Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 998: I Won't Allow You to Insult Me With Money!

Once Orochimaru left, only Tsunade remained in the vast grassland.

"Gekko Kanpū?"

Tsunade frowned slightly. She had overheard Orochimaru and Tobi's conversation, 'Wasn't Gekko Kanpū the young man who had spent 40 million ryo recently to get treated by me?'

'Aside from being handsome and wealthy, that young man seemed pretty ordinary, without any outstanding qualities.'

'Oh right, he did master Space-Time Ninjutsu. But even so, scaring away Orochimaru with just his name, isn't it too exaggerated?'

'Is Orochimaru getting weaker, or were the new generation Shinobi too fierce?'

Tsunade returned to the small town in a daze. When she passed the gambling hall, she paused, but she was really not in the mood to gamble at that moment.

"Next time… I'll win it all back next time."

Tsunade returned to the inn where she was staying, then saw Shizune outside, who is treating patients to help cover their expenses.

Tsunade nodded lightly, "Something unexpected happened today."

She didn't elaborate on Orochimaru to avoid worrying Shizune.

As for Kanpū looking for her, it was probably another difficult illness to treat. Considering the 40 million ryo, she could help a bit.

Tsunade stood aside, watching Shizune treat people. Before long, a carriage slowly approached.

'They're here!'

Tsunade sensed five Chakra fluctuations.

"Granny Tsunade!" Naruto, who is driving the carriage, immediately shouted upon seeing Tsunade, "Kanpū-sensei, we found her!"

'Granny?'

Tsunade's face darkened. She decided to add another million to the fee!

"Tsunade-sama, Shizune-senpai, long time no see." Kanpū jumped off the carriage, giving a reserved bow, his eyes inadvertently meeting Tsunade's impressive bust.

'Such magnificence…' Hanfeng is also a person who has experienced many things now, so he naturally knows well what this grandeur implied.

Tsunade, already aware of his arrival, simply nodded calmly, displaying the demeanor of a Sannin.

"It's Kanpū."

Shizune stood up to greet him. When she saw Kakashi get off the carriage, her eyes were filled with surprise, "Kakashi, you're here too! What's wrong with your leg? And your eyes…"

After transplanting two Sharingan, Kakashi finally stopped tying his forehead protector the non-mainstream way, and openly displayed the two Sharingan.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Kakashi responded calmly, "As for the eyes, as you can see."

Seeing their conversation began to drift as they continued to chat, the impatient Tsunade on the side quickly cut in, "What do you want from me?"

"Tsunade-sama, actually, this time we…"

Kakashi start to speak, but was interrupted by Tsunade before he finished speaking.

"If it's to heal injuries, don't even start. I've decided not to treat anyone anymore, even if you're a Konoha's Shinobi or a friend of Shizune!" Tsunade said, intending to raise her price significantly.

Kakashi coughed and said, "Tsunade-sama, you've misunderstood. We're not here for treatment."

'You're not?'

Tsunade felt a little depressed, "Then what do you want?"

"Tsunade-sama, I would like to request you to teach me the Yin Seal!" Kakashi solemnly asked.

"What did you say?" Tsunade looked at Kakashi in disbelief.

Kakashi took a deep breath and repeated, "Tsunade-sama, I want to learn the Yin Seal!"

"Want to learn…Yin Seal?"

Tsunade crossed her arms under her chest, then said with a face filled with resistance, "What a joke!"

'She hadn't even taught it to Shizune. Teach it to you? You think your grandfather is the Hokage or something?'

Tsunade was too lazy to argue further and turned to enter the inn.

Kakashi shrugged helplessly and looked at Kanpū, silently asking for the next step in the plan.

Kanpū quickly responded with a polite and knowing smile.

'What can I say?'

Judging from Tsunade's attitude just now, Kanpū felt that 'money power' wouldn't work this time.

"Kakashi, why do you suddenly want to learn the Yin Seal?" Shizune next to them asked curiously.

Kakashi pointed to his two Sharingan and said: "Having two Sharingan consumes a lot of Chakra. Only by learning the Yin Seal can I fully unleash their potential in battle."

"So that's how it is."

Shizune nodded in understanding, then said hesitantly, "But Yin is a Forbidden Technique created by Tsunade-sama herself. She won't easily teach it to others unless you are her disciple."

"You already learned it?" Kakashi asked in surprise.

Shizune smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Although I've been by Tsunade-sama's side, I haven't formally become her disciple, so I've only inherited her Medical Ninjutsu."

"So, I can only learn the Yin Seal by becoming Tsunade-sama's disciple…"

Kakashi couldn't help but frowned. He then remembered their previous plan and quickly asked, "Shizune, what if I accompany Tsunade-sama in gambling and intentionally let her win?"

'Are you kidding me?'

Shizune didn't know whether to cry or laugh, then shook her head and said, "Of course not."

Kakashi felt troubled. This wouldn't work, that wouldn't work, and he didn't know Medical Ninjutsu, so Tsunade had no reason to take him as a disciple.

After thinking for a long time, Kakashi pulled Kanpū aside and quietly asked about the plan.

Kanpū was dumbfounded, "Kakashi-senpai, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"You said something about a strategy before…"

Kakashi thought that Kanpū was trying to raise the price, so he stretched out five fingers and said, "Five million!"

"Kakashi-senpai, don't misunderstand me. I never mentioned any strategy! "Kanpū righteously feigned ignorance.

'Don't go too far...' Kakashi's face twitched, "Fifty… fifty million!"

"Kakashi-senpai, I won't allow you to insult me with money!" Veins popped out on Kanpū's forehead.

'We've known each other for so many years, and you actually think I'm that kind of person?'

'Outrageous!'

Kanpū was filled with grief and indignation!

"I…"

Kakashi was rendered speechless, then he seemed to realize, "So your strategy is the same as mine, huh?"

Kanpū wouldn't fall for his provocation. After reiterating that there was no strategy, he waved for Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin to come over and started wandering around.

Anyway, their mission is completed, and whether Kakashi could learn the Yin Seal depended on his persuasive skills.
