Tsunade nodded, completely trusting Yi Shuihan's words, after all, she had just experienced it herself.

"Let him stay here quietly, shall we go? Or are you going to stay here with him?"

Tsunade gave Nawaki a deep look, then left with Yi Shuihan.

"Oh, right, I've already taken your clothes to wash, so you can wear this." As they walked to where the clothes were stored, Yi Shuihan suddenly said, and at the same time, a white cheongsam with rose patterns appeared in her hand without her noticing.

Tsunade was taken aback by what she heard, a hint of shame and anger flashing in her eyes. She looked at Yi Shuihan, her fists clenched so tightly that her bones cracked.

Yi Shuihan showed no sign of pleasure, simply dragging his cheongsam along, his eyes clear. Well, he had long since developed a thick skin.

"Could it be that I misunderstood him, and he was just trying to help?" Yi Shuihan's frankness made Tsunade wonder if she was overthinking things. In the end, she bit her lip and accepted the cheongsam.

As they walked to the designated changing area, she didn't forget to turn back and give Yi Shuihan a warning look.

When Tsunade reappeared after changing her clothes, Yi Shuihan was quite surprised and amazed. He couldn't help but secretly give himself a thumbs up. Tsunade in a cheongsam did have a unique charm. Her devilish figure was perfectly accentuated by the form-fitting cheongsam. Her pure face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were sparkling, as if they were about to drip water.

"It's beautiful, this dress suits you perfectly, I'll give it to you," Yi Shuihan said sincerely.

"Mind your own business!" Tsunade retorted angrily at first, then said in a very low voice, "Thank you."

"What did you say?" Yi Shuihan pretended not to hear clearly, even though he had heard it.

Tsunade snorted coldly and walked directly toward the bronze door, intending to push it open with one hand.

She eventually opened the door, but Yi Shuihan noticed a fleeting look of surprise in her eyes as she pushed it open.

Outside, Might Guy was still in the same spot, waiting for the guests to arrive. When he saw Tsunade appear, he was taken aback at first, then smiled knowingly. He admired Yi Shuihan immensely.

Realizing the relationship between Tsunade and Yi Shuihan, Might Guy was already planning how to please Tsunade in the future.

"Still no guests?" Yi Shuihan asked, following Tsunade out. He was genuinely feeling frustrated because things had turned out completely differently than he expected these past few days. No guests had come at all, and the few who did come were scared away by the ironclad rules on the stone tablet.

Matt Day shook his head. In fact, he was more worried than Yi Shuihan. After all, if there was no business, wouldn't his presence seem superfluous?

"I'm leaving now, I'll be back tomorrow." Tsunade said and hurriedly ran out, as if someone was chasing her.

Tsunade's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Yi Shuihan, but he quickly smiled in surprise. After all, this was the younger version of Tsunade, not the overly mature Tsunade in the anime who was already over 50 years old. Such a reaction was understandable.

Just a hundred meters from the entrance to the hot spring resort, in the woods, five people were staring intently at the resort. After Tsunade left, the five of them smiled.

"Tsunade is gone. No one can save that guy this time! How dare he ruin my plans? Unforgivable."

The sound of gritting teeth came from Takeji Nai's mouth, and his expression was as terrifying as that of a hungry wolf.

After being kicked out by Tsunade, he found a few familiar ninjas and then found out the location of the hot spring resort. He went there to lie in wait, planning to take revenge on Yi Shuihan when Tsunade left and only Yi Shuihan remained.

He found four people, including three Chunin and one Special Jonin, all of whom were ninjas who had previously received favors from him.

Takeji Nai still holds a certain position in Konoha, equivalent to a Jonin, although his actual strength is only at the Chunin level.

The fact that they were able to investigate Yi Shuihan's hot spring resort in such a short time shows that he has some influence.

