Chapter 38
Haruto Saito was startled, instinctively leaning back in the bath barrel. Then, realizing something was off, he quickly glanced down at himself before immediately sinking back into the water. Snatching the towel from the chair beside the bath, he hastily covered his chest.
"Brat, what did you do to me?" Tsunade asked coldly, her voice carrying an eerie chill.
"Uh... Could you step out first? Let me put on some clothes..." Haruto swallowed nervously, his voice hesitant and shaky.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and cast a glance at the water beneath him. Then, a smirk of utter disdain crossed her lips as she suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Haruto by the shoulder and hoisting him out of the water. She stared directly into his eyes.
"Brat! Answer me! What did you do to me?!" Tsunade's voice was sharp and commanding.
"Uh... well..." Haruto hesitated, sensing the tension in her grip. He realized that if he said the wrong thing, he might get beaten up. He paused for a moment, then abruptly raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "Look here!"
Snap!
Tsunade's expression didn't even flinch. She remained locked onto Haruto's gaze, a sneer forming at the corner of her lips. "Brat, if you don't want me to break your fingers, I suggest you put that hand down."
Haruto obediently lowered his hand.
As expected, it didn't work!
Hypnotizing someone required very specific conditions. First and foremost, the subject needed to be either relaxed and at ease or in a state of extreme tension. The first condition made it easier for them to enter a trance-like state, while the second made them highly susceptible to auditory cues like snapping fingers. These two conditions significantly increased the likelihood of successful hypnosis.
