Bab 126: Chapter 126
Hot springs are very common in the ninja world.
Jiraiya is a master of hot springs, having studied them in various countries.
Haruki followed him for a while.
Not voluntarily, but because Jiraiya dragged him along.
But once Haruki became Tsunade's boyfriend, he was mercilessly abandoned.
However, his experience remained. With the allure of money, he rented a hot spring.
Warm steam filled the air.
Tsunade sat by the spring, took off her shoes, revealing her fair feet.
Her face was flushed, possibly due to the hot spring, looking as red as a ripe egg.
Haruki soaked in the spring, watching her dawdle, shaking his head.
"Do you need my help?" He beckoned, smiling. "I'm very good at understanding people's needs."
Tsunade glared at him, hesitated no longer, and quickly entered the hot spring.
But only her head was above water.
She kept a two-meter distance from Haruki, her eyes avoiding him, only staring at the rising steam.
"What are you doing?"
As Haruki made a move, Tsunade, wary, crossed her arms over her chest.
But it was no use.
"I'm going to scrub your back."
Haruki, looking at the water waves, swallowed and moved behind her without waiting for her refusal.
He took out a towel and started scrubbing.
Tsunade's body stiffened.
But her skin quickly turned red.
After ten minutes, Haruki patted her shoulder and said, "Turn around."
"No... no need." Tsunade quickly shook her head.
"How can you do things halfway?" Haruki turned her around and continued scrubbing.
Tsunade's face gradually turned red, all the way to her ears, like the sunset, spreading widely.
Haruki resisted the urge to explode and asked, "Do you know about fish therapy?"
"Fish therapy?" Tsunade instinctively asked, her mind blank.
"Yes, a special beauty treatment. Small fish called 'kissing fish' can live in hot springs, feeding on bacteria and viruses on the skin's surface, relieving fatigue, and treating pain."
"Hmm, sounds interesting."
Tsunade, listening to Haruki, felt her nervousness and shame easing. "I would like to try it sometime."
"You can experience it now." Haruki stopped what he was doing and smiled.
"Now? Where are the fish... Ah." Tsunade's eyes widened, taking a deep breath. "Such a big... fish."
"How about fish spa?" Haruki hugged her, a smile on his lips.
Tsunade's breathing was ragged, she didn't speak immediately, and after a long time, she held Haruki tightly.
"This big guy is too ferocious, only knows how to bully people."
"But I think it seems effective."
Haruki looked at the beads of sweat on her face, forehead, and body, smiling. "Sweating means it's working excellently."
Tsunade gave him a weak glare, then exclaimed, "It's happening again! Once it's over, I'm going to catch it!"
"Then you'll be in luck." Haruki blinked. "I heard this kind of fish can be eaten raw."
Tsunade was stunned at first, then showed a disgusted expression. "I would never eat it!"
"Try it, it's very nutritious." Haruki stroked her tense body.
"Haha, I don't like sashimi, I prefer it cooked."
Tsunade's face showed a dangerous smile, making Haruki's scalp tingle.
But in the next second, her fair cheeks turned deep red, her mouth opened silently.
Haruki raised his chin proudly.
Tsunade's blonde hair was wet with hot spring water and sweat, sticking together in clusters.
"Bastard! I don't believe it!"
She gritted her teeth, her face full of defiance.
"Do you want to bet?"
Haruki suddenly became interested. Tsunade's expression was really amusing. He smiled, "Let's bet on who gets up first tomorrow."
"What's the stake?"
Mentioning gambling, Tsunade naturally couldn't miss it. She could bet on anything and didn't think she would lose.
"One thing. The winner can make the loser do one thing."
"Deal!"
Tsunade took a deep breath, causing the water to ripple. She must defeat this big fish.
Haruki's face changed slightly.
He felt like a lone boat in a storm, layers of giant waves crashing at him, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
...
The next day.
Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi, and Nohara Rin stood in front of Haruki's room.
Their eyes were fixed on a wooden sign hanging on the door.
It had a sentence carved on it:
Your teacher has something to do and went out with your master. In the morning, your new teacher Kakuzu will teach you. Listen well!
"A new teacher?"
Obito was confused.
Where did the new teacher come from?
Could Haruki have invited him in the middle of the night?
At that moment, the room next door opened, and a gloomy-looking Kakuzu appeared in front of the three.
He paused, then noticed the sign's content.
But Kakuzu's first reaction was, an opportunity! His opportunity!
He discreetly observed Haruki's three students.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Finally, Nohara Rin spoke, "Excuse me, are you Teacher Kakuzu?"
Honestly, Kakuzu's appearance was a bit frightening.
"Yes."
Kakuzu nodded indifferently. "Since Haruki entrusted you to me, I will naturally be responsible. Follow me."
He turned and left the inn.
Obito and the others exchanged glances.
This teacher seemed a bit aloof.
Although Haruki was occasionally cunning, he gave off a very sunny vibe, making people smile unconsciously.
But they didn't say anything.
Since Haruki let Kakuzu be their teacher, he naturally wouldn't harm them.
Kakuzu remained calm on the surface, but his heart was racing.
He extended his senses to the maximum but still didn't detect Haruki and Tsunade's presence.
Could they really be busy? Not testing him?
With a nervous heart, he left Near River Town.
"Teacher Kakuzu, where are we going?"
Kakashi, seeing them moving further from the town, couldn't help but ask.
He instinctively felt that this teacher didn't seem like a good person.
"Going to the suburbs for ninjutsu practice."
Kakuzu didn't slow down, responding while continuing.
Half true, half false.
Going to the suburbs was true.
If Haruki didn't show up, he would take these kids and run.
As for why taking them, naturally as hostages.
"Don't worry, Teacher Haruki has the Flying Thunder God technique, he can find us."
Obito showed a smug expression. "Maybe you're missing Teacher Haruki? Oh, Kakashi, you also..."
"Shut up, idiot!"
Kakashi glanced at him coldly.
"Flying Thunder God?!"
Kakuzu, just about to say 'goodbye, cage!', suddenly heard those three words, his body stiffened, and he stopped.
"Yeah, Teacher Haruki knows the Flying Thunder God technique, he can get to us no matter where we are." Obito said nonchalantly.
Damn!
Kakuzu felt terrible.
He raised his dull eyes, looking at the blue sky.
I was really stupid, really. I only knew he could use Wood Style, not that he could also use the Flying Thunder God.
