Chapter 92 : To Find Tsunade

The sudden notice to accompany Jiraiya disrupted his plans… now not having enough time to fool Sasuke with half-truths and half-lies, he had to hurry.

So, after leaving Jiraiya, Shika rushed to where Sasuke usually trained to talk with him, it's crucial that he talk with him and prove that there is some weight to his so-called suspicion which he always talked about.

He soon arrived where Sasuke usually trained, and sure enough, Sasuke was there training.

"Yo, still training I see…" Shika replied with a smile on his face. Sasuke who was training did see him coming but didn't say anything until his training wasn't done.

Shika had his eyebrow twitching seeing the bastard ignoring him… he didn't have enough time so he said again.

"Come here, wanna talk to you about something important." Shika retained his casual look but this tone was different slightly this time.

Sasuke sneaked a glance at Shika, pondered something and then finally came over not to him.

"Be quick, I have training left…" Sasuke replied with a little irritation on his face.

'Sigh, he has been like this since he lost to me in Konoha Crush. I got more killed than that bastard. Mainly because I was back on full chakra due to that scroll… he has been grumpy ever since.'

"Well I was planning to explain the entire thing previously but I don't have time now either. So let's indeed make it quick.

There is a possibility, if my suspicion is right that is that Itachi would be visiting the village very soon."

Shika's voice fell and the relaxed nonchalant attitude of Sasuke in front of him almost flipped to his crazy revenge state.

Sharingan flared up immediately and his face was already looking like he was ready to commit murder.

"Okay okay… calm down, I said that there is a chance, What part of this you don't understand.

As I said I would have explained to you the logic behind this as well but I can't right now.

I need to leave the village with Master Jiraiya soon. Stay vigilant, and don't mindlessly rush to kill him, you are no match for him right now." Shika replied as he was all ready to go away but at this time he felt Sasuke grab his shoulder to stop him.

"Explain. Do you really think you can get away with saying something like that? Where is Itachi, how you know this…" Sasuke was trying to intimidate Shika but Shika didn't lose his cool.

"Hey, didn't I tell you that it's just my hypothesis… If he comes then that means that there is some weight to my suspicions. There is no point explaining to you my long-ass hypothesis. Especially when I myself ain't sure whether he will come.

This is also a reason why I am asking you to stay vigilant, I am getting out of the village, and I can't keep a lookout for that guy here." Shika said and removed Sasuke's hand from his shoulder and kept on going, leaving Sasuke there alone to think for himself.

Under only a few hours Jiraiya, Naruto, and Shika left the village gate. Shika walked calmly, keeping his thoughts to himself, while Naruto was already full of energy, bouncing around as usual. Jiraiya, on the other hand, was taking long, carefree strides, maybe he too was looking forward to seeing his teammate for a long time.

Naruto couldn't hold his excitement in. "Hey, Pervy Sage! So where are we going? Who is this Tsunade you are looking for ? And how strong is she? I bet I could take her down with one hit!"

Jiraiya chuckled. "Kid, Tsunade's one of the legendary Sannin, just like me. If you think you can take her down, you're in for a rude awakening. She could break every bone in your body with just a flick of her finger."

Naruto's eyes widened. "No way! She's really that strong?"

"Stronger," Jiraiya said with a smirk. "She's not just strong, she's the best medical ninja in the world. If she wanted, she could heal you, then knock you out again in one punch."

"They say that Tsunade of the Sannin can bring people back from death's door. If she can't heal you then there is basically no one in the entire elemental nation who can. She is old but use a powerful jutsu to look like someone who is only in her 20s." Shika who was walking beside them add in.

Jiraiya laughed heartily. "Well, I wouldn't call her that to her face if I were you, unless you want to end up in the hospital."

'Ah, yes…' Shika also realized that he shouldn't call Tsunade old, at least no in her presence.

He wasn't surprised by Naruto's outbursts or Jiraiya's teasing. It was like watching two overgrown kids. He admired their energy, though. Even with all the danger they were facing, they still found a way to stay upbeat.

Naruto turned to Shika, who had been silent the whole time. "Hey, Shika! You're being super quiet! Don't tell me you're nervous about meeting Tsunade, too!"

Shika shrugged. "Not really. I just don't see a reason to get worked up about it. We'll meet her when we meet her."

"Why you are coming with us again ?" Naruto asked with a little pout on his face, this guy always reminded him of both Shikamaru and Sasuke. A strange combination of both two.

Shika looked over at him. "I am a good tracker, Master Jiraiya bring me in to help find out Lady Tsuande?" Shika shrugged, he himself didn't want to go around looking for that legendary sucker, but right now he has no other option.

Dealing with this is way better than dealing with Danzo back in the village.

Jiraiya gave a small nod.

There was another reason why coming with both Jiraiya and Naruto on this small trip was worth it.

For Shika, this was an excellent way to start his Chidori training. He was holding onto this training for a long time, but now that he is under Jiraiya, he is pretty safe and also has enough chakra to start training in this technique.

I thought about it and decided to give him Chidori instead of Rasengan.
