Amidst the commotion, many bare-chested burly men, armed with weapons, came running from all directions, starting to search the streets near the casino for that legendary Super Sucker.
After all, a reward of one hundred thousand ryo was tempting enough, not to mention hearing that this Super Sucker was also a woman of considerable looks.
Money!
Women!
And a great beauty at that!
The legendary Super Sucker touched on all the points men were most interested in. So the local thugs and ruffians were all exceptionally excited, rolling up their sleeves to search, afraid someone else would snatch the opportunity to get rich.
'The legendary Super Sucker?'
Sora, however, stood steadfast in place, watching the swarm of burly men sweeping the area, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.
'It couldn't be this coincidental, could it?'
In the surroundings, many people were also watching the spectacle.
Many town residents seemed long accustomed to such scenes. So not only were they unafraid, some even approached the casino enforcers, asking questions.
Among the crowd, there was a girl buying fried dumplings by the street.
She looked only eleven or twelve years old, with light yellow hair tied into a ponytail at the back, revealing a fair, tender, innocent, and cute pretty face.
Her figure also looked very girlish, somewhat unremarkable, yet it particularly attracted Sora's gaze.
At this time, that ponytailed girl was grinning cheekily, talking to the fried dumpling vendor beside her. She chattered cheerfully for a long time before seemingly convincing the vendor to give her five and get one free, waiving the cost of one skewer.
Then,
The girl, holding the unfinished fried dumplings, casually passed by the sweeping casino enforcers and headed into the distance.
'This...'
'Isn't that Tsunade?'
Sora chuckled lightly.
The world was truly small.
He actually encountered one of Konoha's Sannin, Tsunade, who had left Konoha early and lived in seclusion, in this very town!!!
Soon, Sora's figure vanished into the crowd, heading in the direction Tsunade had left.
Half an hour later, at another luxurious casino in Matsuyu Town.
Bang!
The casino door was suddenly kicked open violently.
Then, a woman wearing a green shortcoat with a large [Gamble] character on the back, carrying two large boxes of money, charged into the casino with an extremely arrogant air.
"Hahahahaha..."
"Today is an auspicious day, my luck has arrived!!!"
The woman had a very strong presence. The moment she entered the casino, she swept her gaze around contemptuously. The two large bags of money on her shoulders were her greatest confidence at this moment.
"Wow!"
"It's the legendary Super Sucker!"
"So much money!"
"Holy crap, the Super Sucker is this beautiful?"
"Buddy, I advise you not to have any improper thoughts. This woman is very violent. She might be a Super Sucker at the gambling table, but if you try any underhanded tricks outside the casino, she'll probably teach you how to write the character for 'death'!!!"
"Really? Such a delicate beauty, is she really that terrifying?"
"Tch, country bumpkin, haven't you heard? This is Konoha's Elite Jonin, Tsunade. She's just addicted to gambling. But no matter how much she gambles, she's still a powerful Ninja. Are you sure you can take down a Jonin?"
"A Jonin? Good heavens..."
Upon hearing this, some gamblers' faces instantly turned pale, and they trembled as they hid within the crowd.
Now,
Tsunade, carrying two large bags of money, strode in with her head held high. Her stunningly beautiful face bore an expression of arrogance that didn't match it.
Step by step, her presence also increased.
Finally,
Tsunade walked up to the dice table and directly threw the two large bags of money onto the table.
"Come on!"
"Let's gamble!"
Tsunade slapped the table with boundless daring.
"Good!"
"Great presence!"
Some gamblers also cheered loudly.
"Gambling is all about presence! Lost last time, definitely win back this time! Whose child cries every day? What gambler loses every single time!"
"Well said!"
Hearing this, Tsunade immediately became excited: "Today is the day I recoup my losses, I've had my eye on it for a long time!!!"
As she spoke, Tsunade didn't notice a rather plain-looking middle-aged man suddenly sitting down beside her.
It was Sora, who had changed his appearance using a Reiatsu Transformation Technique.
Just now, before entering the casino, he had knocked out two gamblers outside who were trying to rob others and took two million ryo in gambling funds from them, planning to skim some profit from Tsunade.
Since she was the legendary Super Sucker, she'd lose to anyone, so why not lose to him?
What followed was simple…
Bet against Tsunade, and riches await.
If the Super Sucker bets big, Sora bets small.
If the Super Sucker bets small, Sora bets big.
Soon, Tsunade lost over ten million ryo, while the two million ryo in Sora's hands had unnoticeably become fifteen million ryo. A huge win!
After that, Tsunade, now fully immersed, went all-in, and was again countered by Sora's bet, losing the last twenty million plus ryo in her hands completely.
Most of her money now ended up in Sora's pocket.
'Thirty-three million ryo...'
Sora looked at the pile of cash stacked like a small hill before him and suddenly felt pensive, 'Such a huge sum was probably enough to buy Asuma's head in the future, wasn't it?'
"You bastard!"
After losing all her money, Tsunade finally reacted. She slammed the table, angrily, and roared at Sora beside her: "You scoundrel, are you using me as a beacon!???"
Betting against her every time, and making a killing!
Even the loan she took from the casino ended up in this man's hands!!!
"Is that not allowed?"
Sora casually pulled out a thousand-ryo bill, handed it to a nearby casino attendant, and had them exchange all this cash for easily portable checks.
"Just you wait, I'll win it back one day!"
Tsunade got up in a huff and headed for the door.
Afterwards, Sora also took the checks and followed her out.
"Is it him?"
"It's him!"
"Over thirty million ryo, and a new face, probably an outsider!"
"Take him out, destroy the body and eliminate the traces..."
As soon as he stepped out, several gamblers with sinister expressions set their sights on the new 'Super Sucker' Sora. They had seen Sora win a huge amount and had no intention of letting this 'plain-looking' middle-aged man leave with the huge sum.
They didn't dare to rob Tsunade, but that didn't mean others could leave the casino alive with money!
The few men followed Sora's footsteps from a distance into an unmanned dark alley.
These gamblers were clearly not ordinary people, as they moved almost silently, clearly having some Ninja foundation.
"Hand over the checks, and we might spare your life!"
After entering the dark alley, the gamblers also showed their ferocious nature. Five of them blocked the alley entrance from both ends, and a leader, holding a worn kunai, approached Sora's position.
"Robbery?"
Sora asked with interest.
"Heh, are you blind?"
The leader said with a fierce expression: "Hand over the money quickly, otherwise, you will definitely die here!"
"I doubt it."
Sora smiled faintly.
"You're dead!"
The leading gambler, holding the kunai, directly stabbed towards Sora's throat.
His movements were extremely agile, estimated to be at the Genin-level.
Facing this Rogue Ninja's attack, Sora remained motionless. He just watched everything happen calmly.
Then,
Just as that kunai was about to strike Sora…
Whoosh!
A figure flickered into existence.
Bang!
Under the eruption of monstrous strength, the Rogue Ninja who tried to attack Sora was directly punched into the wall by the newcomer, his entire body concaved in from the impact of the monstrous strength.
