This Naruto is a player.

Chapter 53 Nine-Tailed Fox: You think you can beat me with 17 cards?

Before the team split up, Sasuke mentioned that his house was quite big.

Naruto turned his head away, pretending not to hear.

Then, Sasuke suggested that he wanted to stay overnight at Naruto's house.

Naruto resolutely refused.

This Sassa is up to no good. Didn't you see Sakura's expression change?

Stay away from him from now on.

Naruto refused Sasuke's request to stay overnight and went home alone.

Night, training space.

"Naruto and Kurama's Home"

Naruto + "Card Master Naruto" + Kurama are playing cards.

"Single move 3."

Card Master Naruto is the landlord. He glances at his two opponents and throws out a small three.

"Bomb!" Nine-Tails suddenly unleashed four 2s.

Kurama, mimicking Naruto's old tone, said arrogantly, "Nalut, I only have one card left."

It looked smug, its face gradually becoming rounder, and its eyes were so narrowed they were almost invisible.

Ever since it started playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) with Naruto, it has been losing every time and rarely wins.

But this time, it's about to win!
Upon glancing at Kurama's last remaining cards, Naruto, also a farmer, immediately clapped, providing ample emotional value.

"Nine Lama, you played your cards exceptionally well."

The Card Master's personality is that of a true card master, a professional card player who can throw paper playing cards with the effect of iron shurikens.

He wasn't in a hurry to play his card. He exchanged a glance with Naruto's main body, and the two winked at each other in tacit understanding.

Then, Naruto with the card began to patiently persuade him.

“Nine Lama, we started playing together when we were 3 years old. Now we are 12 years old, so it’s been 9 years.”

"Nine years, 3285 nights, 25,000 hours."

“2.5 hours. Although it’s just a small part of your life, Kurama, you occupy almost my entire life.”

After delivering a heartfelt speech, Card Master Naruto stared at Kurama and said with genuine emotion, "We should be very, very good friends, right?"

"Of course!" Nine-Tails knew immediately after a quick calculation.

Although it had been inside other people's stomachs, those people rarely saw it and hardly ever spoke a word to it.

Even if I were to see the fox itself, I would either use its power or try to control it.

Only Naruto gave him freedom, fried chicken, sweet drinks, and stayed by his side.

Moreover, nine years! If you count the time spent together face-to-face, Naruto is second only to the Sage of Six Paths.

The two were already best friends.

“Alright, Nine-Ra, let’s make another bet.”

"What are we betting on?" Nine-Tails asked, puzzled. Wasn't this already a bet?
“Let’s make another bet. If I lose, you can ask for anything, and I can grant it. If you lose, I have to hold RUA for two hours!”

"So? Do you dare?"

What bad intentions could Naruto possibly have?
He just wanted to pet the fluffy Nine-Tails.

Now that you're chubby, you'd be perfect for a rub.

RUA for two hours?

Upon hearing this, Nine-Tails began to wonder if there was some kind of trap.

Although the two have a very good relationship, do you think Kurama has any dignity?

but.

It wants unlimited Coke, fried chicken, and family buckets of everything.

And with the latest games, comics, and novels, especially the games, I really want to play two-player Contra with Naruto!

If all else fails, Mario the repairman will do.

Moreover, it's not necessarily true that Nine-Tailed Fox will lose.

Let's sense the cards in Naruto's hand.

That's right, the little king who was marked with chakra before is still in Naruto's hands.

Let's take another look at the cards in Naruto's clone's hand.

There are a total of 17.

Can you beat me with 17 cards?

I'll give you a jump right now!

"I'll go with it!" Nine-Lama joined the high-stakes gamble.

"Great, a royal flush! A plane~~~ I'm out!" Card Naruto instantly threw out a card that shouldn't have been in his hand, followed by a 15-card plane and he was out.

Nine-Tailed Fox was dumbfounded.

This isn't right.

Seeing the round-faced Nine-Tails' astonished expression, Naruto himself almost couldn't help but laugh.

Haha, Nine-Tailed Fox, do you even know the significance of the God of Gamblers title?
He can make whatever he wants. That's the God of Gamblers!
Moreover, with two gambling gods serving a novice like you, your Nine-Lama is incredibly lucky.

Say thank you quickly.

Kurama (the Nine-Tails) flipped open Naruto's original card, and the card marked with chakra was no longer the King, but a lowly nobody.

Finished!

Nine-Tails looked utterly dejected.

I have a vague feeling that it might have been tricked by two people working together.

Kurama looked at Naruto's true form, "Narutto."

But Naruto completely ignored its explanation and jumped over it.

"Kurama! You smell so good!" Naruto hugged Kurama and rubbed against it. It was so soft and felt amazing, a million times better than a plush toy.

Oh~
Helpless, Kurama could only grumble at Naruto while glancing around at his surroundings.

I doubt anyone saw it.

If it were seen by others, it would lose face as the nine-tailed beast and the leader of the tailed beasts.

However, it did not resist.

A bet's a bet, so it's definitely not that the Nine-Tails really likes Naruto.

Yes, it is like that.

Two hours, please pass quickly!

Before we knew it, it was the next day.

Under the big tree at the chestnut shop.

"Naruto~"

From afar, Naruto saw Sakura, dressed up beautifully, waving at him.

Standing next to her was Sasuke.

Sasuke was dressed the same as yesterday.

Naruto even suspected that this guy might have ordered seven sets of the same outfit.

"Sakura. Here you go." Naruto greeted her weakly.

He wasn't planning on going out to play, but Sakura wanted to invite Sasuke out, but Sasuke only asked if Naruto was there.

So Sakura invited him out again.

Naruto doesn't want to be a third wheel!
But today, it's no longer an option.

However, this bizarre love triangle is a bit strange.

"Ah."

Sasuke nodded as a greeting.

Sakura, who was behind him, winked at Naruto when Sasuke wasn't looking.

Naruto understood.

Today is creating an opportunity for them; he can find a chance to slip away later.

"Sasuke-kun, do you want some chestnuts?" Sakura asked solicitously. This was a rare break, and today she wanted to take things a step further and win over Sasuke before Ino could!
But fate often doesn't go as planned.

"Sasuke-kun!" A joyful shout suddenly came from afar.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Naruto saw Team 10, which included Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino.

"Are you guys resting too?" Naruto greeted his two friends warmly upon seeing them again.

The three of them hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, and they remembered that the last time they met was...

"This is so troublesome!"

Finally free from picking up trash, Shikamaru wanted to lie at home and watch the clouds during his break, but his teammates dragged him out.

He's so annoyed.

"Hey, wanna have some potato chips?" Choji handed the potato chips to Naruto.

Naruto looked up at the sky; it was only a little past 9 o'clock.

It's not lunchtime yet.

However, to be considerate of his friend's feelings, he still took one.

The three of them were relatively harmonious, but on the other side, they were about to start arguing!

"Inoboro! Let Sasuke go!"

"Ugly woman! You're the one who should stay away from Sasuke!"

Sakura and Ino glared at each other, and it looked like they were about to fight.

"Women!" Shikamaru, Naruto, and Choji sighed deeply.

Sasuke: It's irrelevant.
