Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Page 55

This time, the target was just an ordinary merchant, unlike Hui who had an unusual identity last time. Apart from some thieves, they didn't see anyone else on the way. However, after seeing the Konoha headband, they quickly ran away.

Ninjas are always the strongest fighting force, and thieves are well aware of this.

"It's a normal task."

Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief, as did everyone else.

After all, everyone had a bad impression of the last mission.

"Miss Hui gave you quite a bit of money last time, I think you've all received it. We'll rest here for a couple of days, you can look around on your own. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Jiraiya smiled, then immediately turned and ran away.

"This guy went to spy on us again, didn't he?"

Tsukiki knew Jiraiya's personality very well; even when he said he had something to do, it wasn't anything good.

"Jiraiya-sensei probably, really, wouldn't—"

As Minato Namikaze spoke, he began to lose confidence in himself.

He was naturally happy when Jiraiya first came to guide him, but after a while, he realized what kind of person Jiraiya really was.

"Well, never mind that, I'm going to the hotel to rest."

"Speaking of which, that guy hasn't booked a hotel for us yet."

Yue Shu put her hands behind her back, wanting to go and rest.

Then Kushina and Mikoto's voices rang out from one side.

"Kushina, this is a rare opportunity, let's go to a hot spring together."

"That's true, let's go together."

--etc!

Yue Shu stopped in his tracks. He had almost forgotten about his mission because the escort had gone so smoothly these past few days.

Kushina is definitely a ticking time bomb; she could explode at any moment.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going back to the hotel?"

When Minato Namikaze saw Tsukiki stop, he asked, since he also wanted to go back and rest.

These past few days, the conditions for escorting people haven't been great, and we've had to keep watch at night, so this is a good opportunity to catch up on some sleep.

"I've changed my mind."

"what?"

"Kushina, which hot spring are you going to? I'll come along too."

Tsukiki sighed, finding it extremely troublesome, but he couldn't let Kushina run around, so he had no choice.

As soon as Yue Shu finished speaking, all three people present turned their gazes towards him.

Those eyes were filled with astonishment.

"What?"

"Are you a fake Moon Tree?"

"I think so too."

The three of them expressed their doubts one after another, leaving Yue Shu feeling quite helpless in the middle.

It wasn't his intention to do that!

If she could just sleep in and relax, Tsukiki would never choose to go to a hot spring.

But there was no other way; I had no choice but to go along.

You want her to stay obediently by your side? Well, the nickname "Bloody Red Pepper" isn't just for show.

And so, Tsukiki was forced to go to the hot springs, along with Minato Namikaze, who went with Tsukiki.

He originally wanted to go and rest, but now that Tsukiki had gone, Minato Namikaze naturally followed. Firstly, he was the only one missing, and secondly, it was a rare opportunity.

"What's wrong?"

Minato Namikaze asked softly beside Tsukiki, while Kushina and Mikoto walked a little ahead.

"It's nothing, just be careful."

Tsukiki didn't say it outright, since there was absolutely no basis for it.

Minato Namikaze didn't ask too many questions; he simply nodded and was ready.

Minato Namikaze thought that something troublesome was likely to happen again, so he had to remain vigilant.

And so, with a troubled look on his face and a slightly wary Minato Namikaze following the two women toward the hot spring.

Then--

"Ah, that feels so good."

Yue Shu looked quite content, soaking in the hot water, feeling incredibly comfortable all over.

Minato Namikaze, standing to the side, was also very relaxed, looking quite docile, his previous wary demeanor completely gone.

This is a famous hot spring. Tsukiki and Minato Namikaze are in the men's bath, while Kushina and Mikoto are in the next room.

"The hot springs are really nice."

Minato Namikaze sighed, "Usually, when I'm all alone, I don't have much of a chance to enjoy myself. Money is one thing, but time is another."

Yes, that's right.

Tsukiki didn't have much of a chance to enjoy it either. Although the bathroom at Senju House was quite large, the open-air hot spring was still very fragrant.

Hehehehe.

The soft voices from the women's bath next door, along with the voices of Kushina and Mikoto, made many of the seasoned drivers here blush.

"cut."

As a complete otaku, Tsukiki naturally knows what the group of perverts around him are thinking.

It's just a practiced fantasy.

"But speaking of which, in this scenario, that guy is very likely—"

Tsukiki glanced around, his intuition telling him that a white-haired guy might be nearby.

This place is quite a famous hot spring, after all.

Find!

Tsukiki scanned the area and, sure enough, spotted a white-haired figure.

That guy just climbed to the top of the hot spring.

A wooden plate floated past her eyes, and Yue Shu chuckled mischievously to herself.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Yue Shu grabbed a wooden tray and threw it forcefully while shouting.

"what?"

thump.

The white-haired man turned his head and was hit directly in the face, then fell into the women's bath.

"abnormal!"

The neighborhood immediately became lively. Tsukiki was quite content, while Minato Namikaze was speechless.

Then, in the next moment, the white-haired man was sent flying.

From a distance, Jiraiya's head was covered in bumps.

"The stars are so bright."

The moon tree was quite content.

Jiraiya streaked across the sky—

"Seriously, that lecherous teacher."

The red-haired girl, Kushina, wearing a yukata, spoke of Jiraiya.

"Luckily, we're still wearing scarves and haven't gone down yet."

Mikoto chuckled softly from the side.

Tsukiki lay sprawled on the Kazushi table, while Minato Namikaze sat opposite her.

Everyone had just finished soaking in the hot spring and was gathered in one room wearing yukatas.

The last mission was an S-level mission, and the four of them are all quite wealthy, so it wouldn't be bad to book a bigger room for them to stay together.

"Jiraiya-sensei is really something."

Even the kind-hearted person couldn't help but say "Jiraiya".

"It's an old story."

Tsukiki waved her hand, indicating that she would get used to it.

The hermit of Mount Myoboku is a notorious womanizer.

Night had fallen outside the window, but the resort was still bustling, though it was certainly less brightly lit than Konoha.

There aren't many people doing business in Konoha at night, just a few small stalls, but there are many more here.

This is the first time I've seen a night like this since I came here from Yue Shu.

Although it's nothing compared to my previous life.

"Let's have dinner."

Tsukiki yawned and offered her opinion.

The other three agreed, as this was their first time experiencing nightlife and they were understandably curious.
