jiraiya this time, what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?
If Lady Tsunade was in a bad mood and didn't want to make money, then there would be no money to come in, and there would be no money to come in, and even staying on the streets, I really was too hard.
Thinking of the situation that might happen in the future, Shizune could not help but sigh sadly.
"This... ahahaha, long time no see, Tsunade."
Even female spies can be fooled outside and can be seen from all kinds of strong winds and big waves, and I've been free and easy for decades, and the only thing in front of Lady Tsunade can be turned into an idiot.
"Please enjoy yourselves, gentlemen."
Tsunade wanted the wine, and it was sent up first.
Twisting off the cap, Tsunade grabbed the bottle and drank most of the sake in one breath, then put the bottle down contentedly.
Looking at the next table, she smiled at Jiraiya.
"It's been a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here with Uchiha's people."
"In order to find you as soon as possible, I let the old man issue a task and brought them to find you."
Jiraiya casually explained, wanting to sit next to Tsunade.
Just before sitting down, he noticed Tsunade frowning at him.
Instinctively, his body jumped up, quickly moving towards Shizune.
That's about it.
Count you sensible.
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction, continued drinking, Shizune gasped, hurriedly let Jiraiya sit down: "Mr. Jiraiya please, I went to the next table, you talk."
Clenched between Jiraiya and Tsunade, it is undoubtedly very uncomfortable.
So Shizune chose to run to the next table to eat.
What a bad luck?
You don't sit at the next table and come over here for a free meal?
Kazuki looked up and down without being polite, and directly sat down at the table with Itachi, and said politely: "Seniors, hello, I am Uchiha Kazuki."
"Hello, I'm Shizune."
Shizune smiled and greeted him, his eyes moving away from Itachi's face, and falling on Kazuki's collar.
Because the battle suit was customized, the family emblem was not embroidered on the back, but on the collar.
