Lots of people were looking at the complete scrolls. Some shabby looking men were trying to put together shredded scrolls like puzzle pieces.
A group of men wearing Black Robes with Sakat Hats and masks came.
The flock of peoples gave way hurriedly and they were scared to offend the newcomers.
This group looks strong and brutal, there's a hint of bloodlust emitting in their auras.
They bought all those boxes of explosives and talismans.
The store owner received a big pouch full of money but he didn't dare to open and count it in front of the crowd.
After the group paid what they bought, they immediately left the store and the crowd resumed looking for something useful that's worth buying. Koji and Okita were included in this crowd.
Koji found a useful scroll and it is a life saving technique named Substitution Technique.
If successfully learned, the instant before they are to be struck by an attack, the user replaces themselves with a block of wood or something similar. Because the attack does hit something, opponents may briefly believe that they've successfully struck the user.
He paid the store owner before he hide it inside his clothes.
Okita also found half of a scroll, it is a clone technique but it is useless unless he finds the other part.
Koji helped him to look for the other part.
They almost gave up looking for the other part, suddenly Koji jumped and pointed to a half piece of a scroll that almost look exactly the same as the one that Okita is holding.
He leaped to grab it but he was shocked on what happened next.
A teenager boy who was one step ahead of him got it right before his hand reached the scroll.
It was very disheartening for Okita and Koji. It was almost on their hands but someone showed up to mess with them.
Koji and Okita looked at each other then they turned their heads at the same time and their eyes fall on the teenage boy with Yellow Hair and Blue Eyes.
Uzumaki Clan's Young Master!
Koji wanted to curse this teenager but he almost choked up on his words when he saw the face of the person in front of him.
"What the f... I mean What are you doing here Kazuto-san?"
"Do I know you? Why are you asking me that question, are you my Father? Of course I can be anywhere you dumbass!"
"I understand, but can you give me that broken scroll? I really need it."
"This trash? What makes you think that you can order me around! Acting tough and bossy, shouldn't you be kneeling and begging to me to get this?"
"Kneel your Ass! Just because you're related to the hero of the past and you have some powerful background, do you think you can do what you want? If you're really that confident, why don't we make a bet?"
"Interesting! Hmmm... An insect trying to bite me... Uzumaki Kazuto! Let's see what you've got! What are we betting on?"
"I know you're strong and it would look like you're bullying me if we'll fight. How about a bet to test our wits? I know you don't want to be branded as stupid, Right?"
"You're smart to avoid battle with me! But you'll regret trying my IQ! State your rules and what are we going to bet on!
"Do you know some card game?"
"Yes! I know a lot!"
"How about Poker style? But we'll modify it a bit so it won't be a luck-based game?"
"Sure! How and what are the rules?"
Here are the rules:
Well choose 5 cards from the deck of 52 cards and we'll compare our hands once we're done choosing.
But if we're not satisfied, we can discard 4 of our cards and get another 4 new cards to make a new hand of 5 cards.
The discarded cards were no longer part of the game. Its up to you if you will discard or go with your first 5 cards.
You can go first if you want!
Let's start?
"Okay, I get it! Wait, what are the odds? If you win, I'll give you this scroll and what if you lose?"
"I'll give you the other part that i already paid for!"
"Game! You go first! You think I'm stupid to choose cards first?"
"Okay, I'll start now! It's the same. You'll lose even if you go first or second."
Koji chose 4 number 10 cards and an Ace then he taunted Kazuto. "Do you want to continue?"
Kazuto scoffed and he smiled, "this idiot chose 4 of a kind, instead of a straight flush. How stupid? Hahaha"
Kazuto tried a royal flush, but he's missing number 10 so he chose a straight flush from Ace to number 5.
They're about to compare their cards but Koji laughed and discarded the other 3 number 10 cards, then he picked Jack, Queen and King to make a Royal Flush.
Kazuto was dumbfounded. No matter what cards he will choose now, he will surely lose!
The discarded number 10 cards can't be picked anymore.
Then he realized that he was tricked. The four of a kind is just a bait and he also fell for Koji's taunt.
He slammed the cards and tossed the other part of the scroll to Koji and left.
Okita laughed and slapped Koji's back. "The so called genius fled! Hahaha What a sly brother I have! You better teach me some of your tricks!"
"Dream on! You better teach me the running skill you've promised me! And about this scroll, I also want to learn this. Lend me this Shadow Clone Technique once you're done with it!"
"Sure! As if I can hide it from you! Don't you know that we're living under the same roof? you idiot!"
"Don't shout something like that! The others might misunderstood what you've just said! You chicken-brained fart!"
"Who cares? I'll be waiting for you tonight ! Bring me some dinner please! I'll warm our bed later! Hahahahaha"
"F*CK YOU!"
Koji can't stand Okita's jokes so he left him behind. It's a big harvest today so he's quite happy and he also didn't beat up Okita despite his embarrassing jokes.
The crowd's laughter stopped when the two left, they resumed their own business.
