章節 96: Chapter 95 » I Guess Playtime Is Over! Curing the Hemophobia!
Tsunade strode in with a determined gait, ignoring everyone around her. The 200,000 Ryo in banknotes fluttered conspicuously in her hand.
"Whoa... That woman... her appearance..."
"And those distinctive features — it's... it's her!"
In the gambling den, all the gamblers simultaneously stopped what they were doing and focused their gaze on her.
"What are you looking at? Have none of you ever seen a woman before?" Tsunade approached the central gambling table and suddenly slammed her hand down.
BANG!
The thunderous sound instantly jolted everyone back to their senses.
Although the golden slave collar around her neck restricted her chakra, it didn't mean she had none left. Moreover, her physical prowess was no weaker than a jonin's!
If these people truly angered her, with one punch, she could still easily kill them all!
"Hehehe... This lady must be the famous Princess Tsunade we've heard so much about in our gambling circles, right?"
Tsunade not only held the title of one of the Legendary Sannin, but in gambling circles, she had an even more notorious title!
That is: The Legendary Sucker!
Because she always lost when gambling! To this day, she had never once left a gambling den with money. Now, encountering The Legendary Sucker Tsunade here, it seemed the gambling den was in for a big profit tonight!
"Hmph! Enough chit-chat!" Tsunade snorted coldly, "I don't have much money on me today. Only 200,000. But that's enough for me to win all your money. Hurry up! Let's begin!"
She eyed the dice cup on the table, her hands already itching with anticipation.
"Alright, alright! Come on! Clear the table for Lady Tsunade." The gambling den owner immediately broke into a gleeful smile.
Though 200,000 wasn't much, with her, where there's one, there's bound to be two! If she loses, she'll find a way to win it back. This 200,000 was just the beginning!
Rattle! Rattle! Rattle!
Tsunade was now shaking the dice cup in her hand!
The game was three dice, comparing for the highest roll. Simple and easy to get hooked on.
"Three sixes! Three sixes! I'm willing to trade three years of Yūsuke's life for three sixes!" She shook the dice cup vigorously.
Then with a thud, she slammed it down on the table in front of her. At this moment, the gambling den owner opposite her opened his dice cup first.
"Three fives. Hahahaha! It's your turn, Lady Tsunade." The owner laughed heartily.
"What are you so smug about!" Seeing his complacent expression, Tsunade was instantly infuriated!
She then directly lifted her own dice cup. As soon as she saw the result, she was dumbfounded.
"Three ones... Puhahahaha!! My apologies, Lady Tsunade! I'll be taking those 50,000 Ryo now." The gambling den owner burst into laughter!
The surrounding gamblers crowded around. They had long heard of Tsunade, the legendary sucker. Now, they finally got to see her in action.
"Damn it!" Tsunade gritted her teeth, glaring at her opponent as if she wanted to devour him. Seething with anger, she spat, "Again! I don't believe this!"
She snatched up the dice cup and began shaking it vigorously.
Thud! Thud!
The dice cups slammed down on the table.
"Three fours!" The den owner announced as he lifted his cup.
Tsunade opened her dice cup. Her face fell — three ones again.
"I don't believe this! Once more!" She roared, rage boiling over.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Yusuke entered the gambling den.
In four words: a den of iniquity.
Upon entering, he vowed never to associate with gambling or drugs in this lifetime.
"Hahaha! Tsunade, you've lost again! Oh my, my! I wonder how much money you have left? If you're out of money, you can't play anymore."
The central gambling table bustled with activity.
Yusuke immediately spotted Tsunade, her brows furrowed, intently staring at the dice cup before her. To her left, only a few banknotes remained.
Well... She had squandered his entire thick stack of banknotes.
'This woman. You come to squander my wallet. I'll come to squander you.' Yusuke raised an eyebrow and approached.
At that moment, Tsunade opened the dice cup: three twos! Unfortunately, the den owner opposite her had three threes.
Watching the banknotes on her table dwindle to just one, her blood pressure nearly skyrocketed!
"Why is my luck so terrible? I even used eighty years of that Yusuke guy's life to exchange for my luck." She gritted her teeth, reluctantly eyeing the last banknote.
Then, just as she raised her hand to throw down the last banknote, a clear smack sound rang out.
The sound of a slap was unmistakable — and it was directly on her ass! Tsunade's face immediately flushed crimson.
"Ah...!! Which shameless man dares to slap me?!" She whirled around, gesticulating wildly, ferociously preparing to grab the offender.
But in the next second, her eyes, full of fury, suddenly widened in recognition.
