Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

"One last bet, all in!"

The surroundings fell silent instantly. The dealer's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers, which were gripping the dice cup, paused for a moment.

She had deliberately controlled the score to let the young man win some points, hoping to lure this generous customer into coming back often, but who would have thought that he would suddenly bet so big?

Qingwu met the croupier's slightly flustered gaze and smiled coldly to himself.

This is exactly the situation he wanted.

He won more than he lost, which led many gamblers to follow his lead and bet with him. If the dealer dared to let him continue to win, the losses would not be able to be made up for by the 500,000 taels he had given away.

The dealer steadied himself and finally shook the dice cup quickly. The brass dice cup flew in his palm, making a crisp yet rapid sound.

Finally, he slammed his hand on the table with a loud "thud," and when he looked up, his expression had returned to calm: "Place your bets now!!"

The dice cup was overturned, and the dealer shouted, "Big!"

A barely perceptible sigh of relief flashed across his eyes.

The surrounding area instantly erupted in chaos.

The gamblers who had bet on the smaller bet were initially stunned, but then erupted into a deafening tirade of curses, slamming tables, cursing, and throwing chips—it was utter chaos.

Qingwu's face showed a timely expression of frustration and resentment. He slammed his hand on the edge of the table, cursed "bad luck," and turned to leave without looking back.

The curses and sighs behind him grew fainter and fainter.

He turned the corner of the street, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face, his eyes brimming with laughter. Damn, I never thought playing a "fat sheep" would be so difficult.

A full 700,000 taels of silver went down the drain in one night, and in the end, they even went all in.

His "reputation" will probably spread quickly through the gambling dens on Tanabata Street.

With some money still in hand, Qingwu planned to stay in Tanabata Street for a few days, just in case Tsunade was nearby, he wouldn't have to worry about not attracting her attention.

The next day, Qingwu went to a different gambling den.

Tonight he changed his game, taking turns being the banker with other gamblers, which further solidified his reputation as a "fat sheep".

After leaving behind the legend of the "fat sheep," they left triumphantly.

The third day, the same thing happened...

Day four, repeat...

Day five, the same thing happened... and then they ran out of money...

But someone came to "give" money.

Qingwu never expected that his "fat sheep" behavior would not attract a "big fat sheep," but instead attracted people with bad intentions.

That night, after leaving the gambling den, he pondered how to make money while simultaneously losing it.

Underground gold exchange shops have been his long-standing goal.

However, this "dark side" of the ninja world is not openly discussed, and since he has no connections, it is not easy to find it in a short time.

Just then, four figures appeared in front of the alley.

……

Ryuichi is a Rank A rogue ninja from Kusagakure.

He has three brothers: Ryuji, Ryusan, and Ryusei, all of whom are B-rank rogue ninja from Kusagakure.

While in the village, out of greed, he accidentally bit and killed the village's "blood pack"—a woman who had wandered to Kusagakure and was suspected to have the Uzumaki bloodline.

That woman wasn't his exclusive companion; she was a "spring of water" for many Grass Ninja after they returned to their village from missions.

Afterwards, fearing punishment from higher-ups, Ryuichi, a Jonin, simply led his brothers to rob a small clan and then defected from Kusagakure with the money.

Such incidents were not uncommon in the chaotic Grass Ninja Village.

Although the Grass Ninja Village designated the Ryuichi brothers and others as rogue ninjas and issued a bounty at the underground gold exchange, they did not personally send anyone to capture them due to limited manpower.

After more than half a year of wandering, the four Long brothers had almost squandered all their money—a life of extravagance is very expensive.

On the second night after Qingwu became a "fat sheep", Long Er, who was addicted to gambling, noticed him.

Over the next three days, after reconnaissance confirmed that Qingwu was just a young ninja with a slightly larger chakra reserve, but posed little threat,

The four brothers immediately decided to extend an "invitation" to Qingwu.

……

"You mean? There's a great place where you can have even bigger fun? And beautiful dealers to serve you?"

Qingwu looked at the four people blocking her way with a strange expression.

Long Yi was a middle-aged man wearing a headscarf. He turned his head and winked at his gambling-addicted second brother.

