I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

"What exactly do you mean? I've already said I won't stay in Konoha!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth. She was penniless, having gambled away her last bit of money. Where would she get the money to give to Byakuya?

She wasn't going to stay here anyway. As for Bai Ye asking her for money, she ran away overnight. Did Bai Ye think he could chase after her and ask for money back?

Tsunade doesn't need one more creditor!

"You only need to teach me some medical ninjutsu; you don't need to carry out any missions."

"Heh, who do you think I am? You think I'll just teach you because you tell me to?"

A disdainful smile flashed across Tsunade's face. Even if she didn't have hemophobia, she wouldn't stay in Konoha where an Uchiha was the Hokage.

"We work five days a week, from 9 to 5, with weekends off, meals and accommodation provided, and we pay you a salary. Overtime pay is triple."

"Money is nothing special? Do you think I, Tsunade, need your measly salary?"

She can borrow money from anyone she wants, so why would she need Bai Ye to pay her a salary?

Do you really think that having money means you can hire me?

If that were the case, she would have been invited back to Konoha by Hiruzen Sarutobi long ago!

"Konoha will pay off your previous gambling debts."

"I will not sell my integrity for these material possessions! I, Tsunade, can repay the money myself!"

but

Lady Tsunade, could you please not have spoken so softly?

Shizune thought to herself, "Tsunade's tone is getting softer and softer from her previous tough stance."

"Konoha will not interfere with your free time. Besides teaching, you can do whatever you want. We will provide you with five million yen every month so you can spend it at the casino."

Gudong.

Tsunade swallowed hard, her hands trembling uncontrollably. She felt that the Uchiha in front of her was like a demon.

why? !

How can he so perfectly exploit his weaknesses?

They don't care about me, they provide food and lodging, help me pay off my debts, and will even provide gambling funds in the future. All I have to do is attend classes occasionally, and they'll assign me some homework, then I can just slip away.

If you're getting money for free, wouldn't it be ungrateful to refuse it?

"Really, they'll provide meals and accommodation, and won't interfere with my life?"

"Correct!"

"You've paid off all my debts?"

"That's right!"

"They'll also provide five million yen per month?"

"Of course!"

call!

Tsunade's heart began to tip, and she unconsciously recalled her great-uncle's favorite saying: "The Uchiha are born evil!"

It's really so evil!

She calculated the round trip and realized that it would only take her about a day to get to Tanso Street at full speed. She would assign homework on Tuesday, have them study on their own on Wednesday, have them do their internship at the hospital on Thursday, and write a summary on Friday. This would mean she would only work one day a week, and could spend the rest of the time in the casino as before.

Now that those bad habits and evil practices are gone from the village, I can observe the situation first. If it still doesn't work, I can always continue to run away.

Whether it was to trick Bai Ye into paying off his previous debts first, or to scam her out of several months' wages later.

In short, she admitted that she was attracted to him.

"Okay, I agree. If you don't do what you say, I'll leave immediately!"

Tsunade quickly agreed, saying that she had nothing to be ashamed of anyway.

Whether or not to leave later depends on your own mood.

"Ahem, actually I do need some money when I go out. In fact, my expenses at those brothels are quite high. Could the village reimburse me for that? I can also be a registered member, and I can still show my love for the village!"

Jiraiya coughed lightly. He felt he had to try and take advantage of this free business opportunity.

The prices have been rising too much lately, and he also likes to tip. If this continues, I won't be able to afford to go anymore!

These three ninjas really do have a little bit of everything – gambling, drugs, and prostitution.

"We're out of money. The village only has so much money. I heard you're a bestselling author? Have you ever thought about contributing some taxes to the village?"

"Farewell!"

Jiraiya simply slipped away. Anyway, nothing was going to happen. He didn't get the money, and it was fine. But Byakuya actually had his eye on the meager sum in his pocket.

"It's gone and I'm on silent."

