Chapter 171: Ticking (I)

"I said, lecherous fairy, is the person you are looking for here, we have been looking for all morning, and we haven't even seen a shadow, I'm tired to death."

Under the blazing sun, Naruto was sweating profusely, drooping and looking tired like a dog, and whining at Jiraiya.

The four of them arrived at Short Book Street in the morning, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and they had been searching for hours, but there was still no clue from Tsunade.

Despite its name, it is actually a small town, and it is not an ordinary town, but there is a magnificent castle in the center of the town, which is said to have been the fief of a daimyo of a small country long ago.

Later, due to the war, the daimyo country was destroyed, and the short book town was incorporated into the land of fire, but the daimyo of the country of fire did not send a new lord and allowed it to develop freely, and eventually it became a place where commerce flourished.

Because of this, although the scale of the short book street is not as large as that of Konoha Village, it is much larger than other ordinary towns, and the flow of people is also very high, with thousands of people living in the town all year round, and it can even reach nearly 10,000 people at the peak of the flow of people.

With such a large number of people, it was obviously not easy to find Tsunade, even if they had already targeted casinos and taverns to find, but they still found nothing.

Jiraiya glanced at Naruto, who was grumbling, and said angrily, "Naruto, didn't I tell you?" The so-called ninja, the most important thing is endurance, but this little time is nothing. ”

Naruto reluctantly replied, "Got it, I'll just keep looking." ”

Actually, to be serious, the physical strength required to find someone is nothing to Naruto, and it is not worth mentioning compared to cultivating the Spiral Pill, Naruto is mainly tired of being like this, and he would rather practice for a day than waste time here.

After giving Naruto a big explanation, Jiraiya, who seemed to be very calm on the surface, was also a little anxious in his heart.

If Tsunade really wasn't here anymore, it would have taken much longer to find her, and now Konoha didn't have that much time to wait for him to look for her.

Compared to Naruto's impatience and Jiraiya's anxiety, Sakura and Kaori, who were in the same company, were much more relaxed, and the two of them were constantly talking and laughing, which was in stark contrast to Naruto and Jiraiya.

Sakura would be like this because she knew that Tsunade must be gambling on a corner of Shortbook Street right now, so there was nothing to worry about.

Although Sakura didn't know how much time it took Naruto and Jiraiya to reach the Short Book Street in the original book, it was definitely much slower than they are now, because there was no one to guide Naruto in the original book, so he didn't succeed in controlling the Spiral Pill until he arrived at the Short Book Street.

Not to mention that Tsunade will stay here for at least a week after meeting Orochimaru, so there is nothing to worry about at all.

As for Xiang Phosphorus, it's because she doesn't care much about this matter, she originally used it to make up the numbers, and she has only been in Konoha for a few days, and she doesn't have a sense of belonging to Konoha either, and she doesn't know much about the meaning of whether Tsunade can succeed to the position of Hokage, so she naturally won't be anxious.

......

On one street, two women walked one after the other.

The woman in front of her was full of depression, waved a fist, and said through gritted teeth, "Really, I lost so much money today, damn it, that boss must be out of the thousands, otherwise how could I not win once, yes, that's it, I must smash his casino when I go back." ”

"Tsunade-sama, please don't wronged others, that boss just now was just an ordinary person, if he cheated, how could he hide it from your eyes."

The silence in the back silently complained, "Blaming others for all your losses, it's too capricious for you to say that." ”

Tsunade turned around, "Hmph, I said he's out of a thousand or out of a thousand, mute, do you have any opinions?" ”

"No, how can I have an opinion about Tsunade-sama about you." Looking at the wayward Tsunade, Shizune had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and follow the other party's words.

Seeing this, Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.

Of course, she knew that it was impossible for the other party to cheat in front of her, and the reason why she said this was just to vent the depression in her heart, and it was impossible for her to really smash the other party's store.

How can she also be one of the legendary three ninjas, this bit of gambling is still available, and she is willing to gamble and lose, and will never bargain.

But if she loses too much, she really has no money, then there is no way, she can only find a way to slip away, of course she will not repay the debt, and she will definitely pay it back when she has money in the future, as for when she will have money, then only God knows.

As he walked along the road, Tsunade's eyes suddenly lit up, and his footsteps stopped in front of a slot machine shop.

The business of Short Book Street is very developed, so there are many places to gamble money, and this kind of shop is also one of them.

