Chapter 650: Gamblers Are Truly Terrifying

"Madara, you're too good to me!"

At the casino entrance, Senju Hashirama clutched a thick stack of cash in his hand and said cheerfully.

After his incessant pleading, Madara Uchiha finally gave in.

Reluctantly, he produced one hundred thousand taels as betting funds to shut Hashirama up, otherwise the nonstop chatter would be a real headache.

"We agreed, lose all the money again, and I won't give you any more."

Madara Uchiha said expressionlessly.

In his view, giving Hashirama one hundred thousand taels to gamble would inevitably be lost.

With that money, it's better to buy desserts for Quan Nai.

If it were anyone else, he would never give money.

"Haha, no problem!" Senju Hashirama laughed brightly, "I have a feeling I might win today!"

Saying that, he dragged Madara into the casino without further discussion.

Madara Uchiha neither agreed nor disagreed; he just listened to the gambler's words.

When the time comes to lose all the money, that'll be a different attitude.

Not long after they entered, Gangshou came in, lugging two suitcases in a swagger.

Five million has already been credited!

Now it's time to turn the tables.

I have to admit, Uncle Lianye is truly generous; the checks are all for five million.

When I recover my losses, I must treat him to a good meal.

If Lian Ye knew what Gangshou was thinking, he'd probably think he'd never get a meal paid for by Gangshou in his whole life.

The fat sheep at the gambling table is no joke.

"Bad luck…"

Senju Hashirama blinked and lost the one hundred thousand taels, letting out a slightly regretful sigh.

It's unclear what he's regretting.

"Alright, we can go back." Madara Uchiha, holding a bag of desserts, said authoritatively.

His purpose for shopping was to buy Quan Nai's favorite desserts, but Hashirama kept insisting on going to the casino to gamble.

Being truly annoyed, he finally agreed to bring Hashirama to play a couple of rounds.

Now that we've played, we can head back, right?

Though Senju Hashirama was a bit reluctant, having lost all his money, staying here was pointless.

He could only follow Madara out, and return later to try to turn the tables.

Just as the two were about to leave, they saw Gangshou swaggering in.

Hashirama's previously dim eyes suddenly brightened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Xiaogang, you're here too!"

Now there's betting capital to turn the tables!

When I make money, I must treat Madara and the others to a good meal!

Upon seeing Hashirama, Gangshou quickly hid the two suitcases behind her, and asked warily.

"Grandpa, why are you here?!"

That stance was as if fearing the money would be snatched away.

In fact, it was so; Hashirama's eyes lit up the moment he saw Gangshou's hidden suitcases.

Gangshou had that much money, surely she went to Lian Ye for more.

She could finally gamble heartily.

"Xiaogang, could you lend Grandpa some money?"

Senju Hashirama rubbed his hands excitedly, asking with anticipation.

Gangshou: "…"

At this moment, she finally understood what it feels like to be asked for a loan.

Grandpa's gambling skill is lethargic; lending him money only guarantees loss.

Better to keep it and wait for a chance to turn the tables.

Madara Uchiha didn't urge them, just watched the grandfather and grandson quietly.

Both of their gambling skills were lethargic; if it weren't for that kid Lian Ye's support, they'd probably have been scavenging trash by the roadside.

Though Gangshou was reluctant, he was her own grandpa, so she could only symbolically hand over five hundred thousand taels to Hashirama.

"Hehe, Madara, when I win money I'll treat you to a meal!"

Senju Hashirama, clutching the massive five hundred thousand taels, turned back and looked at his dear friend with a grin.

"Grandpa, let's wreak havoc on the gambling table together!" Gangshou, holding four million five hundred thousand taels, declared with great enthusiasm.

Those who didn't know would think they were gambling gods from elsewhere.

People who don't know them are very likely to be fooled.

Unfortunately, in Konoha Village, the deeds of the fat sheep grandfather and grandson have long spread, and every gambler certainly knows them.

As soon as the two sat at the gambling table, a group of wide‑eyed gamblers surrounded them, like hungry wolves eyeing a fat sheep.

At that moment, the two, surrounded, were oblivious and fantasized about turning the tables.

Earlier, Hashirama wasn't surrounded; he just brought too little money.

Now that they know Gangshou carries a fortune, they swarm in, all wanting a share.

Madara Uchiha: "…"

Their gambling skills are terrible, yet they still dream of turning the tables.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will probably lose so badly that they won't have any underwear left…

Gamblers are truly terrifying, especially those who are both inexperienced and love to play.

Laboratory.

"Orochimaru is right inside…"

Lian Ye opened the Laboratory's big door, and after seeing the scene inside, he was at a loss for words.

It turned out that inside there was not only Orochimaru, but also Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai!

He said, "Why didn't I see Quan Nai earlier? Turns out she followed Feijian here!"

"Yuzhibo Quannai, could you stop asking question after question? It's delaying my experiment!"

Qianshou Feijian, irritated by the curious‑baby‑like Quan Nai, said impatiently.

"I didn't ask you, so why such a big reaction?"

Yuzhibo Quannai said irritably.

He was asking about Orochimaru, not Feijian.

Also he didn't disturb his experiment, so why such a big reaction?

He felt that the inherently evil Qianshou Feijian was deliberately provoking him, as if a day without being scolded made him uneasy.

At this moment, Orochimaru looked helpless like a child.

Lian Ye and Sasuke: "…"

The two stood at the doorway, listening to the quarrel.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to speak up and disturb them…

"Lian Ye Teacher!" Orochimaru saw Lian Ye at the doorway and instantly seemed to see a savior.

Their endless arguing in the Laboratory made it impossible for him to focus on his experiment.

Finally he understood why Lord Feijian had rarely come to the Laboratory these past three years.

With Yuzhibo Quannai present, he couldn't concentrate on his research at all.

The two, who usually bicker, stopped when they saw Lian Ye and Sasuke arrive.

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

Qianshou Feijian said, glancing at the Uchiha Sasuke behind him.

Another member of the Uchiha Clan—how did this kid end up mixed with the Uchiha?

It must be the inherently evil Yuzhibo Quannai who coaxed him!

It seems we'll have to keep an eye on him from now on.

"I'm here to ask Orochimaru for a favor," Lian Ye said with a smile.

Orochimaru, with a look of a post‑disaster survivor, hurried to Lian Ye's side.

"Lian Ye Teacher, what task do you have for me?"

As long as he doesn't have to listen to their quarrel again, he's happy to serve the teacher.

"It's not a big deal, just help him fix a arm."

Lian Ye pointed at Sasuke's severed arm and said.

Orochimaru's scrutinizing gaze fell on Sasuke, and he felt a bit surprised.

"By the way, he has the Rinnegan."

Orochimaru: "!!!"

Lian Ye Teacher is truly wonderful; such a hefty job is now his own!

Now that he's cultivating an arm, drawing a few tubes of your blood as samples isn't too much, right!
