Orochimaru, hearing Uchiha Seiryu's serious tone, also began to ponder.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, so he could understand what Uchiha Seiryu was saying.
But this also involves Orochimaru's future, and he has to weigh the pros and cons.
Uchiha Seiryu gave them two choices: if they wanted something better, they had to make some sacrifices.
But what that sacrifice entailed, Uchiha Seiryu didn't say.
Thinking about this, Orochimaru raised a question.
"Starflow-kun, what is the price you're talking about?"
Uchiha Seiryu chuckled as he looked at Orochimaru, who had become somewhat tense.
"Don't be so nervous, I won't do anything to you."
"As for what I mean by giving, it's very simple. I give knowledge, and I hope to receive knowledge in return."
"So, if you choose this path, what you will have to pay is the knowledge you gain from studying ninjutsu in the future."
Hearing this, Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought that Uchiha Seiryu wanted him to obey his every command from now on, just like the samurai in the story.
"I choose the Senju's treasured collection. I will back up all the ninjutsu I research in the future for you. How about that?"
Knowledge for knowledge is fair, so Orochimaru agreed to the terms.
Uchiha Seiryu was also quite satisfied, although Orochimaru's ninjutsu insights were of little use to him.
However, if he wants to improve Konoha's military strength in the future...
These things are undoubtedly very valuable.
As for the results obtained by idling, those high-level items are naturally only taught to one's own relatives.
Uchiha Seiryu wasn't a saint. Although he wanted Konoha to become stronger, he wouldn't go so far as to harm his own interests.
"In that case, I need to talk to Grandma about this. Let's go back now, there's no rush."
Orochimaru nodded, agreeing with his statement.
So they went back inside and found Mito Uzumaki explaining sealing techniques to Tsunade.
After Uchiha Seiryu shared his thoughts with her, she waved her hand dismissively and said:
"Now that I've given you this scroll, it's up to you how you deal with it."
In this matter, Mito Uzumaki still unconditionally trusted Seiryu Uchiha.
Sometimes he even wondered if he had really been possessed by a succubus when he traveled through time.
In fact, he himself had forgotten that Mito Uzumaki had an ability that only the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki possessed: the ability to sense evil thoughts.
This ability can detect a person's malice. No matter how well you hide it, as long as you harbor hostility, it will be detected.
Although the villagers didn't say it, every single one of them would have an unintentional malice when facing her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said something like, "Let the container be filled with love first," to Kushina Uzumaki.
But this feeling was not present in Uchiha Seiryu at all.
Uchiha Seiryu, without the slightest suspicion or fear, simply stood before her.
People with physical abnormalities are most concerned about how others perceive them.
Mito Uzumaki was not immune to this as well.
Combined with his eyes that seemed to come from a peaceful era, Mito Uzumaki actually trusted him more than he thought.
As long as Uchiha Seiryu doesn't betray the village, Uzumaki Mito will continue to support him unconditionally.
Just then, Tsunade mischievously made a face at them.
When Mito Uzumaki saw this, she not only did not stop it, but also thought about it for a while.
"Xingliu, why don't you take Tsunade and Orochimaru out for some fun?"
"Children shouldn't be expected to have too high expectations."
Upon hearing this good news, Tsunade first looked at Mito Uzumaki in disbelief.
After receiving her affirmation, Tsunade exclaimed happily:
"Long live Grandma, she's the best!"
Then, she couldn't wait to jump off her seat, run to Uchiha Seiryu, and look at him expectantly with bright, sparkling eyes.
Tsunade is already cute, and now she's deliberately acting cute.
The Uchiha Starflow simply couldn't withstand it.
He also felt that he had been too strict with Tsunade these past few days, so it would be good to let her play around a bit.
Then he spoke:
"Then what do you want to play?"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade blurted out without thinking:
"I want to bet, I want to bet two rounds!"
This left him and Mito Uzumaki speechless.
Neither of them liked Tsunade's love of gambling.
Fortunately, Uchiha Seiryu had made long-term preparations. Even if he couldn't change her ways, he would at least make Tsunade go from being a compulsive gambler to playing in moderation.
Tsunade actually knew that they didn't like her gambling, so she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Just as she was about to change her mind and play a different game, Uchiha Seiryu actually agreed.
"Alright, since Orochimaru is here today, I'll show you a new kind of gambling game that three people can play."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade was overjoyed; she truly hadn't expected Uchiha Seiryu to agree.
As for Mito Uzumaki, she's seen it all.
One glance was enough to tell that Uchiha Seiryu was planning to trick Tsunade again.
"Okay, it's settled then, let's go."
After speaking, Tsunade took the lead, while Uchiha Seiryu and Orochimaru lagged behind.
Uchiha Seiryu quietly approached Orochimaru and said:
"Don't ask any questions yet. Wait a while and you'll be the landlord first. Then, when there are bets, you won't be the landlord anymore."
Orochimaru didn't quite understand, but he still agreed to the request.
At this moment, Tsunade stopped and looked at them with a puzzled expression.
"Are you two discussing something?"
Uchiha Seiryu laughed and said:
"What a joke, with your luck, what do you need to discuss?"
"I just think it would be better not to gamble anything this time, otherwise it would be too unfair to you."
Tsunade couldn't stand this kind of provocation. Just as she was about to retort, she remembered the scene of losing to Uchiha Seiryu.
For a moment, I was caught in a dilemma.
Uchiha Seiryu knew that the previous experience would make Tsunade hesitate, so this time he planned to change his approach.
Even if Tsunade has incredibly bad luck, she can still win at games like Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
Seeing a glimmer of hope for winning, she would start suggesting games of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) with stakes.
Then it will be time to harvest Tsunade, this "leek" (a metaphor for exploitation).
Therefore, Uchiha Seiryu spoke up:
"We're playing a new kind of game, so let's not gamble anything from the start."
"Once you're familiar with it, you can decide whether to gamble or not, how about that?"
This time, Tsunade agreed without hesitation.
They arrived at Uchiha Seiryu's room, where he took out a deck of cards that he had prepared beforehand.
After the rules and gameplay were explained, they started playing.
Just as Uchiha Seiryu had predicted, Orochimaru began to rob the landlord as he had instructed.
Although he was affected by Tsunade's terrible luck, which caused him to lose more than he won, he still managed to win a few times.
This greatly excited Tsunade, who rarely won at gambling.
She was like a lamb caught in a spider's web, unaware of the approaching danger.
Little did they know that they had reached the edge of a cliff, and one wrong step would leave them covered in bruises.
Completely oblivious to her own limitations, she started placing bets and boldly declared that she would win back everything she had lost.
As planned, Orochimaru then stopped robbing the landlord.
Tsunade, however, became arrogant and acted like the landlord, then fell silent more and more each time.
And so, half an hour later, Tsunade, her flames completely extinguished, collapsed onto the ground.
Chapter 37 The smile will not disappear, it will only move
Tsunade, who had been silent, pushed the cards in her hand away.
If she hasn't realized she's been tricked for another 300 days, then she's really too foolish.
She is not deeply poisoned yet, or rather, she has not experienced that much pain.
So once the initial excitement wore off, they realized they had been tricked.
Moreover, based on the previous situation, it's clear that she can't renege on her promise this time either.
In an instant, the mask of pain was placed on Tsunade's face.
The smile doesn’t disappear, it just shifts.
