Chapter 120
Tsunade had a look of absolute confidence, as if she had already won. Compared to her usual bets with unlimited stakes, today's bet was incredibly small. No matter who won or lost, the worst that would happen was a bit of pain. She had considered the possibility of losing, but she wasn't afraid. Even if she did lose, she didn't believe Haruto Saito would actually dare to hit her!
"Cough, cough, cough..." Haruto coughed for a while before finally stopping. Wiping his mouth, he said, "You've been wanting to hit me for a long time, haven't you?"
"Of course!" Tsunade nodded and admitted it outright.
"Sigh..." Haruto sighed. He suddenly felt a little sorry for Tsunade. She always lost bets but kept making them anyway. Turning his head slightly, he asked, "Jiraiya-sama, you heard that, right?"
"Mm." Jiraiya responded with a nasal sound.
"Good!" Haruto then looked at Tsunade. "Since this is a small bet, we don't need to write a formal agreement. But let me repeat: if I can successfully use chakra-infused hypnosis, you lose. If I fail to demonstrate it, I lose. Is that correct?"
"That's right." Tsunade raised her chin slightly. "Come on, start already!"
"Give me the pendant." Haruto gestured with his hand.
Tsunade tossed the pendant to him, but then Haruto asked, "So, how should I demonstrate it? Should I hypnotize you?"
Tsunade didn't answer immediately. She thought for a moment, then looked up. "Jiraiya, come over here."
"Hey! Don't drag me into your bets, okay?" Jiraiya stood in place, unmoving. He was worried that if Tsunade lost, he'd be the one she took her frustration out on. And that would not end well for him!
