Chapter 259: Broken Reputation
ββ¦β¦β
The atmosphere in the casino, from the bustle of a vegetable market, to the silence and silence that can be heard clearly even if a needle is dropped on the ground, only takes less than a minute......
After all, the outcome of the conflict between the mercenary brothers, who were previously regarded as invincible by gamblers, and Tsunade, a "weak" "vase", was too unexpected for everyone.
As a big brother, almost in an instant, his sturdy body, which was far superior to ordinary people, was knocked away by Tsunade's strange force, and he collapsed directly through the wall and fell to the ground. I haven't seen it move yet, and I don't know if it's dead or alive. Only the fresh, conspicuous humanoid holes in the walls that are still dropping debris and debris can prove to everyone that what has just happened is real and exists.
But if you compare it to his brother...... Well, to some extent, being directly beaten unconscious by Tsunade is quite a happy thing.
No, no, the other mercenary who had been attacked not only flew upside down, but also crashed through the wall, letting out a bitter howl far more desperate and sharp than his brother. Just subconsciously, the body was still in the air, so he immediately clamped his legs and covered his crotch with both hands. And the moment he landed, his eyes rolled and his mouth foamed, and he kept twitching like an electric shock, which was enough to make all the male compatriots present feel the hallucinatory pain. He couldn't help but protect his fragile little brother, so much so that when Tsunade seemed to look around rather unhappily, looking for the next "warrior". This group of fierce gamblers who scold and scold on weekdays suddenly looked like little white rabbits, looking very tame and well-behaved, and no one dared to meet Tsunade!
"Oh? Is this already over? I thought you were going to have a good fight with me......"
After looking around the whole audience, no one dared to seek their own death, and the corners of Tsunade's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer of contempt and disdain. Immediately, he didn't bother to deal with these irrelevant innocent gamblers, and turned to slowly approach the mercenary brothers who were driven to the same place under his own intentional control. While watching for a while, making sure that the two of them could at least guarantee that they would not die if they were left behind, they continued to talk with little interest.
"Tsk, you dare to take the initiative to provoke me, and you think it's such a powerful character...... As a result, I just gave a punch, and I couldn't bear it? Without beating like this, are you two worthy of being called men? β
And after hearing Tsunade's disdainful sneer, because he knew that he would never be able to beat the other party, he dared not speak out, so that the men in the casino, even if they had nothing to do with the mercenary brothers. couldn't help but shed tears of humiliation in the whispers.
"Big sister...... Are you the devil......"
"Such a terrible strange force hit there again...... It's not a question of whether a man is a man or not, but whether he can continue to be a man, right?! β
"What are you kidding...... What normal person can eat this?! β
Of course, no matter what the people around him say about him, even if the complaints get louder and louder, so that they clearly reach Tsunade's ears. Tsunade, who doesn't care about other people's eyes, and is in a state of anxiety and anxiety, still seems to be deaf to it, and doesn't show any pity and sympathy. On the contrary, in the previous look, he used his keen observation power as a ninja. From the similar behavior of the people around him, he identified the "mastermind" who instructed the mercenary brothers to find trouble for himβthe thin and obscene man whose legs trembled like chaff when Tsunade approached intentionally or unintentionally.
And after closing the distance a little closer to observe the thin man more closely. The look of disdain and disgust on Tsunade's face became even more exuberant.
There was no other reason than that the thin man had witnessed the tragic fate of the mercenary brothers from the perspective of a bystander. Before Tsunade could make any moves at him, his pants were gradually soaked with a dark stain of water between the bent crotch guards, and a disgusting stench emanated from them......
Obviously, when Tsunade approached him, the slender man had already deduced that Tsunade knew the truth of what he had done. And in front of the miserable appearance of the two mercenary brothers, he thought of the tragic end he might face. I was so scared that my legs trembled violently, and I involuntarily became incontinent!
"Oh? When I gambled before, I really couldn't see it...... Even you, a timid and scared short man, dare to beat my idea? β
With a slight frown, Tsunade raised his hand and pinched the wings of his nose tightly to isolate the stench that was gradually spreading. As he continued to move closer to the person, he shook his head slightly in disappointment.
