Kimimaro and Haku were a little confused.
Kisame couldn’t help but chuckle. It sounds like Uehara was a boss who valued his subordinates a lot!
It’s a little hard for Zabuza and Mangetsu to understand.
Why did Uehara even bother to treat Kimimaro, a young ninja who had not shown any fighting capability, so well?
These ninjas from the Land of Water had always been cold, and young people like Kimimaro who were seriously ill would only die…
Fourth Mizukage Yagura even wished they were all dead!
Mangetsu suddenly remembered a rumor which he quickly whispered to Uehara, “I heard that Tsunade-sama, known as the strongest medical ninja, has retired. Ever since the war ended, she refused to provide any more treatments…”
Uehara nodded, looking at the blond female ninja laughing happily in the distance, and sighed, “There’s probably something wrong with her mind!”
Tsunade was suffering from a phobia!
Who would have expected a medical ninja to have hemophobia? Even worse, she was recognized as the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world.
Uehara instructed the other members to continue on their way and took Kimimaro to Tsunade and Shizune.
Tsunade greeted them and stopped by Uehara’s side. She bent down to his shoulder level and tilted her head, “How about it, kid? I knew you wouldn’t forget me. Let’s find a place…”
“Tsunade-sama!” Shizune was nervously pulling Tsunade’s shoulder, “Please pay attention to your image! Don’t tease him like this. He’s still a child!”
Tsunade ignored Shizune and quietly looked at Uehara.
Uehara helplessly stretched out his hand to pull Tsunade aside and sighed, “…I’m just giving you my money, aren’t I? Tsunade-senpai.”
“I have five million Ryo here…”
Uehara raised the scroll in his hand and said softly, “I would gamble with you, but I have a request.”
The carelessness on Tsunade’s face suddenly disappeared. She looked down at Uehara while frowning, “What’s your request?”
“Please take a look at his body.”
Uehara pointed at Kimimaro next to him and whispered, “He is the last of the Kaguya Clan. You must have heard of them, right Tsunade-senpai?”
“The Kaguya Clan of the Land of Water?”
Tsunade had not only heard of the Kaguya clan but also secrets of the clan, “If I remember correctly, even in the times of peace, the Kaguya clan’s ninjas would die young and were quite violent…”
Tsunade didn’t pay much attention to Kimimaro’s situation. She was more interested in Uehara. She randomly commented on the clan and swapped the topic back to Uehara.
Tsunade’s fingers picked up the scroll in Uehara’s hand, and the corner of her mouth was twisted up, “Clearly, we were here to gamble, yet you want me to treat someone?”
Uehara heard the dissatisfaction in her voice, “If you do, you would earn a lot of money… But at the gaming table, you haven’t won much, right?”
Tsunade’s head’s vein visibly bludged since Uehara’s words were true.
The anger on Tsunade’s face suddenly disappeared, and she whispered, “Shizune, check on that Kaguya clan kid, I’m going play with this little guy!”
Shizune heaved a sigh of relief and nodded respectfully.
Tsunade and Uehara followed them and found a seating area nearby. Tsunade pulled some dice out of her pocket while Uehara unlocked his sealing scroll and took out a pile of money.
While Shizune checked Kimimaro’s body, they began to gamble.
Tsunade’s face suddenly glowed, reached for the money in front of Uehara, “Boy, what’s your name?”
The boy was silent for a while but still said his name.
Tsunade raised her eyebrows and continued to shake the dice cup, “I haven’t heard the surnamed Uehara in the Kirigakure before…”
Uehara shook his head and sighed, “How could a ninja like me be in a village as big as the Kirigakure? Kisame-san and others are just helping me complete a mission…”
Uehara was completing a mission. It’s just that it was to bring Kisame and the others into the Akatsuki organization.
Tsunade suddenly held the dice cup and raised her head to look at Uehara. A hint of playfulness flashed across her face, “Kid, I can tell that you have a lot of pride in saying this kind of thing…”
Uehara looked back at her, unwilling to be outdone, “I heard that Konoha’s Third Hokage is very old. You would become the Hokage the moment you go back, but you’re still traveling outside… You don’t care about being the head of the strongest Ninja Village. Clearly, your excellency is the proudest person, right?”
But Tsunade did have the capital to be proud!
Regardless of her family background, looks, strength, abilities, and items, she had it all.
A trace of confusion flashed through Tsunade’s eyes.
The two stopped speaking and continued their gambling.
Uehara’s luck at the table seemed to be worse than Tsunade’s.
No matter what he guessed, he has never guessed it correctly. The side mission of beating Tsunade looked a long way off…
Forget it. Let’s just pretend that mission doesn’t exist.
Uehara comforted in his heart. According to the anime enthusiasts’ general understanding of Tsunade’s luck, the rewards for beating Tsunade would not be that good!
Tsunade picked up a pile of money in front of Uehara again and whispered, “Boy, I have never won so much before. Every time I win a bet, something bad happens. These two days, I’ve kept winning your money…”
Uehara also felt a little curious. Tsunade had beaten him so many times, would there be a big earthquake in Yugakure next…
Or was Jiraiya and Orochimaru in danger?
Uehara thought of his identity again.
Perhaps it was his luck that suppressed Tsunade’s curse?
As an intern of the Akatsuki and the future mastermind controlling the Ninja world, meeting him might be considered her bad luck…
It might actually be actually her greatest misfortune and regret!
Of course, the current Tsunade couldn’t kill him…
Not even Tsunade suspected that the young man sitting in front of her possessed Kage-level power.
Tsunade’s brain became active, and she suddenly laughed and said, “Hey, kid, will you become a member of some evil organization in the future? It seems like your identity isn’t so simple…”
Uehara denied Tsunade’s accusation and said softly, “A ninja from a small ninja village like me wants peace in the ninja world more than anyone!”
Tsunade opened the dice cup with a confused expression and then took away a pile of money from Uehara, “Peace is more precious than money and life…”
Shizune wearing white gloves, appeared in front of them. Her medical examination of Kimimaro was over.
Shizune glanced at Kimimaro standing next to her, her face full of apology and exhaustion, “His condition is too complicated. Forgive me, I can’t do anything….”
