Chapter 57

"What's wrong? You seem to be staring at me."

Haruki looked down at himself. It's not modern clothing, no zippers, so naturally, nothing would be exposed.

"Did I get more handsome?"

"....."

Little Tsunade was taken aback and rolled her eyes at him. "Not handsome, but your skin has definitely gotten thicker."

"No way."

Haruki squatted down, grabbed her small hand, and placed it on his face.

Tsunade looked a bit dazed.

Haruki's performance in the Kazekage's office just now made her feel unfamiliar.

New terms kept coming out of his mouth.

She had previously thought that Haruki was lazy and not diligent enough.

But after this morning, Tsunade no longer had that thought.

What Haruki talked about couldn't be mastered in a short time; it must have required a lot of intense studying.

This meant that even when she didn't see him, he was still working hard, and she had always misunderstood him.

Haruki blinked.

Was Tsunade daydreaming?

The next moment, he licked her lips.

"What are you doing?"

Tsunade snapped out of it, her face blushing slightly. "This is Suna Village, aren't you afraid the Anbu will see us?"

"So what if they do?"

Haruki said indifferently. He wasn't afraid before, let alone now.

He was sure that apart from the tailed beasts, he could do whatever he wanted in Suna Village.

"...Pervert!"

Tsunade flicked his forehead and sneered, "Are you more excited seeing me like this?"

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person!"

Haruki quickly denied it. "I like you, not just your appearance."

"Smooth talker."

Tsunade pouted and pinched his cheeks.

How could I not know your personality?

Saying you don't care about appearance, but weren't you the one who made physical advances?

Heh, men!

"I don't just talk."

Haruki stopped hesitating, picked up Tsunade, and headed for the room. "I'll prove to you that I don't just like your appearance."

"What... What are you doing?" Tsunade's heart trembled.

"I'm proving to you that I love you for you are, not just your appearance."

Haruki closed the door with his foot and set Tsunade down. "Transform."

"....."

Tsunade suddenly felt 'that's it.' She thought he was going to do something. It turned out he just wanted her to change back.

With a puff of smoke, the older version of Tsunade appeared.

"Ow!"

Haruki covered his forehead, bewildered. "Why hit me again?"

"For tricking me."

Tsunade pulled over a wooden chair and sat down, crossing her long legs, showing her white and beautiful calf muscles, though not very obvious, just faint traces.

"Tell me, what was all that about in the Kazekage's office?"

She had an inquisitive look on her face, just missing a whip and candle.

Ahem.

Haruki averted his gaze and said, "What I talked about was what I learned in my hometown."

"Do you think I will believe that?" Tsunade looked at him dissatisfied. Such special knowledge, if it were in the Land of Fire, wouldn't go unnoticed.

"I'm not lying to you." Haruki leaned in closer, "Want to feel my heartbeat? I heard that people who lie have different heartbeats."

"But..." Tsunade saw his expression and somewhat believed him, but it was too shocking.

"My teacher back home taught me. He traveled to many countries, including some that have perished."

Haruki showed a nostalgic look, "I studied with him for twelve years; it was an unforgettable time."

Strictly speaking, he was telling the truth.

In his previous life, school included elementary and middle school.

Before college, he spent twelve years learning.

What he told the Kazekage earlier was just high school geography knowledge.

Tsunade looked at his expression and, knowing him well, he wasn't lying.

She sighed, "Your teacher must be extraordinary."

Haruki smiled, extraordinary? Yeah, that's right.

His teachers from his previous life, in the ninja world, wouldn't they all be extraordinary?

"He was well-versed in astronomy and geography, and could recite history from a thousand years."

"Where is your teacher now?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask. "Can he come to Konoha?"

"He is free-spirited, a wanderer, doesn't like being tied down."

"What a pity." Tsunade sighed, "If he came to Konoha, the sensei would definitely give him a position in the think tank."

"I can do that too, but only for you. The rest, no way."

"Why do I feel you have a lot of complaints about my sensei?" Tsunade looked up at him.

"No." Haruki bent slightly and kissed her forehead, "Because I only care about you."

Tsunade's eyes widened slightly, quickly lowering her head to hide the blush.

But Haruki already saw her red ears.

He gently covered her ears, and after a moment, felt the heat in his palms intensify.

Tsunade pushed him away, stood up immediately, not daring to look at him, and turned her back, "It's too hot!"

She used her hands to fan herself and then covered her face.

"Suna Village, indeed, it is hot."

Haruki didn't expose her, opened the window, letting in a gentle breeze.

"Yeah."

"Want to change into something cooler? Like a swimsuit?"

Haruki couldn't resist teasing her seeing her obedient and quiet demeanor.

But after saying it, he remembered something terrifying.

Suna Village, swimsuit, Chiyo.

Goodness.

He quickly dismissed the image from his mind.

Tsunade heard this and glared at him, "What are you talking about?"

"Your figure in a swimsuit would be stunning!"

"Hmph, someone just said he doesn't care about appearance, right?"

After some teasing, Tsunade's shyness eased, and she resumed her usual banter with Haruki.

"Right." Haruki nodded matter-of-factly, "I don't care about appearance, but I can't help it if the person I like just happens to look this way. Of course, I'd also like her appearance."

"....."

Tsunade immediately fell silent. He could even justify that?

"Tell me, why are you so good at this? How many girls have you deceived?"

Haruki looked at her in shock, "How can you falsely accuse an innocent person? I gave you all my firsts, and now you're denying it?"

"?" Tsunade's face turned black, "Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever want your first... no, what are you talking about?"

Realizing something was wrong, she quickly stopped herself.

"You're so cute."

Haruki couldn't help but laugh.

Tsunade realized she was tricked, glaring at Haruki angrily.

Frustrated, she used her ultimate move.

Haruki gasped in pain.

"Mercy, mercy!"

"Will you do it again?"

"No more."

"Louder!"

"NO MORE!"

Outside the door, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Mikoto were greatly shocked as they passed by.
