History

When Jiraiya comes hunting for word of Tsunade, Chohan sits down to gamble with him, wagering that very information. He nearly wins the round, a victory that would have set Jiraiya back a thousand ryo, but Naruto's Rasengan training nearby throws off the game and hands Jiraiya the answer at no cost. Fittingly, the name 'Chohan', written one way, refers to a dice game of odds and evens, gambling itself.
