Scamming the loser is Sin

All attention was on her. Tsunade's presence was commanding, her beauty captivating. She looked young, her face so stunning that it drew everyone's gaze. As she walked, there seemed to be an invisible wave of energy that caused onlookers to step back, awed by her presence.

"Today..." Tsunade announced confidently, "I'm going to win back everything that's mine!"

The crowd cheered, spurred on by her determination.

"That's right!"

"Go for it, Tsunade!"

"Show them who's boss!"

Beside her, Shizune, holding a pet pig, whispered anxiously, "Lady Tsunade, this 30 million is all we have left. If we lose, we won't even have money for dinner tonight."

"How could I lose?" Tsunade replied firmly. "Today, I'm lucky. The casino boss will be paying me!"

She strode to the gaming table with pride. Meanwhile, Kazuya, disguised with the Transformation Jutsu, sat down at the table as well.

The game began. Tsunade placed high bets while Kazuya bet small. When Tsunade bet small, Kazuya bet big. After two hours, Tsunade had lost over five million while Kazuya had won more than four million.

"Unlucky!" Tsunade grumbled, leaving the table with her remaining money. She moved to a poker table, hoping her luck would change.

Again, Tsunade bet heavily, and Kazuya bet opposite. An hour later, Tsunade had lost another five million, and Kazuya's winnings grew.

"You little..." Tsunade's eyes narrowed as she realized what was happening. "You're using me as a guide!"

Kazuya smirked. "Can't handle losing?"

"Can't handle losing?!" Tsunade's fury was palpable. "I'll show you if I can handle losing!"

She went to the cockfighting ring next. Two roosters faced off—one red, one black with a streak of gray.

"Five million on the red one!" Tsunade declared.

"I'll take the black one," Kazuya responded coolly.

"You..." Tsunade's fists clenched, nearly causing a wrinkle on her forehead.

"Lady Tsunade," Shizune whispered urgently, fearing Tsunade might snap and punch the smug young man.

"I'm fine," Tsunade gritted out. She couldn't let this guy get away with using her as a beacon.

The match began. The black rooster, despite its smaller size, defeated the red one.

"..." Tsunade stood in shock. Another five million gone.

Kazuya knelt down, patted the victorious black rooster, and said, "You're quite the fighter."

His eyes met Tsunade's with disdain, a silent challenge. 

Tsunade's patience snapped. "I want to bet against you directly!"

"Alright," Kazuya replied.

"Dice. One round. Everything on the line. Do you dare?"

"Of course."

"I bet big!" Tsunade declared.

"Then I'll take small."

"Big, big, big... come on...!" Tsunade screamed in frustration.

The dice landed: small. Tsunade lost her remaining fifteen million.

"Thank you," Kazuya said with a polite smile. "It was nice to meet you."

"Get lost!" Tsunade roared, her voice echoing through the casino. Kazuya calmly gathered his winnings and left.

"Lady Tsunade, that was all our money..." Shizune's eyes filled with tears. They had nothing left for dinner that night.

"Don't... talk to me," Tsunade muttered, clutching her chest. The pain of losing all that money was almost unbearable. 

Outside the casino, Kazuya noticed several figures trailing him. 

"Trying to rob me, huh?" he thought, unfazed. He turned into a dark alley, where the men caught up with him.

"Hand over the money, and we might let you live," one of them sneered, brandishing a long knife.

Kazuya sighed, disappointed at their lack of skill. Within seconds, he incapacitated them, leaving them in a heap.

Meanwhile, Tsunade and Shizune left the casino, feeling the weight of their losses. 

"Lady Tsunade, what are we going to do now?" Shizune asked, her voice small and pitiful.

"Just wait," Tsunade replied wearily. "The old man said someone would come for us soon."

The next day passed in discomfort. Shizune and Tsunade had nothing to eat, and by nightfall, they huddled under a bridge for shelter.

"Shizune, can I borrow your blanket?" Tsunade asked.

"But I'm cold..." Shizune hesitated.

"Just for a bit," Tsunade insisted.

On the third morning, they returned to their hotel and found a young man waiting at the door. He looked familiar.

The young man turned, his eyes lighting up. "Lady Tsunade!"

"Who are you?" Tsunade asked.

"Nohara Kazuya. Lord Hokage sent me," he replied.

"Good! Finally!" Tsunade's mood lifted instantly. The man walked over with a polite smile.

"It's nice to meet you, Lady Tsunade," he said.

"I'm glad to meet you too..." Tsunade began, but suddenly froze. Something about him seemed eerily familiar.
