Chapter 210: Chapter 210
Tsunade found herself caught off guard by the proposal and couldn't hide her surprise as she processed the unexpected proposition.
Her face shifted from mild astonishment to a stern demeanor.
Her Hokage instincts kicked in, and her initial surprise quickly morphed into a more serious demeanor.
She proceeded cautiously, aware that any agreement must align with the principles of Konoha Village.
With a cautious tone, she inquired about the terms of the bet.
"What's the bet?" she asked Carnes, her tone laced with a hint of suspicion.
Given the delicate nature of matters that might go against the core philosophy of Konoha, Tsunade treaded carefully, fully aware of the potential consequences.
A sense of responsibility for her village lingered in her words, wary of any terms that might compromise their integrity.
Carnes wasted no time in getting straight to the point, undeterred he made his intentions clear.
"If I win, I want you..you...."
The weight of Carnes' words hung in the air, casting a momentary silence over the scene.
As Carnes laid out his conditions, Tsunade's expression shifted from surprise to a flush of embarrassment.
"And Konoha to stay out of the fight between Naruto and Pain."
Tsunade was a little calm after hearing the latter half of Carnes' proposal.
And the Konoha ninjas gathered there displayed a spectrum of perplexed expressions, grappling with the implications of Carnes' proposition.
At first the mere idea of offering the Hokage as wager raised eyebrows, leaving everyone in shock and elicited mutterings among the onlookers.
What did Carnes mean by such a demand? The air thickened with uncertainty and disbelief.
However, relief washed over them as Carnes continued with the second half of his proposal, adding a semblance of normalcy to the situation.
The initial shock began to subside as the assembled individuals processed the entirety of his statement.
Tsunade, although still taken aback, now had a clearer understanding of the terms.
The tension in the air lingered, but at least the bet now had a more comprehensible context.
Kakashi couldn't shake off the lingering sense of disappointment that settled within him.
He too, experienced a whirlwind of emotions.
Carnes' bold statement triggered pervy thoughts in his mind, sending his mind racing with dubious associations.
However, the latter part of Carnes' proposal provided a semblance of normalcy, leaving Kakashi slightly disappointed.
Emotions surged within him, only to be immediately deflated as he observed the scene unfold.
Carnes, seemingly enjoying the stir he had caused, maintained a composed smile.
"What are you doing? Is this really it? Can't you at least put some effort into it when you speak? I thought you had something impactful to say!"
Kakashi muttered under his breath, hoping for a more interesting bet.
"You!"
"Asshole!"
Tsunade shot him a fierce glare, acknowledging the deliberate provocation, yet finding no fault in the overall terms, only because it was Carnes who said it, not some other person.
It left her feeling uneasy, a sentiment she begrudgingly acknowledged.
"And if you lose?"
"Fine, then if you lose, what's the bet? What will I get?"
Tsunade inquired, still giving Carnes a piercing glare, her voice dripping with a mix of skepticism and anticipation.
Carnes, wearing a subtle smile on his lips, slowly rose to his feet.
"I won't lose. Your weak little punches can't defeat me. At best, they might give me a decent massage, which I definitely need."
The audacity in Carnes' statement instantly irked Tsunade.
"Carnes, you're underestimating me too much!"
"You better be able to take three of my punches unscathed, and I surely won't hold back or go easy on you!"
Determination fueled her words as she added.
"And if I lose, I will let you..."
"If I lose, I'll do whatever you ask of me, fulfill any request you have."
Unfazed, Carnes continued Tsunade's words.
"So, let's get this over with. I can't wait for that massage you promised me Tsunade," he added.
"You bastard!"
Tsunade, now thoroughly out of breath, glared at Carnes.
Tsunade seethed, already contemplating the most embarrassing request to impose upon Carnes, the perfect retribution for his arrogance.
She was determined to teach him a lesson he wouldn't soon forget.
Even the Konoha Village ninjas were drawn to the impending showdown, their eyes fixed on the unfolding drama.
A collective anticipation filled the air.
"Are you ready?" Tsunade questioned.
"Of course," Carnes replied nonchalantly.
"But do you need additional time to power up your attack?"
"You know if you want, I can give it to you."
Carnes remarked, his lazy demeanor drawing a twitch from Tsunade.
Tsunade's frustration peaked; her fists clenched as she was about to unleash a powerful blow.
Clenching her fists, she erupted, "Go to hell, you bastard!"
