"You started fooling around before you'd even recovered. Look at you now-you can't even get up."
Tsunade complained irritably to Anyo, a trace of embarrassed annoyance on her flushed face.
Anyo argued shamelessly, "Aren't you the doctor? I'm the patient. You didn't stop me, so that means you gave your tacit approval."

The ninja outside quickly replied, "Lady Tsunade, a hidden sentry just launched a signal flare. Suspected enemies are approaching