"Ah... Yusuke... it's you... Aren't you — ahem — weren't you already asleep?" Tsunade took a step back, guilt washing over her. She couldn't meet his gaze.
"My dear Tsunade... Using eighty years of my life to exchange for your luck, huh?" Yusuke couldn't help but chuckle, despite his anger. A smile played on his lips as he regarded her.
"Ah haha... Well, um... I was joking, just joking..." She looked like a child caught red-handed, her voice dripping with guilt.
"From your eyes and tone just now, I didn't sense any joking at all." He said, his face impassive.
Tsunade lowered her head, resembling a girl who'd done something terribly wrong. Inwardly, she muttered, 'This guy... he actually discovered it... It's over...'
At this moment, the gambling den owner frowned and interjected, "Hey, hey, hey. Tsunade, and whoever you are. Are you still playing or not? If not, then leave this place!"
Yusuke's gaze flicked from the den owner to the lone banknote on the table, then back to Tsunade. She felt her face burning hot. In less than five minutes, she'd reduced 200,000 ryo to a mere 1,000...
"Play? Of course we'll play. After all, my maid has lost so much money. As her master, I naturally have to win it back." He settled into the chair before him, then turned his head and ordered Tsunade: "Massage my shoulders."
"You...!" Her face flushed crimson.
He had the audacity to call her his maid and declare himself her master in front of others!
"Hurry up!" Yusuke's voice carried a sharp edge, his tone brooking no argument.
Tsunade sensed the anger simmering beneath his words. She muttered, her voice barely above a whisper:
"Alright... I understand."
She stepped forward and began gently kneading his shoulders.
'Consider this the price for spending your money.' Tsunade consoled herself.
"Excellent, let's begin!" The gambling den owner said dismissively, "Come on, then, pick the game."
Yusuke surveyed the game options before announcing, "We'll play cards."
With his X-ray vision, card games were like playing with an open hand.
"Very well." The den owner chuckled as he dealt the cards.
Yusuke's gaze fell on the lone banknote on the table. He couldn't help but marvel at Tsunade's prowess for burning through money.
This wasn't entertainment — it was sheer wastefulness. She had blown 200,000 in a mere five minutes. It was fortunate he'd only brought this much. Otherwise, no matter the sum, she'd have found a way to squander it all in moments.
First round, Yusuke won. The money doubled. Second round, he won again. The money doubled once more. Third round, fourth, fifth…
This wasn't just luck — it was blatant cheating!
No matter how the opponent tried to hide their cards — behind their back, covered with their hands, or even concealed under the dice cup — nothing could stop Yusuke's victorious streak. In just over twenty minutes, his funds had soared from the initial 1,000 Ryo to 1,000,000.
Tsunade's eyes now gleamed with excitement! Her gaze towards him had completely changed!
'This man... how can he be so good?!' She thought, amazed.
"No way! Let's change the game! Play something else!" The den owner said, his face dark with frustration.
"Fine, whatever you want." Yusuke replied, leaning back in his chair, relaxed.
Subsequently, the den owner forcibly went through all types of games. Yet Yusuke won all the money in the entire gambling den.
A total of over 30,000,000 Ryo! It lay neatly arranged on the gambling table in front of him.
"Hahahahaha! Where's that arrogance you all had earlier? Show it now! Hahaha..." Tsunade, hugging a stack of money, was overjoyed!
She had won! Tsunade had never been so happy before. This wasn't just a victory; it was a monumental victory!
"Tsunade, they've already surrounded us. I can't believe you're still laughing." Yusuke said, shaking his head in disbelief.
Had this woman lost all reason at the sight of money?
"Huh?" She blinked, suddenly aware of her surroundings.
It dawned on her that for the past ten minutes, the number of patrons had been steadily dwindling.
"I don't want to make this difficult. Take your initial 200,000 and leave!" The den owner growled, his tone icy.
It was painfully obvious — this gambling den was the sort that showered you with incentives when you lost, but would gladly break your legs if you won too much. What else could one expect from such an establishment?
"Are you out of your mind? All of this money is rightfully ours!" Tsunade snapped, her nostrils flaring.
"Well, if that's the case..." The owner's voice dripped with menace.
However, before he could finish, Yusuke stood up from his chair, a smile on his face.
"Well, I guess playtime is over." He cracked his neck and his entire posture became much more threatening, "Now get out of my sight."
As his voice echoed through the place, a palpable killing intent attacked the minds of the people remaining there. They were all the owner's bodyguards, and they would suffer along with him.
