#85 - Chapter 85: Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki
“Then how much do you want? Anyway, one million is absolutely impossible!”
“Then one…”
“One hundred thousand is also impossible!”
“Ten…”
“Ten thousand is also impossible!”
“Forget it then, go yourself. I also have my bottom line. Giving you the chance to bargain is already giving you a lot of face!”
Naruto waved his hand, acting like he was shooing him away.
But how could Jiraiya be willing to leave?
In his heart, he already regarded Naruto as the legendary Child of Prophecy. He must keep Naruto by his side to train!
“Twelve thousand taels!”
Jiraiya shouted, “This is the highest price I can give!! Any more is out of the question! At worst, I’ll just go interview that graceful and beautiful woman myself!”
“You are one of the Legendary Sannin of the Leaf, a best-selling author in the ninja world. You must have over a hundred million in savings, right?”
Naruto rolled his eyes, “Are you planning to take your money to the afterlife with you, being so stingy?”
“What do you little brats know? I have uses for this money!” Jiraiya pouted. “How about it? Twelve thousand taels, will you come with me?”
“Twelve thousand taels a day?”
“Um…”
“You really only want to give me twelve thousand taels, huh?”
“Twelve thousand taels a day! Happy now?”
Jiraiya looked helpless. “Why are you so interested in money at such a young age? And don’t you have a gold coin toad? Just have it spit out a few more gold coins!”
“You think I want your money? I need to make a living!”
Naruto snorted. His little savings, including the gold coins that the gold coin toad spat out, were almost all squandered by Jiraiya!
Twelve thousand taels a day is really too little!
“When do we leave?”
“Naturally, the sooner the better.”
“Then let’s go today.”
Naruto jumped up, looked at the sun still high in the sky, and then held out his hand to Jiraiya, “Give me today’s twelve thousand taels, now!”
“……”
“I’ll give it to you when we get back!”
“Don’t even try, you definitely won’t give it to me when we get back!”
“You don’t even trust your teacher?”
“Even if you were my dad, I wouldn’t trust you, baaaaka yaaaarooo!”
“You dare to insult me? Baaaaka!”
“Give me the money, baaaaka yaaaarooo!”
“I won’t give it to you! Baaaaka!”
“If you don’t give it to me, I won’t go, baaaaka yaaaarooo!”
“Then don’t go, baaaaka!”
“Then don’t go, baaaaka yaaaarooo!”
Unknowingly, the two of them started cursing each other for a slight verbal advantage. In the end, Jiraiya compromised and gave Naruto twelve thousand taels to stop this meaningless cursing war.
“What a greedy little brat.” Jiraiya said unhappily.
“You have no right to talk about others, do you?” Naruto glanced at Jiraiya’s bankbook, saying sarcastically.
“Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with you. Hurry up and pack your things, we’ll leave immediately. Time is of the essence!” Jiraiya urged.
He didn’t know exactly where he could find Tsunade, he could only go to the places where Tsunade was most likely to be.
This was a game about luck, so Jiraiya had to race against time.
Although he was unwilling to take on the responsibility of Hokage, he deeply cared about the Leaf Village.
Tsunade was the same…
Naruto returned home and simply packed two sets of clothes, then prepared to leave the Leaf Village with Jiraiya.
“If I leave now, is that considered leaving my post without permission? Is it really okay?” Naruto suddenly said.
Jiraiya glanced at Naruto, speechless.
You’re only thinking about this now?
“Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to Kakashi about it for you, it’s fine.” Jiraiya said.
“That’s good.”
Naruto carried his backpack and said again, “Where are we going first?”
“Let’s go to the post town first, she might be there.” Jiraiya said.
Post town?
Naruto remembered that Jiraiya encountered Tsunade in Tanzaku Town, but he didn’t remind Jiraiya to go directly to Tanzaku Town.
One was that he couldn’t explain why he knew about Tsunade and why he would guess Tanzaku Town.
Second, it wouldn’t hurt him to look for a few more days, he could earn more money.
There were no missions to do if he stayed in the Leaf Village now, and even if there were, they wouldn’t pay… he didn’t want to stay and do hard labor.
After leaving the Leaf Village, they walked about ten kilometers and arrived at a very bustling town.
This town gathered many entertainment facilities.
Taverns, musical instruments, casinos…
It seemed like the kind of place Tsunade would be, but also the kind of place Jiraiya would come!
“Let’s rest here today.” Jiraiya found an inn and booked a room.
“Whatever.”
Naruto had no objections, took the room key and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiraiya.
“Remember to come down with me to gather material after you put your things away! You took my money, you’re not allowed to run away!”
“Got it.”
Naruto rolled his eyes, broke free of his hand and walked up to the second floor.
But when he came down from the second floor, he found that Jiraiya was gone.
“?”
“Telling me not to run away, but running away himself?”
Naruto was a little puzzled, but soon stopped thinking about it.
If he ran away, he ran away, anyway, he didn’t want to go in the first place.
So-called gathering material was just doing some lewd things to women.
Returning to the room, Naruto lay on the bed and planned to rest for a while.
After walking so far, although it wasn’t tiring, he had to replenish his energy so that he could stay up all night!
However, before he could sleep for long, there was a knock on the door.
After several months of ninja life, Naruto’s sleep had also become very light, basically he could wake up with the slightest disturbance.
He looked up at the door, a little puzzled.
Did Jiraiya come back?
No… no, if this guy came back, he would definitely shout his name.
And if it wasn’t Jiraiya, then it could only be those two who came looking for him, right?
Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame!
But these two were quite polite, even though they came to capture him, they still knew to knock on the door instead of choosing to sneak in.
Were they looking down on him?
Naruto got out of bed, came to the door and slowly opened it, revealing two people in red cloud black robes outside the door.
One person, one shark person.
“The Nine-Tails is actually sealed in such a little brat’s body?” Hoshigaki Kisame seemed a little surprised when he saw Naruto for the first time.
Uchiha Itachi, on the other hand, was expressionless, quietly looking at Naruto, and said, “Naruto, come with us.”
“Okay.”
Naruto walked out of the room and closed the door, not flustered at all, “Where are we going?”
??
Kisame’s face paused, then he laughed: “Hey, I was wondering whether to cut off one of his legs to prevent him from escaping, but I didn’t expect this kid to be so cooperative!”
Uchiha Itachi was not as optimistic as Hoshigaki Kisame.
Because he found that Naruto’s expression was too calm, this was not how a kid should be when encountering dangerous strangers!
