Chapter 63 The Big Stick and the Carrot
"With Lady Tsunade's abilities, obtaining funds is not difficult."

Kitazawa looked at the angry Tsunade and said with a smile.

What are some ways to obtain funding?

Tsunade took a deep breath, but still spoke through gritted teeth.

She came back because of the unlimited funds that Hiruzen Sarutobi mentioned.

But now, with so many rules, she is very dissatisfied.

"To create new ninjutsu."

Kitazawa gave an example: "As long as it's related to psychological medical ninjas, even a low-level ninjutsu can be exchanged for one million ryo."

Generally speaking, only S-rank missions can yield a reward of one million taels.

S-level missions, on the other hand, are often extremely risky and require a long time to complete.

Even for Tsunade, completing an S-rank mission is not an easy task.

"That's quite generous."

Tsunade frowned slightly and said, "But creating ninjutsu takes time. Is there a faster way?"

"Yes, we do, but the amount of funds we receive is relatively small."

Kitazawa replied.

"Then what's the point?"

Tsunade curled her lip and said, "I'm going to find the old man. If he doesn't give me the money, I'm leaving!"

"Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune was startled and quickly called out.

She didn't want to live a life of homelessness and being chased by debt collectors.

"I have an idea."

Kitazawa blinked and said.

"any solution?"

Tsunade looked up at him.

"Among the expenditures, there is an item for the cost of treating Yakumo."

Kitazawa said meaningfully, "Lady Tsunade can draft a list of medicinal herbs and choose the most expensive ones."

"Oh?"

Tsunade paused for a moment, then immediately understood and asked, "Why are you willing to help me cheat again?"

“I didn’t have a choice before, but now I’m on Tsunade’s side.”

Kitazawa said seriously.

The best way to motivate someone is with a combination of carrot and stick.

Blindly following Hiruzen Sarutobi's rules will only drive Tsunade away, which will be detrimental to the mission.

Besides, it's obvious who should be chosen between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade—for the sake of the child.

"very good."

Tsunade smiled, put her arm around his shoulder, and said, "You're not bad, kid!"

Caught off guard, Kitazawa almost fell headfirst into her arms.

Tsunade noticed his embarrassment and realized that her behavior was inappropriate.

She withdrew her hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Go, come home with me."

Tsunade said with great enthusiasm.

As the most skilled medical ninja, she knew all too well how much the price of medicinal herbs fluctuated.

She could easily make a profit while treating Yakumo Kurama.

Shizune stared at Kitazawa, her eyes widening in surprise.

I thought you were a righteous ninja, how could you choose to betray us in the blink of an eye?
Your bottom line is far too flexible.

Where does Lady Tsunade live now?

Kitazawa followed behind Tsunade and asked.

You'll know soon enough.

While pondering which medicinal herbs to list, Tsunade casually remarked.

Kitazawa did not ask any further questions after hearing this.

After walking for a while, he found the nearby buildings increasingly familiar, and finally they stopped in front of Kurenai's house.

"Jingyin and I live next door."

Gang pointed to the house on the left and said, "This is mainly to facilitate the development of our project."

Kitazawa nodded, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.

"Kitazawa? And Lady Tsunade?"

After opening the door, Kurenai paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Come in quickly."

Tsunade stepped forward, bent down, and took off her shoes.

Mute followed immediately.

Kitazawa was the last to leave, closed the door, and headed towards the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, he felt a sense of light and excitement.

From largest to smallest, four pairs of long, white legs and delicate feet came into view.

Tsunade was wearing long pants, only revealing a pair of feet painted with red nail polish.

Kurenai Yuhi, Shizune, and Yakumo Kurama all revealed their snow-white calves and bare feet.

"Give me a pen and paper."

Tsunade sat on the sofa and began to speak.

"I'll go get it." Kitazawa turned and went upstairs.

"It seems you two have a good relationship."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said with a slightly teasing tone.

"Kitazawa and I are classmates."

Kurenai Yuhi's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and said...

She does have feelings for Kitazawa now, but not to a certain extent.

"Tsunade-sama."

Kitazawa reappeared and handed her paper and pen.

Tsunade crossed her legs and placed the paper on her fleshy thighs.

She bent over, the heavy burden tilting to one side.

Kurenai Yuhi glanced down subconsciously and sensed an indescribable gap in their abilities.

"How far have you progressed in developing your self-created ninjutsu?"

Tsunade asked a question as she wrote.

"We have created two ninjutsu: the Talk Healing Technique and the Truth-Revealing Technique."

Kurenai Yuhi explained the effects of the two ninjutsu.

"Not bad ninjutsu."

After a moment's thought, Tsunade said, "Very targeted."

"It was Kitazawa who came up with it."

Kurenai did not take credit for it.

"You're quite the surprise person."

Tsunade glanced at Kitazawa subconsciously and said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa paused for a moment, then brought up the third ninjutsu they were researching.

"The idea is not bad, but there are some problems."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "The factors that cause mental illness are not only negative emotions, but also genetics, physical condition, and personality."

A phrase immediately came to Kitazawa's mind: This is professionalism.

"The idea of ​​modifying the Magical Naraku Sight Technique is good, but it needs further optimization."

Tsunade smiled and said, "We'll discuss this tomorrow. Today, let's buy the medicinal herbs Yakumo needs."

"Ok."

Without much thought, Kurenai Yuhi agreed.

With Tsunade joining them, she and Kitazawa can save a lot of effort.

Upon hearing this, Shizune shook her head helplessly.

What do you mean by being busy buying medicinal herbs? It's obvious that Tsunade wants to embezzle them.

"Kitazawa, let's go."

Tsunade finished writing down the list of medicinal herbs and said with a smile.

"Ok."

Kitazawa didn't care about stealing some money from Konoha Village.

Moreover, given how much Tsunade values ​​Konoha, she wouldn't act recklessly; at most, she might try to take advantage of someone.

After receiving the list of medicinal herbs, Kitazawa confirmed his guess.

He estimated that Tsunade could make a profit of 500,000 taels from this opportunity, which wasn't much.

The two quickly arrived at the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the list of medicinal herbs and began to look at it.

He noticed something amiss, but after a moment's thought, he decided to ignore it.

After all, if Tsunade isn't given any benefits, she'll definitely run away with her bucket, just like Orochimaru.

"Kitazawa".

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the list of medicinal herbs and said, "Go and get the money from the Anbu."

"Ok."

Kitazawa arrived at the office where the Anbu was located and quickly obtained a savings account containing two million taels of silver.

"Give me."

Tsunade eagerly stretched out her hand.

"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade, I'll keep this money safe."

Kitazawa grasped her wrist and said.

Tsunade immediately glared at him with hostility.

But Kitazawa showed no fear, only a smile on his face.

"It's really troublesome!"

Tsunade withdrew her hand, glared at him, and said, "Go buy the medicinal herbs now!"

She realized she couldn't do anything about Kitazawa.

This guy wasn't afraid of her at all.

After buying the medicinal herbs, Tsunade kept the remaining money.

"See you tomorrow."

Tsunade smiled and stuffed the bankbook into her pocket, then turned and walked towards the casino.

Watching her actions, Kitazawa thought to himself that she was indeed very magnanimous.
