"Are you satisfied now?"
"Satisfied, my ass!"
Tsunade finally realized what was going on—this bastard was playing word games with her. She raised her arm and chopped sideways with a flat palm.
Tōshirō quickly ducked to avoid the strike.
"Oh? You even dare to dodge?!"
Tsunade twisted her waist and followed up with a horizontal knee kick.
Tōshirō had already anticipated her anticipation. As he ducked, the power was already building in his bent knees, just waiting for her to move. The moment she kicked, he jumped backward, narrowly avoiding the fierce leg whip. Taking advantage and still acting cheeky, he grinned,"Hehe, you missed."
Tsunade stomped her foot in frustration."Come here! I promise I won't kill you!"
Tōshirō stopped teasing her, raised both hands in surrender, and gave in,"Alright, alright, it's my fault, okay? You're the bigger person—please let the small fry off the hook."
Seeing his sincere apology, Tsunade's attitude softened."That's more like it."
Tōshirō, knowing how to play the game, asked,"So how would you like me to make it up to you?"
Tsunade pouted with a smirk,"Heh~ At least you know how to admit your mistakes."
Tōshirō replied cheerfully,"Of course! I'm sincerely apologizing here."
"Heh~"
Then Tōshirō grinned mischievously and suggested,"How about I give you a kiss, a hug, and lift you high up?"
"Get lost!" Tsunade scoffed, her soft pink lips curling."You're just trying to take advantage of me. Besides, who needs to be lifted up like a kid? I'm not a child."
"Then let's just stick with the kiss and hug."
Before she could react, Tōshirō stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Tsunade panicked a little."Let go of me!"
"Didn't you say you wanted a kiss and a hug?"
"When did I ever say that?! Don't just make decisions on your own!"
Tōshirō leaned in close to Tsunade's ear, gently exhaled a warm breath, and whispered,"Really? You sure you don't want it?"
"Of course I don't! You perv—if you keep being so handsy, I'm reporting you for sexual harassment and having you locked up for life!"
The warm breath tickled her ear, making it burn. Tsunade's eyes softened, and her body weakened a little, her cheeks reddening.
"Sluuuurp…"
"???"
"That taste… smells like a lie."
Tsunade snapped back to her senses, her eyes suddenly opening wide.
The sensation was warm, wet, and slightly textured—he licked her cheek. She'd been defiled. Her face felt like it was going to rot off.
"You just licked—"
She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence—it was too embarrassing.
They'd kissed plenty of times before, but this was a first.
Tōshirō immediately said,"I'm a dog."
"Huh?"Tsunade was caught off guard—his answer didn't even follow normal logic.
"Like you said, I'm a dog. A large breed. A shameless, clingy dog."
"..."
"So, as a dog, it's perfectly normal for me to lick you, right?"Tōshirō's skin was now so thick it could rival armor. If shamelessness were ranked like shinobi, he'd definitely be Kage-level.
"Normal your ass!"
Tsunade smacked him hard on the head.
This time, Tōshirō didn't dodge. He got a bump on his head.
"I'm leaving."
Tsunade turned sharply, her legs clad in fishnet stockings striding away.
She wasn't actually mad. Unlike the freeloading Tōshirō, she held important responsibilities in Konoha.
"Tsunade, swing by my room tonight."
Just as she was leaving, Tōshirō called out.
Tsunade froze mid-step and turned back in shock."You—what did you just say?"
"Tonight, come to my room…"
Those words, coming from a man to a woman, were just too suggestive.
"Did I not say it clearly enough?"
Tōshirō repeated it.
His actual plan was to use Tsunade to help train his Sharingan tonight, making her a kind of practice dummy.
It was a sudden idea, and he was worried he might forget later.
So he told her in advance. That way, even if he forgot, Tsunade would remember and come find him to help train his dojutsu.
He already had a plan—basically, he would cast genjutsu on her.
This way, not only would his Sharingan improve, but Tsunade's resistance to genjutsu would also benefit. A win-win situation.
As for how ambiguous the phrasing was, or whether it sounded like an innuendo—Tōshirō claimed ignorance.
He was just speaking casually. No way he was thinking that far ahead.
But what he said without thinking... got interpreted very differently.
Tsunade, blushing and flustered, muttered,"Why does it have to be at night? Can't we do it during the day?"
Tōshirō replied without hesitation,"Mm, daytime's inconvenient."
