Konoha: This Uchiha is very stubborn

As the final battle of the Chunin Exams approached, Toshiro had to get busy.

I often meet with merchants and nobles at home and abroad.

As a Hokage, this kind of entertainment is inevitable.

"Itachi, how is the investigation going?"

After sending away the benefactor who came to seek friendship, Toshiro turned his gaze to a dimly lit place to his side.

"I have used Sharingan and Byakugan to verify it in turn. Although the guards of the visitors have some strength, they do not pose much of a threat."

"That's good~"

The most troublesome thing about holding a large-scale event is safety. One bad thing is if the Chunin Exam incident in the original book occurs.

Hasn't Konoha become a joke in the ninja world?

"Is there any movement over there, Suna Ninja?"

With a butterfly like him, Orochimaru is half one of his own, so it should be impossible for Rasa to have any more petty thoughts.

However, Toshiro still wanted to know what was going on in Suna Ninja Village.

"According to the information from the spies, the Sand Ninja did not behave abnormally."

Itachi continued, obviously prepared.

"Not only the Suna ninja, but also the Cloud ninja, Iwa ninja, Mist ninja, and the small villages that came to participate in the competition, there is nothing unusual."

"Well...thank you for your hard work!"

He is really a very qualified subordinate. He can handle everything he is asked to do perfectly. Even things that are not told to him, he can prepare in advance.

"This event is an opportunity to strengthen exchanges between the five major countries. Don't let your guard down!"

After some instructions, Toshiro waved his hand.

It really makes a huge difference whether a man is married or not.

In the past, Itachi, even if he had his own thoughts, would hide them deeply and put his mission first.

Missing a portion of the emotional fluctuations that a normal person should have. More like a weapon than a person.

After getting married, the expressions on his face became visible to the naked eye. Toshiro could also sense that the other party's originally somewhat unstable mental energy had become stable.

This is a good change.

A week later.

In a large building with an empty center and surrounded by spectators, the final elimination round of the Chunin Exams officially began.

"Father, wait and see how I perform."

The handsome young man with a stern expression looked at his father beside him, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"I will never let Hinata's honor be brought to shame!"

In this time and space, Hizashi did not die for Hizashi. Neji received a complete father's love and received better education, so he was not so cynical.

Toshiro had no intention of provoking discord between Hinata, so he did not meet Hinata in the Chunin Exam.

"Go, Neji!"

"Father sees your hard work."

Putting one hand on his son's shoulder, Hinata Hizashi's expression was serious, but the look of relief at the corner of his mouth could not be wiped away.

"No matter what the result is, you are my father's pride!"

Looking at the bandages on his son's arms, legs and feet, Hizashi glanced at the forehead protector on Neji's head, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

The son has been sensible since he was a child. Even when faced with this unfair fate, he did not choose to surrender, but put in double the sweat and hard work, which made his father feel deeply guilty.

"Um!"

After receiving his father's affirmation, the young man with a determined look turned around and walked towards the empty field in the middle.

His enemies were there waiting for him.

"Ning...Brother Neji!"

Just as his figure passed by the stands, a weak and gentle female voice reached his ears.

Looking back, there was a girl beside the railing of the stands. Seeing the determined look in Neci's eyes, her eyebrows flickering, she lowered her head nervously.

Although she didn't meet Neji, she was still eliminated by others.

"Hinata, if you want to say something, say it loudly."

Beside her, a cheerful blond boy made a face at the shy Hinata, then jumped down and landed next to Neji.

Obviously planning to go to the center of the venue with him.

"Naruto...Naruto, and brother Neji, come on!"

With the encouragement of the boy, the shy Hinata finally plucked up the courage and sent her blessings to Naruto and her brother.

However, the sound is too low.

Neither Neji nor Naruto would have been able to hear what Hinata said if it weren't for their exceptional hearing.

"Oh! Look at me, Hinata!"

Naruto gave a thumbs up gesture to the stands, and without looking at Neji next to him, he arrived at the center of the venue in a few short steps. He couldn't wait to show off the results of his training.

"…Thanks!"

Unlike the careless Naruto, Neji looked at Hinata with a very complicated look.

Looking at the weak girl, as an older brother, he has a desire to protect her, which is also his duty.

However, as a branch of the family, he is still worried about the mark on his head. No one likes it. There is an extra time bomb on his head.

Finally, his lips moved, making a sound that only he could hear.

"Kushina, is that the girl you like? She doesn't match your temper!"

