Bathroom

Hiruko still had a fondness for beauty and was more attached to this world than Orochimaru.

When it came to people unrelated to him or Orochimaru, that guy displayed the same extreme indifference and coldness.

Though such a personality was well suited to being a ninja, humans ultimately had feelings.

Tsunade ignored Pakura's muffled moans in the bedroom and slowly headed toward the bathroom.

Tsunade had neither the standing nor the means to condemn the mess her teammate had made.

After all, the person in that room was merely a ninja from another hostile village. Letting her live was already the greatest leniency Hiruko could offer her.

Other female ninja captured in the ninja world would certainly fare worse, especially those with bloodline limits. It would not be strange for them to be treated like sows and forced to bear children continuously.

Otherwise, why would Hidden Cloud Village possess so many special bloodlines? They had all been plundered from across the ninja world.

Given Tsunade's status, she naturally knew the fate of those captives. They were either treated as breeding stock, or had all the information in their minds extracted before being thrown into laboratories as experimental subjects.

Tsunade shook her head and stopped thinking about that vile nonsense.

Pushing open the bathroom door, she was met by a wave of heat.

The enormous bathroom was shrouded in mist. The pool had long since been filled, and the nearly one-hundred-square-meter bath continuously gave off steam.

It was clearly something Hiruko had specially prepared for Tsunade.

The hot bath was ready, and Hiruko had spent quite a bit of money building this pool back then so Tsunade would often come over to his house.

Hiruko had also been very fond of the young Tsunade, and had always used this huge pool to tempt her into coming to play with him.

This modern swimming pool was far more fun than the one at Tsunade's home. Not only did it have flowing water with various settings, but after soaking in the hot bath, one could immediately go swimming. The temperature could also be adjusted at will.

Many of the mechanisms and facilities in the bathroom had been personally designed by Hiruko. Every process, from filling the water to heating the surroundings, had been handled exceptionally well.

It was basically a chakra-powered version of a futuristic luxury mansion.

This bathroom was decorated with Hiruko's favorite jade-like stone.

Tsunade then casually tore off her clothes, revealing skin as soft and tender as a baby's.

She gave herself a simple rinse beneath the showerhead, then plunged headfirst into the bath.

It was truly far beyond the proportions of an ordinary human body. It was simply too big!!!

And it thoroughly defied Newton's laws of physics.

If an ordinary person saw it, they would probably be dizzy in no time.

As Tsunade hummed a little tune and washed herself,

Hiruko returned after finishing his workout.

He let out a heavy breath and lightly wiped his forehead.

That morning, he had run several hundred laps around Konoha.

The people of Konoha had long grown accustomed to Hiruko's exercise routine. He had often run laps with Might Duy and Might Guy before, conducting intense training every morning.

Hiruko vigorously wiped the sweat from his forehead. His black clothes were already drenched through, clinging tightly to his body.

He shook his wet hair and turned toward home.

Pushing open the front door, he headed straight for the bathroom.

After training all morning, his entire body felt sticky. All he wanted now was a good shower.

Splash—

The bathroom door slid open, and steam rushed toward him.

"Ah—!!"

A scream nearly pierced his eardrums.

Within the mist, a graceful figure turned around in panic.

Golden hair clung damply to her smooth back, while droplets slid down the beautiful curves of her body.

Hiruko froze.

Tsunade froze as well.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

"You, you pervert!"

Tsunade abruptly crouched down, covering her chest with both hands, but she could not cover it at all! It was too big!

Tsunade's face flushed bright red. "Who told you to come in? You built this bathroom just to wait for this day, didn't you?!"

Hiruko looked at her expressionlessly. "This is my house."

"That doesn't mean you can just barge in!"

Tsunade trembled with anger. "Get out!"

Yet Hiruko acted as though he had not heard her and began taking off his clothes.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Tsunade's eyes widened.

"Bathing."

Hiruko had already removed his shirt, revealing his lean, muscular upper body. "I trained all morning. I'm covered in sweat."

"Y-you've lost your mind!" Tsunade could hardly believe her eyes.

"Can't you see I'm bathing?"

"I can."

Hiruko began undoing his belt. "So?"

"So get out!" Tsunade slammed her fist into the wall, making the entire bathroom tremble.

But Hiruko had already stepped into the bath, warm water washing over his solid muscles.

He closed his eyes as if there were no one beside him at all.

Tsunade shook with fury. She had never met anyone so shameless.

Her golden hair stirred without wind, chakra surging around her.

"You bastard!"

A heavy punch, carrying the sound of tearing air, smashed toward Hiruko's face.

Hiruko did not even open his eyes. He merely tilted his head slightly, and the fist grazed his ear before slamming into the wall, instantly shattering the tiles.

"Not bad strength," he said flatly.

"Go to hell!"

Hiruko's attitude completely enraged Tsunade. Ignoring whether she might expose herself, she threw another punch.

This time, Hiruko finally opened his eyes and raised a hand to block it.

Water splashed everywhere as the two exchanged blows in the enormous bath, fists and kicks flying.

Bang!

Tsunade swept a roundhouse kick toward Hiruko's waist, but he caught her ankle with one hand.

"Let go!" Tsunade struggled, kicking toward his chest with her other leg.

Hiruko pulled with the motion, causing Tsunade to lose her balance and fall into the bath.

Splash—

Water sprayed everywhere.

Tsunade lifted her head from the water, golden hair stuck to her face and fury blazing in her eyes. "Hiruko! I'm going to kill you!"

"You can't beat me," Hiruko said, still expressionless.

"Then let's see!"

Chakra gathered in Tsunade's palms.

Hiruko's gaze sharpened, and he finally became serious.

During the fierce fight, Hiruko flashed aside and "accidentally" touched Tsunade...

At that instant, time seemed to freeze.

Tsunade's face immediately flushed crimson, and a flash of embarrassed fury passed through her eyes. "You... you bastard!"

Hiruko was stunned as well. So soft.

But Hiruko quickly regained his composure. "An accident."

"An accident?" Tsunade gritted her teeth. "I think you did it on purpose!"

"Think whatever you want," Hiruko said blandly, though the tips of his ears reddened slightly in the steam.

Tsunade could no longer endure it and threw a full-force punch.

Hiruko dodged swiftly, but the bath was too cramped, and their bodies inevitably made contact again.

Hiruko's hand inadvertently slid across Tsunade's waist, pressing down...
