Night was falling.
The time came to nine o'clock in the evening.
Kitazawa and Shizune finished their surgeries and returned home together.
"What did you say?"
Shizune, her anger blazing, demanded, "Lady Tsunade didn't come back tonight? Damn it! She lied to me!"
"She didn't have any money on her, so she probably didn't go back to the casino."
Kitazawa explained.
"Hard to say."
Shizune took a deep breath and said, "With her status, it would be easy for her to borrow money."
"That's true."
Kitazawa asked, somewhat amused, "What should we do now?"
"Go and bring her back!"
Shizune clenched her fists and said fiercely.
"Then let's split up. You go find an izakaya, and I'll go find a casino."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.
He knew the two casinos Tsunade frequented, but he wasn't so sure about the izakaya.
"Yes, you've thought of everything."
Shizune nodded and said.
"Wait for us to come back."
Kitazawa exchanged a glance with Kurenai Yuhi, then turned and left.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the nearest casino.
The casinos in the ninja world look quite modern, with the usual gambling tables and electric slot machines.
Kitazawa glanced around and spotted Tsunade in the corner.
She was sitting in front of a slot machine, intently watching the patterns scrolling on the screen.
"what!"
Tsunade looked at the three completely different patterns and immediately covered her head with her hands.
"Lady Tsunade, you have to pay for breaking the slot machine."
Kitazawa stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Kitazawa?"
Tsunade paused for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his wrist excitedly and pulled him over.
Caught off guard, Kitazawa bumped into her soft and fleshy body.
"Sit down properly."
Tsunade put her arm around his shoulder and said, "Give me the money you have on you."
Kitazawa struggled to tear his gaze from the necklace in the snow-capped mountains and looked at the slot machine in front of him.
Having lived two lives, this was his first time playing a slot machine.
But I've seen quite a few in movies and TV shows in my past life.
"Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Let's talk about it after we've finished gambling, no rush."
Tsunade glared at him and said, "As long as I win, I'll take care of everything for you!"
"..."
Kitazawa twitched the corner of his mouth.
By the time you win, Yakushi Nonou will have already gone to the Pure Land to see the Sage of Six Paths!
How much did you lose?
Kitazawa suddenly thought of a solution and asked.
"Not much, two hundred thousand taels."
Tsunade said confidently, "As long as you lend me the money, I can win it back quickly."
"How about we make a bet?"
Bei Ze blinked and said, "If I can win back these 200,000 taels, you'll do me a favor."
Although he may not necessarily win it back, his chances are still greater than Tsunade's.
Besides, he must be lucky, since even the legendary system managed to select him.
"And what if you didn't win it back?"
Tsunade released her hand because she realized they had just been too intimate.
The stools in front of the slot machines are designed for one person to sit on, so it's inevitable that it will be crowded for two people.
"I'll give you two hundred thousand taels."
Kitazawa replied.
"can."
Tsunade thought about it and felt that she couldn't lose out either way, so she agreed.
Kitazawa exhaled and clapped his hands.
May the venerable Hongjun, God, Buddha, Flying Noodles, Emperor, and the System bless you!
After Kitazawa finished praying, he inserted coins into the slot machine.
The slot machine started, and the patterns on the screen began to scroll.
Tsunade subconsciously leaned forward.
Kitazawa tilted his head slightly, and you could see his fair and tender skin.
The slot machine suddenly jolted.
The scrolling pattern stopped; it showed three sevens.
Splash!
A large number of coins rolled out.
"bingo!"
Tsunade excitedly raised her hand and patted Kitazawa on the back.
With each movement, her clothes were constantly in motion.
"What are you looking at?"
Tsunade noticed his gaze, patted him again, and said, "Don't just stand there, keep going!"
She was in a state of excitement and didn't pay attention to Kitazawa taking advantage of her.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa continued inserting coins.
Tsunade was very happy to have been hit once.
But after Kitazawa won seven times in a row, she fell into deep doubt.
"How come you're so lucky?"
Tsunade asked, puzzled.
"do not know."
Kitazawa spread his hands and said, "Luck is just so unreasonable."
"That's true."
Tsunade stood up, her tea-green jacket emblazoned with the word "gamble" fluttering in the wind, and exclaimed excitedly, "Today we're going to win big!"
Kitazawa felt that the background music from "God of Gamblers" should be played at this moment.
The moon is at its zenith.
Tsunade held a huge pile of money, grinning from ear to ear.
This was the first time she had ever won so much playing slot machines.
Of course, to be more precise, it wasn't her who won, but Kitazawa who won.
"Speak, what do you want?"
Tsunade crossed her legs, her high-heeled sandals swaying slightly, her exposed toes painted red, looking quite vibrant.
"Nonou-senpai said she has taken on a mission and will be going to the Land of Earth next week."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then spoke.
Why would they send a medical ninja so far on a mission?
Tsunade immediately sensed something was wrong. "Was this a mission assigned by the old man?"
"Nonou-senpai didn't say, but it's probably not true."
Kitazawa replied, "If it was the Hokage who assigned it, she wouldn't need to hide it."
"Shimura Danzo!"
Tsunade's expression darkened, and her eyes became terrifying. "Nonou used to be a Root ninja, but she has now left Root."
Kitazawa breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tsunade had guessed the truth.
Of course, we have to thank Shimura Danzo for all the bad things he did; otherwise, Tsunade wouldn't have thought of him first.
"I'll go see the old man tomorrow."
Tsunade snorted and said, "It's a waste to send such an excellent medical ninja like Nono to a mission!"
"Lady Tsunade, I think this is inappropriate."
Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Nonou-senpai left Root but still has to carry out missions for Shimura Danzo. She must have been coerced."
"You mean we should find out what's going on first?"
Tsunade asked thoughtfully.
"good."
Kitazawa said in a deep voice, "If you want to help Nono-senpai, you have to help her get rid of her worries."
"You're right."
After thinking for a moment, Tsunade said, "I'll have someone look into it."
Although she is not in Konoha Village most of the year, her status and strength are undeniable, and she has saved the lives of many ninjas.
If she were to go all out, the energy she could mobilize might not be much less than that of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Thank you for your help, Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa nodded slightly and said.
"You're quite observant."
Tsunade suddenly laughed and asked, "Why are you helping Nonou?"
"She is one-third of my teacher."
Kitazawa replied, "If anything happens to Lady Tsunade, I will risk my life."
Tsunade was taken aback.
