Chapter 155: MSIN: Chapter 154
---
The Land of Hot Springs is a small island nation. It's because of this environment surrounded by water on all sides that this country is a land that's rarely affected by war, even during the intense Third Shinobi World War.
The scenery here is beautiful, the resources are abundant, the average life expectancy is as high as 50 years, and the per capita living standard is comparable to that of a well-off family… Moreover, this country is particularly famous for its numerous hot springs. It can even be said to be one of the few paradises in the turbulent shinobi world.
There's a hidden ninja village called the Hot Springs Ninja Village within the country. Of course, it's just a small village with weak combat power. But there's a principle called "gold will always shine." This small village is actually the hometown of the famous missionary, Hidan.
It was wise of Tsunade to choose to stay here after leaving Konoha. And under the slug's guidance, Haori found her just right.
"This way."
Tsunade said, then led the way. She was still maintaining that eight-year-old appearance, but she walked with the momentum of an 80-year-old.
This is called "don't mess with me" and going forward.
"Tsunade-sama, where are we going?"
Haori asked dejectedly as he followed behind.
The White Night Demon needed a dozen medical ninjas at this time. He wasn't infatuated with the little girl. He had been beaten into a cripple by violence.
He had been careless and blinded by Tsunade's little girl appearance. He had forgotten that she was actually a violent person, so he had put his hand on the head of this greatest female ninja of the new era.
Then, Tsunade naturally took his hand away and faithfully played the role of a little girl who was trembling in fear of a villain – she tightly grasped Haori's two fingers.
Please note, tightly.
Haori brought his fingers to his eyes to confirm again. They were still red, purple, and black, swollen and quite painful.
How could he play the piano… form hand seals afterwards?
Fortunately, Tsunade-sama was quite measured. She only caused external injuries. She wouldn't really crush Haori's fingers into an explosive fracture.
But it was very painful.
So, although it looked serious, it could be recovered with a little treatment.
But it was very painful.
"First, don't call my name easily in this town…"
"Second, we're going to find Shizune. I just got separated from her."
Did you get separated? Did you run away?
"So, who were those people just now?"
Haori asked. Those ordinary people were indeed looking for Tsunade. They surrounded the little girl just to ask if she had seen the person in the photo.
After all, Tsunade had disappeared around a corner. So, they were looking for witnesses without asking any questions.
The thugs were also very miserable. They had never seen anyone who dared to openly escape their debts.
After Haori and Tsunade saw the photo of Tsunade and said they hadn't seen her, these people left. This made Haori breathe a sigh of relief. At least, he didn't have to use 100,000 volts on these ordinary people.
"People from the casino…" Tsunade replied. Then, she added, "As for which casino, I don't know."
The legendary fat sheep is constantly creating new legends.
The truth was, as expected, Haori hadn't been surprised… But how many casinos do you owe money to?
The answer was all the casinos on this island.
"This is the place."
As Haori was estimating Tsunade's debt index, she stopped in front of a tavern.
This was where she and Shizune had agreed to meet if they got separated. It was clear that she had been in this country for a while. She was quite familiar with the town.
"Tsunade-sama!"
Shizune was already waiting there.
"Shh, didn't I tell you not to call my name for now?"
Tsunade-sama was still a little guilty, and according to this, she would have to stay in her current form for now. She would hide for as long as she could.
"Sorry, Tsun… -sama, huh?"
Shizune's gaze fell on Haori, who was following behind her.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Haori's recognition index was always very high. Because compared to a year ago, he had simply been scaled up proportionally. He had evolved from a life-sized figure to a 1:106 figure.
"Haori… What are you doing here?"
"This… it's a long story. Anyway, you need to treat me first."
Haori sat down opposite Shizune before speaking. At the same time, he raised one of his hands towards Shizune.
He didn't dare to go to the perpetrator for treatment.
Tsunade-sama didn't pay any attention to the injury on Haori's hand. She had been chased for debts all morning and was now hungry. So, she directly called the waiter to order food. She would fill her stomach first.
But unfortunately, with her current transformation, she couldn't drink alcohol.
Shizune felt that Haori's injury looked quite serious and began to examine him immediately.
"Your injury… how did it happen? It's very measured. Although it looks serious, it's actually not a big deal." Soon, Shizune made her diagnosis. This was a kind of crazy injury.
In terms of age, Shizune was the same age as Haori. Although her medical ninjutsu wasn't comparable to Tsunade's at this time, she had already reached a certain level.
After all, she had Tsunade as her mentor. She couldn't help but improve.
So, her judgment was very accurate.
Haori's face twitched. It seemed like he was recalling the pain. To avoid experiencing such a thing again, he stated a truth that couldn't be refuted: "I fell and got this injury."
"…"
Shizune was speechless. How could you fall and get this kind of injury? It was clearly pinched by something violent. Wait… violence?
She glanced at Tsunade-sama beside her. She vaguely understood something.
But Shizune's glance wasn't a good thing. What Tsunade was doing almost made her jump.
She quickly leaned close to Tsunade's ear and whispered, "Tsunade-sama, you're over budget!"
One of the legendary Sannin, being chased by casinos all over the place, and now she wanted to eat for free?
Because of Tsunade's bad gambling, this duo was extremely poor. They had to be frugal when eating.
Tsunade didn't care. "Don't worry. Someone who just received a lot of mission money is paying. He's treating us."
Then, she said to Haori, "Haori, medical treatment requires payment, right?"
"… I understand."
Haori was shocked. Tsunade-sama actually had such business acumen. She broke her fingers, and then her disciple treated her and then charged money.
One-stop service?
But it didn't matter. What mattered was that Tsunade's words seemed to be hinting at something, like, she had just received a lot of mission money.
"Shizune, check this kid's injuries again later."
Tsunade's words made Shizune stunned. Did Haori still have injuries?
The answer was yes, he had quite a few.
"The news that's spreading outside, did you do it?" Tsunade asked Haori directly. In fact, she had basically confirmed it.
"Kushina's disciple"? Tsunade could guess who it was. And only Haori would yell like that and reveal his name.
Now, Haori was in the Land of Hot Springs, not far from the Land of Lightning. Considering the time, it made even more sense.
Haori nodded, not saying anything. It wasn't surprising that Tsunade could guess this.
At this time, Shizune had already started treating him. The swelling on Haori's hand was disappearing at a visible rate.
This wasn't because Shizune's skills were good. It was mainly because Tsunade's skills were good.
"Jiraiya has also fallen. He actually sent a little brat like you to carry out this kind of mission."
After Haori's confirmation, Tsunade said disdainfully.
Was she resentful?
It was probably an extension of her dissatisfaction with Konoha.
But how did she know that this was Jiraiya's mission?
Haori felt that he should say a good word for Jiraiya:
"It's probably because I can fly. I can quickly escape the battlefield when it's crucial. The danger isn't…"
But his words were interrupted by Tsunade. "No, it's just because your jutsu happens to work on certain ninjas."
Okay, she made a good point.
