A Great Harvest!

"Good little brother, I really underestimated you! To think you had such skills! You've earned so much money!"

Tsunade looked at the coins on her back, her heart filled with indescribable joy.

Just moments ago, after Takizawa Dan entered, he was like a god among gods, cutting down any obstacle in his path. In a mere half-hour, he had relied on the game of high-low to win a staggering tens of thousands of coins!

This broke the casino's all-time record, causing a massive sensation throughout the hall.

Naturally, Takizawa Dan winning so much money drew the ire of the casino manager, who considered ways to mess with him—or at the very least, ensure he didn't walk away with the money so easily.

But when he saw Tsunade standing by Takizawa Dan's side, his expression instantly shifted into a fawning, obsequious grin.

After all, Tsunade was the Hokage of Konoha, a figure of immense status. Although she was known for losing money, if she were to truly lose her temper, it would be no laughing matter.

His casino was, after all, a gray-market operation. If he were to truly provoke such a high-ranking individual, there would be no good outcome for him.

Thinking of this, the manager dared not obstruct them any further. Not only did he have his staff see them off with fanfare, but he even rounded up the total amount to fifty thousand coins!

To an ordinary person, this sum was essentially a lifetime's savings, but to the casino, it was merely a drop in the bucket.

Using this small amount to buy Tsunade's favor and ensure future peace for his business was undoubtedly a profitable trade.

In short, today was a massive harvest for both Takizawa Dan and Tsunade!

Tsunade, in particular, was so happy she could die. With this much money, she had essentially earned back everything she had lost gambling in the past!

"Dan, although we earned quite a bit today, such good fortune doesn't happen every day. You are forbidden from gambling in the future!"

Though Tsunade was happy, she hadn't lost her sense of reason and warned Takizawa Dan sternly.

"Haha, don't worry, Tsunade-nee, I understand."

Takizawa Dan nodded earnestly. "Today, the reason we were able to walk away with this money is ultimately thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to leave so safely."

That was the truth.

Tsunade looked at Takizawa Dan, her expression shifting.

This kid was so clear-headed; no wonder he dared to walk into a casino!

It turned out he had mastered such a divine, peak-level gambling technique. Compared to him, she was nothing. To think she had been gambling every day—she really had no self-awareness at all!

In that moment, Tsunade's estimation of Takizawa Dan reached an unprecedented height, and she finally decided to quit gambling from the bottom of her heart.

As for why Takizawa Dan possessed such superb gambling skills, Tsunade wisely chose not to ask. Everyone had their secrets, and she figured that even if she asked, he wouldn't tell her.

When Takizawa Dan and Tsunade reached the entrance, the scene of them carrying those two large sacks was naturally spotted by the two bunny girls at the door.

"Look! They actually came out, and... they're carrying two such large sacks!"

One of the bunny girls said, clearly astonished.

"It's true... unbelievable. To think someone could win so much money from that casino so quickly. It's truly mind-boggling!"

The other bunny girl felt a genuine sense of awe.

At that moment, Takizawa Dan walked out. He looked at the two bunny girls, pondered for a moment, and pulled a thick stack of coins from his pocket, handing them to the first bunny girl.

"This is a tip for you. Take it home to support your mother. I wish her a speedy recovery. Also, never work a job like this again; be honest and do something proper!"

After saying this, Takizawa Dan turned and left with Tsunade.

His hearing was exceptional; he had heard this bunny girl's plight back when he first entered, so he had naturally decided to help her.

The bunny girl stood frozen. After a long while, she finally knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Takizawa Dan: "Thank you! Benefactor, I will remember you for the rest of my life!"

After leaving the casino, Takizawa Dan immediately headed with Tsunade to the scroll shop to buy all the scrolls they had in stock.

"Boss, if any more scrolls like these come in, I want them all."

Before leaving, Takizawa Dan said to the shopkeeper.

"Haha, wonderful! No problem at all. From now on, as long as I have them, I'll set them aside for you!"

The shopkeeper laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming at the sight of money. Who wouldn't want such easy income? Only a fool!

Afterward, with the money in hand, Tsunade took Takizawa Dan to a nearby bank.

Even after Takizawa Dan gave a large sum to the bunny girl at the door, he still had over forty thousand coins left!

Takizawa Dan had intended to share some with Tsunade, but she refused, insisting that he had earned the money through his own efforts and that the initial capital was his own, so she wouldn't take a cent.

Helpless, Takizawa Dan had no choice but to yield to her wishes.

Exiting the bank, Takizawa Dan looked at the shimmering bank card in his hand, feeling a wave of emotion.

He was now a man with a bank card. The forty-plus thousand coins on this card were enough to ensure he would never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life, should he choose to live as an ordinary person.

However, if he chose to become a ninja, the expenses would be astronomical.

But there was no helping that; in this world, ninjas were the mainstream. Although becoming a ninja required vast amounts of money, the future returns could not be measured in currency alone.

Besides, if he truly became a famous ninja, would he ever need to worry about money? Absolutely not.

Regardless, this money was enough to last him a long time.

"Alright, Takizawa Dan, the matter is basically settled now. Let's head back. Once we return, we'll continue your training immediately!"

Tsunade said with a smile.

"Alright!"

Takizawa Dan naturally had no objections to this, nodding in agreement.

And so, that very afternoon, Takizawa Dan temporarily moved into Tsunade's home and began his earnest training.

The main focus of his training was, naturally, the control of his strength.

Simply put, it was training in the methods of exerting force.
