Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou

"It's getting late. Let's call it a day."

Suddenly, Shirou's gentle voice echoed beside her ears. Just a moment ago, Tsunade had been deeply engrossed in gambling, her gambler's eyes red with desperation. But upon hearing those words, her bright brown pupils instantly cleared up.

From beginning to end, she had never truly lost herself in the game. Or perhaps it was the will of a ninja—gambling was merely a hobby, and she still had that level of self-control.

"Damn it, it's not even that late yet."

Tsunade didn't even notice her change—instead, she pouted slightly, almost as if she were acting spoiled.

Or rather, she wanted to play the role of this world's version of herself so that others wouldn't notice anything. Of course, this was also an excuse she gave herself deep down.

However, Shirou, who had always indulged her, merely smiled silently this time as he looked at her, which left Tsunade no choice but to wave her hand in defeat.

"Fine, fine. I'll stop since I can't argue with you."

Seeing Tsunade's childish temper, Shirou smiled and gently took the cards from her hands, placing them down. The other gamblers in the casino erupted into cheers once again.

"Damn it! I can't believe I lost so much tonight. Don't worry, I'll pay you back once we get back."

Tsunade spoke irritably, not expecting to have lost so much in just one careless night.
