The Hand of God Creates the Strongest Hidden Mist Village

Chapter 163 I Want to Make a One-on-One Bet with This Gentleman

Just like in typical fan fiction stories.

While soaking in the hot spring, you encounter Jiraiya; the memorial stone is refreshed with Kakashi.

You can find big fish in the casino!

Makoto Karatachi had always believed it was just a matter of luck and probability. Although he had encountered Tsunade at a casino long ago and copied the Yin Seal technique from her.

But after that, he never encountered it again at the casino.

If Mangetsu knew what Makoto was thinking, she would definitely have something to say about it.

No, Brother Cheng, is that a casino? You're not going to the brothels next to casinos!

Gouju Cheng's gaze was fixed on the figures at the entrance of Jinmanlou.

The woman in the lead was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She was tall and slender, with long, light yellow hair tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head. A few wisps of hair fell across her forehead, making her delicate face appear even whiter and more like jade.

She wore a tea-green Japanese-style outer robe over a dark, tight-fitting bodysuit that accentuated her stunning curves.

Even with just a fleeting glimpse, Makoto Kojiri could recognize that face.

One of the legendary Sannin, the famous "Big Fat Sheep," the granddaughter of the First Hokage, and the princess of Konoha.

Tsunade!

Behind her followed a young man named Shao'an, who had black hair and was about ten years old. He was quite young and had a small pig in his hand.

"Brother Cheng? Brother Cheng!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's voice pulled Makoto from his daze.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with that knife?"

"knife?

'

Makoto Koji snapped out of his daze and glanced at the down-on-his-luck gambler still arguing with the casino staff, and the knife in his pocket.

"We'll talk about the knife later."

Gouju Cheng withdrew his gaze, his eyes becoming deep: "Manyue, look at those people at the door."

Man Yue followed his gaze and saw Tsunade leading the black-haired girl into the casino, leaving only her graceful back view.

"That woman has such a great figure—" Man Yue instinctively wanted to compliment her, but then suddenly realized, "Wait, Makoto, you don't have a crush on her, do you? You have a fiancée! What if Terumi Mei-nee finds out—"

"Shut up!" Makoto Koji smacked him on the head impatiently. "What are you thinking! That's Tsunade!"

"Tsunade?"

Hozuki Mangetsu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened.

"Tsunade?! One of the Legendary Sannin?! The princess of Konoha?!"

"Makoto! Let's run! That's one of the Legendary Sannin! What if she recognizes us—"

"What are you afraid of?"

Gouju Cheng chuckled softly, a playful glint in his eyes.

"She's no longer a Konoha ninja; she's just a wandering gambler. Besides, Kirigakure and Konoha have made peace. I'm the Mizukage's assistant, and she's one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. We're allies now!"

"You wait here and watch that knife, don't let it get away." Makoto patted Mangetsu on the shoulder. "I'm going in to meet this legendary 'fat sheep'."

"Huh? Brother Cheng, you—"

Before Man Yue could say anything more, Gouju Cheng had already strode towards Jin Manlou, leaving him only with a dashing back view.

The full moon opened its mouth, but ultimately let out a sigh.

Forget it, when has Brother Cheng ever made a mistake?

Instead of worrying about Brother Cheng, you should take a look at this knife.

"Hey buddy, how much does he owe the casino?"

Inside Jinmanlou, the lights were bright and the place was bustling with activity.

The lobby on the first floor is as spacious as a small square, with dozens of gambling tables arranged in a neat and orderly manner, and all kinds of gambling equipment are available.

Gamblers dressed in fine clothes sat around the table, some shouting excitedly, others pounding their chests and stamping their feet, the air thick with the scent of money and desire.

After entering the room, Gouju Cheng scanned the room and quickly locked onto his target.

Tsunade was already sitting down at a gambling table with an air of authority. Behind her, a black-haired girl was holding a pink pig and standing obediently, cautiously looking around.

That girl—Kato Shizune?

It should be.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade lost everything. Not long after the war ended, she left Konoha with Kato Dan's niece, Kato Shizune. Even when the Third Shinobi World War raged to this extent, Tsunade never returned, as if she had completely severed ties with Konoha.

Makoto Kari's gaze lingered on Tsunade for a moment, a playful smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, the legendary Sannin, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, and the princess of Konoha, is staring intently at the dice cup in front of her, as if it holds some earth-shattering secret.

"Big big!"

"So tiny!"

The surrounding gamblers shouted wildly, their voices rising in waves.

The dealer lifted the dice cup: "Four, five, six, big!"

"what!"

"Haha! We won! We won!"

Tsunade's chips increased by more than half in an instant, and Shizune behind her widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"We won! We won!"

