"Very well."
Tsunade sketched a small smile.
She didn't want to hear Yeruashi say he was going back to Konoha and then ask him to come back with her, because she didn't want to go back to Konoha at all.
"Then you'll stay at the camp for now, we'll leave after all the wounded are sent to Konoha."
"Yes, Tsunade-sensei!"
Yeruashi replied with a smile.
In the past few days, Tsunade's mood had improved remarkably, on the one hand, her blood phobia was cured, on the other hand, the war was also over.
After all she had been through, she hated war.
If it weren't for her sense of responsibility for Konoha, Tsunade would never have agreed to Hiruzen and Jiraiya's repeated requests to go to the battlefield.
She stopped paying attention to Yeruashi and began to sink into her thoughts.
"Hmm, my debts are too high, it won't be safe in the Fire Country? Maybe I should try my luck in the Rain Country? But in the event of a collision with Hanzo, there will be trouble..."
Yeruashi: "..."
Shizune: "..."
Hearing Tsunade's muttering, Shizune and Yeruashi looked at each other, showing helpless expression.
Given Tsunade's luck and gambling skills, it's scary to imagine how much money she can leave in the casino.
"Will the Legendary Loser's name resonate across the vast expanses of the Land of Rain?"
Of course, Yeruashi didn't dare to say those words out loud.
...
The situation of Tsunade taking Yeruashi as a disciple caused some consternation among the higher-ups in Konoha.
Even Danzo frowned visibly.
Hiruzen smiled bitterly, now that Yeruashi was involved with Tsunade. Actually, he felt more comfortable with Yeruashi following Tsunade than Orochimaru, because Tsunade didn't have much ambition.
But there is a problem, Tsunade should know that Yeruashi was Orochimaru's student, but still agreed to take him as a student, this means that she is at least neutral about Orochimaru's candidacy, maybe she could even be on his side at a critical moment.
It was time for her to deal with the matter of the Fourth Hokage as soon as possible.
Minato's current accomplishments are enough to qualify for the Hokage position, he is a student of Jiraiya and has the support of the civilian population, the clans are not against his candidacy either.
Orochimaru also has enough qualifications, the civilian population is not against his candidacy, but there is some objection among the clans, plus Homura and Koharu are against it.
It was really a headache.
And now, although it seems that the situation in the ninja world was calming down, but with his experience, Hiruzen vaguely felt that a storm is brewing behind this superficial calm.
In the near future, great changes may occur in the ninja world, so perhaps the election of the Fourth Hokage should be postponed, returning to this topic when the situation finally calms down.
...
In two days.
Rin said goodbye to Yeruashi and returned to Konoha with her team.
Two more days later.
Kurenai said goodbye to Yeruashi and headed to Konoha as part of the wounded escort.
With all of Yeruashi's acquaintances missing, Tsunade finally made the decision to return to the Fire Country with Shizune and Yeruashi to train them while gambling at the casino.
Yeruashi finally had the honor of seeing a legendary loser in the act. When he gets good cards, the opponent's cards are bound to be better, and when the opponent gets bad cards, his cards are bound to be even worse.
...
In some casino.
Cold sweat trickled down Tsunade's forehead, and she rested her shaking hands on the table, looking at her square and her opponent's straight flush.
"Looks like you've run out of money."
The middle-aged man sitting opposite looked at Tsunade with a smile.
At the same time.
Near the entrance of the casino sat Yeruashi and Shizune.
Yeruashi held his hand in front of him, a pale green glow flickered in his palm, showing signs of instability, and soon dissipated.
During Yeruashi's study in the past week of Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, he also managed to find out about Byakug no In.
For example.
Byakug no In is a technique that treats the user independently, which is similar to writing a program for chakra, requiring extremely fine chakra control.
Now Yeruashi's chakra control is far from the standard of this technique, so he has decided to train the most basic medical ninjutsu for the development of this aspect.
Of course.
In the process of studying medical ninjutsu, Yeruashi has not forgotten to practice Hachimon Tonko, he always used weights, the weight of which had just reached horrible levels.
If Yeruashi did not emit chakra from his feet to distribute the load over the area, then standing on a slightly soft ground, he would simply destroy it.
With such a weight, even a simple walk could be equated to a workout.
This was impossible to hide from Tsunade, but she did not object, only complained a little about the fact that he was too fanatical about training and did not know how to enjoy life.
"Have you been able to last more than a minute already?"
Shizune muttered in surprise, watching Yeruashi's training carefully.
Yeruashi was dedicated to the practice of the Mystic Palm Technique.
This is a rather high level medical ninjutsu, which not all medical ninja can master, usually no one starts training with this technique, because it is too difficult.
Shizune has been studying with Tsunade for over a year, but only recently started practicing the Mystic Palm technique.
Yeruashi had come into contact with the Mystic Palm Technique no more than a week ago, but in that short time, she easily surpassed more than a month of her practice, which made Shizune more aware of the true meaning of the word genius.
A genius.
This is a person who can learn in a short time what you have spent a lot of time and effort studying, making you doubt life.
Shizune, of course, never doubted Yeruashi's talent, but she also considered herself very talented in medical ninjutsu, learning everything quite quickly and even gaining Tsunade's approval, but she never thought she would be surpassed by Yeruashi in such a short time.
Continuing to practice the Mystic Palm technique, Yeruashi looked at the nearby casino and turned to Shizune and said, "I wonder when Tsunade-sensei will escape?"
Shizune gradually came to her senses and said, "Usually, it depends on how much money she borrowed, it's almost time....".
Boom!!!
As soon as Shizune said that, a boom came from the casino.
Tsunade then ran out into the street and shouted, "Shizune! Yeruashi! Run!"
"Your assessment is surprisingly accurate..."
Yeruashi stopped practicing the Mystic Palm Technique.
He and Shizune looked at each other, both saw the helplessness in the other's eyes and smiled helplessly at the same time, then together they left their place and ran after Tsunade, fleeing into the distance.
