HALLOOOO! IT IS I, JINSOKUNA! You must call me Jinso, though. You can add any suffix you want to it. ANYWAYS, IT IS TIME FOR CHAPTER 40! I never thought I'd make it this far. This is the longest story out of the three I have done. HOORAY! Hansuke, would you do the disclaimers?

Hansuke: Sure! Jinso does not own Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, or any characters affiliated with them. He does own my best friend, Aaron, Rich, May, me, of course, Illyon, HGOPAMLB, Bracxious, that fucking bastard, the elves, Ra'drith, and Endor.

Thank you very much! Are you all ready for some poker? Well, you're gettin' some! Not that some, you ero-bakas! YOU WILL HAVE POKER! YOU CAN TAKE MY LIFE, BUT YOU NEVER TAKE MY PIE! YAARRRRGHHHHH!

Hansuke:...Nice Braveheart impression!

Why, thank you! Here you go, peoples!

Rule 35: It's all in the cards. No, not Yu-gi-oh, though I do like to play that. (It's true. It's a good strategy game.)

Normal POV

Rich awoke to birds chirping and bright sunshine. (thought it was going to be Aaron, didn't ya?) It blinded him, and he fell sideways out of bed.

"Damn you, Beatles for making that song 'Here Comes the Sun'..." He mumbled after his face hit the wooden floor. He got up on his feet like a ninja would: with badass smoke and lightning fast-movements.

"If that song didn't fit right now, I'd have the Aaron resurrect the Beatles, and kick their asses..." Rich said as he walked over to his dresser.

"What to wear today..."

With May

May rose out of bed with a yawn and the sound of her lips smacking. She walked over to her mirror, and her eyes widened at her semi-big (read: hu-frickin'-mongo-giganticous) bedhead. Her eye twitched a little, as she hated having bed head, and she calmly grabbed a hairbrush. She then yanked and tugged on her hair with the brush, trying to straighten it out. After many minutes of pulling her hair and cursing the pink skull-covered unicorn that loved to torment her from somewhere in the skies above. Then a knock came at her door.

"Yes?" She called out.

"A-Are you awake?" Hinata's voice asked.

"Yep! Come on in!" May told her. Hinata entered, dressed in her pajamas.

"How are you doing today, Hinata?" May asked. Hinata gave a small smile.

"Good."

"So what's up?"

"W-Well, I thought you might want t-to know that father is entering a poker tournament tonight. The minimum amount of money required to play is 10,000,000 Ryu." She told her sister.

"A poker tournament? Rich and Aaron will definitely be there." May said with a devious grin.

"What are you thinking about?" Hinata asked.

"Aaron's gonna win." Was all May said. She then closed her eyes. Her right shoulder glowed, and she opened them again.

"What was that?" Hinata asked with her Byakugan activated, having seen that May's chakra had spiked a little.

"I was just telepathically telling Aaron that there was a poker tournament, and also the price." She explained. Hinata cocked her head a little.

"There's something I have to tell you." May said with a sigh. She motioned for Hinata to sit down on her bed, which lay beside the wall. Hinata sat down, and May began.

"A month ago, I discovered something pretty incredible. I found out that I am what's known as one of the Dragon Warriors."

"Dragon Warriors?"

"Yes. They're an ancient group of fighters who go into battle alongside dragons. I was given a dragon egg, and it hatched a month ago, yesterday."

"What's a dragon?" Hinata asked curiously.

"That is something I want to show you. Endor, you can come on out." May called. The sound of claws raking a little bit against wood was heard, and Endor came from the side of May's bed.

"That's what a d-dragon is?" May nodded.

"Pleased to meet you, Hinata." Endor said. Hinata gasped.

"It can talk?" She asked incredulously. Endor blew a puff of smoke out of his nostrils.

"I prefer to be referred to as a 'he'." He told her. Hinata looked about ready to faint.

"Don't faint. You two can converse for a while if you want. Endor, even though he is only a month old, is stronger than most human beings." May told her. With that, she left Hinata and Endor to themselves and went to go see what was going on inside the compound.

Aaron's House

Aaron sat up in bed slowly, yawning all the while. The time on his clock said 10:00AM. Suddenly, May's voice blossomed inside his head.