"Oops, hug, sorry." Shizune had been following Tsunade all the time, thinking about Tsunade in her head, and she was slightly distracted, but she suddenly bumped into Tsunade's body, and hurriedly bent down to apologize.

"Huh? Tsunade-sama, why did you stop? Shizune looked up, only to realize that it was entirely Tsunade's own fault that he had been hit.

"Mute, how much money do we have?" Tsunade didn't answer Mute's question, she looked at the other and asked with a blazing gaze.

"And a few hundred taels." Mute subconsciously replied, and after speaking, she found that Tsunade had stretched out his arm towards her.

Shizune asked a little dazedly, "Tsunade-sama, what are you doing here......"

Before she finished speaking, she noticed that she was standing in front of a slot machine shop, and after being stunned for a second, Tsunade's true intentions were instantly reflected in her mind, and she immediately covered her wallet vigilantly, and shouted, "No! ”

......

"Tsunade-sama, shall we get out of here?" In the slot machine shop, looking at Tsunade sitting steadily in front of the slot machine, Mute was about to cry.

Although she strongly objected, at Tsunade's insistence, the two eventually stepped into the store.

"This is already our last money, if you lose these few hundred taels again, then we will definitely be kicked out by the innkeeper, and then we will not even have a place to sleep."

After hearing this, Tsunade waved his hand unconcernedly, and said with a relaxed face, "Anla, mute, don't worry, I have a hunch that I will definitely win this time." ”

But she didn't even believe a word in her words.

Since the age of thirteen with Tsunade to leave Konoha,(There is no specific time for Tsunade to leave,But Mute is a thirteen-year-old promotion in the ninja.,It's impossible to be promoted outside) Mute has been living a life of exile.,It's okay at first.,Tsunade has a large amount of property.,Plus both of them are ninjas.,They won't be bullied.,So life is very comfortable.。

But the good life lasted less than a year before it ended, because Tsunade was too good to lose!

The Senju clan has accumulated a family fortune for an unknown number of years, and almost all of them have been lost by Tsunade except for real estate in Konoha.

In the end, Tsunade even borrowed Mute's pocket money.

Every time I think of the time when I naively believed that Tsunade said that I would definitely win and give the money to the other party, Shizune has a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

In the more than ten years of following Tsunade, most of the two of them have been in a state of debt avoidance, and fortunately, although Tsunade's name is very famous, there are not many people who have really seen her outside of Konoha, otherwise it is estimated that the debt collector will go to block the door of Konoha.

"Let's go!" Tsunade slammed the button and started the slot machine, which also means that things have become irreversible, and the silent next to him saw this scene with a dead face, as if he had seen the tragic situation of himself trembling on the street in the middle of the night.

The pattern of the slot machine changed quickly, Mute closed her eyes, she didn't dare to look at the final result, and at the same time she frantically prayed to the gods in her heart, but she knew that it was just useless, in the more than ten years she had followed Tsunade, she had never seen Tsunade win, not even once!

After a long time, the silence was a little strange, because she didn't hear Tsunade's voice, and according to the convention, Tsunade would always say a few words in frustration after losing.

Could it be ......

When she opened her eyes, she saw Tsunade sitting in a chair in a daze.

Seeing Tsunade in a daze, Mute turned his gaze to the slot machine, and what caught his eye was the three eye-catching numbers on the slot machine.

777

Shizune looked at the slot machine in disbelief, she reached out and rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then pinched her leg hard, and then looked carefully, the numbers on the slot machine still did not change.

And, with a rattling sound, a large number of coins were spit out by the slot machine.

It's not dazzling, it's not dreaming, Tsunade-sama, she, really won!

"yes, that's great, Tsunade-sama, you've hit the jackpot, we're rich!" Shizun cheered excitedly, and the pet pig guinea pig in her arms also hummed excitedly.

But Tsunade looked at this scene, but her face did not show a happy expression, but became solemn, she looked at the slot machine in front of her, and her expression was a little dazed.

The memories in her mind began to slowly rewind back to the past.

The last time I won, it seems like a long time ago, yes, it's been decades.

But that day was unusually clear in her mind, and every picture was still fresh in her memory.

Because, the day she won last time...... Broken just passed away that day.

I don't know why, but a hint of foreboding appeared in Tsunade's heart.
