Chapter 29: Holy Crap, That's So Lewd?
Hoshikawa ultimately saved his butt.
With the blessing of the 'God of Gamblers' entry, winning these 500,000 ryo was a sure thing; even Jesus couldn't stop it.
"What do you want for dinner tonight?" Tsunade asked, jangling the newly won money.
Coupled with that question, someone who didn't know might think she was going to become Hoshikawa's sugar mama.
"Grilled meat," Hoshikawa said without hesitation.
He deserved at least one-third of the credit for Tsunade winning those 500,000 ryo.
After gambling for so long, shouldn't he enjoy himself a bit?
"No problem!" Tsunade smiled, reaching out to ruffle his hair.
Don't just pat my head out of nowhere.
Hoshikawa instinctively pushed her arm, but it didn't budge.
Her strength is quite impressive.
Tsunade felt his push and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
This was due to the arm strength gained from 'Ninja Tool Throwing.'
But she didn't know that.
"This way," Tsunade directly took his small hand, leading him across the street.
A warm, soft sensation enveloped his hand.
Hoshikawa glanced at his engulfed hand, sped up, and soon arrived at the grilled meat restaurant.
"Tsunade-sama!" As soon as they entered the grilled meat restaurant, someone called out.
Hoshikawa instinctively looked over.
It was Inoichi Yamanaka.
Besides him, there were two other young men.
One was a big, red-haired fatty, and the other had a pineapple-shaped haircut.
Although it was their first meeting, Hoshikawa guessed who they were: Chōza Akimichi and Shikaku Nara.
Together with Inoichi Yamanaka, the three were known as the Ino–Shika–Chō.
Among them, Yamanaka was the Boar (Ino), Akimichi was the Butterfly (Chō), and Nara was the Deer (Shika).
"Tsunade-sama, we've already ordered meat. How about we eat together?" After exchanging pleasantries, Inoichi Yamanaka proactively asked.
Tsunade nodded slightly.
Like Hoshikawa, she didn't know the meaning of being polite.
"Is this Tsunade-sama's newly taken student?" Shikaku Nara curiously observed Hoshikawa.
"No," Tsunade explained. "He's a child from Nonō's orphanage. I'm helping to look after him."
You're looking after him?
Shikaku Nara recalled Tsunade's various legends and couldn't help but feel a subtle emotion.
"Was the memory extraction useful last time?" Tsunade asked Inoichi Yamanaka casually.
"No," Inoichi Yamanaka sighed. "Although he saw the culprit, the culprit was wearing a mask."
"A mask?" Tsunade scoffed, "Is it that disgusting old man Danzō again?"
Given her personality, she naturally detested Danzō Shimura immensely.
He was like a rat in the sewers, constantly doing dark and sneaky things.
"There's no evidence yet," Inoichi Yamanaka's cold sweat dripped.
Tsunade dared to badmouth Danzō Shimura, but they didn't dare.
If that old geezer held a grudge, their Ino–Shika–Chō would have to hand over more "gold coins" (talent).
Danzō Shimura's Root had already forcibly taken countless geniuses from their three clans.
Hoshikawa glanced at Tsunade.
Lu Xun once said, "For forbidden jutsu, find Tobirama Senju; for scapegoats, find Danzō Shimura."
Tsunade was half-right this time.
One of the masterminds was indeed Danzō Shimura.
Hoshikawa was pensive.
In the original story, after Hiruzen Sarutobi found out it was Danzō Shimura's doing, there was no punishment whatsoever; he only took Yamato away.
Telling Tsunade would be of little use.
Besides being unable to explain the source, it would also anger Danzō Shimura, and then he would "commit suicide" by taking eight kunai.
The only valuable thing was Yamato.
Although his Wood Release was far inferior to Hashirama Senju's, it was Wood Release nonetheless, and it held special significance for Tsunade.
He would find an opportunity to tell Tsunade later.
After the grilled meat dinner, Hoshikawa followed Tsunade back to her place.
They didn't do anything else, just purely studied medical ninjutsu.
Time flew by, and it was soon Saturday.
These past five days, Hoshikawa had only done three things: training, training, and more damned training.
Konoha Hospital.
Hoshikawa practiced his swordsmanship in the open space outside Nonō Yakushi's office.
Since it was Saturday, he had come running over early in the morning.
Of course, before practicing swordsmanship, he had been treating the carp.
Now that his chakra was almost depleted, he ran outside to practice Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu.
After an unknown amount of time, four lines of text appeared before his eyes.
Here it is!
Hoshikawa's spirits lifted.
He had finally entered this door.
[E-rank Ninjutsu Entry: Sword Ninja (Acquired).]
[Trigger Condition: Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu reaches Beginner level.]
[Effect: Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu power increased by 10%.]
[Note: Proficiency can be improved to advance to D-rank entry Sword Genin.]
A simple and straightforward effect and promotion path.
Hoshikawa nodded, satisfied.
After reaching beginner, it would be proficient, then mastery.
Once he reached mastery, he estimated he would be a Special Jonin.
Besides 'Sword Ninja,' the progress bar for 'Seven Ninja Tools' also surged.
After Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu reached beginner level, his proficiency with the katana met the conditions.
Now, 'Seven Ninja Tools' had reached 90%, just missing the last type of ninja tool.
From the office window not far away.
"Tired?" Tsunade asked, looking at Hoshikawa who had stopped. "Can this little guy learn so much?"
"I tried to tell him, but he said it was fine," Nonō Yakushi said helplessly.
Hoshikawa's training volume surpassed many Genin.
And he learned everything: genjutsu, swordsmanship, and medical ninjutsu.
Tsunade suddenly let out a small "Hm?"
Hoshikawa had started practicing his swordsmanship again.
But it was completely different from before; his proficiency was soaring, as if he had just gained an epiphany.
From Tsunade's perspective, Hoshikawa's current attainments in Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu already surpassed most Genin.
Nonō Yakushi also noticed the change.
She froze for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Indeed, a genius cannot be judged by common sense.
"Looks like there's nothing to worry about," Tsunade retracted her gaze, sat on the sofa, and crossed her legs again.
Her plump thighs made her pants taut, revealing their fullness.
"I'm going to be busy, Tsunade-sama," Nonō Yakushi was used to her ways, offered a greeting, and then turned to leave.
While Hoshikawa was practicing his swordsmanship, the Konoha Knowledge Bookstore was livelier than usual.
At the bookstore's entrance, a poster was displayed.
The poster featured three female ninja.
The one in the middle was wrapped entirely in a purple bodysuit, her figure explosive, holding a katana.
The one on the left wore a black bodysuit but exposed her fair legs.
The one on the right stood with her back to the viewer, showing a beautiful bare back and buttocks.
In the middle-lower part of the poster, the large orange characters for "Taimanin" were written.
Below that was a small line of text: "A masterpiece by the genius new novelist Raikou, an unmissable adult novel."
The overly eye-catching poster led to a continuous stream of customers.
Driven by curiosity, they opened "Taimanin" and were then captivated by its content.
Just then, a man wearing a red haori and a forehead protector with the character for 'oil' on it stopped.
He looked at the poster in front of him, his eyes widening.
Holy crap, that's so lewd?!
He absolutely had to try a taste.
