Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 102 Tsunade Laughs as She Loses Money
Outside the town, on a sheltered cliff, Kakuzu withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Awei.

Ah Wei was sitting on the ground, playing with a piece of chakra metal.

Chakra metal is an extremely rare substance in the ninja world. Weapons made from it can hold a large amount of chakra and can even amplify chakra.

This piece of metal was discovered by Awei underground in a mountain range.

Although it's only slightly larger than a goose egg, it can be worth over 2000 million taels of silver on the black market.

Most of the landmass belongs to it.

"Looks like Tsunade won the bet." Awei raised his head and smiled slightly.

"Is the Third Hokage really that weak?" Kakuzu was also speechless.

Ah Wei remained calm, as this was entirely expected.

If Danzo were the Hokage, he would definitely declare war on Akatsuki.

A young Hiruzen Sarutobi might have directly declared war on Akatsuki.

But the current third generation...

I'm getting old!

"You can't call it weakness! They're just putting the bigger picture first," Awei smiled.

Suddenly, Ah Wei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Kakuzu with a grin.

"What are you doing?" Kakuzu frowned and put some distance between them; Ah Wei's smile made him feel very uncomfortable.

"How much money do you have left?" Ah Wei asked with a smile.

"Why are you asking this?" Kakuzu asked warily.

“I suddenly thought of a way to get rich, but I’m still short of capital. How about this, you lend me tens of millions of taels first, and I’ll pay you back hundreds of millions next month.”

Upon hearing Ah Wei's words, Kakudou suspected that he had misheard.

Lend tens of millions to Awei, and he'll get hundreds of millions back next month?

10 times?
Even robbery wouldn't be this fast!

How many S-rank missions do the five great ninja villages need to complete?
How many assassination missions against Jonin do you need to take on at the underground gold exchange?
"What method?" Kakuzu asked, surprised and curious.

“Go and gamble with Tsunade.” Awei said seriously, not like he was joking.

"Looking at Tsunade's embarrassed appearance, do you think she can come up with several hundred million?" Kakuzu's eyes were filled with disdain.

From Kakuzu's perspective, Tsunade is practically penniless right now!

Of course, it's not difficult for Tsunade to make money.

But even for Tsunade, earning hundreds of millions isn't easy!
"Tsunade may not have money, but the Sarutobi clan does! And her teacher is the head of the Sarutobi clan and the Third Hokage. Just make Tsunade write an IOU! Then we can go to Konoha to collect the debt. As for how much money we lend to Tsunade, we'll lose to me anyway, so it doesn't really matter how much money we lend her."
Even if the entire Sarutobi clan were wiped out, Tsunade probably wouldn't care! Awei said with a smile.

Kakuzu's eyes widened after hearing this.

Can this be done?
But upon closer reflection, it really does seem like that.

After a moment's thought, Kakuzu said, "I still have 3.5 million years left. It's settled then, you have to pay me back 3500 million next month."

As he spoke, Kakuzu took out some money.

……

As dawn broke, Tsunade and Shizune sat resting under a tree.

There was no village or shop in sight, only dense trees, overgrown weeds, and blooming wildflowers. A stream flowed in the distance, and distant mountains were shrouded in mist.

And then the birds started chirping.

The scenery is beautiful, with the rising sun and ethereal clouds in the sky.

However, Tsunade's mind was not at peace.

Every time I win a bet, something bad happens. What will happen this time?
After resting for a while, Tsunade got up and continued on her way, while Shizune quickly followed.

Suddenly, a figure appeared not far away, arms crossed in front of him, leaning against a tree, his snake-like eyes fixed on Tsunade.

Tsunade's expression suddenly changed: "Orochimaru!"

Shine's expression also tensed up.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow; Orochimaru is an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha. Furthermore, Orochimaru and Tsunade are equally renowned.

Orochimaru licked his lips, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

"Tsunade, interested in a few bets with me?"

"Bet with me? What are we betting on?" Tsunade asked seriously.

Tsunade dared not let her guard down in the face of Orochimaru. Although they were once comrades, their paths had diverged.

Orochimaru's sudden appearance suggests he has ill intentions.

"Playing cards, let's play something fun." Orochimaru pulled out a deck of cards.

Let's play some Texas Hold'em.

As Orochimaru explained how to play, Tsunade's eyes lit up.

"But I don't have any money on me right now. How about I trade this for a few hundred million?" Tsunade took off the necklace hanging around her neck.

This necklace is a relic of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. It is a chakra crystal that only reacts to the First Hokage's chakra and can suppress the power of Jinchuriki.

Tsunade once gave this necklace to her younger brother, Nawaki, who later died.

Later, Tsunade gave the necklace to her lover, Dan Kato, who then died.

After a series of blows, Tsunade called the necklace the 'Death Necklace'.

This necklace is quite valuable; Tsunade has used it as a gambling chip many times, but no matter how many times she lost, the necklace always remained around her neck.

Of course, in her heart, this necklace also held extraordinary significance, and it was not something she could easily give up.

"No money? No problem. I can lend you some. Just write an IOU and say that the Sarutobi clan will pay it back," Orochimaru said with a smile.

Tsunade:? ? ?
Mute: ? ? ?
Massaka? Is that even possible?
"Lady Tsunade wouldn't be going to... lose the Sarutobi clan, would she?" Shizune thought of this possibility and immediately became nervous.

However, can Lady Tsunade represent the Sarutobi clan?
But Lady Tsunade used the Sarutobi clan to write an IOU, and someone took the IOU to Konoha to collect the debt from the Third Hokage?
Immediately, Jingyin gasped.

To be able to become Tsunade's teacher, the Third Hokage was truly... incredibly fortunate.

"How about it? Want to play a few rounds?" Orochimaru tossed the playing cards in his hand.

"Interesting, I'll play along." Tsunade clenched her fist, a smile spreading across her face.

It seems that the confident and forthright Tsunade has returned.

Even if the Sarutobi clan loses, she doesn't care; let the old man worry about it!
But what exactly is Orochimaru's purpose?
While analyzing the situation, Tsunade wrote an IOU.

The Sarutobi clan owes 1 million ryo, and the signature is Tsunade.

If you took an IOU like that to the Third Hokage in Konoha, he would probably be completely baffled!

Helpless against silence, Tsunade had already sat cross-legged on the ground and started playing cards with Orochimaru.

Tsunade could win against Jiraiya, but now...

"Study!"

Tsunade lost, but she was not discouraged.

To be precise, Tsunade was in a good mood even though she lost money.

Anyway, it's the Sarutobi clan's money that's being lost.

The Sarutobi clan is so large and powerful that it is estimated to have surpassed the former Senju clan.

What's wrong with her losing some money for the old man?
As for Shizune, who was standing behind Tsunade, she was extremely nervous.

Seeing Tsunade lose millions or tens of millions of taels without batting an eye, Shizune's heart... couldn't take it.

Orochimaru's pile of IOUs kept increasing.

Two and a half hours later, Orochimaru also felt that it was about time.

"That's enough for now." Orochimaru put away the money and IOU, leaving the playing cards for Tsunade to play with.

Standing up, Orochimaru formed hand seals, turned into smoke, and vanished without a trace.

Tsunade was still not satisfied.
