Chapter 502: The Threat

With less than two days left until the mission's end, a faint glimmer of firelight rose again within the cave.

Shizune suddenly opened her eyes, knowing the light of the fire meant she was about to be fed again.

Ah, spit!

She is not a pig; what is feeding?

Thinking of pigs, Shizune couldn't help but worry again, wondering how the pig was doing, whether it was well, and whether Lady Tsunade had eaten the pig...

Ah, spit, spit, spit... Lady Tsunade would never eat the pig. At most, she would sell it for gambling money.

Well, there is little difference.

What Shizune needed to know was that Tsunade never took back the pig...

She left the pig behind when she was following Tsunade because it was inconvenient to carry the pig.

After being captured, Tsunade assumed the pig was with Shizune, so she put the pig out of her mind and returned to Konoha.

So, the poor pig was just forgotten like that.

But the pig had a chance to be brought back by the Konoha ninja, who went to check the situation. Only during the forgotten period did Mr. Pig muster up the courage to search for food because he was hungry.

Instead of finding food, he became the prey for other beasts, chased all around!

After barely escaping being eaten, the pig found himself lost and had to tentatively start on the road to find Konoha, thus missing the people who went to check the situation.

If the pig could speak, perhaps Shizune could write a book called "The Adventures of the Pig" later to record how an 'abandoned' ninja pig struggled to survive near Konoha for a few days, not eating well, not sleeping safely.

The poor pig almost became roasted pork on someone's table.

Stop talking, I've got the picture in my head, slurp, slurp~

Back to the main point, when Shizune opened her eyes and saw the devil holding another bun, ready to stuff it into her mouth while pulling the sock from her mouth, Shizune swore she had never spoken so fast in her life!

"Wait, don't feed me the bun. I have something to say. This is all a misunderstanding. I won't scream, so please let me finish speaking!"

The bun that Aoba held was already close to Shizune's mouth, but she was stunned by Shizune's rapid-fire rap.

Is she the rap god?

Is this Eminem incarnate?

"What did you say?"

Well, Aoba didn't hear what Shizune was babbling about.

Is that the dialect from the west side of Konoha Village?

"Whuu? Why..."

Shizune was bewildered!

Everything was fine just now. How did he suddenly 'make his move'?

"Misunderstanding? You have the nerve to talk about misunderstanding! Did I provoke you or annoy you? You started chasing and hitting me from the get-go, huh?!"

"I ran away because I didn't want to cause trouble, and that's not okay? You have to push to the limit, right?"

"You want to trouble me again? In a little while, I'll tie a rope on you and throw you into the sea to fish for sharks. Just you wait!"

Since no one from the organization was around, Aoba spoke rudely and bluntly.

And, of course, he was angry!

He could have taken his stuff and continued his petit bourgeois life, but somehow he ended up in a fight and, because of the damn system, had to hide here, not eating well, not sleeping well...

Whose fault is this?

Oh, Tsunade's fault, well...

That's not okay either!

Can't catch Tsunade, so take it out on her little maid!

Shizune, who was suddenly scolded, was at a loss for words, even forgetting to chew.

After returning to her senses, she quickly chewed and swallowed the bun in her mouth, and simultaneously, Aoba had another bun ready at her mouth.

As if warning her, think carefully before you speak!

The 'Bun Thunder' in the anti-Japanese drama series is genuinely trustworthy, scared, huh? Humph!

Knowing she was scared, Shizune quickly softened her tone: "Yes, it's all our fault. But since it's a misunderstanding, I think it's better to clear it up..."

"I don't care what you think, and I care what I think!"

"Uh, then what do you think..."

"One million. Do you have it?"

Shizune shook her head. How could she and Lady Tsunade possibly have a million? A million taels of IOUs could be produced in mass quantity at any minute.

So Aoba immediately rolled his eyes, "You don't even have a million, and you still want to clear up a misunderstanding? Eat your bun!"

The next second, Shizune's face was forced to 'swell' again...