Tsunade glanced at Byakuya, then pulled Shizune away without looking back.

Now that she's back in the village, she plans to visit the Thousand Hands tribe's territory.

Speaking of which, I'll probably be staying here for a while.

"Are you just going to agree to Tsunade's request like that?"

Shikaku asked with some concern, "Tsunade owes a lot of money!"

"The casinos are all ours. If she loses, it's just a matter of transferring money from one pocket to another. I'm waiting for her to lose all her salary and everything else!"

Free is the most expensive.

Giving her free gambling is just a way of saying that Bai Ye will take down those casinos behind the scenes.

This is just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other; what we need to prevent now is Tsunade running away later on.

Listening to Byakuya's words, Shikaku couldn't utter a single word for a long time. As expected of the Uchiha who were born evil!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 81 Mei Terumi: Is that idiot Byakuya coveting my good looks?

"Aren't you going to try to win Jiraiya over here?"

Although he used some tricks, Shikaku felt it was actually okay.

After all, Tsunade lost the bet, and that's her own business. As long as Byakuya paid the money, that's fine. Both sides probably know the truth, and as long as they don't interfere too much in each other's affairs, it's fine.

In fact, Shikaku was happy to see Tsunade stay in the village to teach medical ninjas, as the village's medical ninjas were no longer as glorious as they once were.

Tsunade's importance is self-evident, and while Jiraiya may not be as important to the village as Tsunade, he is still a Kage-level fighter. Shouldn't we try to win him over?

Shikaku had just realized from Byakuya's attitude that he didn't seem to want to win over Jiraiya, otherwise he wouldn't have left without even setting any conditions.

"He won't stay in the village. He has his own things to do, so there's no need to interfere too much. He'll come back if there are any problems in the village."

Chosen one.

Is it worth spending your whole life searching for this so-called chosen one?

Byakuya was unaware of this, but he didn't interfere with Jiraiya's thoughts.

But with his appearance, is Naruto still considered the chosen one in this life?

"I understand. Then the village can start the medical ninja program. We can select some people with good medical talent to train. It seems to be going exactly as you planned."

"Then you should be able to handle it, right?"

"No? You're going to be a hands-off manager again?"

Who exactly is the Hokage?

Shikaku really wants to quit now.

"I'll be leaving Konoha for a while, so I'll need your help with some things in the village for the time being."

"You're leaving Konoha?"

Shikaku was stunned for a moment after hearing Byakuya's words, and then immediately prepared to stop him.

Are you kidding me? You've only been Hokage for a few days and you're already leaving the village for a while?

"Yes, there's been some internal trouble in Kirigakure. I'm going to go there to handle some things, which also relates to the plan I mentioned before. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Please, boss, how long does it take to get from the Land of Fire to the Hidden Mist Village?"

"What if we had space-time ninjutsu?"

"you?!"

Shikaku stared wide-eyed at Byakuya in disbelief. He even knew space-time ninjutsu?

Furthermore, if that's the case, then when dealing with the Third Hokage, Byakuya didn't even have many of his techniques used?

"Alright, I'm leaving the village in your care. Just keep things as good as before for now!"

After saying that, Byakuya patted Shikaku on the shoulder and then disappeared from the Hokage's office.

Shikaku was left staring at the documents, on the verge of tears.

This is different from when he served as Minato's assistant to the Hokage!

Why does it feel like everything has changed since he took office again?

Kirigakure Village.

Byakuya had used Kamui to come here once before and also found out what the situation was like in Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi and Genji have already begun planning this operation and are preparing to take action soon. Byakuya is doing this partly to see if there is a chance to win a prize, and partly to realize his own plan.

Since the Mistkage made the first move, he might as well switch his target from the Sand Village to the Mistkage.

"Qing, what's wrong?"

In a secret meeting room in Wuying Village, Terumi Mei looked up at Qing, whose expression was somewhat strange, with a puzzled expression.

"Someone!"

"Who?"
