"Um... what kind of person is this Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked curiously after understanding the goal of their trip.
Jiraiya pondered for a moment and replied, "If I had to say, she's an annoying person, super fond of gambling, probably known in almost every country."
"..." Sakura was silent. Was he sure he was talking about the legendary Princess Tsunade?
Jiraiya continued, "Speaking of which, she also has a nickname called—the Legendary Big Fatty Sheep, hahaha."
"Could you be mistaken? Why would she have such a title?" Sakura couldn't accept it. She was now a novice medical ninja, and like most medical ninjas, she looked up to Tsunade as an idol. It was hard for her to accept that her idol had such a bad habit.
"Absolutely not mistaken, because she has always loved to gamble, but her luck is extremely bad, almost always losing, so she is called the Big Fatty Sheep." Jiraiya was very happy to talk about his old friend's embarrassing moments.
"How could this be..." Sakura's admiration for her idol was half shattered. "Then if she's so famous, it should be easy to find her, right?"
However, Jiraiya added another blow, saying, "That's not certain. That guy hates getting old, so she uses a special Ninjutsu to change her appearance. Even though she's already 50 years old, she looks only 20.
Not only that, because she often loses everything and then runs away after borrowing money, she will also turn into a teenager, thirty-something, or forty-something depending on the situation to avoid gambling debts.
Hahaha, it really brings back memories."
Sakura suddenly became dejected, feeling that her worldview had been impacted. Jiraiya of the Three Legendary Sannin was a perverted old man, Tsunade was a gambling addict, so what would the cold Orochimaru be like? A pervert?
Sasuke was equally shocked. One of the dignified Three Legendary Sannin was addicted to gambling and didn't repay debts? Could there be such a shameless person in the world? Then he turned to look at Naruto, feeling that his childhood friend also had this potential.
"Then how should we find her?" Sasuke asked the key question.
"Well, I got some news about her a few days ago. In short, let's go to the town ahead to inquire first."
Along the way, Jiraiya told the three little ones about his various experiences wandering in the ninja world for so many years, such as the customs of various places and the situation of various countries. If he didn't interject from time to time about which hot spring izakaya was the most enthusiastic and which hot spring had mixed bathing, then he would have looked a bit like a reliable senior.
In the evening, the four arrived at a small town. They went to the inn to book rooms first. Jiraiya claimed that he was going out to gather information and told the three of them to have fun on their own.
Naruto expressed his opinion, "Actually, there's no need to stay in an inn, right? Wouldn't it be better for me to use Flying Thunder God to take you back to Konoha to rest? Anyway, I left a mark here, so I can fly back tomorrow."
"No, Naruto," Jiraiya said seriously, "From now on, except for necessary times such as battles and training, I forbid you from using the Flying Thunder God Technique indiscriminately."
"Huh? Why?" I don't have a CD for this teleportation, and I don't lack blue, so why not let me use it?
Jiraiya held up a finger and said, "Listen carefully, I brought you out here to let you train and grow.
The so-called training is not just the cultivation of Ninjutsu, but also the need to strengthen your inner self. Only by walking enough distance step by step and seeing the outside world with your own eyes is this training.
A ninja refers to a person who can endure. If you want to go home at every turn, you will not be able to grow."
Sasuke and Sakura were in awe. As expected of one of the legendary Three Legendary Sannin, although he was lecherous and looked improper, his words were so profound.
"Oh." Naruto also thought what he said made sense, but he always felt that this guy was afraid that he wouldn't be able to go out for drinks if he returned to Konoha.
Jiraiya slipped away, and the three also decided to go out for a stroll. After all, this was only their second time leaving Konoha, and the Land of Waves they went to for the first time was still very poor.
This time, they had to take a good stroll in this prosperous town. This town seemed to be dedicated to providing services for passing pedestrians or merchants, with all kinds of inns, hot springs, shops, and snack streets.
Naruto tasted a few snacks and felt that the taste was not bad. He silently left a Flying Thunder God coordinate on this street, preparing to bring Hinata to eat in the future.
Then he had a whim, why not send Hinata a takeaway now? The old man won't let me use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go home, so can I practice the Space-Time Barrier (or call it Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder?)?
So Naruto packed a copy of each snack, ready to deliver it later.
Sakura enjoyed the feeling of strolling around with Sasuke, although it wasn't just the two of them, but Naruto was always running around buying things, letting the two of them stroll around on their own without having to wait. Anyway, they could find him as soon as they opened the minimap.
Sasuke, no matter how cool he acted, was still a child, and he was curious when he saw all sorts of new things. So, with a reluctant expression, he was dragged by Sakura to look at all kinds of goods and play little games like throwing darts and scooping goldfish.
Sasuke clearly had reluctance written all over his face, but his body was very honest and didn't resist Sakura's invitation. Looking at him, his depressed mood from not being able to train with his brother had dissipated quite a bit.
Especially when Sasuke won a string of bracelets in the dart-throwing game and casually gave it to Sakura, Sakura was so happy that snot bubbles almost came out of her nose, and she was racking her brains thinking about what to give as a return gift.
Inner Sakura: This old lady has nothing to repay you with, how about offering myself?
...
As night fell, the three of them returned from their fun-filled day, went back to the hotel to wash up, and prepared to rest.
Naruto put a large pile of packed snacks on the table, estimating that Hinata's evening training should be over, and began to busy himself.
Thus, in Hinata's bedroom.
"Thump," the two sisters who were playing were attracted by the sound of something falling on the table.
It was a packaging bag, and if you smelled it carefully, it still had the aroma of food.
This wasn't the end of it, followed by "thump thump thump..."
Hanabi was stunned. Father was lying, saying that there was no such thing as a free lunch and that you had to work hard to succeed.
Wasn't this a free lunch? Not only would free lunches fall from the sky, but also Chocolate Bananas, Takoyaki, Creamy Potatoes, Almond Candy...
Hinata looked at the ninja tool bag placed on the table and had a guess—it contained the three-pronged Kunai that Naruto had given her.
Sure enough, a note appeared on the table at the end, with Naruto's handwriting, explaining the source of these foods, and also writing a few words that made Hinata blush.
Of course, Hanabi also saw the note. Hinata couldn't stop her even if she wanted to. What could she do with a family that collectively had a clairvoyance cheat?
"It's that guy again!" Seeing her sister's reaction, Hanabi also knew where these things came from, and ate the Chocolate Banana with a puffed-up face, "Hmph, it's quite sweet..."
