Chapter 157: , Don't Think About Leaving Until You've Won Me Dry

In the room, the gambling game had officially begun.

In this gambling game, winning or losing was actually not the key; the key was whether one could obtain the identities and information of the three people in front of them through the progress of the game.

Of course, if one could win, no one wanted to lose.

That is to say, the ultimate goal of the gambling game was, first, to achieve victory, and second, to take the opportunity to obtain the other party’s information.

Except for the chubby youth who looked somewhat honest, the remaining few all took the opportunity of the gambling game to observe their opponents, wanting to know their opponents' background.

Because the gambling table in front of them was specially made, once someone channeled chakra into the table, attempting to cheat in the game, the table would emit a light.

This was considered a means used in the ninja world to prevent ninjas from cheating in gambling.

Of course, being unable to use chakra to influence the game didn't mean that ninjas had no other ways.

If ninjas wanted to cheat, it was simply too easy.

But because the participants in this gambling game were all ninjas, shallow cheating methods were too easy to be seen through, so this tested everyone’s methods even more.

Soon, the gambling game officially began.

The way everyone gambled was not complicated; it was a gameplay similar to the "Zha Jin Hua" (Three-Card Poker) of later generations.

Ryosuke seemed to have anticipated that the next part would be a wonderful gambling duel bridge comparable to a movie.

The masters on the table showed their magical powers, winning with superb gambling skills and cheating techniques.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s heart not only ignited a trace of fighting spirit.

"Come on, let me see the gambling skills of the masters in the ninja world!"

Thinking of this, Ryosuke was slightly serious, and at the same time, he thought about the cheating techniques he would use in a moment.

Ten minutes later, the corners of Ryosuke’s mouth twitched slightly.

Of course, it wasn't that Ryosuke had lost miserably, but rather

These few people in front of him were far more "noob" than he had imagined.

In this gambling game, Mizunuki Ryosuke even felt that cheating methods were completely unnecessary; using even a little bit of brainpower was a waste.

First, let’s talk about the thin middle-aged man who first proposed the gambling game.

At this moment, because of continuous folding and conceding, in just ten minutes, he had already lost half of the gambling capital in his hand.

But looking at the thin man’s posture, he still had no intention of giving up at all, seeming to think that with his "strength," it was completely enough to win back his capital.

This wasn't even the worst; the chubby youth opposite the thin man was the true "game black hole."

As for things like "gambling skills," the chubby youth seemed not to have even understood the rules of the game.

Whenever he got a big hand, the chubby youth always hesitated to fold it, and whenever he got a small hand, he would choose to follow fiercely.

And the reason he knew this was because after the chubby youth folded once, Ryosuke’s curiosity got the better of him, and he stole a look at the cards the chubby youth had folded.

Three neat big "A"s immediately entered Ryosuke’s eyes.

And after opening the cards, the chubby youth would look at the game in confusion, not understanding why the "big hand" in his hand had lost, just blindly pushing the money in his hand onto the table.

Even so, the chubby youth was still not the most outrageous; when Ryosuke looked at the blonde woman with freckles on the opposite side, he knew what true despair was.

Sure enough, in this round, the thin man and the chubby youth chose to fold simultaneously.

"Quick, quick, quick!!"

"Open the cards quickly!"

"I won this time for sure!"

The blonde woman said somewhat excitedly, her voice like a crisp lark; hearing this tone, it was like she had won the lottery.

In her excitement, the woman clearly forgot to disguise herself, exposing her original voice.

Subsequently, the blonde woman on the opposite side lifted her cards with an excited face.

"3, 5, 8"

The unrelated three, five, and eight entered Ryosuke’s eyes.

Looking at the blonde woman’s triumphant eyes, Ryosuke was completely speechless.

"Sigh"

After a soft sigh, Ryosuke looked at the "K, J, 8" in his hand and helplessly lifted his hole cards.

In the end, Ryosuke, whose hand was slightly larger than Kisame Hoshigaki’s, won the game.

Beside Ryosuke, Kisame Hoshigaki, seeing Ryosuke win again, looked at the "K, J, 7" in his hand and also revealed a mysterious smile.

Do you think everything is a coincidence?

If you think so, you are too naive.

Accompanying the leader to play cards, how could one do it without a few tricks?

Thinking this, on the other side, Kisame quietly stuffed a big "A" into his sleeve and fed it to the small shark he had summoned.

At the same time, he quietly stole a "2" from the deck.

"This way, I can lose contentedly in the next round."

Thinking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on Kisame’s face.

Although she had just experienced a miserable defeat, the blonde woman didn't care at all, taking out another handful of gold notes from her bosom and placing them in the betting area in front of her.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Come again, come again!"

While pouring her gambling capital without a bottom line, the blonde woman was still shouting at Ryosuke unwillingly.

She seemed extremely puzzled as to why her hand was "so big" and yet still couldn't win against Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Even after losing so miserably, the blonde woman’s confidence was not hit in the slightest.

Instead, she had a posture of becoming braver with every setback.

Twenty minutes later

To this, Ryosuke was somewhat speechless; looking at the gold notes piled up like a mountain in front of him, the game had reached this point, and he felt there was completely no need to continue.

Because winning was simply too stress-free, making Ryosuke completely lose the desire to continue playing.

Plus, he had already collected enough information on the few people at the table, so Ryosuke intended to terminate the game.

The thin man was highly likely a Hidden Sand ninja from the Land of Wind.

According to Ryosuke’s observation, the chubby youth was very likely from the Land of Earth, which had always had a "stubborn spirit."

Because among the five great nations, the Hidden Stone ninjas of the Land of Earth were the most conservative, and gambling was a behavior despised by the public in the Land of Earth.

This also explained why the chubby youth knew nothing about gambling.

Plus, the chubby youth’s simple expression didn't look like a fake; he didn't seem to be a person with a delicate and complex mind, and the Land of Earth gold notes he took out earlier could also serve as evidence.

And finally, the blonde woman opposite Ryosuke was the "big fish" in Ryosuke’s mind.

Even Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't expect to run into her here.

In Ryosuke’s heart, there was a 70% chance that the blonde woman in front of him was the princess of the Hidden Leaf’s Senju clan, the disciple of the Third Hokage—Tsunade Senju!

Whether it was the blonde woman’s special reaction to the Land of Fire gold notes.

Or her extremely poor gambling luck and skills, as well as her attitude of being addicted to gambling.

Plus her profound Yang Release cultivation.

Connecting all the clues together, the suspicion in Ryosuke’s heart reached its peak.

To be safe, Ryosuke decided to test her one more time.

If the test was successful, then the other party’s identity would naturally be self-evident.

"The gambling game with everyone is a bit too boring."

"I propose we stop here."

Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly spoke; hearing this, the three people all had different expressions.

The chubby youth exhaled deeply, as if sighing that it was finally over.

The thin middle-aged man’s face was dark, as if he were somewhat unwilling.

And the most emotional one was the blonde woman; seeing Ryosuke propose to terminate, she stood up abruptly and slapped the table, leaning down and staring at Mizunuki Ryosuke with a pair of emerald eyes.

It was as if she were saying, "You brat, you want to run after winning money?"

To this, the corners of Ryosuke’s mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Good fellow, big sister, don't you have any self-awareness of your own level?

You really don't want me to leave until you've won me dry?
