"Gambling isn't just about luck… it's also about strength and skill, isn't it?" Tsunade muttered to herself.
It was as if she had just discovered an entirely new world. She looked at Yun Xiao with excitement in her eyes."Boss, then I want some items that can improve my strength and skills!"
"Alright, I'll find something for you right away!" Yun Xiao quickly walked over to a counter and pulled out a book. The cover had a few large words written across it: "King of Kings."
"This book gives detailed instructions on poker cheating, mahjong cheating, dice cheating, and more. As long as you master what's inside, you'll be able to win every single time you gamble!" Yun Xiao explained.
Tsunade's eyes were glued to the book in Yun Xiao's hand, her gaze burning with desire. She swallowed hard."Boss, how much is this book?"
"Not expensive, only two hundred thousand ryō."
Compared to other items in the shop, this price wasn't considered high. After all, this was just a beginner's manual. Whether one could actually learn the skills inside was another matter entirely, so naturally, the price couldn't be too outrageous. Of course, Tsunade didn't realize this at all…
"I want it!" Tsunade said excitedly. "Shizune, hurry up and pay!"
She was already imagining herself in the future, mastering the techniques in the book and becoming the unrivaled winner at every gambling table.
At Tsunade's words, Shizune's face instantly turned pale. She quickly covered her wallet with both hands, asking in disbelief,"Lady Tsunade, do you really want to buy this book?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Tsunade nodded."Of course, it's only two hundred thousand ryō! Once I learn the skills inside, I'll definitely make a fortune. Then I'll take you out to eat delicious food and drink the best sake!"
As she spoke, Tsunade patted her chest a few times and solemnly promised.
What Shizune didn't know was that, in the future, Tsunade would indeed fulfill this promise—so much so that Shizune would end up counting money until her hands cramped…
Seeing Tsunade's overly confident expression, Shizune let out a helpless sigh. She was convinced that Tsunade had been tricked by this young man. How could there possibly be such a thing as winning every single gamble? Although she couldn't explain why Tsunade always lost, she still refused to believe such nonsense.
But Shizune knew all too well: no matter how desperately she tried to dissuade her, Tsunade would never listen. With no other choice, Shizune reluctantly pulled out a scroll from her pocket.
Coincidentally, the two of them happened to have just enough money left—exactly two hundred thousand ryō.
Tsunade hurriedly handed the scroll over to Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao took the scroll and handed her the book in exchange.
The moment Tsunade picked up the book, she impatiently began flipping through its pages.
As soon as she caught sight of the content, her breathing quickened.
In her mind, a vivid scene appeared—she was standing at the peak of the ninja world, admired and revered by all, the undisputed Goddess of Gambling!
It wasn't really her fault. The very first sentence in the book was simply too overwhelming. For someone like Tsunade, who loved gambling but always lost, the temptation was utterly irresistible.
The very first line of the book read:
"Back then, Chen Daozi learned the contents of this book and turned 20 yuan into 37 million."
"Hehehe… if I learn this, then won't twenty ryō turn into thirty-seven million?" Tsunade grinned, baring her teeth. "From now on, call me Gambling Freak, the Freak among Freaks…"
Seeing Tsunade like this, Shizune panicked. She grabbed Tsunade by the shoulders and shook her frantically, shouting in alarm:"Lady Tsunade, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
The shaking jolted Tsunade out of her daze, as if waking from a dream.
Realizing she had just lost control, her face flushed red.
She quickly lifted her hand and hastily wiped away the drool at the corner of her mouth.
To cover her embarrassment, she casually asked,"Boss, how long would it take to actually learn these gambling techniques?"
"For a beginner, around ten years or so. To reach the level of a master, maybe even longer," Yun Xiao thought for a moment and replied.
"What? Ten years?!" Tsunade roared. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that it would take that long?!"
Faced with her angry questioning, Yun Xiao spread his hands innocently, scratching his ear in a nonchalant manner."Hey, didn't you just ask me now?"
Tsunade was so furious she nearly fainted. She wanted nothing more than to punch this bastard twice to vent her frustration. After all, those two hundred thousand ryō had been her entire fortune!
"But actually, there is a way… to instantly become a master," Yun Xiao added.
At those words, Tsunade barely restrained herself from punching him."What way?"
"Hold on a moment."
Yun Xiao once again walked over to the counter and pulled out another book. This one had a far more striking cover, with bold letters across the front: "King of Kings — Deluxe Edition."
The moment she saw the words on the cover, Tsunade felt as though she was being scammed. She clenched her fists so tightly that the cracking of her knuckles could be heard, as if she were ready to pound Yun Xiao into the ground at any second.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao quickly explained,"Wait, wait! This isn't just a regular book—it's a skill book. Using it will allow you to instantly learn all the techniques inside!"
At those words, Tsunade immediately unclenched her fists, her eyes lighting up in excitement."You mean… I don't have to study? I can directly master it?"
"That's correct!"
"How much is this one?" Tsunade asked curiously.
Yun Xiao slowly raised three fingers."Thirty million ryō. Don't be fooled by the price. This contains three separate sets of skills—poker, mahjong, and dice. Once you master them, how could you possibly lose at the gambling table? Winning money will be as easy as drinking water! Winning back your investment is only a matter of time."
Hearing Yun Xiao's explanation, Tsunade swallowed back the words that were about to burst out of her mouth and nodded instead. What he said made sense—if she was destined to lose every time anyway, then winning tens of millions would only be a matter of time.
"Boss, save that book for me. I'll go get the money!" Tsunade said, running out in a hurry. "Shizune, stay here and guard it. Don't let anyone else buy my book!"
Watching Tsunade's retreating figure, Shizune was stunned. Did Lady Tsunade really just abandon her here like this?
"But… where is Lady Tsunade going to get that kind of money?" she thought. Then her eyes widened in shock."Lady Tsunade, you can't sell the clan's land!"
Yun Xiao: "???"
What on earth was going on? Was he hallucinating, or had Tsunade really gone off intending to sell the Senju clan's land?
If Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju knew about this in the afterlife, they would be absolutely furious. Especially Tobirama—he would be so enraged he might not be able to hold it in anymore…
"But then again," Yun Xiao muttered, "the Senju clan only has Tsunade left. Maybe it really would be better for her to sell it, otherwise others might start coveting it…"