The shifty-eyed Long Er said obsequiously:

"That's right, only regular gamblers get invited. I noticed you didn't seem to be having enough fun, so I'm kindly taking you to play something more exciting."

Qingwu shook her head and said uncooperatively, "I'm having a great time. Who knows if you guys are good people? I'm not interested."

Long San, the largest of the four brothers, looked like a butcher. He said menacingly, "You'd better go well, my brothers won't make things difficult for you, otherwise..."

The youngest, Long Si, chimed in: "Whether you go or not is not up to you!"

Qingwu smiled.

Several rogue ninjas, used to running rampant because of their ninja status, even dared to mess with him as a middleman.

Seeing that the young Qingwu could still laugh under such circumstances, Long Yi, the leader, narrowed his eyes slightly. "Guest, don't be intimidated by my reckless brother. May I ask where you come from?"

As he spoke, Long Yi tilted his head slightly and moved his fingers behind his back.

Long Si understood immediately and quietly took two steps closer.

Just as Qingwu was about to answer, Long Si suddenly swung a large net at her head.

"Regardless of their background, secure them first, then ask questions."

Long Yi's cold voice rang out.

Ryuji and Ryusan, one reached out and formed a hand seal, while the other drew his broad-bladed ninja sword from his back and launched a surprise attack.

"Ah……"

Qingwu casually raised his hand, and a [Magic Arrow] shot towards Long Er, who was still forming hand seals.

She immediately ignored him.

Clenching his fist, he twisted his body and slammed it towards Long San, who appeared on his left...

Chapter 139 Underground Gold Exchange

"Fire Release: Flame—Ah!!!"

Just as Ryuji finished forming the hand seals for his C-rank Fire Release: Flame Bullet, his four raised fingers were snapped off at the root by the Magic Arrow.

"Ninjutsu without hand seals!"

"careful!"

Long Yi's eyes narrowed, realizing that this time it was ultimately due to a lack of information and carelessness.

Fire Release: Demon Lantern!

Although he was a Jonin from a small ninja village, Ryuichi's hand seals were much faster than Ryuji's.

Countless will-o'-the-wisps emerged from all directions around his body, paused slightly, and then shot rapidly toward Qingwu.

However, what he saw before him quickly made Long's eyes widen in fury.

The young man waved his hand, and a silver figure, seemingly a psychic creature, spread its wings and slammed the large net, along with Long Si who was holding the rope, into the wall.

At the same time, the young man's fist slammed squarely into Ryuzo's broadsword.

clang!!

Long San's tiger's mouth split open, and his ninja sword flew out in a spinning motion. The young man's powerful fist continued to pound on Long San's face.

Blood splattered, and Long San collapsed limply.

"impossible!!"

Dragon instinctively gasped in surprise.

Although his brothers were only Chunin, they had worked together for a long time and had even fought against Jonin from major ninja villages.

But today... in a single encounter, all three of his brothers were instantly killed.

The "Fire Release: Demon Lantern" that he had placed so much hope in was easily blocked by two short figures who suddenly appeared in front of the young man, wielding warhammers.

With a flash of the magic [Protective Shield], the two dwarves and the silver pegasus were summoned back by Qingwu.

He didn't want to reveal too much this time.

As news of his great battle with the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, spread, more and more people in the ninja world learned about him.

The combat method of summoning out troops and then immediately recalling them.

They can conceal their "true identity" as psychic beings as much as possible.

Most importantly, as long as he doesn't reveal the Wood Release: Root Entanglement, others won't know that he has a Wood Release bloodline limit, and thus won't associate him with the famous "Senju Seigo".

"Who...who are you?"

Long Yi has lost his will to fight.

He could take down three brothers in one round; even a Jonin couldn't do that.

Seeing the young man opposite him looking at him, Long Yi trembled, but did something that surprised Qing Wu.

"Boom!"

Long Yi knelt on the ground like a rogue, took out a scroll from his pocket and held it high: "My lord, please spare my life."

Qingwu: "..."

He didn't know that the person who came was originally a Grass Ninja, otherwise he wouldn't have been surprised.

After all, the Grass Ninja are the most unscrupulous ninjas in the ninja world, that's a consensus!
