Chapter 169:

When it comes to gambling, Tsunade's beautiful eyes lit up excitedly. Tsunade snorted softly, "Of course we are betting on money. Jiraiya, I heard that you made a lot of money by writing novels, how about a bet?"

When it comes to gambling money, Tsunade is the most excited and in the happiest mood.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru discussed briefly and felt that they are unlikely to lose the bet. There were more than fifty elite ninjas on their side and with the two of them, they definitely had an advantage over Akira and Tsunade.

"Fine I will bet three million ryo!" Jiraiya said confidently.

"Three million ryo?" Tsunade smiled: "I will also bet three million ryo then!"

"Then I will join in with the fun." Akira did not hesitate and better as well, as he had a lot of savings. This is because Konoha had paid him a lot of rewards for doing missions on the battlefield in the past few years.

Orochimaru also join in with the bet and after the four agreed with the bet, they went on to prepare their own things.

Akira and Tsunade only have two people, so they were light-packed, as long as they lay in ambush around Hamon Mizu River. Both of them were not in a hurry, so they walked slowly in the rain and bathe in the sense of sentiment.

"Akira, are you confident in dealing with the four tailed jinchuriki?" Tsunade looked at Akira and chatted with him.

"Don't you have more confidence in me? You just made a bet and took out three million without hesitation." Akira smiled and naturally held onto Tsunade's little hand.

Tsunade's face blushed, silently allowing Akira to make his advance. At the same time she didn't refute Akira's words and replied with a smile: "I really have faith in you."

Akira smiled, but suddenly as if he sense something, Akira frowned slightly and then smiled again.

"Brat, there is a white snake not far behind you..." The reminder of the sage of the six path sounded timely: "It should be summon by one of the Sannin, Orochimaru. This white snake has been following you all along."

A gleam of light flashes in Akira's eyes and he said, "I know, I felt it too." Akira was still very vigilant as he also felt an abnormal chakra just now.

Although the insight and visual sensory of his mangekyo sharingan is far inferior to that of the Byakugan, but it is still useful.

At a distance of about fifty meters behind Akira and Tsunade, a white snake about the length of an arm was slithering abou. The white snake belong to Orochimaru and was sent by him to follow Akira and Tsunade around.

Akira also can guessed very well why this white snake appeared behind him and Tsunade, most likely it was used by Orochimaru to monitor Akira and Tsunade's movement and actions. Well, to be precise, it should be used to monitor Akira.

Obviously, Orochimaru is now very interested in Akira's pair of mangekyo sharingan and he is also very curious about Akira's mangekyo sharingan abilities, so that is why he summoned the white snake to monitor on Akira.

"So you were aware of it. I can now rest assured." Sage of the six path was a little surprised, Akira had grown strong and he gradually didn't need the sage to remind him of many dangers.

"Thanks to the sage teachings." Akira exchanged a sentence with sage of the six path and narrowed his eyes dangerously at the same time. Since Orochimaru had sent a white snake to monitor him, Akira planned to simply used it and let Orochimaru witness his formidable strength to deter him, lest Orochimaru will continue to harbour evil intentions and desire for his eyes.

Akira pretended not to notice the existence of the white snake and travelled to the Hamon Mizu River with Tsunade.

Hamon Mizu River is not too far away from Konoha base and it took the two of them almost half a day to reach there.

The weather gradually changed from light drizzle to downpour. The heavy rain work in Akira's favour and concealed the smell of Akira and Tsunade, at the same time it also makes it easier and convenient for them hide.

Akira and Tsunade then search for an excellent ambush site and hid themselves well. They controlled their chakra carefully, hiding their chakra and aura, while waiting to ambush Roshi and his Iwa ninja entourage.

Akira and Tsunade hid together, their bodies inevitably were close to each other and Akira could clearly smell the fragrant scent of Tsunade's body. Which helps to lift up Akira's mood and the waiting time was not so boring.

Hamon Mizu River is a famous big river in the country of rain. The river is several tens of meters wide, the river flowing is gushing fiercely and the sound of the rumbling water is also very loud.

The heavy rain and the rushing river formed a spectacular scene.

After waiting for about two hours, a figure finally appeared in front of them.

Akira and Tsunade became alerted, staring at the front intently and watch their every move attentively.

In front is a ninja squad with 13 members in total. Under Akira's eyes, their numbers and figure were revealed easily.

The leader is a ninja with red hair, iron mask and purple clothes. It is the four-tailed jinchuriki Roshi. By Roshi's side, were two peak level jonins on the left and the other on the right, followed by ten elite jonins, forming a team of 13 people in total.

"They are here. As expected it is indeed the four-tailed jinchuriki Roshi from Iwa." Tsunade whispered.

Akira nodded and became more focus.

"Roshi sama, we have arrived in Mamon Mizu River." A peak level jonins reminded him, who looked like a sensory-type ninja.

Roshi nodded slowly, his expression looked very relaxed: "Well, this time our mission is very simple. We only need to sign an alliance agreement with Suna. Third tsuchikage sama have already arranged everything."

The surrounding ninjas all nodded, but the peak level ninja reminded him: "Roshi sama, Konoha may be aware of our plan and maybe they will be prepared. We must take precautions."

...

"Really?" Roshi smirked and said disapprovingly: "I still want Konoha's people to appear. It happened that Shirotsuchi was killed by the kid named Uchiha Akira. I wanted to see how strong is that kid."

Iwa ninjas by the side opened his mouth and saw Roshi mention Akira's name and he was a little worried and uneasy, but thinking of Roshi's strength in front of him, he gradually became relieved.

In Roshi opinion, although Shirotsuchi is strong, he is only an ordinary kage-level powerhouse and it can even be said to be the weakest among kage-level. It cannot be considered as powerful by just killing Shirotsuchi.

Roshi shook his head and said faintly: "It is said that Uchiha Akirais not only talented, but also an expert in strategy. But i think he is nothing more than that. If I were Uchiha Akira, I would definitely set up an ambush near the river and catch them off guard."

The Iwa ninjas nodded, in their thoughts, Roshi sama was not wrong, it seems like the so-called Uchiha Akira is only like this...

Who would have thought that as soon as Roshi's voice fell, a figure appeared.

"Iwa and Roshi, as you wish, I am here to ambush you." Akira chuckled lightly and the voice sounded.

Roshi's face changed and all the dozen ninjas expression around him changed drastically, their faces slowly turning dark and the corners of their mouths twitched.

You are kidding me, is there an ambush? !
