Sure enough, Xin could pretend to be clueless and play haphazardly, but Minato, who wasn't yet familiar with the rules of the game, had no choice but to play cautiously.
In the end, Minato ended up as the biggest winner, which also meant Xin won a decent amount as well.
Tsunade kept insisting on being the dealer, trying to win back everything she'd lost. But instead of recouping her losses, she ended up losing all of Nawaki's allowance as welll.
"You little brat, I'll remember this! I'm going to settle the score with Jiraiya!" Tsunade could handle losing to Xin, but losing to Minato? That was infuriating!
Jiraiya, you'd better watch out!
Meanwhile, out on the battlefield, Jiraiya, who had just finished an ambush, suddenly shivered as a chill ran up his spine.
"Orochimaru, do you feel a sudden chill?"
I think you're just being an idiot.
Orochimaru shot him a disdainful glance, not even bothering to reply.
In Orochimaru's eyes, Jiraiya had always been a fool.
Jiraiya, unfazed by the cold shoulder and disdain, laughed it off, scratching his wet, white hair. He decided to change the subject, asking, "Now that Tsunade's back, don't you think we
should return to the camp for some rest?"
Ninjas are human too; they get tired. They're not machines.
"Once we deal with this wave of enemies, we'll head back tomorrow."
Orochimaru was as terse as ever when it came to Jiraiya.
Simply put, they don't see eye to eye, and even a brief conversation feels like too much. There's just nothing for them to talk about.
Orochimaru's mind is always on jutsu and getting stronger, while Jiraiya's is always on women...
How could someone like Orochimaru, who doesn't even care about gender, possibly have a normal conversation with him?
It was bearable when Tsunade was around, but with her gone, the atmosphere between them was unbearably awkward.
It's a good thing Orochimaru hasn't turned evil yet, or Jiraiya would be even more miserable.
"Don't be so down. When we get back to Konoha, I'll treat you to a feast and a hot spring. It's just a little allowance; no need to look so glum."
Xin tried to comfort Nawaki.
"But it was my money!"