In the stands, Tsunade, who was dressed in relaxed clothes, looked at the girl who was looking at her and her interaction with Naruto. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the side with a look that you know.

"Well!"

"Hinata...she is indeed a little too shy."

Kushina is also a little worried about this, but Naruto and Hinata are still young, who knows what will happen in the future~

Moreover, she felt that Hinata's temperament paired with Naruto's out-of-the-box personality was also very good.

"Tsunade, it's okay not to talk about playing house between children!"

"Let's talk about the outcome of this competition!"

Sitting in front of Tsunade, because of the stepped seat, he could only look up at her. But the angle was just right... the greatness and heaviness made it impossible for him to take his eyes away.

"cut!"

He sarcastically asked Jiraiya to calm down his heated brain.

"Tell me, what tricks are you going to play this time?"

She knew Jiraiya so well that as soon as he raised his butt, she knew what he was going to do.

"How about... how about we use this event as a bet and take a gamble?"

Swallowing, Jiraiya looked away with difficulty and spoke.

"If I lose, all my royalties will belong to you."

"If you lose, you have to promise me..."

At this point, Jiraiya paused in his words and looked at Tsunade infatuatedly, as if if you don't agree, my heart will break for you.

"don't want!"

Without hesitation, Tsunade directly rejected Jiraiya's proposal.

Although this guy had some new ideas this time, she knew exactly what his intentions were. How could he be fooled so easily?

"Nani?"

Hearing Tsunade's reply, Jiraiya felt like he was struck by lightning.

"Why? How could you refuse?"

Doesn't Tsunade like gambling the most? Why did you change your temper today?

It shouldn’t be!

After so many years of friendship, who still doesn’t know who? Even if Tsunade quit eating, she couldn't quit gambling.

This is not normal.

"I've already placed my bet!"

After groping for a while on the plump part of her chest, Tsunade ignored Jiraiya's protruding eyes and took out a gambling ticket from her arms.

After shaking her hand, there was an amount of 50 million taels printed on it. Tsunade put it in her arms and smiled proudly at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya, on the other hand, also showed his pig-like appearance very cooperatively.

"This is my medical treatment fee. I scraped together a little here and there~"

Tsunade didn't look at Jiraiya at all, her eyes swept over the competing ninjas in the field, and she said excitedly:

"This time, I will definitely win back my capital and profits!"

Someone would give him a pillow when he was really dozing off. This time, the mist ninja's kid came at just the right time. She opened her mouth very rudely and gave him a good blow.

Although the Kaguya kid was not completely cured, his condition could still be stabilized as long as he listened to the doctor's instructions and did not use his blood inheritance limit in the future.

As for the cure, she didn't have any good solution.

"As expected... I have already placed a bet in advance!"

With a wail, Jiraiya lay back on the seat, looking as if he had no hope of life.

Sure enough, he was an idiot for chasing Tsunade with the advice of a brat.

After some self-reflection, Jiraiya regained his composure.

The most important thing about a ninja is the perseverance to never give up.

"I'll bet my mission commission again!"

Gritting his teeth, Jiraiya decided to go all out.

As he spoke, he took out a ledger from behind him.

"Look!"

Unfolding the last page, Jiraiya pointed at the series of zeros on it and began to seduce Tsunade.

"You don't need to make any bets, just agree to my conditions."

"How about it? Don't you want to give this kind of thing a huge profit?"

This time, Jiraiya can be said to have spent a lot of money, taking out the mission commissions and royalties he had saved for more than forty years in one go.

If he loses in the end, he will go bankrupt and become a pauper.

Sitting next to Tsunade, Shizune and Kushina, their eyes couldn't help but fall on the string of zeros.

"One, two, three...eight, nine..."

While counting, Shizune hugged her small breasts, looking excited and her little face turned red.

The eyes that looked at Jiraiya were very intense, and the golden light emanating from them made Jiraiya, the person involved, feel goosebumps all over his body.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune looked excited as she hugged Tsunade. If they have this money, they will no longer have to work to pay off their debts, and they will be free from now on.

His eyes swept across Shizune. Jiraiya did not focus on Shizune, but stared at Tsunade who was in a daze.

This is his wife's book.

God knows, he saved this huge sum of money after scrimping and living frugally over the years in order to marry Tsunade, a prodigal woman.

Originally, he planned to repay Tsunade's debt, but now, he had better catch the person first.

He didn't believe that Tsunade, a gambler, would not be tempted when faced with such a huge sum of money.
