Although it would take Kakashi two days to fully recover, he set off for the next target town the very next day, albeit at a slower pace than before!
Over the following week, Kakashi visited more than a dozen towns. Finally, in a gambling den, he obtained some recent information about Tsunade!
"She was in Blume Street, a town on the border between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire, about half a month ago. She shouldn't have left so quickly!"
Kakashi thanked the gambler from Blume Street who had provided the information and immediately departed, heading towards Blume Street at full speed!
A day later, Kakashi entered the Land of Lightning and appeared in Blume Street!
"Get out! You're lucky I didn't break your hands for trying to cheat!"
When Kakashi arrived at the entrance of the largest casino in Blume Street, he saw a young man, a year or two younger than him, being thrown out by the casino's bouncers, landing with a thud on the ground!
The young man coughed up a mouthful of blood, clearly having taken a bad fall!
Several burly thugs with menacing expressions watched the young man's miserable state, their eyes filled with amusement and satisfaction!
The crowd on the surrounding streets immediately turned to look, and upon hearing the thugs' words, they all pointed at the young man on the ground, their eyes filled with disdain!
They were betting, but to cheat! They hated this kind of person the most!
Only a few women looked at the young man's plight with expressions of pity.
Of course, there were also some people who looked doubtful. How could a little kid have the guts to cheat in a casino!
"I..."
"I didn't cheat, you're all wronging me..."
Hearing the thugs' words, the young boy's pale face flushed with anger. He scrambled up and retorted furiously at the thugs!
His eyes revealed a look of sorrow.
Thinking of all the money taken from him, his heart was filled with panic!
"I... I don't want to win your money. Just give me back mine. It's for my mother's medicine..."
"Get lost! How could we, the upper-class gambling den, wrong a customer? Cheating and not admitting it? Do you really want us to break your hands before you leave?"
Before the boy could finish speaking, the thug who had thrown him out changed his expression, glaring at the boy with a ferocious look and shouting!
"I..."
The boy was clearly frightened, his face deathly pale, his lips trembling, and he didn't dare say anything.
Slowly turning around, the boy didn't dare to say anything. He lowered his head and stumbled away, his shoulders visibly shaking.
Kakashi could see that the boy's fists were clenched tightly.
Watching the boy leave, Kakashi's expression gradually darkened. From what had just happened, and the behavior of the thugs, Kakashi could tell that the boy had definitely been wronged. This reminded Kakashi of his own experiences in the real world. He, too, had once been falsely accused!
Therefore, Kakashi utterly detested such casinos!
When Kakashi came back to his senses, the boy had already gone far.
Whoosh!
Because he sympathized with the boy's similar situation, Kakashi flashed and chased after him.
He appeared in front of the boy in an instant, startling him.
"What… what do you want?"
The boy was startled by Kakashi's ninja attire. He spoke in a trembling voice, but his eyes were filled with a hint of curiosity as he secretly sized Kakashi up. He had heard tales of ninjas, but rarely saw them in reality, especially not this close!
"Tell me what happened at the casino," Kakashi said calmly, looking at the boy. "If they wronged you, I'll help you get your money back!"
"Ah…"
The boy exclaimed in surprise, and a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes. He quickly told Kakashi what happened, since a ninja offered to help. He also explained his situation.
The boy's name was Kurosaki. He'd become addicted to gambling after accidentally entering a casino with his friends last year. Today, he was out to buy medicine for his mother, but couldn't resist stopping by the casino.
Kurosaki was having a particularly lucky day, winning every hand. When he had a stack of money and remembered he hadn't bought his mother's medicine, he tried to leave. However, the casino staff accused him of cheating and took all his winnings, as well as the money he had on him!
After that, Kakashi saw the scene of being thrown out!
"Come with me, I'll take you back to win your money back!"
Kakashi looked at the youth's eyes after hearing his account. After confirming that the youth wasn't lying, he spoke calmly, "Also, don't gamble next time. There are no good people running casinos!"
There are plenty of people like Kurosaki in the world. The only reason he wanted to help Kurosaki was because his experience was similar to his own in a previous life, and Kakashi just happened to run into him!
As for being so confident in winning the money back, Kakashi also had some gambling skills. Plus, cheating with Chakra, it wouldn't be difficult!
Of course, using Chakra to cheat also required extremely high control over Chakra!
After saying that, Kakashi turned and walked towards the gambling den above. The youth, Kurosaki, stumbled excitedly, hurrying to follow!
Without Kakashi saying anything, after this lesson, he wouldn't dare to enter a gambling den again next time!
After entering the casino, Kakashi began to gamble. Utilizing his superb Chakra control, he cheated repeatedly, winning again and again. Soon, Kakashi had won a considerable amount of money!
Unbeknownst to Kakashi, engrossed in his gambling, two women entered the casino. One was a buxom, blonde-haired woman, and the other a black-haired girl, who was holding a pink piglet in her arms!
Upon entering, the two women quickly spotted Kakashi gambling!
Seeing Kakashi cheat using Chakra, their eyes filled with disgust!
"Tsunade-sama, that person is cheating with Chakra!"
The black-haired girl looked at Kakashi's back with disdain and whispered to the buxom, blonde-haired woman beside her!
