Chapter 87 The Hot Spring Town and the Trail of the Fat Sheep

After a day of rough seas, the merchant ship finally slowly sailed into the port of the Land of Hot Water.

In stark contrast to the grim and tense atmosphere at the border of the Land of Fire, the air here is filled with a faint smell of sulfur and perfume.

The Land of Hot Water, a famous "Land of Forgetfulness" in the ninja world.

This place champions pacifism, though some radicals may see it as weakness.

Because of its abundant geothermal resources, the hot spring industry is extremely developed, which has led to gambling, the sex industry, and various entertainment facilities for people to enjoy.

"arrive."

Nishikawa Tetsuya was the first to step off the diving board, and he glanced back at it.

Mizuki Uzumaki was carrying the unconscious Kana on her back, carefully stepping down the springboard.

She was wearing a large spare trench coat given to her by Nishikawa Tetsu, with the hood pulled low to cover her striking red hair.

"Is this... the Land of Hot Springs?"

Mizuki peered through the gap in her hood, looking around in surprise.

Colorful lanterns hung along both sides of the street, and white steam rose from the hot spring hotels of all sizes, swirling in the air.

Most of the pedestrians on the road looked relaxed, and you could even see many foreign rogue ninjas or wandering samurai drinking here in a swagger, but no one drew their swords against them.

"In this country, if you have money, you are God."

As Nishikawa Tetsu walked, he casually introduced the situation:

"This is one of the few neutral zones in the ninja world. Everyone tacitly hides their fangs here and only talks about romance and money. As long as you conceal your identities, this place is safe for the time being."

He led the two through the bustling main road, but instead of going to those expensive-looking upscale hotels, he turned into a relatively quiet alley and found a clean and elegant hot spring inn called Unjuku Yushuku.

"Boss, I need a suite with a private hot spring, the most secluded one."

Nishikawa Tetsu slammed a stack of banknotes on the counter and said, "Also, send three servings of easily digestible hot porridge, and some ice packs."

"Alright! This way, please, sir!"

The owner, seeing the money, smiled so broadly his eyes narrowed into slits, without asking why the two children had brought a sick person along. In the Land of Hot Springs, not asking about a guest's origins is a fundamental rule of survival.

Besides, he's wearing a Konoha headband on his arm.

……

inside the room.

Nishikawa Tetsu closed the doors and windows and casually set up a warning barrier at the entrance.

"Put her down."

Mizuki carefully placed Kana on the tatami mat.

Despite the bumpy journey and barely hanging on, Chanel's condition remains far from optimistic.

Nishikawa Toru washed his hands and switched back to "doctor mode".

He re-examined Xiangnai's vital signs, changed the IV bag, and used palm magic to deeply nourish her severely damaged internal organs.

"The fever has subsided a bit, and my heart rate has stabilized a little."

Nishikawa Tetsuya withdrew his hand and wiped his sweat. He didn't know what the two girls had been through, but judging from the scars on Uzumaki Mizuki's arms, they must have been subjected to inhuman treatment, and the two of them might even have escaped.

"She won't die immediately, but her kidneys and stomach are showing signs of irreversible failure due to prolonged starvation and toxin accumulation. My medical ninjutsu skills are limited; I can only maintain the current state. To completely cure her..."

Upon hearing this, Mizuki Uzumaki looked tense.

Nishikawa Tetsu looked out the window; that was the direction where the casinos were clustered.

We have to find that woman.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter brought in hot porridge and hot water.

"Eat something first, then take a shower."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to the bathroom next door: "You smell too strongly, and your wounds are easy to get infected if you don't clean them. There are clean bathrobes there."

Meiyue's eyes instantly welled up with tears as she looked at the steaming meat porridge on the table.

She first gently blew on the rice porridge on the spoon, then carefully fed Xiangnai a few mouthfuls. Only after confirming that her younger sister had swallowed did she pick up the bowl and wolf down her own food.

"Slow down, food that's too hot is bad for your esophagus."

When she came out after taking a shower, Nishikawa Tetsu was sitting by the window organizing ninja tools.

After changing into a yukata and washing away the grime, Mizuki finally revealed her original delicate features.

Although still thin and pale, her wet red hair shone brightly under the light, like the finest silk.

Nishikawa Tetsu really couldn't understand why anyone would think this hair was ugly. It looked great, and on this point, he and Minato were completely in agreement.

"As expected, it is the pure bloodline of the Uzumaki clan."

He mentally assessed it: this vessel of vitality was simply the perfect experiment... cough, the perfect assistant.

I'm going out for a bit.

Nishikawa Tetsu stood up and slung the ninja tool bag containing the bee sting arm guards over his shoulder.

"I'm going to find the person who can save your sister. Don't open the door for anyone until I get back, unless you hear my voice."

He walked up to Mizuki and stared at her with a serious look in his eyes:

"Also, hide your hair. In this place, red hair may be pretty, but it might also attract attention."

Mizuki gripped her collar tightly and nodded heavily: "I understand... Nishikawa... Lord Nishikawa."

"I'm not some adult, just call me Che."

Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand and pushed open the door to leave.

……

As night falls, the nightlife in the Land of Hot Springs is just beginning.

Instead of wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly, Nishikawa Tetsu headed towards the city's largest casino district.

In the Land of Hot Water, if you want to find someone, especially a gambling addict, there's no better place than a casino.

"Place your bet now! Place your bet now!"

"Open it up! Open it up!"

The noisy casino was filled with smoke, and the stench of sweat, alcohol, and money mingled together.

Nishikawa Tetsu frowned; he didn't like this kind of place.

He weaved through the crowd, not directly asking anyone "Where is Tsunade?", as not everyone knew her.

He walked to the counter where he could exchange chips and threw out a gold coin.

"I want to ask you something."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the burly money changer and asked, "Have any particularly generous customers come in lately? Especially those... who always lose at gambling, and lose terribly at that?"

The clerk weighed the gold coins in his hand, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

"Kid, coming to a place like this looking for a fat sheep? You're just a creditor trying to get a piece of the pie, aren't you?"

"I guess so," Nishikawa Tetsu said noncommittally.

"Then you're late."

The cashier pointed towards the VIP area at the very back of the casino, then shook his head.

"Yesterday, a blonde, big-breasted woman did come in, and she was a real easy target! In just two hours, she lost everything, and our boss couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear."

"but……"

The money changer then added, "This afternoon, she seemed to have gone to Jinmanlou. I heard they opened a new betting platform there."

"Jin Manlou?"

"Yes, it's on the next street, the biggest one."

Thanks.

Nishikawa Tetsu turned and left the casino.

As long as gambling continues, things are easy to handle.

The worst-case scenario is that Tsunade loses all her money and runs away, which would make finding her in the vast ninja world a real hassle.

He quickened his pace and disappeared into the dazzling night scene.

Meanwhile, inside the Jinmanlou Casino.

"Bet all on big!"

A loud, defiant roar, tinged with a sense of recklessness, echoed throughout the hall.

At a gambling table, a man wearing a green jacket had one foot on a chair, clutching his last handful of chips tightly in his hand, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the dice cup, with an empty wine jar beside him.

Beside her, Shizune, holding a pink piglet, was desperately tugging at her clothes.

"Lady Tsunade... please stop gambling... that's our last bit of money for food..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Mute! I have a feeling we can definitely turn this around!"

Tsunade slammed the chips on the table with a flourish, her chest barely concealed by the wine she had been drinking so heartily: "Open!"

As soon as Nishikawa Tetsu entered, he heard the voice of this drunkard and gambler. He thought this woman was hopeless, actually bringing a three-year-old child to the casino.
