Ninja Recruitment System - Chapter 402
Seeing the Fourth Raikage brought back by Shizune, Zhang Miao, sitting on the rooftop, narrowed his eyes.
“The Raikage came here at this time. He’s definitely not here for me but for Tsunade. Let’s see what he wants!”
With that thought, Zhang Miao’s body slowly sank and soon disappeared from the rooftop. As he vanished, his presence and chakra also disappeared, making it seem like he was never there.
Zhang Miao’s stealth skills, inherited from Black Zetsu, were incredibly high. Even sensor ninjas like Uzumaki Kushina couldn’t detect him, let alone the straightforward Fourth Raikage.
Following Shizune, the Fourth Raikage entered the courtyard and headed straight for Tsunade’s room. However, he didn’t enter directly. Instead, he signaled a ninja from Kumogakure to go in first.
The ninja accompanying the Fourth Raikage was a young man. As soon as he entered the room, he knelt before Tsunade with a loud thud, his knees, palms, and forehead touching the floor.
Seeing this, Zhang Miao, still hidden, couldn’t help but smile.
“Hehe, coming in with a deep bow right away means they must be in big trouble!”
As Zhang Miao thought this, the kneeling Kumogakure ninja spoke to Tsunade.
“You must be the legendary Sannin, Tsunade. I have a request. Please, you must help us!”
Hearing this, Zhang Miao rolled his eyes.
“Damn, this guy doesn’t know how to read the room. Tsunade is already drunk and looking sad, probably thinking about something sorrowful. Asking her now? She’s definitely going to refuse!”
As Zhang Miao expected, Tsunade, who was about 80% drunk, showed a hint of displeasure.
“Who are you?”
“I am a ninja from Kumogakure, named Amai!”
Upon hearing Tsunade’s question, the kneeling ninja respectfully answered and made his request.
“Please, use your renowned medical skills to save my comrades!”
Looking at Amai’s pleading face, Tsunade slowly closed her eyes, showing no emotion.
“You’re a medical ninja from Kumogakure, right?”
“Yes!”
“If your comrades are injured, you should treat them!”
“With my skills, I really can’t do anything!” As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Amai responded honestly.
“Hmm?” Hearing Amai’s answer, Tsunade glanced at him, then poured herself another drink and downed it before speaking slowly.
“I’m not going!”
“This…” Amai was not expecting this response, and a panic flashed across his face.
Seeing his panicked expression, Tsunade’s face suddenly showed a trace of anger.
“Kumogakure still has the nerve to ask Konoha for help after trying to steal the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan!”
Tsunade was referring to the incident seven years ago when Hinata was kidnapped. Amai knew about this, so he quickly tried to explain, “That matter has been resolved. Please, forget the past and…”
As Amai was about to continue pleading, the Fourth Raikage’s voice came from outside the door.
“Enough, Amai!”
The Fourth Raikage stood before Tsunade, speaking directly to her.
“I knew you wouldn’t agree easily!”
While the Fourth Raikage spoke, Amai quickly introduced him to Tsunade, “This is the leader of Kumogakure, Lord Raikage!”
“Oh, really?” Hearing Amai’s introduction, Tsunade couldn’t help but laugh. ” I didn’t expect such a big shot to come!”
Tsunade’s laughter was mocking, which the Fourth Raikage noticed, and his face showed a hint of anger.
“If you don’t agree, I’ll take you by force!”
“Interesting!”
Upon hearing this, Tsunade suddenly stopped smiling and stared at the Raikage.
“By force? Do you know who you’re talking to? I’ll make you regret it!”
Seeing Tsunade exuding a dangerous aura, the Fourth Raikage stared at her momentarily before turning around.
“I’ll be waiting in the backyard!”
With that, the Raikage walked out, followed by Amai. Seeing this, Zhang Miao narrowed his eyes again.
“Raikage wants to use force? Let’s see if I don’t beat the crap out of him!”
The Fourth Raikage wanted to use force on Tsunade, which was something Zhang Miao wouldn’t allow. With his Six Paths body, rated nine-star by the system, he could easily defeat the seven-star Raikage without even using the Sage of Six Paths mode.
As he contemplated how to deal with the Raikage, he heard an untimely sound.
“Snore… snore…”
Hearing this, Zhang Miao turned around and saw that Tsunade, who had been full of fighting spirit moments ago, had fallen asleep on the table.
Seeing this, Zhang Miao’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
“Damn, she was just ready to fight, saying she’d make him regret it, and now she’s asleep. This is too irresponsible!”
Though he thought this, Zhang Miao knew it was unreasonable to expect a drunk person to be responsible. So he pondered whether to go out and fight the Raikage himself.
“Usually, you need a reason to fight. If the Raikage tries to harm Tsunade, I’ll definitely step in. But now that she’s asleep, me stepping in seems a bit much…”
Just as Zhang Miao thought this, it began to rain outside and didn’t look like it would stop anytime soon.
Seeing this, Zhang Miao made a decision.
“Going out to fight now would be meddling, and I’d get soaked for nothing. Only a fool would go fight. I’m going to sleep!”
Zhang Miao returned to his room, jumped into bed, and slept soundly despite the storm outside.
As Zhang Miao slept, the rain outside continued to pour until early the following day.
The morning after the rain was particularly refreshing, and the chirping birds woke Zhang Miao. A beam of golden sunlight streamed into his room as he opened the window.
Basking in the warm sunlight, Zhang Miao felt excellent. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air before stretching and exclaiming,
“A beautiful day has begun!”
No sooner had he spoken than an angry shout came from the backyard, “That damn woman! How dare she stand me up!”
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Miao immediately recognized it.
“That voice… the Raikage? Did he spend the whole night in the backyard getting soaked after Tsunade fell asleep?”
