Chapter 109: Searching for Tsunade
In the original story, Itachi Uchiha also awakened his Sharingan around this time. However, in the original, it was Fugaku who took Itachi to the battlefield, and Itachi awakened the Sharingan after witnessing the cruelty of war.
Although killing bandits now was no different from witnessing the war in the original story, Yue Yan, who had overlooked this point before, felt a bit troubled.
Itachi Uchiha was an extremely precocious person. However, his narrow field of vision might cause his values to go astray under the influence of the Sharingan, which was also the main reason why every talented member of the Uchiha Clan always seemed to have some major issues.
Anyway, Yue Yan didn't want Itachi to follow the path in the original story. Therefore, he paid extra attention to Itachi.
"Itachi, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Itachi looked at Yue Yan with his somewhat confused eyes.
"Teacher, does life have meaning?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. In the original story, Itachi jumped off a cliff because of this Mondai, and it was only his instinctive will to survive that pulled him back to safety.
To prevent this child from going astray, Yue Yan repeated what he had said to Orochimaru before.
Looking at Itachi, who was deep in thought, Yue Yan couldn't help sighing and stroking Itachi's head.
"If there's anything you can't figure out, just tell me. Don't let one-sided information interfere with your correct judgment of the world. Also, at your current age, it's not suitable to use the Sharingan for a long time."
Saying that, Yue Yan turned to look at Shisui.
"And you, Shisui, don't use it recklessly either."
"Okay, teacher."
Shisui and Itachi nodded obediently, indicating that they understood.
On the way back to Konoha, Yue Yan started to think. Although he couldn't figure out why Itachi had contracted the bloodline limit disease, he had examined Itachi before and found nothing abnormal.
It wasn't just Itachi. Yue Yan had also examined Hayate Gekkō's lung disease before. Through investigation, Yue Yan learned that it was a kind of hereditary lung disease hidden in Hayate Gekkō's family.
Yue Yan didn't have in - depth knowledge of genetics. Therefore, he could only prescribe some medicine to relieve Itachi and Hayate Gekkō's symptoms.
Although it was possible for Yue Yan to learn medical knowledge related to genes now and solve Itachi and Hayate Gekkō's conditions in the future, the earlier these diseases were cured, the better.
Therefore, Yue Yan was considering whether to find someone who had research in genetics.
The first candidate was definitely Orochimaru. However, Orochimaru was just a scientist. He was good at researching the principles, but it was better not to let him treat Itachi and Hayate Gekkō.
Apart from Orochimaru, it was Tsunade. Even though Yue Yan was already considered the most powerful medical ninja in Konoha, there was still a significant gap between him and Tsunade in terms of medical knowledge and skills.
Yue Yan was good at treating external injuries. As long as a person was not dead and still had a breath left, Yue Yan could save them.
But Tsunade was different. As the one who founded the medical ninja system, which was imitated by other villages, it could be said that most of the medical knowledge in the ninja world was provided by Tsunade.
If Tsunade came, she would definitely be able to cure Itachi and Hayate Gekkō.
Considering Yue Yan's relationship with sage Katsuyu, Lady Tsunade should not refuse. The next Mondai was how to find Tsunade, who roamed around various casinos in the ninja world.
Besides trying their luck in the casinos, they could only wait until nightfall to ask Katsuyu.
Back in Konoha, Yue Yan looked at the three young apprentices.
"You must be tired today. I'll give you a day off tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I'll teach you some other things."
After dismissing them, Yue Yan returned home and summoned little Katsuyu, then asked about Lady Tsunade's current location.
When little Katsuyu heard that Yue Yan wanted to know where Lady Tsunade was, she wiggled her two tiny antennae.
"No way. Lady Tsunade doesn't allow me to tell others her specific location."
"Sister Katsuyu, please tell me. Anyway, I'm the heir of the Bone Forest. I can't be considered an outsider."
"Not even for you, young Yue Yan."
Seeing that little Katsuyu was adamant, Yue Yan decided to use his trump card, Secret Art: Charm - Begging Jutsu!
For the sake of his apprentices, Yue Yan decided to put aside his pride. Even though he wasn't very concerned about his dignity before.
But that didn't matter. Since Yue Yan was the inheritor of the Bone Forest and had an extremely handsome face, little Katsuyu finally gave in. Although she didn't tell Yue Yan the exact location of Lady Tsunade, she provided a general area.
Lady Tsunade was currently in a town in the northwest of the Land of Fire, close to the Land of Grass.
The search area had been greatly narrowed. By visiting each casino, they were sure to find Lady Tsunade.
After that, Yue Yan led his team to accept a mission not far outside the village.
This mission was an escort mission to escort a caravan to a nearby town. After the mission, they would have free time.
During the mission, Yue Yan did as he promised and taught the three young apprentices some new things.
Since Yue Yan's abilities were mostly derived from Pokémon, he could only teach them some basic fighting skills he had summarized. Besides, Yue Yan brazenly referred to the original abilities of Itachi, Shisui and Hayate Gekkō and gave them guidance, earning the admiration of the three young apprentices.
......
"Uh... Teacher, shouldn't we head back to Konoha after the mission? Why are we at a casino?"
After following Yue Yan to several casinos, Shisui finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged.
"Before, when I was checking Itachi and Hayate Gekkō's bodies, I found some problems. This mission is mainly to find someone to help."
As he spoke, Yue Yan noticed a crowd gathered around a nearby gambling table, from which came the occasional loud - mouthed female voice. He smirked slightly.
"Also, I'll take you to earn some pocket money."
Yue Yan pointed to a busty beauty in the middle of the gambling table and motioned for the three apprentices to look.
"See her? Whatever she bets on later, bet against her."
After saying that, Yue Yan hummed a little tune and walked to the gambling table. The three little guys, looking confused, glanced at each other. Finally, they still followed him.
I have to say, Tsunade's gambling luck is like being cursed by the world. Yue Yan just watched as every bet she made ended up in a loss. In a simple dice - rolling game of betting on high or low, Tsunade, refusing to believe in her bad luck, bet on high thirty times in a row without winning a single time.
In the end, Tsunade lost her cool. She bet on high, low, and the rarest outcome, a triple (three of the same numbers), all at once. When she confidently thought that at least one of them must win, the dice shattered.
When everyone present witnessed this scene, they were all gobsmacked. Even Yue Yan, who had long been aware that Tsunade always lost at gambling, was taken aback. This kind of luck couldn't simply be called bad; it had reached an otherworldly level.
Just then, the little girl beside Tsunade tugged at her clothes.
"Lady Tsunade, the dice are broken. Let's call it quits. Otherwise, we won't have enough money for a place to stay tonight."
"Shizune, don't interfere. I just don't believe that I can't win even once."
"But..."
"No ifs, ands, or buts. I've got big boobs, so listen to me!"
