Hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade snapped back to her senses as if waking from a dream. She quickly bent down, one hand tightly clutching the bag on the ground while the other grabbed Shizune, and the two hurriedly rushed out of the shop.
From outside came a hearty and bold laugh:"Boss, we'll be leaving first, see you later!"
Before the voice had even faded, the two had vanished like lightning, leaving not a trace behind.
Yun Xiao walked to the doorway, watching the two figures disappear farther and farther until they were completely gone. He couldn't help but chuckle softly and shake his head, muttering to himself:
"Perhaps, starting from today, Tsunade's title will no longer be 'Fat Sheep,' but instead… 'Gambling God.'"
A flicker of indescribable light flashed in his eyes, as if he could already see Tsunade slaughtering every opponent at the gambling tables.
The Capital of the Land of Fire.
"Tsunade-sama, is everything you said really true?" Shizune's eyes widened in disbelief, her face filled with shock.
"Of course! This time, we're definitely going to make a huge profit!" Tsunade promised with absolute confidence.
It turned out that along the way, Tsunade had excitedly shared with Shizune all the miraculous gambling techniques she had just learned inside Yun Xiao's shop.
Although Shizune inwardly refused to believe that such outrageous things actually existed in the world, she couldn't shake the feeling that Tsunade-sama had most likely fallen into some kind of illusion cast by the boss, getting tricked and losing her way.
But seeing Tsunade's unshakable confidence, Shizune couldn't bring herself to dampen her mistress's enthusiasm.
She could only sigh helplessly in silence and resign herself to the fact that Tsunade had definitely been fooled. She simply assumed that all of their money would soon be gambled away by Tsunade again…
Spotting a casino not far away, Tsunade's eyes lit up with excitement. She immediately pulled Shizune toward it and declared:
"Shizune, just watch how I turn five hundred thousand into fifty million!"
Shizune said nothing. She had already seen this scene countless times—Tsunade confidently vowing she would win big, only to lose everything not long after.
At that moment, several burly men suddenly appeared, their faces fierce and scarred. They surrounded Tsunade and Shizune in an instant.
One of them rubbed his hands together excitedly and said with a greedy gleam in his eyes, "Tsunade-sama, have you come to pay back your debt?" His gaze was locked firmly on the purse in Tsunade's hand.
Only then did Tsunade remember—she had once borrowed five hundred thousand ryō from this casino in high-interest loans, and naturally, she had lost every bit of it.
Almost instinctively, she hid the purse behind her back.
The thug's face darkened immediately. He frowned and asked threateningly:"Tsunade-sama, are you trying to renege on your debt? Planning to become a deadbeat?"
At those words, Tsunade's mouth twitched involuntarily. Things had reached this point, and she had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the bag in her hand to the men.
Tsunade was furious. If she had known, she should have gone to a different casino first… won some money… and then returned to pay off the loan.
Now, she had failed her mission before it had even started.
After taking the money bag, the men began counting through the silver carefully. Before long, they finished.
The leader nodded in satisfaction and grinned."Mm, not a coin more, not a coin less—exactly five hundred thousand ryō. Since you're such a loyal customer, we won't charge interest this time!"
With that, he casually tossed the now-empty purse back into Tsunade's arms.
Tsunade stared at the limp, empty bag in her hands. She wanted to cry, but no tears would come. Without a single coin left, how could she gamble?
Back then, even Chen Daozi had at least twenty coins as starting capital. Now, she didn't even have seed money…
At this moment, she was like a tiger locked in a cage—possessing incredible gambling skills, but with no place to unleash them. The frustration drove her nearly insane!
She roared in anger:"Damn it! If that old man hadn't turned the Senju lands into a commercial district on his own, how could I have sold everything for only a little over thirty million?!"
As it turned out, when Tsunade had returned to the Senju compound, she discovered that the land of the Senju clan had already been demolished years ago and rebuilt into a business district…
Only the houses of her great-grandfather Senju Hashirama and great-uncle Senju Tobirama remained. With no other choice, Tsunade had sold those two homes.
Yet unbelievably, just those two houses had sold for over thirty million ryō! If she had been able to sell the entire Senju estate together, the price would have been terrifyingly high.
One could hardly imagine how much Hiruzen Sarutobi must have embezzled over the years…
Just as Tsunade was sinking into despair, a silver note worth ten thousand ryō suddenly appeared before her eyes. She looked up in disbelief, only to see Shizune handing it to her.
Shizune smiled warmly."Tsunade-sama, this time you must win! Otherwise, tonight's dinner will be nothing but pig feed…"
Taking the note, Tsunade's expression grew serious."Don't worry, Shizune. This time, I will definitely win. All you need to do is watch!"
With that, Tsunade strode into the casino, the bold word "Gamble" written across her back glowing vividly under the setting sun.
"When Chen Daozi once turned just twenty coins into thirty-seven million, today I, Tsunade, will follow in his footsteps!"
With those words, she marched straight into the casino.
The lively casino instantly fell silent the moment Tsunade entered. Every gambler stopped what they were doing, their eyes shining with excitement as they stared at her.
A newcomer to the casino asked curiously:"Who is this woman? Why does everyone look so excited?"
"You don't even know the legendary 'Fat Sheep' of the gambling world?"
"What?! That's her—the legendary Big Fat Sheep?!"
"That's right. She loses every single time she gambles. If you bet against her, you're guaranteed to make money!"
Hearing this, even those who had never heard of Tsunade before were now looking at her as though they had discovered some priceless treasure.
Everyone eagerly crowded toward the table where Tsunade sat down.
That table was running a dice game—betting on high or low. The dealer began shaking the dice cup with practiced skill. Tsunade's ears twitched slightly; she had already discerned the exact numbers of the dice inside.
Her red lips curled into a confident smile."I'll bet on high," she declared.
Without hesitation, she pulled out the full ten thousand ryō note and placed it firmly on the table.
Seeing this, the other gamblers all rushed to bet on low. Not a single one chose to follow Tsunade's lead and bet on high!
Once both sides had placed their wagers, the dealer slowly lifted the lid of the dice cup.
What happened next left everyone dumbstruck—
The numbers on the dice added up to a high roll!
The gamblers who had been so certain they would win all stared at the dice in disbelief.
An uproar immediately broke out across the casino:
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"How could it be high?!"
