Tanzaku Town, gambling house.
The air was filled with the complex smell of tobacco, sweat and copper coins, and the sound of shouts, the clatter of dice, and the clatter of chips being pushed over mingled into a sea of noise.
This is a gambler's paradise or hell, where money and luck collide wildly.
In front of the busiest gaming table, the crowd gathered around was extremely excited.
Not because the bet is the biggest, but because the person sitting opposite Dealer is the legendary Big Fat Sheep.
Her Golden and Long Hair are tied into a ponytail, with a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, and her figure is proud.
At this moment, she was staring at the Dice Cup shaking in Dealer's hand, breathing slightly rapidly.
Next to her, Shizune, who was holding the pink piglet Tonton, was tugging at Tsunade's sleeves with an anxious look on his face, and whispered in her ear:
"Lady Tsunade, we can't gamble anymore. We are almost losing all our money. If we keep losing, we won't even have money for hotel and food!"
Shizune is almost going crazy.
They had gambled all the way from Land of Hot Water to here, and the money that was originally quite generous had been almost spent due to Lady Tsunade's terrible "luck" that "you will lose every time you gamble".
If this continues, they will really end up living on the streets!
However, how can Tsunade, who is in full swing of gambling, listen and give advice?
"Okay, okay, I got it! Don't make any noise!"
Tsunade waved his hand casually impatiently, his eyes still fixed on Dice Cup.
"Look at me, I can win back everything I lost before!"
She took a deep breath, her face showed a light that was common among gamblers, a mixture of luck and determination, and then without hesitation, she pushed all the remaining chips in front of her into the "big" area!
"Study!"
She waved her hand proudly and shouted to Dealer:
"Come on! Keep going, drive!"
The surrounding crowd let out a burst of excited exclamations and cheers.
Big Fat Sheep studs again!
The show is coming!
Dealer may be happy in his heart. Under the gaze of everyone, Dice Cup was revealed.
"One, two, three, six o'clock!"
The clear ringing sound is like the final verdict.
The pile of chips in front of Tsunade, which represented the last hope, was skillfully taken away by Dealer.
In the end, of course, I lost completely.
"Again... lost again..."
Shizune His vision went dark and he almost fainted.
Tonton also made a "puff" sound in her arms, as if she was lamenting.
Tsunade stared blankly at the empty table, the pride and luck on his face instantly solidified, and then he collapsed.
She pursed her lips, and a very brief moment of confusion and frustration flashed in her eyes, but it was soon covered by a deeper irritability and the obsession, or self-comfort, of "I will definitely make a comeback if I try again."
"Tsk, be more serious!"
She muttered, touched her empty pocket, and then tried to touch the wine flask out of habit, but it was also empty.
Finally, he leaned back in his chair in frustration.
The lenders and speculators in the gambling house, who had long been eyeing "Big Fat Sheep", swarmed in like sharks that smelled blood!
"Lady Tsunade, don't lose heart, I'll lend you money!"
A fat man with a smile on his face and shrewd eyes was the first to come up, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"And me, the interest rates here are low and the procedures are fast!"
A tall and thin man was not to be outdone.
"Lady Tsunade, I don't need a mortgage, I just rely on your credit!"
Another voice sounded.
They all talked and scrambled, as if Tsunade had not just lost all their money, but was the lucky one who was about to win the jackpot.
Although Tsunade and "the legendary Big Fat Sheep" are famous and often fail to repay their debts and disappear, this does not prevent the lenders from continuing to work.
The reason is simple, because Jiraiya.
In the eyes of these lenders, Jiraiya is a true hero and a true loyalist!
Most of Tsunade's gambling debts were paid off by Jiraiya.
For these lenders, no matter whether it is Tsunade or Jiraiya who pays back the money in the end, as long as the money can actually be returned to the hands and the interest is repaid happily, that is enough!
Tsunade, in their eyes, is simply a "quality customer" with a reliable "guarantor" and a strong spending power!
Two Casino thugs were thrown in.
"Who said she has no money?"
A clear voice came from the door.
"Lady Tsunade, I'm here to give you money."
He is wearing Konoha's iconic green Jonin vest, with Deep Blue lining, Forehead Protector straight.
He was also carrying a heavy-looking cloth bag casually in his hand.
Tsunade and Shizune turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the source of the sound.
Their eyes met directly with Naruto, who was holding the money bag and looking at them calmly.
Shizune's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened slightly, and Tonton in his arms also poked his head out curiously.
'This Young Naruto... looks like... Master Fourth Hokage...'
Shizune exclaimed in his heart.
Shizune is Niece of Dan Katō, which is about the same size as Kakashi. Naturally, I have seen Minato.
The Young Naruto's eyebrows, hair color, and even the calm and sharp temperament of the Young Naruto in front of me are all very similar to the Fourth Hokage in my memory.
However, there are patterns like Six Paths beard on his face, so it is different after all.
The reaction of Tsunade is faster and more complex than that of Shizune.
After her initial shock, shock, doubt, and scrutiny flashed across her green eyes.
She looked at Naruto, and then at the money bag in his hand.
Could this Kid... be the son of... Minato?
How dare the old man let Nine-Tails Jinchuriki leave the village to perform a mission?
Naruto ignored the guys who collapsed on the ground in fear, and also ignored the various suspicious and probing looks in the gambling room.
Carrying the money bag, he walked straight through the automatically separated crowd and walked to the gambling table of Tsunade.
He opened the money bag, and a wad of banknotes fell on the table, and soon it fell into a small mountain.
Everyone was shocked by this hand. There was so much money in that small bag?
All of this money was earned by Naruto from manuscript fees. Except for the tight expenses of practicing Taijutsu during the Ninja Academy period, Naruto never lacked money.
Tsunade looked at this scene with some surprise.
But after thinking about it for a moment, she understood how it was done.
Did you use Sealing Jutsu on that bag?
Naruto pointed at the money.
"Let's bet. If you lose, then come with me to get treatment."
Tsunade leaned back, the back of the chair creaked slightly, and hugged his arms, highlighting his proud curves, but his posture became more relaxed.
She took the money bag from Naruto and then called to Shizune, whose eyes were shining, to put the money away.
It just so happens that Tsunade doesn't want to gamble anymore. Just like Shizune said, if he continues to gamble, he won't even have the money to drink.
That's not possible!
"I will accept the money first."
Then, she stood up, her posture tall and straight, and she instantly regained the momentum of one of the legendary Sannin.
"Let me go with you to get treatment first."
Naruto took out the wine he bought in advance from Ninja Tool Pouch and handed it to Tsunade who was walking towards him.
"Daiginjo Sake, it's not bad."
Tsunade took the wine without ceremony and blew on the bottle.
