"...?"
As Kyo's words fell,
Tsunade opposite him was momentarily stunned, frozen.
Huh?
Charging in with those...?
What does that mean? I just bumped into...
However,
Before she could think further,
A black-haired girl behind her immediately ran over, supporting Tsunade, and said worriedly:
"Tsunade-sama, are you alright?"
She had just seen the drunken Tsunade get knocked back and subconsciously spoke out.
And as these words fell,
Tsunade looked at the girl and gently shook her head:
"...I'm fine, Shizune."
This girl,
Was naturally her disciple, the niece of Kato Dan, Kato Shizune.
And at this moment,
Supporting Tsunade, her gaze couldn't help but look at Kyo ahead, revealing a hint of surprise and doubt.
Like Tsunade, she was also utterly confused by this person's sudden appearance.
When... did this person arrive?
Clearly,
She hadn't sensed any presence before...
And moreover,
After the collision, not only did Tsunade-sama step back, he... didn't even move?
Although there was an element of drunkenness,
Tsunade-sama had never stumbled like this before...
Realizing this,
Shizune naturally sensed something was off, and she frowned imperceptibly.
Her heart was filled with surprise.
And at this moment,
Even she realized it,
Tsunade of course couldn't have missed it either.
The drunkenness still showed on her face, but she slightly raised her eyes, looking at Kyo ahead, and said:
"Hey,"
"Little guy... who are you?"
"Clearly looking slender, yet so sturdy?"
"..."
The "sturdy" she referred to naturally meant in terms of strength.
However,
Hearing this, Kyo just raised an eyebrow slightly.
He didn't expect,
Tsunade's first words would be asking this.
But,
He certainly wouldn't reveal his identity,
After all, the reason he came here was completely just to complete the side missions in the system.
[Side Mission --]
[Witness one of the Sannin of Konoha, Tsunade's, Chakra Enhanced Strength attack (0/1), incomplete, reward unknown.]
[Engage in a pure strength duel with Tsunade (0/1), incomplete, reward unknown.]
[Lose to Tsunade in a regular gambling match (0/1), incomplete, reward unknown.]
"..."
Seeing these three series missions,
Kyo almost laughed out loud at the time.
The first side mission naturally needed no explanation,
It belonged to the very common "witness" type mission, like witnessing the Mangekyo, witnessing Kamui, witnessing the Eight Inner Gates, etc.
As long as he experienced it firsthand once, it was completed, very simple.
And the second side mission --
A pure strength duel with Tsunade.
To be honest,
When he first saw this,
Kyo quickly recalled the famous scene in the original work.
That was,
The arm-wrestling match between the Fourth Raikage, A, and Tsunade.
At that time, A used some tricks to instantly surpass Tsunade in speed, causing her to completely fail to react and lose the match.
To complete it, it seemed he could reference it a bit.
And what really amused him,
Was the third side mission.
In a regular gambling match, lose to Tsunade...
What the hell...?
Go lose to a woman with a built-in losing aura???
Is this something a normal person could come up with?
You have to understand,
In the original work, Tsunade only won a bet once.
That was the bet with Jiraiya.
At that time, Tsunade bet that Jiraiya wouldn't be able to return from Amegakure.
As a result,
She won, and Jiraiya died...
"..."
In short,
These three missions were all very weird types.
To complete them, naturally couldn't be approached with conventional thinking.
That is to say,
Next, it seemed inevitable to perform a bit.
Thinking this,
He began to fabricate reasons.
Looking at Tsunade ahead,
Kyo slightly raised an eyebrow and chuckled:
"Ah, don't misunderstand, I'm just a passerby."
"However,"
"I happened to hear that in the casinos around here, there's a woman everyone calls the Legendary Sucker, a crazy woman who loses every bet."
"I specially came to find her for a bet."
"I don't suppose you two know her?"
Kyo looked at Tsunade and Shizune ahead with a very innocent and ignorant expression.
However,
As his words fell,
Shizune beside him suddenly changed expression.
This...
The Legendary Sucker???
A crazy woman who loses every bet???
Isn't that clearly talking about Tsunade-sama?!
Damn!!
This guy actually dares to say such rude things right in front of Tsunade-sama!?
Thinking this,
Shizune immediately gritted her teeth, stepped forward, her gaze sharp, preparing to directly curse.
However, before she could speak,
Suddenly,
Tsunade reached out a hand and stopped her, then,
She raised her eyes to look at Kyo opposite, squinting, suppressing her anger, and slowly said:
"That crazy woman who loses every bet you mentioned..."
"Would that be referring to me...?"
"..."
Although she had already guessed that the descriptions just now were about her,
She still couldn't help but want to confirm with the young man before her.
And hearing this,
Kyo raised his hand to his chin, pretending to think:
"Hmm..."
"The woman they were talking about,"
"Seems to often wear a gray kimono, draped in a green robe, and likes to tie her hair in a loose ponytail,"
"Seems to have come from Konoha..."
"And moreover, it's said she has a pair of ridiculously large chest muscles..."
"Sto-stop it!!!"
Before Kyo could finish, Shizune beside him finally couldn't help it, gritting her teeth and suddenly interrupting Kyo!
Then, her face slightly flushed, she said angrily:
"Do-don't describe Tsunade-sama so frivolously!!!"
Shizune was furious inside.
What the hell is wrong with this guy?!
Such a detailed description, anyone could tell it was Tsunade-sama, right?!
Gray kimono, loose ponytail, and beautiful figure...
Isn't that obvious enough?!
However, although Tsunade-sama's figure was indeed very good... what the hell was that "ridiculously large chest muscles" he just said?!
That's clearly Tsunade-sama's strongest competitive asset, right!
"..."
And as Shizune's words fell,
Kyo opposite suddenly put on a somewhat surprised expression, looking at Tsunade on this side, and said in surprise:
"Eh?"
"Could it be... this auntie named Tsunade is that crazy woman herself?"
"...?!"
At these words,
In an instant, Shizune opposite changed expression dramatically!!
Almost instantly, her face turned pale, her eyes wide, her eyeballs almost popping out!
What?!
Auntie????!
How dare he address Tsunade-sama like that?!?!
What the hell...
Does he not want to live anymore, hey!!!
Shizune was directly dumbfounded.
And at this moment,
Tsunade opposite him instantly darkened her expression, then clenched her fist, and violent Chakra surged around her!!
As if her anger had taken tangible form!!
She looked at Kyo with full anger, staring at him coldly, gritting her teeth in fury:
"Brat..."
"You'd better watch your... manners when you speak...!"
"--!?"
