Chapter 30 : This is the last time I will spar with you

...

*Boom!*

Watanabe was like a meteorite, creating a hole several feet in size on the ground, and dust and fog filled the sky.

Tsunade was breathing heavily, her beautiful eyes staring at the place where Watanabe fell without blinking, and she was extremely nervous.

Her attack just now could flatten an entire street. Could Watanabe survive it unscathed?

"Tsunade, you're so violent today."

Soon, a reassuring voice was heard from the smoke and dust. Watanabe shook off the dust on his body and walked out with a wry smile.

Tsunade's expression relaxed and she pouted: "It's not that I'm violent, it's that you're too weak and can only be my punching bag."

Although she said that, she actually recognized Watanabe's ability to withstand a beating. He could even withstand her high-intensity attack just now. 

'Looking around Konoha, I'm afraid no one can match him in defense. Even if he goes to the battlefield in the future, he will have a certain ability to protect himself.' Tsunade thought.

"You're Tsunade after all, it's normal that I can't beat her."

Watanabe smiled bitterly, admitted defeat calmly, and flattered Tsunade at the same time.

Tsunade raised her chin proudly upon hearing this and walked towards a stone nearby.

Watanabe understood that she was tired and needed to rest, so he picked up the milk tea and followed her attentively.

"Are you thirsty? Drink."

Tsunade took the milk tea without hesitation, drank two sips and then instructed Watanabe:

"My legs are sore, massage them for me."

"Okay."

Watanabe readily agreed. It was natural for him to provide some service to Tsunade since Tsunade was sparring with him. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Then he also sat down. He picked up Tsunade's legs and placed them on his thighs, starting from her calves and slowly pressing upwards.

Tsunade has beautiful legs, and she is wearing leather pants today, which makes her thighs look round and tight, and they feel fleshy when pressed.

Looking at Watanabe massaging her thigh, Tsunade blushed slightly, handed the milk tea to him, turned her head and said, "You should be thirsty too, I'll give you a couple of sips."

Watanabe was stunned. 

"No, I'm not thirsty." Watanabe waved his hand to refuse.

Tsunade frowned: "Drink if I tell you to, don't talk nonsense."

"All right..."

Watanabe could not refuse and could only lower his head, hold the straw and take a big gulp.

When Watanabe thought about the straw that Tsunade had just bitten, he had a very strange feeling. 

'Was it abnormal for friends to be so close to each other?'

"This is the last time I will spar with you."

Tsunade suddenly said.

"Ahem!"

Watanabe was suddenly choked, and the milk tea in his mouth sprayed onto Tsunade's thigh. He quickly reached out to wipe it off.

"Clumsy." Tsunade scolded him and continued to drink the remaining half cup of milk tea.

"Tsunade, do you want to graduate early?" Watanabe asked.

"Yeah." Tsunade admitted.

"My grandmother originally planned to let me stay in school until I graduate normally, but now the situation in the ninja world has become very tense. No one knows when the Second Ninja World War will come. As the face of the Senju clan, I can't waste time in school anymore."

Watanabe nodded.

It is understandable that while Tsunade enjoys the honor, she also bears extraordinary pressure. She must be better than any of her peers.

"Where will you go after graduation?"

After graduation, normal students are assigned to a team led by a senior ninja to perform missions and hone their qualifications. Watanabe feels that Tsunade should have special treatment, and he would not be surprised even if she directly entered the upper echelons of Konoha.

Tsunade thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "The Third Hokage wants to take me in as his disciple, and my grandmother also wants me to be Fourth Hokage. I have already agreed to it. The Third Hokage talked to me last night and said that he would give me closed-door special training. Apart from training with him, I cannot go anywhere else."

Watanabe's heart sank.

If that's the case, then this sparring match between him and Tsunade would truly be the last one.

All good things must come to an end. Tsunade's future is much brighter than his, and her possibility of becoming the Fourth Hokage is higher than anyone else.

"How long will the closed training last?"

Watanabe continued to ask, unconsciously increasing the strength of the massage, his ten fingers sinking deeply into Tsunade's thigh flesh.

Tsunade looked at him while holding her milk tea, and realized that Watanabe couldn't bear to leave her.

In fact, she was reluctant to leave Watanabe, but as she said just now, she was the face of the Senju clan, and it was her duty to carry the glory of her ancestors, and there were many things she had to do.

"I don't know." Tsunade shook her head, "Maybe one year, maybe two years, or maybe special training until the Ninja World War happens."

"I see…"

Watanabe took a deep breath and said, "I wish you all the best. If you run into any trouble in the future, you can ask me for help. I can help you through any difficulties."

After this farewell, they may not see each other again for many years. Watanabe only hopes that when he and Tsunade meet again, they will not be strangers, and they can still have the relationship like they do now, drinking a cup of milk tea together.

After all, Tsunade was his only friend in Konoha.

Tsunade bit her lower lip; Watanabe's words made her nose feel a little sour.

"Now that I've talked about myself, it's time to talk about you." She suddenly changed the subject.

"What did you want to say about me?" Watanabe was curious.

"What else?"

Tsunade put down her milk tea, and her pretty face slowly moved towards Watanabe, staring at him seriously and warning him: 

"After I go to special training, you are not allowed to contact other girls. If I find out that you are close to any girl, I will never forgive you!"

Watanabe was stunned.

Why does this sound so strange?

It's only appropriate for lovers to say this, right?

"Tsunade, what do you mean?" Watanabe probed.

Tsunade told him directly: "You were the one who pursued me first, and I have already promised you, you must wait for me to come back obediently."

"....."

When these words were spoken, it was like thunder coming out of the Sky, which really stunned Watanabe.

I chased you first?

When did I chase you?

When did you promise me?

"I will wait for you to come back?" Watanabe suspected that he was hallucinating and repeated Tsunade's words.

Seeing his hesitation, Tsunade angrily hit him on the head.

[Attacked: HP +21, Defense +11, Pain -13...]

"You're touching me like this, don't you want to wait?"

She pointed at Watanabe's ten fingers that were deeply embedded in the flesh of her thighs and questioned angrily.

If Watanabe dares to say "no", she will definitely fight with him today. She will beat the shit out of him before he dies!

Watanabe wanted to say that you asked me to give you a massage, but only a fool would say that at this time.

"Wait, of course I will wait!"

Watanabe immediately expressed himself.

At the same time, he had a sense of unreality. He had thought about pursuing Tsunade before, but he never dared to think about it too deeply, for fear that he would make things worse and end up not even being able to be friends with Tsunade.

But now he has managed to catch up with Tsunade without any clue, and he himself is confused about how he got this girlfriend.

"That's more like it."

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
