Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Tsunade didn't want to wait a moment longer after getting the money; she just wanted to go to the casino immediately to win back the money she had lost.

As long as you win it back, it's not a loss!

With that, she got up and left without hesitation.

Casino, here I come!

Jiraiya, who was stuffing himself with food, suddenly found that the delicious food in his mouth no longer tasted good.

That money was for his living expenses!

If we don't catch up quickly, that money will have to be given away.

"Teacher Lianye, Second Generation Master, thank you for your hospitality."

Jiraiya wolfed down the rice in his bowl, then took his leave.

Orochimaru remained calmly seated, slowly chewing his food.

He had given up hope of lending out the 500,000 taels.

Lending money to gamblers is like throwing good money after bad.

Instead of pressuring Tsunade to repay her debt, it's better to treat it as a lesson.

As for Jiraiya?

That guy is such a forgetful idiot!

He would lend Tsunade money without hesitation whenever she asked.

It's completely hopeless.

"Orochimaru, aren't you leaving with them?"

Renya had no intention of driving Orochimaru away; she was simply curious.

"Teacher Renya, I'm still not full." Orochimaru said with a smile.

Seeing Tsunade and Jiraiya leave, Tobirama Senju slowed down his eating.

With two fewer mouths to feed, there's enough food on the table for them.

He showed no interest in the conversation between Lian Ye and her apprentice, and continued to enjoy his food.

After all, I've been craving this for months.

"Judging from Jiraiya's hurried appearance, has something happened?"

Renya looked at Orochimaru and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that Tsunade owes him a lot of money and went to collect the debt."

Orochimaru enjoyed his meal while explaining the whole story.

"Tsk, Jiraiya is really carefree..." Renya remarked.

He's not a loan shark, why would he need to borrow money from Tsunade?

Don't you know that gamblers will do anything when they're desperate after losing?

Senju Tobirama paused in his act of picking up food when he heard their conversation.

So Tsunade wanted money to gamble!

He had given her plenty of pocket money before...

Fortunately, the amount given at the time was not much, only 500,000 taels in total.

Oh well, I'll just take this as a lesson learned.

He pretended nothing had happened and continued eating, offering a reminder to Lianye.

"Kid, don't give her pocket money next time."

"I understand, Uncle." Lian Ye simply smiled.

Konoha's casinos are all his own property. To ensure the casinos' revenue, he previously hired some gambling experts to oversee them.

He gave Tsunade money, and Tsunade lost it all at the casino.

Isn't it just that the money in the right pocket flowed into the left pocket?

Moreover, with Tsunade as the easy target at the gambling table, wouldn't those gamblers go crazy?

The casino's revenue will only continue to grow.

Tsunade could be considered the casino's mascot.

Whenever she's around, the day's sales will skyrocket.

Once the gamblers have made money off the fat sheep, the expert gambler will step in and win all the money from them.

Of course, it can't be too obvious; some gamblers have to get a share.

Today the gamblers win, tomorrow the gamblers lose.

Then the gamblers will think about winning back their losses, thus losing themselves in the casino until they have lost all their money before they come to their senses.

But after a while, I couldn't resist coming back again.

There's a reason why it's said that nine out of ten gamblers lose.

It's just that Tsunade is an anomaly, someone who loses every time she gambles.

In casinos where she is present, gamblers tend to become even more frenzied.

Even if they're unlucky, they're still better off than Tsunade, that easy target!

Once they get completely carried away, they'll be fleeced by the casino.

Lianye amassed a huge fortune through the casino industry.

Orochimaru's estimate of Renya's wealth was conservative.

When Tsunade loses money at the casino, it's basically just transferring money from one hand to the other.

Forget ten lifetimes, you could never lose it all.

"Teacher Renya, Second Hokage, I'm full." Orochimaru put down his chopsticks, stood up, and bowed to the two of them.

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

It must be said that Orochimaru was very polite.

