Journey to find the slug princess Pt.2

" So, Tobi-kun what are you doing here? wearing such a suspicious coat?"

Kaoru sat beside Obito followed by Karin and asked.

"Tobi is just working part-time but, because Deidara senpai said that Tobi is annoying, he left Tobi here to eat as much as Tobi wants"

hearing what Obito said, Kaoru understood that they already captured Sanbi and because of his past with Rin, Obito chose to stay away since Sanbi's existence always reminded him of Nohara Rin.

that is also the reason why he lay on top of Sanbi's belly when they captured it.

"Tobi-kun it seems you're in a bad mood today, so how about we play a small game of rock-paper-scissors, maybe you will forget your problem if we play, what do you think Karin?"

Karin who is suddenly mentioned turns her face, and nods, even though she doesn't know why, she believes in Kaoru.

"eh? Really? then if Tobi wins, then Tobi wants ten dangos, how about that? do you dare to bet with Tobi, senpai?"

Kaoru only nodded since he knew that Tobi's personality was a stupid happy-go-lucky guy, and Obito also didn't know how strong Kaoru was, which made him keep using his Tobi persona, that's why Kaoru was not afraid to approach him.

then the three of them keep playing rock-paper-scissors for a few minutes and in this game Kaoru wins several times, to not make Obito angry he also loses on purpose, and when he thinks that they have playing for a long time, Kaoru stops the game a bought several dangos for Tobi and Karin.

"ah, it's time for Tobi to go back, see you later senpai, let's play again at another time!" Tobi then ran away as fast as he could leaving both Kaoru and Karin.

and both of them continue their journey, after making sure that there are people Karin asks Kaoru.

"sensei, who is that guy? And why are you playing with him?"

"you will know later, but make sure when you meet him later, just run as fast as you can" Kaoru didn't answer more and only smiled suspiciously, which made Karin more curious.

at first, Kaoru thinks his main mission is too difficult to complete, but he finds a loophole, especially in the third mission.

the third mission asked him to defeat or kill the leader of Akatsuki but, with his power now even Kaoru doesn't have any confidence to fight against Nagato or Obito.

Akatsuki believed that their leader was Pain but, Konan knew the leader was Nagato, unfortunately, the real leader who manipulated Nagato was Obito, he convinced Nagato that by capturing all Tailed-beasts they could create a powerful weapon to reach peace.

especially when he uses Madara's name which still had some power at that time, and the naive Nagato believes him blindly, so it's not wrong to call Obito the leader of Akatsuki.

and now his hypothesis is proven, his mission to defeat or kill the leader of Akatsuki is completed, the system also considered Obito as the leader, and by exploiting the loophole in 'defeat' Kaoru doesn't need to defeat him in a duel or fighting, as long as he could defeat Obito in something even in rock-paper-scissors the system will acknowledge it.

so what he needs to do now is only to make sure that both Sasuke and Naruto are alive, and as long as he can bring back Orochimaru to Konoha, then the chance for Sasuke's death is almost zero.

and by making all member of sannin come back to Konoha, that means team 7 could learn better and make their teamwork better.

Jiraiya is only focused on his materials, and he is also the most loyal toward Konoha, so Kaoru doesn't do anything to him, maybe only some pranks for neglecting Naruto.

Orochimaru may look like an ambitious guy but, he is a scaredy cat who is too afraid of death that's why he researches immortality, and by becoming Hokage is the easiest way for him however, if Kaoru gives him enough research materials on immortality which are too cheap in the guild store, Kaoru believe that Orochimaru will happily come back to Konoha.

as for Tsunade, she is the most troublesome, she is loyal to Konoha but, it's her grandfather's Konoha, not Hiruzen or Danzo's. and his method to cure her hemophobia will be a bit cruel since he is not Naruto, that's why Kaoru is still hesitant on how to catch her, the best scenario is she will happily come back to Konoha and take the Hokage position but, the worst case is she will be the enemy of Konoha.

and making a healer especially a frontline healer an enemy is a foolish move, her power may be weaker than Raikage however, her healing capabilities are the best in the Shinobi world and when combined with Katsuyu even the future Sakura may not be able to surpass her.

Kaoru keeps thinking about the way to capture Tsunade while making sure that Karin's training is not neglected.

sometimes they stay in the wild just for training and back to the village or city just to restock their supplies.

at first, Karin can't keep up with his training and even keeps whining about it, however after several days of being tortured by him, Karin starts to adapt and her power also increases tremendously.

Kaoru doesn't know about Uzumaki bloodline limit training, that's why he taught Karin in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.

He would not let Karin waste her potential especially her chakra amount which is even bigger than Naruto without Kurama, to the point that make her could heal someone just by biting her body.

Kaoru also wants to do some tests with Karin, since she has earth and water chakra nature if Kaoru's hypothesis is right maybe he could make the second coming of Hashirama, and by asking Tsunade or maybe Katsuyu he could get some information on Sage Mode and Nature energy.

after taking a rest both of them continued their journey, and a few days after that they arrived at their destination, the bustling city with a big castle at the center as a trademark.

in this kind of city one of the main entertainment is a gambling and the gambling den is the best place to find Tsunade.
