Hashirama said that he felt the casterâs control, but it seemed later that it was just a false alarm.
He turned in a false police report, and officer Uzumakiâs hunch told him that something wasnât right, so he put him under enchantment detentions for three days.
After serving his sentence and after three days, he was released, and officer Uzumaki put him under surveillance for another half month before he was free again.
âHashirama, was it really your imagination before?â
Hashirama hesitated for a moment, then squeezed out the words, âIâm not sure, Second Grandpa.â
Masahiko nodded thoughtfully, âMito, how about you?â
âI didnât notice anything unusual, but Hashirama wouldnât have imagined things for no reason.â
âYou think so?â Masahiko sighed.
He had been looking forward to the double men bun guyâs death, and it seems that this hope was going to fail him.
âHe didnât try to control Mito nor Hashirama, and he even cut off the connection. Heâs mostly trying to hide, to make me think he was dead. Itâs just that he didnât expect that Hashiramaâs awareness to be so sharp.â
âSo HashiramaâŚâ Masahiko looked up.\n
Hashirama nodded in understanding, opened his arms, and let Masahiko do things on him⌠mostly some Chakra seals.
âOkay, youâre good now. I donât need to watch you all the time. But even if you canât use Chakra, youâre still a killing machine, and you must always have a strong person by your sideâŚ.â
âGreat Grandpa, Iâm coming in.â Tsunade pushed the door in.
Masahiko smiled, âI thought you will be gambling your heartâs out in one of the casinos, Legendary Sucker?â(T/N: The Legendary Sucker: Densetsu no Kamo: A nickname she earned for being really bad at gambling.)
Tsunade waved her hand helplessly, âThese damn casinos have a problem with me. They made me think that I canât win. Next time I go there, I will tear them all down! You see, I was gambling with my grandfather these days, and Iâve won a few times, didnât I?â
Masahiko raised his eyebrows: âOh?â
Tsunade became more confident as she spoke and felt that it must be the casinoâs fault that she had been losing before.
âGrandfather, why donât we just open a casino here? A fair one too. If we keep gambling against each other, it will become boring eventually.â
Hashiramaâs eyes lit up, while Masahiko and Mito smiled bitterly at each other.
The sacrifices used to perform the Edo Tensei for both Mito and Hashirama should have the strength of a Jonin; thus, their current bodies can last for two or three years. But because the caster isnât dead, they could lose control at all times. Therefore, they canât live in the village or go to other places.
Tsunade decided to take care of Hashirama and Mito and stay here until their gone. In order to make this less boring, she discussed with Hashirama the idea of establishing âJustice CasinoâŚ.â\nHowever, no matter what name they were going to chose, Masahiko felt that it would definitely be âThe Legendary Suckers.â
âItâs going to be popular, especially if you call it the Suckers of Gambling.â Masahiko laughed, interrupting the discussion between the two, âYou two can open a casino, but as owner, you must set a rule for yourselves. For example, you can only gamble three times a dayâŚ.â
âWhy, Great Grandpa?â
âHmmâŚit will give the place a sense of mystery. Two mysterious owners, who only makes three shots a day, it will attract more experts.â
Tsunade nodded thoughtfully and started discussing with Hashirama again.
Mito smiled and said, âSecond Grandpa, why are you giving them ideas?â
Masahiko smiled, âWell, if they gamble without restrictions, the casino will go bankrupt in two days. But if we make it only three times a day, there will be countless gamblers rushing to compete for these opportunities. What Iâm trying to say⌠if theyâre going to open a casino, at least make it profitable, right?â
Masahiko smiled proudly, âEven after all these years, I still got it. I didnât expect this! Iâm truly a mind master!â
âMe neither, Second Grandpa.â
Masahiko nodded again and again, then noticed the smiled on Mitoâs face. âYou⌠well, thatâs fair.â
\nIn this way, Masahiko happily yielded 20 witness points.
Afterward, Masahiko discovered that maybe because of the sudden break of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Asuma hadnât joined the Twelve Guardian Ninjas⌠Eighteen Guardian Ninjas, so he suggested that Asuma must be sent there.
Hiruzen was still reluctant; he preferred to have his son by his sideâŚ. But Masahiko didnât care about that. In the original, Asuma joined the team and benefited from it. And even though he didnât know why Masahiko suggested this, Hiruzen agreed.
Therefore, he contacted the Daimyo and asked him to take his son as one of the guards, and just when he was about to send Asuma away, Masahiko came to find him again.
âI thought about it, youâre pretty old now, so itâs better to have your son by your side. Asuma, donât go. You donât need this kind of experience. I will teach you for five days instead.â
Hiruzen was left dumbfounded.
Masahiko smiled upon seeing how he completely witnessed and changed this plot, and it yielded him 50 witness points.
During this period, Masahiko kept doing similar things. Of course, these things he did were beneficial to the people involved, and even when that wasnât the case, he would compensate them like he did with Asuma.
Masahiko still disdains to do selfish things that can hurt others⌠For example, sending 16-year-old Anko to the Ninja Academy to be a teacher and turn her into a âsweet potato.â
Until the end of February, Konoha 55th, Masahiko finally did everything he could remember and gained 130 witness points in total.
âIâm 5 points short. I must level up the Yang Attribute to max level. Now, where can I gain it?â Masahiko was a little worried.
Before Masahiko could think of a way, he heard this, âThe Legendary Suckersâ will open on March 1, and gamblers from all over the country will be welcomed there.
