Soon they reached the inn, the two debt collectors(Senta, Bunzou)went inside and came back with a tall man wearing a green dress, the man was for and had black eyes which were deceptive. He raised his voice as talked.
Kurosuke: Tsunade san are you sure you want to gamble with me. Remember you lost the last gamble with my brother Akagi Shuuhoro.
Tsunade(Scarlet): Oh that, I am actually willingly donating the money by losing the game. Do you really think that a person's luck could be so bad that they would lose every single gamble?
Kurosuke thinks ' What she said is indeed logical but with her current reputation as legendary sucker we cannot trust her so easily'
The other gamblers nearby laugh inwardly as they knew how bad was Tsunade at gambling.
Kurosuke: Fine then Tsunade san, we shall play billiards then, as for the amount for the gamble you decide it.
Tsunade(Scarlet) was amused by his choice, she says.
Tsunade(Scarlet): Since I owe you a 10 million, let us double that amount and play for 20 million.
Kurosuke thinks inwardly ' So I will get 30 million today. Being able to get money from the legendary sucker, my fame in clan definitely rise.'
Scarlet and Kurosuke arrive at the billiard board while Naruto, Shizune and Tonton(pig) spectate the match.
Kurosuke: We are going to play for 300 points, I will take a yellow colour ball, you will be playing with the white colour ball then.
Tsunade(Scarlet): Sure.
Tsunade(Scarlet) sees the position of the balls on. the table and memorises them.
Both of them simultaneously hit their cue ball to the length of the table, which hit the cushion and return back towards them. Tsunade(Scarlet) gets the cue ball nearest to the baulk cushion at the end.
Tsunade(Scarlet): Looks like I was lucky, I will break off first.
Tsunade(Scarlet) goes near the board and plays the ball.
In-off!
Pot!
Cannon!
In-off!
Tsunade(Scarlet) scored 10 points in the first try, but the comic thing was she kept her eyes closed when she played the ball.
Naruto: Grandma Tsunade, Why did you close your eyes dattebayo?
Tsunade(Scarlet): It is a gamble Naruto, so I decided to leave it on luck.
inwardly thinking' I already memorised the position of balls Naru chan, too bad I can't tell you right now '
Scarlet did not want to scare him too much in order to get more money from him. So she played the game in such a way that she was just slightly above Kurosuke.
In the end, Tsunade(Scarlet) reached 300 points first and won the match.
The other gamblers present there were shocked that Tsunade managed to win the match. Soon they spread the news to other players and soonest the gambling community got to know that Tsunade actually won a gamble!
Kurosuke face blackened when he thought of the 20 million he was losing.
Seeing his face Tsunade(Scarlet)felt happy as she said
Tsunade(Scarlet): Hey since you are so unwilling I will give you a chance. We shall play another match if I lose I will return you the 30 million if you lose you will just give me 10 million.
Kurosuke thinks 'Huh 30 million doesn't this mean that she will give me the money she owed (10 million )and the 20 million which I will now give to her back to me. Even though I am not going to have any profits it's better than suffering loses, she is the legendary sucker it was just a fluke that she one the previous match ' thinking like this he soon got more confident.
Tsunade(Scarlet) and Kurosuke went for the second game.
Tsunade(Scarlet) once again got to break off first.
This time Scarlet played modestly to make sure that Kurosuke doesn't lose his spirit, she was maintaining the same points as that of Kurosuke, Kurosuke repeatedly tried to cross her but always failed.
Suddenly Scarlet felt a huge familiar Chakra approaching, Scarlet mutters
Tsunade(Scarlet): Looks like I need to finish it off now.
Kurosuke felt Tsunade's aura change suddenly. Till now she played very lazily with her eyes closed most of the time, she played like the game didn't matter to her at all but suddenly her aura became sharp, she was very serious now. He felt that the Sleeping beast has awoken now.
Tsunade(Scarlet) stretched her hand and hit her cue ball, points were raining for her continuously.
Kurosuke finally remembered what Tsunade(Scarlet) before and muttered.
Kurosuke: Now I understand how you managed to lose every single gamble, having this level of skill, of course, you can easily control the outcome of the match.
Many other gamblers heard these words muttered by Kurosuke and quickly spread about it to others.
Tsunade(Scarlet) reached 300 points and quickly took Naruto, Shizune and Kurosuke out of the gambling den when they suddenly met Tsunade and Jurochou.
Tsunade: What the hell is going on here? I didn't expect you to be involved in this too Scarlet.
Scarlet who was disguised as Tsunade dissipates her transformation.
Naruto: Nee-chan!!!
Scarlet grins as she says.
Scarlet: Aunt Tsunade, hope you had a good day.
Jurochou: Aren't you the brother of Akane Shuuhoro and you two are his subordinates Senta and Bunzou right, all of you come with me I have a message for you.
Later we went to Jurochou's house. Shizune then explained how she received a message that she had to pay the debt from the Akagi clan and how she met Scarlet.
Tsunade: But I already paid my debt last year when I was near Akagi.
Shizune: Sorry Tsunade sama, I forgot about it.
Jurochou took out a letter and said.
Jurochou: I will now read the part which is for you.
"To Senta and Bunzou
The debt has already been paid, you may return back.
Akagi Shuuhoro."
At first, both of them felt happy that they could go back home then felt bad that Kurosuke had to lose 30 million because of it.
Tsunade: So what's with the rumours about me that I am an elite gambler who always loses because I want to donate money and that I play pig to eat the tiger. What the hell did you guys do?
Shizune then explained how Scarlet took her place and won 30 million.
Tsunade immediately hugged Scarlet and said.
Tsunade: You are really my lucky angel Scarlet. Now let me see who dares to ridicule me in gambling.
Tsunade asked Kurosuke for 30 million but he said that he did not have money so he had to write an IOU.
Kurosuke did not dare to act rashly because of the presence of Jurochou.
We returned to the inn and packed our luggage to return to the village. Tsunade was in a very good mood as it was the first time someone else owed her money instead of her owing to others.
Scarlet: Aunt Tsunade, where is the pervy sage?
Tsunade: You are right we completely forgot about him. Don't worry he will come back after he peeps enough.
All of them continued to move towards Konoha.