"I thought this was the trouble I was about to get into...... Now it seems that I am overestimating you. β
Not only did the mercenary brothers take the initiative to cause trouble, although they seem to be fierce and vicious, but in fact they are not the slightest threat. Even the mastermind behind all this is just an ordinary casino "childcare...... Such a big contrast naturally made Tsunade, who was always vigilant by the previous abnormal winning streak warning, feel disappointed and dissatisfied.
After all, this level of minor trouble was not uncommon in Tsunade's previous gambling career, but it had long been commonplace...... So much so that no matter how deeply Tsunade thinks about it, an accident of this magnitude should not make Tsunade appear such an exaggerated warning signal.
"Tsk...... In other words, my bad luck isn't over yet, or has it not started at all? It's really unpleasant to know that something bad is going to happen, but you can't predict it......
Thinking of this, Tsunade whispered to himself quite unpleasantly, and subconsciously tilted his head a little. Looking not far away, the silent figure who had obviously been used to it after making a big fuss had made a big fuss, so that he was still patiently sorting out and exchanging chips like a nobody.
"Sure enough, I shouldn't have come to this casino in the first place...... While nothing big is happening, wait until Mute finishes exchanging chips and leave quickly. β
Of course, it is said that it is so, but for those who dare to provoke themselves without knowing whether they are alive or dead......
Tsunade, who is already hot-tempered, naturally won't let them go so easily.
"You...... What do you want to do? Other...... Stay back...... You, you, you...... Come here again, I'm going to call?! β
"No...... No...... Stop, please! Other! Ya Butterfly ββ! β
Because of this, in this casino, which maintained an extremely quiet state, it was not long before a desperate and helpless bass voice was heard that it was comparable to a woman from a good family who was about to be violated and bullied, and was full of crying.
Well...... If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, probably just passers-by who heard this passage would have mistakenly thought that this thin man was raped by someone......
And at this time, not far from the casino, near a well-done bathhouse.
A greasy middle-aged man with gray hair was sneezing frequently......
"Hello! Hello! Huh...... Yes...... Ha ha...... Helloββ! β
Perhaps it was because he had witnessed the tragic situation of the mercenary brothers before, and heard about Jiraiya's "glorious achievements" from Tsunade, so that the care and willingness of the gamblers who silently prayed for Jiraiya were too strong. It made Jiraiya feel an inexplicable itch on the wings of his nose, and he sneezed uncontrollably one after another.
"Uhh......hh Ahem...... It's weird, why did you react so much all at once...... Surely which beautiful woman is missing me? Well, it must be so......"
After a few loud sneezes in a row, not only did the snot drip down, but also the Jiraiya who was almost choked with tears came out, and the image suddenly became quite funny. Then he couldn't care less about continuing his stealing...... After taking the great cause, he hurriedly cleaned up his appearance, squinted slightly, and muttered to himself quite narcissistically.
"Oops, no way, it's too handsome, it's just trouble...... No matter how far away I am, there are always beautiful women who think about me~"
However, when I talk to myself too optimistically, I forget one important thing......
In order to ensure that when taking materials, the perspective can be achieved without blind spots, and the perspective can be seen clearly enough. After all kinds of comparisons and searches, the location where Jiraiya is now is only separated by a wall from the steaming women's bathhouse. In addition, it is not yet afternoon, so the number of people bathing in the bathhouse is much lower than normal hours. Even the environment in the bathhouse is much quieter. So much so that the abrupt continuous sneezing of Jiraiya, under the blessing of the empty environment of the bathhouse, suddenly attracted the attention of the young ladies who were enjoying the fun of bathing.
"Babbleββ! Satyr! β
"Hey! You guy! What are you doing crouching on it?! β
"There it is! A perverted uncle who often peeps at the women's bathhouse that has been circulating recently! β
"Someone! Come on! β
Guided by Jiraiya's sneezing, the young ladies in the bathhouse naturally discovered the figure of Jiraiya, which was originally well hidden. And in front of the squinting expression that appeared on Jiraiya's face, he thought of his smooth body, and it was very likely that he had been seen by the white-haired uncle in front of him. The faces of the women present subconsciously became red-faced, and they involuntarily sounded a chaotic and noisy soprano!
