Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 605 The Legendary Living Yama

At night, in the brightly lit Konoha, two figures slowly walked through the city's bustling downtown area.

"Phew... I'm finally off work. I can finally relax." The woman with light yellow short hair stretched out a big yawn, raising her arms above her head, as if shaking off all the fatigue that had accumulated on her shoulders throughout the day.

She is none other than Tsunade, the current Fifth Hokage of Konoha and granddaughter of Hashirama Senju.

However, this Tsunade looked somewhat different from the one Naruto was familiar with. First of all, she wore glasses, and the aura she exuded was not that of a "violent strong woman," but rather more refined and intellectual, like a young female professor teaching at a university.

And... there's another difference. How to put it? What was once a broad, surging heart, arguably the greatest in the ninja world, is now flat and without any undulations. Crashing into it might even give you a concussion.

"Lady Tsunade, is this really alright?" A woman with short black hair asked in bewilderment from the side. She was holding a small black pig and seemed to have a bad temper. She was Kato Shizune from another world, but the difference was that her chest was so large that it would not be noticed in a crowd.

The silence of this world has the exact opposite characteristic—the originally barren place has become quite abundant.

"The situation has been quite turbulent lately, and Lord Jiraiya is still unconscious."

"What does it matter?" Tsunade said without turning her head. "Jiraiya is out of danger now, isn't he?"

"That's true..."

"Furthermore, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is considered safe," Tsunade continued.

"That's still not okay..." Shizune wanted to say something more.

"And what's more!" Tsunade's voice suddenly rose a little, "This is the first time I've gambled this month! It's okay to indulge myself once in a while, right?"

Shizune sighed helplessly. She said nothing.

The two quickly found a casino. The casino's facade was decorated in a glittering gold, and voices and shouts came from inside. The ringing of the machines and the clanging of steel balls seemed to be playing a chaotic symphony.

Tsunade clenched her fists, her face full of anticipation, and walked in.

The receptionist at the door had been half-closing her eyes, her head nodding off.

But when the woman with short, light yellow hair came into view, he jumped up from his chair with a "whoosh," then frantically grabbed the walkie-talkie from the counter, his voice trembling with fear.

"Oh no, boss! The Fifth Hokage is here at our casino!"

Tsunade didn't notice the receptionist's flustered state. Or rather, she did notice, but didn't care.

Finally, she sat down at a pachinko machine. She took out her wallet from her pocket, pulled out a bill, and handed it to the waiter standing next to her, whose expression wasn't very good, in exchange for a box of pachinko balls.

She poured the box of small steel balls into the machine's inlet.

"Okay, let's go!" Her voice was full of excitement.

She pulled the lever. "Whoosh—", a steel ball rolled into the machine from the inlet.

"Ding ding ding ding ding—"

The machine suddenly exploded; ringtones, music—all sorts of sounds rang out at the same moment.

"Congratulations to the customer of machine number 7! You've won our grand prize!"

The announcement came from overhead, repeated twice, and was loud enough to be heard throughout the entire casino.

Tsunade had only bought a small amount of steel balls, enough for another customer to play for about ten minutes, but Tsunade's machine started spitting out steel balls incessantly. "Clatter clatter clatter—"

The steel balls gushed out of the outlet like a waterfall, falling into the plastic box below with a "whoosh" sound that would make any gambler's heart race.

One box was full, and the waiter quickly ran over to replace it with an empty one. Before the waiter could even put the empty box back in, it was full again.

Replace it, fill it up again. Replace it, fill it up again. In the blink of an eye, Tsunade's feet were piled high with boxes of all sizes, each one full.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"I won the grand prize again! That's incredible!"

"How lucky! Always winning big prizes!"

Soon, with the commotion, a crowd of gamblers gathered behind Tsunade.

"No wonder it's always the grand prize, it turns out it's the Hokage."

"Huh? Isn't it surprising that the Hokage won the prize?"

"Don't you know? The Fifth Hokage traveled throughout the ninja world, visiting most of the world's casinos, and this is the title he left behind—"

"What title?"

"The legendary living Yama."

"A living Yama?"

"That's right. The Fifth Hokage was a descendant of the 'God of Gamblers,' Hashirama Senju. Lady Tsunade also inherited the First Hokage's talent of winning every gamble. Every casino that Lady Tsunade gambles in loses a lot of money, or even goes bankrupt. Countless casino owners are terrified when they hear that Lady Tsunade is coming to gamble, and some even close down their shops."

"Thus, he earned the title of 'the legendary living Yama'!"

Finally, a chubby middle-aged man, covered in sweat, dressed in a suit, ran out from the depths of the casino. Behind him followed several casino staff members, all pale-faced and walking hurriedly. The casino owner ran to Tsunade's side, forcing a smile, but the smile was terribly stiff.

"Oh dear, I never expected the Fifth Hokage to grace us with his presence. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you sooner." The casino owner said, while secretly glancing at the mountain of BB boxes piled up beside Tsunade—the boxes of small BBs were stacked neatly, almost as high as a wall. He silently did the math in his mind, and after finishing, his face twitched with heartache.

This is the ultimate prize with an odds of less than one in a thousand, so why do I win every time?

Upon hearing the sound, Tsunade finally stopped playing pachinko. She turned her head, glanced at the casino owner, her expression calm and unsurprised. "It's nothing, I just came here for some entertainment after get off work. Just treat me like a regular customer."

The casino owner's lips twitched, his heart bleeding. In just a short while, he estimated that the casino had lost three months' worth of revenue.

Continue? Wouldn't that kill him? "Hahaha, how could that be?" He chuckled dryly, then bowed and gestured for him to enter. "You are the Hokage, your presence is an honor to us. Please follow me; I have already prepared fine wine and food. If you don't mind, please come in; it would be our pleasure."

Tsunade knew exactly what this meant—it meant she had to stop gambling. She glanced at the pachinko machine still flashing in front of her, then at the mountain of ball bearing boxes beside her, sighed softly, and stood up.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Also, could you please exchange the money for these steel balls?"

The casino owner breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and his smile finally became more natural. "Of course, please follow me."

This was Tsunade's way of playing the casino. She hadn't had enough yet, but she knew that if she continued, she might never be able to gamble in Konoha again, so she stood up and followed the casino owner to the restaurant.

However, just as Tsunade and Shizune were carrying several boxes of money and preparing to go to dinner, a figure suddenly came running from a distance. The figure was running very fast, breathing heavily and rapidly.

"Lord Hokage! Something terrible has happened!" The voice was hoarse and urgent, sounding particularly jarring on the night street.

Tsunade paused for a moment, turned around, and found a Konoha ninja with an expression full of anxiety and panic.

"What happened? What's wrong?!"

"According to intelligence from the border, Akatsuki has just attacked Kumogakure! They severely injured the Raikage! The Eight-Tails has been captured!"
