Life in Konoha: Three Choices at the Start - Chapter 12

"Lady Tsunade! You lost! Looks like your title as Konoha's God of Gamblers is nothing but a hollow name after all!"

"You little brat! Not bad! I only rolled casually just now. Now you're worth me giving it my all!"

The corners of Tsunade's lips curled up, and she put on an expression of approval toward Liuyun.

"Let's have another round. I'll show you the true strength of Konoha's God of Gamblers!"

"You roll first again this round!"

Liuyun smiled. "Okay!"

He secretly snickered to himself. I'll definitely make you learn what it means to lose both your wife and your army.

Your first kiss? Hand it over!

Your fierce hug? Hand it over!

Kato Dan? Hand him over! No! Get lost!

For a moment, his thoughts had gotten mixed up.

Picking up the three dice again, Liuyun rolled them the same way as before.

112—four points again.

Uchiha Mikoto sighed and looked toward Tsunade with her beautiful eyes.

Tsunade did not put on airs either. She picked up the three dice, her expression serious, and what looked like blazing flames flickered in her eyes.

Her fair, delicate hand rolled the dice again!

Heaven played another joke on this God of Gamblers from Konoha.

111—three points, a low roll. Liuyun won this round again.

Uchiha Mikoto puffed out her little cheeks, her face flushed red. If she had not been so well-mannered, she probably would have burst out laughing right there.

"That's it? Konoha's God of Gamblers?" Liuyun put on a disdainful expression.

"Brat! Are you looking down on me?" Tsunade grabbed Liuyun by the collar and roared furiously.

"I'm not looking down on you. I'm looking down on your gambling skills!" Liuyun corrected her.

"Let's go again!"

"No! We have to go back and eat!"

"Eat what? Keep going! I'll show you the might of Konoha's God of Gamblers!"

Tsunade continued taunting him.

Liuyun was helpless. He put on a pitiful expression and looked toward Uchiha Mikoto.

"Mikoto, it looks like I won't be leaving anytime soon! Why don't you go back and prepare dinner first?"

"All right!"

Uchiha Mikoto nodded obediently. She could tell that Lady Tsunade was angry because she could not stand losing.

It was not as if they were gambling money. Did she really have to take it so seriously?

Then, thinking of the rumors about Lady Tsunade, Mikoto figured that if Liuyun did not let Lady Tsunade vent her anger and gamble to her heart's content tonight, it would probably be difficult for them to go home.

With that thought, Uchiha Mikoto turned and walked toward home.

Rather than having both of them stand around waiting here, it was better for her to go back. That way, when Liuyun returned, he could have a hot meal.

Only after Uchiha Mikoto's figure had completely disappeared from Liuyun's sight did he continue with his gambling plan.

In the third round, Liuyun rolled 5 points! Tsunade rolled 4 points!

In the fourth round, Liuyun rolled 12 points! Tsunade rolled 5 points!

An hour later, Liuyun's face was filled with helplessness. After winning against Tsunade yet again,

he glanced at Tsunade's anxious, frantic expression and thought, That should do it.

"Lady Tsunade! It's been an hour already! Can we stop now? I still have to go to school tomorrow!"

"No! No! I haven't won even once! Again! I refuse to believe I can't beat you even once!"

Tsunade hurriedly waved her hands, her eyes filled with an unwillingness to lose.

"How about this? Since we're playing, let's add some stakes each time!"

"What stakes?" Tsunade became interested.

"Whoever loses has to agree to one condition from the winner. The condition must be within what they're personally able to do! Of course, agreeing to the condition is entirely voluntary."

Afraid that Tsunade would refuse, Liuyun added another clause.

"Fine!" Tsunade agreed without hesitation.

After all, if she lost and Liuyun made a request, she could simply refuse to agree to it.

"Keep going!"

Tsunade shouted and rolled the dice in her hand.

566—a total of 17 points!

"Hahahaha! Even Heaven is helping me! I've lost to you so many times, but let's see how you win this time!"

"Brat! You should have suggested this earlier. Otherwise, I would have started winning long ago!"

Tsunade laughed excitedly, making the two righteous peaks before her chest sway and leaving Liuyun dumbfounded.

"Got it! Got it!"

