Chapter 58 The omnipotent Lord Uehara is a big fat sheep...
"Hey, kid!"
Tsunade suddenly opened the window and, looking at Uehara Naraku outside the inn, called out loudly, "I almost forgot to ask, which village are you from? What's your name?!"
"..."
Uehara Naraku's expression turned ugly again.
Does this woman still want to take advantage of him?
Tsunade leaned over the window, her chest slightly distorted from being squeezed, and chuckled with interest, "I'm just a wandering ninja, I won't get in your way on your mission..."
Uehara Naraku finally raised his head, looked at Tsunade, and said softly, "So Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin, was also a wandering ninja... Then isn't the Third Hokage of Konoha a bit blind?"
Tsunade wasn't angry at all; instead, she nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, the old man is getting old. Not only are his eyesight bad, but his mind isn't what it used to be!"
Tsunade has never had much respect for the Third Hokage.
If the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, were standing right in front of Tsunade, she might say even more offensive things.
"Does that mean Konoha will soon have a new Hokage?"
Uehara Naraku looked up at Tsunade, a mysterious smile on his face: "How about we make a bet? I really think Tsunade-senpai will become Konoha's next Hokage!"
"Oh…"
Tsunade exhaled a puff of hot air, looking down at Uehara Naraku with a light laugh: "Kid, at least guess a plausible candidate. How could I possibly be interested in something like the Hokage... And do you even have any money?"
"..."
Uehara Naraku's confident smile froze. As expected, you can't speak with confidence if you don't have money in your hands!
"Losing to you was a choice made by fate."
Uehara sighed, looked up at Tsunade who was beaming, and said, "So be it. When fate comes, no one can defy its will."
Of course, this excludes Uehara himself, who controls his own destiny.
After saying this, Uehara Naraku waved goodbye to Tsunade in a hurry, and his figure disappeared into the night.
Tsunade's face fell as she stood by the window. She stared at the darkness outside as her body slowly slid to the ground.
"...Fate?"
Tears welled in Tsunade's eyes as she clutched her chest, her face showing dejection and sorrow. "Shizune, pack your things. We're leaving tomorrow."
"Huh? Lady Tsunade?"
Shizune walked over in surprise and saw Tsunade slumped on the ground. She went to help her up, asking, "Lady Tsunade, what happened?"
"no."
Tsunade reached out and stroked Shizune's cheek, whispering, "I'm worried something bad might happen. Go pack your things!"
Having learned to gamble since childhood, Tsunade has always lost every time she gambles, even against a gambling addict like Hashirama Senju, her luck is still incredibly bad.
She wins occasionally.
Whenever she wins, something bad happens.
However, in the betting game just now, Tsunade won almost every game, making Uehara Naraku doubt his entire life.
Who knows what will happen if she stays in Tangren Village?
Uehara had no idea that his words had completely ruined Tsunade's good mood; he only knew that fate was a very magical ability.
Once he activated his destiny, individual figures transformed into small faces and appeared in his mind, giving him complete control over the location of everyone within a hundred kilometers.
Uehara quickly located Kisame Hoshigaki, Mangetsu Hozuki, and the others, and cards appeared one by one at his feet…
The teleportation function of destiny is activated!
The most luxurious hot spring hotel in Yuren Village.
Kisame Hoshigaki was sitting upstairs at the inn, working on his Samehada skin. He would occasionally glance down at his companion in the hot spring bath when he suddenly heard the sound of cards being cut.
Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly grabbed Samehada and turned his head, just in time to see a scene that nearly made his small eyes pop out of their sockets!
Cards appeared out of thin air on the floor of the room, each card overlapping to form a circular area about half a meter in size.
The next second, Uehara Naraku appeared on the card.
This is the teleportation function attached to Uehara's new skill, Fate. As long as Kisame Hoshigaki is within the range of Fate, he can teleport directly there.
Kisame Hoshigaki breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of curiosity appearing on his face. He chuckled and asked, "Lord Uehara, is this a space-time technique?"
"Um."
Uehara Naraku didn't deny it, and handed Kisame a banknote, which Tsunade had given him out of pity: "This is the rest of the money you gave me."
"...Only five hundred taels?"
Kisame Hoshigaki's face was a picture of utter brilliance.
Even if Kisame hadn't deliberately calculated the commission he'd receive for completing the mission, he still had a rough idea of the amount—a whopping several million taels!
Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but say, "Did Lord Uehara lose several million ryo today? That sounds more like the legendary easy prey..."
"Shut up!"
Upon hearing the title that belonged to Tsunade, Uehara Naraku's face darkened, and his mood became somewhat gloomy. He asked in a muffled voice, "Which one is my room?"
"The biggest one next door."
Kisame Hoshigaki quickly changed the subject of his wasted money, chuckling as he said, "Lord Uehara, why don't you go for a while in the hot spring? This is the most luxurious hot spring inn in Yugakure; even ordinary Jonin wouldn't dare to spend money here so easily!"
"No, I'm not in a good mood."
Uehara Naraku's body sank into the wall as if he were diving.
Once Kisame's surprise faded, Uehara had already used his Mayfly Technique to pass through the thick walls and arrive at his room.
The wonders of Fate Teleportation and the Mayfly Technique completely overturned Kisame Hoshigaki's understanding of ninjutsu, adding even more awe to his heart.
However, Kisame Hoshigaki, remembering Naraku Uehara's sullen expression and the millions of ryo he had lost, couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "Ha, it seems our new boss isn't so perfect after all!"
Kisame Hoshigaki wasn't angry that Naraku Uehara had lost all his money. Instead, he felt that Uehara had become more down-to-earth, unlike the mysterious and unapproachable aura that made people feel somewhat intimidated when they were together.
A splash of water landed in the room. Hozuki Mangetsu looked at the smiling Kisame Hoshigaki and asked in confusion, "I heard someone talking just now. Has the master returned?"
"Yeah, I just went to rest."
"Hmm..."
Hozuki Mangetsu frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim. "Is it because you're going to rest so early, sir? Are you dissatisfied with the inn I booked?"
"No, it's just that I'm in a bad mood."
Kisame Hoshigaki shrugged, looking at Mangetsu Hozuki with a light laugh, "After all, no one would be in a good mood if they lost millions of ryo in a day, right?"
Hozuki Mangetsu: "..."
Finally, Kisame Hoshigaki and Mangetsu Hozuki exchanged a glance, each suppressing their laughter, and revealed a mysterious smile.
Damn, I still want to laugh!
I thought everything in the ninja world was under Uehara's control...
I never expected that Uehara himself would be such a walking fat sheep!
