Land of Fire's Capital, this is a prosperous big city second only to Konoha!
Hot spring, barbecue shops, taverns, Ninja Tool shop… Everything Konoha has, the Land of Fire's Capital has too. What Konoha doesn't have, the Land of Fire's Capital still has!
For example... gambling halls!
Since Minato banned gambling, all the large and small gambling halls in Konoha have closed down. No, it's not correct to say they closed, rather, they all moved to the Land of Fire's Capital!
The former number one gambling hall in Konoha, Chrysanthemum Gambling House, has now become the number one gambling hall in the Land of Fire's Capital!
After completing the mission commission with Naruto and Karin in a week, Kanpū brought them to this bustling city to broaden their horizons!
On this day, Kanpū, wearing a windbreaker, toad sunglasses, a toothpick in his mouth, a scarf, and with his hands in his pockets, walked in with a fierce aura, as if a classic BGM from a certain drama was echoing in the air.
Behind Kanpū, Naruto, who dressed almost exactly like him, also strode forward with his blonde hair.
At the very back was Karin, covering her face. As she walked, she stomped her feet: "Big brother, Naruto, do we really have to come to this kind of place?"
"Karin, don't underestimate this gambling house!"
Kanpū said without looking back, "This is the largest gambling house in the Land of Fire, with daily cash flow in the billions. One day, when we pluck the wool... cough, what I mean is, the existence of such gambling houses is simply anti-human, anti-social, and they might be shut down at any time. So, it's necessary for me to bring you here to see the ugly face of a gambling house! So that you won't regret it in the future."
"Kanpū-sensei is absolutely right!" Naruto flattered shamelessly, then swiftly pulled out a toad wallet and started counting his money.
Kanpū glanced back and said: "Naruto, tonight's expenses are covered by Master Moonlight!"
'Who is Master Moonlight?'
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood and reached out for the money.
Kanpū opened the bulging wallet and, with a delicate touch, pulled out two 10,000 Ryo bills, "One for each of you, go have fun o."
"Only 10,000?" Naruto complained dissatisfiedly.
Although he is only Genin and the reward from his mission is mediocre, his family is rich. The toad wallet in his pocket alone has more than 50,000!
'10,000?'
'Hmph, is Kanpū-sensei sending a beggar!'
Naruto was dissatisfied.
"It doesn't matter if you don't." Kanpū made a gesture to take it back.
Naruto quickly snatch it and said: "10,000 is 10,000, hehe."
He then pulled Karin over and found a gambling table to experience life.
Kanpū wandered around, his blue eyes skimmed across each face, but unfortunately, he didn't find the person he was looking for.
'The information of the black market is too trashy…' Kanpū circled around and suddenly noticed a private VIP room in a corner passage, 'Well, well… It must be the place used to slaughter fat sheep!'
Kanpū couldn't tolerate it and righteously stormed in.
When the guards at the entrance saw him, they quickly approached him… then welcomed him.
It can't be helped, as Kanpū was wearing his Shinobi forehead protector at this time. Although the guards were in this line of work, they didn't dare to fight Konoha's Shinobi... mainly because they couldn't win.
Entering the VIP room, Kanpū scanned around and quickly found his target, a gambler wearing a green coat and a golden hair. There was also word 'gamble' arrogantly engraved on the back of her clothes!
'The information of the black market is still pretty reliable…' Kanpū smiled as he walked over.
At this moment, Tsunade was facing one of the most critical choices of her life!
Big or small?
Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and her right hand, poised to grab money, trembled slightly, wavering between the 'big' and 'small' bets on the gambling table. Hesitation, uncertainty, unease, and a desperate gamble all flashed in her eyes.
Around Tsunade, the eyes of seven or eight gamblers followed the movements of her right hand.
The gambling hall's owner was sweating bullets at this time. While it was easy to make money off this legendary big spender, the other gamblers were as sharp as monkeys. They always bet against this big spender and caused the owner significant losses!
"Tsunade-sama." Kanpū approached from behind.
