"I'm so tired, let me rest for a while." Haru lay on the ground exhausted, not only because he used too much chakra, but also because he was mentally exhausted.
In this battle, if it weren't for Tsunade' s pill, Haru felt that he would most likely die.
Apart from this factor, we also have to consider environmental factors, ability restraint, and the enemy's lack of knowledge of his intelligence.
If any of the above factors were missing, Haru would not be able to defeat this Kirigakure squad.
At the same time, Haru also deeply realized his own shortcomings, and it seemed that he had to continue to practice diligently.
Not knowing whether the enemy would come to provide support, Haru did not dare to stay here any longer.
After a short rest, he immediately stood up and walked to Tsunade's side: "I'll carry you."
"I can go on my own."
Tsunade, who was trying to be brave, had just walked halfway when her body collapsed to the bottom.
"Why...why...I was able to stand up just now. Wait, wait, I can do it."
Despite trying several times, Tsunade was still ill and had no strength.
She was very depressed that she, who was usually strong, was in such a weak state.
And more importantly, for some reason she didn't want Haru to see her being so useless.
Haru shook his head and couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He took a step forward, squatted down, turned his back to her, and bent his arm and passed it through the knee joint between her thigh and calf, lifted her up, and swung her legs outward.
"Hey, wait, I can walk by myself." Tsunade pouted and still tried to be strong with a stubborn tone.
If Haru had not been facing away from Tsunade, he would have been interested to find that her cheeks were unusually red, even to her ears.
"Now is not the time to show off. If the enemy has support here and we are a step slower, we will be dead."
Haru held his thighs tightly with both hands to prevent her from falling.
Although it was snowing, Tsunade felt inexplicably hot and stuffy in her ears. She shook her head and the snow fell from her hair.
"I, I understand."
Haru carried Tsunade on his back and looked into the distance, preparing to find a cave first.
Before leaving, he had to do the last bit of finishing work first.
After confirming the place where the cave might be, Haru ran straight there with Tsunade on his back.
The threat has been lifted, and Tsunade is curious. She has some free time to ask Haru why he's here.
Haru answered while running, telling everything that had happened before.
Suddenly Tsunade asked "But I don't see the pet in your backpack."
Haru was stunned and suddenly realized that the back behind him was gone, and instead there was a "Tsunade".
It seemed that it was accidentally lost during the battle just now.
He was immediately heartbroken and howled loudly.
Tsunade giggled, her eyebrows curved, her face reflected the beauty below, and she felt dizzy: "You are really a money-grubber."
Haru cursed: "What a heartless fellow! I did this all for you."
Tsunade smiled and said, "I will make it up to you."
When Haru heard this, his eyebrows lit up with joy and he stopped making a fuss immediately: "That's more like it."
Tsunade asked, "Haru, let me ask you, why did you come all the way to save me? From what I know about you, shouldn't you consider your own safety first? You should be very clear about the strength of the jonin of the five great nations."
"I don't have many friends. I would be very sad if anything happened to you."
Tsunade was stunned: "Is this the only reason?"
Haru asked back: "What else?"
"Really..."
Tsunade pressed her cheek against Haru's already broad back, and she couldn't help but use a little more strength in the arms that were around his neck.
Girls develop much earlier than boys.
In the past, Tsunade even laughed at Haru for being short.
But since when did this guy almost become taller than her?
Tsunade didn't know, but she knew that it seemed like "something" was coming out from deep inside her heart, turning into a hot throbbing, tingling and numbness, and a sweet smile was on her lips.
"If it were Jiraiya and Orochimaru, would you come too?" Tsunade suddenly asked.
"Of course, they both hold the same status as you said in my mind."
"snort."
"What are you humming?"
Haru, who has been single,does not understand women's hearts, which are like a needle in the sea.
But then again, I was so busy escaping that I didn't pay much attention. It was not until I carried Tsunade on my back that I suddenly found that her body was unexpectedly soft.
She was obviously not plump at all and was as thin as a grasshopper. I thought she was very skinny.
"But then again, Tsunade, you really don't have much flesh there, as I expected."
Tsunade: ???
Haru teased, "Your chest is clearly on my back, but I don't feel any sense of existence. Well, it seems that I can't say that there is no sense of existence. To some extent, being flatalso has a sense of existence, haha..."
Tsunade came back to her senses from a daze and realized what was going on..
Haru was about to say a few more words when he suddenly felt his breathing stagnate. He was grabbed by the throat.
"Go and die."
Tsunade body burst out with amazing energy. She wanted to strangle this bastard to death with her bare hands.
The two people who were playing around had not yet noticed that a pair of eyes were secretly watching them.
Madara behind the scenes smiled slightly. It seemed that there had finally been substantial progress. He didn't even needed to influence Tsunade to fall in love with Haru.
Haru took Tsunade into a cave. He left a shadow clone to look after her while he himself prepared to go out.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Haru finished speaking and left Tsunade with her neck tilted and a confused look on her face.
Not long after, she saw several Haru coming back, and they were bringing a few people with them. If she was not mistaken, these people were ninjas from Kirigakure.
Tsunade was stunned: "Why did you bring them back?"
"Destroy the body and eliminate all traces."
"Destroy the body?"
"Yes."
As he spoke, Haru cut down a large tree nearby and dragged it into the cave, preparing to use it as fuel to burn all the corpses until only bones were left.
These woods are very wet, but they can still be ignited and used as combustibles in front of his fire Style.
In this case, Haru didn't believe that anyone could read their memories from the corpses of these people.
"Is it really necessary to go to this extent?" Tsunade has been influenced by Konoha's benevolent and righteous ideas since she was a child.
She couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when faced with Haru's extreme approach of not even leaving a corpse.
Haru shrugged and explained, "I don't want to be like this. I also know that my actions may seem extreme to you, but I have no choice. After these ninjas die, if the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village find them and check their memories before death, my ability will be exposed, and then I will be in trouble."
"I understand. I'll follow your idea."
Tsunade nodded in understanding, knowing that this was Haru's usual style.
After all, the other party had just saved her, so she didn't want to continue saying things to him.
Haru dug a big pit, first added a layer of firewood on it, then threw the corpse in, and finally added another layer of firewood on top, attacking from both sides.
After doing all this, Haru spit a breath of fire into it and ignited the firewood.
Looking at the blazing fire in front of him, Haru nodded with satisfaction, then took Tsunade away and walked towards the Land of Merchant.
He didn't want to spend the night in this cave.
Tsunade sighed and told him everything about her mission from Konoha to the hereand the sudden attack by the Kirigakure ninja.
She told him everything in detail.
The more Haru listened, the more his brows furrowed. With a little brain, it was easy for him to connect the two things.
