Everyone Knows Tsunade Is Pregnant

Another bet?

Everyone was dumbfounded. This woman really seemed to have gambling engraved into her genes.

But she already owed a hundred million. What was she going to use to bet?

"Heh heh, Princess Tsunade, as far as I know, not only are you penniless, but you've also been blacklisted by the credit systems of the five great shinobi nations. Even the underground banks refuse to lend you money. What are you going to use to bet with Lord Raikage?"

Samui, the beautiful guard beside the Fourth Raikage, said with a cold smile.

"Exactly. If you have money, pay back what you owe our Hidden Cloud Village first."

The man carrying a large sword behind the Raikage stepped forward as well.

"Princess Tsunade, haven't you caused enough trouble? Step down!"

The Third Hokage's tone brimmed with anger. This disciple of his truly never stopped worrying him.

"Who asked you to meddle?"

Tsunade curled her lip, then shouted toward the doorway, "Come in!"

Knock, knock, knock.

A handsome young man walked in timidly.

Xiao Yun!

"Heh heh, Raikage, I heard your village has produced a super genius. Well, our village has produced one too. Interested in placing a bet and having them compete to see whose genius is stronger?"

Tsunade walked over to Xiao Yun and placed her right hand on his shoulder.

"Absurd!"

The Third Hokage shot to his feet, his usually impassive old face instantly filled with rage.

"Look at the fine disciple you raised. Today she dares to use Konoha's Holy Son as a wager. Tomorrow, she'll dare to put all of Konoha on the gambling table."

At that moment, Danzo entered with three masked Anbu and immediately began mocking the Third Hokage.

"Princess Tsunade, you've crossed the line!"

Konoha's crouching dragon and young phoenix—Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu—also arrived, followed by members of the Hyuga Clan.

"Sister Tsunade, you're being far too reckless. Just because of the gambling debt you owe, you're actually making the Holy Son fight for you? What were you thinking?"

Hyuga Yumi was so angry her eyes rolled back. As far as she knew, Hidden Cloud Village's super genius was named Samueru. He possessed extraordinary Lightning Release talent, and despite his young age, he could take on two Chunin above his rank in a one-on-one fight.

Moreover, he was exceptionally brutal and bloodthirsty. He never stopped in a fight until he had killed his opponent.

Sending Xiao Yun to fight him was no different from pushing Xiao Yun into a fire pit.

"You little girl from the Hyuga Clan, why are you getting so worked up? What the hell does Xiao Yun have to do with your Hyuga Clan?"

Princess Tsunade shot back.

"There's no relationship now, but soon Xiao Yun will become a live-in son-in-law of our Hyuga Clan! Xiao Yun, did Tsunade force you? If she did, blink your eyes. With our Hyuga Clan backing you, no one can do anything to you."

Hyuga Hiashi stared coldly at Tsunade, then shifted his gaze to Xiao Yun. Ten seconds later, Hyuga Hiashi suddenly shouted, "Look! Xiao Yun blinked! Tsunade forced him!"

Pfft.

The tense atmosphere was instantly thrown off course by Hyuga Hiashi.

Everyone present had reputations to maintain, and all of them had received professional training. Normally, they would not break into laughter unless they truly could not hold it in.

"Lord Hyuga, I'm willingly competing for Lady Tsunade. Flowers raised in greenhouses are the most useless. I want to challenge geniuses from all sides. If Lord Raikage is willing to bet, I can even help Tsunade pay off some of her debt. Why not?"

Xiao Yun said softly.

"What an arrogant tone! A silver spear with a wax tip—that's exactly what trash like you are. Boy, do you know how terrifying my younger brother Samueru is? Don't fail to repay the money, then end up losing your life too."

Samui looked disdainfully at the pretty-faced pretty boy. Her younger brother would kill as many delicate little fresh faces like him as came his way.

"Heh heh, Tsunade, it seems you have great confidence in this Xiao Yun. Fine, I can agree. If he defeats Samueru, all your debts will be written off. But what if he loses?"

the Raikage said.

