Chapter 11: Gambling Madness
Sarutobi Asuma POV
I am very satisfied with my new team, not only is there Ino a little beauty I would love to soak, but there is also Nara Shikamaru.
Now don't misunderstand, although I am the son of my father Sarutobi Hiruzen, that doesn't mean that I have inherited his orientation. Yes, I know that my father likes men, he doesn't try to hide his preferences either. Since my mother, unfortunately, died during the Nine-tails attack, my father spends most of his free-time watching men. This wouldn't be a problem for me normally, I am somewhat of a hopeless romantic myself and love doesn't care about gender in my opinion, of course, age doesn't matter either. Cough Ino cough.
But sometimes my father looks at me with weird eyes that send shivers down my spine. My mother died, my elder brother died and my father had to shoulder the responsibility of Konoha by himself, maybe he has gone insane?
Ah, my thoughts got off track there. Anyway, what I was trying to say is that I am not interested in Shikamaru in that way, instead, I think he is suitable to be the heir to my legacy. As a Nara his intelligence is top-notch and he will definitely understand my wisdom on the topics of women and gambling. That's why I think I have gotten pretty lucky with my new team. I forgot Choji you say? Who cares about a fat man, I certainly don't. I'm afraid he will eat me if the food rations go out during a long mission.
As I was thinking, I reached the gate of my favorite place in Konoha. 'Gambling madness' (A/N: What a shitty name) is the biggest casino in this village and also the place where I make money with my god-like gambling skills.
"Young Master Asuma, it is an honor for me that you visit my humble establishment."
As I was about to go in, I was greeted by the owner of the gambling hall. How much I love this feeling, the respect I get at this place. Of course, I deserve it, not because of my identity as Hokage's son. No! Because I am powerful and part of the twelve guardians of the country of fire. These non-ninja peasants should be honored by my sheer presence.
But on the surface I still need to show a righteous and amiable front, the girls like this kind of powerful but kind person more. It awakens their childhood dreams of a knight in shining armor. Hehe ladies I would rather be the horse you ride instead. Cough.
"Oh, it's nice to meet you. I am here to enjoy myself today, you know my work as the guarding of the country of fire might get really stressful sometimes."
I purposefully said that out loud and glanced at the ladies inside who could hear my conversation without a trace.
"Of course Young Master Asuma, please come in. Young Master will certainly not be disappointed by my establishment."
The gambling hall owner respectfully lead the way and I followed after him. My eyes scanned the place roughly looking for a suitable woman to accompany me today. Soon my eyes were fixed on a beautiful woman, she had starlike eyes, eyebrows that showed the majesty of a phoenix, and jade-li-Stop! Wait, why the fuck am I describing her so strangely, and now that I think about it, why the hell did the owner call me Young Master Asuma? My eyes narrowed, like an eagle I cautiously looked around searching for a certain Chinese Novel-addict who had put me in Cultivation Vibes-genjutsu.
'Strange. There is no one. Am I imagining stuff? Forget it, enjoy the night, don't think so much.'
(A/N: I lower my hat and tighten my long coat. My genjutsu worked!)
Anyways the woman was very beautiful okay! She is not a character that has ever appeared in 'Naruto' so the description of her face and hair color is completely unnecessary.
I, Asuma, a certified gentleman can't let such a woman sit alone in this casino. So I walked towards her and smiled at her, my whole body shines brilliantly with confidence. She must have felt my masculinity too because she returned a shy smile. The smile was so cute, I felt my soul has healed and my chakra ran smoother.
"My name is Sarutobi Asuma, you should have heard of me, what's your name beautiful lady?"
At the word lady, she (or maybe he? evil laugh) froze for a moment but then returned to normal.
"My name is Analia."
"Analia. What a beautiful name. Would you like to accompany me tonight?"
I stretched my hand towards her and motioned towards the gambling table with my head. She blushed and lowered her head in shyness for a moment, but her hand had already firmly grasped mine.
'Strange, why do her hands feel so masculine? Must be my imagination again.'
I pulled her towards the Black Jack table and sat down with a confident smile on my face, it was time to earn myself some pocket money.
Three hours later.
General POV
"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! THERE MUST BE FRAUD, I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"
The pungent smell of alcohol and cigarettes was emitted from Asuma's body. His eyes were bloodshot and he was screaming loudly, making the other guest in the casino frightened.
A clerk cautiously stood up and said to Asuma.
"Si-Sir, the games are absolutely fair, please believe in the integrity of our casino."
Asuma was drunk and couldn't think straight, he waved his hands impatiently and hugged Analia with his other arm. Analia didn't resist but instead looked shy, the disgusting smell on him doesn't seem to affect her.
"Forget it. Go go go get me more chips! I need more chips!"
"But Sir, you have already borrowed a lot of money tonight."
"Just write it in the name of my father. He is the Hokage, are you worried that you won't get your money back? NOW GO!"
The clerk didn't dare to say anything else and ran to the backstage of the casino. As soon as he passed the door, the frightened and cautious expression from before disappeared, replaced by an emotionless and obedient look. He kneeled down in front of a man with bandages on his arm and eye.
"Danzo-sama, he wants to borrow more money."
"How much does he already owe?"
"It is 300 million ryo, Danzo-sama!"
"Borrow him more."
"Yes, Danzo-sama!"
The root-ninja disappeared instantly, leaving the thoughtful Danzo. The action today was arranged by him, he spiked Asuma's drinks a bit making him more irrational, and together with his personality traits, today's events were very easy to arrange. Analia is also part of his plan, although 'her' real name may surprise Asuma tomorrow.
'I hope you like my gift Hiruzen.'
The next morning.
Sarutobi Hiruzen POV.
I am running to the room of my unsatisfactory son. The news I got a few minutes ago almost made me faint in anger and I spit out a mouth of old blood (A/N Classic).
One billion ryo! Can you believe that? My son got such a high debt by gambling yesterday, this is already 15% of the money the Sarutobi-family can take out. Don't underestimate this 15%, I have been Hokage for many years and the assets of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, and even Minato Namikaze have all been swallowed by his family. 15% is a huge sum of money.
As soon as I appeared in front of the door to Asuma's room, I stormed in without a word. The sight and smell that appeared in the room made my anger reach a new peak. After accumulating such a huge debt, Asuma is sleeping with a pretty woman in his arm in a room that reeks of alcohol.
"ASUMA WAKE UP! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!"
The lady got scared awake and jumped up from the bed. As I subconsciously looked down, the anger in my heart disappeared without a trace. The little junior that is hanging down between the legs of the 'lady' make me stunned for a moment.
I turn my eyes towards my son who was groggily waking up at the moment and a sense of accomplishment and pride filled my heart. My son maybe not be that talented and smart, but it seems he has at least inherited my perfect taste. A tiger father does indeed not beget a dog son, I quickly wiped away the tear that is threatening to fall from my eye.
"Father, what happened? Why are you screaming early in the morning?"
I smiled at him gently and shook my head.
"It's nothing Asuma, you have fun. I'm leaving."
I turn around and leave the room. Isn't it just money? If that money can awaken my son's true nature and liberate him, then I am willing to pay them any day. I look towards the sky and seem to see the face of my dead wife.
'Biwako, I wish you could see this beautiful moment of our son truly maturing.'
