Chapter 155: The Decision

Shikamaru didn't even lift an eyebrow from her haughty words, although the pain from the nerve endings swept through his entire body, it rather amused him. He smiled and stared into her brown eyes:

“Five great shinobi countries, I will fight each of their Kage. I'm not going to look for small villages.

Tsunade showed a frustrated look.

- Even for my sake?

`` Ho ... I never thought that you were capable of making such a cute face, '' the pain in the chest increased noticeably, but Tsunade rewarded the guy with only a charming smile:

“You don’t even know what I’m capable of. But, so be it ... Five fools are enough. Once you defeat each of the five Kage, consider me agreeing to be your girlfriend.

Shikamaru slowly touched Tsunade's hair under the scrutiny of her furious gaze.

- Do you want to deceive me? The deal must be complete ...

- And what do you want? - the girl growled, already starting to boil. She naturally had no intention of fulfilling these stupid conditions. All this is just a simple farce. In the end, she knew for sure that the guy would probably get scared as soon as he saw her without Henge and would just run away, flashing his heels. In fact, she did not lose anything, but he will have to make enemies for himself in at least four great countries. What madman would even do such a thing for a woman? From the looks of it, this boy was overconfident due to his unique abilities. His youthful character will quickly calm down as soon as he realizes the danger of this venture. When this happens, he will only have to escape. It is very doubtful that he will appear in disgrace to appear in the eyes of a girl, after such speeches ... This will definitely be an excellent lesson for him!

Shikamaru definitely noticed a lot in the girl's eyes, especially her thoughts about him. Only she did not know who he really was and that he was no longer a small boy.

Shikamaru smiled and explained:

- We need to say everything clearly so that we do not have a misunderstanding in three years, and we also need a witness to this transaction.

“Witness,” Tsunade gritted her teeth and pressed her finger even harder into the guy’s strong chest. Shikamaru chuckled wryly and looked away. No more than a couple of minutes have passed since their little skirmish, but people will soon gather here, so ... The guy stretched out his hand, and after swinging two fingers, a long black cloak flew out of his ring. Instantly, he found himself on Tsunade's naked body. The girl did not even have time to understand how all her charms were instantly hidden. Tsunade looked at Shikamaru in amazement while he was looking elsewhere.

- Shizune, can you come out? - he shouted, which brought the princess out of her reverie. She then turned in the same direction as he. There, on the edge of the street, the silhouette of a girl instantly appeared. Shizune had already changed her clothes and was looking at what was happening with obvious bewilderment. Mostly she hadn't heard much, but the last words about the strange deal of these two were for sure.

Suddenly, Shikamaru folded several stamps and replicas appeared everywhere. Without further ado, they surrounded the street to prevent unwanted guests from entering.

Shikamaru smiled at the blonde again and said:

“Shizune, be a witness to this treaty.

- Agreement? - the girl looked at her teacher in surprise. Tsunade nodded glumly in response. Shizune immediately replied:

“H-well, I get it.

Shikamaru continued to keep an eye on the princess's beautiful ears, her delicate neck and damp hair. At the same moment, she turned, again meeting his gray eyes. Her frown instantly disappeared, for the first time she realized how close to be with him, and for the first time she saw such a calm look from his side ... Senju involuntarily froze for the first time not knowing what to say to her now. But he spoke first:

“I, Shikamaru Nara, swear that I will defeat every Kage of the five great countries within three years. If I cannot do this, then my life, body and soul will completely belong to this woman.

Shizune opened her mouth in shock when she heard that. Even Tsunade began to realize how strange it sounds, especially now that she is so close to him, looking up at him in his own cloak ...

- Well? Shikamaru raised an eyebrow questioningly as he continued to stare.

Tsunade instantly regained her composure and after a displeased laugh she turned away and said menacingly:

- If you do this, I will become yours, those ... I will just become yours! I'm not going to say this nonsense! Get out! And just dare to appear if you do not defeat them, even the devil himself cannot imagine your fate!

With a quick step, Tsunade walked towards Shizune, trying not to look at the man anymore.

Shikamaru just let out a chuckle and nodded.

“Okay, Shizune heard everything, I'll take mine anyway. So hopefully in three years time, we can do without stupid games. You will be my Tsunade Senju, I swear!

The princess shuddered sharply and immediately turned around, only at the same moment Shikamaru's silhouette evaporated, and then all the clones dispersed. So, in the company of the student, she was left alone, with Shikamaru's cloak thrown over her naked body ...

***

A day later.

Last night, Shikamaru left the city in a hurry, never resting. However, after the funny incident with Tsunade, he did not even mind. After collecting his things, the guy just left Shukuba. He did this most definitely not because of Princess Senju, but rather because of the consequences of his battle with her. For this, someone will obviously have to pay, and he did not want to participate in this at all. Few saw him that day, so he just dumped so as not to shine again.

The deal with Tsunade turned out to be quite interesting, as was the small battle. Shikamaru had enough confidence in his abilities, and he could well fight the Kage even without any promises, but simply for the sake of new sensations and a test of his abilities. It is highly doubtful that in the lull after the recent war, a simple challenge to a friendly fight could provoke something too overwhelming. Of course, the danger was more likely for Shikamaru himself. After all, the word "peace" for many shinobi did not quite have the same meaning as for other people. Mortal and ninja are used to frequent conflicts, so things could be temporary. Even so, it doesn't matter, the fight could have turned out not so bad, albeit risky. Of course, the precautions were definitely worth taking.
