Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu.

Yu Mikami cleared his throat, looked down from Tsunade's pair of giant peaks at the few lonely chips on the table, and said, "Lady Tsunade, it looks like your game is almost over? How about I bet for you on this last round?"

"If you win, it's yours; if you lose, I'll pay you double."

"!"

Tsunade's eyes widened instantly: "Is this true?"

"of course."

Although it's still unknown how much revenue "Raw Cola" has generated, Yu Mikami has been staying on the southwestern border for so long, and he's received quite a bit of subsidies and mission rewards. I wouldn't dare say a lot, but he could easily come up with ten or twenty thousand.

at this time.

Within the hidden system, even a ninja with a gambling addiction got excited:

[Superpower Technique: (Rubbing hands excitedly) Bet! Bet now! I already have a feeling about what the next throw will be like. Trust me, this time you'll double your money!]

[Clone Technique: Hmm... Is Mistress going to hang out with that blond gambler again? This doesn't look good... Take my advice, it's best not to.]

(...Don't worry, it's just a little gambling for fun.)

Yu Mikami exchanged a few words with several ninjutsu through the Corner System, and then looked at Tsunade.

The latter had clearly been losing for most of the day and was in a bad mood. Hearing what Mikami Yu said, he decided to throw caution to the wind: "Fine! Kid, the rest of your chips are yours! You don't have to pay double if you lose, one is fine!"

With that, Tsunade pushed the chips in front of Mikami Yu.

"Let's begin."

Previously, Yu Mikami had already learned most of the various card and board game rules by betting against "Super Strength Technique" in the Gacha System, so he didn't need Tsunade to help explain the rules.

At that moment, the dealer picked up the dice cup again, threw the dice in, and began shaking it at a dazzling speed. The dice collided back and forth in the cup, making a dense, crisp sound that captivated the hearts of all the gamblers around.

Tsunade unconsciously clenched her hands and looked at Mikami Yu's back.

Nohara Rin also looked nervous.

Just as the dealer was about to stop shaking the cup and was about to drop it—

A faint glint of light suddenly flashed in the depths of Yu Mikami's eyes!

"Neuroactivation therapy," activated!

In an instant, the world seemed to be slowed down.

Yu Mikami's dynamic vision and hearing were enhanced to the limit in those few seconds, clearly capturing and amplifying every subtle sound of the dealer's wrist trembling, the trajectory of the dice cup falling, and even the rolling and colliding of the dice, and then quickly analyzing and judging it in his mind!

Snapped--!

"Place your bet now!"

"……big!"

As the dealer's hand pressed down on the dice cup, Yu Mikami swiftly and decisively pushed all the chips in front of him to the "big" area!

"Ok?"

Tsunade tugged at Mikami Yu's sleeve from behind and whispered, "Hey, kid, are you sure? I only have one more chance to gamble. If I guess wrong, I'll lose everything!"

"rest assured."

Yu Mikami said.

After the other gamblers had placed their bets, the dealer slowly lifted the dice cup.

Four, five, six, fifteen o'clock big!

"Huh, he actually guessed right? This kid's got some luck!"

"Heh, it's just a newbie protection period. I played the same way when I first entered a casino, and now I'm about to go bankrupt."

Amidst the murmurs around her, Tsunade looked at the chips that had just been pushed back, now half their original number. Her furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face: "Interesting... Shall we continue?"

"……continue."

In the next two rounds, the dealer's dice-rolling techniques became even more unpredictable, attempting to interfere with Mikami Yu's judgment.

However, Yu Mikami's "neural activation technique" continued to work steadily.

In just three rounds...

Yu Mikami hit all three shots, and the chips in front of him were four times more than when he first took over. Although he hadn't won back all the money that Tsunade had lost today, he had recovered more than half of his losses!

At this time.

A large crowd had gathered around the gambling table, and many of them were whispering among themselves.

The "super strength" techniques in the Gaggle System are also incredibly exciting to watch.

[Super Strength Skill: Affection +2!]

Only the dealer had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his gaze toward Mikami Yu became somewhat serious.

Before he knew it, several ninjas dressed as casino employees surrounded him, each staring intently at Mikami Yu, trying to find evidence that he was cheating.

—Yes, that's right. Casinos in the Naruto world are theoretically prohibited from using ninjutsu to cheat. Otherwise, high-ranking ninjas would have countless ways to cheat secretly.

However, Yu Mikami's cheating method simply enhanced his perception without interfering with anything on the gambling table. So unless the other party could see through the flow of chakra within him, they would not be able to detect how he completed this series of cheating operations.

Incidentally, for this reason as well, members of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans are usually prohibited from entering casinos. These two clans have distinctive physical characteristics, making them difficult to mistake for each other under normal circumstances.

the other side.

Looking at the pile of chips she had recovered, Tsunade could no longer hide her joy. She slapped Mikami Yu on the back and burst into hearty laughter: "Hahaha! Good job, kid! You've got some skills! Let's do it again, I was almost back to winning it all back..."

"Lady Tsunade, it's time to stop while you're ahead."

Yu Mikami said calmly, "Luck is something you can't have too much of once you use it up. You can't be too greedy."

"...Alright then."

Tsunade was a little disappointed, but she still nodded.

Well... the main reason is that Nohara Rin is watching from the side, and her relationship with Mikami Yu isn't that close. At this moment, Tsunade is still somewhat mindful of her identity as a "medical expert" and doesn't want the two little ones to think she's a gambler, so she relented.

After waiting for the waiter to exchange the chips for cash.

Tsunade shoved it into her pocket, then put her arm around Mikami Yu's shoulder and called to the still somewhat dazed Nohara Rin, "Come on, let's find a place to sit down. Let me hear what you've been up to on the front lines lately..."

