The entire house was pitch black, with no lights on. Tatsumi reached the door, ready to push it open and enter his room.
"Hmm? Someone's there!"
Tatsumi immediately stopped and crouched down swiftly.
He then took out a kunai from his ninja pouch on his waist. The black kunai shimmered.
Hmph! It must be that bastard Tsunade. Tomorrow is the last day, and this week of training will be over.
Yet Tsunade is sneaking into my room now. Is she here to ambush me again?
As for whether it could be Nawaki in the room, it was impossible.
The other day, Jiraiya came to find Nawaki, and they secretly discussed investigating short-skirted young ladies. Tsunade, who had transformed into a small blade of grass, overheard them.
So recently, Nawaki had been making excuses to go to Jiraiya's place to train and avoid Tsunade.
Tatsumi narrowed his eyes and quickly formed a hand seal.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu."
The Shadow Clone Jutsu was a B-rank ninjutsu. He had learned it from Tsunade.
Shadow clones could create bodies identical to the user, and chakra was evenly distributed to each clone. Compared to the illusory clones created by ordinary clone techniques, the Shadow Clone Jutsu was flawless—it created a physical body.
For Tatsumi, controlling his chakra to divide it evenly was simple, so he had learned the jutsu on his first try.
Tatsumi and his shadow clone looked at each other, then nodded.
The shadow clone twisted the doorknob, deliberately making noise while doing so. Under the cover of the sound, Tatsumi's main body simultaneously and quietly pushed open the window, then flipped over and jumped in silently.
Strange… Tsunade on the bed didn't react. She didn't attack the shadow clone that was providing cover.
"Hmm? Still pretending to be asleep? Pulling the same trick again. First, deliberately showing flaws, then luring me in? No way."
Tatsumi revealed a knowing expression.
He directly took out several mini explosive tags from his ninja pouch. These mini explosive tags were found on Nawaki.
Nawaki, who makes these explosive tags, is simply an animal.
These explosive tags retained the sound of normal explosive tags, but their power was greatly reduced. When they exploded, they were only as strong as firecrackers.
The first time Tsunade had used this kind of explosive tag and thrown it on Tatsumi's bed, his hair had stood on end, and he had felt like he was going to die. Then, in front of Tsunade, he had been so scared that he leaked a mysterious liquid on the bed.
What a disgrace! I'll never be able to hold my head up again.
So, no wonder Nawaki was eventually killed by explosive tags. Is this karmic retribution?
These mini explosive tags are returned to you, Tsunade, whether you are really asleep or pretending to be!
The mini explosive tags were instantly thrown out by Tatsumi.
The explosive tags made a hissing sound on the bed. The person on the bed seemed to be awakened by the sound.
That person woke up groggily and suddenly discovered a spark in the darkness.
"Ex...explosive tag?! Help...help me."
The person's tone and movements gave Tatsumi an extremely uneasy and panicked feeling.
This acting is amazing.
Even the voice—Tsunade deliberately changed it to the voice of a six or seven-year-old child. She's wasting her acting skills by being a ninja.
Go make movies! That's definitely an actress, no doubt about it. If she doesn't win an award, I'll eat a kunai live.
"Boom."
A loud noise came. Then, the explosive tags sparked and exploded gently on the bed.
Tsunade on the bed seemed stunned.
What's going on? With Tsunade's skills, how could she not dodge it? This acting is a bit exaggerated.
"Teacher?" Tatsumi asked cautiously.
Could it be that I scared one of the Sannin, Tsunade?
Seeing that Tsunade on the bed didn't react, Tatsumi quickly turned on the light.
After turning on the light, he saw that it wasn't Tsunade on the bed.
It was a little girl only five or six years old.
She had red hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a pink, cute pajama.
But her eyes were a little dull.
She seemed to be… stu…pid…
Tatsumi already knew who the other party was—Uzumaki Kushina.
Damn it, what a pitfalls situation. Why is this pit-filling brat sleeping in my room?
Kushina, as an important strategic resource, has now been made stupid by me. What to do!
"Should I defect immediately?!" At this time, the devil came out to tempt Tatsumi.
"Don't, your friends are all in Konoha," the angel also popped out to advise.
"Don't be stupid, you've now made Konoha's important strategic resource stupid. Konoha won't let you go," the devil refused to be outdone.
"You're the one who's stupid. Kushina is protected by Anbu in secret. Where do you want to run?"
"Who cares where she goes? It's still time to leave quickly. Whether it's going to the Land of Wind to eat sand or the Land of Earth to eat dirt, anywhere is fine. Leave tonight, let's go all out!" The devil continued to persuade.
"You have a point, you have a point," the angel nodded.
Hey, hey, angel, you're too easily persuaded.
In that case, it's decided. Tatsumi immediately crouched down, preparing to leave.
"--I want to duel with you--"
Kushina Uzumaki, who had come back to her senses, looked like she wanted to eat Tatsumi.
Damn it.
At this time, Kushina had entered Super Saiyan mode, and her hair was standing up. The overflowing killing intent could even make the skin feel prickly.
"I'm going to kill you! Let me break your hands and feet! One by one, neatly!"
Uzumaki Kushina made such a majestic declaration.
Ah ah… so scary~
Looking at Kushina, who had completely gone berserk, Tatsumi couldn't help but hug his head.
Kushina took out a kunai from under her pillow.
"Hmm???"
Why is the kunai placed under the pillow? How insecure is that?
Tatsumi was about to escape when he suddenly looked up and saw Kushina trembling.
"...I hate ninjas, your... whether it's Konoha or others... I just want to go home..."
Kushina's voice suddenly became intermittent.
Eh?
Just when Tatsumi felt strange, a drop of transparent liquid suddenly slid down her snow-white face.
What?!
"Hey, what's wrong with you!?"
"I'm... I'm sorry."
Tatsumi apologized hurriedly.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
The kunai suddenly fell on the quilt. Her tears fell from her big eyes in a rustling sound.
Kushina covered her eyes with both hands, desperately suppressing her voice. Her shoulders trembled, and she sobbed non-stop.
Tatsumi looked at the somewhat helpless girl in front of him and fell silent.
A sad emotion filled the air...