Needless to say, his personal charisma goes without saying...

"Remember to come often," Lian Ye said with a smile.

"Yes, Ms. Renye."

Although Teacher Renye said that, it's impossible for him to come over for meals all the time.

We can't take polite words too seriously, can we?

It's a very troublesome thing to not be able to understand good or bad words.

If it were someone else, things might not be so simple.

That idiot might be foolish enough to believe it...

"Tsunade, please give me my money back and don't go to the casino again!"

As soon as Orochimaru came out, he saw Jiraiya clinging tightly to Tsunade's leg, looking pleading.

"Jiraiya, let me go!" Tsunade frowned in displeasure.

"I told you, once I win back what I lost at the casino, I'll pay you back with interest!"

If he returns the money to Jiraiya now, he won't be able to win back his losses at the casino.

Therefore, I cannot repay the money for the time being.

"No, Tsunade!"

Jiraiya clung tightly to Tsunade's thigh, refusing to let go.

"If you don't return my money, I'll really be starving."

He had lent all his earnings from the past few months' missions to Tsunade, and he really didn't even have money left for food.

"Trust me, Jiraiya!" Tsunade said seriously. "This time I'll definitely make up for it, and you'll be rich soon!"

"No, you said the same thing last time and the time before that..."

Jiraiya shook his head frantically, lowering his demands for repayment.

"Can you pay back one million first, and then pay back the remaining one and a half million gradually?"

These days, the one who owes money is the boss, and the creditor has to constantly lower their stance.

"Jiraiya, don't you believe me?"

"I believe you, but could you pay me back some of the money first?"

"Idiot." Orochimaru curled his lip.

He ignored their argument and walked right past them.

In the end, Tsunade couldn't stand Jiraiya's relentless pursuit.

He counted out 500,000 taels and gave them to Jiraiya.

The remaining half was, of course, lost at the casino.

"I knew you'd lose, so you might as well give it all back to me," Jiraiya muttered under his breath.

"Shut up! If it weren't for your jinx, would I have lost money?" Tsunade blushed instantly.

"Jiraiya, lend me another 500,000 taels of silver. This time, I can really win it back!"

Jiraiya: "..."

Do you think I look like an idiot?

Chapter 369 Loss of Ideals and Beliefs

"Oh, isn't this our busy Hokage?"

At Tobirama Senju's residence, Renya was lying in the courtyard sunbathing when she noticed a furtive figure lurking at the door.

Upon taking off his sunglasses, who else could it be but Shimura Danzo?

Behind him followed Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Kagami Uchiha.

"Lianye, did you have fun going out?" Uchiha Kagami asked with a smile.

"It's alright." Lian Ye sat up from the recliner and said with a smile, "Why did you all decide to come here?"

Aside from Uchiha Kagami who has visited a few times, no one else usually comes here.

It's probably because of that old bastard Tobirama Senju.

The group was afraid of disturbing the teacher's rest.

"We missed you, so we came to see you," Xiaochun from the dorm teased.

“That’s right, that’s right,” Hiruzen Sarutobi echoed.

"Tsk, Renye is too extravagant!" Mitomon Yan pushed up his glasses and sighed as he looked at the luxurious decorations of the courtyard.

He pointed to the swimming pool not far away and exclaimed, "There's even a swimming pool in the yard!"

"Renya has really struck it rich!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed.

When he first came, there was no swimming pool in the courtyard. After he hadn't been there for a while, the already luxurious courtyard had become even more luxurious.

"It's even more luxurious than our Uchiha clan's territory..." Uchiha Kagami exclaimed.

Even though the Uchiha are a great clan that has stood in the ninja world for a thousand years, their house decorations are far inferior to those of Renya's.

Even the former Uchiha clan leader was impressed by Renya's wealth and extravagance, let alone Kagami, who had never seen much of the world.

Is this the world of the rich?

Compared to Lianye's home, theirs was practically a slum!