'Just to let you know, Aaron, there's a poker tournament tonight, and you might want to tell Rich. You need 10,000,000 Ryu per person to play.' Before he could respond, their connection faded. He shrugged, got out of bed, and walked to Rich and Naruto's house to tell them. After that, he went to find Hansuke, who had actually spent the night in the forest.

"So what's up?" Hansuke asked.

"There's a poker tournament tonight, and I'm entering along with Rich. You wanna come?" Aaron asked him with a grin. Hansuke got what he meant, but refused.

"I'm fine. I assume you want me to give you some luck?" He asked. Aaron just grinned more. Hansuke sighed.

"Alright then." He made a very complicated sign with his hands, one which I will not describe for fear of running out of pages in Word (XD). A symbol appeared beneath Aaron's feet, and he glowed a little. His glow and the symbol vanished, and he thanked Hansuke, then went to prepare for the tournament.

10:00PM, the finest bar in Konoha

Aaron and Rich walked through the door, having gotten $20,000,000 each from the elven goddess of money. They both sat down in chairs next to each other, and looked around. Each of the clan heads was there, and so was Tsunade, Danzo Shimura, and Homura. Anko, Kurenai, May, and the genin were also watching, seeing what would happen. Aaron was obviously now the clan head for the Uchiha, and Rich was the Uzumaki clan head. Everyone cashed in 10,000,000 for chips and the games began. It started out with Aaron winning the first hand with a straight. Slowly, the game progressed on, with everyone taking a drink of sake at intervals. Later, the major betting began. The cards were dealt, and everyone was focused. Chouza won a hand with a full house. Then Hiashi won with a royal flush.

"Let's see if you all can beat me," Tsunade said, not revealing her cards. Many clan heads began sweating. Aaron just stayed emotionless at the sight of his cards. His face was made of stone. On the inside, though, he was grinning from ear to ear. The pot right now was 250,000 Ryu. Shikaku folded, as did Inoichi, Chouza, Tsume, Danzo, Homura, Shibi, and Rich. Only Hiashi and Aaron were left. Hiashi called. Aaron wanted more of a challenge, so he said,

"I will wager it." He said. Everyone gasped at him.

"You wouldn't!" Rich said in disbelief. Aaron unsheathed Hisōzōsha from his back, but willed the flames not to burst, and laid it on the table.

"I would." Tsunade and Hiashi both nodded. Tsunade was first to reveal hers.

"Full house, queen high." Everyone stared, silence all about. Hiashi then smirked.

"Full house, king high." He said. The watchers and Tsunade gawped. Aaron then grew a major smirk. Hiashi and Tsunade both paled at his expression.

"Full house, ace high." He said. The jaws of every person in the room but him broke through the floor. He just packed his cards together, and scooped the pot towards him.

"Next round~!" He proclaimed. The cards were shuffled, then dealt again. Everyone watched with intent as the game went on. Soon, Hiashi, Tsunade, Inoichi, and Homura were all drunk.

"I...I'm g-going to wager my house in the-the land of Nude Beaches." Hiashi said while swaying in his seat.

"Plus, o-one of my country ma-mansions and a m-maid." He added. Everyone gasped. If you had looked carefully, you would see a bulge in the pants of every adult male in the room. He must've really thought he could win if he wagered that.

"I'll wager all my sake!" Tsunade announced. Everyone gasped harder. Aaron just smirked and revealed his cards. Four of a kind.

"DAMMIT!" Tsunade shouted. And so, the rounds went on, with Homura passing out on the floor, Chouza running off to get food and not coming back, Shibi passing out with his head on the table, and Rich slumping in his chair. Aaron showed Rich's cards.

"Damn, he could've won, had he not passed out." He remarked. Some more rounds went on, with the game nearing its end. Only Tsume, Danzo, Aaron, Tsunade, and Hiashi were still conscious or there by then.

"This round is winner takes all." Tsunade told them. They all nodded.

"Everyone, wager what you have." They began thinking of things they could wager.

"I wi-will wager the Hot-(urk)-Hot Springs." (Bet you know who!)

"I'll wager my favorite bo staff." Danzo.

"I'll wager all my money." Tsume.

"Same here." Tsunade.

