Chapter 375: A Long-awaited Meeting

Chapter 375: A Long-awaited Meeting

*

Meanwhile, after a long and boring wait, Naruto decided to switch to sake. He did not particularly like to drink in the morning, but since he had nothing else to do, he had to entertain himself with alcohol ...

"If you think about it, the set month for Akita will soon pass..." He spoke out loud, putting his feet on the table and already completely relaxed.

All preparations were completed, it remains only to wait for Tsunade.

"Although, I don't believe her, something tells me that she's not so cowardly ... But if this dog has the courage to betray, I'll have to reward her." Two dogs on a leash, what could be more beautiful?

Training a pair of Inuzuka bitches... Pretty interesting stuff.

- Hm?

And suddenly, Naruto's sparkling gaze shifted towards the door.

- And here you are...

And as soon as he raised his cup in greeting, the door swung open without knocking! At the same moment, a fair-haired beast flew into the hallway like a hurricane!

"Wow..." Naruto took a sip of sake and tilted his head to the side in interest.

- That's where we met. How I missed...

— Uzumaki! Tsunade suddenly growled, and then caught herself and exhaled. Hinata wasn't there, only him. All her confidence, as if bit by bit, began to dissipate just from one of his gaze.

Putting her thoughts in order, the kunoichi lifted her chin proudly and walked towards the table with heavy steps. Tsunade didn't want to back down. Today she wanted to end everything, once and for all! The traitor must be punished, despite her personal feelings. Even if it was Naruto, though scary, she didn't intend to remain silent any longer. By the time I got here, I had already decided everything, and therefore ...

"Where's Hinata?" she asked in a rough tone, looking around the kitchen.

Shizune quietly closed the door, and then slowly followed, smiled at the Master and stood aside. She did not intend to interfere with him, only prepared to act as a last resort. She understood better than anyone how much the Master liked to play with his prey... Unlike any cowards, he had amused himself with a surge of emotions, even with such a dangerous woman as Tsunade Senju.

"Shut your mouth... You have no right to say such things to me!"

- Hm? What does it mean? Naruto swung his legs off the table and slowly stood up, easily towering over the petite beauty.

"Wh-what are you..." Her shoulders trembled under his manly pressure, and as soon as he took a step towards her, panic was reflected in Tsunade's eyes!

- BUT! "It was the first time she acted like that... like a little, frightened girl. If not for the presence of someone, she would definitely have rushed to run! Turning sharply towards Shizune, Tsunade saw her confident look, and then received a determined nod that put her thoughts on alert. Then she lowered her head and gathered her strength:

"Y-you... You..." Trying to control herself, the girl growled, and she herself took a step towards her fear. Stopping literally in front of his tall silhouette, Tsunade felt like she was trying to fight against a huge rock. Plus, he was grinning so hard...

"Bastard!"

She wanted to hit him hard, but... After what happened, and because of his vicious aura, for some reason, goosebumps ran down her back.

But, she no longer lowered her head! A determined look turned to this self-satisfied insolent fellow!

"You dirty bastard!" Do you think I'm afraid of you?! You forced me! I could calmly leave and not get involved in your affairs, I was even ready to forget about your vile harassment! I wouldn't even remember how your dirty hands pawed my body, but... But... You yourself are to blame for everything! Even now, you look like you're victorious here. I swear, by the evening, this filthy grin will leave your haughty face!

Tsunade's cheeks burned, chest heaving again and again in an exciting rhythm. She blurted out all this in one breath and barely realized what was said herself. But at the same time, after such a decisive act, she was filled with even more confidence.

- Ha-ah...

Feeling superior, Tsunade relaxed and chuckled proudly.

"I won't run away again. Today you will answer for everything!

"I will answer then? Already in the evening? Funny..." Naruto chuckled. The feigned courage of this girl visibly amused him.

Meanwhile, behind everyone's back, Shizune was spreading a sly smirk. She wanted to laugh and applaud this gallant speech. Tsunade's voice did not even tremble, she really found the strength in herself ... An act worthy of respect.

It wasn't even about what Naruto had done or what aura he had, it was enough that this mature woman was head over heels in love with him, even after what he had done to her. Those feelings alone should have been enough to make her hamstrings tremble in his presence. But she did it! The experience of pretense showed itself at the right time.

But that didn't convince Naruto at all. Tsunade made a mistake in the main thing - she started with ridiculous threats. Perhaps she instinctively demonstrated her strong position to Shizuna, trying to inspire the student and give confidence to herself personally. But Tsunade could not even imagine that she was already surrounded, and no matter how confident she acquired, everything was a foregone conclusion long ago.
