Chapter 46 Farewell, the Cunning Tsunade
"Spiritual communication..."
At the border of the Land of Sugi, Kakashi gave a low shout and a brown ninja dog wearing a Konoha headband appeared with a thud beneath his feet.
"Yo~ Kakashi, long time no see!" The ninja dog greeted him with its paws as soon as it appeared.
Suddenly, this unexpected speech left Taro and Jiro speechless!
"Dogs can talk?"
"Big brother, we didn't hear wrong, did we?"
"You stupid brat, don't compare ninja dogs to ordinary dogs." Almost the instant his two underlings opened their mouths, Parker bared his teeth and shouted in dissatisfaction.
After scratching his head, Pakkun was immediately drawn to Tsunade beside him. "I didn't expect to run into the legendary Sannin of Konoha here. Kakashi, what do you want? Did you run into some big trouble? Just so you know, I'm only a tracking type, not good at fighting."
"Kakashi's eight ninja dogs, huh? Such a cowardly and timid personality." Tsunade, who was resting, teased him, making Kakashi's vision go black and him feel a little embarrassed.
"Ahem..." Kakashi coughed to cover his embarrassment, then bent down and leaned closer with a dark expression. "Pakkun, I want to know if we're being followed!"
"Just gathering intelligence? You scared me." Parker breathed a sigh of relief and even wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead.
This left Kakashi speechless once again, while also causing a glint of light to flash in Ishikawa's eyes.
Pakkun, Kakashi's tracking summon, is famous for his keen sense of smell. He can not only detect enemy movements but also determine their numbers and approximate strength, making him comparable to ordinary sensory techniques in some respects.
He can't get the slug for now, how about getting a ninja dog to make do for now? Without Byakugan or sensory abilities, a ninja dog is the best supplement for gathering enemy intelligence.
"I haven't smelled any other ninjas within at least two kilometers. Kakashi, what are you guys doing?" Just as Ishikawa was lost in thought, Pakkun sniffed and activated his tracking technique.
Immediately, Ishikawa and his two underlings were taken aback by this astonishing ability to gather information, their eyes filled with longing.
"It seems they didn't chase after us, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi exhaled a breath of stale air, not answering, but turning to Tsunade and nodding.
"Ha, it seems things are perfectly resolved." Tsunade's spirits lifted immediately, and she stood up with a smile, bumping her fists together. "Well then, Kakashi, we'll take our leave!"
Thinking of that unprecedented 500 million in initial capital, Tsunade couldn't help but feel itchy and eager to put her skills to use.
"Lady Tsunade, even if you don't want to go back to the village, please leave your contact information." Seeing Tsunade about to leave, Kakashi quickly stepped forward to request.
I finally bumped into Tsunade, but if I didn't exchange contact information, wouldn't it be the same as never having met her at all? How am I supposed to report this to the Third Hokage when I get back?
As for not reporting it? Impossible. Extorting 500 million kyats from Kumogakure for medical fees is something the Third Hokage couldn't possibly keep quiet. If Kumogakure used it as a pretext to cause trouble, Kakashi wouldn't be able to handle it.
Furthermore, the matter of hemophobia needs to be reported to the Hokage! This is related to Team 7's A-rank mission assessment. We can't let everyone bleed and risk their lives without receiving the treatment they deserve.
"Tch, what a nuisance." Tsunade paused, then tossed a small, bright red vial to Kakashi. "This contains my blood. If you need to summon slugs, they can find me. But Kakashi, I don't want you to give this to the old man."
"Understood, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi paused slightly, a bitter look flashing in his eyes as he put away the blood vial and nodded in response.
"Oh, right." Suddenly, Tsunade turned around after taking only a few steps, her beautiful brown eyes fixed on Ishikawa. "Kid, if you want to contract a slug, then train harder! If your monstrous strength satisfies me next time we meet, I'll give you a chance to contract a slug."
"Really?!" Ishikawa blurted out instinctively, overjoyed!
He was even preparing to go find the slug that Tsunade had a contract with in the Third Shinobi World War, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better here.
As for failing in cultivation? What a joke. With the doorknob as a cheat code, even if he's a complete waste, he shouldn't be unable to learn the Thousand Hands Super Strength.
"Of course, I'm one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha." Tsunade said with dissatisfaction, looking at the surprised Tsunade. She nodded to Kakashi and turned to leave with a look of astonishment.
[The next time we meet will probably be two years from now! Fifth Hokage...] Watching the golden ponytail disappear into the distance, Ishikawa's eyes gleamed with a surge of heroic spirit.
With the Lightning Release Armor and the Thousand Hands Strength, Ishikawa was confident that he could surpass the Konoha 11s and become the number one fighter after Naruto and Sasuke.
"Let's go, Kakashi-sensei."
“Teacher??” Pakkun’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard Ishikawa address Kakashi.
Kakashi is leading a team as babysitters now?!
"Let's head back to the village. Puck, you're in charge of keeping watch along the way." Kakashi gave Puck a deadpan look, then gave the order and led the way across the border of the Land of Sugi.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"Lady Tsunade, are you really going to give Ishikawa a chance to form a contract with a slug? Then why did you refuse him before?" Shizune asked nervously on the picturesque dirt road.
A contract with a slug means becoming master and disciple and inheriting the legacy of the Three Legendary Sannin! Ishikawa, do you really have that talent? Tsunade's legacy isn't just about martial prowess, but also her unparalleled medical ninjutsu.
"Well, I was just teasing him, don't overthink it, Shizune!" Tsunade replied casually, a sly smile of smug satisfaction on her face, as Shizune's lips twitched.
That brat took advantage of her so much and still wants to contract a slug? Dream on...
"But what if Ishikawa succeeds in mastering superhuman strength?" Shizune asked again, silently mourning for Ishikawa as she watched Tsunade's smug grin.
"Didn't I tell you? At the very least, you have to satisfy me!"
"Huh? Are you saying you won't be satisfied no matter how strong he is?? That's too cunning and treacherous, Lady Tsunade..."
"Hahaha... Don't say that, Shizune. I'm just giving him the motivation to become stronger. It's for his own good!"
"No, that's not it! You're just getting revenge for what he did to me before..."
"Hahaha, how could I be so petty! Let's not talk about that for now. There seems to be a town nearby. We have plenty of money now, so let's go there and have a couple of rounds."
"No! Go pay off your debts first, pay off your debts!!"
"Silent Girl~~"
"Don't do that, Lady Tsunade. We must first pay off the gambling debts, and then proceed according to plan..."
"Huh? Isn't that boring! No, do as I say."
"No, listen to me..."
On the dirt path surrounded by green grass, two voices echoed continuously in the air above the fields, intertwining with the chirping of flowers, birds, and insects, creating a beautiful picture...
