Orochimaru, running away with a bucket

"Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru walked to the cliff and put a big rock on the ground. Sarutobi Hiruzen felt the vibration of the ground and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Orochimaru, you are training too hard. If it causes damage to your body, it may even affect your future as a ninja."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this seriously, he was not exaggerating, there was a possibility of this happening if he practiced without restraint.

Orochimaru is a child with great potential, both in terms of talent and qualities as a ninja. He does not want this child to cause damage to his body in order to quickly improve his strength.

"Sarutobi-sensei, two shadow clones are within my tolerance. I have been training like this all this time."

"what?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked. Isn't his real body here? !

He thought that Orochimaru only used one shadow clone to assist in his training, but he never expected that the Orochimaru here and the Orochimaru walking on the lake were both shadow clones.

(The shadow clone is exactly the same as the original body. Neither the Byakugan nor the Sharingan can distinguish the original body from the shadow clone, let alone Sarutobi Hiruzen. Even if Senju Tobirama came, he would not be able to tell which is the shadow clone and which is the original body.)

"Are you okay?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with concern, a hint of worry in his eyes, wondering whether he should find a medical ninja to check Orochimaru's body.

Orochimaru said sincerely, "Teacher Sarutobi, training is within my ability to bear, please rest assured."

"Well, if you have any problems with your training, you must tell me, but never try it alone. Do you understand, Orochimaru?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said earnestly that he was really worried that Orochimaru would practice randomly on his own. It would be safer to practice under his guidance than to do that.

"Yes, I understand, Sarutobi-sensei."

Orochimaru nodded.

"You are a little too mature, kid."

Sarutobi Hiruzen reached out and ruffled Orochimaru's hair, hoping that she could be more cheerful like Jiraiya, but he also felt that with Orochimaru's personality, it was impossible for her to become like Jiraiya.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little worried about Orochimaru's future development. He found it difficult to see through the boy's thoughts.

"Sarutobi-sensei, I'm already a ninja."

Orochimaru took out a forehead protector from his ninja tool bag. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about wearing it on his forehead.

How should I put it? I thought it was very handsome when I was a child, but now I think it's very childish.

"It's getting late, let's finish today's training early."

Seeing that it was getting late, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to go home to his wife and children.

"Sarutobi-sensei, I want to learn ninjutsu."

Orochimaru said hurriedly when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to leave.

You want to leave after touching her head? You can't leave without leaving something behind.

"Ninjutsu? For you now..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to refuse, but she thought about how Orochimaru had learned the Earth Style: Heart Decapitation Technique with just one look, and could also use shadow clones to assist in his training. With her current chakra amount and chakra control ability, it would be no problem for her to learn some low-level ninjutsu.

"Orochimaru, what is your chakra attribute?"

"Fire, wind, thunder, earth, and water."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said that she had tested it with chakra paper before and found that she possessed five types of chakra. If it was the same as in the original book, then she also had yin and yang attributes.

"Oh! Just like me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised but a smile appeared on his face. "Orochimaru, I need to prepare something. I will give you a scroll recording ninjutsu tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, Sarutobi-sensei!"

Orochimaru's quiet and cold face blossomed into a happy smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is known as the professor of ninjutsu, and I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn't clean him out.

The research on forbidden techniques and science will be done later, but for now the main focus is on draining Sarutobi Hiruzen's ninjutsu knowledge and improving his strength.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly stunned, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. It seemed that his previous worries were unnecessary.

In the hot spring street, walking on the wooden bridge, you can clearly feel the hot steam rising from the hot springs below. It is said that the hot springs here were brought in from the Land of Hot Springs at a great expense.

After completing their missions, most of Konoha's ninjas would come to the hot spring street to enjoy a comfortable hot spring bath. Here, there is also Konoha's largest tavern and casino, which can be said to be a one-stop service.

After a comfortable hot spring bath, I went to the pub for a drink, then got drunk and lost everything in the casino.

Inside the pub, a seat by the window.

"Mr. Miye, are you satisfied with this contract? Please believe that this is our utmost sincerity."

The male publishing agent of the publishing house looked at the man with long black hair and a cold expression sitting opposite him with a forced smile on his face. It was hard to imagine that such a man could write a book that would make people blush.

"I see your sincerity."

The man named Miye signed his name on the contract in a casual manner.

"Mr. Miye, this is your payment for this article."

The publishing agent placed the envelope on the table and put away the contract. "Mr. Miye, I'll take my leave now."

75000 taels... For a relatively unknown new novelist, this amount of money is pretty good.

In the alley behind the tavern, Orochimaru, who had not yet released his transformation technique, was counting the money in the envelope, 75 Fire Country banknotes with a face value of taels. When he noticed someone coming, he jumped up and hid.

Huh? Tsunade?

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade who walked in stealthily and looked around very cautiously, and didn't understand what she wanted to do.

"Transform!"

Tsunade made sure no one was watching her, and formed hand seals with her hands as a mature-looking woman appeared in the spot.

"Okay, today I must win back what I lost!"

Tsunade clenched her fists and spoke with great enthusiasm, heading straight to the casino with high spirits, ready to fight a battle with the gambling table as the battlefield.

So we went to the casino...

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade who was running towards the casino as if she was going to the battlefield, blinked his eyes, and finally understood why she was so cautious.

