Chapter 70 The Three Ninjas of Lust, Gambling, and Drugs
Taking advantage of the moment Naruto Uzumaki used his ninjutsu, Kisame Hoshigaki smirked and slashed at the chakra in Naruto's body with his sword.
His sword actually absorbed all the chakra surrounding Naruto!
Just as Kisame Hoshigaki's greatsword was about to strike the panicked Naruto Uzumaki, Haruko Hayama flashed in front of him and blocked his path.
"Secret Technique: Mirror Flower, Water Moon!"
The moment he finished speaking, sharp, icy mirrors appeared all around Kisame Hoshigaki, trapping him inside.
This is a new secret technique created by combining the white magic mirror crystal with her illusion magic. Enemies hit by it will be attacked by endless reflections of themselves in the mirror, but the weakness is exactly the same: if the inside and outside attack together, the mirror will be shattered.
"Oh?" Itachi Uchiha glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki, who was surrounded by ice mirrors, and finally turned his attention to her for the time being.
His blood-red eyes were filled with oppression and sharpness. Haruko Hayama controlled herself and didn't look away. "Why...why did you do that?"
"What kind of thing?" His questioning tone suggested that he hadn't forgotten the Uchiha clan massacre at all.
His nonchalant expression not only stung Sasuke Uchiha, but also made Haruko Hayama, who had always believed he had his reasons, waver.
Haruko's voice rose, "Was the you who cared about your family before all a lie?!"
"Heh." Itachi Uchiha was amused by her naivety.
Too lazy to argue with them any longer, he unleashed the power of his Sharingan at the ice mirror, shattering it.
"I didn't expect that brat's illusion magic to be so powerful." Kisame Hoshigaki dusted off non-existent dust, his eyes flashed, and he raised his greatsword and charged towards them.
At the critical moment, Jiraiya summoned a toad to block the attack and appeared in front of everyone.
"I was the one who killed this guy!"
Sasuke Uchiha braced himself and charged at Itachi Uchiha again. But he was completely overwhelmed by Itachi, and blood kept gushing from his mouth.
"Sasuke!"
While Kisame was being held back by Jiraiya, Haruko rushed toward Itachi Uchiha, but every attack she made was easily countered by him.
Her body slammed against the wall and slid to the ground. Haruko couldn't tell whether her back or her stomach, which had been punched, hurt more. She tried her best to support herself on the ground with her hands, but she couldn't straighten up.
He could only watch helplessly as Itachi walked up to Sasuke, who was lying on the ground, grabbed him by the neck, and slammed him against the wall.
"Your hatred for me is too weak, not enough."
A crimson kaleidoscope swirled in his eyes as Itachi Uchiha unleashed Tsukuyomi, completely shattering Sasuke Uchiha's mind.
"Ninjutsu: Toad Binding Technique!"
Sensing something was wrong, Jiraiya summoned the esophagus of the giant toad from Mount Myōboku, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Itachi Uchiha had a trick up his sleeve, using Amaterasu to melt the esophagus and escape with Kisame Hoshigaki.
A large hole was blasted in the wall, and amidst the flying stones and dust, Haruko Hayama kept staring in the direction they had left.
Uchiha... Itachi.
Later, Might Guy arrived and told them that Kakashi Hatake had also been injured by Itachi Uchiha's eye technique and had been unconscious ever since.
Jiraiya suggested going to find Tsunade, who was known as a medical genius. So Might Guy carried Sasuke Uchiha back to Konoha Hospital to recover from his injuries, while Haruko Hayama and Naruto Uzumaki, whose injuries were not serious, followed Jiraiya on his journey to find her.
"Jiraiya-senpai, is the woman you were going to interview also the one known as one of the Legendary Sannin, the Slug Messenger who heals wounds—Princess Tsunade?"
Haruko quickly adjusted her mindset and inquired about her target from one of the Legendary Sannin.
"You reacted very quickly," Jiraiya praised.
"Hey! What kind of person is Tsunade?" Naruto asked curiously as he leaned closer.
"Let me think." Jiraiya stroked his chin. "In short, he's a super annoying person who also loves gambling."
"gamble?"
Haruko pondered for a while, and she really couldn't believe that this medical expert's hobby was gambling.
If Jiraiya, the Toad Messenger, was lustful, and Tsunade, the Slug Messenger, was a gambler, then was the remaining Sannin a poison maker?
After a long journey, they arrived in town, where the bustling scene made Haruko Hayama and Naruto Uzumaki look around in amazement.
“While training is important, playing is also essential for children!” Jiraiya said eloquently. “There’s a festival here recently, so let’s rest here for now!”
After saying that, Jiraiya tossed his backpack to Naruto and slipped away without any adult demeanor.
"He's probably the one who wants to play around..." Haruko Hayama sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
Upon spotting the various interesting masks at the mask stall, Naruto Uzumaki, completely intrigued, hopped closer to Haruko Hayama.
"Forget about that lecherous sage, Haruko, let's go for a walk!"
Before she could respond, Naruto, unable to contain his excitement, grabbed her hand and ran toward the mask stall.
A comical monkey mask on the stall caught Naruto's eye. He picked it up and kept fiddling with it on his face, making funny gestures as he showed it to her, which made Haruko burst out laughing.
Urged on by Naruto Uzumaki, Haruko Hayama picked up a fox mask with whiskers on both sides that were in the same position as the whiskers on Naruto's face.
Seeing her put on the mask through the mask's eyes, Naruto Uzumaki was mesmerized and stammered, "Haruko, your mask looks just like mine."
The fox girl's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile, and her sweet voice came from behind the mask, "I bought it because it looks like you."
Perhaps because of the mask, Naruto heard his own breathing become heavier, and he didn't know where to look for a moment. To hide his embarrassment, he said he was going to the next room and turned around hastily.
"Naruto, watch out!"
Haruko called out late in the morning, and Naruto Uzumaki had already tripped over a stone on the ground.
"Ouch!" Not only did he fall flat on his backside, but something also fell out of his backpack and hit him on the head. Naruto rubbed his head and looked at the thing on the ground. "The Perverted Sage's savings book?"
"Are you alright, Naruto?" Haruko ran to his side and looked him up and down as she helped him up.
Not even thinking about the pain, Naruto opened his bankbook and exclaimed in shock, "So many zeros! Is the Perverted Sage really that rich?!"
His astonished expression made Haruko Hayama lean over to look, "It's true... Money really does corrupt men. Jiraiya is now a womanizer."
On the other side, Jiraiya, with women on either side of him: Hmph! Naruto must be insulting me!
After wandering around for a while, Naruto couldn't resist the urge to ask Jiraiya to teach him powerful ninjutsu. Haruko then parted ways with him to inquire about Tsunade.
I remember the spiky-haired uncle saying that Tsunade liked gambling, so Haruko went to all the casinos to try her luck.
Perhaps because of Haruko Hayama's appearance and age, many ungrateful people approached her in the casino, a place rife with trouble.
Haruko Hayama treats all those who are unreasonable the same way, using her fists to deliver the hard truth.
"It seems like this is the last one on this street."
Looking at the neon sign hanging high at the entrance of the casino, Haruko Hayama stepped inside with almost no hope.