"What? Pervert? Where, where? β
"What? Someone spying on my baby granddaughter taking a bath? Who is it?! If you have a kind, stand up for me! I promise to discount your third leg! β
"Don't be afraid, girl! There's a mom, ah...... Dare to beat my daughter's idea, my mother will definitely let this pervert go around without eating! β
And this was enough to penetrate the walls of the bathhouse and resound the screams of terror throughout the street. It was even more in a stunned state that attracted the attention of the surrounding residents. So much so that before Jilai could react, many aunts and uncles with sticks spontaneously emerged. And in the midst of shouting and roaring angrily, he searched around for the location of Jiraiya.
"Huh? Huh? I'm ...... Discovered?! β
In the face of the young ladies in the women's bathhouse, they blushed with grief and indignation, and invariably projected a cold sharp eye knife at Jiraiya. and the uncles and aunts scolding, and the monstrous anger that gradually spread. Rao is a powerful strength that is one of the three ninjas of Konoha with Jiraiya, and he can't help but feel a tingling scalp for a while.
Of course, it's not that in the case that Jiraiya himself is at the top of the power class of the Hokage World - a shadow-level powerhouse, this group of uncles and aunts armed with sticks can pose any threat to Jiraiya's life - in fact, if you put aside all factors and do it in a real way. I'm afraid that on the basis of the existing number of people, it will be increased by more than ten times, and it can be killed without much effort. It can be said that there is no threat at all - and the reason why Jiraiya feels numb in his scalp is because he knows that he is at a loss!
After all, even if it is labeled as covering one's ears and stealing bells, peeping into the women's bathhouse is still despised.
And once the matter is revealed, you will meet someone who happens to know you...... Obviously, the mysterious and cold image of one of the three ninjas of Konoha that Jiraiya has worked so hard to maintain will completely collapse and destroy in an instant! Even because of the image of the Konoha Ninja Village, his teacher, who regards the image of the village and the safety of his life, can't bear it anymore, and he comes forward to teach himself a lesson, which is definitely not impossible!
It is precisely because of the clear understanding of this matter that every time Jiraiya acts, it is as if he is carrying out a highly confidential infiltration mission, and he is cautious to the point of almost perfection. So much so that if it weren't for the unexpected sneezing before, the location of Jiraiya was exposed. It can be said that so far, Jiraiya's "material" behavior has not missed once!
"Shh......h Hush! No...... No, you...... Listen to me, I'm not peeping, I'm just taking ......."
Thinking of this, Jiraiya hurriedly packed up the props of the "materials", and as if he was dying, he faced the cold light of the Tao that was always staring at him in the bathhouse, and tried to justify himself in a pale and weak manner.
"Dad! Mother! I see him! That guy is on the roof outside the bathhouse! β
"On the roof...... Aha! Finally let Lao Tzu find you! β
"Okay, good, yes, hiding in this kind of place, no wonder I didn't find it......"
"Chase! Don't let that guy run away! β
It's a pity that he didn't wait for the words to finish his mouth. The crowd of people who were searching closely below were in the action mode of looking around with the bathhouse as the center. After a short time, it was easy to find Jiraiya. Then the crowd began to diverge - either flanking and surrounding, or going upstairs to chase and intercept - methodically trying to capture Jiraiya.
"Tsk, it's really a blood loss now...... Obviously, it was not easy to come across a place with good 'material', and it was exposed so quickly......"
In the face of ironclad facts, it is obviously impossible to convince the young ladies in the bathhouse to believe that they are taking materials. In addition, the hiding place has been discovered, and after the chase has begun. The corners of Jiraiya's mouth twitched violently, and he hurriedly looked around to identify it a little, and then began to flee in embarrassment towards the pre-planned escape route.
"Forget it, before the matter is too big, let's get out of the way...... If someone sees this face and recognizes it, it will be a big mess! β
And I don't know if it was a coincidence or some kind of fate in the dark......
Jiraiya's escape route happened to lead to the casino where Tsunade was......
In addition, just as Jilai was chased and intercepted by angry residents, he fled in embarrassment.
"White hair, oily forehead guard, and a huge scroll on his back......"
In a dilapidated alley that is inaccessible, a white-haired boy wearing black round-rimmed glasses is constantly staring at the back of Zilai who is gradually moving away with a suspicious gaze. Dumbfounded, he muttered in disbelief.
"Just kidding...... If there is nothing wrong with the information that Danzo-sama gave me, and this is not a coincidence......"
"That'...... That pervert who peeps at the women's bathhouse...... Only...... It is one of the legendary three ninjas of our Konoha Ninja Village...... Jiraiya-sama?! β
