Chapter 93: First Encounter with Wang Shou, Still So Fond of Gambling
These days, the three of them have been living very quietly. Due to Kakashi's intense training, Tsunade has no choice but to teach her young disciple seriously. (All teachers are perverted uncles - Kakashi).
After hurrying on the road for several days, the three of them finally arrived at Duancheng Street in the afternoon. Meng Ling looked around at the bustling scene and was slightly surprised by the exotic atmosphere. She then closed her eyes, and her divine sense immediately emerged from her body, gradually enveloping the entire street.
"We've finally found it, and now the main road is already here, so I don't need to rush anymore. Naruto, let's find an inn around here to stay for today." Ming Leng said to Naruto behind him.
"Why? It seems like it's still early today, we can continue on our journey." asked the self-proclaimed expert beside him.
"Don't worry, let's just stay here for the night. I have a feeling that something interesting will happen today." Meng Ling said with a smile, pointing to an inn.
"Uh, got it." After responding with a puzzled tone, he took Naruto directly into the inn. The three of them tidied up their rooms and rested for a while before it was time to go out for dinner. So they left the inn and started their dinner quest for the day.
Because the three of them were always together at the inn, Orochimaru's loud noise did not alert Jiraiya and Naruto, but Tsunade used her sensory skills to detect the conversation between Tsunade and Orochimaru. However, unlike in the original story, Orochimaru proposed a condition besides asking Tsunade to heal his arms...
"Hmph, you're actually plotting against me? Well, Orochimaru, this time I'll let you suffer a bit." After learning of Orochimaru's intentions, Mei Ling didn't say much, but she had already come up with a plan.
"This time, should I also cripple his legs or... Heh heh!" Meng Ling sneered, already having a wicked idea.
So, Mei Ling and Jiraiya and Naruto came to a restaurant together. It was here that Mei Ling finally saw Tsunade, who looked like she was in her 20s but was actually over 50 years old. And just like in the original story, Jiraiya let out a loud cry of surprise as soon as he saw Tsunade.
Suddenly, the three of them sat down together and started tonight's dinner. However, Nagato's gaze was a bit unusual when he looked at Mu Lin. Mu Lin knew the reason, but didn't show any abnormality. This meal also went exactly like in the original story. When Naruto heard that Nagato was going to be the fifth Hokage of Konoha Village, he was shocked. The subsequent events also unfolded exactly as they did in the original story. Just then, Nagato took Naruto out for a one-on-one fight. But Mu Lin had already known the outcome, so she didn't follow them and instead started her own dessert journey alone in the restaurant.
The story splits into two threads. While Mei Ling was still enjoying her dessert, Nagato and Naruto had already arrived outside, ready to begin their "confrontation".
"For someone who insults the Will of Fire, I won't hold back - Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto didn't rashly charge forward like in the original story. Instead, he immediately created five shadow clones to gather information about his opponent's fighting style, a tactic taught to him by Mei Terumi.
"Hmm, you don't look that weak after all. But for me, taking care of you would only require a single finger." As he said this, Nagato stretched out the index finger on his right hand and wiggled it back and forth in front of Naruto's face.
"You underestimate me." Seeing Kagami's disdainful attitude towards himself, Narumitsu's impulsive personality overcame his rationality, and he suddenly drew out Kusunagi and charged forward with his doppelganger.
"Hmm, it seems that Naruto's training quantity is still lacking. Tomorrow will have to be doubled." Seeing Naruto still being so impulsive, in the heart of Mei who was still enjoying her dessert, there was a hint of dissatisfaction.
As for Naruto, Tsunade directly used a strange power to smash the road in front of her, and a strong backlash directly sent six Narutos, including the original one, flying out.
"Damn..." He slowly got up from the ground, and this time Naruto was much calmer. In the end, he directly used Shadow Clone to use Rasengan, unlike in the original story, Naruto this time had used a complete version of Rasengan, even Tsunade was shocked. Until the end, she couldn't help but use her right hand to firmly grasp the hand that Naruto used to cast Rasengan.
"Kanade, you're using one hand, aren't you? That doesn't seem to match the number of fingers you mentioned just now." A bystander, Jiraiya, also witnessed this scene and immediately spoke up.
