Terms and Conditions!

After taking care of everyone in the den and packing all the money, Kazutora left the gambling den.

Coming outside, he searched for Tsunade's location and found out that she was moving towards the exit of Tanzaku Quarters.

With a grin on his face, Kazutora disappeared from the place, and a few moments later, Tsunade, who was moving with Shizune, stopped.

"Hmm, he is here," Tsunade murmured while looking back, and she didn't expect him to finish earlier than she had expected.

"Shizune, what would you like to eat today?" Tsunade asked Shizune, who had stopped, and Shizune exclaimed at her words.

"Wh-what do you mean, Tsunade-Sama?"

"Haha, let's order everything," Tsunade said with a laugh and she looked at the restaurant a few metres away from the place.

She entered the restaurant, followed by Shizune and went to a table of four. Tsunade looked at the menu, and she ordered various dishes and drinks.

It didn't long for Kazutora to arrive, and entering the restaurant, he looked at the table where Tsunade and Shizune were. He walked to that table and sat in front of Tsunade.

"I thought you would look without fulfilling your promise," Kazutora said with a smile on his face, and Tsunade looked at him with raised brows.

"Didn't I give you five minutes? If you had delayed, I would have left the place. Everything was on you, not me. Besides, I don't break---" Tsunade answered back, but in the end, she didn't complete her words and stopped saying anything.

Kazutora chuckled at her words and said, "Your IOUs, and debts say different things."

At his words, Tsunade frowned, and she wondered if he was from the people she had borrowed money from.

"Hmph! Why would give back the money I borrowed based on my ability?" Tsunade said with a smirk on her face, and Kazutora looked at it for a moment and then shook his head. He picked the menu and then remembering the fact that he is a Shadow Clone, Kazutora stopped and put the menu back.

"Anyways, let's talk before the meal, and then you can eat whatever you want," Kazutora said, and Tsunade didn't say anything. She kept on staring at him and after she had listened to his words, she would decide what to do.

"I want to hire you," Kazutora said bluntly, and for now, he decided to hide about Wood Release. He decided to see just how much Tsunade would work for the money and services he has.

"What?" Tsunade said as she heard the words. She narrowed her eyes and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Kid, you should know who I am."

"Yes, I know."

"Then do you believe that you can hire me? Do you think I will agree to the matter without knowing anything about you?"

"I was about to explain but you spoke first," Kazutora said with a shrug, and Tsunade clenched her hand at the annoyance she felt. No one had ever spoken to her like this but seeing no change in Kazutora's expression at her action, Tsunade narrowed her eyes and decided to see what he wanted.

"Explain everything in one go," Tsunade said with a calm look on his face and Kazutora nodded at her.

"I am from Konoha, and I want to hire you to become my backer in the village so that I won't be forced to do the things I don't want by Konoha Higher-ups."

Tsunade frowned at Kazutora's words, and she asked, "What are you trying to say? Who would they force you to do the things that you don't want to and why?"

"Well, my parents said that Third Hokage has already lost the will, Danzo has corrupted to the extreme and will do anything, the village isn't like it was in past, and if something happens to us, you can look for Tsunade-Hime in future."

"The Fourth Hokage was supposed to be the new light and backbone of the village to grow, but,"

Kazutora stopped speaking as he felt pressure from Tsunade on him. Hearing his words, Tsunade looked at him with no expression on her face and she asked, "Where are your parents? Who are they?"

"My parents sacrificed their lives for the village during the Nine-Tails Incident. As for who they are, I won't say for now."

"Kid, just speak their name. Not many call me Tsunade-Hime, and most call me Sannin Tsunade."

Tsunade said with her expression changing to a nostalgic one and Kazutora froze at the words. He didn't think of this matter, and he decided to tell his parent's name as it wouldn't harm him.

Besides, he was sure that she wouldn't disturb their rest and if she did, Kazutora would make her pay when he could.

"My parents' names are Kazumi and Torahiro," Kazutora said a moment later, and Tsunade flinched at the word.

"Kazumi, Kazumi! What about your maternal grandfather or grandmother, do you know?" Tsunade asked hurriedly and Kazutora shook his head as he hadn't heard of them.

"Give me a drop of your blood," Tsunade asked, and Kazutora froze at her words. Even Shizune opened her mouth as she knew about her hemophobia but she didn't expect Tsunade would ask for blood.

"I am just a Shadow Clone," Kazutora said, and Tsunade's expression changed at his words. She calmed herself and remained silent for a few moments.

"What do you want to hide and how did you know that I would be here?"

"I won't say it until you agree. I will tell you the conditions for hiring you to become my backer." Kazutora said while shaking his head, and Tsunade frowned at the words. She started to think about some things and then shaking her head, she said, "Tell me the conditions, and I will think about it. If what I think is right, then you also have a chance to leave the village and journey with me."

"Let's ignore the second option. The conditions are."

"First, I will take back two million Ryos IOUs that I have with your signature."

"Second, you will have a place where you can play various games, such as Slots, gamble as much as you want, and won't get bored."

"Third, you can eat various delicious dishes free until you are my backer."

"Fourth, you can have as much money as you want to gamble, and you don't need to worry about debts."

"Fifth, you will have people to accompany you so that you won't be bored and feel lonely."

"But, you need to return back to Konoha, not tell anyone about me and the things I want to hide and keep me safe from them if they had ill intentions."

"Those are my conditions," Kazutora said, and Tsunade looked at him with a strange look on her face.

"Show me IOUs first," Tsunade said, and Kazutora chuckled at her words.

"For the past five months, wasn't it easy for you to get a loan at good interest and no one coming after you?"

Tsunade froze at the words and then she slammed on the table.

"You bastard, so it's you who have been giving the money! I thought I met generous people, but I didn't expect that you were scheming against me."

Kazutora laughed at Tsunade's words, and he didn't say anything. Shizune looked at Kazutora with her eyes shining as she didn't expect she would see someone who could take care of Tsunade and scheme against her like this.

"Your conditions are good, but I won't be returning to Konoha. I will take the money, IOUs, and you will build the place outside. In exchange, I will accept you as a disciple, and give you some techniques."

"That would be enough and Old Man won't do anything to you."

Tsunade said while shaking her head, and the conditions were the second reason for her words. The first reason is because of Kazutora's parents, and she felt like she had heard of Kazumi, and she had a feeling her parents were part of the Senju clan.

"All of this to become a nominal disciple, sigh!" Kazutora said as he didn't expect that even after conditions, Tsunade would only give her name. Even if he knew that it could be enough, Kazutora wanted more, and he decided on his first and final option.

"I am being generous here. If I didn't feel like, even if you gave me so much money, I wouldn't even accept a nominal disciple."

Kazutora rolled her eyes at Tsunade's confident words, and he knew that, if possible, for billions of Ryos, Tsunade would even sell the position of Hokage.

"Here! Open this. I believe that you will change your mind after seeing what is inside." Kazutora said with a confident smile on her face and Tsunade looked at the scroll.

She took the scroll and opening up, she looked at the seals with a frown on her face.

"Who made this scroll?" She asked, and Kazutora just smiled at her words and didn't say anything.

Seeing him not answering, Tsunade used chakra and released the seal on the scroll.

In her hand, a folder, a wooden block, a few cards, and a rectangular device appeared and Shizune looked at the things with a curious look on her face.

Unlike Shizune, Tsunade's focus was on the wooden block, and sensing the chakra in it, Tsunade's hand trembled.
