"Stinking brat, why can't I go?" Byakko's tiger face was filled with dissatisfaction, showing an attitude of "if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't do it."
"It's simple, this time it's not about fighting. I want to experience the feeling of being a manipulator behind the scenes in a battle, silently controlling everything, making them unknowingly fight according to my intentions. It's also a good choice." Ryoha explained.
A hint of crimson light flashed in Ryoha's eyes, and Byakko seemed to understand. She stopped insisting because she already guessed what Ryoha wanted to do. In her heart, she couldn't help but mourn for the Three-tails, thinking, "Who told you to be a Tailed Beast and not a Summoning Beast?"
"That's interesting. But I won't go. I noticed that you made some progress in using the Hiraishin's Third Stage's ability just now. And after resting for a few days, I think it's necessary to quickly complete the ability to create life. Otherwise, you'll create a gap between us that can't be bridged," Tsunade said, standing up abruptly. Ryoha's mastery of the Hiraishin's Third Stage was becoming more and more refined, putting pressure on her.
Therefore, she was eager to complete the ability to create life. She wanted to see if she could complete the Hiraishin's Third Stage in a few days using the insights she gained from Ryoha. If it didn't work out, she would continue her research on creating life. It must be said that with Ryoha as a benign competitor, Tsunade had twice the motivation in everything she did, whether it was emotionally, in terms of strength, or even in matters of men and women. And there were no shortage of talented individuals in this small group, like Anma Bayun, Asahihono, and others, who could catch up from behind at any time.
Not only did they need to make progress in their studies like a boat against the current, but their training was even more troublesome and difficult. They had to overcome obstacles and make great strides forward. Therefore, they couldn't afford to be complacent and stop at a steady pace.
"You're so diligent," Ryoha smiled at Tsunade. This woman truly deserved to be called a queen. If she decided to do something, she would go all out to be the best.
"Of course! Did you think that last sweet kiss was so easy to obtain? If you want it, you'll have to work harder. Otherwise, if you lose to me next time, you'll be in trouble. If you win, there will be a reward, but if you lose, there will definitely be a punishment. Be careful, because if you lose, I'll make you wash my underwear or suck my toes," Tsunade suddenly threw out a statement that made Ryoha blush. When did Tsunade have such an evil side? Perhaps this was what they called queen tendencies. However, at the same time, Ryoha felt a bit delighted, not because of winning or losing, but because Tsunade's words meant that no matter the outcome, they would be together. Tsunade would definitely be his woman, and likewise, Ryoha would surely be her man.
The competition between Ryoha and Tsunade was more like teasing and bantering between a couple, a unique way to increase their marital romance, pleasure, and affection. It could also be said to be an entertaining game for dominance between husband and wife. The same went for Bulma and Ryoha, Asahihono and Ryoha, White and Ryoha, and Hinata and Ryoha. They all had their own ways of increasing their marital romance, playing with new styles, and finding joy.
"That's so wicked, Tsunade," Bulma couldn't help blushing after hearing that. Tsunade really shouldn't say those things in front of so many people. Even though Bulma was mature, intelligent, lively, and daring, she couldn't handle it. The shyest Hinata blushed even more.
"What's so wicked about it? We each get what we need," Tsunade didn't find anything inappropriate about her queen-like behavior. With a noble stride, she returned to her room to continue her research. Obviously, she planned to make sure that next time, Ryoha would have to suck her toes. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair after she had given him her first kiss.
"I think I should leave quickly. It's too dangerous here," Ryoha casually picked up someone nearby and directly used the Hiraishin's Technique to leave. It didn't matter who he took along, the important thing was to temporarily leave for safety reasons.
"Oh? It's surprising. I didn't expect him to take Shizune out this time. But speaking of Shizune, since she came to the Land of Snow, she has never left. It's fortunate that she has a quiet and low-key personality. Otherwise, it would be unbearable."
Bulma rubbed her forehead and, after seeing Ryoha leave, she once again looked at Shizune. Instantly, Shizune, who was eating snacks, shivered all over as if she were being haunted by a demon. She thought about escaping but was stopped by Bulma. With Shizune's strength, breaking free from Bulma's grasp would be effortless. However, the problem was that she didn't dare to do so. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she felt herself being locked onto by several terrifying auras around her.
As long as she made any sudden movements, it wouldn't be only Bulma who caught her. Yūhi Kurenai and the others would also capture her together. So, once caught, Shizune could only silently shed tears and follow Bulma into the laboratory.
"Why do I have such bad luck? I'm being played by this woman to death." Shizune walked into the laboratory with tears streaming down her face, once again facing the three small examinations and five major examinations she had to undergo every day. Of course, with her clear mind, she had already guessed the reason why Bulma was doing this. Besides the jealousy towards Ryoha for bringing her back, Bulma also wanted to observe her character, personality, and mental state through these secret observations.
She was well aware that among the women here, she had the weakest strength. But in terms of influence and weight in this place, she was not inferior to Tsunade. If she wanted to become part of this group and be fully accepted, the first and foremost condition was to pass Bulma's test. And after observing for a few days, Shizune had already discovered that besides Bulma, Ryoha had several other wives. So she did have a chance, but for now, she only felt a slight affection and gratitude towards Ryoha.
At most, she heaved a sigh of relief for some unknown reason after knowing that Ryoha had more than one wife. She couldn't explain clearly what kind of feeling it was. But Shizune could be 100% certain that to be accepted by everyone here, the first and foremost condition was to pass Bulma's test.
Therefore, even if she appeared to be toyed with by Bulma on the surface, she clenched her teeth and endured it. Because after living here for a few days, although Shizune seemed to be played to death by Bulma on the surface, she had completely fallen in love with the warmth of this place. It felt like being in a big family even though they had no blood relationship. Compared to life in Orochimaru's base, which was dark and full of suspicion, Shizune felt that it was like heaven and earth. The difference was too vast to compare.
Thus, having grown accustomed to a life filled with darkness and constant vigilance at the base, Shizune completely fell in love with the life here in just a few days. Especially with Ryoha's presence. She also knew how highly Bulma was regarded in Ryoha's heart. Therefore, no matter what, until Bulma's observation of her was not over, even if she had tears streaming down her face, she could only cooperate with Bulma.
