Chapter 122 Lady Tsunade, please wait
"What? Right here in this town?"
"Yes, she arrived a couple of days ago and has been hanging out at the casinos here, you know what I mean?"
"Hmm...is that so?"
When it comes to Tsunade, besides her snow-white skin, her second attribute is her gambling nature, and she's a sure-fire loser at gambling.
After leaving Konoha, Tsunade traveled around with her former lover's niece, Shizune.
In each new place, they would spend a few days in the local casinos, and...
They lost big time and badly.
In the gambling world, he was known as the 'legendary big fat sheep'.
The short old man continued:
"Because of her arrival, the casino here is in a frenzy! There's no way around it, she's just given away so much money."
"Anyway, you'll probably figure it out yourselves. Consider this information a favor to you."
"Although Kakuzu doesn't make many moves, he's undoubtedly one of the top fighters in our line of work.
But if we can even subdue Kakuzu, someone like you might bring us even more business in the future..."
The Souji couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this:
"You mean I need to come all the way here to pick up a mission?"
"No, no, someone as important as you certainly wouldn't need that.
What I mean is, maybe one day you'll need to put a bounty on someone's head, or maybe it'll be for some other business...
"Anyway, someone like you does big things, and whatever they are, the profits generated must be substantial."
The short old man sighed softly as he spoke:
"Actually, the bounty on the Mizukage... or rather the Five Kage has always been there, and the amount is very high.
It's just a pity that to claim the bounty, we need the corpse of the person on the bounty, and you obviously didn't bring the Mizukage's corpse with you."
"You really dare to say that."
Souji laughed and left with Kakuzu and Sasori.
The short old man escorted them all the way outside.
Only after the person had left did one of the guards speak:
"That person is Mochizuki Souji, who killed the Mizukage... It's strange, I didn't feel a strong sense of threat from him, it was mainly Kakuzu, and another young man..."
"According to experts, that red-haired boy seems to be Sasori, the genius puppeteer of Sunagakure.
The fact that he was able to subdue two such figures as his subordinates means that Mochizuki Souji himself is naturally far stronger than them!"
"With your abilities, you naturally wouldn't be able to perceive how terrifying he is!"
...
Back outside, Souji told the waiting crowd to follow him, and then headed towards the town's casino.
When they arrived at the casino entrance, everyone was puzzled, wondering how they had ended up in a casino.
Just then.
"How dare you! I won the bet, and you dare not pay me back?!"
A woman's voice shouted and cursed, and at the same time, two people suddenly crashed through the casino door and flew out!
The two men fell outside and were so injured that they couldn't even stand up, while inside, the sounds of arguing could still be heard from different people.
"You bastard! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!
So many of us are attacking you, and you two women are just... Waaah!"
Before the person who was cursing could finish speaking, he too flew out of the casino.
"hateful!"
"Damn it! Everyone, attack together!"
"We can't let her take the money!"
The person who said this was also sent flying one after another after a series of screams.
"..."
The Souji and his entourage stared in disbelief.
What are they doing inside?
Soon, the fighting subsided, and more than ten people flew out, but no more people flew out.
A magnanimous, arrogant blonde woman walked out of the casino with a little girl.
These two were naturally Tsunade and Shizune.
Tsunade was carrying a heavy-looking suitcase, which was probably full of money.
Tsunade kicked aside the person who was blocking her way and left with an ruthless gait, while Shizune followed closely behind her, carrying a small pig.
"Lady Tsunade, please wait."
"Um?"
Tsunade paused slightly, turned around and looked back, only to see several strangers approaching.
However, the leader was wearing a Konoha ninja headband, so the one who called out to him earlier must have been this young, black-haired man.
I didn't recognize the others, but one of them, a redhead and a masked man, seemed quite formidable...
This group of people came looking for her...
Tsunade recalled that she had just won a bet and made a lot of money.
Winning money through gambling is always considered an ominous sign, foreshadowing bad things to come.
Could it be these people who came with ill intentions?
Tsunade, with a wary attitude, said in a deep voice:
"You're a Konoha ninja? What do you want with me?"
"Would it be convenient to discuss this briefly?"
What if I say it's inconvenient?
"Hmm... It seems I've caused you some misunderstanding.
Please rest assured, I meant no harm; I simply wanted to talk to you."
As the Souji said this, he gestured for everyone to step back a little.
"..."
Tsunade looked at Souji with sharp eyes. Although she didn't speak, she didn't continue to express her refusal.
Even though she no longer wanted to get involved in ninja affairs, she was still somewhat curious about the purpose of this group of people coming to her.
"I am Mochizuki Souji, a Jonin of Konoha. I am your junior, Lady Tsunade, but I wasn't very famous before, so you probably don't know me."
"Mochizuki... I have some impression of your clan..."
Tsunade looked thoughtful, then put her hands on her hips and asked again:
"So?
What brings you here, Mochizuki clan's outstanding junior who has been promoted to Jonin?"
Since there was no one else around, Souji didn't say anything else and went straight to the point:
"Currently in Konoha, the Hokage is considering candidates for the next Hokage, and I intend to compete to become the Fourth Hokage."
"..."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly; this statement immediately led her to believe that the other party was an extremely ambitious madman.
However, Souji didn't seem to care and continued calmly:
"Furthermore, I will be working to change the entire ninja world and all ninjas.
Therefore, I need subordinates who are similar to the Anbu, but stronger than the Anbu.
I call this the 'Kagebu' because only those who have reached the Kage level or have the potential to reach it can become members of it."
"You...you really have a big mouth!"
To become Hokage and change the ninja world, do you need subordinates with Kage-level strength?
Putting aside the earlier points, the idea of forming a 'Shadow Division' composed entirely of Kage-level members is still quite arrogant...
Those with such strength, if they stayed properly within a powerful organization, would undoubtedly hold high positions.
Even rogue ninjas who escaped from their villages could live carefree lives. They are all top-tier dangerous figures lurking in various parts of the ninja world.
To think that these people could be used and manipulated like ANBU ninjas, primarily Chunin, is truly arrogant and delusional...