He thought to himself,Of course it is—I can't risk using the Sharingan in broad daylight. Night's much safer.
So Clever, So Very Me.
Heh heh...
Upon hearing those words, Tsunade's thoughts went even further off track, and she began to stammer:"D-Daytime... it's inconvenient?"
Tōshirō let out a breath."Yeah, if someone sees us in broad daylight... that'd be bad."
Tsunade lowered her head, her small, delicate face burying itself into her own chest. Her cheeks were burning, and in her shy state, she didn't want anyone to see her like this.
It was at moments like these that the advantage of having a "larger" bust became apparent—it could hide her whole face.
To be honest... she wasn't really opposed to doing that kind of thing with Tōshirō.
She just didn't expect it to happen so soon!
She wasn't even mentally prepared...
But when she thought about it more carefully, it actually made sense. After all, the two of them were already living together. Naturally, doing "that" next was just a matter of time. Nothing too surprising.
She had even quietly asked around a bit. In fact, compared to others, Tōshirō was pretty slow about it.
Most couples—men and women—do that kind of thing first, then talk about moving in together.
But with her and Tōshirō, they'd skipped the "doing it" part and gone straight to cohabiting.
Sigh... She really should've seen this coming.
She had been too naive. Too innocent.
She hadn't realized this guy had such wolfish ambitions—the "wolf" in "pervert" kind of wolf.
Tōshirō asking to live with her must've had that kind of intention from the start.
And if she really thought about it, it added up—Tōshirō was always getting handsy with her, always sneaking a grope when he could.
That damn Tōshirō, she fumed. So that's what you were after all along.
Now he probably thought the time was ripe, so he wasn't even pretending anymore, huh?
Tōshirō, seeing her with her head buried like an ostrich, felt a bit puzzled. He reached out and placed a hand on her forehead, gently lifting it—only to be shocked by how red her face was, and burning hot too. Anyone else might have thought she had a high fever.
"What's wrong with you?"
"N-Nothing."
Tsunade avoided his gaze, speaking vaguely. Then, picking up where they left off, she looked uneasy and said,"But... if we do that... Nawaki is still around."
They weren't the only ones in the house—her younger brother Nawaki lived with them too.
"Nawaki? That's not a big deal." Tōshirō replied casually.
Tsunade was dumbfounded.How is that not a big deal?!
Nawaki was still young. There's no way he could see that!
What if he saw something he shouldn't? What if he picked up bad habits?
And even worse—what if he saw them, how could she ever face her little brother again?
How would he view her in the future?
"I'm worried Nawaki might see," Tsunade said, concerned.
Tōshirō found the wording oddly suggestive, but couldn't put his finger on why."No worries. Just close the door when we do it, right?"
Close the door...?
Even closing the door wouldn't help!
She'd heard that "doing that kind of thing" can be really loud...
As if she were summoning all the courage in her body, Tsunade took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, hesitated a moment, and finally made up her mind:"...Alright. I understand now…"
I'm going to give it to him anyway—might as well be tonight.
This guy's really hitting the jackpot.
???
Understand... what, exactly?Tōshirō suddenly felt like he couldn't keep up with her thought process. For some reason, it felt like they were chatting across servers.
Wait... are we even talking about the same thing?
He had just started to ask, "Wait, are we really talking about—"
Before he could finish, Tsunade interrupted with a voice full of determination:"Fine! I'll do it, I'll do it, okay?!"
Tōshirō: ???
Are we really having the same conversation right now?
Why do you look like you're about to get ravished by a wild dog?!
Just as he was about to question her properly, Tsunade suddenly burst into a sprint and vanished in a cloud of dust, coughing fits from the kicked-up dirt leaving Tōshirō confused and disoriented.
"Cough cough..."
Tōshirō was completely baffled.
Meanwhile, Tsunade was running with her face burning red. Along the way, several people greeted her, but she ignored them all.
Are you kidding? Who has the time to chat right now?!
She darted through the streets, heading straight for the Ninja Academy.
Before long, she arrived at the school gate, standing in front of the iron fence.
Tonight... I'm going to give my most precious thing to Tōshirō.
But before that—she needed to "handle" one obstacle first.
Forgive me, Nawaki...
For the sake of your sister's happiness... I'll have to "deal with" you for the night.
I'm such a selfish big sister...
