CHAPTER 3 : Bet with Tsunade

🎉🎉A round of applause for the new patron: Astro!!!!🎉🎉

-----------

The temperature of the girl's face rose another degree and is still rising.

  With a light blush on her face, Tsunade felt like a deflated balloon. Although the anger in her heart was still there, the sweetness in her mouth didn't give her room to vent.

  After staring at Chiba for a moment, Tsunade could only sit down again, but the moment he sat down, he seemed to hear the sound of glass breaking on the floor.

  In an instant, Tsunade's eyebrows shot up and her bright brown eyes blinked as she looked around.

  She saw the strange and envious expressions on the faces of most of the girls in the class. Even though she couldn't understand what was happening, it didn't stop her from raising the corners of her mouth.

  With a faint smile, the anger in Tsunade's heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable joy.

  After feeling happy for a while, Tsunade remembered what Chiba, who was sitting silently next to her, had done.

  "Who asked you to put candy in my mouth!"

  "Although the way I did it was a little inappropriate, you are much happier now than before, aren't you?"

   Chiba did not respond directly

"So, do you believe me now? One candy can really make a person happy, and if one isn't enough, two will do."

Hearing Chiba's explanation, Tsunade remembered her earlier anger, and how she quickly calmed down after having candy in her mouth.

  Remembering this, a smile inadvertently appeared on her face.

  The sound of shattering glass seemed to have sounded throughout the room again, and the faces of some of the boys in the room turned green.

  If they had known that Tsunade also liked sweets, they would have bought them from stores in Konoha, to give to her when they were coming to the ninja academy.

  {Damn, we ended up letting that annoying guy get the better of us!}

  But no matter what the jealous boys around her thought, Chiba felt very comfortable in her heart.

  The relationship between him and Tsunade has obviously progressed a bit.

  Although it's not much, it's already much better than at the beginning when he talked to her. He is obviously very satisfied with the current development.

  After all, he will still have plenty of time in the future...

  The self-introduction in the classroom continued for a while longer, but there was no more noise like when Chiba and Tsunade introduced themselves. Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief.

  But when his eyes turned to Chiba and Tsunade, who looked like normal people, Masahiro got another headache.

The two problems seemed to have merged into one, he could already imagine that he couldn't have a little calm in the future, besides Tsunade's identity was of high importance.

  As soon as the self-introductions of the students in the class ended, Masahiro found a reason to let the students move freely, while sneaking out of the classroom, he silently went to Senju Tobirama to ask some questions.

  During extracurricular activities, the boys in the class did their best to show off their presence in front of Tsunade like crazy, while Chiba sat calmly and didn't care at all about what they did.

  These children pose no threat to him.

  So why should he be nervous?

  After silently watching the good shows, Chiba finally couldn't take it anymore and prepared to deal a critical blow to these boys.

  If Chiba doesn't mind the constant presence in front of him, Tsunade does!

  "Hey! Tsunade, do you want a real fight?"

  "A real fight?" Tsunade raised her head, and looked at him with confused eyes.

"A real fight for what?"

Tsunade asked doubtfully.

"In gambling?"

"Of course that's it."

  "It is possible?"

  Tsunade's brown eyes suddenly lit up, and Chiba seemed to have a glow of her own.

"Of course it is possible. I also have a deep knowledge of this art. Know that I have never lost in any bet."

Hearing what Chiba said, Tsunade wasn't fazed in the slightest, her momentum wasn't weak. Her fighting spirit was incredible.

"I'm the one who will win all the bets!" Tsunade stated arrogantly.

  "I bet you a sweetie you won't win any."

Tsunade's little face suddenly swelled and she grabbed Chiba's hand, dragging him and running out of the classroom.

  CRACK!

  It was as if thunder exploded in the classroom. The boys who were trying to express themselves staggered when they saw this, with despair and helplessness in their eyes.

  {They held hands!?}

  {Why the hell did they hold hands!?}

  {Is there any justice in this world!?}

{They're just sweets!! If we had too...} 

  Likewise, the situation of a group of girls was not much better than that of the boys.

  His eyes were so cloudy that it would make a person afraid.

---------

  "Okay, let's do it here!"

  However, in the meantime, Tsunade and Chiba don't care about the situation in the classroom. They want to enjoy their free time to play!

  "Then? What are you going to bet?" Chiba said softly

"As I said before, I bet my favorite candy that you won't get any."

  "I have money!"

  Tsunade said and from her pocket she took out a stack of bills. Based on the thickness, it should be at least 10,000 ryos.

  She quickly counted out five bills and handed them to Chiba. The skillful movements made Chiba's heart beat faster. Tsunade definitely played a lot during the week!

  {This wasteful...}

  {No, today Tsunade is the goddess of Wealth.}

  Smiling Chiba said.

"Tsunade, I don't have money to bet."

  "I will lend it to you and you can pay it back at any time! But if you lose too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay me back."

  "Nonsense! I'm too confident in my gaming skills!" Chiba didn't panic and even mocked a little.

"You better not lose too much."

  "Nonsense! I have studied this book thoroughly and I will definitely win every bet!"

  In a very professional manner Tsunade shook her head and said, "I bet 1,000 Ryos. And you?"

  Bang.

  Tsunade placed the cup down confidently, her little face flushed with excitement and her bright brown eyes widened. As she slowly lifted the cup with her little hands, she bent down and looked inside.

  "Hahaha, four, four, six, that's fourteen points!"

  Tsunade smiled happily, as if she had a chance to win "I'll up the ante, dare you follow!"

  "Clear!"

Chiba didn't hesitate to up the ante.

"But if you increase the bet right now, if you lose..."

  Tsunade nodded repeatedly, as if she had already seen Chiba losing the bet and finally winning a lot of money.

  With insistence in her eyes, Tsunade motioned for Chiba to roll the dice quickly. Chiba was obviously in no mood to lose, even though the chance of that was extremely low.

Then, using certain 'methods' he manipulated the data inside the cup.

  And with just two or three shakes, Chiba placed the cup on the floor and at the same time raised his head to meet Tsunade's excited eyes.

  With a mischievous smile, Chiba raised the glass and saw that Tsunade's eyes suddenly shrunk and her previously cheerful expression gradually became serious.

  "Six six six, eighteen points." Tsunade counted the dots seriously, but the shaky sound in her tone couldn't be hidden.

"Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!"

{Why did I feel déjà vu when she said that? OK, forget about it.}

"Let's go again!"

Chiba extended his hand.

  Tsunade was a little shocked by Chiba's move, but since she was having a lot of fun with this game, she was willing to admit defeat this time.

Although reluctant, she still counted the money she lost and handed it over to Chiba.

  But when she handed over the money, Tsunade didn't forget to remind him.

"Remember, you still owe me money!"   

  "Don't worry, I'll pay you later and I'll still pay you interest."

Her face was full of cuteness, this surprised Chiba for a moment.

  Thud!

  The sound of the glass hitting the floor sounded again.
