I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Future spat, cupped her face, and awkwardly muteed herself, "What is all this nonsense you're spouting?!"

"...Hehe...Hehe..."

Shizune could only manage a twitching smile. What could she do? She was desperate too.

"Stop being so indecent, Tsunade-neechan."

Chiaki, with her extremely high tolerance, patted Tsunade on the shoulder and looked at Reiko Kawasawa. "Anyway, there's no one else here, and our conversation won't get out."

"So, how about we settle our bet?"

"I won. Tsunade-neechan has to answer a question for me."

"I lost. So, Tsunade-neechan can refuse to answer one of my questions, okay?"

Kawasawa Reiko, who was coughing, suddenly froze, then sat up straight with delight, looking at Chiaki.

Does Qianqiu mean by saying this that she has accepted herself?

This is really great!

If the Kingdom of Hot Springs has Chiaki's assistance, why should it not be able to gain a foothold?

"Rest assured, both of you, there is absolutely no possibility that what I said today will be leaked. If it is leaked, I will commit suicide to atone for it!"

As Reiko Kawasawa spoke earnestly, Tsunade raised an eyebrow, realizing that the main topic was about to begin, and couldn't help but laugh, "You've been waiting for me here, Sen-chan."

"Okay, come on."

Tsunade gestured for Reiko Kawasawa to begin, while Chiaki simply smiled.

Even though Tsunade knew she would lose, she still agreed. It just goes to show that she still spoils herself.

The result was obvious: Tsunade never won!

When are you going back to the village?

"In a few years."

"Do you want to become Hokage?"

"Do not want to."

"why?"

"It's boring."

"Is this the truth?"

"To be honest, it's better if you do it."

"Who else is better besides me?"

"Orochimaru, I guess."

"anything else?"

"Um……"

Tsunade thought seriously for a moment, then looked at Chiaki, who was tilting his head, and said, "Minato!"

Chapter 474 What's the point of being Hokage?

After finishing their conversation and playing their gambling games, Chiaki and Tsunade accepted Reiko Kawasawa's invitation to visit her underground exchange and enjoy a banquet in the restaurant at the deepest part of the exchange.

Anyway, Jingyin ate the banquet with tears streaming down her face. Lately, she had been living a life of irregular eating habits, working hard every day for the underground exchange.

As soon as this goddess arrived, the big boss behind the underground exchange appeared and invited her to dinner, gave her a black card, and promised that she could enjoy the services of the underground exchange in the future.

The free kind!

Very good!

No more worrying about where to eat or where to sleep!

Thanks to Reiko Kawasawa's deliberate efforts to cultivate a relationship, the meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests. With this assurance, Tsunade opened up to Reiko Kawasawa.

Although Kawasawa Reiko is the wife of the daimyo of Yu-no-kuni and the de facto ruler of Yu-no-kuni, it might not sound good if word got out that the two had become acquainted.

After all, the close personal relationship between the two countries' top leaders could easily arouse suspicion from other countries.

But Reiko Kawasawa has another identity: the owner of an underground exchange. Using this identity to make connections is not a problem.

Just as the banquet was about to end, and Reiko Kawasawa was about to invite Chiaki and the other three to take a bath together, a ninja barged in, directly disrupting the atmosphere of the banquet.

Chiaki and Tsunade frowned simultaneously, while Mirai and Shizune were also startled and took precautions.

"Who let you in! Get out!"

Reiko Kawasawa's face darkened. The atmosphere here had already been set up quite well. If the girls took a shower together and were honest with each other, they would be best friends.

But this guy suddenly barged in, completely ruining the feeling and almost costing Kawasawa Reiko the chance to become best friends with the two of them.

Who could tolerate this?!

"I'm so sorry, sir!"

The ninja, covered in cold sweat, knelt before Reiko Kawasawa, repeatedly apologizing, "A ninja insisted on barging in, and we couldn't stop him!"

"what?!"

Kawasawa Reiko was startled and immediately slammed her hand on the table, "Who dares to trespass on my underground exchange?"

The underground exchange is a gathering place for a large number of criminals or people who make a living there.

Most of them have eccentric tempers or very different personalities.

However, because underground exchanges have a good reputation and everyone makes a living there, not many people will directly break into them.

After all, everyone needs to make money.

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

If anyone dares to cause trouble or make a mess, the ninjas who make a living in the underground exchange will stop them without Kawasawa Reiko having to do it herself.

It's unlikely to be an official; basically, the shadows of major countries all know about the existence of underground exchanges, and most of them have dealt with Reiko Kawasawa and received benefits from her.

The underground exchange is such a huge money-sucking machine, the bigwigs wouldn't be so idle as to mess around with it.

Therefore, it has been a long time since anyone has dared to break into an underground exchange so blatantly; it's simply outrageous!

"Reiko, it seems the timing isn't very good today."

Chiaki narrowed her eyes and said to Reiko Kawasawa, "Tsunade and I will be leaving now."

The fact that the two of them were acquainted with Reiko Kawasawa could not be known to others, at least not in the open.

"No... let's wait a little longer?"

Kawasawa Reiko spoke ingratiatingly to Chiaki and Tsunade, then turned to the ninja kneeling on the ground, too afraid to move, and snapped, "Hurry up and deal with that guy! By any means necessary!"

Just as Reiko Kawasawa was raging at the ninja, a hoarse, damp voice suddenly came from behind.

"I heard someone wants to get rid of me?"

Upon hearing this voice, Chiaki and Tsunade froze simultaneously, and Mirai's lips twitched as she lowered her guard.

Shizune, looking bewildered, tugged at Mirai and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

She had never heard this voice before, nor had she had any close dealings with the owner of the voice, so naturally she couldn't tell the difference.

"...Hehe...Hehe..."

The future laughs helplessly; such an iconic voice, once heard, is unforgettable.

Click, click.

A figure emerged from the shadows, his chilling voice sending shivers down one's spine: "All of you in this underground exchange combined can't stop me."

"You are……"

Kawasawa Reiko looked at that person, his name already popping into her mind, before turning to look at Chiaki and Tsunade.

As expected, the two who were originally planning to leave to avoid danger started eating and drinking leisurely after seeing the newcomer.

"One of the legendary Sannin of Konoha—Orochimaru!"

Reiko Kawasawa's heart was like a rollercoaster, going up and down. One second she was anxious about the possibility of losing Chiaki and Tsunade's friendship, and the next second she was hit by an overwhelming surprise.

Another Kage-level powerhouse!

They are still good friends!

In other words, I'll be able to befriend another powerful person?!

As expected, Chiaki is my lucky star!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way now!"

"Tell them to disperse! Don't disturb Lord Orochimaru!"

Reiko Kawasawa quickly waved for the ninja to leave and then smiled and invited Orochimaru to sit down.

Orochimaru smiled and, without much ceremony, sat down next to Chiaki.

Reiko Kawasawa was absolutely thrilled. With three powerful figures sitting opposite her, how could the Land of Hot Springs not be strong?

Orochimaru, what are you doing here?

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Orochimaru and stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth.

"Hehe, can't I do it?"

Orochimaru licked his lips; he simply sat down without eating.

"Aunt Snake, are you coming back with me too?"

Chiaki blinked and looked at Orochimaru. "My mission is complete. I'm ready to return to Konoha."

"Oh?"

Orochimaru looked at Chiaki gently and said, "Have you completed your mission?"

"Could it be that Tsunade has agreed to become Hokage?"

“I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to convince her, so I wanted to help you out.”
