Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

However, his men did not act immediately, but stood still, as if waiting for something.

The leading ninja frowned, glanced back at the door, and saw a figure slowly walk in.

This person was wearing a white kimono and looked quite young, but his face exuded an indescribable nobility and majesty.

He walked up to the leader of the ninjas, whose expression changed upon seeing him:

"Sir, why are you here?"

When the man in white first entered this place, a hint of barely perceptible arrogance lingered on his face.

But when his gaze met Xingliu's, a thunderbolt seemed to flash across his eyes.

The arrogance on his face vanished in that instant, replaced by disbelief and deep fear.

A bead of cold sweat slid down his cheek, as if announcing his inner fear.

Upon hearing the leader ninja's words, his mind raced, and he slapped him hard across the face, shouting angrily:

"Who gave you permission to do things this way?"

The leading ninja covered his slapped face, looking completely bewildered as he stared at the man.

They've always handled this situation the same way before, and this time it was the same procedure, so why did he get beaten up?

"Hurry up and cash out your esteemed guests' bets, and pay them out even more, understand?"

Still not satisfied, he kicked the leading ninja twice.

Xingliu watched their performance from the sidelines, his face expressionless, revealing no emotion.

Seeing his behavior, the man in white became even more uneasy.

He was the owner behind the casino, and he had come today on a whim to check on the casino's operations.

He didn't expect to encounter someone causing trouble, so he rushed over immediately.

He didn't pay too much attention to it at first, after all, they had dealt with this situation many times before.

However, when he saw that the troublemaker was Xingliu, his mood plummeted.

He clearly remembered the Chunin Exams six years ago, that scene that resembled a natural disaster.

Although Xingliu was just a child at the time, he was deeply impressed by that face.

So the moment he saw Xingliu, he recognized who he was.

He also realized that his impulsive actions today had put him on the brink of death.

After being hit, the leading ninja realized that he might have met his match this time.

Although he was resentful that his boss didn't trust his abilities, he still instructed his subordinates to do as the boss said.

After Xingliu accepted the money, she just stared at him quietly, making him break out in a cold sweat.

Chapter 138 An Encounter with White Fang

After watching for a while, Xingliu tossed the money to Tsunade behind him and said:

"Alright, you're lucky this time. Let's go and have some fun somewhere else."

After hearing this, Nono and the others nodded in agreement.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Tsunade didn't say anything more.

This incident made her realize that she was just that unlucky.

Moreover, this incident made her see the true nature of gambling—nine out of ten gamblers lose.

Now that Tsunade no longer has those past experiences, she doesn't need to use gambling to distract herself from her pain. So, after understanding this, she has decided to stop gambling altogether.

The group then slowly walked out of the casino. The man in white watched their departing figures and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had escaped a disaster.

However, just as he felt a little comforted, the leading ninja suddenly turned into ashes without warning and disappeared into the air.

This sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.

They stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

Fear and unease spread rapidly among the crowd, and the man in white turned ashen-faced, filled with lingering fear.

He knew that this was a warning from Xingliu.

If he hadn't stopped the conflict from escalating in time, then the fate of this wisp of ashes would have been his future.

A deathly silence fell over the casino, leaving only the faint ash floating in the air and the fear and shock in people's hearts.

After leaving the casino, Xingliu and his group began to stroll around Tanabata Street.

This street is a famous entertainment street in the Land of Fire, lined with shops and offering a wide variety of goods, attracting countless tourists to visit and shop.

They walked around, stopping frequently to look at this and touch that, having a great time.

Nonou was very interested in a mask stall, picked up a fox mask and put it on, which made Tsunade laugh out loud.

Governance then took an interest in a shop selling ninja tools. He carefully selected a shuriken, weighed it in his hand, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Xingliu watched them play silently from the side, feeling a sense of peace.

After wandering around the streets for a while, they came across a famous ramen shop and decided to go in and try it.

When the ramen was served, it was steaming hot and had a wonderful aroma, which greatly increased their appetite.

They enjoyed their delicious ramen while chatting and savoring a rare moment of leisure.

Just as everyone was enjoying this wonderful time, the door of the noodle shop was gently pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in.

