After putting away the Black Holy Grail, Natsuki dispelled Unlimited Blade Works.
He, Nawaki, and Tsunade returned to the battlefield.
Fourth Raikage A, Blue B, and the others were dead, and Natsuki had collected their bodies.
Natsuki surveyed his surroundings.
The seven thousand unconscious Kumogakure ninja still had not awakened.
"Nawaki."
After a moment's thought, Natsuki said, "Go to headquarters and have Minato and the others come clean up the battlefield."
Nawaki nodded instinctively.
He was still somewhat dazed.
Natsuki raised his hand and opened a Spatial Gate in front of him.
Nawaki stepped through it and disappeared.
"Lady Tsunade." Natsuki looked at the somewhat distracted Tsunade and asked, "Does our bet still count?"
"Two requests in exchange for a great victory for Konoha? No bet could be more worthwhile."
Tsunade snapped out of her daze and spoke casually.
Though she was laid-back and lazy, she had deep feelings for Konoha.
Naturally, she was delighted by their overwhelming victory over Kumogakure.
In her happiness, she had agreed to Natsuki's bet.
"Can I ask for anything?"
Natsuki cleared his throat lightly as he asked.
"What do you think?"
Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly.
Though she said nothing more, her meaning seemed perfectly clear.
"Then can I hug you and rest for a moment?" Natsuki asked with a straight face. "I used up a lot of Chakra. I can barely stand."
Tsunade froze.
She instinctively gave Natsuki a once-over.
He did not look at all like someone who had just fought a fierce battle.
"Just a hug."
Tsunade hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Anything more, and you'll face the consequences."
"Lady Tsunade, don't you trust my character?"
Natsuki walked up to her.
Tsunade watched him with a stern expression.
Natsuki leaned forward slightly, stretched out his arms, and embraced her.
