Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Because that enormous box was just too eye-catching.

Qingwu sat at the gambling table, casually spinning the dice with his fingertips, his peripheral vision already taking in the farce unfolding at the door.

As Tsunade approached, her eyes remained fixed on the large box, much like Kakuzu had been before.

Of course, the difference is that she wanted to win money through gambling, while Kakuzu's was more direct greed.

Unfortunately, the gambling table was already packed with people, and Tsunade couldn't use her ninja abilities to participate in the game for the time being.

Qingwu watched, a subtle smile playing on his lips. Without pausing, he pulled out a wad of banknotes and slammed them onto the gambling table with a "thud," shouting, "Ten thousand taels, bet on small!"

The surrounding gamblers immediately erupted in an uproar, discussing his extravagant spending, daring to place such a large bet without even rolling the dice.

Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she couldn't resist touching the dice cup.

The dealer shouted and excitedly shook the dice, finally stopping—it was big!

"I lost!" The dealer smiled as he collected the 100,000 taels of silver. A chorus of regretful sighs rose from the crowd, wishing they hadn't been the dealer this time.

Tsunade, too, couldn't help but move closer, her eyes lingering on the viewer.

Unexpectedly, Qingwu pretended to slap his thigh in annoyance, then casually picked up the large box and said, "Damn it! That's enough for today, I'm done playing."

As he spoke, he made a move to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Tsunade could no longer hold back.

She was already itching to gamble, and seeing Qingwu's lavish spending—losing 100,000 taels in one go without a care, and carrying a heavy box—she was clearly a "fat sheep."

If we let him go, where else can we find such a good opportunity to "recover"?

Chapter 154 Tsunade at the Top

"and many more!"

Tsunade stepped forward, her tone urgent yet forcing a calm demeanor as she advised:

"Why are you stopping? It's still so early. When it comes to gambling, luck can change in the blink of an eye. You never know when your luck might come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gamblers around him chimed in.

"Yeah, how can someone be so unlucky as to keep losing?"

"Sir, don't bet so much at once. Take your time and enjoy the game a little longer."

"I disagree. What's a loss of 100,000 taels to a young man with his wealth? He might win it back double in the next round."

"That's right, that's right, everyone's having a great time."

The gamblers each had their own agendas, but Qingwu was the "protagonist." If he left, what was the point of playing tonight?

Tsunade moved closer to the gambling table, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the box in Qingwu's hand, her tone becoming more urgent:

"Look what everyone's saying, why don't we try playing a couple more rounds? I'll join too!"

As she spoke, she turned around and ordered, "Mute!"

Jingyin reluctantly handed over the small cloth bag. In public, she had to save face for the adults and dared not argue.

However… Shizune looked at the young man who had just lost 100,000 taels of silver and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

Qingwu frowned, feigning hesitation, and weighed the box in his hand, a hint of wavering on his face:

"But I'm really unlucky today. If I keep playing, I'm afraid I'll lose all the money in the box."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding gamblers began to offer their own advice.

Tsunade's eyes darted around, and she stepped aside to let me have some fun. "Come on, little brother, squeeze in with me. Let's play together. Maybe you can get some of my good luck!"

Shizune, standing behind him, nearly dropped her jaw, thinking to herself: "As expected, even Lady Tsunade has no bottom line when it comes to gambling."

Some of the gamblers around recognized Tsunade at this moment, "Hahaha, she's lucky?"

"This is the funniest joke I've heard all year."

"Fat--"

boom! !

With a loud bang, Tsunade slammed her hand on the gambling table, effectively shutting the man down.

He immediately turned and urged, "Let's start quickly. Who's going to be the host? How about I take the lead?"

She secretly gave herself a thumbs up.

Taking advantage of the chaos, I finally got to sit at the gambling table without any problem.

Qingwu found it amusing, but on the surface he still pretended to be helpless and hesitant, carrying his box and squeezing sideways onto a bench with Tsunade.

The two were very close, and he could smell Tsunade's faint fragrance.

He deliberately placed the box between the two of them, lightly touching the edge of the box with his fingertips, and said casually, "Since this beautiful lady is so confident, then I'll share some of your good luck."

