Chapter 37 - Chapter 37 First Mission

"Jiraiya, let's go buy some ninja tools."

As it got dark, Tsunade's desire to buy finally stopped.

Now Jiraiya and his Shadow Clone were covered in packages.

It seems that in order to catch up with Tsunade in the future, I must learn multiple Shadow Clone Techniques.

Otherwise, the packages will never be delivered.

He now suspects that Senju Tobirama's development of multiple Shadow Clone was most likely inspired by his girlfriend while shopping.

"Can you wear all the clothes you bought?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"You buy it if you want to buy it, you wear it if you want to wear it. Who says you have to wear it after you buy it?"

Tsunade replied.

Jiraiya was speechless for a moment and could only say that having money means being willful.

Tsunade pulled Jiraiya towards the street of ninja tools.

Jiraiya could clearly feel that Tsunade's affection for him was increasing.

If it were in the past, if he took the initiative to touch Tsunade's hand, Tsunade would definitely chase him for several blocks.

Now Tsunade took the initiative to hold her hand.

This is huge progress.

He was one step closer to his small goal.

As we walked into the Ninja Tool Street, the flow of people immediately decreased.

Because the common people of Konoha cannot enter the Ninja Tool Street, only ninjas are qualified to enter.

Almost all the industries on Ninja Tool Street are run by the big families of Konoha.

None of them were run by civilian ninjas.

Because the metal used to make shuriken is a strategic resource, civilian ninjas have no channels to obtain it. Only the major ninja families can obtain it.

The clan emblems of various clans are placed at the entrance of every ninja tool shop.

The Shimura clan, the Sarutobi clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Akamichi clan...

The largest ninja tool shop was founded by the Uchiha clan.

Jiraiya looked carefully but did not find the Senju clan's ninja tool shop.

Jiraiya found it strange at first, but soon figured out the key.

There are only a few Senju ninjas, so how could anyone be able to make shurikens?

If the Senju clan could still continue to make shurikens, Tsunade wouldn't have asked him to buy ninja tools.

"Let's go to the ninja tool shop run by the Akamichi clan."

Tsunade said to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya nodded. The ninja tools forged by the major families in Konoha Village are actually not much different, so it is okay to buy them from any of them.

Tsunade and Jiraiya walked into the Akamichi clan's shop.

The Akamichi clan's shop is connected to the Yamanaka clan's and Nara clan's shops.

These three families have the closest relationship and are known as Ino–Shika–Chō.

It is an extremely powerful force in Konoha Village and has a lot of say among Konoha's high-level officials.

"Welcome, both of you. What ninja tools do you need?"

A middle-aged Genin from the Akamichi family asked with a warm smile as he walked into the store.

"We just need some regular ninja tools and some ration pills," Tsunade said.

"Please come over here, everything you need is here."

The middle-aged Genin said politely and took them to the counter on the other side.

Various common ninja tools, shurikens, kunai, and senbon are placed on the counter.

As for the table inside the cabinet, some military pills were placed on it.

"I want all these ninja tools and military ration pills."

Tsunade said very proudly.

It's great to have money.

Jiraiya was extremely envious.

The middle-aged Genin was very excited to see Tsunade being so generous, and he quickly put the ninja tools and military ration pills into the storage scroll.

Storage scrolls are storage items commonly used by ninjas, and can be used to store various inanimate objects.

"You two are the apprentices of the Hokage-sama. You can enjoy a 20% discount at our store."

The middle-aged Genin told Tsunade the discounted price.

As Jiraiya and Tsunade Hokage-sama's apprentices, they can sometimes enjoy certain benefits in Konoha Village.

Especially when buying things from the ninja families in the Hokage faction, the discounts they can give are huge.

The Ino–Shika–Chō clans are extremely supportive of the Hokage.

They will strongly support whoever becomes Hokage.

Tsunade happily paid the money.

He gave half of the storage scroll to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya and Shadow Clone carried large and small bags and followed Tsunade back to the Senju clan's residence.

After sending the things in, Jiraiya was just about to leave.

Tsunade suddenly grabbed him, took out a wooden bracelet, and said to Jiraiya, "Thank you for your hard work today. This is a gift I specially picked for you. I won't let you work in vain."

Jiraiya took the bracelet and found the word "Gang" engraved on one of the beads.

Jiraiya has some surprises.

Is this a declaration of sovereignty?

Could it be that Tsunade has secretly fallen in love with him?

"Why don't you wear it? Do you think it's ugly? Are you questioning my vision?" Tsunade said somewhat unhappily.

"Of course not, it's just that you gave me a gift suddenly and I feel a little uncomfortable." Jiraiya replied after putting it on.

"snort."

"This is also the first time I give a boy a gift, so just be happy."

Tsunade said with some tsundereness.

Jiraiya and Tsunade chatted for a while outside the door before parting.

"It seems that small goals are easier to accomplish."

Jiraiya looked at the bracelet on his wrist and said with a smile.

...

"System sign-in."

A few days later, early in the morning, Jiraiya woke up and spoke to the system.

"Ding Dong, sign in successfully, Fire Style Haolong Fire Technique."

The system sound sounded.

Haolong Fire Technique is a B-rank Fire Style, and its power is also extremely impressive.

His Chakra nature is the most active in Fire Attribute, and Fire Style is extremely suitable for him.

"extract."

Jiraiya spoke up.

A piece of information was transmitted into his brain, and he mastered the Great Fire Dragon Technique instantly.

After Jiraiya washed up and had breakfast, he headed towards the training grounds of the Hokage building.

Now five days have passed, and it is time for them to go out on their mission.

When Jiraiya arrived at the training ground, Tsunade and Orochimaru also arrived.

They walked into the training grounds together and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen already waiting for them.

Jiraiya and the others greeted him.

"You came so early, it seems that you are in high spirits for the mission." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

"Teacher, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what the mission is." Tsunade asked impatiently.

"This is your mission scroll."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out three scrolls and threw them to Jiraiya and the others.

Jiraiya and the others took the scroll, opened it and read the contents.

It was discovered that the scroll contained a map of the route leading to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain.

Their missions are marked at the bottom of the map.

At the border with the Rain Kingdom, there are a large number of herbs that are ripe and ready to be harvested.

These herbs are essential for making detoxifying pills and various healing medicines.

It can be considered a strategic resource.

The border is not stable now, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is afraid that the enemy will take these herbs, so he plans to send them to guard the herbs.

To be precise, they were going to provide reinforcements, as a group of ninjas had already arrived there and were taking up position.

"You must rush to the destination as quickly as possible. Once you arrive, you must follow the instructions of Hatake Sakumo Jōnin." Sarutobi Hiruzen said immediately.
