Is there a way?\" After a moment of silence, he walked over and asked in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize, Lord Raikage, my Medical Ninjutsu is truly powerless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amai's face showed a troubled expression. He saw the Fourth Raikage's expression darken even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he whispered, \"However, perhaps someone can save him, and she's in a nearby small town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, tell me, who is it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth Raikage's eyes lit up upon hearing this news, but the answer Amai gave made his expression change slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Tsunade-sama of Konoha. There's no Medical Ninja in this world who can rival her. If we ask her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth Raikage didn't mind Amai calling Tsunade 'sama'. As a Medical Ninja, perhaps any village's Medical Ninja would address her that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she established the Medical Ninja system, and all other villages benefited from it. This was an acknowledged fact in the Ninja World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tsunade...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be naive, Amai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karai looked up, a hint of displeasure in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, don't call Ninja from other villages 'sama'.

He was currently conflicted about what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he thought, he suddenly remembered his old man, who had single-handedly faced tens of thousands of Iwagakure troops to cover his subordinates. For a moment, his brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, old man, what you can do, I can do too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring his two arguing subordinates, he looked up and gazed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had made his decision now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orochimaru-sama, this is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of Sugi Village, Orochimaru was walking into the town with Kimimaro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the moonlight, Sugi village was brightly lit, with laughter and playful shouts echoing everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All kinds of drunkards stumbled through the streets, their expressions varying depending on whether they had won or lost money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kimimaro was not unfamiliar with such scenes. He had seen them many times in the Land of Hot Water, but he wasn't sure why they were here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sugi Village is also our destination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru said casually, seemingly indifferent to everything before him, as his goal was singular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, finding someone was relatively easy, especially since Tsunade didn't try to hide her whereabouts much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Tsunade was an avid gambler but always lost, so it wasn't difficult to inquire about this Legendary Sucker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru said, \"Later, I'll take you to meet someone. That woman was once my teammate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kimimaro asked, \"Teammate? Like Jugo and I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No, perhaps like Jiraiya last time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bonds between the Three Sannin were indescribable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had gone their separate ways, and Orochimaru was even annoyed by Jiraiya's presence. But he wouldn't deny their past affection, it was a true friendship, sharing life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kimimaro's gaze instantly turned cold. That white-haired guy had attacked Orochimaru-sama last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't make that face. Tsunade doesn't like it, and if she gets angry, even I'll have trouble.\" Orochimaru smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he carefully surveyed his surroundings before continuing, \"Alright, let's go. She hasn't changed much after all these years, but this time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We shouldn't encounter anything annoying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the streets of the border town in Sugi Village, Jiraiya watched the people coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the various beautiful women in flashy clothes along the street, a particularly strange smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi and Takemi, standing behind him, had deadpan expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't the first time they had seen such a situation. They had seen it countless times on their journey and had given countless warnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the truth was, Jiraiya, one of the Three Sannin, simply wouldn't listen to advice, he would always act as he pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His unrestrained behavior, no matter how many times they saw it, always made them feel embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Takemi, when you came out with Jiraiya-sama last time, was it like this too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, Kakashi lowered his head, hoping no one noticed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More or less, even worse than this time.\" Takemi also spoke with a hint of exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his temples, thought for a moment, and then continued, \"He told me that regular hot spring inns wouldn't let me in. Only later did I understand what he meant by 'regular'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Takemi had such a strong obsession, it turned out he was harmed by Jiraiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Kakashi felt a slight sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been over a week since they had set out, and all this time he had been worried that Takemi might actually do something messed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when Jiraiya suggested he transform into the Third Hokage to go to a hot spring, was that really appropriate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, it wasn't appropriate at all, it was downright embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, although Jiraiya seemed unreliable, he didn't actually take them to any shady places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he acted incredibly embarrassing along the way, he always managed to gather some information, eventually leading them to Sugi Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fate of small countries on the Ninja World is generally not good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for a very few protected by Great Ninja Villages, and those with exceptionally bad geographical conditions, almost all others have resorted to 'special industries'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugi Village and the Land of Hot Water have countless casinos, taverns, and pleasure houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were times when Kakashi suspected that Jiraiya's search for Tsunade was fake, and he just wanted to have a good time himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Kakashi-sensei, since we're here, just relax a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly noticing Kakashi's worries and embarrassment, Takemi, with his 'rich experience,' spoke with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was similar last time in the Land of Hot Water. Jiraiya-sama has his own unique way of gathering intelligence, so we can just wait for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, Kakashi, you're not even as good as Takemi.\" At this moment, Jiraiya also walked over, snorting with displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I look that unreliable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1266,"2026-06-10T06:42:00.700Z",1,"novelbin.me","acaee5687ccc48f5f521d6635fea1a366198ebef07794125a453ed781aef3839","naruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-chapter-102","naruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-chapter-100",522,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-cover.jpg"]
