Chapter 351: Parallel World
Chapter 351: Parallel World
"You damn brat! Give me back my hard-won jackpot!"
As Hayi Xuan Yue opened his eyes, the furious voice of a woman still lingered in his ears.
He turned his gaze towards the face that was mere inches from his own.
"Tsunade?"
Hayi Xuan Yue recognized the young and beautiful face before him and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"It seems I've arrived in another world."
Due to the presence of the Yin Seal, the Tsunade in front of him, despite having the same youthful appearance as her counterpart from the original world, exuded a somewhat different aura and demeanor.
The Tsunade before him seemed even younger.
Additionally, the Tsunade from the original world would never have been as bold as this one, who dared to grab him by the collar and lift him up.
"Don't you dare play dumb! Don't think I don't know that you're stronger than an ox now!" Tsunade's annoyed voice continued.
As a medical saint, Tsunade was well aware that the young man before her, despite falling from a great height and blowing the casino to smithereens, had not sustained any injuries.
In fact, he seemed even healthier than she had imagined.
"A ninja? And what about those eyes?"
Tsunade noticed Hayi Xuan Yue's purple Rinnegan eyes.
She felt like she had heard about them somewhere, but couldn't quite recall at the moment.
But that didn't matter right now.
What truly irked her was that the jackpot she had painstakingly worked towards over the years, a grand slam no less, had been ruined at the last moment by this sudden intruder!
Being in the right, she naturally wanted justice served.
Just as she was about to demand compensation, which would include the full amount she should have won, plus damages for mental distress, Tsunade suddenly felt her vision blur.
In the blink of an eye, Hayi Xuan Yue had slipped out of her grasp and stood a meter away.
Tsunade instinctively looked at her palm, which was still in the position of holding someone, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Congratulations, for you have just arrived at the most glorious moment of your life." Hayi Xuan Yue, clad in the Six Paths Sage Mode that caused the surrounding dust to scatter, finally spoke.
"Who are you?" Tsunade's expression turned grave.
Anyone who could escape her grasp without her noticing was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous individual.
If he hadn't chosen to create distance just now but had attacked her instead...
At this thought, Tsunade's brows furrowed, her wariness heightened, and she wondered, "Why haven't I heard of such a person in the ninja world?"
"Lady Tsunade!"
Before Hayi Xuan Yue could reply, a crisp voice interrupted them.
He turned to see Shizune, still a petite young girl, running towards them with a lunch box in one hand and a flask of sake in the other, her nannying skills on full display.
"Lady Tsunade! Lunch is... ready." Shizune, unaware of what had transpired, reached Tsunade's side and started to speak, only to realize that the atmosphere was amiss. She lowered her voice instinctively and, after a brief pause, stubbornly finished her sentence.
In response, Tsunade pulled Shizune behind her, keeping her eyes fixed on Hayi Xuan Yue.
Seeing Tsunade's guarded stance, having lost all traces of her previous demeanor, Hayi Xuan Yue waved his hand dismissively and said, "Rest assured, I'm merely a passerby."
Having arrived in another world, Hayi Xuan Yue had no intention of carrying over the grudges and affections from his previous life.
Living like that would be too exhausting.
Moreover, if he did so, the people in this world would only think he was insane.
Having achieved the Six Paths Sage Mode and fulfilled his lifelong pursuit, he had no such inclinations.
The only unwelcome guest was the one who had traveled with him from his previous world.
"I wonder where those guys ran off to?"
Yuyi Xuan Yue looked up through the gaping hole he had created in the casino's ceiling, gazing at the azure sky above.
If the opportunity presented itself, he would take pleasure in eliminating them here and now.
If not, he would find an escape route and return to his original world.
"Now, how do I get back?"
While Yuyi Xuan Yue was well-versed in dragon veins, he had long forgotten how Naruto and the others had returned to their world in the original story.
Perhaps it still had something to do with the dragon veins.
Yuyi Xuan Yue pondered this possibility.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Seeing that Yuyi Xuan Yue wasn't going to do anything further and was instead strangely gazing skyward, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief.
From his attitude, it was clear that a fight wasn't going to break out.
And that was for the best.
She had her drinking and gambling to attend to.
Speaking of gambling...
Tsunade's gaze once again fell on the ruined gambling table, her eyes filled with anguish.
That jackpot she had painstakingly won!
This wouldn't do!
The more Tsunade thought about it, the angrier she became.
She turned her attention back to Yuyi Xuan Yue.
This guy seemed reasonable.
Since that was the case, she wouldn't hold back! No, she would demand the compensation she was rightfully owed.
"Compensation?"
Hearing Tsunade's unwavering demand for compensation, Yuyi Xuan Yue snapped back to attention, focusing on Tsunade's serious expression as she stood with her arms crossed, and Shizune by her side, her eyes sparkling with hope that they wouldn't end up homeless.
He spread his hands helplessly and said, "I don't have any money."
Having always been served by his subordinates, Yuyi Xuan Yue rarely concerned himself with money matters.
While he did carry some money on the rare occasions when he ventured out alone, who had ever heard of someone carrying cash on the eve of the Ninja World War? Naturally, Yuyi Xuan Yue's pockets were empty.
"No money???"
Tsunade eyed Yuyi Xuan Yue skeptically, her gaze traveling over his demeanor, attire, and overall appearance, which seemed anything but destitute.
Could he be trying to skip out on the bill?
Having witnessed the previous events, Yuyi Xuan Yue asked curiously, "By the way, can you really win?"
He highly suspected that Tsunade's claim of winning was just a face-saving tactic to demand more compensation.
"Of course! I just—Wait, do you know me?" Tsunade asked in surprise.
Yuyi Xuan Yue glanced subconsciously at Tsunade's most prominent feature and replied, "Who hasn't heard of the famous Sannin of Konoha?"
Seeing that Tsunade didn't refute his statement, Yuyi Xuan Yue realized that the timeline in this world had progressed to the period after the Second Ninja World War.
Judging by Shizune's age, the Third Ninja World War probably hadn't broken out yet.
So, Minato Namikaze and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, were still alive, as was Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Obito hadn't turned to the dark side yet.
How interesting.
"Will I keep winning from now on?"
"With me here, you will."
"I never cheat!"
"My luck is excellent, and I can share it with those around me."
"Then, if I keep winning, we'll call it even. But if I don't, you'll have to pay me back!"
"No problem."
This conversation between Tsunade and Yuyi Xuan Yue took place at another casino.
While Yuyi Xuan Yue had many negative reviews, he had never been accused of being a deadbeat.
So, he let Tsunade continue gambling.
As for good luck...
If Tsunade had truly won just now, as she claimed, she would undoubtedly continue her winning streak.
Only time would tell.