You know, after following Lady Tsunade all over the country for so many years, what she has seen most is losing everything, then losing even more miserably, and finally pawning things to continue losing.

Winning right from the start like this is simply a miracle!

Tsunade herself was also taken aback for a moment, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a rare hint of pleasure.

"Looks like I'm having a lucky day."

She casually tossed a chip to the dealer as a tip, then organized the chips in front of her and pushed them all towards Xiao's side in one go.

This action stunned everyone present. Several inexperienced gamblers hesitated before considering placing their chips in line with Tsunade's bets, which immediately drew a barrage of advice from those around them.

"Why are you betting on small numbers? This is a fat sheep, a fat sheep, don't you understand?!"

"Buy the fattest sheep, and you'll own a villa by the sea!"

"This guy just got lucky last time. He's bound to lose in the end, so bet on big!"

When Makoto Goji almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.

Buy the fat sheep in reverse, and you'll end up with a villa by the sea?

That's so true!

However, while others might not know, he was very clear that Tsunade was not an easy target. Although her luck in gambling was extremely bad, she would always lose for various reasons at crucial moments, as if she were cursed by fate.

But occasionally, he'll win a few rounds.

A few special ones.

"Place your order now!"

The dealer's voice rang out, and the dice tumbled in the cup, making a crisp clinking sound.

The surrounding gamblers placed their bets, with most choosing "big," clearly treating Tsunade as a contrarian indicator.

Tsunade remained unfazed and continued to bet on the smaller one.

The dice cup fell.

"—Three, small!"

"What?!"

"impossible!"

"The fat sheep actually won?!"

An uproar erupted around them. The gamblers who had bet against Tsunade were pounding their chests in disbelief as the dealer took away their chips.

Tsunade's bargaining chips have doubled again!

"They won again?!"

Jingyin's face turned bright red with excitement, and her hands holding Tun Tun trembled slightly.

"Lady Tsunade! We won again!"

"Hahaha, today is my lucky day! My luck has turned around!"

Tsunade took all the chips in front of her and placed them in front of her with a bold and imposing manner.

"Again!"

Another one.

Tsunade chose the big option this time, putting most of her chips on the line.

The surrounding gamblers looked at each other, unsure whether they should follow this "fat sheep" who had suddenly turned their luck around today.

"I'll go with her!"

A young gambler gritted his teeth and bet big.

After a moment's hesitation, most of the others chose the smaller option.

After all, the reputation of the fat sheep cannot be changed in just one or two games.

The dice cup is lifted.

"Four, five, six, big!"

"We won again!"

Tsunade's chips doubled again, and in just a few rounds, a small mountain had been piled up in front of her.

The gamblers around her were all red-eyed. Some slapped their thighs in frustration, while others had already started secretly placing bets on Tsunade.

"Hey fat sheep, are you fucking open?!"

"Yeah, yeah, how come I'm so lucky today? It can't be!"

"Even if you're a sucker, you can't cheat!"

"Snapped!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the gambling table: "I'm just lucky today, what's wrong with that? If you're not happy, come and gamble!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but her domineering aura instantly silenced the noisy gamblers around her.

Casino regulars know that although this legendary big fat sheep always loses, his status and strength are not something that small fry like them can afford to offend, so it is indeed impossible for him to cheat.

Especially since this is Daming Prefecture!

"Lady Tsunade was amazing today!"

Jingyin muttered softly, and the little pig in her arms made two "poof" sounds, seemingly in agreement.

"Exactly! Back when I was a casino tycoon, you guys were probably still playing in the mud somewhere!"

"Keep going, I'm betting on low!"

Tsunade was in a great mood and, unusually, said a few more words.

Everyone present looked at each other, unsure of what to bet on.

After much hesitation, many people ultimately decided to place their bets on smaller stakes, hoping to catch a big fish in the sea.

After all, today's easy prey was truly astounding. Could it be that our luck has finally turned around?!

"Place your order now!"

The dealer's voice rang out again, and the dice tumbled and collided in the cup, making a crisp sound.

This time, over 80% of the gamblers chose to bet on Tsunade to bet on "small".

The remaining 20% ​​hesitated and did not choose to follow suit.

Tsunade looked at the mountain of chips piled up in front of her, and the smile on her lips became even more pronounced.

"You guys have good judgment; you'll be winning today—"

I'm betting big.

A slightly lazy young male voice suddenly rang out beside Tsunade.

Immediately afterwards, a golden ticket was dropped into the "large" box.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways.

He was a young man, around twenty years old, with a handsome face and a tall, upright figure. He wore a finely crafted dark blue kimono, with a decorative short sword at his waist, and his every move exuded a lazy and casual air.

