Tsunade

After a while, the burly man suddenly stood up,

kicked over the table in front of him, let out an angry roar, grabbed a chair, and hurled it at someone nearby.

The tavern descended into chaos.

The man who'd been hit refused to back down and immediately fought back. The two of them grappled with each other.

The gamblers and drinkers nearby scattered. Some egged them on, others shouted curses, and the scene quickly spiraled out of control.

Amada was quietly waiting for the tavern owner to show up when things suddenly took an unexpected turn.

The tavern door swung open, and a young woman strode inside.

She had striking golden hair and a tall figure. She wore a green robe with a conspicuous "Gamble" character embroidered on the back.

"I'm here to gamble, so don't cause trouble!"

Her voice was clear and strong, carrying an unquestionable authority.

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved in a flash, knocking out the troublemakers in an instant.

The entire tavern fell silent. Everyone was awed by her presence and strength.

A little girl followed close behind her, looking like her attendant or student. She gazed around curiously.

Amada sat in a corner, his eyes fixed on the woman.

He studied her carefully, and a thought struck him:

"Is that Tsunade, one of the Sannin?"

Amada had watched short videos of her in his previous life, but her iconic golden hair, the "Gamble" character on her back,

and the powerful presence she exuded made her identity instantly clear to him.

"I can't believe I ran into her here..."

Tsunade's appearance had completely disrupted his plans.

He'd planned to draw out the tavern owner by causing trouble, but now that Tsunade had brought the situation under control,

the owner probably wouldn't show himself so easily.

"What a hassle. Looks like I'll have to come up with another plan."

Amada paused to think.

As soon as Tsunade sat down, she eagerly began her game.

Unfortunately, her luck at gambling was truly awful. Before long, she'd lost nearly all the chips in front of her.

Her expression gradually darkened, and irritation crept into her eyes.

Amada carefully watched the game with the Spectator's observational skills.

He realized that while Tsunade's luck really was unbelievably bad, the dice roller was clearly cheating.

Every time Tsunade placed a bet, the dice landed on a number that neatly avoided her choice. The men were secretly rigging the game.

A thought struck Amada. He'd come up with a plan that could draw out the tavern owner and give him a chance to befriend Tsunade.

He quietly got up and took the seat beside Tsunade.

When she was about to place her next bet, Amada leaned close and whispered:

"Bet big."

Tsunade paused and turned to look at Amada. She didn't trust this stranger who'd suddenly appeared beside her,

so she ignored him and followed her own instincts, betting small.

Just as expected, the dice landed on big, and Tsunade lost another round.

As she prepared to bet for the second time, Amada whispered again:

"Bet big again."

Tsunade frowned, hesitating.

She looked at Amada, then at the dice on the table, but in the end, she still chose small.

Sure enough, the dice landed on big again.

Tsunade glanced at Amada in surprise, a flicker of confusion and anticipation in her eyes.

As she prepared to bet for the third time, Amada whispered:

"Bet small."

This time, Tsunade didn't hesitate. She pushed her chips straight onto small.

She trusted Amada's judgment a little more now.

The dice roller started shaking the dice cup, his professional smile still in place.

But Amada keenly noticed the man's fingers twitch slightly. He was clearly up to something again.

Amada knew his opportunity had arrived.

Just as the man was about to lift the cup, Amada suddenly said:

"Wait!"

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Amada, and the tension in the tavern rose.

The dice roller also froze, stopping in the middle of his movement.

Amada smiled faintly.

"You really think everyone here is a sucker?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chip shot from his hand like an arrow and struck the dice cup with pinpoint accuracy.

The cup toppled to the ground, and the dice rolled out. The man was unmistakably holding a magnet in his hand.

But the dice rollers and the burly men nearby didn't panic.

They quickly surrounded Amada and Tsunade, glaring at them menacingly.

Clearly, the men were in cahoots and had already prepared for this kind of situation.

"You're asking for it, kid!"

The dice roller ground out through clenched teeth. He slammed the magnet onto the ground,

then pulled a short knife from his waist.

The burly men around them also drew their weapons, and the tavern's atmosphere turned instantly hostile.

Standing beside Amada, Tsunade wore an amused smile.

Amada stood beside Tsunade and spoke to her in a low voice:

"If these men have been operating here for so long, the tavern owner must be letting them get away with it. He might even be the one behind it all."

Tsunade froze for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Then I don't have to pay back my losses! And you're going to compensate me, too!"

As soon as she spoke, her presence erupted, like a sleeping beast suddenly awakening.

She raised her foot and gave the ground a light tap.

"Crack!"

The floor shook instantly, and cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb.

Everyone in the tavern lost their footing. Tables and chairs toppled, while glasses and bottles crashed to the ground with a piercing shatter.

Amada quickly backed away, his heart pounding.

"That's terrifying..."

He knew Tsunade was powerful, but witnessing the force of a casual kick firsthand still left him stunned.

Tsunade didn't stop. She swung a fist, striking a burly man charging toward her.

"Boom!"

The man flew back as if struck by a cannonball,

crashed straight through the tavern wall, and disappeared from view.

A huge hole gaped in the wall, and dust billowed through the air.

Tsunade gave the others no time to react. Chakra gathered visibly around her fist,

like a ball of blue flame, before she slammed it down into the ground.

"Rumble!"

The entire tavern seemed to be lifted by an immense force. The floor split apart,

and huge chunks of earth and stone thrust upward. The walls and ceiling shuddered, as if they might collapse at any moment.

Everyone inside was rocked by the force and buried beneath the rubble.

Amada saw that the little girl was still standing there, clearly stunned by the scene unfolding before her.

Without hesitation, he rushed over, scooped her up, and ran for the tavern door.

"This place is too dangerous. I'll let Tsunade handle things herself."

Amada hurried away from the tavern, his feet never slowing.

The tavern couldn't withstand Tsunade's rampage.

Just as he ran out the door, a deafening roar came from behind him.

Amada looked back and saw the entire tavern shuddering under Tsunade's terrifying strength,

before finally collapsing with a thunderous crash, sending dust billowing and rubble flying everywhere.