Sakumo Hatake walked into the ramen shop, and the lively atmosphere and fragrant food made him feel warm and cozy.

However, as his gaze swept across the crowd in the store, it suddenly settled on a familiar figure.

Xingliu and several companions were sitting around a table, chatting and laughing.

Sakumo's eyes lit up immediately. He walked straight to the table where Hoshiryu and the others were sitting, a warm smile on his face.

After ordering his food, he sat down and greeted Xingliu and the others: "What a coincidence, you're here too."

Xingliu looked up and saw that it was Sakumo, and gave him a friendly smile: "That's right, Sakumo-senpai is here too?"

"Haha, don't call me senior anymore, otherwise I'll have to call you Lord Seiryu," Sakumo joked.

Since the Chunin Exams, Sakumo Hatake's strength has gained wider recognition, and the title "White Fang" has resounded throughout the ninja world in mission after mission.

However, it is no match for Xingliu at all. Xingliu performed too well in the Chunin Exams, which is why it has been quiet for the past few years.

But anyone who saw that scene will never forget him.

Furthermore, Hoshiryu is Konoha's recognized next Hokage, so there's absolutely no problem with what Hatake Sakumo said.

Tsunade, overhearing their conversation, chuckled and interjected:

"Alright, you guys are really troublesome. Just call me by my name."

Upon hearing her words, Xingliu and Shuo Mao exchanged a smile, and then burst into laughter.

During the ensuing conversation, Xingliu learned that Baiya had come out on a mission.

However, when he heard the details of the mission, his heart was filled with tremendous turmoil.

It turns out that White Fang's mission this time was to investigate what destroyed the Grass Ninja Village.

This news shocked Xingliu.

In his memory, the Grass Ninja Village existed until the beginning of the main story.

Even if his butterfly effect was significant, it wouldn't have been enough to wipe out the Grass Ninja Village during that period.

After all, he didn't specifically target Kusagakure, and there hasn't been a large-scale war yet, so how could Kusagakure be destroyed like this?

So Xingliu couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure it was Kusagakure that was destroyed?"

Sakumo nodded, his gaze revealing a deep sense of heaviness:

"Yes, I saw the ruins of Kusagakure with my own eyes. The entire village seemed to have been destroyed instantly by a powerful force; houses collapsed, trees were broken, and it was a complete mess."

However, he stopped there and didn't reveal any more details about the mission to Xingliu.

The destruction of Kusagakure cannot be kept secret; this can be told to Hoshiryu.

But the details are part of the mission, and he certainly wouldn't tell Xingliu that so easily.

Fortunately, Xingliu was only somewhat shocked by this sudden change, not really interested.

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo didn't continue, Seiryu knew he had something to hide, so he didn't press the matter.

At that moment, Xingliu's gaze suddenly fell on the ninja tool bag on Sakumo's body, and he noticed the colorful cover peeking out from a corner.

He joked, "At your age, Sakumo Hatake should be looking for a girlfriend. You should read less of these erotic books."

Upon hearing this, Sakumo's face turned bright red. He quickly looked at his ninja tool bag and discovered that the book he had just bought was accidentally showing.

He gave an awkward laugh, quickly hid the book, and explained to Xingliu:

"This is just something I do occasionally for fun, please don't misunderstand."

Hearing this, Xingliu chuckled, thinking to himself, 'No wonder he's Kakashi's father; following in his father's footsteps is perfectly fine.'

However, at that moment, several curious gazes fell upon him.

When Xingliu turned his head, he found that Tsunade, Nono, and Zhili were all looking at him with inquiring eyes.

He couldn't laugh anymore; these girls were just too curious.

Xingliu started rambling on, trying to change the subject and dodge the question.

He told some trivial jokes and talked about some recent interesting things, which finally helped him temporarily avoid the awkward topic.

However, he failed to notice the glint in Nonou and Tsunade's eyes.

These two medical ninjas were extremely knowledgeable, possessing a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the human body than ordinary people. How could they not know about matters between men and women?

Only the governance team remained innocently curious, unaware of the deeper meaning behind the topic.

And so, a joyful atmosphere filled the crowd.
