98 Tsunade, I'm Your Fan

"What is this? What is going on? I really don't understand at all. It's just arm wrestling. Why are you so serious..."

Tsunade covered her face with both hands and seemed extremely frustrated.

At this time, she had completely lost the confidence she had at the beginning.

There was nothing more painful than this Being defeated in what she was best at to a Shinobi, whose name she had never heard of before.

"I knew something was off today. I should have left earlier." Tsunade remembered her unusually good luck today.

"Tsunade-sama, can you come back to Konoha with me now?" Nagasawa repeated again.

"Wait here for a while. I will fetch my belongings at the hotel first." Tsunade said after regaining his composure.

However, Tsunade was thinking, 'Konoha? Only fools would go back to that shithole.'

She would ditch Nagasawa later then take Shizune away.

But there was no way Nagasawa couldn't see through Tsunade's thoughts.

He already knew that Tsunade was extremely against going back to Konoha from the moment she kept asking for a rematch earlier, so he was prepared.

"Tsunade-sama, I will get it for you," Nagasawa said.

Tsunade smiled and said, "We can do it ourselves. I don't need to trouble you."

"I grew up listening to your stories and admire you very much. It is my honor to help you." Nagasawa replied with a smile.

"Hehe, then I am really honored," Tsunade smiled forcefully.

Admire her? If he was truly her admirer, he wouldn't break her spirit time and time again and force her to go back to Konoha!

"Most of it is Shizune and my personal belonging. I don't care, but Shizune is too shy." Tsunade used Shizune as an excuse.

"Huh?" Shizune was confused for a moment, but after seeing Tsunade winking at her like crazy, she nodded.

Nagasawa silently took out a piece of black cloth and said, "It's okay. I can cover my eyes. This cloth is special. I won't be able to see anything once I cover my eyes with this cloth."

Tsunade didn't believe it and tried covering her eyes with the black cloth. She then realized that Nagasawa was telling the truth.

She was speechless. Why did Nagasawa even have this thing with him? Was he planning to go to a blindfold party?

At this moment, Tsunade knew that Nagasawa realized she planned to escape, so there was no need to continue this farce, "Give it up, I will not go back to Konoha."

"Did you really mean what you just said, Tsunade-sama? You are the legendary Sannin." Nagasawa tried to guilt-trip Tsunade with her status as a veteran and famous Shinobi.

"Sannin? Can I use it to buy something?" Tsunade looked indifferent.

She had done a lot of shameless things. She borrowed money from many people and never paid them back. Her status as a Sannin didn't mean anything to her at this point.

Nagasawa sighed at how shameless and persistent Tsunade was.

He really did not want to use force to bring Tsunade back if possible.

Because if he did, there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

Monitoring someone as strong as Tsunade would be very taxing.

Besides, Tsunade might just sever her connection with Konoha even if she did decide to help during the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack.

Who would accept being taken back to Konoha and imprisoned for a year like a prisoner?

It would be strange if she didn't lash out on Nagasawa.

Putting aside the interest, Nagasawa himself did not want to fight Tsunade.

After all, he still respected Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama, you only need to come back to Konoha with me for a year. After a year, I will not stop you if you want to leave. And I'll give you 100 million Ryo before you depart."

Nagasawa negotiated for one last time.

"One hundred million a year sounds good, but I refuse. I can lose my sanity at any moment in that village." Tsunade refused.

She would never go back to that depressing place.

"Then I'm sorry, but Konoha really needs you this year." Nagasawa took a deep breath and prepared to bring Tsunade back by force.

"Oh? Do you want to take me back by force? Don't think that you can beat me just because you win in arm wrestling." Tsunade raised her eyebrows and felt that she had been taken lightly.

"You'll see once we fight."

"Shizune, step back. It seems that I need to show my real strength." Tsunade threw her grass-green haori to Shizune and clasped her fists.

"Good luck, Tsunade-sama!" Shizune picked up Tsunade's haori and stepped away.

The spring breeze that blew with the lingering cold winter blew Tsunade's blond hair and the hem of Nagasawa's clothes.

Bang!

The collision Tsunade and Nagasawa's fist caused a loud sound.

Bam! Bam!

The collision of the two strong forces set a gust of wind.

The wild wind blew up the sand on the ground, making Shizune had to squint his eyes to watch the battle between the two.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two disappeared from the spot and flashed around at brekneck speed. When Shizune saw the two of them disappear at the same time, she quickly looked around to find where they were. However, the two of them were too fast, so she could not see them clearly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two of them seemed to turn into two streaks of light. In a short moment, they exchanged blows several times, and the ground was split open due to the aftermath of their exchange.

"You're pretty good." Tsunade took a deep breath and hid her trembling hands behind her back.

Things went beyond her expectations again. Nagasawa was not only strong but also fast.

The fight just now seemed to be a draw, but in fact, she was already at a disadvantage.

And Nagasawa did not even use his sword.

Until now, Tsunade still thought that Nagasawa was a swordsman.

"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"

The chakra under Tsunade's feet burst as she leaped into the air, concentrating all her strength on her heel. She then rapidly swung her heel down towards Nagasawa.

Nagasawa had already felt the pressure even before Tsunade's foot hit him. However, Nagasawa had no intention of dodging, so the pressure was meaningless.

He wanted Tsunade to see the gap between the two of them.

Nagasawa raised his right fist, and a white bubble covered his fist.

He wanted to use Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.

...

Konoha.

Orochimaru, who had been waiting in his base all day, did not see Nagasawa, and all the tests he had thought of were useless.

So he went to Nagasawa's office and got the news that Nagasawa was away on a mission.

Orochimaru: ...

He was stood up?

What mission was so important that Nagasawa stood him up?
