Chapter 196 Helping Tsunade Win at Roulette and Heading to the Battlefield (3k)
However, Kiyoshi possesses strength, talent, and good looks.
I remained humble.
"Kiyoshi looks a bit like an uncle."
Silent secret passage.
When his uncle, Kato Dan, was still alive, he was just as gentle and talented.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel to this talented man; he died young on the battlefield.
He himself could not learn his signature ninjutsu, "Spirit Transformation Technique".
After his uncle died, that kind of ninjutsu was buried in Konoha, and no one was able to learn it.
Just like the space-time ninjutsu "Flying Thunder God Technique" left by the Second Hokage, if it weren't for Minato Namikaze as his successor who learned it, there probably wouldn't be another person in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who could learn it.
"Puyo~ Puyo~~ Pupuyo~~"
A pink pig, wearing a red top and a pearl necklace, makes a sound.
"It's not what you think, Tonton."
Jingyin quickly picked up the little pig from the ground and told her that she didn't think that way.
"Puyou?"
Tun Tun turned her head and neck, causing her silver-white pearl necklace to roll.
Seeing her clearly disbelieving expression, Shizune felt a surge of embarrassment and anger, and quickened her pace.
"When Lady Tsunade's creditors come to collect their debts again, I'll pawn you off."
She pretended to be fierce with her silent little face.
"Puyou..."
Tun Tun's voice suddenly became much softer, as if she was saying, "Don't do that."

Kiyoshi walked along the street for a while and soon found a small alley.
Several flags were placed outside the alley, with a large "gambling" character written on them.
Needless to say, this is what is known as a casino.
Kiyoshi lifted the outer curtain, revealing a dimly lit interior.
The air was filled with a faint smell of tobacco and alcohol, mixed together, which was quite pungent.
He stepped inside and heard a noisy commotion coming from within.
Some people shouted loudly, while others cursed softly. The chips clattered against the gambling table, occasionally punctuated by the muffled sound of dice rolling.
The gamblers sat around their respective gambling tables, their eyes burning with desire, their hands clutching their last chips.
Kiyoshi was visiting a place like this for the first time. He glanced around, and his terrifying insight quickly located Tsunade's location.
A group of people had gathered around the table, and the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
Kiyoshi didn't go over immediately, but instead used his Sharingan to observe the gamblers.
One of the Sharingan's abilities is "copying"!
The higher the pupil power, the higher the efficiency.
Before long, Kiyoshi touched a gambling table and observed its internal structure.
Once he had made up his mind, he walked toward Tsunade's gambling table.
Tsunade clenched her fists, her face contorted with rage.
"Are you guys cheating? How can I keep losing?"
"Oh dear, Lady Tsunade, who would dare to lie to you?"
The gambler opposite her was terrified when he saw Tsunade's clenched fist, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The legendary fat sheep was indeed a fat sheep.
They lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as soon as they entered the game, and it was obvious to the naked eye that they would win if they continued gambling.
This fat sheep has a bad temper; if you anger him, he might just punch someone to death!
Although there has never been such a precedent so far, no one would want to gamble their life on the magnanimity of the Three Ninjas.
"Hmph, let's go again!"
Tsunade placed a new chip on top.
She had already made up her mind that if she lost too badly later, she would just run to the meeting place at noon to carry out her mission and use it as an excuse to escape her debts.
"it is good."
The gambler opposite also placed new chips on the table.
Count me in.
Kiyoshi took a chip from the table next to Tsunade and placed it in the leftmost slot.
The game is simple; they play roulette, which usually has 37 or 38 numbers. The dealer is responsible for hitting the ball on the spinning roulette wheel, and the number the ball lands on is the winning number.
"Kid, you..."
Tsunade was about to scold who was so bold as to take her bargaining chips.
And that was her last bargaining chip!
The first thing I saw when I looked up was Kiyoshi's handsome face.
"There's still a while before the noon meeting. I'll give you your share of the winnings afterward, Lady Tsunade."
"...A kid like you who knows absolutely nothing about gambling shouldn't even think about it."
Tsunade's anger subsided immediately.
Yesterday, Konoha also told her about the mission, explaining the mission objectives and information clearly.
We agreed to meet at noon.
As a result, she is still gambling.
Their momentum was undoubtedly weaker.
"You don't mind me interfering, do you?"
Kiyoshi smiled slightly and looked at the gamblers gathered there.
"It's... the Uchiha clan, the family crest on the back."
"Another ninja. Aside from Lady Tsunade, it seems like other Konoha ninjas rarely come here. Don't they have some kind of Three Commandments for Ninjas?"
"Why should you concern yourself with these things? What right do you have to interfere in the affairs of those ninja masters?"
The gamblers whispered among themselves, showing no opposition to Qing Si's involvement.
Anyway, Tsunade is the main character who drops gold coins here.
It doesn't matter if one more person gets a share.
They've already made enough money.
We can use this money to try other gambling games later.
The thriving gambling industry today includes more than just roulette-based gambling.
There are also card games, dice games, and so on.
Even electronic gambling devices like slot machines exist.
When Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and their group went to Tanabata Street to look for Tsunade, she won a lot of money from the slot machine.
