Chapter 48: The distribution of spoils must be discussed in advance!
Konoha, shopping street.
With a thick bandage wrapped around his head, only two eyes were exposed, and holding a Zen staff, Gintoki pretended to be an enlightened monk. When he saw Orochimaru, who was walking in a hurry, he coughed twice in order to remind himself.
The person you have been waiting for is here!
Wearing sunglasses and also disguised as a mage, Jiraiya also bowed his hands and coughed twice quickly to start his performance.
“Don’t miss it if you’re passing by!”
"The secret medicine passed down from our ancestors to induce miscarriage and smooth delivery!"
"There is only one copy left, and those who are destined to get it will get it!"
Orochimaru, who was in a hurry as if he had some urgent mission, suddenly stopped when he heard Jiraiya's cries when he passed by the two stalls.
Looking at Orochimaru with a suspicious look on his face, Jiraiya was panicking and worried about being recognized, but he still followed Gintoki's instructions and deliberately ignored Orochimaru who stopped, holding his rosary and shaking his head.
"It's not possible, it's not possible..."
Gintoki lowered his voice, sighed and shook his head, and then stopped talking, as if he didn't care about Orochimaru at all.
Hearing this, Orochimaru frowned.
This person seems to be commenting on himself, as if he is not qualified to buy such a thing.
How is this different from the charlatans we usually see?
The charlatans I usually encounter always praise the quality of their products and compete to get them to buy them.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Could it be that these two people are not charlatans?
Orochimaru stared closely at the two monks who paid no attention to him, trying to find something from their expressions.
But... a full five minutes passed, and the two monks didn't pay attention to themselves or say a word to them!
Orochimaru, who felt more and more strange, decided to make another observation, and during this observation he discovered a "Secret Medicine Feedback Form" on the stall.
"Thanks to the master's secret medicine, the child is in excellent health! - Mrs. xx"
"After drinking the master's secret medicine, I even won the lottery in the shopping mall! - Mrs. xx"
"The foot odor that has been bothering me for many years has been cured! The master's secret medicine is really worth the money! - Mrs. xx"
"It's great to be a destined person! The child can speak as soon as he is born! Thank you, Master! - Mrs. xx"
…
Seeing Orochimaru carefully reading the feedback one by one, Jiraiya also felt uneasy and winked at Gintoki.
Hey! Boy, will he really be fooled by such nonsense?
Gintoki, who received Jiraiya's wink, responded calmly: Calm down! If you are exposed at this time, all your efforts will be wasted!
Looking at Gintoki, who had big bloodshot eyes and was sweating profusely, Jiraiya was also a little speechless.
It's you who should calm down!
Then, at this moment, Orochimaru, who had been immersed in the secret medicine feedback, finally spoke.
"What are the conditions for becoming a destined person?"
…
About half an hour later.
He exchanged two million taels for Orochimaru, who was qualified as a destined person, and put the legendary ancestral anti-fetal secret medicine that cannot be explained by science and the written note into the mouth of a white snake as thick as an arm.
inside.
After doing all this and asking White Snake to find his disciple Anko, Orochimaru once again hurried towards the village entrance, looking as if he had some urgent mission.
"Um...does he have any mission?"
Looking at Orochimaru's back that quickly disappeared, Gintoki asked while removing the gauze strips on his head.
Jiraiya took off his sunglasses and replied casually: "That's right. I said this morning that I was going out for a while. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's quickly find a place to share the spoils, kid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a certain blond Yondaime appeared in front of Gintoki and Jiraiya with an anxious look on his face, and asked anxiously as soon as he appeared.
"Jiraiya-sensei, Gintoki, have you seen a pair of monks selling anti-fetal medicine for pregnant women? I heard that they were still here just now!"
Jiraiya:......
Gintoki:……
"Why don't you two talk? I heard it's a very effective ancestral secret medicine! Do you think it's been sold out? Damn it! I obviously came here as soon as possible!"
Seeing Minato with a regretful look on his face, Jiraiya and Gintoki just remained silent.
…
At night, in a certain night in Konoha...in the information room.
"Ah ha ha ha! That Orochimaru was fooled so easily, I am really laughing to death! Well done, boy!"
After three rounds of drinking, Jiraiya, who was drunk from alcohol and had a young girl from a poor family with barely any clothes on his back, was also smiling from ear to ear.
On the other hand, Gintoki opposite him, although he was also drunk until his eyes were blurred, he didn't say anything and just concentrated on drinking his own wine.
"Two million, I'll take the bulk, you take..."
Gintoki raised his glass at the right moment, burped and shouted, "Drink, drink, wait until you're sober to talk about that kind of thing!"
"Hahaha, yes! Hey! Waitress, serve the wine, serve the wine!"
After greeting the waiter to serve drinks, Jiraiya thought of something, narrowed his eyes and asked Gintoki.
"Boy, you didn't put anything bad for your health in the medicine you gave Orochimaru, did you?"
"How is that possible? That's just strawberry milk."
"Strawberry milk?"
"Calcium is calcium, don't you know? As long as you supplement calcium well, everything will be smooth sailing! The same goes for giving birth, good luck, and athlete's foot, everything will go very smoothly!"
Jiraiya:......
…
The next day, when Jiraiya woke up in the information room, he looked at the store owner who was chasing him for the bill. He also scolded Gintoki for not following martial ethics and leaving without even paying the bill!
Apparently two people cheated Orochimaru out of such a large sum of money and ended up not even paying the bill! Cheapskates!
Jiraiya, who was cursing, finally paid the bill and left, and decided in his heart that when he saw Gintoki later, he would have a good chat with him about the proportion of the stolen goods!
…
Hokage's office.
Jiraiya opened the door familiarly and spoke before he even stepped into the Hokage's room.
"Minato, where did that silver-haired boy go? I searched all over Konoha but couldn't find him."
"Silver-haired? Oh, Jiraiya-sensei, you are talking about Gintoki. There is a security mission that requires him to do. He has already set off. If you look for him, sensei, you will probably have to wait ten days."
"What?"
Jiraiya was also a little dumbfounded. He left the village without even seeing the other party. Moreover...the consumption of the two of them yesterday was not low!
…
Ten days!
Jiraiya waited for ten days before Gintoki returned at the village gate!
Seeing that flash of silver, Jiraiya couldn't wait to rush forward.
"Boy! Divide the spoils! It's time to divide the dirt! As a senior, in line with the principle of taking care of the younger generation, how about I seven and you three?"
"Huh?" Gintoki rolled his eyes and flicked the black hard object off his little finger, "What are you talking about? By the way... who are you? Do you know Gin-san?"
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya instantly understood that this kid wanted to keep all the dirty money!
"Hey! Don't act like a fool! The two million taels we defrauded Orochimaru must be at least half of mine! Hand it over! Hand it all over to me!"
Jiraiya shook Gintoki's shoulders vigorously, not noticing that a certain Jishimaru who also returned to the village at this time listened to all his words.
"Jiraiya, what's going on?"
After hearing Orochimaru's voice behind him, Jiraiya replied without thinking: "This guy is the one who stole the two million from you! Obviously I'm not involved either..."
Before he could say the word force, Jiraiya suddenly reacted.
After a moment of silence, Jiraiya turned his head slowly and mechanically, and when he saw Orochimaru, who looked unhappy, he was instantly ready to escape.
but……
Because he saw the green silhouette behind Orochimaru, Jiraiya failed to seize the best opportunity to escape and was captured along with Gintoki.
"Tsunade...Tsunade?"