Liuyun withdrew his gaze, picked up the dice, and rolled them.

666—three of a kind! An instant sweep.

Tsunade, who had been laughing, immediately looked as though something had gotten stuck in her throat. Her face turned bright red.

Her eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? How is it possible that you still won?!"

"There's nothing impossible about it! Facts speak louder than words. Looks like Lady Luck is on my side today!"

Liuyun spread out both hands and spoke calmly.

"Brat, you! Let's go again!" Tsunade's expression hardened.

"Don't forget our bet!"

"Tell me. What condition do you want?"

Liuyun rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "It's nothing much. Just kiss me once!"

"That's it?"

Tsunade froze, clearly not expecting Liuyun's request to be so simple.

She immediately leaned over and gave Liuyun's cheek a hard bite.

In her eyes, Liuyun was only a brat. It was just a kiss, and it was not as if she had never kissed him before.

Besides, he was a handsome brat. She could just treat it as giving her younger brother Nawaki a kiss.

"Again!" Tsunade shouted boldly after kissing him.

"All right!" Liuyun said with a smile, savoring the sensation on his cheek.

A moment later, Tsunade asked dejectedly, "What do you want this time?"

"Just hug me once!"

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Tsunade lifted Liuyun up, positioned his head, and pressed and kneaded him fiercely!!

It was as if she wanted to vent all the irritability she had built up today.

"Are you trying to murder me?"

Liuyun panted heavily, his face flushed red. It felt good, but it could cost him his life!

"Again!"

"No! No!" Liuyun hurriedly shook his head.

His objective had already been achieved. There was no need to stay here any longer. Making his escape was the best strategy.

If they went one more round, he would probably kick the bucket.

"What? You took advantage of me and now you want to leave?"

Tsunade's expression turned cold as she directly grabbed Liuyun by the collar.

"Isn't it time to eat?" Liuyun said with an awkward smile.

"Keep playing!"

"All right!"

An hour later, Liuyun's face was covered in lipstick marks.

Yet his face wore a look of utter despair, like a young woman who had just been assaulted.

At that moment, the gate of the Senju Clan opened, and a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy walked out.

He gave Liuyun a sympathetic look, a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Big Sister! Grandma says that's enough. You should let him go home!"

A glimmer of hope immediately appeared in Liuyun's gloomy eyes. He looked at the boy beside him with deep gratitude.

"Hmph! He really got off easy! Uchiha Liuyun, right? I'll remember you!"

"We didn't have enough fun today. We'll have a great battle another day!"

"Sure, sure, sure! Another day, I'll definitely battle Lady Tsunade until dawn!"

Liuyun stood up and nodded at Senju Nawaki beside him.

He turned around and activated the Body Flicker Technique, his entire figure vanishing from their sight in an instant.

A trace of astonishment appeared on Senju Nawaki's face. He smiled bitterly and said, "Big Sister, look at how badly you scared him!"

"Hmph! I was only teaching this lecherous brat a lesson, so he'd know that not every advantage was so easy to take!"

Tsunade snorted in retort, then turned around with a smile on her face.

That smile made Nawaki's hair stand on end.

"Big Sister hasn't come home for half a year. Let her see how much you've improved!"

Senju Nawaki did not hesitate for even a moment. He turned and ran toward the courtyard.

As he ran, he shouted, "Grandma, save me!"

At the Uchiha Clan Compound, Liuyun finished wiping the "saliva" from his face and walked toward his home with a smug look.

Feeling the changes in his body, Liuyun sighed emotionally. As expected of Princess Tsunade, who was known throughout the Shinobi World as the city of fat sheep.

System, give me a few more benefits like this tomorrow!

When he was still some distance from his home, Liuyun saw Uchiha Mikoto propping up her chin with both hands, watching this way like a stone wife waiting for her husband.

The moment she saw him, a beautiful smile bloomed across her little face.

Liuyun's figure flashed. Just as Uchiha Mikoto was about to run over, she suddenly felt her entire body leave the ground.

When she saw the familiar face so close to hers, her little face instantly flushed with embarrassment.

"L-Liuyun! You're awful!"

"Hahahaha! I just wanted to see what my Mikoto looks like when she gets embarrassed!"
