Amidst the billowing dust, the Five-Tailed Beast let out a high-pitched, mournful cry.

Near a mountain stream about two kilometers from the battlefield, several men wearing headbands from the Tangren Village also heard the sound.

"What, what is that?"

……

"It looks like a volcanic eruption."

"No way... Our Land of Yuno has a volcano?"

"Go and see?"

"It should be in the southwest, not far from here."

"Hey, are you guys out of your minds? You just won a lot of money from those fat sheep, I don't want to die before I can spend it all."

"Coward. He just went to see what happened."

"Stop talking, let's go."

After making their decision, the ninjas from Yugakure immediately headed towards Mugetsu. However, a few minutes later, what they saw was a scene they would never forget.

On the scorched earth shrouded in dark red lava, a gigantic beast lay convulsing on the ground, being relentlessly devoured by a black dragon. The entire scene was like being in hell, utterly terrifying.

The black dragon ate incredibly fast. In just a moment, it devoured the beast completely, and then its two blood-red eyes stared directly at the people of Tangren Village.

grunt.

Everyone involuntarily swallowed hard. Being stared at by the dragon's eyes filled them with a deep-seated fear. Several even knelt down, repeatedly kowtowing. "God, Dragon God, spare our lives!" "We, we didn't mean to come here!" "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!"

As if sensing the people's piety, the black dragon vanished in a flash, transforming into a thick black mist that instantly gathered. Then, a handsome boy dressed in white appeared before them, a faint smile on his face.

"Hey. Forgiving you isn't impossible. I'm looking for someone, and if you can provide me with useful information, I'll spare you on behalf of the Dragon God."

276 Fat Sheep Halo

The Land of Hot Springs is the only country in the ninja world that claims to have "forgotten war." After the Second Shinobi World War, the Hot Spring Village, which was originally a "battle ninja village," gradually shrank, and the number of ninjas was reduced to less than one-tenth.

However, thanks to its beautiful natural environment and tourism resources, it has gained recognition throughout the changing times. Even during the Three Kingdoms period, when the major ninja villages were constantly at war, this place remained relatively peaceful, giving it a sense of a secluded paradise.

In the heart of the Land of Hot Springs lies a very famous hot spring town. Countless hot spring pools of all sizes are there, and even during times of war, it remained bustling with activity.

Of course, this hot spring town isn't just about soaking in hot springs. There are plenty of other leisure and entertainment venues as well, such as geisha teahouses, massage parlors, and open-air stages where people can sing.

However, the most popular places were undoubtedly the bustling casinos. These casinos were filled with all sorts of people from all over the country. You could even see some ninjas from other villages dressed in ninja uniforms and wearing headbands. And the other people in the casinos seemed quite used to it.

Even if two ninjas from opposing villages encountered each other during wartime, they rarely did anything out of line. This must be some kind of unwritten rule. And very few people would deliberately break this rule.

Perhaps it was precisely because she was attracted by this sacred place where she could escape worldly concerns that Tsunade brought her two little followers here.

Her appearance caused a stir in all the gambling dens in Tangren Village. Because of her status as a "fat sheep," she was practically known throughout the gambling world as the "cash cow."

To put it bluntly, before Tsunade spent all the money she somehow acquired, she was the most popular customer at various casinos. She spent money like water, and always lost at gambling!

"Teacher, this is all we have left." Kurenai Yuhi said, carrying a suitcase, her face full of worry. "If we lose all of this... we'll be sleeping on the streets and eating dirt tonight!"

“Yes, Lady Tsunade.” Shizune, who was holding a piglet in her arms, frowned and said, “Do you know how much debt we have right now? Please be more careful when you gamble.”

"Hey, do you guys really have that little faith in me?" Tsunade said, clearly annoyed, turning her face away. "I have a feeling we'll win today! And we'll win back everything we lost before!"

"This is the fifty-sixth time you've said this," Kurenai Yuhi said, her lips twitching. "If this continues, all the dowry will be lost."

"Do you still need a dowry?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, "Anyway, I'm going to marry my own brother. We're family, so there's no need to worry about that."

"Who, who wants to marry that womanizer?" Kurenai Yuhi blushed instantly, her words betraying her true feelings.

The news of his engagement to Miyu in the Land of Fire was no secret. Moreover, when they corresponded, Mugetsu would often share anecdotes about him and his other female friends. Even though no explicit romantic details were mentioned, Kurenai Yuhi astutely picked up on the key points.

This guy, he really did make a move on other girls when they weren't around! He's absolutely wicked!

"You're fickle?" Shizune was slightly taken aback, then shook her head. "Although I did consider that, I still feel a little uneasy."

"Well, well. Since you chose him, you should understand that you have to bear these consequences." Tsunade seemed quite indifferent to this, saying without turning her head. "However, if I see that guy, he will still have to be punished..." As she spoke, she calmly took the suitcase from Kurenai Yuhi's hand and quickly exchanged the cash inside for chips.

"Teacher! You've changed them all again!"

"Well, well. Don't worry, we won't lose."

"Oh no, Hong. I feel like I'm really going to be eating dirt today."

"What can I do? I'm desperate too!"

