Naruto: Reborn With Combat Simulation Space

Kazuki sincerely advised, "Nawaki will grow taller, and besides, 1.78 meters isn't short anymore."

"Orochimaru, well, okay, he is almost 1.8 meters tall."

"Actually, nearly half of the adult men in the Uchiha clan haven't reached 1.78 meters."

"So there's no need for you to worry too much."

"Moreover, height has nothing to do with strength. Hokage-sama isn't particularly tall either, but that doesn't affect his strength."

"I hope so. My parents aren't short, and my grandpa was very tall too."

Tsunade sighed helplessly. "If he's too short, it'll be hard for him to find a partner later."

Kazuki said, "You don't need to worry about that, do you? Being a bit short or a bit ugly actually doesn't matter."

"As long as Nawaki grows up, he'll have strength, he'll have background, he'll have money..."

Speaking of money, Kazuki glanced at Tsunade uncertainly, as if it would be very difficult for Nawaki to have money. No amount of money would be enough for Tsunade to squander alone.

Maybe it's better not to harm other people's daughters.

With Nawaki's personality, it's quite normal for him to be a mama's boy.

He's been graduated for over half a year, and it's said that all his salary has been taken by Tsunade, leaving him no money even for snacks.

With Tsunade's wasteful habits, even a young lady from the Daimyo's Mansion might not dare to marry Nawaki.

Kazuki remembered many transmigrators who, upon arriving in the Ninja World, made Tsunade their primary target.

Regarding this, he wanted to say that they were very brave, the kind who weren't afraid of going bankrupt.

Putting everything else aside, even Kazuki himself had been asked for money by Tsunade. Fortunately, he held his ground and didn't lend money to Tsunade, otherwise, that money would definitely be gone.

Tsunade is indeed very good at making money, no doubt, but her rate of squandering is far greater than her rate of earning.

Seemingly sensing Kazuki's strange gaze, Tsunade looked at Kazuki with dissatisfaction and said, "What do you mean by that? Nawaki is still young, and he shouldn't keep money on him. I'm doing this for Nawaki's own good."

"Alright, alright, you're doing it for his good."

Kazuki silently mourned for Nawaki for a moment but didn't say much more. It's better for a friend to die than for me to be poor. Tsunade should just continue to torment Nawaki.

"Hmph!"

Tsunade snorted softly, deciding not to talk to Kazuki anymore. She had figured it out. Kazuki wouldn't fund her gambling, he was heartless.

It's better to build a good relationship with Rinka. Kushina is also out of the question, as she would tell grandma about her gambling, unlike Rinka who doesn't treat money as money.

…

"Tsunade-sama, we entrust our safety to you."

Tsunade lived up to her name, she commanded respect wherever she went.

Not to mention her status as the Konoha princess recognized by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, her identity as Konoha's top medical ninja was also acknowledged by many nobles.

As wealthy individuals, they naturally hoped to have a good doctor treat them when they fell ill or were injured. Befriending Tsunade might save their lives in the future.

In many people's hearts, they would rather offend Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, than offend Tsunade.

"No need to worry, you've paid us. And thank you for your trust in the Land of Fire."

Tsunade waved her hand, signaling them to get into the carriage quickly, as they still had to travel.

In this world, the status of nobles is very high, although sometimes, Kazuki doesn't understand why these defenseless ordinary people have so many relatively strong individuals willing to die for them.

During the Great Ninja Wars, it was usually ninjas who participated, rarely affecting nobles.

Just like during the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Mei, the Mizukage, still needed to protect the Daimyo.

For such useless existences, why not just let them die?

If the ninjas showed a little indifference, perhaps the Akatsuki and White Zetsu wouldn't care about these people at all.

These nobles also kept some ninja and samurai. There were fewer than ten nobles, but they had hundreds of guards, and many carriages transporting vast amounts of wealth.

Putting everything else aside, even Kazuki's group was given a carriage for their movements.

"Do you think those people will make a move?" Inside the carriage, Kazuki suddenly asked Tsunade.

Rinka quickly looked at Tsunade. This matter concerned the true purpose of their outing.

She was risking her life with Tsunade. If Tsunade wasn't willing to tell them the truth now, then this teacher would be a bit too unreliable.

"What does that mean? Is another village going to attack these nobles?" Kushina looked at Kazuki with some suspicion.

"No, we are the biggest bait." Kazuki shook his head slightly, his gaze deepening.

"Ever since we left Konoha, many ninja have been following us, most of them Anbu members."

"They are not here to protect these people, but to protect us."

"If other villages knew about our squad's situation, they would probably target us too."

"Us?" Kushina blinked.

"No wonder Grandma Mito told me to be careful. So this is what it was about."

"But why are there still people holding ill will towards us? And they're very close."

"Oh? Kushina, you sensed it?" Tsunade quickly asked Kushina.

Mito had the ability to detect others' good or ill will towards her, so could it be that Kushina had also mastered it?

"Grandma Mito left a trace of Chakra on me earlier, and I can do it now." Kushina scratched her head.

She opened the carriage curtain and pointed to a tree not far away, saying, "There's one on that tree."

Kazuki's mind stirred, he hadn't sensed anything. Combined with Kushina's sensory abilities, it was clearly a power of the Nine-Tails.

He quickly thought of a possibility—White Zetsu!

Since they were already out, then let the Ninja World become even more chaotic.

He pulled out a kunai and, following Kushina's direction, threw it towards the tree.

Just as the kunai was about to pierce the tree, a white phantom emerged from the tree, dodging the kunai.

"This is?"

Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted. Even she had never seen such a strange person.

Without waiting for others to react, Kazuki's figure flashed, and he appeared before White Zetsu, swinging the Sword of the Thunder God to stab at White Zetsu.
