Chapter 42 - Fighting Tsunade Part 1

Menma was completely unaware of her thoughts. If he knew, he would have reacted in a weird way.

Just because he was small doesn't mean he won't look at them. After all, both Tsunade and Shizune are beauties in his eyes.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much thought about it.

"Shizune, are you alright? Your face seems kinda red." Menma walked closer to her and stared at her with a bit of surprise.

He was surprised because she was blushing. Although he had a great figure now, he was still a twelve years old kid. Because both of them were students of Tsunade, they started calling each other by their names and their relationship became a lot closer as well.

"What? No, nothing. I feel sleepy. You should take some sleep as well." Shizune said as she escaped his room her face blushing like a tomato.

"She is acting weird. Anyway, I should get some sleep as well even though I don't feel tired." Menma knew that for these past days, he had been sleeping.

Since Shizune had already left his room, he took off the jacket that he was wearing. Because his body had grown quite a lot, it didn't fit him properly.

After that, he went to bed and slept.

Creak!

Slowly, the door of his room opened. Tsunade entered his room slowly and upon seeing him sleeping, she was surprised. But, Menma wasn't asleep.

He only closed his eyes because he wanted to fall asleep. Using his perception, he found that it was his teacher so he didn't bother to open his eyes.

And, Tsunade's eyes fell on his body. Because he wasn't wearing his jacket, he was half-naked. It wasn't like she hadn't seen him half-naked before.

But, this felt different. Her eyes roamed around his masculine body and then reached to his face.

He was good-looking before but now, he had entered the territory of handsome. Seeing that handsome face under the dim light, Tsunade couldn't help but blush.

Her reaction was the same as Shizune's. She quickly left his room and breath out.

'What the hell happened? Although he was changing, the change was too much. Why did he develop so well in just a few days? God! You are his teacher, why are you shamelessly lusting over his body?'

Tsunade felt like slapping herself in the face. It's not that like she would have such a reaction after seeing a handsome man.

But because she had a good relationship with him for a long time, when she saw him as a man instead of a boy, her heart flustered for a moment.

'Calm down, Tsunade. You don't need to be flustered by your own student. Yes, he has grown. Yes, he has become handsome. Yes, he is a good man. But, you have seen all of these qualities in different people.'

'You didn't get flustered by them. So, calm down! Well, I wasn't the only one who was flustered by seeing him. That girl, why didn't she tell me that he was sleeping half-naked.'

Tsunade angrily walked toward her room and when she reached there, she saw Shizune already sleeping in the bed. Suddenly, her anger diminished and she sighed.

'Well, there is nothing to worry about. He has less than four months to stay here and train. After that, he will leave.'

When she thought about him leaving, now her heart was breaking apart. Previously, she only felt bad because he was her student.

Now, after getting flustered by his appearance, she began to feel nervous and sad. She didn't want him to leave but she couldn't force him to stay nor she could go back to Konoha.

'Haa! Anyway, I will just ask him to visit me once a month. With Flying Thunder God Jutsu, it won't be a problem at all.'

Thinking so, she sadly went to bed with Shizune.

Next Morning,

Menma woke up quite late. His body was adjusting to the problem that arose during those ten days.

After he woke up, he brushed his teeth, washed his face, and finally left the Inn to get some breakfast. But before going there, he went to the clothes store and bought himself some clothes.

His preference was normal. Some T-shirts, pants, and some shoes with jackets as well. He returned back to the Inn with some heavy breakfast that he bought from another store and then walked to Tsunade's room.

"Wow! You two are still sleeping." Menma looked at them with surprise. He could understand why Shizune was asleep but Tsunade was a different case.

"Umm…Huh! Who are you?" Tsunade slowly rubbed her eyes as she yawned and stared at Menma. When she saw his face, she didn't believe it was Menma.

Suddenly, the memories of last night came to her mind and the next moment, she was flustered. A red glow appeared on her cheek as she tried to dodge his eyes.

"Teacher, I know I have gotten a lot more handsome but it doesn't mean that you should forget about me." Menma rolled his eyes. Unlike Shizune, he didn't believe Tsunade would blush because of him.

She was over fifty years old. What kind of handsome person hasn't she seen? How could she blush at a twelve-year-old kid?

But, what he didn't know was that because he already had a close relationship with her, when he changed, she was immediately attracted to him.

Hearing his words, Tsunade finally calmed down and walked out of the bed.

"Your change is too much. How could you change like this?"

She couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch his cheek. But, when she touched his skin, she couldn't believe that his skin would be so smooth. Her hand almost slipped away.

'Damn! Not only he got more handsome and manly, but also smooth.'

She couldn't stop herself from touching his cheek a few more times. At this moment, Menma got frustrated as he spoke.

"Teacher, I know that my skin is smooth now but can you stop pinching me so much?"

Hearing his words, Tsunade was startled. She didn't know whether to stop or not. She didn't want to stop but she also had to stop. Suddenly, she felt like she was being shameless and blushed.

She quickly let go of his cheek and looked at the food in his hand.

"Great! Let's have some breakfast!"

She quickly tried to pull the bag from his hand but he quickly dodged her and said.

"Teacher, you haven't even washed your face or brush your teeth."

Menma then turned his head at Shizune and spoke.

"Are you just going to keep fake sleeping or eat breakfast?"

Shizune instantly noticed that she was caught red handed. So, she quickly jumped out of the bed and rushed out of the room.

Tsunade was surprised by her reaction. Then, she thought about Menma and realized that it was Shizune who saw him first handed. So, it shouldn't be a surprise that she got flustered by his look.

Realizing it, she giggled and patted his shoulder.

"Do your best. I will support you."

Saying so, she ran out leaving Menma confused and speechless. He shook his head and put the food on the table. He sat down to eat and few minutes later, they also arrived.

He had brought some dumplings and noddles, as well as some rice and vegetables. After they finished eating all of the food, they finally left the Inn and went toward the forest.

It was the same forest from where he came. So, they decided to go there because Menma wanted to test his abilities.

And, Tsunade was also interested to see his new abilities.

After they reached there, Tsunade curiously asked.

"So, what do you want to test first?"

Menma thought for a moment and said.

"I want to test my physical strength. Teacher, let's fight. I want to see the limit of my physical strength."

Tsunade wasn't surprised by his request. She nodded and walked in the open ground. She took a deep breath and channeled her chakra into her fist.

Menma also followed the same thing. Gathering Chakra into his fist, he activated the Chakra Enhanced Strength. The next moment, both of them smashed their foot against the ground and dashed toward each other.

Menma clenched his fist and threw a punch forward. Tsunade's fist was already approaching him and when their fists collide, the Chakra exploded out of their fists.

Bang!

The ground beneath them was flattened and a small crater appeared beneath them. Their powers cancelled each other's power. So, they withdrew their fist and retreated.

Tsunade was surprised seeing that her fist was blocked she easily. Although she only used thirty percent of her strength, it was still amazing to see that Menma was able to block it.

Menma released fist and his hand was shaking. It wasn't out of fear or injury but out of excitement. That strike although he didn't use his full strength, he able to block Tsunade's punch.

And, knowing her, she would at least use thirty to forty percent of her strength. This made him excited.

Menma looked at her and shouted.

"Teacher, I am going to use my full strength. You should also add more strength to your punch."
