This Naruto is too easily persuaded.

Chapter 94 Tsunade

Tanbata Street, the largest casino.

A suffocating silence hung over a gambling game that had been watched by a crowd.

Da, da, da.

Long, slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, each sound like a heavy hammer blow to the dealer's heart.

"Gurgle."

The dealer swallowed hard, his eyes bloodshot.

Even though the air conditioning was on, cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.

His hands were trembling violently, and he could barely hold the dice cup.

Lost.

We lost again.

This is the ninth consecutive game.

The blond boy sitting opposite him was wearing a specially designed silk shirt and dark sunglasses.

He simply leaned back lazily in his chair, casually toying with a red chip in his hand, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.

In front of the boy, the chips had already piled up into a small mountain.

"What's wrong?"

Naruto tilted his head slightly, looked into the eyes of the dealer who looked troubled, and quietly used the Soul Stealing Technique.

"Your hands are shaking—are you scared?"

"Or is it that—this casino has run out of money to pay out?"

Naruto's voice was calm and gentle, but to the dealer it sounded like the whisper of a demon.

"No, no, that's not true! This time—the bet's on!"

The dealer gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

As a veteran who had been in the business for over a decade, he decided to give it his all.

His fingers had already secretly gripped the tiny mechanism at the bottom; pressing it would forcefully change the points.

Die, you brat! I'm going to wipe out everyone this round!

However, just as his finger was about to touch the mechanism...

It was as if an invisible energy had pierced his brain.

The dealer felt dizzy and his fingers twitched violently; he couldn't press the button no matter what he tried.

"Open—open—"

The gamblers started shouting.

He could only desperately lift the dice cup.

"Three sixes, a leopard."

Naruto didn't even glance at it, his tone indifferent.

"I got them all right."

Whoosh!

The onlookers, mostly gamblers, gasped in amazement and groans.

The bookmakers lost terribly, and the retail investors who followed them also lost everything.

The monitoring room on the second floor of the casino.

An elderly man with a wrinkled face stared intently at the screen, his cigar crushed to pieces in his hand.

"This kid is too weird."

A fierce glint flashed in the old man's eyes.

"Go investigate and see which family's young master he is. If he doesn't have any connections—"

He made a throat-slitting gesture to his bodyguard.

Just as the atmosphere around the gambling table reached its most tense point.

boom--!

The casino's heavy doors were kicked open with a loud bang.

"Haha! The weather's great today! I feel like my luck has turned!"

A bold and energetic female voice instantly broke the deathly silence in the room.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

A woman with golden twin ponytails and a voluptuous figure strode aggressively toward them.

Behind her followed a female assistant holding a pink pig, looking worried, and carrying a large suitcase.

The moment they saw this woman, the croupier, the boss, and even the gamblers around them who had been grieving for their parents all lit up with joy, as if they had seen a living bodhisattva who had saved them from suffering.

"That is—"

"The legendary fat sheep!"

"Great! We're saved! As long as she's there, we're sure to turn things around!"

The previously oppressive atmosphere vanished instantly, and the casino erupted in cheers.

Tsunade didn't care about the way others looked at her as a "cash cow"; all she could think about right now was slaughtering everyone in her path.

She boldly pushed through the crowd and plopped down in the most conspicuous spot, opposite Naruto.

"Hey, kid."

Tsunade glanced at the mountain of chips piled up in front of Naruto, a glint of shrewdness in her eyes: "Not bad luck! Looks like you're the biggest banker tonight?"

"Want to make a big bet with me?"

Naruto pushed up his sunglasses, looked at the vibrant woman in front of him, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

He could clearly sense that the killing intent hidden in the casino subsided slightly the moment Tsunade entered.

It seems the boss wants to fleece the fat sheep first, and then deal with himself.

"Why not?"

Naruto gestured to Kabuto behind him to push the chips toward the center.

"Since he is such a renowned senior, I will play along to the end."

"Great! That felt good!"

Tsunade slammed all the chips she had just exchanged onto the table with an air of grandeur.

"Mute! Don't look so gloomy! If we win this round, we'll go out for a big meal!"

Shizune, on the verge of tears, cried out, "Lady Tsunade—this is truly our last bit of money—"

The betting begins.

This bet circulated in Tanabata Street for a long time afterward.

Because it ended too quickly and too tragically.

Thirty minutes, just thirty minutes.

The once bustling casino fell into a deathly silence once more.

It's even worse than before.

Tsunade slumped blankly in her chair, staring at the bare table in front of her with lifeless eyes.

Forget about making a comeback, she even lost her dinner money.

The gamblers around him who wanted to join Naruto in getting some soup were not spared either.

Because Naruto manipulates the odds while making large bets, he ensures that both the bookmaker and retail investors lose money, while he alone consistently wins.

"This—this is impossible—"

Tsunade, her hand trembling, pointed at Naruto: "You—you absolutely cheated! How could anyone win thirty games in a row?!"

Naruto stood up and asked Kabuto behind him to cash in the chips.

"So-called luck is nothing but an excuse for the weak."

【Ding! 】

[Mission: Gamble to Get Rich, Completed]

[Obtained C-Rank Treasure Chest 1]

Hearing the notification in his head, Naruto straightened his clothes and turned to walk off the field.

"Um—this young master—"

The casino manager, his face covered in cold sweat, approached with a forced smile, trying to stall for time.

"No need to deliver it."

Naruto didn't even turn his head.

After saying that, he and Dou disappeared into the twilight at the doorway.

After a while.

In the dark alley outside the casino.

Tsunade stormed out, cursing, and slammed her fist into the wall, creating a large crater: "What bad luck! That brat is definitely up to something!"

"Mute, let's go after them—huh?"

Tsunade and Shizune suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Because they saw the boy who had won all their money standing quietly at the end of the dead end.

At his feet, seven or eight burly men lay sprawled out, groaning in pain.

These people are thugs for the casino.

But that's not the worst part.

Most terrifyingly, several ninjas wearing Sound Ninja headbands silently emerged from the shadows.

They skillfully stuffed several burly men into specially made bags, their movements so practiced it was chilling.

"Naruto-sama, these materials—"

A Sound Ninja asked respectfully.

Naruto waved his hand expressionlessly.

"Although his aptitude is a bit lacking, he has the advantage of being physically strong."

"Take it back to base."

"Since I've already released all the old test subjects, I'll use them as new test subjects and make good use of them."

"Remember, from now on, only use enemies as test subjects; don't go around capturing people indiscriminately."

"yes!"

"Oh, and pack up their boss too."

The Sound Ninja quickly carried the materials away, leaving not even a trace of blood behind.

Tsunade, who witnessed the whole thing, frowned deeply.

This cold-blooded behavior instinctively reminded her of her old classmate whom she loathed—Orochimaru.

Meanwhile, Shizune stared intently at Naruto's profile.

Suddenly, Naruto's face overlapped in her mind with the portrait in the newspaper.

Silent pupils instantly contracted to pinpoints, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze.
