Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　I wonder if my youth will ever shine with its fiery passion again!

　Matt Day said

　To master the Eight Gates Formation without unleashing its full power at least once would be a profound regret! The Eight Gates are the Gates of Death, considered forbidden! But as the pinnacle of taijutsu, the highest realm of taijutsu! What does death matter? "To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening!" Even a fleeting moment of brilliance would surely astound an entire era! "It will!"

　Ye Chen said

　However, with the Eight Gates formation fully activated, the situation was irreversible! He didn't say much; perhaps he understood Dai's feelings, or perhaps he didn't.

　Their paths were similar, but not the same! It was quite late when they left the Might Guy family, but for Konoha, it wasn't.

　Walking down the street, slightly tipsy, Ye Chen's steps were a bit unsteady.

　However, he did it on purpose; his Observation Haki constantly enveloped the surroundings, ensuring he wouldn't miss any movement.

　Because they rarely show their faces, not many people know their status.

　The villagers of Konoha worship the Konoha Rasetsu, to the point of madness, yet the irony is that when the real person stands before them, they are completely unaware! Gods! Sometimes, this is how they are deified! "Halt!"

　"You want to run away after losing money!"

　(1/3)

　"There's no such thing as a free lunch."

　A commotion arose from the crowd ahead.

　nbs

　"I'm not trying to run away, I'm going back to get the money!"

　"Don't you know who I am?!"

　"Would I, Tsunade, the princess of the Senju clan and one of the Legendary Sannin, owe you money?"

　"Damn luck, I can't win even once!"

　Ye Chen's expression changed upon hearing the conversation in the crowd. Could it be such a coincidence?

　He walked forward, channeling his repulsive force around him. As he walked, those around him were always gently pushed aside by an invisible force, automatically making way for him.

　The onlookers were puzzled, wondering why the body had suddenly sprang to the side on its own.

　Without stopping, he walked to the very front of the crowd. Tsunade stood in front of him, and opposite him were several henchmen from the gambling den, each one burly and imposing.

　Although it looks scary, Tsunade could send them flying with just one finger if she really wanted to fight.

　This is the difference between ordinary people and ninjas! "Lady Tsunade, do you think we don't know? The Senju clan has announced that they won't be paying your gambling debts for you."

　The casino manager said

　Okay, after hearing this...

　Tsunade looked embarrassed. She had been gambling heavily these past few days, squandering a significant portion of her family fortune. The old folks couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to freeze her assets in Senju.

　So after losing another round, she's planning to run away! She'll wait until things calm down before returning to Konoha to wreak havoc.

　However, the other party clearly had special channels for obtaining intelligence, and was not deceived at all; they even chased after him.

　As a ninja, she certainly wouldn't attack ordinary people! But the person opposite her was a creditor—what a headache! "Manager, when have I ever failed to pay back money?"

　I'll pay you back next time I win money, you don't have to be so petty.

　Tsunade said again

　"But you've never won."

　The casino manager sighed.

　Tsunade, this big fat sheep, has given their gambling den an unknown amount of money, and she rarely defaults on her debts. But this time, she's become completely addicted to gambling, and the amount involved is enormous—enough to amount to half of some families' assets.

　This is why the Senju clan refused to repay Tsunade! They're probably ruining their family fortune.

　The gambling den managers were also scoundrels; they didn't want to win Tsunade's money either, and even deliberately let her win. But this woman's luck was so bad it was beyond description; it was simply unbearable to watch.

　The crucial point is that Tsunade's drug addiction is extremely severe! At this point, everything must be done according to the rules! Even if the other party is a ninja, Princess Senju, or a student of the Third Hokage.

　But as the matter escalated, they were still in the right.

　Tsunade looked around the crowd, hoping to spot someone she knew who could lend her a hand.

　As a top-tier medical ninja, the rewards would be well worth it.

　She looked left and right, but all she saw were strangers! She didn't recognize a single one. Just when she was about to despair, Ye Chen suddenly stepped out from the crowd—his arrival was perfectly timed.

　"Ye Chen, you've come at the perfect time!"

　Tsunade swiftly appeared beside Ye Chen using Shave, extended her hand, and said without any hesitation, "Lend me money!"

　""

　Ye Chen was speechless. Couldn't he be a little more honest?

　(2/3)

　"Kid, are you going to pay back Lady Tsunade's money?"

　The casino manager walked over, rubbed his hands together, and looked at him as if he were a sucker.

Chapter 299 The Alluring Tsunade

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　Ye Chen had no concept of money; he had never lacked it anyway. Moreover, when he carried out assassination missions in the Land of Rain, there were some wealthy merchants who colluded with ninjas among them.

　So at that time, I casually took some money, leaving a sum of money for these students to spend when I parted ways with Nagato and Konan.

　However, using it to pay off Tsunade's exorbitant gambling debts is a bit of a pipe dream.

　The entire Senju clan's resources aren't enough to repay this debt, so how could he possibly? The crucial point is that Tsunade, that foolish woman, has absolutely no sense of self-awareness. She gambles and loses every time, then gambles again, like a bottomless pit, sinking deeper and deeper without realizing it.

　At that moment, he was being chased by debt collectors, and he just happened to run into them.

　The gambling den manager looked at him as if he were a sucker. Although Tsunade had a bad reputation, she was still one of the Legendary Sannin, from a distinguished family, and most of the people she knew were ninjas from powerful clans.

　In the manager's view, there might not be any profit to be made from Tsunade right now, but this suddenly appearing ninja might be someone he could fleece again.

　It's not necessary for Tsunade to pay off her gambling debts; as long as she can go back and report, that's fine.

　This is Konoha Village after all. Although the people at the gambling den aren't exactly good people, they always leave room for maneuver, so they can meet again in the future.

　A give-and-take approach and sustainable development are the right path.

　"I have no money!"

　Ye Chen said directly

　""

　"No money"

　Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened; she had also been somewhat impatient just now.

　Only then did she notice the slight flush on Ye Chen's face and a faint smell of alcohol, and couldn't help but say, "You've been drinking?"

　"Never mind whether I drink or not, I'm being chased by debt collectors!"

　Ye Chen said irritably.

　"There's nothing I can do; the old folks in my family don't recognize me as their little princess anymore."

　Tsunade waved her hand, a helpless expression on her face.

　Ye Chen rolled his eyes. That's quite a statement, isn't it?! Someone as wasteful as you, who would want you but Hashirama Senju…? Even the naturally ditzy First Hokage couldn't tolerate such a spendthrift woman! After all, she's his granddaughter, family.

　“Um… sir ninja, although we are a gambling den, gambling dens also have their rules.”

　"If we don't pay back the money, we won't be able to go back and explain ourselves."

　The casino manager came over, cupped his hands in a respectful greeting, and was quite polite.

　He could tell that although Ye Chen looked young, he possessed a calm and composed demeanor, and his brows exuded an undeniable and inexplicable pressure.

　Having worked in a gambling den, I've seen all sorts of people! The gambling den manager has a keen eye for people; he's definitely not a villain who mindlessly causes trouble and gives others free experience points.

　How much did she lose?

　Ye Chen asked

　The casino manager hesitated for a moment, then extended one finger.

　"one thousand"

　Ye Chen said, "Ten million."

　The manager silently added a word, but the nature of the matter completely changed. This debt was quite large; no wonder the Senju clan kicked Tsunade out, at least in terms of finances.