The word "good luck" was emphasized by Qingwu.

Tsunade coughed slightly, a little awkwardly. "Don't worry, don't worry, with me here, we're guaranteed to win! Dealer, hurry up and roll the dice!"

Shizune stood to the side, rubbing her forehead with a look of utter despair, silently praying: "I hope this big spender won't turn on Lady Tsunade later."

The betting game has started again.

Shizune realized she was overthinking things... Lady Tsunade is too cunning.

She waited for Qingwu to finish placing her bet before quickly taking out a wad of cash from her small cloth bag and placing it on the opposite side.

Qingwu: "..."

Mute: "..."

Tsunade pretended not to see the two people's glances and just urged the dealer to hurry up and start.

However, Shizune clearly noticed that Tsunade's ears... turned red.

Qingwu casually moved closer to Tsunade and gestured for the dealer to start the dice.

He didn't use any special methods.

Of course, I didn't intentionally lose; I just wanted to see... whether this famous "fat sheep" lived up to his name.

...The outcome of the bet was a foregone conclusion!

Tsunade's luck was off the charts throughout the game, yet she precisely timed her losses every single time, leaving Qingwu in awe.

Thanks to her, and because he had been losing all along, most gamblers were betting against him.

In the following games, Qingwu managed to recover a significant amount of health.

"big!"

Seeing that Qingwu had bet on "small" again, Tsunade, not believing in bad luck, bet on "large" again.

Jingyin grew anxious, "Sir, we've had three consecutive low scores."

Tsunade raised her hand to stop Shizune from continuing, staring intently at the dice cup.

But when the dice were opened, they still showed the smallest possible number.

Tsunade's face instantly fell.

"what's the situation?"

"How did he win so many games in a row?"

The gamblers were also blinded by their losses.

Qingwu sat to the side, barely saying a word, just casually placing bets.

Tsunade's eyes darted around, and she turned her head and laughed, "Kid, I told you so, didn't I? Your luck will immediately improve as soon as you sit with me."

As she spoke, she changed her strategy this time and bet on the small number with Qingwu.

The gamblers looked at each other in bewilderment, and then followed suit.

Looking at the huge pile of chips and coins in front of him, Qingwu was speechless. "Even if I win like this, I won't get much money to go around."

The dealer shook the dice cup with a long face; if he lost this round, he would have to pay out a lot of money.

However, when the results came out, the bookmaker jumped up in excitement.

Qingwu was convinced.

Whenever Tsunade placed a bet, she never won; no one else's "luck" could beat hers.

Tsunade herself was dumbfounded, but her gambling addiction made her completely oblivious to everything else.

Glancing at her empty little bag, Tsunade turned back with a forced smile, "Shizune, look..."

"Sir, we're out of money!" Shizune's expression turned cold.

He respected Lady Tsunade greatly, but he also knew very well that if he didn't stick to his principles at this time, Lady Tsunade would keep losing endlessly.

"Mistake, that was a mistake. I'll definitely win the next time."

Tsunade anxiously tried to appease Shizune.

Jingyin simply closed her eyes and said, "We really have no money left. We've even gambled away all our travel expenses."

Tsunade's eyes darted around again, suddenly fixing on the large box. She moved closer to Qingwu, her tone unusually gentle:

"If you have any spare cash in this box, why don't you lend me some as principal?"

Jingyin quickly opened her eyes and said, "Sir, we still have gambling debts to pay off, please don't—"

Tsunade raised her hand to interrupt Shizune and continued to Qingwu:

"I'll lend you your initial capital. You don't need to gamble; just relax on the sidelines. If you win, I'll give you three... or forty percent, how about that?"

Qingwu looked at Tsunade and thought to himself: Is this woman such a compulsive gambler?!

As for the 30% or 40% percentage, if you can't win, giving you 100% is just empty talk.

"And what if you lose?" Qingwu raised an eyebrow.

Tsunade patted her chest, a surge of emotion welling up within her, and said confidently, "My reputation is still guaranteed. If I lose... I'll repay you double in the future."

Shizune stood to the side, her brows furrowed even more, and tugged at Tsunade's sleeve, her voice extremely low:
