Chapter 59: Is This the Highest Peak in the Ninja World?
In Tanzaku Street, two figures stopped in front of a casino.
"This is the only one left."
Jiraiya smoothed his messy hair, his expression becoming uncharacteristically serious. "Naruto, listen carefully. The person inside... doesn't have a very good temper, especially when she's losing money."
Naruto looked up at the door, the corners of his mouth twitching upward, completely ignoring Jiraiya's warning.
[Bad temper? Heh, the worse the temper, the more I like it!]
[This kind of violent mature older sister type is the absolute best! Just think about it, a queen who is usually high and mighty and can punch through a wall, if at certain moments... like being bullied until her eyes are teary, or that tsundere contrast moe after being won over... Hiss! This feeling is just too great!]
Jiraiya was taken aback by the strange expression on Naruto's face, feeling that the kid was definitely up to no good.
"Let's go in!"
Before Jiraiya could even reach out, Naruto stepped forward and kicked the door open.
With a 'bang,' the door was kicked wide, and the casino instantly fell silent.
In the smoke-filled hall, dozens of pairs of hostile eyes looked over in unison.
But Naruto's gaze didn't linger on these small fry for a second. His eyes, which seemed to be equipped with a beauty-seeking radar, instantly pierced through the crowd and locked onto the largest gambling table in the center of the hall.
Sitting there was a blonde woman with her back to the door, wearing a grey coat with the grass-green character for "Gamble" printed on the back.
Hearing the commotion at the door, the woman suddenly turned around.
In that instant, Naruto felt as if the flow of time around him had slowed down.
Golden twin tails traced a sharp arc in the air, and her exquisite yet domineering face still held a trace of hostility, while the diamond mark on her forehead shimmered slightly.
But none of that was important.
What mattered was the incredible scale of her chest as she turned around.
Naruto's gaze was as if glued to her, moving straight down and finally fixing on her chest.
*Gulp.*
[Oh... my... goodness...]
In Naruto's mind, a barrage storm of perverted revelry instantly erupted, projected through the heavenly curtain without any blind spots.
[Is this the number one figure in the Ninja World?! This isn't a genjutsu, is it? Is this size for real?!]
Naruto's eyes were fixed, as if he had seen some incredible treasure.
[At this moment, if Newton were alive, he'd be crying as he kicked off his coffin lid! This isn't scientific! Gravity is just a joke in front of her!]
[It's too much! Look at that curve... that's not fat, that's a treasure! Yes, a treasure!]
In the center of the casino, Tsunade, who was originally prepared to fly into a rage and curse, suddenly stiffened.
A burning gaze made her feel as if she were being seen through from head to toe, and at the same time, that voice—which made her so ashamed she wanted to explode on the spot—was buzzing in her head.
[If only I could bury my face in there... even for just a second...]
[If I could just nuzzle in there, feel that sense of pressure, and smell the fragrance of a big sister... it would be worth dying for! To die beneath a peony and remain a romantic soul in the afterlife!]
[A scale like this can only be handled by a broad-minded man like me!]
Buzz—!!!
Tsunade felt her brain couldn't quite keep up. An indescribable heat surged from her tailbone to the crown of her head, and even her ears turned beet red. She had lived for fifty years, and this was the first time she had been fantasized about in her own head by a tiny brat in such a lecherous yet 'devoted' way!
Just then, a cold system prompt sounded in her mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected extremely intense desire and a'spirit of physics exploration.' Uzumaki Naruto has given your figure a deified evaluation.]
[This desire is extremely pure and free of impurities (only lust). Your feminine charm has received the ultimate affirmation.]
[Reward Eruption!]
[Tsunade (Female): Obtained 'Strength of a Hundred Seal: Instant Capacity Expansion +50%'.]
[Obtained Taijutsu Revision: Monster Strength Fist - Air Cannon Version (No contact required; your fist wind can shatter mountains, primarily used for remote punishment of perverts).]
Feeling the sudden surge of Chakra within her, and the terrifying monstrous strength coursing through her arms, Tsunade's expression shifted repeatedly.
Shame? Anger? Or... a damn sense of absurdity from actually feeling a bit of secret pleasure at being praised?
Tsunade took a deep breath, her loose grey robe nearly bursting, and she suddenly raised her right hand.
"Brat! Where are your eyes looking?!"
Boom—!!!
Without any warning, Tsunade didn't even touch the heavy solid wood gambling table in front of her; she simply swung a fist into the air.
The multi-ton solid wood table, along with the dice and chips on it, instantly turned into splinters. A terrifying, semi-transparent Air Cannon crushed the floor, plowing a deep trench into the ground as it charged straight toward Naruto and Jiraiya at the door.
"Holy crap?!"
Jiraiya was startled by this move. Ignoring his image, he grabbed Naruto—who was still dazed and drooling—and performed a clumsy roll to the side.
Boom!
The original door and half the wall vanished, and a huge fan-shaped hole appeared in the street outside.
"La—Lady Tsunade! This is a busy downtown area!"
Nearby, Shizune clutched the little pig Tonton, who was also rolling its eyes in terror, and screamed in a breakdown, her face devoid of color.
Terrifying! This kind of power... was several times more terrifying than before! What was going on? Usually, Lady Tsunade didn't have such a huge temper even when she lost money!
Amidst the ruins.
Jiraiya climbed up covered in dust, looking at his old teammate, who was steaming all over and whose face was frighteningly red, with lingering fear.
"Hey, Tsunade! It's been a long time, but isn't this greeting a bit too enthusiastic?"
Meanwhile, Naruto, who had been tossed to the ground, shook the dust off his head. Instead of being afraid, he seemed... even more excited?
[Whoa...]
Naruto lay on the ground, looking up at the figure standing on the ruins, whose chest was heaving violently with anger.
[Is this Monster Strength? So intense! If this punch hit me... would there be a pleasure of being blasted by the iron fist of love?]
[And because she used too much force, did the collar of those clothes loosen just a little bit... No, this is definitely a fanservice chapter! This trip was totally worth it!]
Tsunade, who had just managed to calm her heart slightly, heard this even more reckless inner voice, and a cross-shaped vein instantly popped on her forehead.
She gritted her teeth, and that newly acquired Air Cannon ability seemed to be stirring in her fist again.
"Jiraiya." Tsunade didn't even look at her old teammate, staring dead at the blonde kid on the ground, her voice sounding like it was squeezed through her teeth. "This brat with a head full of trash... you brought him? Give me an explanation, or neither of you is leaving Tanzaku Street in one piece today!"
Though she was making threats, anyone who wasn't blind could see that besides anger, the face of this member of the Sannin also carried a trace of unhideable fluster.
