Chapter 126, Hedging Risk.

"What do you know? Just watch."

Tsunade glanced at Raijin disdainfully and slapped the banknotes on the table.

"Small!"

"Yes, yes, yes, would the gambling god like a cup of juice?"

Raijin was holding two cups of iced watermelon juice in his hand and asked Tsunade.

"Um."

Tsunade took the fruit juice from Raijin's hand and leaned directly on Raijin.

Raijin, on the other hand, held Tsunade very skillfully.

At the same time, the heart net silently activated, and Raijin's eyes were firmly fixed on the dealer's hand.

In fact, this simple game, there is no such thing as a mechanism, it is generally through the technique and the collision of the dice to shake out the points they want.

So, just need to observe carefully, you can find the rules.

For an ordinary person, this may take several years or even decades of practice, but for a ninja, it is very simple.

Especially the existence of the heart net, even the slightest difference in sound can be clearly distinguished.

It's just that the characteristics of the Sharingan are too obvious, otherwise, anyone can learn this craft.

And just at this moment, the dice cup opened.

"Two three four, small!"

Upon seeing this, Tsunade was immediately overjoyed and couldn't help but elbow Raijin in the chest.

"Look! I won!"

"Great!"

Raijin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Tsunade's mood was completely controlled by others now.

At the beginning, they lost first, at this time people often don't care, after all, just starting, definitely more for fun.

And in the second game, deliberately let people win, at this time, the joy of regaining what was lost will make people get carried away in an instant.

And later, if nothing unexpected happens, they can win a few more times in a row.

Sure enough, the following Tsunade was like a gambling god possessed, winning battle after battle.

At this time, Tsunade, just looking at the smile on her face, you can tell, she was completely carried away.

And with the continuous winning of money, the bets Tsunade placed unknowingly became bigger and bigger.

Until...

"Big! Big! Big!"

Tsunade was shouting loudly next to Raijin, her mood was completely taken away by the dice cup.

"One, two, four—small."

As the dice cup opened, Tsunade's smile froze instantly. She could only watch as her chips, which had once belonged to her, were taken by the dealer and distributed to the winner.

At this moment, Tsunade realized that she had placed an unexpectedly large bet. But a determination to turn the tables began to rise within her.

Gritting her teeth, Tsunade pushed all her remaining chips forward.

And just then, Raijin swiftly retrieved one of the chips from the scattered pile, like lightning.

"How about leaving one for me?" Raijin asked.

As Raijin's words fell, the chips Tsunade had thrown landed securely in the small betting area.

"Sure," Tsunade nodded. It was just one chip, after all.

After all, these chips were all exchanged by Raijin.

Observing Tsunade's intense focus, Raijin couldn't help but smile. He could roughly tell that Tsunade was in a tight spot.

Raijin placed one of his chips in the 'big' betting area.

Tsunade looked at Raijin. "Do you think it's big?"

"How would I know? You bet small, so I'll bet big. Either way, we'll still have fun, right?" Raijin replied with a playful expression.

In reality, based on the dealer's recent actions, Raijin could reasonably assume that it was indeed 'big.' However, he didn't hesitate to share a risk-hedging theory with Tsunade.

"Is that so?" 

Tsunade nodded, realizing there was another approach.

"Why not?" Raijin chuckled, and they both watched as the dice cup was opened.

"Three, five, six—big!" After the dealer rolled the dice, Raijin placed all his winnings in the 'big' area.

Tsunade, now without any chips, didn't ask Raijin for more. She didn't even bother exchanging chips. Instead, she silently observed Raijin's moves.

Two hours later, a mountain of chips stood before Raijin, drawing astonished glances from onlookers.

Tsunade stared in disbelief. Was Raijin really this lucky?

But perhaps there was more to it.

"Are you hungry? Let's grab something to eat," Raijin suggested, handing Tsunade a bag full of chips.

Tsunade accepted it, still puzzled. Together, they exchanged the chips for cash.

Splitting the initial chips into two portions, they started with only 500,000 ryo. After two hours of intense play, they had multiplied it fortyfold, reaching an astonishing 20 million ryo.

Well, this method certainly earned money faster than completing missions.

But quick money came with its own troubles.

Raijin held a sack of money in one hand and tightly grasped Tsunade's hand with the other.

Tsunade, momentarily surprised, followed Raijin into a maze-like alley.

"Release the Transformation Jutsu."

Raijin instructed Tsunade.

"Alright." Tsunade complied, trusting Raijin despite not understanding his motives.

Setting everything else aside, Tsunade still trusted Raijin.

Raijin swiftly pulled out a scroll and sealed all the money inside.

After securing the scroll, Raijin undid the Transformation Jutsu. At this moment, even without trying, he could hear the chaotic footsteps.

Suddenly, Raijin hugged Tsunade, twisted his body, and pressed Tsunade against the wall. Without saying a word, he kissed her directly.

"Hey!"

Just as the two of them started kissing, a rough voice sounded behind Raijin.

Upon hearing this, Raijin turned around and looked impatiently at the newcomer, a guy with a full beard and a face full of flesh.

The bearded man was about to ask something, but when he saw the forehead protector on Raijin's forehead, he shivered all over.

"Ninja...?"

"Any problem?"

Raijin scrutinized the bearded man in front of him and the group of subordinates holding clubs behind him.

"Bang!"

Without any visible action from Raijin, the Kusanagi Sword behind him was half-drawn from its sheath, scaring the bearded man into retreating.

"No... no problem."

The bearded man waved his hands repeatedly and carefully retreated.

"Don't move."

Raijin's face became even colder, and he took out a signal flare exclusive to the Uchiha clan from his arms.

The signal flare slowly rose into the sky, and in just a few moments, Suisei appeared with his team on the wall next to them.

"Take them away."

Suisei, looking down from above, glanced at the bearded man and waved his hand without saying a word.

A large number of people holding weapons gathered together, which was a violation of public order in Konohagakure itself.

Three members of the Konohagakure Police Force took action and took everyone back to the Konohagakure Police Force.

"Go home early."

Suisei glanced at Raijin, nodded at Tsunade, and disappeared on the spot as soon as he finished speaking.

Tsunade, who had been standing behind Raijin, was stunned.
