It was Shizune.
"Shizune has been kicked out? In that case, I'll go in and take a look first." Thinking of this, Kaoru directly walked into the casino.
As soon as he entered the casino, Kaoru looked around. Besides a row of middle-aged uncles gambling at the table, there was also a beautiful woman who attracted the attention of the entire audience.
A beautiful woman with slightly blonde hair, looking in her twenties, wearing a green coat with a "gamble" character written on the back, her amazing bust was attracting the gazes of the surrounding wolves.
It really was Tsunade.
"Hey, it's your turn to play. If you lose this hand again, you'll owe us a full 20 million!" One of the middle-aged gamblers said to Tsunade.
"Okay, okay, I know..." Tsunade said hesitantly, her face red, as if she had drunk a lot of wine, "But before that, let me sleep for a while."
After saying that, Tsunade really put her head on the table and fell asleep.
However, Kaoru clearly saw that Tsunade secretly made a hand seal at the moment of lying down.
"This is... the Body Replacement Technique!" Kaoru quickly reacted. This Tsunade seemed to want to sneak away.
Without thinking too much, Kaoru directly turned around and walked out of the casino. Just as he walked out of the casino, he also saw Tsunade's figure appear at the door. She looked flustered, grabbed Shizune's hand, who was waiting at the door, and started running.
"As expected, Tsunade wants to run away without paying her debts!" Kaoru quickly chased after her. At this time, the Tsunade who was sitting at the gambling table burst into a cloud of smoke. After the smoke cleared, there was only a piece of wood sitting in the seat.
"Ah, the fat sheep ran away, chase after her!!!" The gamblers reacted and chased out in a swarm. They were kidding, Tsunade owed them a lot of money, how could they let her run away like this.
So, on the streets of the town, Tsunade and Shizune were running in front, while Kaoru was closely following behind, and finally there was a large group of gamblers chasing after them.
"Shizune, quickly shake them off!" Tsunade shouted to Shizune next to her.
"Yes! Lord Tsunade!" Shizune nodded, then turned her head and formed hand seals with both hands: "Water Release: Bubbles Technique!"
She opened her mouth and directly sprayed a large amount of slippery soap bubbles on the ground. Seeing this, Kaoru immediately jumped up and continued to chase along the eaves next to the street.
Those gamblers behind him did not have such good luck. They didn't know ninjutsu, and immediately stepped on them without paying attention.
Then their feet slipped and they all fell down. When the people in front fell, the people behind them also crashed into them.
In an instant, the entire street was squeezed into a ball.
"Well done, Shizune!" Tsunade nodded very satisfied when she saw this, and then she and Shizune ran further and further away.
The two ran into a small alley before stopping.
"How is it, is no one chasing after us?" Tsunade asked.
"It should be no one." Shizune nodded and replied.
"Who said there isn't?!" Tsunade's face suddenly changed, and she turned her head to look at the depths of the alley. Kaoru was already standing there waiting for them.
"As expected of Princess Tsunade, one of the Sannin, the Body Replacement Technique is quite exquisite..." Kaoru smiled.
"You are..." Seeing Kaoru mentioned her running away from debt, her face turned slightly red. Looking at the young man walking towards her, his handsome face was full of unfamiliar expressions.
However, from the forehead protector Kaoru was wearing, Tsunade realized that the person who came was a Konoha ninja.
"A Konoha ninja, he's quite handsome, but too young." Tsunade looked Kaoru up and down, and smiled: "So, what do you want from me?"
"It's like this, Lord Third Hokage has something to look for you, I hope you can return to the village." Kaoru said.
"Return to the village? Hmph, you should first tell me what the Third Hokage wants me for." Tsunade crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
"This..." Kaoru thought about it. In the original work, Tsunade was unwilling to be the Hokage at first, and even drugged Jiraiya.
It was only after fighting Orochimaru, who came to her for treatment, that she realized something and was willing to be the Hokage.
Now that Orochimaru was not injured, Tsunade would definitely not be willing, so he had to make up a reason to deceive her.
"That, you know about Orochimaru attacking Konoha Village, right?" Kaoru asked.
Seeing Kaoru mention this matter, Tsunade was stunned, and then her face instantly turned ugly.
"I know, but so what? The matter of Orochimaru destroying Konoha has passed, I can't help much."
Tsunade's sad expression was only fleeting. She returned to her previous indifferent appearance and said indifferently.
"Then if something happens to Lord Hokage, you should take care of it, right." Kaoru said seriously.
"What happened?!" Hearing that something had happened to her teacher, Tsunade quickly asked.
"To be honest, the Third Hokage was seriously injured after fighting Orochimaru and needs a powerful medical ninja to heal him, and we can only think of you, Lord Tsunade, one of the Sannin. Except for you, no one can save the Third Hokage."
Kaoru changed his face, becoming a little nervous and sad, in the middle of this, he also borrowed Itachi's acting skills.
"The Third Hokage is really seriously injured?!" Tsunade's expression immediately became nervous.
"That's right, so I hope you can go to Konoha Village!" Seeing that Tsunade believed his words, Kaoru quickly continued to say.
"..." Tsunade fell silent, and at this time her heart was undergoing intense thinking.
At this time, Jiraiya appeared.
"Tsunade, I've been looking for you in the casino for a long time, I didn't expect you to be in this alley." Jiraiya approached slowly, wearing wooden clogs.
Seeing Jiraiya appear, Kaoru was a little nervous, because he had not told Jiraiya in advance about the Third Hokage's serious injury. It would be bad if he revealed it.
"Jiraiya? I didn't expect you to come too." Tsunade stared with beautiful eyes and asked softly.
"Yes, this time I came specifically for you." Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade's chest, then said seriously again.
"Jiraiya, how is the Third Hokage now?" Tsunade asked directly, her face also showing a slight anxiety.
"The Third Hokage?" Jiraiya was stunned, then nodded: "Orochimaru's invasion of Konoha Village caused a lot of damage, but well, the Third Hokage is still..."
"Alas, um, let's go find a tavern and chat slowly, what's the point of chatting in a small alley..."
Seeing that Jiraiya was about to reveal the truth, Kaoru quickly interrupted, as one of the Sannin, Tsunade's closest comrade, didn't this guy Jiraiya understand Tsunade's character?
If he said it directly, she would definitely not go, right?!
"Um, that's fine! Let's go find a tavern and chat while drinking." Seeing Kaoru say this, Jiraiya's expression also seemed a little strange, and he immediately followed his intention.
After that, Jiraiya summoned toads to find the scattered Naruto and Wan'er, and the four of them and a pig entered a tavern.
