Chapter 44
Haruto Saito had achieved his goal—he wanted to provoke Tsunade into making their bet official, and she had done exactly that, shouting it out loud for everyone to hear. Now, she had no way to back out of it.
"Kid, you're really confident, huh?" Tsunade smiled at him, finding his nonchalant attitude and self-assurance completely incomprehensible.
"I've already won!" Haruto raised his thumb and pointed at himself with absolute certainty.
"This kid is insane!"
"Sigh... Do you think he lost his mind because Tsunade-sama scared him too much?"
"Very possible! Tsunade-sama was about to bury him alive yesterday..."
The buzzing voices of the crowd filled Haruto's ears, but he ignored them. Just a bunch of simple-minded people with no vision!
Haruto was well aware that if he really managed to master the Mystical Palm Technique in a single day, it would definitely cause trouble. Such an abnormal feat would arouse suspicion, and more people would see him as a threat rather than a genius.
But he didn't care.
His current situation was already precarious. Assassins from the Rain Village constantly targeted him, and within the village, the Hyuga Clan bore a deep grudge against him. Could things really get any worse?
