Chapter 206: Three Unconditional Requests!
Seeing Oborotsuki refuse her offer, Tsunade immediately frowned.
She had no desire to waste any more time on this kid:
"Since you don't want money, what exactly do you want to bet with me?"
As she spoke, Tsunade took another swig of wine.
Her sharp gaze quickly returned to Oborotsuki's face.
"It's very simple."
Oborotsuki walked around the broken table and sat down directly opposite Tsunade.
He casually set the Decapitation Greatsword aside, propped his chin on one hand, and leisurely looked at Tsunade's delicate features and smooth, fair skin.
"If I lose, I'll grant you three requests."
"Anything you ask me to do—I'll do it."
"And if you lose, the conditions are the same."
Oborotsuki smiled meaningfully and raised three fingers, his gaze burning as he stared at Tsunade.
He noticed a flash of surprise in Tsunade's eyes when she heard his words.
Tsunade didn't reply immediately. She didn't accept his conditions right away.
Shizune, however, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Lady Tsunade, be careful—there might be some scheme behind this…"
She couldn't help crouching down and whispering a warning to Tsunade.
Tsunade waved her hand dismissively, signaling Shizune not to interrupt her thoughts at a time like this.
Her gaze returned to Oborotsuki. After thinking for a moment, she decided there was no way she could be that unlucky.
She had carefully chosen this gambling house—it was supposed to be lucky for her.
She was definitely going to win money today!
With that thought, Tsunade immediately regained her confidence and interest.
"Fine!"
"I'll play one round with you!"
"If you lose, you have to grant me three requests!"
"If I lose, I'll do the same for you!"
"No matter who loses, no matter what the other person asks for—no matter how difficult it is!"
"Neither side can go back on their word or refuse!!"
Tsunade looked at Oborotsuki confidently as she laid out the rules.
"Lady Tsunade…"
Hearing her words, Shizune was startled and hurriedly tried to remind her again that this was very inappropriate.
But Tsunade completely ignored her.
She stared at Oborotsuki. Seeing that he had been hesitating for a long time without saying anything, she snorted coldly:
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"Why would I be scared?"
Oborotsuki rubbed his nose.
He gave an awkward laugh and shook his head.
In his heart, he was already overjoyed.
He possessed incredibly powerful perception.
Combined with his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Even though he had never played these games before, he could easily sense exactly what was happening inside the dice cup.
He could even tell precisely what numbers would come up.
In contrast, Tsunade clearly didn't have this ability.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be losing money everywhere, losing every single time she gambled.
Her nickname "Big Fat Sheep" was known to gambling professionals in almost every country.
In a way, she had left her own legendary mark on the ninja world through gambling.
Oborotsuki pretended to look hesitant and conflicted for a moment, then casually spread his hands:
"Fine, let's do it. Then, I'll have to trouble this cute young lady here."
He turned to Shizune with a warm smile and gave her a gentle wink.
Shizune's face flushed slightly when she saw that smile. She lowered her head and picked up the dice, placing them into the dice cup.
"Lady Tsunade, I'm starting now, okay?"
Shizune was still very worried.
The conditions Tsunade had just agreed to with the opponent were far too risky for her.
If Lady Tsunade won, that would be fine.
But if she lost, she would have to grant this man three unconditional requests.
No matter what he asked for, she couldn't refuse…
That was far too dangerous!
What if he asked Lady Tsunade to kill herself?
Shizune tried several times to confirm, but Tsunade just looked at her and nodded firmly:
"Hurry up, Shizune!"
"Stop dawdling!"
Hearing Tsunade's urging, Shizune could only sigh helplessly.
She knew there was no way she could talk Lady Tsunade out of this.
Otherwise, Lady Tsunade wouldn't have lost so much money.
She wouldn't have had to flee the Land of Fire and come all the way to the Land of Water just to escape her debts.
Right now, all she could do was try her best to help Lady Tsunade roll a good number so she could win.
With that thought, Shizune began shaking the dice cup seriously.
Meanwhile, Oborotsuki released his powerful chakra perception.
Instantly, every movement inside the dice cup was clearly captured by him.
The dice tumbled and bounced, and with every collision and every number, Oborotsuki heard it all perfectly.
He could even visualize the corresponding image in his mind.
Clack!
Shizune finally placed the dice cup down.
Then she looked nervously between Oborotsuki and Tsunade.
"You go first."
Tsunade looked at Oborotsuki and jerked her chin toward him.
"I have one very prominent advantage—I'm bigger than everyone else in every way."
"So, I'll guess big."
Oborotsuki smiled.
Hearing this, Tsunade looked doubtfully at Shizune. The latter shook her head helplessly, indicating she had no idea what the numbers inside were.
Tsunade subconsciously glanced at the dice cup in Shizune's hand and thought for a moment.
"Since you chose big, I'll have to choose small."
"Open it, Shizune!"
Tsunade gave the order to Shizune casually.
But in her heart, she was starting to feel nervous.
Every roll was either big or small, with a third possibility being a tie—when all three dice showed the same number.
But since the probability was very low, Tsunade usually only bet on big or small.
Betting only on big or small gave both sides equal chances of winning.
That was the charm of this game—it wasn't unfair, with one side having a higher chance than the other.
It was pure luck.
Now it all came down to whose luck was better—hers or this kid's!
Tsunade watched anxiously as Shizune slowly lifted the dice cup.
At that moment, she felt like she could barely breathe.
Shizune was equally nervous and uneasy, her breathing becoming a little rapid.
Because the outcome of this roll wasn't just about money.
The conditions Lady Tsunade had agreed to with the opponent were far too risky for her.
If Lady Tsunade was unlucky and lost again like she always did, she would have to grant this man three unconditional requests.
The consequences would be unthinkable…
Thinking this, Shizune's hands trembled slightly. She used her other hand to steady the shaking one and slowly, very slowly, lifted the dice cup bit by bit.
Her movements made it look as if the lid of the dice cup weighed a thousand pounds.
In contrast, Oborotsuki remained completely calm and relaxed.
He didn't even need to see the dice—he already knew exactly what numbers were inside.
In short, he had already won this round!