Who else could it be but Gouju Cheng?

"Young man, you have a lot of courage."

Tsunade looked at him with a half-smile, her light brown eyes gleaming with amusement under the light.

"Dare to go against me?"

Makoto Koji smiled slightly, stood by the gambling table, and met Tsunade's gaze calmly.

"Luck is something that always ebbs and flows."

"You've won three games in a row. Statistically speaking, the probability of winning the next one should be lower, right?"

"Probability theory?"

Tsunade chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

"I've never believed in probabilities. Gambling is gambling; you win or you lose. Why all the fuss?"

"Your Excellency is right."

Gouju nodded, his tone still unhurried.

"However, I've always liked going against the grain. When everyone else is betting on small, I want to try big. What if I win?"

'

The gamblers around looked at each other, some whispering among themselves.

"Who is this young man, daring to go against such a fat sheep?"

"I don't know, he looks unfamiliar, maybe he's from out of town."

"Even people from out of town don't have to be so desperate. Fatty's luck has clearly turned around today!"

"Exactly! Follow the lead of the 'fat sheep' and bet on 'small,' it's a sure win!"

The dealer glanced to both sides, then at the restless gamblers around him, and coughed lightly.

"Place your bets now! Anyone else want to place a bet?"

I'm betting on "small"!

"I'm betting on small too!"

"Follow the fat sheep!"

The surrounding gamblers all placed their bets, unanimously choosing "small".

Only Makoto Goji was alone, betting big.

The atmosphere at the gambling table became subtle.

Tsunade looked at Makoto Karatachi with great interest, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment, as if trying to discern something.

But Makoto Koji's expression remained unchanged, and he even gave her a friendly smile.

"Are you staring at me because you think I'm too handsome?"

"1

"puff."

Jingyin couldn't help but almost burst out laughing, and quickly covered her mouth, her little face turning bright red.

Tsunade was also taken aback for a moment, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"Interesting. I haven't seen such a outspoken young man in a long time."

"Open it!"

Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, the dealer took a deep breath and reached out to lift the dice cup.

Three dice lay quietly at the bottom of the bowl.

"Two, two, five—nine o'clock, big!"

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

"H-How is this possible?!"

"The fat sheep lost?!"

"This kid won?!"

The surrounding gamblers stared wide-eyed at the three dice, then at the lone ticket in front of Makoto Goji, their faces filled with absurdity.

Tsunade's smile froze.

She stared at the three dice for several seconds, her expression one of astonishment.

"Truly a big fat sheep, buying the fat sheep and ending up with a villa by the sea, that's absolutely right~"

Gouju Cheng laughed heartily, pointing to the ticket number: "Hurry up and give me the money! Looks like today's my lucky day!"

The surrounding gamblers seemed to wake from a dream and began to wail in despair.

"My money!"

"I should have never followed that easy target!"

"What incredible luck this kid has!"

With a wry smile, the dealer pushed the chips in front of Gouju Cheng, then collected the chips from the other gamblers, his feelings a mix of emotions.

Gouju Cheng's ticket looks like a flimsy piece of paper, but it is a cash withdrawal ticket used by the Damingfu Bank and is extremely valuable. It can be said that this young customer won the equivalent of ten bets by an ordinary gambler in one go, and that's even when everyone else bet against him.

This luck is just unbelievable.

Makoto Koji casually picked up a chip, twirled it between his fingers, and tossed it to the dealer. Then, he looked at Tsunade with a half-smile.

"Keep going, fat sheep, don't delay my money-making."

"You little brat—"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and looked Makoto Kuraki up and down.

Those light brown eyes gleamed dangerously under the casino lights, like an enraged lioness scrutinizing her prey that dared to challenge her.

"Keep going, I'm betting on under again this time!"

The betting continues.

Looking at Tsunade's bets, Makoto Koji casually placed all his bets on the big side.

However, the other gamblers around them dared not do anything reckless.

They couldn't figure out Goujucheng's background, and the fact that today's easy target was hard to predict made them hesitant to place bets recklessly.

Unexpectedly, in the next few rounds, Tsunade kept making the same bets but never played any of them, losing all the money in her bank account. Meanwhile, Makoto Kotachi's initial stake of around 100,000 yen ballooned to over 6 million yen in just a few rounds!

More than six million!

The chips piled up in front of Gouju Cheng gleamed enticingly in the dim lights of the casino, resembling a small mountain.

The surrounding gamblers' eyes turned red, their gazes fixed on the chips with a mixture of greed and apprehension, and they all placed their bets!

"Lost again?"

