Chapter 121 A Big Shot Like You
"..."
The Souji was speechless for a moment, and could only rub his forehead and whisper:
"I told you to let me finish… What I mean is that she has a very high talent for being a medical ninja.
This biting is just an instinctive expression of her medical talent.
Actually, she doesn't have to do this. Karin can train in real medical ninjutsu and make full use of her talent."
"Huh? Is that so..."
Upon hearing this, Konan smiled sheepishly and said:
"I'm sorry, I was in a bit of a rush just now..."
"Never mind, this is also a sign of your kindness."
The Souji waved his hand casually, not caring at all.
Because of their performance, Karin's Mother felt much more at ease, which is a good development.
"That's it, Karin.
We need your medical skills, but we won't hurt you as we did in Kusagakure.
In exchange, how about you join us and become one of our members?
That should be a good thing for you, right?"
"Yes, yes! I'd like to join! Please let me join!"
Karin's Mother probably understood by now, and naturally nodded in agreement.
As Souji said, this was indeed a great thing for her, it was like escaping from hell to heaven, how could she not agree?
"Hmm, very good. So this is the foundation of medical ninjutsu.
Take a look at it yourself first, and ask me if you don't understand anything."
Souji smiled and handed a scroll to Karin.
Although medical ninjutsu requires profound knowledge and a considerable amount of time to cultivate, medical ninjutsu, like other ninjutsu, is not particularly profound or difficult in theory.
Whether one can master it depends mainly on talent, such as the ability to finely control chakra and the total amount of chakra.
Talented people cultivate very quickly.
With a talent as strong as Karin's, who can instinctively produce a biting healing effect, coupled with the Uzumaki clan's naturally enormous chakra reserves, her cultivation speed would definitely be a thousand miles a day, more than a hundred times faster than ordinary people.
At the same time, he doesn't need much effort or time to teach; he understands many things very quickly.
Having talent means you can do whatever you want.
This is a thought that Souji often had when he was just a Chunin, looking at Minato.
Looking at Karin's Mother now, the thought resurfaced, and at the same time, I felt thankful that I had a cheat code...
The Souji beckoned Utakata over and said:
"For the time being, Sasori, you'll be taking care of Karin, and Utakata will join you too."
"What a hassle, do we have to add another one? Can't we have someone else take care of her?"
Sasori was quite dissatisfied.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll see how it goes. If it's really not suitable, we'll find someone else."
"snort..."
Sasori was still dissatisfied, but didn't say anything more.
Because the seal on Utakata had been broken beforehand, even though Souji didn't intend to use Utakata as a combatant, it was just in case that Utakata would at least have the ability to protect himself if attacked in any situation.
Sasori is aloof, and Utakata is calm and collected, so they won't be too bothersome.
This should be good for Karin to adapt to the environment.
If all else fails, we can consider having Yahiko and the other two take care of her.
Having made his decision, Souji thought for a moment, then looked at Kakuzu and said:
"I've heard that the Land of Waterfalls has a lot of underground black markets and money exchange shops?"
"There are several places."
Kakuzu slowly replied:
"Speaking of which, didn't you ask us to gather intelligence on Tsunade's whereabouts?
How about we go and check?"
"To facilitate doing business, most people in these industries communicate with each other, and their intelligence-gathering capabilities are actually no worse than those of the intelligence departments of the five great ninja villages."
"Is that so?
Then let's go take a look."
"There's one nearby..."
Kakuzu briefly explained the location of the nearest gold exchange.
Since it would be quick to walk there, the commander had Konan take out the rice balls as payment and let the dragons return to Dragon Island first.
The group followed Kakuzu and soon arrived at a small town.
From the outside, it's just an ordinary little town, quite peaceful, with thriving commerce and bustling activity.
I didn't see any dangerous people here.
"There aren't many people in this line of work, and they generally don't go out much during the day, so you can't tell from the outside that there's a gold exchange shop."
Kakuzu casually explained a few things, then led everyone to a place that resembled a vegetable market, and then knocked on the door of a warehouse.
The door opened a crack, and a short old man peered out through the gap. His eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised.
"It's...it's you..."
"Hmph, long time no see, hurry up and open the door.
The short old man glanced at the crowd behind Kakuzu and hesitated before saying:
"You've brought way too many people, haven't you?
Do you think this is a tourist attraction?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm in a bad mood lately. If you provoke me again..."
A hint of murderous intent flickered in Kakuzu's eyes.
The murderous aura emanating from the Kage-level expert immediately sent shivers down the spines of Yahiko and the others, whose strength was not as great.
At this moment, Souji placed his hand on Kakuzu's shoulder and stopped him.
"Okay, there's no need to be so irritable."
The reason I'm in a bad mood is because of you!
He had lived a carefree life for decades, but one day, someone suddenly appeared and killed two of his men, forcing him to submit to someone else from then on.
How can I be in a good mood like this?!
Souji ignored Kakuzu's pleas and said to the old man who opened the door:
"Is it alright if only three people come in?"
"All right..."
The Souji nodded slightly, then told the others to wait outside, and only took Sasori and Kakuzu inside.
Behind the door was a passageway.
Following the old man, we soon arrived at an interior space with several oil lamps hanging on the walls.
The place was quite large, but it was rather dark because it was only lit by oil lamps and had no other light sources.
The short old man was accompanied by four guards, and several more people stood at a distance, which seemed to be the defense force of this gold exchange.
Intuitively, these people are quite strong, and with ten of them, it should be enough to prevent any accidental conflicts.
Of course, for the three Kage-level fighters of Souji, they were nothing to mention.
The short old man sized up the Souji a few times, then said solemnly:
"You are Mochizuki Souji of Konoha?
The man who killed the Mizukage, forced Kirigakure to surrender, and subdued Kakuzu..."
As he said this, the short old man laughed:
"What brings such an important person like you here?
Our business here doesn't seem to be a good fit for you, does it?"
"That is indeed your main job, but I'm here for your side business."
The Souji calmly replied:
"I want to know the whereabouts of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
Do you have any relevant information?"
"Oh? Tsunade?" The short old man looked somewhat surprised.
"You have intelligence?"
"Yes, we do have that..."
The short old man sized up Souji for a long time, and finally said softly:
"Forget it, the intelligence fee isn't worth much anyway.
Someone as important as you deserves my goodwill. I won't take the money this time."
"Tsunade is in this town right now."
