"Ah, I finally lost all my money. It seems like good luck will happen next."

At the entrance of the casino, Tsunade stretched her waist in a refreshing mood, with a very hearty smile on her face, as if she had encountered something great.

"I've never heard of losing money being linked to good luck..."

Shizune stood behind Tsunade, holding the pink piggy and complaining softly.

"Don't say that, Shizune, for me, losing money is inherently linked to good luck."

"Tsunade-sama, this kind of superstition is just accidental. You are the Sannin of Konoha, how can you believe such unreliable superstition?"

Shizune said righteously.

In her opinion, Tsunade's attribution of so-called luck to losing money is like looking at horoscopes. There is no credible fact as a basis.

What happened when I won money in the past was just pure chance.

"I know, then, let's go to the wine shop and have a couple of drinks, just in time to vent the sullenness that has accumulated in my heart recently."

Tsunade didn't pay attention to Shizune's rebuttal. Today she lost all the money she earned from winning the lottery a while ago. Judging from this situation, she will definitely not run into any trouble again in the near future.

"However, if you leave the village again without saying a word, the Hokage-sama will be quite dissatisfied."

Just like before, Tsunade, who had returned to Konoha before, left without saying a word again. Shizune was worried that the Hokage would be angry.

"An old man who is about to die, who cares whether he lives or lives?"

Tsunade said bluntly.

Shizune sighed, if she really didn't care about life or death, how could she have gone to a dangerous battlefield a while ago?

At the end of the day, it's just a mouth full of knives and a heart full of fuss.

Regarding this, Shizune will not expose it.

After following Tsunade for so many years, she has already figured out Tsunade's temperament.

Without thinking much, Shizune followed Tsunade to the izakaya.

This is Tsunade's unique habit. If she wins money, she will run away and move her position to the next place.

But if I lose money, I will find a nearby izakaya and indulge myself in drinking until I am exhausted.

If people knew that this was the true identity of the Sannin's master of medicine, their dreams would be completely shattered. Shizune thought in her heart.

In the izakaya, Tsunade was sitting alone in a remote corner and was getting drunk. Her cheeks began to turn red and her eyes became blurred. She seemed to be enjoying this rare peaceful time.

Shizune sat aside and just watched helplessly to prevent any accidents from happening to Tsunade.

Just thinking about this, Shizune heard the sound of footsteps in her ears, and her eyes shifted from Tsunade to look ahead.

Two men appeared in view, standing in front.

One of them is tall, has muscles all over his body, and has dark skin, which is completely different from the skin color of ordinary people.

This is the unique skin color of people from the Land of Thunder.

And... looking at the man behind the strong man, who was similar in age to himself and wearing the decoration of a Kumogakure ninja, Shizune's eyes suddenly became wary.

There is no doubt that these two people are Kumogakure ninjas, but they suddenly appeared here. I'm afraid they came with bad intentions.

Tsunade on the other side seemed not to see the two people in front of her. She was drinking alone and had no interest in observing anything around her.

Shizune, who was about to remind Tsunade, suddenly saw the Kumogakure ninja behind the strong man walking forward and bowing very respectfully to Tsunade:

"Hello, Tsunade-sama, I am Amayi, Kumogakure's medical jounin. I have taken the liberty to come here this time to ask for your help with something important."

Shizune was immediately stunned by the extremely respectful attitude.

Aren't these two Kumogakure ninjas here to cause trouble?

After all, the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure is not very good.

Not only because the two sides fought fiercely in the Third Ninja War, but most importantly, Kumogakure once sent a mission to Konoha. In order to get Hinata's eyes, he did not hesitate to frame the Hyuga clan with conspiracy. This is a despicable trick.

, still makes many Konoha ninjas feel angry.

"Oh, is it so?"

Tsunade seemed to have come to her senses, and glanced at Kumogakure Jounin Amayi, who was bowing to her with a very good attitude.

"Yes, my companion was injured for some reason, and with my medical ninjutsu, I cannot save him. I beg Tsunade-sama for help, please!"

After saying that, Amayi bowed deeply again, lowering his attitude very low.

"Having said that, as a Konoha ninja, I don't seem to have any obligation to help Kumogakure... Moreover, you Kumogakure did very excessive things to the Hyuga clan in the past."

If it was just a war, Tsunade would not have any prejudice against Kumogakure.

But when the armistice agreement was signed, Kumogakure was engaging in some shady plots in Konoha. This was the reason why Tsunade didn't like Kumogakure very much.

"In the Hinata incident, we, Kumogakure, are already reflecting on our mistakes, and I would like to apologize. This time, the matter really cannot be delayed. Please, Tsunade-sama, ignore the past grudges."

Ama Yi apologized sincerely.

Not only because I have something to ask for now, but also because I feel respected from the bottom of my heart for being able to have close contact with the legendary medical ninja.

Because there is no medical reform made by Tsunade, it is not known when medical ninjas like them, who are good at medical ninjutsu, will be reused by the village and become very important beings in the village.

Regardless of the enemy's position, Amayi could not tolerate any disrespectful gesture towards Tsunade.

"That's nice to say."

"Tsunade-sama..."

"Okay, Amayi, let me tell her."

The Fourth Raikage couldn't stand it any longer, so he walked in front of Amayi and stood still in front of Tsunade.

Looking at the drunken woman in front of me, I couldn't tell that she was a medical expert in the ninja world.

But he trusted Amayi's judgment.

Since Amayi believed that this woman had the ability to cure the explosive bugs in the body of her subordinate Karai, she could only come and ask Tsunade to help Kumogakure.

"Who are you……"

Tsunade raised her head and looked at the big man standing in front of her.

"Tsunade-sama, this is our Raikage-sama of Kumogakure."

Amay introduced Tsunade solemnly.

"That's really a big shot coming..."

Tsunade spoke calmly, but there was no hint of fear in the Raikage's tone.

Not paying attention to the sarcasm in Tsunade's tone, the Fourth Raikage took a deep breath and said, "I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense. I came here to ask you to treat an injured Kumogakure ninja."

"Do you think that's possible?"

Tsunade looked at the Fourth Raikage boredly.

"Ninjas follow strength and action. Now, let's prove it with strength. If I win, you must promise me to heal the injury of the Kumogakure ninja. If I lose, I will not bother you again. That's it.

At this point, I'll be waiting for you in the open space behind the wine house."

Before Tsunade could say anything, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and walked towards the outside of the pub, heading to the open space behind to wait for Tsunade to arrive and fight with her.

"What a troublesome and reckless brat..."

Tsunade looked at the back of the Fourth Raikage and whispered.

Still drinking alone, he didn't take the Fourth Raikage's words to heart at all.

"Um, Tsunade-sama, aren't you going to keep your appointment?"

Seeing that Tsunade had no intention of getting up, Shizune couldn't help but ask.

To be honest, the intimidating power of that Raikage was really terrifying.

Just standing there makes me feel breathless.

On the other hand, she was worried that if the other party fought with Tsunade, this peaceful town would be destroyed.

After all, for a ninja of Tsunade's level, it would be impossible to exert all her strength in a place like this, which would cause a large number of innocent casualties.

"Shizune, which of your ears heard that I agreed to his request for a duel? He is just being sentimental. I did not agree to a duel with him at all. Besides, what does the life and death of the Kumogakure ninja have to do with me? Drinking.

drink wine."

Tsunade said as she got excited and filled herself a glass again.

"I knew it was like this..."

Shizune was speechless for a moment.

After the Raikage knew the truth, he would be so angry that he would explode on the spot.

In the dark forest outside the town.

The five members of the Xuan Yuan family stood on the branches and looked at the peaceful night scene of the town.