Tsunade ignored the two women. After exchanging the chips, she went straight to a dice table. With great confidence, she placed her bets on three, four, and five. Then, she raised her fair, alabaster-white arm, propped it up on her cheek, and looked completely calm and composed.

Putting everything else aside, her demeanor alone exudes a "I'm the God of Gamblers" aura. In fact, from the moment she sat down, the outcome of this bet was practically a foregone conclusion. Whatever she bet on, she was destined to lose. There was absolutely no doubt about that.

Forget about luck or skill; those things vanished the moment she made her move! The aura of "Big Fat Sheep" is just that strong! Powerful enough to crush everything!

Opposite Tsunade, two young men wearing headbands from the Hidden Hot Spring Village seemed to have been waiting for her. Whatever she bet on, they would do the opposite.

Tsunade naturally saw them too, her brow furrowing slightly as she felt a strange sense of familiarity. However, she didn't dwell on it at the moment, as there were more important matters to attend to.

The dealer opened the dice cup. Sure enough, the two idiots won.

"Ah, we won."

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a fat sheep, exactly as rumored."

These two guys were extremely rude. Winning wasn't enough; they had to resort to such blatant mockery. It was utterly unacceptable.

277 Special Bets

Even Tsunade, who already knew her "name," frowned and her expression darkened slightly at this moment. Being so openly used as a beacon of light would probably anger anyone.

However, she managed to control herself well, took a deep breath, and continued placing her bet. Seeing this, the two men opposite her immediately reversed their previous actions.

Then, the ending was exactly the same as the first game.

"Wow, we won again."

"Hehehe. We'll use the money we win to soak in every hot spring later."

"Ugh, I hate it. Who wants to go to the hot springs with you?"

Wow, a gay guy?!

Watching the two male ninjas flirting before her, Tsunade felt a chill run down her spine. She involuntarily rubbed her arms. How disgusting!

"Teacher, shall we stop here?"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade. These two are clearly bullying you."

Shizune and Kurenai clearly saw through the scheme and stepped forward to dissuade them. Most importantly, they were also disgusted by these two ninja.

"I'm not leaving! Why should I leave!" Tsunade clearly wouldn't listen to reason and directly confronted them. She refused to believe that fate was so unfair? Were these two gay guys always luckier than her?

In fact, she was right. Heaven was indeed "favoring" her; after experiencing twelve consecutive defeats, Tsunade could no longer face her fate.

"We won again."

"Yes, we won again."

The two thugs had lost their earlier excitement. Or rather, they had become bored with winning money.

But it was precisely because of this that Tsunade became even angrier, and she slammed her fist on the table with a "bang".

"Um, is this the end for us?"

"Yeah, I think so too. Look, her face has turned green."

"People say that getting angry often is bad for your skin."

"Hey, Sister Fatty, please don't be angry."

Fat Sheep Sister?!

A vein bulged on Tsunade's forehead. This ridiculous title filled her with a deep sense of shame. In a moment of impulsiveness, she threw all her chips onto the table. "Unleash your ultimate!"

"Teacher! Let's not play like this anymore."

"Lady Tsunade, you should think twice!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

Tsunade clearly had no intention of ending things there, her face stubborn as she declared, "This time, I'm going to win!"

"Wow, that's quite impressive."

"But when it comes to gambling, you can't just rely on bravado. Let's keep betting on small."

Tang Ren's two companions continued their sarcastic taunts, while simultaneously placing their chips in the "small" category (one, two, three). Their previous interaction had also aroused the attention of the others around them. Seeing this, they followed suit, each placing their chips in the "small" category.

"Open!" Tsunade shouted with great energy.

The dealer jumped, quickly shaking the dice cup. Then, he opened the lid. One, two, three, low!

Indeed, miracles don't exist in this world. Dark-skinned Africans will never be able to illegally cross into Europe.

"How...how could this be?" Tsunade's face was full of frustration, revealing an expression of being rejected by the world.

"I lost everything..."

"It's over, it's all over now."

Shizune and Kurenai were also ashen-faced. Tonight, they were really going to be eating dirt.

The other winners, including the two thugs, were all beaming with joy. Their mouths were stretched into wide, almost like flowers in bloom.

Against this stark backdrop, Tsunade slowly stood up and left her seat without saying a word.

"Wait." At this moment, the tall, thin Tang Ren suddenly called out to her. "This plump lady, I can give you another chance. Do you want to win?"

"What do you mean?" Tsunade frowned and stared at him coldly.

“Hmm. It’s like this… We can gamble again, just one more time.” The tall, thin ninja smiled. “If you win, you can take all this money.” He took out a money pouch from his ninja tool bag, opened it gently, and it was full of shimmering gold leaves.

"What if I lose?" Tsunade's expression changed, but she pretended to be unmoved as she asked.

"We'll have to ask you to come with us. 120." Another short, stout Tang Ren's eyes flashed with a lewd glint.

Hmph! So that's what you're thinking?

Although Tsunade loved gambling, she was incredibly shrewd and had a sharp eye. She instantly read his mind, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Alright, let's begin. I'll continue betting on big."

“Then let’s still bet on small, let’s open it,” the two ninjas said in unison.

Then, unsurprisingly, the match ended in Tsunade's complete defeat.
