In the courtyard.
Tsunade and Drake stared at each other.
To Tsunade, Drake looked too young.
With just a few words, I should be able to fool this kid and walk away with the money.
On the other hand, Drake studied her for a moment, his gaze eventually resting on her face.
"Are you treating my money as your own now?" Drake asked calmly.
"I was just safekeeping it for you. Since you're back, I'll return it," Tsunade said righteously.
She placed the box on the ground.
"Fourth Hokage, you're too careless with money. If I hadn't found it first, someone else would've stolen it."
"Is that so?"
Drake stroked his chin.
He could see through her instantly.
This so-called legendary Tsunade was completely money-obsessed.
Walking up to her, Drake looked at the box—then at Tsunade.
"You can take it out yourself… or I can take it out for you."
"Huh?" Tsunade froze.
She had hidden it so well—how did he know?
Maybe he was bluffing?
"I don't know what you're talking about," she replied innocently.
"Then don't blame me."
Drake sighed, then suddenly reached out.
His hand went straight into her clothes.
"You—?!"
Tsunade was stunned.
She never imagined this kid would actually dare.
Rustle—
A stack of bills was pulled out.
Drake tossed the bills back into the box, then searched again.
A moment later, every last hidden bill was recovered.
Tsunade trembled with anger.
Who in the ninja world dared treat her like this?
"Brat! I'm going to kill you!"
Her fist shot forward.
Smack.
Drake caught her fist effortlessly.
"Don't tell me you think I wouldn't hit a woman."
"You groped me and now you want to hit me?!" Tsunade snapped.
"No, no… you attacked the Hokage. I won't stop at hitting."
His left hand shot forward.
Pfft!
Blood splashed.
Drake's hand pierced her chest.
"If you attack me, you die."
He withdrew his hand, now holding a bloody heart.
Tsunade staggered back, disbelief written across her face.
He… pulled out her heart?
Blood poured from her mouth.
She tried to raise her hands to activate her healing seal.
But without blood flow, she had no strength.
She collapsed.
Drake walked closer.
"Honestly… other than your chest, nothing about you really interests me."
He crouched and tapped her face.
"This is the first—and last—warning."
Green energy surged from his palm.
Under the power of Yang Release, her heart regrew instantly.
Tsunade gasped, her face pale with fear.
This guy… is terrifying.
All she did was steal money—
And he literally ripped out her heart.
He stood up, then held her chest lightly.
"I'll help you stand."
Tsunade: "???"
She swore she had never met someone so shameless.
Cold, ruthless… and shamelessly perverted.
She hated it—but didn't dare resist.
Drake lay back on his chair.
"Clean up the blood. Then give me a shoulder massage."
"You—!"
Tsunade's temper surged—then died instantly when she glanced at the discarded heart.
"I shouldn't have come back…"
Blaming Rin Nohara in her mind, she began cleaning.
Soon after, she noticed Drake seemed to have fallen asleep.
She picked up the money box.
Now's my chance.
Just as she turned to leave—
Drake opened his eyes.
"I was just taking the box back inside!" Tsunade quickly explained.
"Oh? Really?"
"Really."
She put the box back inside and returned empty-handed.
Soon after, she was kneeling beside him, massaging his shoulders.
After a while—
She realized she had somehow ended up in his arms.
And she dared not move.
Ten minutes later, Drake stood up and stretched.
"Let's go to the Happy Bathhouse."
"Huh?!"
