Shinki: I Won Big Today!
After sailing at sea for half a day, a small island came into view.
Shinki immediately recognized it as the island drawn on the map given to him by the information broker, which was also the location where Oyashiro En had been active recently.
Because this island is far too prosperous; it doesn't look like a typical isolated island in international waters!
Upon landing on the island, Shinki noticed a subtle change in Chino's expression, a hint of conflict creeping in...
"Do you know this island?" Shinki asked.
Chino glanced at Nowaki, then at Shinki who had raised the question, and finally revealed the truth. "This island has many entertainment venues, making it a veritable money pit for the wealthy."
"Among them was a place specifically for Ninja duels, called the Fight Arena."
"In the Fight Arena, wealthy individuals can send their own trained Ninjas to fight, and also place bets on the wins and losses..."
"I used to be someone else's pet Ninja, but I escaped later..." Chino thought of her sad past, her eyes lowered.
At this moment, Shinki 'Chino expression didn't seem to be lying, and she asked rather inappropriately, "Ninja like you can go to the Fight Arena? Wouldn't that just let the opponent win every single time?"
Chino: "Don't look down on me. My Water Release are pretty powerful too..."
"Water Release..." Upon hearing this, Shinki said no more, and had Chino guide him towards the Fight Arena...
Fight Arena.
The host, microphone in hand, announced in a booming voice, "Everyone here, did you all have a great time?"
"Give glory to the victors, and condemn the vanquished to destruction."
"Everyone should know the rules of the Fight Arena: simply let your hand battle against your opponent's hand!"
"The winning side gets to take the opponent's cards! It's survival of the fittest, perfectly reasonable!"
After the host finished speaking, Chino carefully explained, "The 'hand card' mentioned here refers to the Ninja."
The victor can recruit the loser's Ninjas into their ranks.
Shinki nodded. "I understand. Only Ninjas? No rewards like money?"
Chino: "Usually, the winner will bet on themselves. If their own Ninja wins, they will naturally get a lot of money."
Shinki: "I see. May I go on stage?"
Chino looked troubled. "Those who send Ninjas to fight here are usually prominent figures in the business world. For example, that guy over there is the president of Makino Company, and opposite him is the chairman of Himeyuri Company... Their net worth is in the tens or hundreds of billions..."
"They're spending so lavishly on just tens or hundreds of billions..." Shinki murmured.
At that moment, Nowaki spoke up, "The battle has begun..."
In the Fight Arena, the announcer, microphone in hand, loudly announced the names of both players, "First to enter is Mr. Makino, President of Makino Company. His hand cards are Black Lightning and Raimei!"
"His opponent is Ms. Ji Baihe, the chairwoman of Himeyuri Company, and her key players: Moonlit Demon Flame and Suzuran!"
"Now, the battle begins!"
As the announcer's voice faded, the two Ninjas began their battle!
Soon, the battle came to an end, with the victors cheering triumphantly and the losers furious!
Right after the match ended, the host received an urgent message from backstage, and his expression changed drastically!
"Players today, you're in luck!"
"I just received word that a new challenger has joined today!"
"She is none other than Hokage, the former Princess Tsunade Konoha!"
"And the trump card she sent out was Sasuke Uchiha, the only remaining Uchiha Clan!!"
After he finished speaking, the spotlight shone on the Shinki!
The Tsunade who participated was actually a clone of him in Shadow Clone, his purpose being to get himself on stage!
As for why Tsunade's name was used... well, Tsunade's master gambled Tenten, and her reputation was already ruined. (•̀⌄•́)
Konoha.
Tsunade and Jiraiya are playing cards with others.
"Eighty thousand!"
Tsunade: "What kind of luck is this today?! Losing every single game, is this even fair?! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"
Jiraiya laughed, "Your luck has always been bad, otherwise why would you be called the legendary easy target? (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ."
Tsunade: "Shut up! I'm going to win today!! (。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)"
A few minutes later, Tsunade lost all her retirement savings and almost cried, "I used to win at least once in a while, what happened to my luck today? Did someone else use it on me?! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"
In the Fight Arena.
Shinki appeared as Sasuke, betting all his savings on himself. He won three consecutive matches, turning 200 million into 400 million, 400 million into 800 million, and finally 800 million into 1.6 billion!
Shinki was speechless with astonishment!
"Awesome, this is so damn awesome! This is the happiness of the rich! (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ."
In the audience seats, some were happy while others were sad.
"I'm so done, so done! How can this guy be so good!"
"No way, I have to get someone to break his legs! I'm so angry!"
"Exactly! Isn't Tsunade known as the legendary easy target? How did she win so many matches?! (′д`σ)σ"
"This guy is amazing! I bet on him and I win every time!! He's my lucky charm!"
"Hey, you haven't even heard of this guy? You really shouldn't be in our Fight Arena! This is the owner of the Kekkei Genkai Sharingan! See his left eye? That's the Rinnegan! The eye that controls life and death, capable of bringing the dead back to life! ( ̄⊿ ̄)"
"Frog Fun! That's amazing! So, who's stronger, him or the Shinki of Konoha?"
"Is that even a question? If Shinki came to the Fight Arena, this place wouldn't even need to open; we'd just give him all the money!! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎"
On the other side of the stands, Chino and Nowaki's expressions froze.
Nowaki: "Did you see that? That move he just used... He's so strong, we really can..."
Chino: "Enough nonsense, my eye power isn't necessarily weaker than his!!"
After a brief commotion, the exaggeratedly dressed host jumped out again. "I must say, the audience is very fortunate today. Following Tsunade's participation, Mr. Oyashiro En, who hasn't made a move in a long time, has also announced his participation, and at the same time, he's unleashing his powerful hand, Kaede!"
On the Arena, upon hearing the name Oyashiro En, Shinki's eyes sharpened as he began searching for the suspicious man's trail!
He came to the Fight Arena purely out of curiosity and to make money, never expecting such an unexpected windfall! He'd struck gold!
Unfortunately, after scanning the stands, I didn't see Oyashiro En.
"Just as the information said, incredibly cunning."
"But I'll definitely take you down today! (′д`σ)σ"
If the human self-destruction was indeed done by Oyashiro En, Shinki will first teach him a lesson before confiscating all his property! ୧⍢⃝୨
Soon, Kaede, sent by Oyashiro En, stepped onto the Fight Arena.
A few seconds later, Feng was carried out!
Host: "Incredible! Mr. Sasuke has achieved an unprecedented four-game winning streak!"
Will he create another miracle...?
"Wait... Mr. Oyashiro En extended an invitation to Tsunade and Sasuke!"
