Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 44 The God of Gamblers of Tanabata Street

Short Book Street.

This is the largest den of iniquity in the Land of Fire, with casinos lining the streets and a glittering, decadent atmosphere.

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol and desire.

Inside the largest casino, the place was bustling with noise.

Amidst the swirling smoke, a group of gamblers gathered around a huge gambling table and began their game.

Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at the shaking dice cup.

"Big! Big! Big!"

"Small! It must be small!"

The sound was deafening. In the center of the crowd sat a blonde woman.

She was wearing a green robe with a large "gambling" character printed on the back.

She has a hot figure and fair skin, and looks like she's only in her twenties, but her actual age is of course much older.

Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin, is also a descendant of Hashirama Senju and one of the few remaining members of the Senju clan.

At this moment, veins bulged on her forehead, and she tightly gripped her last chip.

"All in on the big one!"

Tsunade slammed the chips on the table.

"Lady Tsunade..."

The silent girl behind him looked utterly hopeless.

"That's our last bit of travel money... If we lose, we'll really be sleeping on the streets..."

"Shut up!" Tsunade said without turning her head.

"I have a feeling we can turn this around! If we win this game, we can pay off all our previous debts!"

This is the standard line every gambler says before they die. It's obvious that Tsunade has also fallen for it, and she seems determined to keep going until she's completely defeated.

The dealer is a one-eyed man.

He looked at Tsunade with a greedy smile.

This fat sheep has been losing money on Tanabata Street for three days and three nights. He's practically a walking ATM. This is much more tempting than doing other shady business, and it's all voluntary on his part.

"Place your order now!"

The dealer finally lifted the dice cup, and the three dice lay there quietly.

One, two, three, that's six o'clock, small.

"A complete sweep!"

The dealer shouted and grabbed all the chips on the table.

Tsunade was stunned. She stared blankly at the empty desk in front of her, completely bewildered.

I lost, I lost again, and now I've lost even my last bit of money.

The surrounding gamblers burst into laughter.

"This is the legendary fat sheep."

"He always loses at gambling; his reputation is well-deserved."

"Haha, looks like we're going to see the legendary Three Ninjas sleeping under the bridge today."

Laughter rose and fell; if it weren't for the fact that these people were ordinary citizens, she probably would have already taken action against them.

But this anger was irrepressible, and Tsunade's body began to move; in the end, she couldn't bear it any longer.

"asshole!"

She immediately stood up, and her terrifying strength erupted instantly. If she couldn't hit anyone, couldn't she at least vent her anger on objects?

So she attacked whatever she saw, slamming her fist on the gambling table.

The gambling table, made of solid wood and weighing several hundred kilograms, shattered instantly.

Wood chips flew everywhere, shooting in all directions like bullets.

The gamblers screamed and fled in terror, truly afraid that this madwoman had gone completely insane; none of them present were a match for her.

The dealer didn't even bother to pick up the chips; he ran away as fast as anyone else, perhaps even resenting his parents for not giving him two more legs.

Just then, the casino's curtain was lifted.

A white-haired man walked in; it was Jiraiya.

He was about to greet them when a flying table leg forced him back.

"Wow!"

Jiraiya dodged to the side, glancing at the wood deeply embedded in the wall, and wiped away a cold sweat.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had been blasted over a hundred meters away by Tsunade, a memory that left a deep impression on me.

"Tsunade, you still have such a fiery temper."

Tsunade turned her head and saw Jiraiya. Instead of the joy of reuniting with an old friend, it fueled Tsunade's anger.

"Jiraiya? It's you."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

"What are you doing here? Did the old man send you to drag me back? Or are you here to borrow money from me?"

"Let me tell you, I have no money! You can take my life or not!"

She immediately adopted a "dead pig doesn't care about boiling water" attitude, completely displaying the shamelessness of a deadbeat, and embodying the attitude of "what can you do to me?" to the fullest extent.

Jiraiya could only manage a wry smile.

"I'm not here to borrow money. I'm here to..."

Before he could finish speaking, a black figure emerged from behind Jiraiya.