However, he was destined for tragedy this time, because the information he had gathered about Yi Shuihan was only that he was rich and a samurai. In his opinion, Yi Shuihan's strength must not be very good. A samurai is at most a chunin, so he would only send a few people to teach Yi Shuihan a lesson.

Although the result will be the same no matter who he brings.

Not long after Tsunade left, Takeji Nai arrived at the hot spring with four ninjas and saw Might Guy and Yi Shuihan.

"Are you here to soak in the hot springs?" Might Dai asked Takeji Nei and the others. However, after seeing their hostile attitude, he realized something was wrong and instinctively used his body to block Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan looked at Might Guy. Although Might Guy's actions were of no use, he still felt somewhat gratified.

"Go get him! Break one of his legs first!" Takeji Nakiri said without wasting any words, waving his hand as he came forward.

Two Chunin immediately took action; one aimed to entangle Might Guy, while the other went after Yi Shuihan.

"Oh no, boss, be careful!" Might Guy's expression changed. Without opening the Eight Gates, he couldn't get rid of a Chunin's entanglement, so he could only shout a warning, while already preparing to open the gates in his mind.

"Ah!" X2

Two screams rang out at the same time, and then everyone realized that Yi Shuihan had appeared in front of Might Guy at some point, as if he had switched places.

At Yi Shuihan's feet, the hands of the two ninjas who had acted earlier were twisted into pretzel shapes, and they stared at Yi Shuihan in horror.

"To be honest, you're not guests, you're here to cause trouble, and I'm quite pleased! You're welcome to come and cause trouble."

Yi Shuihan said with a smile, his eyes filled with eager excitement.

Chapter 284, Is he a guest, or someone looking for trouble?

Although Yi Shuihan was smiling, his smile was terrifying to others, especially since he had just cruelly crippled the hands of two people.

A samurai? There really is such a powerful samurai who can completely overpower a Chunin? That level of strength must be at least Jonin level!

Despite his fear, Takeji forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Um, do you still recognize me? I was just here..."

"Oh, it's you! That old geezer who's in charge of internal medicine." Yi Shuihan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Internal medicine specialist!?"

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Might Guy felt an urge to burst into laughter, but he managed to suppress it. Thinking back to Yi Shuihan's attack just now, he was shocked. Although he knew that Yi Shuihan's strength was extraordinary, he still vividly remembered the power that had rendered him powerless.

The anger in Takeji's eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant, but when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Having witnessed Yi Shuihan's strength in crippling two Chunin in the blink of an eye, even though he had a Chunin and a special Jonin behind him, he couldn't muster the slightest thought of fighting Yi Shuihan.

"It's a misunderstanding. We actually came here to soak in the hot springs, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, we came here to soak in the hot springs."

The two people behind Takeji Nai, who hadn't yet made a move, quickly echoed, also intimidated by Yi Shuihan's ferocity.

The main problem is that they couldn't see how Yi Shuihan made his move, so the difference in their strength was beyond just one level.

"Soaking in a hot spring? I don't think it looks like it!" Yi Shuihan looked at the few carvings in the bamboo basket with suspicion.

“We really came here to soak in the hot springs,” Takeji Naki said, his heart tightening.

"Hmm," Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment, then said with a hint of disappointment, "So you're here to soak in the hot springs. Honestly, I thought you were here to cause trouble. You can relax and loosen up your muscles now!"

"Dai, strip them naked and throw them out," Yi Shuihan said, pointing at the two people pretending to be corpses on the ground.

Matt Day hesitated slightly upon hearing this, but ultimately took action.

This action naturally provoked resistance from the two people on the ground. Although they couldn't use their hands, they could still move their feet!

Ultimately, it was Matt Dai, the unharmed man, who prevailed and completed Yi Shuihan's orders.

Those who watched from beginning to end, including Takeji Nai, shuddered. The feeling of being stripped naked and thrown out was incredibly terrifying just to look at.

