Chapter 465 First Encounter, the 37-Year-Old Mature Young Woman, Tsunade
"what--"
"Wait a minute, Lady Tsunade!"
"Please reconsider carefully. This is our last bit of money. If we lose it like this, we won't just lose our living expenses, but we'll also incur huge debts!"
In a casino in a small town, 13-year-old Shizune stared at the gambling table where someone was about to go all in, offering advice and reminders. Her little face was almost in tears, and she was already drenched in sweat!
She had absolute faith in this Sannin's gambling luck; losing every bet was her buff, and as far as she knew, she had never won a single one!
"Huh? What are you talking about, Shizune?" In contrast to Shizune's surprise, the 37-year-old, youthful, and beautiful Tsunade with her twin tails was full of anticipation and excitement. "I feel like I can definitely win this time. This is my last chance to turn things around. Absolutely!!"
Almost as soon as she spoke and made her promise, the mature Tsunade, with her eyes burning with desire, pushed the chips in front of her and placed her bet while Shizune looked on in despair!
"It's over, this is money I borrowed with great difficulty, now it's all gone..." Seeing that the die was cast, Shizune murmured in despair and helplessness, utterly lost and distraught.
Given Tsunade's luck, the outcome will be as expected!
"Place your order now, proceed..."
"What?! This is...?! Impossible!!"
"Hehehe... Sorry, we won this round again!"
"Hehehe, thank you for your patronage, Lady Tsunade..."
"Damn it, I felt like I was on a winning streak this time, how come it's like this again!"
As if responding to Shizune's inner thoughts, the voices of Tsunade and the gamblers mingled together the moment her thoughts fell.
"Just as I expected, no surprises!" Looking at the indignant gambler Tsunade, Shizune's lips twitched and she let out a dejected sigh.
Next up is the familiar yet embarrassing part: running away!
"boom……"
Just as Tsunade, with her dark expression, was angrily shouting, a burst of white smoke suddenly exploded beside them.
As a ninja, Shizune reacted immediately and looked at the white smoke with a wary gaze!
After all, we are still in the final stages of the war, and there is still a possibility that Lady Tsunade, as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, is being targeted by the enemy.
"Tsunade-sensei, Shizune, it's been a long time..."
Amidst the exchange of glances and Tsunade's flippant gaze, a familiar yet playful voice rang out from within the white smoke.
"Lin-chan??" Upon hearing this voice, Jingyin instinctively exclaimed, overjoyed.
As a classmate, she was quite familiar with Nohara Rin's voice!
"Yes, it's me." Nohara Rin replied with a smile, then turned to Tsunade with a sweet smile as the smoke cleared. "Tsunade-sensei, the war is over, and I've come to fulfill the promise you made to me!"
"The war is over..." Tsunade trembled upon hearing this, not caring about any promises, nor did she look at the boy beside Nohara Rin.
On the contrary, Ishikawa's mature gaze, beyond his years, swept over Tsunade without any politeness, his eyes finally settling on the lush mountains...
As expected, this Tsunade is much more alluring; the mature charm she exudes is simply incomparable to that of the 50-year-old Tsunade.
Those were the beautiful years of youth!
"Hey kid, what are you looking at?" Suddenly, as if sensing Ishikawa's fiery gaze, Tsunade turned around, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked in a cold voice.
"It's just appreciating the beauty of the world, don't be so petty, Lady Tsunade." Ishikawa spoke calmly without blinking, leaving Shizune speechless and horrified.
Does this guy even know who he's dealing with?
Judging from his attire, he's a Konoha Jonin, so he shouldn't be unaware of Lady Tsunade's existence!
"Really? So I'm the one who's stingy..." Just as Tsunade was about to explode at Ishikawa's teasing, she suddenly remembered something and smiled, her beauty captivating.
As she spoke, she even gave Ishikawa a flirtatious wink, and leaned forward slightly to make her ample bosom appear even more impressive!
"Uh……"
Instantly, Ishikawa's attention was drawn to this unexpected perk, and his gaze involuntarily lingered there...
Wait, is Tsunade really this attractive now??
[Damn it! Ishikawa-kun really is a pervert!!]
Seeing the scene before her, Nohara Rin gritted her teeth, cursing Ishikawa inwardly while looking at Tsunade with longing, her face flushed.
She's made up her mind; she's going to grow to a point where Ishikawa will look at her with new respect!
"Then, as my generous return, the compensation for this bet is yours, young man." Just as Nohara Rin was about to burst out, Tsunade smiled charmingly with half-closed eyes.
In the instant that Ishikawa was stunned again, he grabbed the briefcase with his left hand and pulled Shizune, whose expression was strange, with his right hand, and they ran away in a flash.
This sudden turn of events left not only Ishikawa and Rin bewildered, but also the gamblers, completely stunned and bewildered.
No, how can the money I've already lost just disappear on its own??
"Hmph, I'm going after Tsunade-sensei." Nohara Rin made up an excuse in a huff, glared at Ishikawa, and left quickly.
Her mission, besides gaining Tsunade's approval and inheriting her mantle, was to bring her back to Konoha to assist her teacher, the Fourth Hokage.
Now that Tsunade has run away, she has to chase after her, both for personal and professional reasons!
"Wait..." Ishikawa said subconsciously, and was about to chase after them when he was surrounded by the red-eyed gamblers.
"I'm sorry, you can't leave now."
"Fatty said you'll pay for the money she lost gambling!"
"That's right, that's hard-earned money that we worked so hard to earn, and it must be returned."
"Uh, isn't that a bit shameless? But then again, they are powerful ninjas from Konoha, so they probably won't renege on their debt!"
"Refuse to pay?" Ishikawa's eye twitched and he helplessly rubbed his forehead. "Of course not, that person is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha."
It's impossible to renege on the debt! Putting aside the negative impact, it would also be difficult to explain to Tsunade later.
Anyway, having just received 100 million yen in public funds from Kirigakure, Ishikawa wasn't intimidated by the Fourth Hokage's compensation.
Well, I accidentally experienced what it's like to be a whale (a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases)...
"Lady Tsunade, I'm not some bootlicking brat who'll clean up your messes." Money was used to quickly dismiss the gambler, and Ishikawa's eyes flickered as he watched Tsunade leave.
In the next instant, Ishikawa's right pupil rapidly formed a hand seal, and a blue-white fluorescent light burst out of his body and disappeared into the sky!
"What's this guy up to now? And I have to chase after him quickly, what a hassle." The Golden Beast's eyes flashed rapidly, and Shukaku, taking over the body, couldn't help but purse its lips.
However, in just a moment, Shukaku suddenly realized something, its beast eyes flashing with a strange, burning light.
This is supposed to be a past world where people don't interfere with each other!
So, should it try to persuade Ishikawa to go to Sunagakure?
Thinking of this, Shukaku immediately burst into full speed, chasing after Ishikawa with a burning passion in his heart.
Meanwhile, Tsunade was struck dumb as she watched the spirit of Ishikawa suddenly intrude into her mind!
