Chapter 168 : Encouraging gambling
"Huh?!" After hearing what Uchiha Yuzuru said, Tsunade and Shizune were both stunned for a moment, and the expressions on their faces immediately became complicated.
Even though they had traveled the Ninja World for so long, this was the first time they had ever heard someone encourage gambling.
Tsunade couldn't help but ask, "Yuzuru, do you really think I should keep gambling?"
"But I lose every time. I don't even know how much money I've lost up until now."
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru sighed and said earnestly, "Tsunade, you need to understand one principle."
"As long as you keep gambling, the money you lose is just temporarily stored in the casino. But if you stop, the money you lost will never come back."
"Moreover, do we really go to casinos simply to win?"
"No, we go to enjoy the atmosphere of the casino and the emotional value that gambling brings us!"
Tsunade and Shizune were stunned once again.
They had never heard this kind of reasoning before, yet upon careful thought, why did it suddenly seem strangely logical?
Seeing Tsunade's eyes growing brighter, Shizune couldn't help but retort, "Lord Yuzuru, but we don't have any money left now."
Tsunade had just managed to consider quitting gambling, and Shizune did not want this effort to be wasted before it even began.
Uchiha Yuzuru patted his chest, "Having no money is no problem at all. I can lend you some."
"You should know that the one thing I lack the least is money."
Hearing this, Tsunade pretended to be hesitant, "Wouldn't that be bad? If I can't pay it back, won't I owe you a massive debt..."
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled, "It's fine, I believe you can definitely win back your losses."
He wasn't worried at all about Tsunade failing to repay the money.
At worst, he would take a small loss; she could just use her butt to pay off the massive debt she owed him.
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Tsunade smiled, "Then I'll listen to you. Actually, I also feel like my luck should be pretty good today."
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru and Tsunade chatting happily, Shizune felt dizzy.
It was over. It seemed her wish for Tsunade to quit gambling would never come true.
After withdrawing a sum of money and giving it to Tsunade, it was getting late.
Uchiha Yuzuru took the packaged desserts and walked towards the Uchiha Clan Compound.
However, on the street near the Clan Estate, Uchiha Yuzuru witnessed a scene that made his jaw drop.
A group of Ninja wearing green spandex and sporting bowl cuts were lined up, sprinting swiftly while walking on their hands.
Leading the charge was Might Guy, and following at the very back was Might Duy.
They shouted slogans like "Youth" and "Passion," their movements perfectly synchronized.
"Guy!" Uchiha Yuzuru called out, and Might Guy immediately ran over.
"Lord Yuzuru!"
Seeing Might Guy's clothes completely soaked through, Uchiha Yuzuru subtly took two steps back.
He pointed at the team still moving forward and asked, "What is going on here?"
Might Guy immediately gave a thumbs up, flashed his sparkling white teeth, and loudly declared, "These are all Ninja who are willing to learn our Strong Fist style!"
Uchiha Yuzuru was momentarily stunned, "That many?"
Might Guy waved his hand, "This is only a small portion of them. It's just that many people's Physique doesn't support high-intensity training every day, so my father and I only need to lead a few dozen people daily."
Uchiha Yuzuru felt a little embarrassed.
Could it be that in the future, a green tide would really be seen on the battlefield?
Just thinking about it felt a little painful to the eyes... Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru spacing out, Might Guy proactively invited him, "Lord Yuzuru, would you like to join us too?"
Uchiha Yuzuru immediately refused, "I'll pass. I'm already too busy dealing with official duties every day."
"Right, why haven't I seen Obito and Kakashi lately?"
"It seems Kakashi has been tutoring Obito in academics." Might Guy saw the team that had run far ahead and quickly said, "Lord Yuzuru, I can't talk anymore, I have to go."
After speaking, Might Guy inverted himself onto his hands and disappeared from the spot like a flash.
Uchiha Yuzuru didn't quite understand what Might Guy meant.
That guy Obito studies academics?
"I'm home."
Uchiha Yuzuru returned home and found Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Shisui in the courtyard.
Hatake Kakashi was engrossed in reading a book whose cover was obscured, while Uchiha Obito was eating fruit nearby.
Uchiha Shisui, meanwhile, was sparring with Uchiha Itachi using kunai.
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru walk in, the three immediately stopped what they were doing, "Lord Yuzuru!"
Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow and placed the desserts into Uchiha Itachi's hands, "Itachi, take these back and eat them with your mother and the others."
"Mhm."
Uchiha Itachi happily took the desserts and ran towards the backyard.
After he left, Uchiha Yuzuru's gaze swept over Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Shisui.
Having not seen him for a while, Uchiha Obito's height was already close to 1.8 meters, and the childish innocence he had when wearing goggles as a child was no longer visible on his face.
Compared to him, Hatake Kakashi was half a head shorter.
"Obito, did you eat feed..."
Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
Uchiha Obito complained, "Brother Yuzuru, I'm not a pig, why would I eat feed?"
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and asked, "I heard you've been having Kakashi tutor you lately. How do you have time to come here?"
Hearing this, the dissatisfaction on Uchiha Obito's face became even more apparent.
He looked at Uchiha Yuzuru and said, "Brother Yuzuru, I'm worried sick, you have to help me."
Uchiha Yuzuru was confused, "What's the matter?"
"It's the Jonin exam!" Uchiha Obito vigorously scratched his hair, "Kakashi passed the exam and became a Jonin a year ago."
"But even now, I still haven't passed the exam."
After hearing Uchiha Obito's complaint, Uchiha Yuzuru understood and immediately said, "Obito, becoming a Jonin doesn't just depend on strength; you need to meet the Jonin standards in all other aspects as well."
The title of Jonin is already the ceiling for most people.
To become a Jonin, simply having great strength is not enough.
Because during missions, a Jonin often has to handle many things simultaneously.
Therefore, to become a Jonin, one must meet certain requirements in areas such as strength, leadership, theoretical knowledge, practical ability, and combat experience.
Just like the Hidden Cloud Village currently, there are many Ninja who possess Jonin level strength, but very few Ninja who can pass the exam and actually become a Jonin.
Given Uchiha Obito's intelligence, failing the Jonin exam is a perfectly normal thing.
"That's why I want you to help me, Brother Yuzuru!"
