Chapter 0056: Timed Mission
Noon, the next day, in the Land of Rain.
I stood in the reception room, my eyes wandering as I glanced at the gloomy sky outside. Ugh, this place.
Tsunade, as usual, was all serious, staring into the distance. "This environment…" she muttered. "Still can't find anything to like about it."
She wasn't wrong. I couldn't help but agree. "Yeah," I said, twirling my ninja blade lazily in my hand. "Feels like if you stay here too long, you'll end up smelling like mold."
Her gaze turned sharp as she glanced over at me. "That would blend perfectly with your creepy aura."
I flinched slightly, not meeting her eyes. Creepy? Okay, maybe the system had put me in a few awkward spots, but come on! It's not like I wanted to be here messing up all the time. "I'm not creepy…" I mumbled, scratching my head, feeling a little defensive.
Tsunade just gave me that mocking smirk. "A normal person doesn't carry a pacifier in their ninja kit, Hiroto. Or do you still need to wean off breastfeeding?"
I groaned internally. "I already explained! It's not a pacifier, it's a special tool that replenishes chakra!" I ruffled my hair in frustration.
"Oh really?" she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "And who, exactly, makes chakra tools shaped like pacifiers? Wouldn't a soldier pill do the job?"
I don't know! I screamed in my head. That stupid system designed it, not me!
I could only sigh. No matter what I said, Tsunade would always think I was some kind of pervert. Stupid system.
Suddenly, the system's voice popped up in my head:
[New options generated!]
[Host, choose one of the following options:]
[-> Option one: Take Tsunade's virginity within 20 hours.]
[-> Option two: Strip Tsunade's top within 20 minutes.]
[-> Option three: Kiss Tsunade within 20 seconds.]
[Note: Penalty ???]
A timed mission?! My eyes widened in shock. This had to be a joke. And these options…they were all impossible! Tsunade would never let me get away with any of this, especially not with that temper of hers.
Panic bubbled up inside me. If I didn't do it, I'd face punishment, and knowing the system, it would be something brutal—maybe something like public humiliation or a lifetime of wearing women's clothes. Hell no!
But these tasks... How was I supposed to pull this off?!
Option 1? Impossible. I'm just an 8-year-old! Let's not even talk about how unrealistic that is.
Option 2? Maybe… if she were wearing something loose, I could manage to tear it off. But today? She's wearing her standard ninja vest, complete with all those hidden buttons and inner armor. No way I'd get that off without knocking her out cold first.
Option 3? Same deal. There's no way she'd let me get close enough to kiss her. And subduing her in 20 seconds? Ha! Like that would ever happen.
This mission is a guaranteed failure!
I sighed, reluctantly choosing the second option. Might as well try. I cast a glance at her chest, trying to figure out how I could rip off her vest. As I racked my brain for a strategy, the tense atmosphere dragged on.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a female Rain ninja entered the room, bowing respectfully. "Lady Tsunade, our leader is ready to see you now."
Tsunade's brow arched. "Oh? That old man finally accepted my proposal?"
"Yes," the Rain ninja nodded. "But he still wishes to discuss a few finer details with you."
Old man? She was referring to Hanzo, of course. If anyone else had called him that, they'd be met with a kunai to the face. But it's Tsunade. Even the Rain ninja standing before us had no choice but to swallow her offense.
"I see." Tsunade grabbed her bag off the table—a perfect opportunity! I darted forward with lightning speed, reaching for her vest, my hands gripping the fabric at the front, ready to rip it off.
But before I could act, her hand clamped down on my wrist like a vice. She shot me a cold glare. "What do you think you're doing?"
I gave her an awkward laugh, sweating under her intense gaze. "It's hot… I thought I'd help you cool down by taking off your jacket."
Her grip tightened, and I winced in pain as I tried to break free. "Let go already!" I pleaded.
"You've gotten bolder, haven't you?" she growled, her face red with anger. "Let. Go. Now!"
"No way! Please, just this once!" I cried out, desperately trying to justify myself. "I swear it's only this once!"
"Absolutely not, you little pervert!" Her face was flushed now, clearly annoyed.
Of course, she wasn't going to just let me pull something like this. Tsunade's temper flared, and her fist came flying at my chest before I could react.
Boom!
I flew back like a ragdoll, smashing through the wall of the reception room and landing hard on the street outside.
Special Note: Guys, I'll be creating a, very normal and basic, discord server. I'll be posting the link by coming Monday. The purpose of the server will mostly be - to listen to your requests and recommendations. There were many of you, and by many, 9 actually, who wanted some MTLs to have a proper translations. Hence, I've decided with the discord.
