Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

Even Tsunade, who had been staring intently at the betting pot on the table, couldn't help but look up at Lan Mingang.

"Huh?"

Seeing that it really was a young man with a pretty little girl, Tsunade advised:

"Little girl, this isn't a place for you."

"Hey, take your sister and leave this place!"

"Be careful, or you'll lose even your underwear!"

Lan Mingang placed the million-dollar sum on the table, raising an eyebrow at Tsunade.

"Lose my underwear? To you? You big fat sheep!"

The words 'big fat sheep' pierced Tsunade's heart like a sharp sword.

Bang!

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and stood up, stepping onto the chair, pointing at Lan Mingang, and said dissatisfied:

"Bastard! I was kindly advising you, and you actually call me a big fat sheep!"

Although it's true that I've been losing quite a bit lately...

How can you say something like that so openly?

What a little rascal!

"Isn't it true?" Lan Mingang provoked again.

Tsunade, in a fit of anger, said:

"Dare to bet with me!"

"Let's see who the real big fat sheep is!"

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

Lan Mingang readily agreed:

"Let's do it!"

Lan Mingang reached out and tapped the million-dollar sum on the table in front of him.

Tsunade understood and looked at the Konoha ninja beside her.

The Konoha ninja, helpless, reluctantly took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet and handed them to Tsunade.

Taking the banknotes, Tsunade asked:

"What are we playing?"

"Hanafuda."

Hanafuda, a card game that existed even when Hashirama Senju was alive.

It can be played by two people or more, depending on the specific rules.

Lan Mingang and Tsunade, naturally, were playing the most basic version.

Under the witness of the casino boss, a brand new, unopened deck of Hanafuda cards was brought out.

After shuffling and mixing, Lan Mingang and Tsunade were each dealt eight cards, along with eight community cards on the table.

The rules are similar to playing mahjong: play a card and then see if it can form a set with the cards on the table.

Picking up his hand, Lan Mingang already knew the result without looking.

His hand could form 'Gokou'.

The highest-scoring hand.

As Lan Mingang and Tsunade continued to play their hands, drawing cards from the deck.

In Lan Mingang's scoring area, the 'Gokou' hand was taking shape.

The crowd watching Lan Mingang and Tsunade's duel all exclaimed 'Damn!' 'How is this possible?' 'Is this fake?' after seeing the Gokou hand formed.

Tsunade looked at the 'Gokou' in Lan Mingang's scoring area, her mouth twitching.

It's over!

Now I'm going to lose even my underwear!

The casino boss, after seeing the Gokou hand, asked Lan Mingang:

"Do you want to continue?"

Only a fool would continue.

If we continue, Tsunade will form a hand faster than me. Once Tsunade chooses to end the game.

Then I'll be the one who loses.

"End!"

Lan Mingang looked at Tsunade and smiled:

"Big fat sheep, it seems you've lost ~"

Creak—

The sound of teeth grinding rang out.

Tsunade clenched her teeth tightly, her molars almost crushed.

Taking a deep breath.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky!"

Turning her head to look at the Konoha ninja beside her, Tsunade smiled sheepishly.

Seeing this, the Konoha ninja had no choice but to take out all his money.

Looking at the coins and bills on the table, Tsunade was in a difficult position.

Because even with this money, it wasn't enough to pay off the gambling debt...

Handing the larger bills to Lan Mingang, Tsunade said:

"I don't have enough money, I'll owe you for now!"

"I'll pay you back when I have money in the future!"

"How will you pay me back? What if you just run away and leave this place, where will I find you to get the money back?" Lan Mingang asked.

"And I'm leaving here soon to go to Konoha, I advise you to give me the money now!"

"You're going to Konoha!?" Tsunade asked in surprise.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

After receiving Lan Mingang's confirmation, Tsunade said happily:

"How about this, I'll protect you to Konoha, and that will count as paying off the remaining money, how about it?"

Hearing that Tsunade-sama was going to escort the young man to Konoha, the Konoha ninja quickly whispered:

"Tsunade-sama..."

Tsunade winked at the Konoha ninja:

"Don't worry, it won't take long."

"You?" Lan Mingang said with a hint of disdain.

"Are you questioning my strength?"

Tsunade stood up again, stepping on the chair, rolled up the sleeves of her right arm, revealing her smooth white arm, and flexed her biceps, saying:

"Super strong!"

As she said that, Tsunade slammed her palm on the gambling table.

With a bang!

The gambling table directly shattered into pieces.

Gulp...

The sound of swallowing saliva came from the throats of a group of gamblers.

They had seen that Lan Mingang had so much money and looked weak and frail, and they had been thinking of robbing him after Lan Mingang left.

But after seeing Tsunade's strength, they instantly lost their courage.

If this woman was protecting him, robbing the young man would be like suicide.

Tsunade had also noticed that the surrounding gamblers had bad intentions, which is why she chose to offer to escort Lan Mingang.

Of course, paying back the money was the main reason.

The sudden explosion of the gambling table startled Konan.

She snuggled into Lan Mingang's arms.

Lan Mingang reached out and stroked Konan's head, whispering:

"It's okay."

Tsunade came to Lan Mingang and said confidently:

"How about it?"

"Not bad, in that case, as long as you send me to Konoha, I don't need to pay back the rest of the money!"

Hearing this, Tsunade was overjoyed.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Tsunade looked at the little girl on Lan Mingang's lap and asked:

"By the way, is she going too?"

"Otherwise?"

"It's a bit troublesome..." Tsunade pretended to hesitate.

Lan Mingang took out the money that Tsunade had just lost to him.

"Five hundred thousand!"

Tsunade smiled and took the five hundred thousand, confidently saying:

"Leave it to me!"

Then she returned the five hundred thousand to the Konoha ninja.

The four left the gambling house and walked towards the direction of Konoha Village.

"I don't even know what your names are yet."

"You didn't say your name either, did you?"

"Oh, is that so? My name is Tsunade, I'm a Konoha ninja!"

"My name is Lan Mingang, and she is Konan, an ordinary person."

An ordinary person?

Tsunade's expression was strange.

If she said Konan was an ordinary person, she might believe it, but she didn't believe that Lan Mingang was an ordinary person at all.

She had shattered the gambling table with one palm, and he hadn't even blinked.

Such courage was not something an ordinary person could possess.

She couldn't rule out that he was a ninja sent by an enemy ninja village.

The closest countries to this town are the Land of Rain, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Rivers.

Which country are they from?

"Lan Mingang, what are you going to Konoha Village for?"

"To enjoy life!"

And to find a wife.

Now the Second Shinobi World War hasn't started yet, Kushina Uzumaki has already come to Konoha Village and joined the Ninja Academy, but she doesn't like Minato Namikaze, and even feels that Minato Namikaze looks down on her.