Wait, Tsunade has been going to casinos since she was a kid?!

It turns out that Huang and gambling are innate, but Orochimaru's poison is acquired!

Volume 5: Chapter : Orochimaru Loses His Manuscript Fee

If Tsunade likes to gamble, let her gamble. It’s none of my business.

Orochimaru walked out of the alley, looked at the casino in the distance, turned around and walked back, but after taking a few steps, he stopped.

Thinking about how Tsunade had invited her to dinner before, and how they had gotten along quite well during this period, although Tsunade had a somewhat violent and unrestrained personality, she had used her violence to beat Jiraiya, and not on her.

Let’s go and take a look. After all, he is a ninja. It’s impossible that someone is cheating on Tsunade at the gambling table, right?

Orochimaru maintained his transformed appearance and walked into the casino. He soon found Tsunade and the person who was gambling with her in a room.

"hateful!"

Tsunade lost the bet again and watched the chips being divided up, her face becoming increasingly ugly.

No wonder she will be called the "legendary fat sheep" in the future. The title of "fat sheep" not only refers to her figure, but also because of her bad luck in gambling. Meeting her is like meeting a fat sheep who gives away money, right?

Orochimaru stood aside and watched Tsunade gambling with those people. He felt the envious eyes of the people around him looking at those who were gambling with Tsunade. Gambling with Tsunade was like picking up money. She could win no matter how she gambled. How could they not be envious?

If it weren't for being discovered, Orochimaru would have wanted to go up and gamble with Tsunade. Losing the money to anyone would be a loss. Might as well lose it to her as future research funding.

The money she had was not enough to buy a piece of research equipment. She was too poor.

"Damn it, why didn't I find her sooner?"

"Those guys are so lucky!"

"This woman with terrible gambling luck hasn't been here for a while. She must have made a lot of money again, right? I wish I could gamble with her!"

Hearing the envious words from the people around him, the person who made a bet with Tsunade smiled very proudly.

It was a lucky day for them.

"You guys are so noisy! Can't you be quiet?"

Tsunade's ears twitched as she listened to the people around her talking about her. She became furious and punched the ground. The solid wood floor seemed to shatter as if it had been hit, and the entire casino shook.

Tsunade's sudden outburst scared the people around her so much that they dared not say a word and stood there as quietly as quails.

"Humph!"

Tsunade snorted, threw the bad cards in her hand forward, looked at the few remaining chips reluctantly, and walked towards the slot machine area.

"Are you not going to leave the casino until you've lost all your money?"

Orochimaru was sitting next to Tsunade at a slot machine that looked exactly like the ones she was familiar with, and the coins that were thrown in were 50-dollar coins.

"Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business!"

Tsunade glared at Orochimaru fiercely. She was already furious, and someone actually dared to cause trouble for her!

"Ok."

Orochimaru pushed his glasses, and his inconspicuous brown pupils turned golden in an instant.

"what……"

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then recognized the person in front of her. She reached out and held her wrist, winking and playfully asked, "Do you have any money on you?"

Orochimaru looked at the expectation in Tsunade's eyes and had an ominous premonition, and this premonition soon came true.

"hateful……"

Tsunade walked out of the casino, canceled her transformation technique, and stomped her feet in frustration.

If other people can still win a few times in gambling, then Tsunade's gambling journey is just losing, losing, losing...

The only time he won money today was when Orochimaru used 50 taels of coins to win it on a slot machine, and then she lost it again.

My research funds... my research equipment...

The goatee of the Six Paths Sage. If I had known this, I would have ignored Tsunade.

Orochimaru held the much lighter wallet in his hand and looked up at the sky with despair. All the royalties she earned were lost by Tsunade.

"Orochimaru, I will return it to you."

Tsunade smiled sheepishly and patted Orochimaru's arm.

"Tsunade, if you're not gambling to win money, you can find me and Jiraiya."

Orochimaru doesn't like gambling, nor does he want to waste his time gambling with Tsunade. She is considering her future research funds and the many 75000 taels in the future.

If Tsunade were on Earth, she would be a complete gambler, and an irredeemable one at that.

It was this ninja world that saved her.

"Who, who doesn't want to win money?"

Tsunade retorted loudly, as if irritated by Orochimaru's words.

“Have you ever won?”

Orochimaru stared at Tsunade, questioning her soul, his big bright brown eyes showing a hint of avoidance, not daring to meet her gaze.

"How could I not have won? I have won a few times..."

Tsunade snapped her fingers and her voice became smaller and smaller, seeming to lack confidence.

"Tsunade, every ounce of money we earn from missions is important. It's hard-earned money. If possible, I hope you can use the money for more important things instead of the casino."

Orochimaru really thinks that Tsunade's gambling habit is not a good thing. If she likes to gamble, she can gamble with her friends. As the saying goes, small gambling can bring joy, but big gambling can harm the body.

"Orochimaru, don't you think you're being too nagging? You're meddling too much!"

Tsunade put her hands on her hips, unable to stand Orochimaru's preaching tone.

"Feel sorry."

Orochimaru found that he had no right to control Tsunade, just like Jiraiya liked to peek into the women's bathhouse. She could condemn him, but there was no need to. Jiraiya would not change even if she told him. In the original work, Jiraiya had been the same material for decades.

Even her respected teacher Sarutobi had a bad habit of peeping...
