Chishima Chiba was surprised by Tsunade's previous reaction, but he felt very pleased.
Tsunade held his hand and didn't let go until they reached the classroom door.
"What are you laughing at!"
Tsunade was still angry, and quite angry, "Are you proud and enjoying being surrounded by a group of girls?"
"No way!" Chishima Chiba immediately denied, "I just couldn't resist because of my weak arms and legs. Thanks to you, Tsunade, I was able to get out of the dire straits."
He glanced at Chishima Chiba suspiciously, "Really?"
"Of course! All of them combined are not as cute and pretty as you, Tsunade. I'm not stupid."
Her face turned slightly red, and Tsunade believed Chishima Chiba's lies. But she didn't say anything, she just swung her ponytail and walked into the classroom first.
Chishima Chiba smiled and followed Tsunade into the classroom they had not seen for half a year.
The originally noisy environment in the classroom immediately became quiet, and all the half-grown children kept looking at the two of them.
"It's Chishima Chiba and Tsunade, right?"
"Yes, that's them!"
"Where have they been for the past...six months?"
"have no idea..."
The teenagers were whispering to each other, but Tsunade and Chishima Chiba pretended not to hear and found an empty seat to sit down.
The previous seats had already been taken, and the two had no intention of coming back. They were here just for the formality, so it no longer mattered where they sat.
As soon as he sat down, Chishima Chiba saw the light in Tsunade's eyes. It was obvious that she also liked the lively atmosphere with many people.
"Tsunade, do you think we should..."
"No!" Tsunade shook her head and refused, "Teacher Masahiro Takezawa's teaching speed is too slow. I don't want to waste time in a ninja school."
However, Chidao Chiba could clearly see the desire in her eyes and couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he didn't try to persuade her.
After stretching for a while, Chishima Chiba moved closer to Tsunade, "Tsunade, after the exam is over, I will take you to a fun place."
"Where?" Tsunade became interested. She hadn't relaxed for a long time, nor had she had a good time for a long time.
"It's meaningless if you tell it out loud." Chishima Chiba kept it a secret, and Tsunade glared at him and then ignored him.
"Chiba Chiba, Tsunade, where have you been for the past six months?"
At this time, a classmate finally couldn't help it and came over to ask the two of them.
Tsunade didn't know how to answer, so she could only keep a straight face and remain silent, hoping that this would discourage the students who came to ask questions.
The person who came was a male classmate. He was a little scared of Tsunade's attitude, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Chishima Chiba, hoping to get an answer from the other party.
"I've been at home for the past six months. Today is the exam, so I came to take it."
"At home? Your home?"
"It's not my house, it's Tsunade's."
Looking at Tsunade with a stern face and then at Chishima Chiba with a smile on her face, the classmate who came to ask the two of them suddenly felt sour in his heart.
Without saying another word, he returned to his seat dejectedly, feeling as if the sky was falling.
Chishima Chiba's luck is too good, isn't it?!
Soon, the whole class knew that Tsunade and Chishima Chiba became neighbors and were inseparable every day.
They have no opinion about Tsunade, but they have big opinions about Chishima and Chiba!
In an instant, Chishima Chiba became the public enemy of all the half-grown boys in the class, and their sharp gazes fell on Chishima Chiba frequently.
Chishima Chiba didn't say much, just touched his nose, took out a piece of candy from his pocket with a wicked smile, peeled off the candy wrapper in front of everyone, and fed it into Tsunade's mouth.
Tsunade was already used to being fed by Chishima and Chiba, so she didn't think anything of it and just opened her mouth and swallowed it, which made everyone stare in amazement.
Discussions and low-pitched criticisms immediately arose, creating a buzzing sound.
At the same time, Tsunade frowned, and the desire for excitement in her eyes disappeared, replaced by disgust.
"They're too noisy."
"I think so too." Chishima Chiba nodded in agreement and explained, "But the place I'm taking you to is not noisy at all. It's lively."
"real?"
"real!"
"Then tell me, where is it?"
"Okay, let me tell you..."
Chishima Chiba and Tsunade huddled together and whispered, which made the half-grown boys in the class' eyes red. They stared at Chishima Chiba with gritted teeth, wishing they could replace him.
"It's been more than half a year since we last met, but Chishima Chiba is still as annoying as ever!"
"That's right, why is he so arrogant?"
"But Tsunade likes to be with him, what can we do?" Someone said this out of the blue, and the voice criticizing Chishima and Chiba paused for a moment, and then became more intense.
"Why is there no solution?!"
"Let Chishima Chiba embarrass himself and let Tsunade see his true face!"
"He's just a bunch of rotten skin. When we do the actual sparring test later, I'll have to grab his face and beat him up!"
"When the time comes, I will let Chishima and Chiba know how powerful I am, and let Tsunade see how excellent I am!"
"And me."
"Me too."
Yes, yes, yes, you are all right.
Chishima Chiba curled her lips and said, "Let's see the real truth during the actual sparring test, okay?"
But at this time, Tsunade cast a look, "Chiba, why are they targeting you so much?"
"I can't help it. Being too outstanding will easily lead to jealousy." Qiandao Qianye spread his hands, "Only someone as outstanding as you will appreciate me."
"You're just trying to flatter yourself..."
Tsunade grumbled quietly, but she was still a little worried about Chishima Chiba, "You won't really let someone teach you a lesson during the actual combat sparring exam later, will you?"
"Look, how can you talk like that?" Chishima Chiba glanced at Tsunade, "You don't want to hope for me, right?"
"Hehe, no, that's not what I meant..." Tsunade was amused, and it was magical how her laughter fluctuated.
"You're just worried about me, right?" Chishima Chiba patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'm the man who will take care of you for the rest of your life. It's just a practical sparring test, and it will be easy to pass."
"Who asked you to take care of me?" Tsunade rolled her eyes. "Besides, you are not a man yet. Who can predict the future?"
Chiba Chiba received 10,000 critical hits. He opened his mouth to refute, but he had no particularly strong evidence, which made him very annoyed!
"Let's wait and see Tsunade. When I grow up, I will let you see what a man is!"
"Wait until you grow up."
Tsunade was not afraid at all, "Besides, when we grow up, it's not certain who will need whose protection, right, Chiba-chan?"
"You are not allowed to add the word 'little' in front of my name!" Chishima Chiba was very dissatisfied with this. "Grandma can call me that, but you can't."
"Why can't I?"
"Men cannot be called small. This is a matter of principle."
"But you are very small now..."
"Have you seen it?"
"How come I haven't seen it before? Now you are..."
"Then you have to be responsible for me." Chidao Chiba said suddenly.
"What are you talking about?" Tsunade was confused, "I haven't even finished what I said..."
"I don't care. Now that I'm innocent, you have to take responsibility." Chishima Chiba said firmly.
Inhale, exhale...!
Tsunade took a deep breath and rolled her eyes helplessly, "I don't understand what you are saying, okay? Besides, you are very young anyway."
"But you can't say I'm small."
"Why not?"
"Then you'll be responsible for me, no matter how you yell."
"Are you being a rogue again, Chishima Chiba?"
"Alright, let's hurt each other from now on, Tsunade-chan!"
"Chiba-chan!"
"Little Tsunade!"