Tsunade stared at the chips that the dealer had taken away again, her eyes twitching slightly.

The pile of chips in front of her, which was originally as big as a small mountain, had shrunk to almost a third.

The chips in front of the young man opposite him were piled up to the point of overflowing, estimated to be at least seven or eight million taels.

"Thank you for your concession."

Gouju Cheng smiled and cupped his hands in a salute, his expression as utterly infuriating as could be.

"Lady Tsunade truly lives up to her reputation as a legendary fat sheep. Following your lead and buying the opposite way has indeed resulted in a villa by the sea."

"you!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and was about to get up.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Shizune quickly tugged at her sleeve from behind and whispered, "Calm down, Lady Tsunade. This is a gambling den in Daimyo Prefecture. If things get out of hand—"

"snort!"

Tsunade took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and sat back down in her chair.

She narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the young man opposite her, her gaze seemingly trying to see right through him.

This person is...something's not right.

"Kid, what's your name?"

"My name is Shimizu Makoto." Makoto Karatachi smiled slightly and said casually, "A mere ronin, traveling around to make a living."

"Ronin?"

Tsunade sneered, "What a formidable ronin."

"Just lucky." Makoto Koji shrugged. "I don't have many other good qualities, but I'm bold and don't believe in bad luck."

"Don't believe in superstitions?"

Tsunade's lips curled up slightly, revealing a dangerous smile.

"Alright, then I'll show you what true evil is."

"7

She pushed all the remaining chips in front of her away.

"All in, still too little!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The surrounding gamblers stared wide-eyed at the mountain of chips in disbelief.

That's at least a million taels!

Going all in at once?!

"This is insane! The fat sheep has gone berserk!"

"That's normal. That's how it is when fat sheep (investors) lose money; the more they lose, the more they get carried away, and the more carried away they get, the more they lose!"

"This kid's got incredible luck today. Let's bet on him; we might just make a killing!"

The gamblers were buzzing with discussion, and many of them turned their attention to Gouju Cheng.

After all, today, this young man who suddenly appeared is the real "weathervane".

Gouju Cheng simply smiled slightly at the gazes of the crowd.

He didn't rush to place his bet, but instead looked at Tsunade, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment.

"Lady Tsunade, are you sure?"

"Enough talk! To place a bet or not?"

"Bet, of course I'll bet."

Gouju Cheng pushed all six million taels of silver in front of him onto the big board.

"With Fat Sheep, the casino's jinx, around, how could I not place a bet?"

The surrounding gamblers hesitated for a moment, and eventually split into two groups.

One group chose to bet on Makoto Gojibana, another group chose to bet on Tsunade, and a small group chose to wait and see.

The atmosphere at the gambling table was extremely tense.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the dealer's forehead. He took a deep breath and reached out to lift the dice cup.

Three dice lay quietly at the bottom of the bowl.

"Three, three, five—eleven o'clock, big!"

"hiss!"

The entire audience gasped.

Tsunade stared intently at the three dice, her expression incredibly fascinating.

Twelve million!

The chips in front of Gouju Cheng have piled up to a terrifying twelve million!

"Thank you for your concession."

Makoto Koji smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, his smug look making Tsunade want to punch him into dust.

"You little brat—"

Tsunade took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and stood up.

She looked down at Gouju Cheng, a dangerous glint in her light brown eyes.

"Shimizu Makoto, right? I'll remember you."

"

"It's my honor," Makoto Goji Berry said with a smile. "Thanks all to you, Fat Sheep Master!"

"snort!"

Tsunade turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Makoto Goji's voice came from behind.

Tsunade stopped and turned to look at him, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"What, winning money isn't enough? You want to humiliate me too?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare," Gouju Makoto waved his hand. "But I have a favor to ask."

"explain."

Gouju pointed to the twelve million taels of silver in front of him.

"It's too much trouble for me to handle this money all by myself. How about this?"

He paused, looked directly at Tsunade, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

"Let's make another bet. One-on-one, right here. If you win, all this money is yours, how about it?"

"oh!?"

Tsunade, intrigued, turned back around: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, as for my victory—hehe."

Makoto's gaze swept over Tsunade without any politeness, and the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

The surrounding gamblers stared wide-eyed at Makoto Koji.

This kid—is he crazy?

Although the fat sheep was a free win at the gambling table, everyone present knew that this guy's identity and strength were extremely powerful. Countless fools had died at Tsunade's hands.

Has this kid gone mad from winning money?!

Tsunade was also stunned.

She stared at Gouju Cheng for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"Great, I agree!"

"Get me a VIP room. I want to have a one-on-one showdown with this gentleman!"