"AAH!" The owner screamed as he clutched his head, the throbbing endless. This was his mind informing him that there was such a great danger in front of him that he could be erased from existence in the next second.
As everyone knelt down, groaning and screaming in pain, one of the bodyguards actually managed to stand up. His large build and sharp gaze showed that he had already killed his fair share of lucky customers.
"Die!" Carrying a large knife, he ran towards Yusuke and swung the blade!
And then...
Break!
Contrary to everything he had ever imagined, the knife that should have pierced the man in front of him was actually easily caught by him, and then broken with a squeeze of his fist!
Bang!
Without even having time to feel more fear, the bodyguard's body was hit by Yusuke's punch! Like a rag doll, he was thrown towards the wall and exploded, his head completely deformed and leaking blood everywhere!
The shock and horror of the scene made the owner and everyone else even more terrified.
They finally realized they had messed with the wrong person!
As they trembled in horror, Yusuke slowly turned his gaze towards Tsunade.
At this moment, she had already been stunned by the corpse of the bodyguard on the wall. Especially all that blood. It immediately triggered her hemophobia.
At this moment, she was plunged into immense suffering.
Yusuke put all the money into a space scroll, then approached Tsunade. She was now clutching her head, her hair disheveled.
"Blood... it's all blood... Ah...!!"
He then delivered a swift chop, instantly knocking her unconscious. Then, he hoisted her over his shoulder, slowly walking towards the door.
But before he left completely, his eyes turned cold as he turned his face and looked at all those men.
Vibration Release: Gurash — Quake Break!
"Fall."
With just one word, an intense wave of tremors suddenly surged towards all of them. The brains inside their heads buzzed like crazy until they suffered multiple fatal injuries. Tables and chairs also flew in all directions, and the foundation of the place began to shake.
And the moment Yusuke stepped outside, the entire place collapsed. Without looking back, he continued walking towards the inn.
Two minutes later. Inside the inn.
Yusuke put the still convulsing Tsunade onto the bed.
"Hemophobia..." Looking at her, who had fallen into the throes of hemophobia, he clicked his tongue. Going directly to the system's shop, he bought a medicine while complaining, "Tsk, This woman only brings me expenses. Does she think I'm her husband or something?"
The night passed without incident.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
The next morning.
Tsunade slowly awakened from her dream.
She had experienced a strange vision during the night; she was drowning in a sea of blood when suddenly, a pair of hands appeared before her, pulling her to safety. Just as she was about to see her rescuer's face clearly, she woke up.
Opening her eyes, she found Yusuke standing there, holding a cup of water.
'How could I have dreamed about him?' Tsunade thought, her brows furrowing.
"Awake?" Yusuke asked, handing over the cup. With a mischievous smile, he added, "Let me guess — you dreamed about me? With that expression, it's either that or you need to use the bathroom —"
"Yusuke!" Tsunade exclaimed, her blood pressure instantly skyrocketing.
[ Ding! Congratulations, host has obtained: 20,000 Villain Points! ]
What a high-strung woman... What had he said? At least he gained something from it.
Last night, exchanging the potion to cure hemophobia cost ten thousand points. He still profited by ten thousand.
When Tsunade took the cup and saw the thick "blood" inside, her eyes widened in fear!
"Hey!! Yusuke! You did this on purpose, didn't you! You clearly know I'm afraid —" But as she spoke, she suddenly realized something. Looking at the fake blood in the cup, she thought she was going crazy.
She's not afraid anymore?! Her body isn't shaking either?!
"Looks like it's cured." Yusuke stretched, "Alright, since you're fine now, get up quickly. We're going to Konoha."
He was already gathering his things and putting his tool pouch in his back pocket when he had a thought.
"I'm curious, since you have hemophobia, what do you do during that time of the month?" He asked with a smirk.
"!!!" Tsunade gritted her teeth, fuming, "None of your business!!"
Yusuke nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, right. I almost forgot about Shizune. I get it now. No wonder you always take her with you wherever you go. So that's how it is."
"You!!" Her cheeks instantly turned bright red. She hadn't expected him to guess correctly in one go, "Go to hell!!"
[ Ding! Tsunade is extremely embarrassed and furious right now! Congratulations, host has obtained: 10,000 evil value points! ]
His face still wore that victorious smile, even as she angrily pouted and told him to stop.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Half an hour later, in the sky above Konohagakure.
Yusuke looked down at the Leaf Village below. His powerful sensory abilities instantly permeated its entirety! After about ten seconds, he locked onto Orochimaru's location.
Then, he flew off directly!
