Jiraiya demonstrated first. Holding a plastic ball, as he continuously concentrated chakra in his palm, the plastic ball turned into powder.
"Naruto, give it a try." Jiraiya threw a plastic ball to Naruto.
Naruto looked solemn. He continuously concentrated chakra in his palm, and the plastic ball directly exploded without reaching the level of turning it into powder.
"Give me another plastic ball." Naruto reached out for the plastic ball. Jiraiya took out another one from his backpack and threw it to Naruto.
This time, under the gazes of Sasuke and Hinata, Naruto successfully used his chakra to turn the plastic ball into powder.
Jiraiya was extremely shocked. He knew Naruto had amazing talent, but he didn't expect it to be this high.
Jiraiya thought to himself: Forth Hokage spent three years creating this ninjutsu, and I spent a lot of time mastering it. Now it seems that Naruto can master it faster than me.
"Naruto enters the third stage." Jiraiya handed Naruto an inflated balloon.
"This is an inflated balloon. Concentrate your chakra within the balloon without bursting it."
Sasuke secretly activated his Sharingan[b]Sharingan[/b] and observed that the balloon was trembling violently. Obviously, the balloon was filled with chakra, yet it didn't burst this fragile balloon.
"Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b]!" Hinata also activated her Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b], seeing more clearly.
She could see that Jiraiya's chakra was concentrated into a sphere in his palm and formed inside the balloon.
Hinata was shocked. 'What a miracle!' she thought. 'It's just an ordinary inflated balloon. Injecting chakra directly into it to form a chakra sphere without bursting it. The delicate control of chakra is beyond my knowledge.'
Naruto's expression became even more solemn. After trying several times, he failed every time.
The balloon was too fragile. As long as a little chakra was injected, it would directly explode.
"Ha ha ha..." Jiraiya burst out laughing and said, "Finally, it stumps you. If you learn everything too smoothly, it's not a good thing. Only by experiencing some setbacks can you grow better."
Naruto frowned unhappily. What a stupid theory. What's wrong with learning things smoothly? It's a bad thing when you can't learn no matter how hard you try.
However, Naruto didn't care at all because he had already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b], and with the help of Karin, he could teleport back to Konoha at any time to find Karin to help him train.
Along the way, Sasuke and Hinata were playing with water balloons while Naruto looked leisurely.
After a night, they arrived at Shortcake Street. Naruto suggested going straight to the casino because it was morning, the time when gamblers go all - out in their bets, and at night, it was the time when gamblers lost all their money.
Jiraiya thought it made sense, so they headed straight for the largest casino in Shortcake Street.
As soon as Naruto and his group stepped into the casino, they immediately saw a familiar figure, wearing a green robe with a "gambling" character written on the back and with long ponytails tied up.
"We really found her." Finding Tsunade was expected, but it was much easier than Jiraiya thought.
Naruto walked over and found that everyone was gambling on whether the result would be big or small, and there was a full box of money in front of Tsunade.
Naruto glanced at Tsunade and saw that she looked very tense. It seemed she was really engrossed in the gambling.
Tsunade was so engrossed in gambling that she didn't notice Jiraiya's arrival, nor did she realize that Naruto was standing beside her.
"How did you get in? Get out quickly! You're not welcome here!" One of the casino thugs blocked Hinata and tried to drive her away in a very rude manner.
Naruto's veins popped out instantly. He quickly stepped forward to protect Hinata and said, "Do you want to die?"
Killing intent radiated from Naruto. If anyone dared to hurt Hinata, Naruto would kill them right then and there.
Jiraiya looked worried. He noticed that Naruto had a very strong killing intent. If it wasn't corrected in time, Naruto might go down the wrong path.
Due to Naruto's excessive killing intent, Tsunade finally noticed him. Tsunade glanced at Naruto and thought to herself: Where did this little brat come from? He's really ruining my gambling mood.
One of the casino thugs quickly explained, "She has the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b]. No casino in the world allows people with the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b] to enter. It's an industry rule."
"Yeah," another thug echoed. "She's breaking our rules by entering the casino. She was the one who made the mistake first."
Hinata felt wronged. She had no idea about such a rule and had never heard of it before. If she had known about this rule in advance, she definitely wouldn't have entered the casino.
Actually, a long time ago, those with the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b] were allowed to enter casinos. However, later, a man named Hyuga Tengu used the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b] to cheat in the casino and even brought down most of the well - known casinos in the Five Great Nations.
So, the casinos established an unwritten rule that no one with the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b] was allowed to enter.
"Your place has such a dumb rule?" Naruto got angry instantly. He didn't like this unwritten rule set by the casino.
"It's time to change the rules of this world," Naruto said. Then he asked Sasuke to take Hinata out of the casino.
After Sasuke and Hinata left the casino, they stood at the entrance waiting. Naruto was worried about Hinata being alone, so he asked Sasuke to go with her.
Since Sasuke was a bit slow - witted, Naruto was quite relieved to let Sasuke stay with Hinata.
Sasuke directly stepped up to the gambling table, took out a large bag of money from his bosom, and shouted, "Let's start."
"Tsk, kid," Tsunade, who was next to him, glanced at Naruto and said, "Your money isn't even enough to cover your losses. Go home quickly."
"Do you think having more money means you'll win? To win money, you need to have the right vibe, and my vibe is stronger than yours."
"What! Kid! How dare you compare the vibe of gambling with me—" Tsunade rolled up her sleeves and shouted angrily, "I've been gambling long before you were even born."
Jiraiya beside them was stunned. He didn't expect Naruto to gamble with Tsunade on the same table.
Next, they were gambling on big or small. Naruto let Tsunade place her bet first. Anyway, if Tsunade bet on big, Naruto would bet on small; if Tsunade bet on small, Naruto would bet on big, always betting against Tsunade.
After round after round of gambling, Tsunade kept losing money, while Naruto kept winning.
At this time, Jiraiya finally got it. So this was the method Naruto had mentioned, the surefire way to win money.
By this time, the people at the casino finally felt the pressure. Tsunade bet a fixed amount each time, while Naruto doubled his bet.
Tsunade lost a fixed amount in every round, and the chips in the box became fewer and fewer.
After Naruto won a game, he bet all his chips again. With each passing round, Naruto's chips doubled.
All the money Tsunade lost went to Naruto, and at the same time, the casino was also losing money like crazy.
By this point, the casino finally realized something was wrong. Tsunade was a famous gambler, but she always lost and never won. She was called a 'cash - cow' in the gambling circle.
Naruto, following Tsunade, this so - called 'cash - cow', and betting the opposite way, ended up making a fortune.
