Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 101 Tsunade: How Can We Lose in a Situation Like This? (Third Update)

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Mikami Yu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Well, Tsunade's net worth must indeed be quite substantial.

After all, she was the princess of the Senju clan and inherited a portion of the Uzumaki clan's legacy. In addition, as a Kage-level shinobi of Konoha, she had carried out over a thousand missions, half of which were A-rank or higher. Her commissions would easily amount to several Asuma's.

But she probably already gambled all that money away at the casino.

At this point, Tsunade likely had Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya backing her up, plus some creditors who used IOUs as health insurance cards and were willing to lend her money, which allowed her to pretend to be a wealthy person in front of him.

However—

"Lady Tsunade, are you sure you don't want a share? It may not be obvious now, but it could be a huge fortune in the future."

Yu Mikami asked another question.

"Pshaw, how big can it be? Can you really earn 200,000 taels a month?"

Tsunade scoffed and waved her hand casually: "Even two hundred thousand taels is just the reward for a mere B-rank mission. It's not enough for me to gamble—cough cough."

She clearly meant to say, "That's not enough for a single round at the casino," but then remembered that the two people in front of her were still children, so she stopped herself to avoid influencing the values ​​of the teenagers.

However, Yu Mikami chimed in, "Lady Tsunade, how about we make a bet?"

"bet?"

Upon hearing this word, Tsunade immediately perked up: "How do we bet?"

"Let's bet on whether Konoha Cola's monthly net profit can exceed 200,000 taels within six months."

Mikami Yu smiled and said, "If it exceeds 200,000 taels, I'll consider it a win. In that case, I can make a reasonable request of you, such as learning one of your secret techniques. Conversely, if you win, you can also make a request of me."

"how?"

'

'

Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

She wasn't some pampered young lady from a wealthy family who was oblivious to the realities of daily life. Although she had been living a life of leisure for the past few years, spending most of her time going back and forth between home and the casino and not paying much attention to outside developments, she still had some understanding of the basic prices in Konoha Village and even the Five Great Nations.

Take the two most popular restaurants in the village, Ichiraku Ramen and Yakiniku Q, for example. Their monthly turnover is only a few hundred thousand taels. Even if we take a 30% profit margin, it would still be hard to reach two hundred thousand taels.

If Yu Mikami gives a timeframe of one or two years, then Tsunade might have to hesitate.

but----

Half a year?

Do you think doing business is that easy?

Putting everything else aside, just getting the recipe approved and choosing store locations—these mundane tasks alone would take one or two months, and Mikami Tajima isn't even out of the hospital yet. Four months at most, and you think you can beat established ramen chains like Ichiraku Ramen and Yakiniku Q with just a sweet drink? That's pure fantasy!

It's true that Tsunade has bad luck with gambling, but to lose a game where she's practically facing a dragon on the front lines—

She immediately ate the recipe in front of her!

"Okay! I'll take the bet!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, her gaze sweeping over Mikami Yu from head to toe. Then, she licked her lips, giving him a look of absolute certainty: "I won't take advantage of you. I'll start working on the formula this afternoon, and once it's improved, I'll have Shizune deliver it to you as soon as possible. If you're not in the village by then, I'll go directly to Mikami Tajima—but don't worry, you're definitely going to lose, so don't try to renege on your promise."

"Same to you."

Yu Mikami said.

At this point, both matters have been discussed.

After exchanging a few more polite words, Mikami Yu got up to take his leave.

Nohara Rin also ended her quiet conversation with Shizune and turned her head: "Are you leaving, Yu-kun? Goodbye, Shizune-neechan. I'll come to visit you and Tsunade-sama again when I have time."

At this time.

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then suddenly called out to them, saying coldly, "Hey, you two, be careful lately—don't die."

"?"

Yu Mikami was taken aback.

Nohara Rin also looked confused.

"I heard there will be some major military movements in the village recently, which may affect your whereabouts for a while. I don't know the specifics, you can ask Minato when he gets back."

Tsunade said something casually, then turned and went inside with the "raw cola" recipe.

Leave the room silent to help see the guests off.

Yu Mikami and Nohara suppressed their doubts: "Let's go back first, Rin. This scroll of the Palm Healing Technique has a lot of content. Do you want to come to my house tonight to copy it together? If we miss anything, we can remind each other."

"Oh? Oh! Of course!"

Rin Nohara snapped out of her daze, nodding vigorously, her clear eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yu-kun, we have to do our best! We absolutely must learn the Healing Palm Technique! And the Super Strength Technique that Lady Tsunade used just now—it was amazing!"

"Um."

After leaving the Senju clan's territory.

Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara went to a ninja tool shop together and bought two blank scrolls to replenish the ninja tools they had used up recently.

For the past six months, prices at Konoha's ninja tool shops have remained high due to the war, only recently dropping slightly after Konoha's military victory over Sunagakure.

However, Yu Mikami knew that the current victory was just a halftime break, and Sunagakure would make a comeback. He also knew when Iwagakure and Kumogakure might launch a surprise attack on Konoha. Therefore, he had to buy more and stock up while the prices were low.

on the way home.

Obito appeared as expected.

This guy now understands that he's not cut out for medical ninjutsu and can't join the advanced medical class with Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin. So, he can only take advantage of this moment to excitedly chatter behind them, boasting about his recent progress in training.

certainly----

This progress seemed unremarkable compared to Yu Mikami.

After all, Obito is now completely overshadowed by Yu Mikami, making his position in the team rather awkward. Yu Mikami knows all the Fire Release techniques he knows, and uses them even better; while Obito doesn't know the swordsmanship, Water Release, or even the Eight Gates that Yu Mikami knows.

but----

Considering that his first Fire Release technique, "Great Fireball," was taken from Obito, Yu Mikami forgave Obito.

"By the way, Rin, have you seen Kakashi lately?"

Obito seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "I asked him to train with me last time, but he refused, saying he was busy developing a new technique and didn't have time to play with me—it really infuriated me! That guy really treats me like a child!"

"New technique?"

Nohara Rin blinked, a little curious.

Yu Mikami, however, understood perfectly: it seemed that Kakashi's "Chidori" was about to be released.
