Chapter 202: Lost Everything! The Fat Sheep's Rage!
Inside the gambling house, the noise was deafening.
One woman's voice stood out above all others.
"Open it! Open it! Small! Small! Small…"
The woman had long, pale-gold hair and a distinctive diamond-shaped mark on her forehead. She looked young and beautiful, with smooth, fair, and delicate skin.
Her figure was even more explosive.
Beside her stood a black-haired young girl who looked restless, clutching a small pig in her arms.
"Four-five-six, fifteen points—big! Haha, you lost again! Pay up!"
"Aaah!! I wanted to bet big!"
The beautiful woman shook her head in regret, full of frustration.
At that moment, the young girl beside her couldn't help but remind her again:
"Lady Tsunade, please… please stop gambling…"
"If you keep going like this, our money might…"
Shizune worriedly warned Tsunade.
But Tsunade completely ignored her. Instead, she doubled down and dumped all the cash from several boxes she had brought onto the table.
"Again!"
"This time I'm going to win it all back! I'm still betting small!!"
"Shizune, don't stop me! Just stand there and watch how I win all this guy's money!"
Tsunade rolled up her sleeves confidently, revealing a pair of fair, jade-like arms.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune's face changed dramatically.
Meanwhile, the gambling house owner and the dice roller both showed expressions of wild joy.
"Hahahaha, alright! Let's settle this in one roll!"
"No reneging if you lose, okay?"
"I'm going to take every last coin you have!"
The man said greedily, his eyes fixed on the several large boxes of money on the table.
"Shut up and open it already!"
Tsunade waved her hand impatiently and took a big swig from the wine jug beside her.
The dealer stopped wasting words and immediately began shaking the dice.
As the dice tumbled and bounced inside the cup, both sides' expressions became extremely serious—even a little tense.
Sweat beads appeared on both Tsunade's and her opponent's cheeks.
This roll was worth over a hundred million ryō.
No matter who lost, it would hurt—very, very badly.
Clack!
The dice cup slammed onto the table.
The dice inside were still spinning.
Tsunade, her opponent, the surrounding gamblers, and even the little pig in Shizune's arms—all stared fixedly at the dice cup on the table.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath, completely focused.
"Gulp…"
The dealer's hand trembled slightly as he reached for the dice cup.
Tsunade's hand, which had been lifting the wine jug to her mouth, also froze in mid-air.
Time seemed to slow down infinitely.
Finally, the dealer's hand touched the dice cup.
The result was about to be revealed.
But at that exact moment, several figures suddenly burst in and surrounded Tsunade and Shizune.
"Lady Tsunade, we are from…"
The leader started to introduce themselves. Their sudden appearance caught Tsunade's attention, and she looked up at them.
However, right at that moment, the dealer lifted the dice cup.
"Five-five-five—Triple! House wins!"
"Hahahaha… Fat sheep, you lost!"
The dealer triumphantly revealed the dice cup—it was a triple, a house sweep.
The gambling house owner was already grinning from ear to ear.
The surrounding gamblers all looked dejected. Tsunade's pupils contracted sharply as she turned back to the dealer:
"That doesn't count!"
"I got distracted just now and didn't see you open the cup!!"
"Do it again!"
Tsunade waved her hand grandly, clearly unhappy.
She had indeed been distracted by the words of these Kirigakure ANBU.
So she wasn't sure whether the dealer had cheated when opening the cup.
That was understandable.
But the other side refused.
"What? You lost and now you want to renege? We agreed earlier—no reneging if you lose!"
"Did we? When did I ever say that?"
Tsunade looked at Shizune.
"Lady Tsunade… you…"
Shizune looked at Tsunade helplessly and shook her head:
"You did agree to it…"
Shizune looked miserable.
This time, Lady Tsunade had lost every last coin she had.
Seeing Shizune's dejected look, Tsunade said nothing more.
She picked up the wine jug, stood up casually, and turned to walk out of the gambling house.
Behind her came the loud laughter of the dealer and the owner.
"Lady Tsunade… where… where are you going!!"
Shizune saw that Tsunade's expression was off and hurriedly chased after her. As she left, she subconsciously glanced at the Kirigakure ANBU.
But like Tsunade, she paid them no real attention.
The Kirigakure ANBU exchanged glances and immediately followed them out.
Once outside, they saw Tsunade standing in the middle of the road. She tilted her head back and drank every last drop from the wine jug.
Then—crack!
Tsunade viciously crushed the wine jug into pieces:
"Damn it!"
She ground her teeth, seething with anger.
Immediately after, Tsunade spun around and glared at the Kirigakure ANBU with gritted teeth:
"It's all because of you bastards!"
"You suddenly barged in and ruined my concentration! I didn't even get to see clearly if that guy was cheating!"
"Damn it…"
The angrier Tsunade became, the tighter she clenched her fists.
"Lady Tsunade…"
Shizune, who had followed Tsunade since she was young, immediately recognized the look on her face. She knew Tsunade was about to explode.
At a time like this, she didn't dare try to stop her. After giving one warning that had no effect, Shizune immediately ran to a safe distance.
"Lady Tsunade, we are here to—"
"You lot are here to die, aren't you?!"
Tsunade hated nothing more than someone interrupting her when she was at her happiest, most excited, and most critical moment at the gambling table.
Even Jiraiya or Orochimaru—those bastards—would never dare disturb her at such a time.
Yet these clueless ANBU had the audacity to ruin her fun!
At this moment, Tsunade's rage had reached its peak.
After speaking, she suddenly stomped the ground.
BOOM BOOM BOOM…
Her monstrous strength erupted. In an instant, the entire ground shattered, cracks spreading toward the Kirigakure ANBU opposite her.
At the same time, Tsunade herself had already disappeared.
"So fast!!"
The leading Kirigakure ANBU squad captain saw Tsunade vanish and immediately sensed danger. He instinctively reached for the short sword on his back.
But at that moment, a figure flashed in front of him like a ghost. Tsunade appeared right before his eyes, and a fist packed with terrifying monstrous strength slammed toward him.
Bang!
Caught completely off guard, the opponent was sent flying by Tsunade's punch.
Tsunade didn't stop for even a moment. She continued attacking the remaining enemies.
