Chapter 72 Shameless Person

Damn it, absolutely awful!

Even Shizune, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand Tsunade's arrogant and domineering attitude.

Having been falsely accused, Haruko Hayashi lost her temper and her momentum weakened, but she still persisted, "But... you were clearly just playing me!"

"I'm observing whether you really want to find Tsunade's heart." Tsunade crossed her legs, using nice words to disguise her true intentions.

Well, if Naruto were here, he might believe it, but I still have some intelligence!

Haruko was furious and frustrated, glaring at Tsunade, who showed no remorse and even reached out to pinch her cheek.

How can we tolerate this?!

Haruko squinted at her for a moment, then threw out a very targeted curse before running out of the room: "The net of gambling is inescapable, and no one escapes its grasp!"

"What's the meaning?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and looked at Shizune. When she saw Shizune shaking her head frantically but still unable to stop laughing, she finally understood the deep malice hidden in her words.

Enraged, Tsunade instantly stood up from the sofa, her booming voice shaking the entire hotel, "I won't lose!"

Shizune and Tonton, who were attacked by the sound waves for no reason, covered their ears and waited for Tsunade to hum and sit down before walking up to her.

"Lady Tsunade...aren't you going too far?"

The ton that ran over also barked a few times in agreement, quite satisfied with the all-around care from this beautiful two-legged creature.

"I went too far? How did I go too far!"

Tsunade found it hard to believe that they would speak up for the guy who cursed her gambling luck. She thought they would lower their heads guiltily after she asked them, but Shizune actually counted on her fingers where she had gone too far.

Unable to bear the slander against her any longer, Tsunade coughed guiltily and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, she'll come back."

"I absolutely do not want to go back!"

Haruko walked down the street at night, each step accompanied by a heavy thud, venting her boundless anger.

I was wrong, Kakashi.

I originally thought you were the most shameless person in the world, but I never imagined there were people more shameless than you!

The dampness of the night enveloped the streets, and after walking for a while, Haruko gradually calmed down.

She couldn't help but worry. If they couldn't find Tsunade soon, she didn't know how much longer Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei could hold on...

She had previously agreed with Naruto to split up, but her connection to him was lost. She had also checked all the casinos in the town, but still had no news of Tsunade.

Haruko's mind was in complete chaos that morning, so much so that she didn't even dodge when a drunkard bumped into her head.

"Ouch!" Haruko felt like she had hit a wall; the impact of the impact knocked her to the ground.

Looking up, she realized that the man in front of her was a collection of muscles, his clothes were stretched taut, and he reeked of alcohol, looking very intimidating.

"Huh? I haven't even said I'm in pain yet, and you're already acting like you're in pain!" His drunkenness made his steps unsteady, but his tone remained fierce. "Give me...give me the money!"

"I'll give you money?" Haruko asked, a look of confusion on her face.

"Or I'll give it back to you!"

Haruko Hayama, who had stood up, waved her hand and replied in a gentle tone, "Well, I'm not that shameless."

The drunkard, whose mind wasn't working properly, took her amiable attitude as a sign of weakness, failing to realize he was being subtly insulted, and snorted smugly through his nostrils.

"Good to know, hurry up and pay!"

"I don't have any money on me." Haruko Hayama was not lying; she had left in a hurry, and her bag was with Tsunade.

"Are you kidding me!"

The drunkard roared in fury, then drew his long sword and chased after Haruko Hayama, who had already turned and fled.

While running, Haruko had to think of non-aggressive moves she could use on him, otherwise she was afraid that one ninjutsu would cripple the drunkard.

She finally found something she could use. Haruko stepped onto the stone statue at the shop's entrance, did a backflip in mid-air, and used illusion magic to meet his eyes.

"A trivial skill!"

The drunkard swung his broadsword, bypassing Haruko Hayama who had stopped, and plunged it deep into the wall. Then he became immersed in the feeling of being unable to pull out his own sword.

Haruko's lips twitched. As expected of a drunkard, using illusion magic on him was a waste of his talents.

Clap clap clap!

Hearing applause behind her, Haruko turned around and saw Tsunade and Shizune, who had been watching from a distance for some time.

"Very good, Haruko. I didn't expect you to have such exquisite control over chakra."

As she watched her walk towards her with an admiring look, Haruko's eyes revealed a deep resentment, as if silently accusing her of standing idly by.

Realizing she had removed herself from Haruko's list of accusations, Jingyin quietly reminded Tsunade, "It seems that Tsunade-sama's image in Haruko's heart has hit a new low."

"Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Tsunade righteously stopped her from speaking the truth, glanced at Haruko Hayama who was still ignoring her, and unusually adopted a humble attitude.

"It's already dark, and I was worried about your safety, so I came out to find you."

Every word she uttered was sincere, but Haruko Hayama, who knew her temperament well, didn't believe it at all. She looked at Shizune expressionlessly and said, "Shizune-nee, is she just hungry and can't find anyone to cook for her?"

"That's right, hahahahaha!" Shizune burst into laughter.

Tsunade, feeling utterly exposed, retorted weakly, "It's all Haruko's fault for being such a good cook. You've spoiled my palate."

Haruko sighed deeply, wondering what kind of people she had encountered.

"Never mind, let's go back. I forgot my bag."

"That's more like it!"

Satisfied, Tsunade took her arm, complaining that she was starving, and led her back to the inn.

In fact, Haruko Hayama had also suspected that the woman who enslaved her might be Tsunade, since many things matched up and there was also her attitude towards her searching for Tsunade.

However, Haruko first met her because she heard on the radio that Tsunade had won a big prize, and Jiraiya had said that Tsunade always lost when gambling.

besides……

"Eat slowly, I'm afraid you'll choke."

Watching Tsunade wolf down her food, Haruko Hayama regretted ever guessing that she was Tsunade.

Lady Tsunade would be furious if she knew that she was being slandered like this.

Tsunade herself, wolfing down her food: ?

After finishing her meal, Haruko planned to grab her bag and head back to meet up with Naruto and the others, but Shizune persuaded her to wait until daytime. She didn't want to run into any more street thugs, so she agreed.

"Lady Tsunade, why did you still go to see her?"
