Tsunade shook the dice in the vessel three times to the left and three times to the right. The suitcase to the side was filled with banknotes. This marked the final round of the gamble, and Tsunade had placed all the money she had brought as collateral on the line. The gamblers leaned forward greedily, their minds filled with fantasies of the company of beautiful women and sake. Tsunade, however, rolled her eyes; she wasn't in the business of creating winners and losers. It was more accurate to say that she had long grown accustomed to losing. Taking a deep breath, she snapped the vessel onto the table.

"Well, I guess luck favored me this time."

Tsunade remarked in a lazy tone, her fingers resting thoughtfully on her cheeks as she gestured for you to lift the heavy loot. The dumbfounded gamblers, lost in their daydreams, watched you leave, their mouths agape like trees in a forest.

"Strange, winning in such an unusual way."

Tsunade mused, her eyes narrowing in thought.

"Does this mean I'm the harbinger of luck? Nah, that wouldn't be fair to Shizune... Maybe I've just used up all my luck for a lifetime in one go. Let's hope this isn't a bad omen."

Tsunade yawned, casually adjusting the collar of her kimono with one hand.