"If he loses, I'll marry your younger brother. I won't go back on my word!"

Tsunade puffed out her chest and spoke with absolute confidence.

"I object. Konoha's Holy Son has not trained for long enough. This is not the right time for him to fight."

Danzo was the first to jump out in opposition. As the head of Konoha's intelligence department, he naturally knew exactly what kind of person Samueru was.

"I object too."

Hyuga Hiashi followed suit.

"Same here."

"Same here."

Konoha's crouching dragon and young phoenix voiced their opinions one after the other.

Only the Third Hokage remained silent.

"Hiruzen, say something already! Xiao Yun's talent is unparalleled. If anything happens to him, how will you face Konoha's ancestors in the future?"

Danzo looked at the Third Hokage in dissatisfaction.

"Tsunade, you truly went too far this time. Even I can't help you. I object as well!"

The Third Hokage let out a sigh.

"Hmph!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, tugged at Xiao Yun's sleeve, and pointed at her belly while making a series of meaningful expressions, as though hinting at something.

Xiao Yun frowned deeply and looked at Tsunade in disbelief.

I get it!

"Everyone, please hear me out."

Xiao Yun cleared his throat and addressed the crowd.

"The reason I chose to compete against Hidden Cloud Village's genius is, on one hand, to temper my own strength. On the other hand, it's for Tsunade. I can't just stand by and watch her marry someone else."

"Because she's carrying my child!"

Nani × N.

Everyone froze, their eyes widening like brass bells.

"Baka! Who told you to say that?"

Tsunade charged over with a roar and sent Xiao Yun flying with an enraged punch.

"Damn it, wasn't that what you were hinting at?"

Xiao Yun clutched his stomach, grimacing in pain as he looked at Tsunade with a wronged expression.

"Bastard! I was telling you to think about the child in my belly and come up with a way to persuade everyone. Who told you to reveal this?"

"But whatever! That's right, I'm carrying Xiao Yun's child. It's not something shameful anyway, so it's fine if you all know. The child's father is fighting for the child's mother. Everyone, that's perfectly reasonable, right? It's settled, then."

Tsunade looked entirely justified.

Everyone was still unable to recover from their shock. They had never expected Tsunade, who treated men like dirt, to be pregnant—and with Xiao Yun's child.

Xiao Yun was truly impressive. Not only was his talent peerless, he had also gotten Konoha's most beautiful woman pregnant.

A true model for men!

"Wait. Since you're carrying someone else's child, even if my younger brother likes you, he won't want you anymore. He has a virgin complex."

The Fourth Raikage looked at Tsunade disdainfully.

"What do you want?"

Tsunade asked coldly.

"Heh heh, if this brat wins, I can only count it as fifty million. But if he loses, you'll have to marry me."

The Fourth Raikage grinned. A trace of lechery unexpectedly appeared on his stern face.

Everyone was shocked once again. This old bastard actually preferred women who had already been broken in.

Only Samui revealed a mysterious smile. Lord Raikage had always had a taste for married women. He had little interest in untouched goods, but held an almost perverse obsession with experienced women.

"Fine! It's settled!"

After saying that, Tsunade turned to Xiao Yun. "Fight well and do me proud. Otherwise, I'll treat you to my wedding feast."

Xiao Yun gave a bitter smile. This was not how the plot was supposed to go. Wasn't it always the gambling husband who sold off his wife and children at the gambling table, while the wife cried and refused to submit even unto death?

Why had the story become so absurd when it came to him?

"Good! Straightforward! Darui, go to Hidden Cloud Village and bring Samueru here. Konoha's Genin competition begins in ten days anyway, so I'll save myself the trouble of running back and forth."

"Samui, buy me a house in Konoha. Once Samueru defeats Xiao Yun, I'll consummate my marriage with Tsunade. Hahahaha!"

"Gah gah gah gah!"

"Heh heh heh heh!"

"Oh ho ho ho!"

"Yes."

"Yes."
