Along the way, Haruki couldn't stop thinking about who would put a bounty on his head.
Out of all the people who had a grudge against him, only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo could afford to offer a hundred million Ryo. He wondered if it was one of them or if they were working together.
He wasn't one to take losses, he had to get revenge.
Thinking this, Haruki made a silent decision in his heart.
Within a day, Haruki reached a small town not far from Konohagakure.
He found a luxurious hot spring inn, checked into a room, and then, instead of rushing to soak in the hot spring, turned and left the inn.
Stepping out of the inn's door, he looked around and spotted a sushi restaurant.
Haruki was feeling a little hungry, so he went inside and ordered some food.
The food in the Naruto world was similar to that of his previous world's island nation. Although it wasn't quite to his taste, Haruki couldn't do anything about it.
After all, he was traveling. If he were at home, Kushina's cooking was still pretty good.
As he ate, Haruki found himself missing Kushina's cooking. He had only been away from home for a few days.
After savoring his meal, Haruki paid and sauntered out of the sushi restaurant. He went to a deserted alleyway and used the Transformation Technique.
His basic three jutsu were already at the mastery level. No one without Kage-level strength could see through it.
After transforming, Haruki looked at his reflection in a puddle on the ground. His face was identical to Naruto Uzumaki's as an adult. He nodded in satisfaction.
Although Naruto hadn't been born yet, he was his future nephew after all. It wouldn't hurt to use him for a little prank.
He figured that by the time he returned, Naruto would already be in Kushina's belly!
Thinking about this, Haruki couldn't help but smile. It seemed pretty cool to be the protagonist's uncle.
Leaving the alleyway, Haruki went to the casino first.
He walked around the bustling casino, but he couldn't find Tsunade.
He asked a few gamblers, but they didn't have any information about Tsunade either.
One of them even mumbled, "If I knew where the big fat sheep was, I would have gone to find her and get rich. Why would I be here?"
Confirming that Tsunade wasn't there, Haruki couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"In the original story, Jiraiya found Tsunade in a week. I've been out for four days and haven't even gotten a lead. It's ridiculous."
After leaving the casino, Haruki returned to the hot spring inn, quickly undressed, and entered the hot spring.
But the first thing he saw was a sight that made him envious and his eyes turn red.
Across from Haruki, a middle-aged man with a rough face was also soaking in the hot spring. But behind him, a beautiful young girl was squatting, her delicate hands moving back and forth on the middle-aged man's back, massaging him.
"I want that too!"
Haruki's heart cried out, but looking at his own six-year-old body, he could only abandon this tempting idea.
He cursed the middle-aged man in his heart, wishing he had a mountain on his back and Haruki had a small fish instead.
When Haruki finished bathing and left the hot spring, the middle-aged man was also leaving.
Because of the previous encounter, Haruki couldn't help but take a few more glances at the middle-aged man. But as he looked, he saw something interesting.
As the middle-aged man was getting dressed, Haruki noticed a forehead protector in his closet. It was a forehead protector from Sunagakure.
This was normal enough, but the fact that it had a scratch on it was interesting.
This man was clearly a rogue ninja from Sunagakure!
Thinking this, Haruki kept a watchful eye.
He really wanted to find a bounty hunter's guild, to see if he could find out who was putting a bounty on him.
Unfortunately, although he had left Konohagakure a few times, he didn't know where the bounty hunter's guild was located and couldn't find it.
Since there was a ready-made lead here, Haruki didn't mind asking directly.
Near a toilet door not far from where Haruki was, two men with rogue ninja headbands pushed open the door and turned to enter.
They pushed open the wooden partition in the toilet stall and entered the bounty hunter's guild.
This was the place Haruki wanted to find, only it was disguised as a toilet.
If you didn't have a familiar guide, it would be hard for ordinary people to find it.
"Hira, have there been any big-money bounties recently?"
As soon as they entered, the two men asked the girl behind the counter.
The girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she had no chakra fluctuations, clearly an ordinary person.
But these two, who were at least Chunin level, spoke to her with great courtesy, without any airs of superiority.
The girl smiled at them, took out a bounty poster and placed it on the counter, saying in a gentle voice, "A one hundred million Ryo bounty, big enough for you?"
"Hira, you're not kidding us, are you? We're just Chunin, how could we be the targets of the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages!"
Before they could finish speaking, they saw the photo on the bounty poster. This wasn't the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, it was clearly a six or seven-year-old child.
Although they were a little confused, their eyes simultaneously lit up.
A whole one hundred million Ryo! If they could pull this off, they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Excited, their voices rose slightly as they asked Hira, "Is this really a six or seven-year-old child? This is a whole one hundred million Ryo!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy bounty hunter's guild fell silent, everyone's eyes fixed on the two men.
Realizing this, the two knew they were in trouble. Everyone had already found out, making their chances of getting the bounty much smaller.
Just then, Hira replied, "Yes, according to our investigation, this child is indeed only six years old."
The bounty hunter's guild exploded. A six-year-old child with a one hundred million Ryo bounty was too tempting for them.
"Hira, give me a bounty poster!"
"I want one too!"
"Give me one too, this one hundred million Ryo bounty is mine!"
"Nonsense, that's a hundred million, I'm going too!"
Amidst the clamor, twenty or so people from the bounty hunter's guild left with a bounty poster in hand.
Looking at the bounty poster in their hands, they had already begun to consider how they would spend their remaining lives in luxury.
As for danger? Don't be ridiculous, it's just a six-year-old kid, at most a Genin, and an inexperienced one at that!