……

A few minutes later.

In a dumpling shop located on another street in Konoha.

Tsunade picked up a cup of tea and listened to Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin's account as she sipped it: "So, you encountered Granny Chiyo on the border, fought with her, captured a Scorching Release user, and reached an agreement with her to collect a complete set of experimental data?"

"Yes."

Mikami Yu nodded, took out the scroll he had prepared in advance, and placed it on the table: "This is the analysis report that Rin and I compiled with the help of Senior Snake Ci. There are also cell samples obtained from Yekura. Please take a look."

Chapter 145 You Go to the Front Lines, I Catch Cats—It's All for Konoha's Service (Two-in-One)

Inside the meatball shop.

Tsunade took the scroll handed to her by Mikami Yu, unfolded it with her fingertips, glanced at it casually, and then looked up, her eyes slightly narrowed: "Tsk, after all this talk, the purpose of your visit to me is not just to ask me to help you research this 'Scorching Release', is it?"

"As expected of Lady Tsunade, she understands immediately!"

Yu Mikami immediately offered his praise.

Stop flattering me!

Tsunade glared at Mikami Yu with annoyance and said, "I'm not taking this job. Bloodline limits aren't so easy to research. It's time-consuming and laborious, and there's no guarantee of results. I have no interest in it."

This response was not what Mikami Yu had expected:

"Lady Tsunade, do you still remember our bet?"

"...You mean the one about the monthly profit of 'Konoha Fresh Cola'? What, you want to use that 'demand' to get me to research this for you? Hmph! It hasn't even been half a year yet, who knows how long the 'Fresh Cola's' popularity will last? Are you so sure I'll lose?"

Tsunade looked unconvinced.

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood."

"A bet is a bet. What I mean is, we can discuss the profit-sharing issue again."

Mikami Yu softened his tone and began to paint a rosy picture for Tsunade: "As you can see, 'raw cola' is very popular in Konoha now, and the supply can't keep up with the demand. Many shops have even limited the number of purchases per person, otherwise they simply can't meet the needs of most people."

"If it could be promoted to the more prosperous capital of the Land of Fire, Tanabata Street... there are many wealthy people in those places, whose spending power is several times that of Konoha. Once the distribution channels are opened, it is not impossible to earn millions or even tens of millions of taels per month! And a 30% profit is three million!"

"At that time, Lady Tsunade, you only need to hold the title of 'Research Consultant' and you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, making money while lying in bed every day! This money is enough for you to buy whatever you want in the casino... cough cough, I mean in the shop."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's breathing became noticeably rapid.

Three million taels... every month!

You can earn money while lying in bed without doing anything!

To be fair, Yu Mikami's vision is a bit too ambitious. After all, the current monthly profit of "raw cola" is probably only a few hundred thousand taels. Reaching a million taels is still possible, but ten million taels is not a market that large in the Land of Fire.

but……

Tsunade is a gambler.

For gamblers, as long as the probability is not zero, it is possible.

And the possibility is quite high!

Previously, Tsunade had been saying that the popularity of "raw cola" might only be temporary, essentially because she had missed out on the opportunity and needed to use this excuse to numb herself and solidify her resolve. But now, since there's an opportunity for her to get back on board... what's there to say?

Beat a fight, bike change bike!

All in!

"Hmph! You cunning brat..."

Tsunade snorted and grabbed the Blazing Release scroll from the table with annoyance, but a smile crept onto her lips: "I'm not doing this for your 30% profit. I'm just giving you face because you look so pitiful... I'm leaving now. I'll give you an answer in a few days, but I can't guarantee there will be a result."

As they were speaking,

Tsunade slammed a handful of coins on the table, said magnanimously, "Keep the change," and got up to leave.

The owner of the dumpling shop walked over and glanced at it, then hesitated, saying, "Lady Tsunade... this isn't enough money."

"..."

……

Finally, Yu Mikami paid for the tea and snacks first.

After saying goodbye to Tsunade, Mikami Yu took Nohara Rin back to the vicinity of the civilian district.

By this time, it was already getting a little dark.

The streetlights along the road lit up one by one, and oil lamps were lit in the houses next door. Through the glass or paper screens, one could see the shadowy figures inside. Nohara Rin pointed and was the first to notice the Mikami house with its lights on: "Yu, it seems that Uncle and Aunt have already returned."

"Ah."

"Then you should go back and talk to them. They must miss you a lot after not seeing you for so long."

Nohara Rin stopped in front of her house, turned around and gave a sweet smile: "Give my regards to them for me and Dad. Remember to have dinner together tomorrow night."

"I will, and please give my regards to Uncle Hiroshi."

Yu Mikami said.

Then, Nohara Rin stood in her yard and watched Mikami Yu walk to her door before waving and turning to go inside.

Yuya Mikami pushed open the door and entered the room.

The Mikami couple, who had just returned from get off work, turned around in surprise, their eyes filled with astonishment and delight upon seeing him:

"Yu! You're back? Quick, let Mom see you. It's so dangerous on the front lines, have you lost weight? Are you injured?"

Mikami Aoi rushed forward and hugged Mikami Yu tightly, her eyes red and her voice choked with emotion.

Mikami Tajima was relatively more restrained, but his eyes were full of excitement and relief: "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."

When people reunite after a long separation, they inevitably exchange pleasantries and inquiries.

Yu Mikami briefly recounted his experiences at the front lines, omitting the dangerous parts and only mentioning his achievements and the news of his safe return. The Mikami couple were both worried and proud, as if they had endless questions to ask.

After a while, seeing that it was getting late, the couple hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook. They quickly prepared a table full of home-style dishes, and the family of three sat together and enjoyed the meal.

Until this point.