"Please follow me, everyone. I'll explain the rules here to you." Having finished his business, Matt Dai didn't wait for Yi Shuihan's instructions and immediately got to work, leading the three of them to the Iron Rule Stele.

After reading the Iron Rule Stele, the three understood why there were no guests here. To be honest, if they had a choice, they would definitely turn around and leave.

"Do you understand now?"

"Understood!"

"That's good, you guys go ahead and transform!"

"Transformation!?"

Might Guy looked at the three people who were looking at him with surprise and said matter-of-factly, "Do you think you're handsome enough? Do you have eyebrows as beautiful as mine?"

Yi Shuihan, who was watching Might Guy deliberately show off his eyebrows, felt like he was struck by lightning.

Finally, the three of them awkwardly performed the transformation spell. However, their final transformations were about 80% similar to Might Guy. The four of them stood together with four thick eyebrows, leaving Yi Shuihan speechless.

It seems we need to hire someone with a more normal sense of aesthetics, Yi Shuihan thought to himself.

Matt Dai, along with Takeji and the other two, arrived at the Seven Doors. Just as they were about to discuss the prices of the wooden and iron doors, Yi Shuihan suddenly walked over.

"Wooden doors are 10,000 taels of silver per hour today, and black iron is 10,000 taels of gold per hour."

Yi Shuihan's price increased a thousandfold.

Matt Dai hesitated, then remained silent in the face of Yi Shuihan's gaze.

The three men, including Zhu Zhi and Nai Ke, looked extremely grim. Even a fool could see that Yi Shui Han was making things difficult for them, but did they dare to refuse? Compared to ten thousand taels of silver, the consequence of losing both hands was clearly something they were much less willing to accept. Moreover, who knew if they refused, losing their hands might just be a simple injury?

"Lord Naiko, could you lend me some money? I only brought 8000 ryo with me," the only remaining Chunin who had come with Takeji Naiko pleaded with him.

“No problem.” Takeji Nai agreed readily and was about to take out the money, but his hand paused in mid-air. He suddenly remembered that he had only brought 11,000 taels with him when he went out, and if he borrowed it, he wouldn’t have enough for himself.

"That's all I have, I really have none more." Takejiuchi handed the Chunin a thousand-tael silver note, indicating that he was unable to help.

The Chunin had no choice but to ask the Special Jonin for help, but this time he was destined to be disappointed. The Special Jonin only brought 10,000, exactly 10,000.

"Sir, could we possibly pay for it later?" Chunin looked at Yi Shuihan hopefully.

“No,” Yi Shuihan said coldly. “Since you didn’t bring enough money, you’re not a guest. So you’re here to cause trouble.”

Without giving the Chunin a chance to speak, in the blink of an eye, the Chunin was dead.

"Alas, I was too kind; I only broke one of his legs."

Yi Shuihan sighed and then gestured to Might Guy to eliminate the Chunin.

The others were all twitching at the corners of their mouths; they only had one leg broken, but this was their fifth leg! This was even worse than the previous two guys.

Takeji Naiko and the remaining special jonin Morishimaru watched the chunin being thrown out, all thankful that they had brought enough money today.

After handing the money to Matt Dai, Matt Dai led the two through the wooden door. This time, Yi Shuihan didn't make things difficult for them. After all, the difference in their social levels was too great. If they hadn't come to him on their own initiative, Yi Shuihan would have had little chance of paying them any attention.

An hour later, Takeji Nai and Morishita Maru fled the hot spring resort as if their lives depended on it.

"Boss, if we let them go like this, won't they come back for revenge later?"

"If they leave, what do you want to do? Kill them? Aren't you afraid the Hokage will invite you for tea? I'll let it go this time, but if they dare to come again next time, I think even if I kill them, the Third Hokage won't have anything to say! This time, I'm just giving the Third Hokage some face."

Chapter 285, Tsunade Becomes an Employee Ahead of Schedule

If anyone else heard Yi Shuihan's words at this moment, they would definitely scoff. Who is the Hokage? Does he need your face? You're talking as if you're on the same level.

