Chapter 4!
"Welcome, everyone, to the regularly scheduled, semi-annual clan-head's poker night. Naruto, Yakumo, and Sasuke, since this your first time participating, Asuma will explain the rules." Hiruzen says as soon as everyone sits down.
Asuma nods. "The rules are simple. Instead of betting pocket money like in regular poker, we bet clan property or members. Money can still be bet, but it comes out of the clan accounts rather than out of our personal ones, and any money we win goes into our clan's accounts rather than our personal ones. As the Hokage, dad doesn't bet, and is instead just here as a witness and to record bets. He is also the dealer."
Naruto nods. "Seems simple enough."
Sasuke just grunts.
Yakumo shyly nods.
"To help everyone get comfortable, let's start small." Shikaku says. "I'll bet the meat from 3 of my clan's deer."
Inoichi nods. "Agreed. I'll bet unlimited free shopping for the next month at the Yamanaka Flower Shop."
"Unlimited free food at the Akamichi Barbeque House for a month." Choza says.
Tsume shrugs. "Any 5 Animals at the Inuzuka Animal Shelter."
It continues around the table, each clan head betting free stuff that their clan normally sells, until it gets to Naruto.
"Well, the Uzumaki Clan doesn't really sell anything, so I'll just bet 10000 ryo." He says with a shrug.
Sasuke grunts. "Unlimited free shopping at my mom's vegetable shop for a month."
"A portion of my clan's land." Yakumo says.
"All bets are recorded." Hiruzen says, before dealing the cards.
Naruto takes one glance at his hand before placing it face down on the table.
When the time comes for everyone to reveal their hand, they all stare in shock at Naruto, who has a royal flush.
"I take it I win?"
Hiruzen laughs. "Indeed you do, Naruto."
"Right, time for round 2 of 30." Asuma says. "Everyone state your bets."
As the night goes on, Naruto only loses one time, Sasuke having won that hand, having bet 20000 ryo. Finally, it's time for the final round.
"Last round." Asuma says. "Make your final bets. As this is the final round, hands shall be dealt before bets are made. Please Ensure that your bets for this round are the highest stakes bets that you've made all night."
Everyone nods.
"I'll go first." Asuma says once the cards are dealt. "I will bet my sister, Yukiko Sarutobi, as a slave."
"Same bet." Shikaku says. "But my wife, Yoshino Nara, rather than my sister, as I am an only child."
"I'll bet my niece, Neiko Hyuuga, as breeding stock. She is already having her body conditioned for the purpose of becoming breeding stock at her request." Hiashi says.
Surprisingly enough, Sasuke is next. "My mother, Mikoto Uchiha, as a slave."
"My niece, Chocho Akamichi, as whatever you want." Choza says.
"An open marriage contract with my daughter." Inoichi says.
"My daughter, Hana Inuzuka, as breeding stock." Tsume says.
"Suzumebachi Kamizuru, last of the Kamizuru clan, as breeding stock, which she is already being conditioned as." Shibi says.
"Everything I have won all night, plus an open marriage contract with mine and Naruko's first child, it will be written up after said child is born."
"Wait, Naruto, Naruko's pregnant?" Hiruzen asks.
Naruto nods. "Yes, she is, as of yesterday."
Hiruzen nods. "We can talk about it at a later date. Now, though, Yakumo, make your final bet for the night."
"Everything the Kurama Clan owns, or rather owned as I'm the last of the clan, as well as myself as breeding stock." She says, staring at Naruto, clearly hoping that he wins.
"All bets are recorded." Hiruzen says. "Reveal your hands."
Everyone does as directed. For a moment, it looks like Yakumo won, as she has a straight flush, but then Naruto reveals his, winning once again, with a royal flush.
"I win, again." Naruto says.
"Indeed you do, Naruto." Hiruzen says. "And with that, the semi-annual clan head poker night comes to a close. Winnings will be finalized tomorrow, but for now, everyone go home and rest."
With that, everyone, sans-Naruto and Yakumo, leaves the room and heads home.
