Chapter 17: Bet on Yourself
Ninja School.
Today's ninja school is particularly lively, and the middle and high-level leaders of the major families basically come to the arena to watch the ninja's graduation assessment.
It's wartime now, and the initial exam for graduation is a three-body technique, and the follow-up exam is a one-on-one duel between ninjas!
After all, I don't know how long the war will last, and ninjas who graduate need to go to the battlefield.
War is brutal, but it is also an opportunity to make a mark and show the strength of your family.
The major families are racking their brains for this graduation competition. For example, the Hyuga family, in order to make Hinata Maki hide first this time, the head of his family, Hinata Hinata, personally taught him soft boxing.
"This graduation assessment, I heard that there will be a lot of talented ninja duels from wealthy families, but it's exciting!"
"I'm really looking forward to the battle between Hinata Maki and Uchiha Shisui in the future!"
"What are you guys discussing? Have you forgotten Uzumaki Chiba? ”
"Chiba? Don't think that you can be considered a genius if you have beaten the Uchiha Iron Fire, let alone stop the water, even Hinata Maki can kill him in one move. Everyone was eagerly discussing, and some people even opened a handicap to press who was the champion of this assessment.
"Chiba, your odds of winning the championship are 1 to 10." Early in the morning, Red came to Chiba's house and spoke.
Kushina went out very early, and before leaving, he specially instructed Chiba to protect himself, and it didn't matter if he won or lost.
"One to ten......" Chiba smiled wryly, do these casinos just don't believe him?
"The odds of the Uchiha Shisui are one to one, and the odds of Maki Hinata are also one to one."
"The casino side carefully analyzed their intelligence, and finally came to the conclusion that they will be five or five in the final later." Red continued.
"Chiba, are you listening!" Red looked at Chiba, who had been keeping her head down, and said indignantly.
"Huh?" Chiba looked up.
In fact, when he heard that his odds were 1-10, he suddenly had a bold idea, whether to buy himself.
With odds of one to ten, wouldn't it become one million taels if you buy 100,000 taels?
"Little Chiba, although the two of them are very strong, but you don't have to lose your fighting spirit, you still have some opportunities."
"If you can't get the first or second, it's better to get the third." Red thought that Chiba had no confidence, and hurriedly comforted.
Chiba looked at her serious appearance, and suddenly cried and laughed.
"Red, I'll tell you something, can you promise me?" Chiba suddenly said seriously.
Looking at Chiba's appearance, wanting to speak but not daring to speak, Red seemed to sense something and took a few steps back.
"This little ghost, isn't he afraid that he will be killed by the Uchiha Shisui, and then he wants to take the opportunity to confess to this girl!" Red looked at Chiba in a daze.
"That's it, that, I've been thinking about it for a long time......" Chiba's face flushed.
Even if he is a human being in two lives, Chiba has never borrowed money from a girl, this is the first time, and he is not embarrassed at all.
"That, somewhat. Can't tell. It's just unspeakable. It's the first time I've ...... a girl" Chiba began to stutter when she spoke, her eyes were a little fluttering, and she didn't dare to look red.
"Little ghost, if you have anything, you will die if you say it!" Hong Leng snorted, Chiba was holding back like this, which made her a little anxious.
"Well, I just want to talk to you...... I'll borrow some money from you......" Chiba scratched her head embarrassedly.
"That's all?" Red was stunned.
"Huh? That's all, I don't know if it's convenient for you......" Chiba looked at Red blankly.
Red: "......"
Red agreed to lend 100,000 taels to Chiba, and the two of them came to the casino together to prepare to place bets.
However, Hong only had 50,000 taels on her body at this time, and she had to borrow the rest of the money from a friend.
At this time, there was an endless stream of bettors, and the entrance of the casino was flooded. And the people present were faintly divided into two factions.
"The Uchiha Water Stopping Instant Body Technique is a signature skill of the Shangnin, do you think Hinata Maki can deal with it?"
"Hinata Maki's soft fist is both rigid and soft, even if that little imp from the Uchiha family can get close to him, but he can't beat him!" The two sent people to fight-for-tat, and they were about to fight at the door of the casino.
"Red, you're here, do you have time lately, let's go out on a mission together." At this moment, a man in a brown coat with a small stick in his mouth came over and greeted Red eagerly.
"You said you were short of money, what are you doing in the casino?" Asma was stunned for a moment.
"It's not that I'm going to use it." Red sighed, "This little ghost is going to be used, did you bring the money?" Bring it with you. ”
Asma took out the money without saying a word, and then looked at Chiba behind Hong. Although it was the first time they met, Asma felt unhappy when she saw Chiba, as if she had made an enmity in her previous life.
"What are you doing with money, gambling?" Asma froze.
"Yes, in today's graduation assessment, some people seem to be very confident and insist on pulling me to bet." Red clasped his hands on his chest and glanced at Chiba and said.
"Bet, who to bet? Does the Uchiha stop water? Asma asked. The Uchiha family's genius is famous.
"No, bet on Uzumaki Chiba, himself." Red said lightly.
"Himself?!" Asma's eyes widened with the expression of a dog!
"Are you crazy, little ghost?" Asma looked at Chiba, he looked at Chiba as weak as he could, and it was estimated that he couldn't even survive a competition.
"100,000 taels is not a small amount, pressing himself is simply sending money to the casino." Asma said coldly.
He was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't expect that the first time Red begged him for help, it was for this little ghost who didn't know what to do!
"Asma, that's enough." Hong Leng snorted, and then his gaze shifted to Chiba's body.
Since the first meeting, this little guy has already given her a lot of surprises.
"I believe him." Red smiled and said, "Even if you lose, I will give you back your money." ”
"Red, that's not what I meant." Asma was anxious, "It's all small money, you can use it as you like, it's okay." ”
Asma glared at Chiba fiercely.
Chiba pretended not to see it, borrowed money, and squeezed into the crowd, ready to place a bet.
"Boss, buy me 100,000 taels."
The boss is a thin man, and his eyes always flash with the gaze of a "profiteer".
"Who to buy? Maki Hinata or Uchiha Shisui? The boss asked.
"Buy Uzumaki Chiba." Chiba said lightly.
"Uzumaki Chiba?" The boss was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chiba with bright eyes, "Have a vision, little ghost, buy more, I also believe that Uzumaki Chiba can win the championship." ”
After the boss finished speaking, he immediately burst out laughing.
When the surrounding customers heard this, they also laughed heartily, and their eyes were full of mockery.
"This guy is really rich, he actually bought Uzumaki Chiba and bought 100,000 taels!"
"What do you know, people are small and big, what if it really makes him a million taels?"
"Hmph, if I really make money, I'll go to Hokage Rock overnight and draw a green hat on the head of the three generations of Hokage!"
"Fujino! You're drunk, you dare to say such things! ”
Seeing that Chiba bought 100,000 taels of "Vortex Chiba", the casino was suddenly filled with happy air
