“No!” Tsunade was very firm, “Why do you, a ninja academy student, want to borrow money? My money is still useful, unless you have a proper reason.”

Ye Shu chuckled, “Is your money for winning back what you lost?”

“Of course.”

Tsunade’s face was full of confidence.

Ye Shu sighed helplessly. It seemed Tsunade wasn’t going to lend him the money.

However, Ye Shu also had a way.

“Tsunade, if you don’t lend me the money, I’ll tell Grandma about you frequenting the casino. I believe Grandma won’t spare you if she finds out.”

“You…”

Tsunade clenched her fists, making a crackling sound.

She didn’t expect Ye Shu to threaten her in such a way.

And this move was truly vicious.

She wasn’t afraid of Grandma Uzumaki Mito; Grandma Uzumaki Mito was very kind to them and usually took care of the daily lives of their three siblings. But precisely because of this, she didn’t want Grandma to worry.

“I’m really afraid of you.”

Tsunade could only reluctantly give Ye Shu ten ryo out of the twenty ryo she had left.

“Let’s go, let’s play together.”

Tsunade immediately glared at Ye Shu, “You want to gamble too?”

Tsunade knew that once you get addicted to gambling, it’s hard to quit. Speaking of which, she got into this bad habit of gambling because Senju Hashirama introduced her to it back then.

Thinking of her grandfather, Senju Hashirama, Tsunade felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Her grandfather had given a lot to the village, but only limited to the Senju clan.

Her grandfather, Senju Hashirama, was a perfect idealist. It was because of his idealism that he established the prosperous Konoha with the Uchiha clan.

But his idealism crumbled in reality.

Uchiha Madara defected.

Even if he had the power to suppress the Tailed Beasts, he couldn’t eliminate the hatred in people’s hearts.

Just like the Uchiha clan now, if it weren’t for the Konoha high-ups, and if the remaining descendants of the Senju clan weren’t so few, the conflicts between the two clans would probably have been entangled endlessly.

And what about the other clans?

Many clans in the village had now sided with the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan. Thinking about it now, these clans that joined after Konoha was founded were not what Senju Hashirama had envisioned.

He also underestimated the estrangement between families and the political maneuvering. He saw people as too beautiful, so much so that his great-uncle said he was “naive.”

If everyone in this world were so beautiful, there would be no wars.

“Yes.”

While Tsunade was deep in thought, Ye Shu nodded heavily.

“Tsunade, can I gamble at the same table as you?”

Ye Shu’s words interrupted Tsunade’s thoughts on idealism. Tsunade looked up at Ye Shu, who had transformed into “Tsunade.” Because of the obstruction of Chibaku Tensei, she couldn’t see Ye Shu’s face.

But Tsunade could imagine how mischievous Ye Shu’s expression was.

“At the same table as me?” Tsunade couldn’t help but wonder, “Do you also want to win my money? We’re family, and your money is even borrowed from me…”

Everyone in the casino was willing to be at the same table as Tsunade, precisely because they saw her as a big fat sheep. She didn’t expect Ye Shu to also plan to be at the same table as her.

“I want to win back all the money you lost!”

Ye Shu clenched his fists. He not only wanted to win back what Tsunade lost, but he also wanted to make everyone present win big.

Of course, if he relied solely on gambling skills, Ye Shu didn’t have that level.

Even Chow Yun-fat wouldn’t dare to boast like that.

But Ye Shu had a cheating artifact.

This cheating artifact was Tsunade!

Didn’t Tsunade always lose when she gambled?

Then wouldn’t it be fine to bet the opposite of Tsunade?

Bet the opposite of Tsunade, and a villa by the sea awaits.

This cheating artifact was free to use, so why not use it?

“No more bets, no more bets.”

Ye Shu led Tsunade to the dice table. This game was the simplest and easiest to operate, essentially betting on big or small.

Other gambling methods had three or more possibilities, which were not as safe for Ye Shu. This game with only two possibilities was the safest.

“No more bets~”

“Excuse me, are you betting on big or small?”

The sexy dealer was dealing cards.

Ye Shu sat down at the gambling table and asked Tsunade, “If it were you, would you bet on big or small?”

Tsunade placed her finger on her forehead, striking a pose of a thinker, while carefully observing all the available information on the gambling table.

The dealer’s right hand landed on the table first, so it must be small. This was an experience she had summarized many times. Since that’s the case, then it’s decided!

“Small!”

Then, Tsunade bet her ten ryo on small.

“Good!”

Ye Shu unhesitatingly bet on big.

Tsunade was stunned.

At the same table as me, this is how you operate?

Aren’t you insulting this young lady’s gambling skills?

And seeing Ye Shu, who had transformed into “Tsunade,” bet on big, those old gamblers all bet on small.

After all, Tsunade was the big fat sheep, and her reputation for always losing when gambling was very famous in the casino, and without exception, it had always been this way.

Given this, of course, they had to bet the opposite of “Tsunade.” This was also an experience they had summarized.

In an instant, those who bet on small had already reached a hundred ryo, while only a few people, like “Tsunade,” bet on big.

In other words, if big came out this round, Ye Shu could earn ten times.

“Everyone, it’s about to open~”

The sexy dealer announced.

Everyone’s eyes were focused.

“Small, small, small!”

…

When the dealer revealed the answer, everyone present fell silent.

“Congratulations to the boss who bet on big!”

After the dealer took the rake, she pushed all the money on the table in front of Ye Shu, and Ye Shu instantly had nearly a hundred ryo.

Excluding Tsunade’s ten ryo, he net ninety ryo.
