34 Haemophobia (1/2)

Seeing Naruto's mountain of chips the gamblers easily made a place for him to sit and welcomed him in warm spirits. But unlike the gamblers, both Tsunade and Shizune straightened up sensing the vast amount of Chakra being radiated from Naruto.

But since they didn't want to create any scene there, they stayed alert of Naruto and continued to sit in the side. Shizune wanted to leave but Tsunade decided to stay and watch Naruto due to curiosity as it was hard to find someone with such massive Chakra pool.

Though she could only stay inside and watch as she was very close to being broke. It was about time she used Shizune as free labor to treat someone and bring some cash to her pockets.

The Gambling game was called Cho-han which was played using two dice shaken in a bamboo cup by a dealer and people would bet on a high or low number. Depending on situations players could also act as the house and accept the bets of other players.

With Naruto joining the game, the players decided to let the dealer shake the dice few rounds and later the one with the most winnings would act as the dealer.

Naruto had transformed into a middleaged man and before he entered the gambling house he had activated his Eagle Vision to help him cheat. Under the effect of transformation, his golden eyes had turned into ordinary brown color but its perk was there.

It wasn't possible to look through a wall with his vision but the vision was powerful enough to see through thin objects such as the bamboo cup. With his cheat, Naruto played many games winning and losing at a ranbom pace slightly increasing his mountain of chips but not enough to draw the attention of others.

Within a few hours, his chips increased at a steady pace while few of the players stood up to leave as they lost. The game wasn't interesting as Naruto kept his mouth shut occasionally reply to the players but most of the time he put his mind in the game.

Naruto did it intentionally as he wanted to end the game as soon as possible and leave to talk with Tsunade later on. Seeing players had started to leave Naruto increased his pace of winning and soon there were only 3 players left in the game and few bystanders cracking jokes on the side.

The remaining 2 players beside Naruto were left with few chips so they decided to get out of the game trying to find their luck in other rooms. Naruto picked up his chips and went to exchange them into Ryo in the reception hall.

Naruto was able to earn a total of 50,000 Ryo and few extra changes that was worth nothing in front of the fresh paper note that he held in his hands. Naruto left the gambling house in smiles as he noticed Tsunade and Shizune following him in slowly.

Seeing that they had started to follow him Naruto headed towards a restaurant and sat down on an empty table. Shizune and Tsunade entered the restaurant a few minutes later trying to act normal but just as they were going to sit on the table a few steps away from Naruto he called them out.

”Tsunade, Shizune since you've already come why don't we share a table,” Naruto said with a smile waving at them. They were surprised at first but decided to accept his invitation after some thought.

”So, why are you looking for us?” Tsunade went straight to business.

”Isn't it the other way around since you've been following me from all the way from Gambling house?” Naruto said looking over the menu.

”Oh please, let's skip the who came for the who game and focus on the real matter. No Shinobi would leak out their Chakra in such a brazen manner. You wanted us to follow you. So who are you and what do you want?” Tsunade replied in a serious manner.

”I need you to treat someone, I'm willing to pay you a considerable sum. As you've seen earlier, I've no lack of money” Naruto said putting his winning in the table.

”I don't treatments anymore but Shizune is my apprentice and is as capable as me. I'm sure she can satisfy your request.” Tsunade said looking at the fat pile of cash on the table.

”Don't you think, you've mourned enough Tsunade. I'm pretty sure Dan and Nawaki would be sad to see what has become of you.” Naruto said shaking his head.

”Who the hell are you to judge me, prick? You don't know what I've been through. let's go Shizune we're done here.” Tsunade reacted hardly on Naruto's comment and stood up to leave. As for how Naruto knew of her story she didn't really care at the moment.
