Chapter 80: After all, the Slug Princess was no demon! (Please keep reading! Please vote with monthly tickets!)
A new day, early morning.
Princess Tsunade stood alone in the clearing at the center of the Training Ground, her arms folded across her chest.
She looked very impatient, muttering her Second Granduncle's catchphrase under her breath.
"Inherently evil Uchiha brat..."
Tsunade had spent the whole of yesterday agonizing.
Agonizing over why she had impulsively agreed to Uchiha Minamoto's bet.
Agonizing over why she had gone soft on that blond brat.

"That damned bastard..."
Tsunade's voice held back towering fury.
She could all but imagine just what despicable methods Shimura Danzō had used to cultivate this
