Naruto and the others quickly returned to the hotel, acting as though they had never been to the casino.
Tsunade would probably be beating Jiraiya for quite a while, so she would not be returning to the hotel anytime soon.
More importantly, Tsunade had not yet lost all her money.
She might beat Jiraiya until he could not walk, then ignore him and return to the casino to lose the rest of her money first.
That was absolutely something Tsunade would do.
Once they returned to the hotel, everyone planned to go back to their respective rooms and do their own things. They would wait for Tsunade and Jiraiya to return, then see how the two of them were doing.

Sasuke's heart instantly skipped a beat. He watched Sakura warily and instinctively took a step back.
Was that half-step back serious? Such a tiny movement, yet it hurt so much... Sakura
