Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

The watermelons undulate across the plains.

Shizune was helping Naruto collect the chips from behind, while calling out Tsunade's name.

Sasuke looked at Chiba with a blank expression.

Although he didn't know who the woman was, there was no doubt that Naruto, Jiraiya, and Chiba had all come for her.

but.

Such gamblers...

"Let's go, follow them."

"who is she?"

"Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, I don't know if you've heard of her."

Sasuke shook his head.

Chiba smiled and said softly, "You'll have a chance to hear about it later. Hmm, she has a nickname that's legendary..."

"Hey kid, I've been putting up with you for ages! Want to fight?"

Enraged, Tsunade abruptly turned and glared in Chiba and Sasuke's direction, then frowned—

"Tch, another Konoha ninja?"

"My name is Yagyu Chiba."

Chiba bowed slightly.

Tsunade's expression turned serious.

Yagyu Chiba...

She hadn't really heard this name before meeting Jiraiya and Naruto, but in the past few days, the name had appeared in her ears more frequently than the Third Hokage.

It is said that he also met the First and Second Hokage and gained their approval.

this kind of thing.

In the past, Tsunade would have completely dismissed Jiraiya's lies, but Orochimaru truly died in Konoha—

Because of this kid.

She stared at Chiba for a long time.

This guy doesn't have any chakra aura or scent.

Special ninjutsu?

"Ahem, Tsunade, he's the one I was talking about..."

"He has already told me his name."

Is Chapter 193 funny? Laugh more, or you won't be able to laugh later.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Naruto wanted to show off the money he won, but Jiraiya immediately covered his mouth.

He quickly gestured to indicate that he wouldn't shout, and only then did Jiraiya release his mouth.

The adults are chatting, and the children are chattering away.

Jiraiya turned around in annoyance, only to see that Tsunade had already left the gambling den.

Sasuke was speechless.

Does this guy even know what he's doing?

and.

It seems they really did win a lot.

Sasuke looked at it with some disbelief.

Is Naruto really that good at gambling?

Even though the ninja wearing clothes with the word "gambling" on them had lost everything.

Jiraiya gave Chiba a grateful look, then glanced at Sasuke, clearly wondering why Sasuke had come back with him.

Chiba communicated telepathically, saying, "We ran into them on the road. What happened? Did you run into members of Akatsuki again?"

"understood."

He tried fishing and found that the other party's target was indeed the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Tsunade sighed softly; these were indeed the words her grandfather would say.

but.

Jiraiya immediately understood the reason.

Chiba said calmly.

"It seems Kisame is seriously injured."

During a break to use the restroom, Chiba and Jiraiya exchanged information.

Unlike before, Kisame doesn't seem to have made a move this time.

She looked at the wine glass and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Chiba was focused on acting and didn't see clearly whether he was injured or not, but according to Asuma, he had been slashed once.

After the meal, Tsunade walked out and said, "Alright, everyone have a good time these next few days. If anyone wants to chat, let's talk. Forget about going back to Konoha."

Chiba nodded.

"You saw my grandfather before?"

"why?"

After Jiraiya took Naruto away, they went to several places and finally found out about Tsunade in the post town. They then discovered Itachi and Kisame.

"How can you say that!"

Jiraiya grabbed his hand, signaling him not to act impulsively.

After they left, Naruto used the money he had earned from exchanging his chips to treat everyone. Although Tsunade was unhappy, she was still very happy to get a free meal and ordered several bottles of alcohol.

"Yes."

Absorbing Sage Chakra comes at a price.

Chiba wasn't interested in alcohol, so he declined as instructed.

Naruto shouted.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "My grandfather and great-grandfather were both Hokage, and what happened in the end? The Fourth Hokage died a long time ago, and if it weren't for Chiba-kun, my old man would probably be lying in bed by now, right?"

Although no one treats Chiba like a child, he should still be a little more disciplined when it comes to drinking.

Naruto was furious.

"Hey, Tsunade, don't force the children to drink."

Jiraiya quickly tried to dissuade him.

Chiba said thoughtfully.

Tsunade was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Are they alright?"

"drink wine!"

Back at the dining table, Tsunade narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on Chiba.

"He was injured? No wonder he didn't make a move and just stayed in the background like a mascot."

"Only a fool would become Hokage!"

"As the dead, they should be doing alright in the underworld. The First Lord has no regrets and does not want the dead to affect the world of the living."

"This guy absorbed Sage Chakra before."

Jiraiya nodded.

No wonder Sasuke didn't suffer as much.

According to Asuma, it's already quite an achievement that Kisame can walk at all now.

Grandpa, second grandpa, and...

Chiba squinted at him from the side.

Tsunade is emotional...

This at least shows that she isn't as indifferent as she seems on the surface.

The Impure World Reincarnation and the Hokage still had an emotional impact on her, but Tsunade herself had her own concerns—

Hemophobia.

She was probably afraid that she wouldn't be able to become Hokage.

Chiba understood.

He remained silent, observing the unfolding events.

Naruto fell for it as expected, boasting that he would defeat Tsunade, only to be taught a terrible lesson with just one finger.

“I have no interest in a brat like you. However, I’d like to know why you’re so obsessed with becoming Hokage? You should know that besides me, there are two other guys here who could easily become Hokage, but they don’t want to be for the time being.”

Tsunade stood with her hands on her hips, and with her other hand she pointed at Jiraiya and Chiba.

Naruto was stunned for a few seconds.

Then, he pointed at Chiba incredulously: "The lecherous sage is one thing, after all, he's quite old, but what's wrong with him? He's only a year older than me!"

"Indeed, as Naruto said, if I become Hokage at my age, no one will be convinced."

Chiba smiled.