This was one of the few times Tsunade won money.
Upon seeing this, the dealer started the machine.
As the roulette wheel on the table slowly turned, the beads jumped and slid within it, reflecting the dim yellow light and making one's eyes dizzy.
At the same time, Kiyoshi's fingertips twitched slightly.
A thin, almost invisible line of chakra emerged from Kiyoshi's fingertip.
The faint, transparent chakra threads touched the area under the table.
No one noticed Kiyoshi's subtle movement.
Even Tsunade didn't notice this.
The chakra fluctuations in that faint, transparent line were extremely subtle.
This technique of condensing "chakra threads" is an art he learned from puppetry.
The puppet techniques he learned from Sasori using Sharingan genjutsu were all secrets of the Sand Village.
Their skill in condensing "chakra threads" is naturally far superior to that of other ninja villages.
Once it touched the bottom of the table, the chakra seeped in along the wood grain of the tabletop, spreading like water, and reaching the mechanism at the bottom of the roulette wheel.
Then, under Kiyoshi's subtle control, the chakra vibrated exquisitely, subtly influencing the trajectory of the roulette wheel.
The bead's landing point should have been random, but at this moment, it shifted due to Kiyoshi's intervention and finally came to a steady stop on the square Kiyoshi had bet on.
The noise inside the casino seemed to pause for a moment, then erupted into a gasp.
"You won?!"
Tsunade's eyes widened.
A kid who just started gambling won on his first try?
Such good luck?
"Let's continue."
Kiyoshi bet all the chips he had won.
The dealer glanced at Tsunade, then at the other gamblers, and began the next round.
The gamblers around him just assumed that Kiyoshi was lucky because he was new to the area.
They all continued to place new bets with great enthusiasm.
"Kid, give me back the chips you took."
Tsunade extended her hand.
I'm afraid that Kiyoshi will lose all his chips this time.
A single chip can cost a lot of cash to exchange.
That's enough for her to drink a few more times.
"I'll give it to you in a moment."
Kiyoshi shook his head.
Then look at the results on the table.
The roulette wheel kept spinning, eventually pointing to the table where Kiyoshi was located.
Kiyoshi then took all his winnings and placed them in a form.
Once... twice... three times...
Each time, the clerk would bet everything to win more money.
Before long, his table was piled high with chips of various colors.
"This Uchiha... is not simple."
"Is he cheating?!"
"I don't believe anyone can be that lucky!"
"That must mean they have a deep understanding of the probabilities of roulette. They should reflect on their own actions first."
Some people marveled at Qing Si's luck, while others confidently asserted that Qing Si's success was due to his exceptional gambling skills.
Some people also believe that Kiyoshi cheated.
He did indeed cheat.
After winning a certain amount, Kiyoshi stopped.
Winning too much will attract attention, and inevitably, ninjas who specialize in investigating this aspect will come to investigate.
Kiyoshi's ability to win so many points this time was mainly due to his unexpectedness, as well as his excellent control over chakra and his skill in creating chakra threads.
For other ninjas to replicate Kiyoshi's actions, they would need to be extremely skilled puppeteers.
Even Gaara's older brother Kankuro might not be able to do that, unless it's Kankuro in his thirties from Boruto, who might be able to try.
"Exchange everything for cash."
Qing Si pointed to the chips and gave instructions to the dealers on site.
"Uh...yes."
The croupier, sweating profusely, quickly bent down and nodded, snapping out of his daze.
The commotion attracted a crowd of people from several nearby gambling tables, who marveled at the scene.
Qing Si ignored these people and listened to the prompts on the entry panel.
He grasped a new term—[Gambling Mastery (Green)]
The requirement is to cheat 10 times in a row during a gambling game without being detected.
The effect is that the concealment of hand movements is increased by 20% compared to the original level.
It's a pretty good entry.
At least Kiyoshi was able to launch a surprise attack when drawing his shuriken against an enemy.
"I was able to win so much because I benefited from Lady Tsunade's luck, after all, these were the chips I got from you."
When the croupier brought over a pile of money, Kiyoshi gave half of it to Tsunade.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, then burst into laughter. "See? I knew my luck couldn't stay this bad forever!"
With a beaming smile, Tsunade unceremoniously took half of it and stuffed it into her sealing scroll.
Having accumulated such a huge debt, Tsunade accepted any money that came her way.
She patted Qing Si on the shoulder and said with the appreciation of someone who had been through it all:
"Not bad, not bad, I have high hopes for you, Kiyoshi."
Unbeknownst to Tsunade, the little brat she kept mentioning had been replaced with Kiyoshi's name.
From Kiyoshi's perspective, one can see the rounded, trembling heart beneath her slender waist.
The human heart is round and vast; this is what is meant by breadth of mind.
Kiyoshi kept the remaining half of the money.
The money sent from the Land of Demons has already been almost entirely spent.
He had previously visited the Land of Demons during the war for a resupply.
It seems I'll have to make time to go again.
Winning money gambling repeatedly will eventually arouse suspicion.
Unless Kiyoshi triggers more gambling-related terms, such as a few terms that increase gambling luck.