Might Guy thought differently. After what had just happened, even if Yi Shuihan wasn't as good as the Third Hokage in his eyes, he was definitely qualified to say that. Putting aside everything else, just based on his ability to casually kill Chunin, Yi Shuihan was qualified to say that. After all, even Jonin couldn't casually cripple Chunin like Yi Shuihan did.

Is he a near-Kage or a true Kage? This is Might Guy's assessment of Yi Shuihan's strength.

"That's enough for today. We're closing early. Since you've behaved well, I'll allow you to soak in the Kurogane Hot Spring for one night."

Yi Shuihan's words surprised Matt Dai. He hadn't expected that he would be eligible to soak in the hot springs again before his internship was even over.

"Can you really soak in a bath all night long?"

"What? You don't want to soak? I won't force you. But if you do want to, keep an eye on things for me. There's another guy here!"

"No problem, boss."

The next day,

When Yi Shuihan arrived at the hot spring, the first thing he saw was not Might Guy, but Tsunade.

"Why aren't you wearing the clothes I gave you yesterday?"

Tsunade had already changed back into her own clothes, leaving Yi Shuihan, who had hoped to see Tsunade in a cheongsam, slightly disappointed.

Tsunade noticed the disappointment in Yi Shuihan's eyes, and her heart tightened. She blurted out, "Or should I go back and wear the clothes you gave me?"

After saying that, Tsunade realized her slip of the tongue and, under Yi Shuihan's surprised gaze, lowered her head in embarrassment.

What's going on? Could it be that she's already developed feelings for me? Yi Shuihan hadn't expected Tsunade to react this way. Feeling that things were progressing a bit too quickly, Yi Shuihan didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long silence, Tsunade broke the silence first, "I'm here to fulfill a promise. Starting this year, I'll be your employee."

"Oh? Shouldn't we wait until Nawaki is fully recovered before we talk about it?" Yi Shuihan looked at Tsunade in surprise, increasingly feeling that this Tsunade was not the Tsunade she remembered.

In the original work, Tsunade shouldn't be this gentle and understanding!

What Yi Shuihan didn't know was that Tsunade's temper wasn't actually that fiery. It was only because of the deaths of Nawaki and Dan that Tsunade became so short-tempered, resorting to violence at the slightest provocation. Although Tsunade still showed that tendency now, she tried her best not to show that side of herself in front of the people she cared about.

Of course, Jiraiya is an exception; his personality is indeed a bit annoying.

"I believe Nawaki will get better, so it's okay for me to work for you ahead of time." Although Tsunade said this, there was another reason she didn't say. She knew that she could only stay in Konoha for a few more days before going to the battlefield, so she planned to make up for it.

Since Tsunade insisted, Yi Shuihan naturally agreed and immediately nodded in confirmation.

"Hey, good morning!"

"Good morning, boss, and Mrs. Tsunade."

What was supposed to be a simple greeting suddenly turned awkward when Might Guy introduced Tsunade.

Yi Shuihan didn't explain; what he cared more about was that Might Guy's emotional intelligence was so high! With such high emotional intelligence, he wouldn't have been unable to even reach the Chunin rank in the original story!

This situation is quite different from after the Third Shinobi World War, when you needed to take the Chunin Exams. As long as you had the strength, or even just barely enough, you could become a Chunin with some connections. Compared to Jonin, the criteria for becoming a Chunin are much more lenient.

In Yi Shuihan's opinion, the Chunin from yesterday were all on par with Might Guy even without opening the gate; they could definitely become Chunin!

"Don't call me Mrs. Tsunade, just call me Tsunade. From now on, I'll be this guy's employee just like you." Tsunade explained hurriedly, and seeing that Yi Shuihan didn't deny the title of Mrs. Tsunade, she felt a little sweet inside.