"I'll wager my compound, my sword, all my money, and...the title of 'King of the Elven Race'." Aaron said grimly. Everyone looked at him in utter shock and disbelief. Was he insane?

"King of the Elven Race?" Danzo asked. Aaron nodded.

"As you guys know, the person I defeated just yesterday was my father, Bracxious—damn him to hell—oh, wait, he's already there—who I hate with all my guts. What you might not have known is that he was the king of the elves before he became corrupt. Since I am his son, I have the right to the title of the king of the elves." He explained. They stood in shock. He would seriously bet all of that?

"Now show your cards." Aaron ordered. Tsume revealed first.

"Three of a kind." Then it was Danzo.

"A full house, queen high." Then Tsunade.

"Full house, king high." Second to last, it was Hiashi.

"Four pairs, suckers! Ha!" He then swayed and his head banged on the table loudly. They stopped and looked at his cards.

"Man, he must've been really drunk if he thought he had four pairs!" Tsunade exclaimed. Hiashi had no pairs or any good cards at all. Finally it was Aaron.

"Four of a kind." Jaws dropped one by one all around the room, making a sort of music. He just scooped up the winnings, which was 40,000,000 Ryu, and sealed them in a scroll.

"I really just need the money. You all can keep your belongings and such." Aaron said.

"I need to go visit a friend." He then told them. Then he just teleported away, leaving a stunned crowd and Hiashi getting his head shoved into a bucket of water.

Aaron reappeared in a room filled with money, gold, and gems. There he saw a lime-green haired woman sitting on the floor, counting all the cash.

"Hey, Moneyyeah." Aaron said. (It's pronounced: Muh-nee-yeah.)

"Uggghhh!" She cried out. Then she got up off the floor and walked over to him.

"You made me lose count!" Moneyyeah yelled. She was about to yell again when he unsealed his poker chips.

"Is that all for me?" She asked. He rubbed his head sheepishly.

"Actually, half." She scowled.

"You get 20,000,000 Ryu." She instantly brightened up. He gave her half of the chips, and she turned the ones he had left into cash.

"Thanks!" He said. Then he just disappeared and reappeared back at the bar. Nearly everyone had gone, the genin had left, and Rich was awake.

"Damn, man, you won 40,000,000 bucks? Niiiice." Rich said. Aaron shrugged.

"It's a gift."

"So what are you going to do with the money?"

"I don't know. I'll have to think." They were silent for a moment, but it wasn't awkward (thank god, or else a gay baby would've been born!). Then Aaron said,

"Let's go guys." Rich, May, Anko, and Aaron then started walking together towards the district where their houses were. Somewhere along the way, Anko felt a hand on her butt. So she turned around, along with everyone else, to see a guy grinning at her suggestively. But the moment he saw Aaron's expression, he looked ready to piss his pants. Everyone felt a massive spike of power. So his friends turned to see Aaron seething beyond all belief, his eyes full of rage and fury. They all began to back away as a golden glow started forming around him. His eyes turned golden as well. The ground underneath him started wavering, and was being crushed under his awesome power, forming a large crater. His muscles bulged and grew a little bit bigger. In a single moment, he grabbed the man's neck and slammed him into a wall.

"Listen to me!" He barked with a deep voice, which sounded mixed with another, more ancient voice.

"Never do that again! Back on my homeworld, you would have been flogged for doing such a thing! If you ever try that again, your life will be hell before you even get there!" He yelled at the man, who was flinching under his tone and the volume of his voice.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" Aaron asked at a booming volume. The man nodded in fear.

"Now get control of your hormones, and GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SIGHT!" He finished. He let go of the man, and he scampered away, with everyone else that was out on the streets staring at him. He just flew off with his glow still around him.

YAY FOR CHAPTER 40! I hate my other older sister right now. Yes, I have two sisters. I'm the youngest in my family. She yells at me for getting food when it's after dinner. She thinks she's the boss of me, and she even threatens to hurt me for not doing what she says. As if she could hurt me. I could kick her ass with one hand lopped off! Yep, I hate her guts right now. I feel like sacrificing her to Jashin-sama for everything she does! KABOOM! MUAHAHAHAHA! Damn fucking control freak bitch...Well, I shouldn't bore you with my personal problems, so goodbye!
