Chapter 121 : Meeting Tsunade.
🕑 Added 2021-10-09 04:57:51 +0000 UTCAfter experiencing firsthand how strong Mukai truly was, We finally finished our lunch and decided to go on with our journey to the land of tea.
Once we entered this country, we finally said goodbye to Ryukai and Hotaru as their destination was in a different direction than ours, while we continued our journey on foot to port Degarashi while enjoying the scenery on our way there and it didn't take us long to arrive…
This port was a famous tourist attraction, so having great sceneries was obvious, so I simply decided to leave the kids with Itachi and Shisui to enjoy themselves while I go find Tsunade with Mukai, but someone clearly didn't want to leave us alone… it was Kakashi who kept insisting on coming with us…
"Fine you can come, but don't ruin my business, you will keep your mouth shut during the negotiations" I said to Kakashi coldly and Mukai too had the same expression as he knew they couldn't mess this up…
"Okay" Nodded Kakashi with a laid-back expression, and we directly started walking in the direction of a casino which is where Tsunade was drinking and gambling right now.
I didn't want to waste too much time looking for her so I simply sent a shadow clone ahead of time to find her when we entered the land of the tea…
Inside the casino, Tsunade was currently causing a mess In her drunk state, not even caring that it was only the afternoon while her apprentice Shizune tried her best to hold her back to no avail and before we even entered, we could already hear a woman yelling at the top of her voice "Bring more drinks!!!" while slamming a gambling table causing it to crack and the ground under it started vibrating…
'What the hell is going on?' thought Kakashi with a surprised expression while Mukai's eyes simply started shining in hope of meeting this legendary ninja and the possibility of healing his kid…
Once inside, we noticed that the casino manager was trying to reason with the drunk Tsunade to the best of his abilities, but nothing seemed to work… Until we entered and she turned to look at us directly.
Her gaze didn't last long on me or on Mukai because she didn't know us and we weren't wearing any headband that would affiliate us with the hidden villages, but Kakashi was a different story!
After all, he was the grand student of her friend, not to mention how famous his father Sakumo was and she also met him many times in the past during the third ninja war and knew about his tragic life so she couldn't help but feel slightly surprised when she saw him and her drunkenness started subsiding…
Kakashi felt the same way as his only visible eye widened in surprise as he said "What are you doing here lady Tsunade?" then he shot me an inquiring look that said 'Are you here to meet lady Tsunade?'
'This idiot, I told you not to speak' I shot him a glare before I heard Tsunade's reply
"I'm just enjoying my life, what are you doing here Kakashi? and who are these two that came with you?"
Kakashi suddenly had hope in taking down Mukai with Tsunade's help so he shamelessly said "That guy over there is a traitor from the village, as for the kid… he's from the Uchiha clan, lady Tsunade can you help me take that guy out, he's really a huge danger to the village"
Tsunade's eyes widened a little and she narrowed her eyes at Mukai who for the first time put on a very serious face, but to everyone's surprise, he simply took a step back and hid behind the Uchiha kid as a sly smile adorned his face
My face started twitching as I turned to Mukai and said "You have no honor do you?" Mukai put on a curious look on his face as he replied "What is this honor you speak of?"
"Go fu- never mind" I simply let out a sigh at this helpless case while Tsunade simply shook her head at Kakashi and said "Konoha's matters do not concern me anymore"
"But lady Tsunade, this guy is reall-" "Ok shut up Kakashi, stop messing with our business" I said while looking coldly at Kakashi which surprised Tsunade 'This kid is so relaxed, was it just a coincidence that guy chose to hide behind him?'
But she didn't want to bother thinking too much, especially since she was still a little drunk so she asked "What business do you have, kid?"
Kakashi tried to speak again, but I shot him a look to shut him up before I walked to Tsunade's table with a smile and said "First of all, how can we talk without introductions… I'm Bakorio Uchiha, and this guy over here as you can see is my dear friend Mukai Kohinata, his family branched from the Hyuga clan a long time ago so you can say that he's also from Konoha"
Tsunade shot a look at Kakashi for confirmation and he reluctantly nodded his head. Seeing this, Tsunade looked at me and asked "So what does a kid like you want from me?"
"Oh, why the rush, how about we enjoy some drinks first? It will be on me!" I said with a smile but to my surprise, Tsunade had a nostalgic look as she said "You remind me of a certain snake bastard I know…" but then she smiled and said "But I can't say no to a drink"
Meanwhile, Shizune shot me a weird look which I noticed but I decided not to read too much into it because I was focused on this beauty in front of me… but I will regret this decision very soon…
"Waiter, bring some drinks to this beauty" I said as I sat down on the table in front of Tsunade while Mukai kept standing behind me like the creep he is and using me as a human shield just in case Tsunade decided to change her mind and help Kakashi…
However, instead of a waiter, we were actually approached by the manager that was trying to reason with Tsunade earlier and he said "I apologize sir but we can't offer this lady any more drinks until she pays off her debts…"
For some reason, I started feeling my pockets screaming at me and I was about to stand up and leave but a hand suddenly extended from in front of me and held me in place feeling like a mountain was put over my shoulder which contrasted with the cute look Tsunade was sending me as she did this 'This bitch's actually taking advantage of a kid!'
I couldn't help but let out a sigh as I shot her an angry look which made her cute look turn into embarrassment before I said "H-how much is this debt?" I asked this question through my gritted teeth and the manager simply dropped the bomb on me " 5,000,000 Ryo"
My face turned a shade paler prompting Shizune to think 'What a poor kid' before she shot Tsunade an angry look… but then, an Idea suddenly hit me as I said "Oh please write it off under the name Fugaku Uchiha, we are from the same clan and he's the new Hokage of Konoha, I'm sure he will pay you soon"
The manager was tempted after he knew he couldn't get his money from a random kid and if he could gain the favor of the new Hokage, this could be even greater for him and the family behind him…
"But can you really use the Hokage's name?" asked the manager and I simply said "Oh, don't worry, I'm even traveling with his only two sons, so it should be no problem, right Kakashi?"
"R-right" Kakashi reluctantly nodded and seeing the Konoha headband on his head made the manager more convinced as he brought us some drinks and Mukai shamelessly picked one
"This was really a good trick to deal with your debts" said Tsunade who started enjoying herself and thinking I was lying, but I surprised her when I said "No, I was telling the truth"
Suddenly all the drunkenness disappeared from Tsunade's face and was replaced by a dumbfounded look as asked "You mean the rumors are true and Konoha really has a new Hokage? And it's an Uchiha?"
'Well, I guess it's only been three or so days since the changes happened and the news didn't spread widely yet and only unconfirmed rumors reached here, at least the manager seemed to know the truth, can't expect less from someone running a casino…' I thought before I simply said "Yes, Fugaku is officially the fifth Hokage of Konoha"
"EHHHH" Both Shizune and Tsunade yelled at the same time as she stood up from the table causing something to jiggle violently putting everyone in a very dangerous Genjutsu …

An: Jiggle no Jutsu!
