Faced with Xuandou's threat, Kazahana Koyuki's expression changed, and she immediately lunged toward Tsunade.
Traces of embarrassment and anger still lingered on her face.
She knelt before Tsunade, pressing her palms together as she begged for her help.
"Lady Tsunade! Lady Tsunade, save me!"

As for why Tsunade hadn't argued-
The main reason was that she knew Xuandou's personality. She knew she would have to accept this little couples' game;
