From childhood to adulthood, every time she unleashed this winning streak, close family and friends would inevitably leave her.

So rather than saying she was addicted to gambling, it's more accurate to see it as her escaping life, using this method to numb and comfort herself.

It seems that as long as she keeps losing, she can feel at ease.

But even after all this time, she still couldn't escape this fate.

She started winning money again, easily winning over 4 million taels.

Moreover, the probability of hitting three 1s twice in a row is extremely low; those who know, know.

So something must have happened!

Tsunade was extremely anxious at this moment. She wanted to know who had been in trouble.

Then suddenly, she seemed to hear a voice in her ear, "Weren't we going to have drinks and catch up? Why did you leave?"

Tsunade stopped abruptly, then reached up to touch her neck.

There used to be a crystal pendant necklace there, but she had already given it away to someone else.

She remembered, and she gave it to Jiraiya.

He even stood Jiraiya up; he didn't show up for the promised drinks and reminiscing.

"Next time...the next time..."

Tsunade suddenly looked up into the distance, and at the same time, her heart sank rapidly.

. . . . . .

Late at night.

Shinji and his group started a fire and rested in the wild.

They were all ninjas, so naturally they weren't so delicate.

Meanwhile, Sasori's [Regeneration Core] was placed on the ground next to Shinji, completely unsuspecting.

Deidara, holding a small telescope, saw this scene by the light of the fire and the moon.

"Hehehe, didn't expect that, did you? I'm back again."

Although Sasori never told Deidara the secret of the [Regeneration Core], Deidara had witnessed Sasori's form emerging from Hiruko and knew that it was also a puppet.

It was precisely because he knew that Scorpion had also turned himself into a puppet that he was pursuing the eternal art.

Deidara then began to change his attitude and genuinely respect him.

Although their artistic philosophies differed, Deidara greatly admired and respected Deidara's dedication and spirit of sacrifice in pursuit of art.

Therefore, he felt that the scorpion wouldn't die so easily.

He absolutely had to get his hands on that thing that was like the 'core'.

And so, Deidara's gaze gradually hardened, and then he took out a lump of explosive clay, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew.

Before long, the bushes around Shinji and the others were filled with tiny white clay spiders.

These spiders move silently, and seem no different from real spiders.

At the same time, some white birds flew in from all around and perched on the treetops.

Underground, a giant white centipede was slowly crawling, trying to minimize the vibrations of its movement, even if it was slow.

The night grew even quieter.

Suddenly a gentle breeze blew by, and countless small white balls fell from the sky, landing precisely at Shinji and the others' temporary habitat.

Shinji, Hidan, Tobi, and Sasuke all opened their eyes.

Even Tamamo Hotaru was awakened by the wary white fox, Kyogetsu.

Then the ball landed...

Boom boom boom!!!

"Art is an explosion, hahaha!"

Deidara, riding a clay owl high in the sky, burst into laughter.

Every time he creates an explosion, he feels a thrilling pleasure from the inside out!

The detonating bomb he just threw down was merely a small appetizer.

Several figures emerged from the smoke of the explosion. Although there were quite a few detonators, they were not powerful enough, and the detonators had been detected before the explosion, so they did not cause any casualties, but only created chaos.

As soon as Sasuke landed, a bunch of exploding spiders jumped out from behind the tree.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and the Kusanagi sword in his hand had already burst into lightning, but the tremor under his feet startled him!

With a loud bang.

A giant centipede emerged from the ground. Although Sasuke jumped up in time, he was still at risk of being entangled.

To make matters worse, after he jumped up, a flock of exploding birds also targeted him and surrounded him!

There was nowhere to go, whether in front, behind, left, or right, up in the sky or down in the earth!

[Chapter 398 Trap]

Shinji saw Sasuke in danger, and at that moment, Sasuke's hands were already about to be clasped together.

With just a gentle tap, Sasuke can be rescued instantly.

But just as he was about to clasp his hands together, he suddenly stopped.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Sasuke, under intense stimulation, instinctively activated his Mangekyou Sharingan. Then, driven by his survival instinct, a layer of purple energy shield suddenly rose from the surface of his body.

It was only after seeing this stunning purple color that Shinji felt relieved enough to stop.

Boom boom boom!

Another series of explosions engulfed Sasuke in intense flames.

However, once the smoke cleared, the "no harm from smoke" principle came into play.

Sasuke landed smoothly, covered by a purple skeletal half-body, his face filled with murderous intent.

Although it was only the first stage of Susanoo, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, greatly increasing Sasuke's strength!

Moreover, having done it once, using Susanoo again will be a natural progression.

Upon seeing this, Shinji couldn't help but reveal an admiring look.

"Well done."

Sasuke was very excited to hear Shinji's praise.

He finally unleashed that power!

However, as soon as his tense nerves relaxed, he immediately felt wave after wave of weakness. His Mangekyou Sharingan immediately shut down, and then everything went black as he fell forward to the ground.

At this point, Sasuke's chakra reserves and eye power were both severely depleted.

So even though it was only the first stage of Susanoo, it still drained his energy.

However, it's nothing serious; I'll be fine after resting for a while.

The scene was extremely chaotic, with explosions all around and dust and smoke rising from the explosions.

Moreover, these clay spiders, birds, and centipedes that lie in ambush are somewhat unpredictable, as they may suddenly jump onto you from some hidden corner.

Afei was so frightened that he screamed and started running around in all directions.

Swarms of clay spiders and clay birds crashed into him.

However, none of them were able to actually meet him.

A classic case of all bark and no bite!

The Three-Tailed Isobu was terrified and hid behind a tree as fast as it could.

Then I saw a white exploding spider behind the tree, seemingly watching it curiously.

It experienced fear for the first time...

He opened his mouth and sprayed a stream of water over there.

Yes, it's similar to a children's water gun.

The white spider sprayed all over his face didn't react at all.

Because, according to the white spider's perception, the little turtle was not even among its target range for the explosion.

Ignored...

The Three-Tailed Isobu had mixed feelings, so it quietly dodged away, and sure enough, no attack was aimed at it at all.

This was a feeling I'd never experienced before; it was both novel and embarrassing.

Then, Ah Fei's side made the biggest commotion, but in reality, he wasn't injured at all.

Tamamo Hotaru was quite clever. When she sensed that things were not going well, she immediately merged with the Moon and transformed into the Moonlight King Fox. Her movements were elegant and graceful.

Hidan was the only one who fared poorly, getting blown up and covered in dust.

This is nobody's fault but theirs. Hidan's first thought when he sees something jumping towards him is to cut it down!

So he swiftly chopped up all the clay spiders and birds that jumped at him—they really exploded, numbing them so they didn't even know where the enemy was.

Amidst the chaos, a figure quietly approached and picked up the [Regeneration Core] that had fallen to the ground.

"Successful!"

Deidara, his face beaming with joy, was about to turn and run away.

Then he was pierced through from behind by a sharp blade.

"Oh? It's you. What a coincidence. You want this? You should have said so earlier. Why bother stealing or robbing?"

Shinji felt that Deidara was not the type to give up easily, so he deliberately kept Sasori's [Regeneration Core] in a visible place.

Surprisingly, we actually managed to lure this guy out.

Deidara glanced down at the long sword piercing his chest, then suddenly grinned maliciously. "What I want, I still prefer to get it myself! Drink!"
