The instant Shizune heard those words, she completely forgot about Tsunade's gaze and turned to Sakura in astonishment, unable to help admiring her courage!
After taking a good look at Sakura's expression, she turned to Lady Tsunade and saw that she looked as though she had choked on her words. Her face quickly turned bright red.
Still, she put on a stern front. "Your nerve just keeps growing when I don't keep you in line! Now you even dare to tease me!"
Looking as though she had no idea how devastating her last remark had been, Sakura gazed calmly at Lady Tsunade and dropped another bombshell. "Master Tsunade, we wouldn't laugh at you if you told us the truth. Even if you stop pretending to be so fierce, I'll still train hard. You don't have to make things so difficult for yourself!"
Then, as though she had remembered something important, she said solemnly, "I promised I wouldn't embarrass you, and I'll definitely keep that promise. You don't have to put yourself through all this!"
At those words, Lady Tsunade's entire face turned scarlet, right down to her ears. This was the first time anyone other than Uchiha Yin had made her blush like this, and for a moment, she could barely speak.
After struggling for a while, she finally managed to squeeze out, "Get back to training! Haven't you rested enough? Shizune, get over here!"
Sakura pursed her lips in acknowledgment, put away her playful expression, and began practicing seriously. Her chakra control was countless times more precise than it had been when she was feeling dejected!
Watching from the side, Tsunade felt deeply reassured. At last, she felt comfortable leaving Sakura to train alone. She turned to Shizune, who had exposed all her secrets. "Come with me!"
