Chapter 86
"Fake! Fake! It must be fake! You left Konoha without permission—no, wait, you betrayed and escaped from Konoha! You're no longer a Konoha ninja, so our bet doesn't count. Fake, fake, it's all fake!" Tsunade turned around and walked toward the shore, muttering to herself. She was blatantly trying to play dirty!
Haruto Saito followed behind her with a cold smirk, moving at a leisurely pace. He had no intention of letting Tsunade get away with this. Her attempt at blatant denial wouldn't work—unless she planned never to return to Konoha for the rest of her life.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru had also returned to the lakeside. Jiraiya saw Tsunade's expression and struggled to hold back his laughter but dared not actually laugh out loud.
"What are you looking at? Not eating breakfast? Do you want me to beat you up?!" Tsunade yelled at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya quickly took a few steps back, formed a hand seal, and disappeared instantly.
Orochimaru also silently walked away to collect firewood from a nearby grove.
Once Orochimaru was gone, Tsunade crossed her arms, turned back to Haruto, and raised her chin. "Alright, just name your price. How much money will it take for you to drop those two conditions?"
"I'm not lacking money." Haruto curled his lips and spread his hands. "Besides, those two requests aren't something that can be measured in money. You might as well give up on that idea!"
"Brat, if you keep this up, you won't live long. What's the point?"
"Oh no, I'm so scared."
A short while later...