He completely ignored the terrified gamblers around him, as well as the sawdust and mess all over the ground; these people and things were unimportant.

A black trench coat, golden-red hair, Naruto Uzumaki.

Without saying a word, he walked straight up to Tsunade.

They are very close.

At this distance, especially when facing a Kage-level powerhouse, it is extremely dangerous.

If Tsunade wanted to, she could smash his head open with a single punch, leaving him no time to react.

But Naruto didn't stop.

There was no awe in his eyes for the so-called legendary Sannin, nor any appreciation for the beautiful woman.

Although Naruto is young, he has developed quite a bit of courage, while Tsunade seems to be in debt.

"Kid?"

Tsunade frowned.

The way the strange boy looked at her made her very uncomfortable, as if she were being stared at by a cold-blooded animal.

"Who are you? What do you want? Didn't your parents tell you that staring at people like that is very impolite?"

Naruto didn't say anything, he just put his hand inside his clothes.

Tsunade's eyes narrowed, and she immediately switched to a fighting stance.

But what Naruto pulled out wasn't a kunai, an explosive tag, or any other hidden weapon; it was just a piece of paper.

This is a table of Konoha's fiscal deficit (including funds embezzled by three generations), kindly provided by store manager Roy.

Naruto slammed the paper onto the table.

"Tsunade Senju?"

Naruto finally spoke.

"I heard you are the granddaughter of the First Hokage and are also known as the princess of Konoha."

Tsunade paused for a moment. Wasn't this the truth? What was the point of repeating it again?

"So what if it is?"

Naruto pointed to the piece of paper.

"This is the bill for Hiruzen Sarutobi's embezzlement of my father's estate."

"And Konoha's current financial hole."

"The daimyo has ordered budget cuts, and if the situation cannot be reversed, the village could go bankrupt at any time."

Naruto didn't mention the Daimyo's decision to suspend the reduction measures, just to put enough pressure on Tsunade.

Tsunade glanced at the numbers on the paper, and even she was shocked by what she saw; even the Heavenly King himself probably couldn't save them.

Three hundred million taels, all in deficit.

"What does this have to do with me?" Tsunade sneered. "I've already left Konoha. Let whoever wants to deal with that mess take care of it; just don't come after me."

"Who said it doesn't matter? It really does matter."

Naruto stared into Tsunade's eyes.

"Because of this debt, Konoha can't pay it back."

"The Third Hokage is finished, and Danzo has been purged. The two of them are now cellmates."

"You're the only one who can repay this debt right now."

"You are the sole heir of the Senju clan."

As the saying goes, debts don't die with a person. Sons pay their fathers' debts, and grandsons pay their grandfathers' debts.

"It's only right that you pay this debt."

An awkward silence fell over the room.

Silent was so frightened that she covered her mouth.

Jiraiya stood behind and sighed, "This kid really fears nothing."

This kid... is too aggressive, he's pressing for repayment right off the bat?

This is Tsunade, the kind of person who can smash a mountain with one punch!

Tsunade was so angry she laughed.

"ha?"

"You want me to pay you back?"

"Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

A terrifying pressure of chakra erupted from her, making the surrounding atmosphere oppressive.

An ordinary person would have been intimidated by his imposing presence, but Naruto, though seemingly unmoved, was actually barely holding on, his hands trembling behind his back.

Red chakra faintly emanated from his body; it was the aura of the Nine-Tails.

Even if it's violent and hateful, and seems evil to the world, it doesn't matter.

"I know."

Naruto said coldly.

"I'm talking to a gambler who's lost all his money and is just trying to escape reality."

"I wonder who is the coward who couldn't even save his own brother and lover."

The word "coward" was taboo for her, and it reopened her deepest wounds.

She looked into the wild eyes of the boy before her and sensed the ominous Nine-Tails chakra.

She suddenly didn't know what to do. The other party was just a teenager, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to just beat him to a pulp, but she was still furious if she didn't teach this brat a lesson.

Tsunade had heard of the Nine-Tails before, but was this the same Naruto who was rumored to only play pranks and be silly?

He looks like a debt collector who crawled out of hell.

It's like they think, "I only care about money, I don't care about my life."
