Lady Tsunade, blindfolded, walked towards Shindai and Jiraiya, rubbing her fists.
Even a blind man could see that Lady Tsunade was going to brutally beat them both today, and it would be a bloody one.
Shindai really wanted to cry; he was just a puppet maker. Whatever the client needed, he made it according to their demands. What did it have to do with him?
Lady Tsunade stomped her feet, cracking the ground, and threw a punch at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya immediately felt a chill down his spine and quickly dodged.
Lady Tsunade's fist landed on the puppet, instantly turning it into shattered fragments like tofu.
Finally, Lady Tsunade's fist hit the ground.
With a 'boom,' a large crater was smashed into the ground.
Shindai and Jiraiya stared wide-eyed at the pit in the ground.
Shindai gasped, thinking, if he were hit by that punch, it would definitely hurt for a long time, right?
Jiraiya, his scalp tingling, shouted at Lady Tsunade, "Hey, there's no need to use your monstrous strength!"
Jiraiya saw that Lady Tsunade had straightened up and was facing him again. He immediately pleaded, "I-I'm sorry, Tsunade, calm down! Don't be impulsive!"
Lady Tsunade shook her right hand, flicking off the dust, and said with a smile to Jiraiya, "You're not wrong, how could you be wrong? It's my fault. When you spied on the women's hot spring back then, I should have beaten you to death, instead of just breaking six of your ribs. Today! I will correct my past mistake!"
Lady Tsunade charged at Jiraiya again. Jiraiya shivered, realizing that Lady Tsunade was serious this time. He turned, tore through the tent, and tried to escape.
Seeing Lady Tsunade chase Jiraiya, Shindai immediately ran in the opposite direction.
If he didn't run, what awaited him later might be even worse than a beating.
Jiraiya's legs churned incredibly fast.
Lady Tsunade had already leaped into the air, her left leg bent, her right leg straight, and kicked towards Jiraiya in a flying kick posture.
"Die!"
Lady Tsunade's right foot heavily kicked Jiraiya's back.
"Pfft~"
Jiraiya violently spat out a mouthful of blood, then rolled on the ground like a ball.
Jiraiya crashed through several tents and several trees before finally stopping.
Lying on the ground, spitting blood, Jiraiya saw a series of images flash through his mind.
"Is...is this my life flashing before my eyes?"
Jiraiya murmured, his breath ragged, feeling like he was exhaling more than inhaling.
If he were given another chance... if he were given another chance, he would definitely make the puppet Shindai created a one-to-one replica of Tsunade!
Since he was going to get beaten anyway, he might as well be bolder!
Lady Tsunade stood beside Jiraiya. Because her eyes were blindfolded, she couldn't see Jiraiya's blood.
Lady Tsunade's smile never faded as she told Jiraiya, "Don't worry, a Medical Ninja will come to treat you soon. You won't die."
Jiraiya spoke with difficulty, "I...I have something very important to tell you...Tsunade..."
Lady Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, "Then say it now. After you're done, I still want to give you two more punches to the face. Don't worry, I won't use my monstrous strength next time."
Jiraiya laboriously raised his hand: "Th-that way, that kid Shindai... I just saw him run off... Quick, go beat him!"
The vengeful Jiraiya's teeth itched with anger when he remembered Shindai saying he made the puppet out of duress due to Jiraiya's 'lecherous might.'
Although he had slightly sold out Shindai before, Shindai didn't have to say that.
Moreover, it was Shindai who told him to kiss that puppet; he hadn't intended to!
If Shindai hadn't said that, his injuries might have been lighter.
And he had been beaten by Tsunade to the point of seeing his life flash before his eyes, yet Tsunade still wanted to give him two more punches to the face. Jiraiya decisively chose to sell out Shindai again, letting Tsunade go catch Shindai instead.
Lady Tsunade looked in the direction Jiraiya pointed and saw Shindai's short legs churning seemingly even faster than Jiraiya's just now, as he ran forward.
Shindai was terrified now. If Lady Tsunade's kick that hit Jiraiya had landed on him, it wouldn't have been a question of whether it hurt, but whether he would survive.
So he had to find a backer...
But Shindai didn't know anyone in the Konoha Garrison. The only person who could be his backer, Minato Namikaze, wasn't at the Konoha Garrison right now.
That perverted Jiraiya was going to get him killed!
Lady Tsunade was distracted by Jiraiya, and her attention was successfully drawn to the fleeing Shindai.
Meanwhile, the commotion here attracted the attention of many people, including Kakashi and Obito.
Kakashi and Obito, thinking the Konoha Garrison was under enemy attack, rushed out.
Obito didn't bother trying to act cool and urgently shouted, "What happened? Is it the Cloud Ninja trying to sneak attack our garrison!"
Obito saw a small figure approaching from a distance.
Fortunately, it was daytime, so he could see clearly even with sunglasses on.
"Is that... Shindai?"
Obito looked at the frantically running Shindai with some confusion, because Shindai was now covered in snot and tears, looking extremely panicked.
Obito shouted, "Shindai, what's wrong?!"
When Shindai saw Obito, he didn't care about anything else and pleaded with Obito, "Obito, help! Save me!"
Obito's expression immediately turned serious, thinking that the garrison must really be under attack.
Because Obito felt that Shindai was truly very scared and terrified right now.
Obito pulled out a Kunai and asked seriously, "Shindai, where's the enemy!"
Just as Obito and Shindai were getting closer, a figure stood between Obito and Shindai.
Seeing this figure, Shindai's eyes filled with despair, while Obito's were filled with astonishment.
Obito asked in confusion, "Lady Tsunade?"
Lady Tsunade lifted the cloth tied over her eyes slightly, turned to look at Obito, and asked in a very calm tone, "What? Are you going to save this brat?"
Obito instantly got goosebumps all over his body. Although Lady Tsunade's tone was calm, Obito felt that if he said 'yes,' he would be in big trouble.
At the same time, Obito suddenly became super smart and guessed that the garrison was not under attack at all, but that Shindai had provoked Lady Tsunade.
Obito's eyes darted upwards guiltily: "Ah, Lady Tsunade, I don't know anything, I was just passing by."
Shindai originally didn't expect this idiot Obito to save him anyway.
Now, trembling, Shindai's eyes darted around, trying to think of how to get through this desperate situation.
Shindai saw Kakashi not far away and immediately shouted, "Ka—"
However, Shindai hadn't even finished calling out the name before Kakashi had already vanished, disappearing without a trace.
Lady Tsunade turned her head back and sneered, "Call, scream, even if you shout until your throat breaks, no one will save you."
At this moment, Lady Tsunade's very beautiful face appeared extremely terrifying in Shindai's eyes.
