Tsunade (Part 1)

Tanzaku Quarters was located north of Konoha and south of the Valley of the End. The country closest to it was a small country called "Land of Rice Fields".

Because it was very far from the frontline battlefield, the Third War did not affect this place. After many years of development, this place had become a small town that was quite lively even though it was not very big.

There were many shops on both sides of the streets of Tanzaku Quarters. There was an endless stream of pedestrians in the middle of the street. The moving small vendors were selling their products along the street. The sound of sales rose and fell, adding a bit of prosperity to Tanzaku Quarters.

The most lively place was the gambling house at the bottom corner of the street. The laughter, shouting, and angry curses in the gambling house were endless. The voices could be heard from a distance.

Most of the people who entered and exited the short street gambling den were men, but this was not absolute. When it was almost noon, a woman arrived at the entrance of the most lively gambling den around.

This woman looked to be about thirty years old, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Her golden hair was tied into a pair of ponytails hanging behind her head.

She was wearing a green coat, and on the back of her clothes was a huge "gamble" character. In her hand was a huge box.

With the arrival of this woman, the entire gambling den instantly quieted down.

After seeing her, the eyes of all the gamblers inside were filled with deep joy. At the same time, there were also a few people who were discussing in low voices.

"She's here, she's here!"

"Could she be the famous 'Legendary Sucker' in the world of gambling?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, it's her. I didn't expect to meet her. The heavens have treated us well!"

Under the happy eyes of the gamblers, this woman suddenly smiled contemptuously. Then, she opened the box in her hand and poured it on the table next to her. In an instant, a large pile of money piled up into a small mountain of money.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the gamblers present became even more heated. The leader walked forward with a smile on his face and bowed to this woman.

"Hehehe, Princess Tsunade, how do you want to play today?"

It turned out that this woman who appeared at this time was none other than Senju Tsunade of the Legendary Sannins!

Tsunade was one of Konoha's Legendary Sannins, but because she lost her important brother in the war and her most beloved lover, Kato Dan, she left Konoha with a cold heart, gambling every day.

It was worth mentioning that Tsunade's gambling luck was very strange. In addition to the bad things, she always lost every bet she made. Any gambler who met her and gambled with her basically became rich overnight!

Because of this, Tsunade's obtained a very famous name - the Legendary Sucker!

Tsunade herself knew this, but she didn't care. When she saw the boss in front of her, she smiled and waved her hand.

"Today, I will be the dealer. I will bet with everyone here!"

As soon as she said this, the faces of all the gamblers present became ecstatic. At this time, they looked at Tsunade as if they were looking at a big fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!

"We are going to be rich this time!" This was the thought of everyone present except Tsunade.

And the truth was just as they had imagined. From the beginning of the bet, they were basically winning without thinking. Soon, everyone divided up all the gambling capital that Tsunade brought. Then, they politely and smilingly sent her out.

"Thank you for your patronage, Princess Tsunade!"

"Princess Tsunade, please take care!"

"Princess Tsunade, come back next time!"

Looking at the gamblers who were respectfully sending her out, a trace of annoyance flashed across Tsunade's face. She immediately snorted, "Hmph, I will definitely win it back next time!"

After saying that, she turned around and left in a huff.

In addition to gambling, Tsunade was also very good at drinking, especially when she was in a bad mood.

She lost the bet this time, so she was naturally in a bad mood. So after leaving the casino, she immediately entered a pub, bought some wine, and drank by herself.

By the time she came out of the pub, she was already drunk.

Walking unsteadily on the road, Tsunade was pondering about the bet just now, and at the same time, she was muttering something.

"Well... Actually, my luck today is quite good. Maybe it's because I didn't play the right card. Which card should I play first? Maybe it's better to play the back card first..."

Just as Tsunade was wondering if there was a problem with her card skill, she suddenly heard a strange and familiar voice behind her.

"Sister... Sister, wait for me!"

Hearing this voice, Tsunade was stunned at first, then she couldn't help but turn her head to look in the direction of the voice.

When she turned her head, she saw a young man in green clothes and a Konoha Ninja on his forehead, about twelve years old running towards her.

Looking at the young man running towards her, Tsunade's eyes suddenly widened, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Nawaki?"

It turned out that the figure running toward Tsunade was none other than Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, who had died in the Second War!

In the Second War, Kawaki had stepped on the enemy's explosive tag trap and died on the spot, and his death was extremely tragic.

The death of Nawaki was a very serious blow to Tsunade, and it was also a wound that could not be healed in her heart.

Although the appearance of Dan allowed Tsunade to temporarily walk out of the pain of her younger brother dying in battle, following Dan's death, this bloody wound was once again torn open. It was even more serious than the last time, and Tsunade also suffered from a phobia of blood.

For Tsunade, no matter if it was her lover, Dan, or her brother, Nawaki, they were all the most important people in her life, the people she dreamed of!

But what she did not expect was that her wish was suddenly realized. The important brother suddenly appeared in front of her and called her sister in her most familiar voice!

Looking at Nawaki running towards her, Tsunade's mind seemed to have a "boom" sound. She rushed up without hesitation and hugged him tightly in her arms. At the same time, she cried out.

"Nawaki, I miss you so much, sob..."

At this moment, Tsunade seemed to have vented all the pain she had suffered for the past few decades.

Just as she was crying, she suddenly found that Nawaki in her arms emitted a burst of white smoke and then turned into a red-haired teenager.

Seeing this scene, Tsunade's crying suddenly stopped, and her face was full of shock.

"Uh... Transformation Jutsu?"
