Haruki had anticipated the changes in Konohagakure. After all, he was the one who had come up with the plans, but he hadn't expected the progress to be so rapid.
However, he didn't know about this yet. When he returned to Konohagakure with Tsunade, they both thought they had gone to the wrong place.
At this time, Haruki was already on his way, heading towards Hengyang Town.
In the casino in the previous town, Haruki had heard that the "big fat sheep" was in Hengyang Town.
Upon hearing this, Haruki slapped his forehead in frustration. Hengyang Town's reputation was no less than Chengdu in the Land of Fire.
Besides Chengdu, Hengyang Town was the most famous gambling city in the Land of Fire.
There were dozens of casinos there, each one magnificent and renowned.
Tsunade, the woman who represented gambling among the Sannin, was most likely in Hengyang Town!
Two days later, Hengyang Town appeared before Haruki's eyes.
From afar, the town was bustling with people, as lively as Konohagakure.
"Finding Tsunade in this place... ugh!"
Haruki gasped, rubbed his forehead in frustration, and felt helpless. His desire for a sensory jutsu grew even stronger.
If he had a sensory jutsu, he wouldn't have had to sneak attack in the previous battle, and finding Tsunade wouldn't be so troublesome now.
Like in the bounty hunter's guild, that young man was clearly just a Chunin, and he had been so nervous for a while.
However, along the way, Haruki had also noticed that before he broke through his physical limits, even the drop rate for jutsu cards had decreased significantly.
If not for this, he would have already obtained the jutsu he needed.
Shaking his head, he threw these messy thoughts out of his mind and strolled into Hengyang Town.
He was getting closer to Tsunade, and closer to breaking through his physical limits. Thinking about this, Haruki couldn't help but feel excited.
So, after entering the Town, he didn't wander around aimlessly. He went straight to a casino.
"The big fat sheep has run away! Go chase after her!"
"She ran that way, chase after her!"
"She still owes me five million Ryo, I can't let her get away!"
Before even entering the casino, hundreds of people rushed out.
One of them pointed in a direction and shouted, and the crowd chased after her.
The momentum was almost like a stampede. After a cloud of smoke dissipated, there was almost no one left at the entrance of the casino.
The reason why it was almost no one was because two girls were standing near Haruki. The older one had black hair and held a pink pig in her arms. She looked fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same age as Kakashi.
The younger one had golden hair and looked six or seven years old, about the same age as Haruki.
At this time, the six or seven-year-old golden-haired girl was standing with her hips akimbo, laughing loudly, "You want money from this old lady? One Shadow Clone fooled you all!"
Haruki's forehead was sweating.
He was too familiar with this look, the familiar golden hair, the familiar flat chest. Wasn't this Tsunade's little girl form from the original story?
The black-haired girl beside her was Shizune, and the pig in her arms was Ton-Ton.
Even Haruki himself hadn't expected to find Tsunade so easily. He felt a little bit of "I'm the chosen one" pride.
But before he could be proud, Tsunade, who had noticed a little boy staring at her, spoke up.
"Kid, if you keep staring, I'll break your legs!"
As she spoke, Tsunade deliberately put on a fierce expression. However, after maintaining the transformation technique, she didn't look fierce at all, but rather cute.
"Does she always act like this? You must be so tired!"
Haruki didn't bother with Tsunade and cast a sympathetic look at Shizune.
At the same time, he opened his personal space and took out his Konohagakure ninja forehead protector, putting it on his forehead.
Seeing the forehead protector, Tsunade and Shizune knew Haruki's identity. Shizune was so excited that she almost cried.
With a "Bang," Tsunade released her transformation technique, revealing her original appearance.
"She's really big!" With just a glance, Haruki realized that the original story wasn't exaggerating. Tsunade really had that kind of physique.
"Kid, who are you?"
Tsunade had complicated feelings for Konohagakure, so her attitude towards Haruki was also complicated.
If not for the fact that Haruki was a child, she would have already kicked him out.
Haruki knew Tsunade's situation, so he immediately said, "My name is Haruki. I'm the younger brother of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and I'm a Konohagakure Genin now!"
Tsunade showed a look of "I knew it" and her gaze softened a bit.
Although she didn't want to return to Konohagakure, she still knew about the situation there.
Moreover, Haruki was Kushina's adopted brother, and she was like a sister to Kushina, so naturally, her attitude towards Haruki was much better.
"Let's go, let's talk at my place first."
She originally wanted to say "let's go to the bar," but seeing Haruki's small stature, she changed her mind.
Within a few minutes, the three of them and the pig had arrived at the inn where Tsunade was staying.
"Bang!" Tsunade closed the door to the room and asked, "Alright, little guy, what brings you here?"
As she spoke, she carefully looked Haruki over. She had already learned about him from Kushina's letter, but this was the first time she had met him.
After sensing him a little, even Tsunade was shocked.
This kid's chakra was too much, much more than hers when she was six!
She was a descendant of the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, and her chakra had always been her strong point.
Tsunade even thought that this kid might reach her grandfather's level in the future.
Thinking about this, she quickly shook her head and dismissed the thought.
Besides Uchiha Madara, no one could reach her grandfather's level.
"I came to ask Tsunade-san if there's a way to break through my physical limits."
Haruki stated his question directly.
Tsunade was a straightforward person, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Now that he had a good relationship with Tsunade because of Kushina, he didn't need to go through the trouble of finding her himself.
Tsunade didn't answer Haruki's question immediately, but looked at him in surprise.
Why would a genius like this ask about breaking through physical limits?
But she didn't ask any further. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "I only know one way to break through physical limits, and that's the Eight Inner Gates. You must have heard of it."
Haruki's eyes dimmed upon hearing Tsunade's words. He knew about the Eight Inner Gates, of course, but that wasn't what he needed.
He needed a permanent way to break through his physical limits, not a temporary one.
