"The first match."
"Shiranui Genma!"
"Shimojima Ryohei!"
The head examiner stood in the arena, and said loudly, "The rest go to the waiting area and wait!"
"Yes!"
The fifty-sixty people responded in unison, and then ran towards the bottom of the stand. Soon, there were only three people left in the field.
Then, the head examiner took a few steps back, leaving the stage for Genma and Ryohei.
The audiences on the stand were already excited, they are cheering and discussing incessantly. Kanpū even saw a few sneaky figures. These people were wearing uniforms and carrying a small satchel. There's chrysanthemums pattern printed on their backs, with the word gambling in the middle. At a first glance, they should be the gambling hall's staff member related to chrysanthemums.
The experienced and knowledgeable Kanpū reasoned at a glance that these guys are opening the bet.
But even if he knew that, he still has to confirm it.
He glanced at Shikuro, coughed lightly, pointed at the people in the casino and asked: "Shikuro-sensei, what are those people doing?"
"Chrysanthemum Gambling Hall is the largest gambling hall in the village. It is said that it has high-level background and has the best reputation. What? Do you want to gamble?"
Shikuro glanced at him and said in a serious tone, "I advise you not to touch that thing. There used to be a strong Shinobi in the village, and it was because of gambling that the result…"
Kanpū then said with awe-inspiring manner: "Shikuro-sensei, I'm not that kind of person!"
Then, he clutched his stomach and said, "Aiya, my stomach hurts, I'm going to find a toilet."
Shikuro shook his head when he saw this.
Kanpū ran and ran, and when he couldn't see Shikuro and the others anymore, he turned his head and looked around, found a staff member with chrysanthemums printed on his back, and moved closer.
He took out a large amount of money from his pocket, and without looking at how much, he handed it over and said: "I bet on Shiranui Genma!"
Although Genma is just an extra, he is still mentioned in the original plot, and he was, no, it should be the future, in the future, he will be the Yondaime Hokage, Minato's Guard Platoon, and he is much more reliable than the guy called Shimojima Ryohei.
"Sorry, the game has already started and no more bets will be accepted." The staff member said with a smile, "Will the guests wait for the next match?"
'The next match?'
Kanpū looked at Genma, who was fighting with Shimojima Ryohei in the arena, and felt a little uncomfortable.
There were only four people he knew in the arena. Excluding Genma, Obito and Rin looked unreliable, and only Tabako was left.
But he doesn't know if Tabako could win.
Kanpū took the money back into his pocket and walked towards Shikuro very irritably.
After the match began, more and more villagers watched, and many people left the venue. People came and went, and from time to time they would bump with Kanpū.
Kanpū is holding the money in his pocket. Although he wears a forehead protector on his head, he didn't know if thief wouldn't be scared by that, so he had to be cautious.
But halfway through, he found a familiar figure.
This is an old woman, wearing loose clothes, with dull yellow hair, muddy eyes, wrinkled face, hunched waist, and also leaning on crutches.
Kanpū recognized her immediately as the old woman he met last time on the North Hill near Senju Park!
Moreover, Kanpū has always suspected that she is a legendary sucker!
Kanpū walked over calmly and stood two meters away from her to watch the match.
Because there is a lot of people nearby, the old woman didn't pay special attention to Kanpū.
About five minutes or so, along with the loud applause, Genma in the arena finally defeated Shimojima Ryohei.
Kanpū felt that he had missed 100 million, and felt very sad.
At the same time, the head examiner called two more people to fight, one is Nakamura Yusui, and the other is Rin!
It was at this time that the old woman who was two meters from him began to act.
She reached out and grabbed a passing Chrysanthemum Gambling Hall's staff member, then took out a stack of money from her large clothes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Nakamura Yusui."
The staff member counted the money, then put it in his small satchel, and took out a special piece of paper. After that, he wrote the amount, Nakamura Yusui's name and the odds, and said enthusiastically: "Dear guest, because these both of them are civilian Shinobi, the odds are all 1:1."
"I understand."
The old woman took the paper and immediately looked at the arena again.
Kanpū was very excited at this time. He hurriedly walked over to grab the staff member and took out all the money in his pockets, and pretended to be calm: "I bet on Nohara Rin."
The staff member quickly counted the money, and then made a special "invoice" with a chrysanthemum pattern printed on the back and gave it to him.
Kanpū looked at the amount written on the paper: 301,100.
Among them, 300,000 is for being the middlemen, 1,000 is the reward for the D-Rank mission that has just been divided, and the remaining 100 is his pocket money.
After the amount, there is Nohara Rin's name, then the odds is 1:1.
When Kanpū was overwhelmed with joy, the old woman next to him actually spoke up and said in a hoarse voice: "Little brat, I believed that you are also a Shinobi. How can you be so stupid to bet on that girl? You are sure to lose."
Kanpū never expected that she would take the initiative to talk to him, so after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly said reservedly and implicitly: "I don't care about winning or losing, I'm just expressing my support for Rin! She is my friend and a very good Shinobi."
"What a pity."
The old woman snorted and said with a smile, "According to inside information, this friend of yours has already started training Medical Ninjutsu. It should be known that ordinary Medical-nin doesn't have much fighting ability."
'Inside information?'
'It must be the information she snatched from Sandaime.'
Kanpū was a little panicked, but considering this old woman's identity as the legendary sucker, he believed that Rin still has a good chance of winning.
At the same time, the old woman, Tsunade, suddenly frowned.
'Strange, why am I talking to this little brat?'
Tsunade glanced at Kanpū calmly, and inexplicably felt that this kid looked a bit familiar, of course, the most important thing was that he is pleasing to the eye.
'There are very few people who can make me feels them pleasing to the eye at a glance. The last one seems to be Kyūbi's Jinchūriki, right?'
As Tsunade thought about it, the situation in the arena had heated up.
Nakamura Yusui and Rin each held a kunai to fight, and from time to time, they used Ninjutsu. They fought so hard that they were sweating profusely. After a while, they each had several wounds on their bodies.
Seeing the blood, Tsunade hurriedly lowered her eyelids, and did not look at those things.
But at this moment, Rin lowered her head and used Healing Technique on herself, causing the scale of victory tilted towards her immediately.
Although Tsunade didn't look directly with her eyes, but from her experience, just by listening to the cheers of the onlookers, she can tell that Rin has the advantage now. At this time, her crutches were already stabbed into the hard ground.
Kanpū, who was next to her, felt his scalp was slightly numb when he saw this scene, but he was also become more sure of his guess.
Although the doubling of assets makes him feel happy, seeing through the real identity of this old woman makes Kanpū even happier.
At the same time, Rin successfully defeated Nakamura Yusui amidst the applause!
Amidst the clamor, Kanpū heard several miserable howls. Presumably, from people like Tsunade, who bet on Nakamura Yusui.
'Gambling hurts people!'
When Kanpū listened to the screams and looked at the crutch that was digging into the hard ground, he was full of emotion and couldn't help but swore in his heart: 'I will never gamble in the future!'