"Was it you who taught him the Rasengan? With this move, I wouldn't be able to defend against it with just one finger either." Tsunade tossed Naruto aside and asked discontentedly.
"After all, I'm also his master." Zuo Laiye said solemnly.
"Hmph, the only ones who can use that jutsu are the Fourth Hokage and you. Although the method you used just now was a bit strange, it seems we've got another person who can use Rasengan. Look at him, he didn't even seem like he could normally use Rasengan in the first place. And yet you still dare to call yourself his master? I think you should just give up. No wonder this little brat would spout nonsense about wanting to become Hokage." Nagato said coldly.
"Hmph, this isn't nonsense at all, you dimwit! Just watch, with just three days of practice, I'll be able to use the Rasengan with one hand!" Hearing Hinata's self-deprecation, Naruto immediately became restless and stood up, starting his own brand of boastful rambling again.
"This is what you said, little devil, don't go back on your word." Gang hand smiled lightly and said.
"Hmph, I always speak directly, that's my way of endurance." Naruto also said coolly.
"Let's make a bet," Gang said.
"Gambling?" Naruto was taken aback.
"I'll give you a week's time, if you can really master the Rasengan with one hand within this week, then I'll acknowledge that you're capable of becoming the Hokage and give you this necklace..."
"Kagami-sama, that's important..." Kagami had barely finished speaking when Shizune beside her stood up.
"That broken necklace I don't want it." Naruto said with his head in his hands.
"Don't say that, Naruto. It's the only one in the world and selling it would be like trading away three mountains. It's a memento of the First Hokage."
"Awesome!" Just as Kakashi finished speaking, two large '¥' symbols appeared in Naruto's eyes. It seems that Naruto is also unable to resist the temptation of money. With a serious expression, Naruto agreed to Tsunade's request, and Tsunade took out Naruto's frog wallet, saying that if Naruto lost, then the money would belong to her. This left Naruto bewildered, as he had no idea when Tsunade had taken his wallet.
"You're still as reckless with your bets, Nagato. I want to say that this is impossible, but Nagato, it seems like you'll lose again this time." Sasuke said from the side.
"Oh? Are you so sure?" Gang Shou asked with some puzzlement.
"You should know, the training of Rasengan has three stages. Although Naruto's completion of the third stage was a bit forced, he completed the first two stages in less than two weeks. To think that the Fourth Hokage took over a year to complete it back then. And, I forgot to tell you, it wasn't me who taught Naruto the Rasengan, but rather that little girl inside. Although I don't want to say it, her strength and age are not on the same level at all. She's probably already surpassed Jonin level." Jiraiya said.
"What did you say? Power that surpasses the Shadow Level? How is that possible?" Although he had already known from Orochimaru's words that Hyuga Neji's strength was not simple, but when he personally observed him, he had already come to a conclusion. But now being said by Jiraiya in such an exaggerated manner, even Tsunade couldn't help but be surprised. With a serious expression, she looked at Neji who was still enjoying his dessert in the shop, and wondered what was going through her mind.
"Alright, in that case, I'll be the witness to this bet. Nagato, let me remind you, your chances of winning are almost zero." Neji also understood Nagato's intention and directly became a witness, but in his heart, he knew that Nagato's necklace was already as good as Might Guy's possession.
That's how Naruto told Miren about the gamble, asking for her help in training, and Miren, being a competitive person, readily agreed. Then, Miren went to live with Tsunade and Shizune in one room, while Naruto lived with Jiraiya in another. Before going to sleep, Miren also shared a small secret with Naruto about practicing the Rasengan: since he couldn't maintain it well, he should start by training his finger strength first, which would greatly increase his training speed and reduce unnecessary effort.
After arranging the matters of Minamoto, Meng Ling directly went to the bathroom and started her own "dignified" peeping action. However, Meng Ling was very depressed because she found that her chest had already begun to develop, which made Meng Ling very regretful, but there was no way, after all, she couldn't cut off the thing in front of her, Meng Ling couldn't bear to be self-abusive to that extent.
"Alas, let's just go with the flow. At most, I'll have to endure a few more years, and maybe when my 'Tian Dao Jiu Jue' cultivation reaches a certain level, I might be able to turn back into a man. Worrying about it now is also useless." Meng Ling comforted herself slightly before heading back to the room where the three 'ladies' lived...
