"Tsunade."
Uchiha Yao stared into Tsunade's eyes.
"Do you... like me?"
Boom!
Tsunade's mind instantly went blank.
She... what had she just heard?
Like him?
What kind of joke was that?!
"Who... who likes you?! Stop being so full of yourself!"
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Tsunade instantly bristled and denied it without a second thought.
Yet the panic in her darting eyes and the uncontrollable blush spreading across her cheeks betrayed her completely.
"Is that so?"
Uchiha Yao chuckled softly at her stubborn denial.
"If you don't like me, then why are you jealous?"
"I... I'm not jealous!"
Tsunade immediately retorted loudly.
"I just... I just can't stand you fooling around in the Hokage's Office!"
"Oh? That's all?"
Uchiha Yao slowly leaned closer to Tsunade.
Their noses were nearly touching.
Tsunade could clearly feel the warm breath he exhaled brushing against her face, sending a shiver through her.
Her heartbeat completely spiraled out of control.
"Wh-what are you trying to do?"
A faint tremble entered Tsunade's voice.
"I'm warning you, don't try anything... mmph!"
The rest of her words were swallowed by a domineering, forceful kiss.
Tsunade's eyes flew wide open.
Her mind buzzed and completely shut down.
He...
He actually...
Kissed her?
That bastard!
That lawless bastard!
Tsunade felt her entire worldview crumbling inch by inch.
She wanted to push Uchiha Yao away.
To punch his head apart!
But the strength in her body seemed to have been drained in an instant, leaving her weak and limp.
Uchiha Yao gave Tsunade no time to think.
One hand clasped the back of her head while the other tightly wrapped around her slender waist, leaving her no chance to escape as he pinned her firmly against his chest.
Tsunade went from initial shock, to instinctive struggle,