"Who?" Tsunade turned her head abruptly, and her suspicious eyes sized up Kanpū. She had a vague impression of him but couldn't recall the specifics.
However, this didn't stop her from denying her identity.
"You've got the wrong person. I'm not Tsunade; my name is Tsunaji." Tsunade said with a straight face.
Kanpū instinctively retorted: "Why not just call yourself Tsunaba?"
Tsunade's brow furrowed when she heard this.
Kanpū quickly changed the subject: "Tsunade-sama, I'm here seeking medical treatment."
"I told you, you've got the wrong person. Get lost! Don't interrupt my gambling!" Tsunade said brusquely.
"Yeah, yeah, we're all waiting for her betting. Even if you're a Konoha's Shinobi, you have to follow the gambling hall's rules." One of the gamblers next to Tsunade spoke up in her defense, though his tone lacked confidence.
"Tsunade-sama, I can pay you a substantial medical fee!" Kanpū decided to let money do the talking.
Tsunade, who was about to lose her temper, immediately changed her expression: "How much?"
In recent decades, her luck had been terrible, and she had losed all the money she earned from her Shinobi Career. Later, she borrowed money to try to win it back but still lost them all. Thankfully, Shizune had covered for her, but even Shizune's purse was empty now.
Life was tough for her!
Tsunade had to continue borrowing money for gambling while hiding her identity to evade debt collectors. Shizune secretly treated people to earn small amounts of money during their escape. Their life was impoverished to the point where Tsunade hadn't even changed her clothes in decades!
It was just too hard!
Tsunade's eyes lit up as she looked at Kanpū.
Kanpū said: "That, one million?"
Tsunade immediately returned to before: "Get lost!"
'One million?'
'I can lose tens of millions in one game, and you're offering one million?'
'Are you treating me as a beggar?!'
Tsunade waved her hand: "You've got the wrong person!"
"Ten million!" Kanpū decisively added.
Tsunade frowned.
"Twenty million!" Hanfeng continued to add.
Tsunade crossed her legs, her foot tapping impatiently.
"Thirty million!" Kanpū feigned anger, "This is the highest price I can offer! If you don't agree …"
"Since you're so sincere, I accept your request." Tsunade slammed her hand on the gambling table. With her immense strength, the table instantly fell apart.
"Tsunade, what are you doing?! Losing money and causing trouble, you're not welcome here, you... get out!" The gambling hall's owner immediately took the opportunity to kick Tsunade out, fearing that other gamblers would continue to win money off her.
Tsunade didn't get angry. She stuffed her remaining money into her pocket and took Kanpū out.
"Naruto, Karin, let's go." Kanpū called out at the door.
"Big brother." Karin walked out empty-handed, clearly having lost her entire ten thousand ryo.
"Kanpū-sensei, I'm rich!!" Naruto ran out excitedly, and the toad wallet in his hand nearly bursting with cash!
Tsunade's eyes turned red when she saw this, 'We're both blond, so why is this little brat so lucky?'
Kanpū quickly took his share, dividing Naruto's winnings in half, but unfortunately, it was only three million.
'I regret showing off to Kanpū-sensei.'
Naruto's eyes welled up with tears.
"Who do you need to save?" Tsunade shifted her gaze from Naruto's wallet to Kanpū.
"My younger brother. His bones were shattered, and it's quite serious." Hanfeng said.
"Bone injuries are a bit troublesome." Tsunade frowned deeply, looking solemnly at Kanpū.
Kanpū was taken aback.
'No way, Lee's crushed leg bones in the original work can be cured, you…you are…'
Kanpū suddenly realized, 'She wants more money?!'
Kanpū's face twitched, "Forty million?"
"Deal!" Tsunade said, with her hands on her hips, "I'll stay here for a day. Bring your younger brother over."
After leaving an address, Tsunade walked away coolly.
"Big brother, , is she the legendary ninja who can save second brother?" Karin realized afterwards.
Kanpū nodded, and said: "Naruto, Karin, follow her. I'll be right back."
With that said, Kanpū immediately activated Sage Mode, and disappeared with a swish after he went 'online'.
