Chapter 35: Kushina: This Grudge! I Will Remember It.
"There was a mosquito!"
This was the reason Aoyama Ruyun gave.
Mm! A sound argument!
But Tsunade and Kushina, who heard this, had black lines running down their faces.
*The climate? What damn problem is there with the climate!*
But Aoyama Ruyun, who was pondering other things, didn't care about this at all.
Although he knew early on that it probably wouldn't increase his compatibility, Aoyama Ruyun was still a little disappointed after the test.
After all, although Uzumaki Kushina was the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, she herself had no strength.
The power gap was too large. Defeating such an opponent wouldn't increase Aoyama Ruyun's compatibility at all.
Unless Kushina underwent a Tailed Beast Transformation.
But the current Kushina had just become the Jinchuriki not long ago.
Never mind a Tailed Beast Transformation, she probably hadn't even communicated with the Nine-Tails yet.
"Aren't we going to eat? Let's go!"
Quickly, Aoyama Ruyun's mindset returned to normal, and he said to Tsunade.
"Let's go!"
Tsunade also nodded and followed, not saying much.
But this scene made Kushina, at the side, look in disbelief.
"Sister Tsunade!"
*What's going on? Sister Tsunade actually didn't help me?*
"Alright, stop being naughty!"
Although she didn't know what the facts were, Tsunade believed that Aoyama Ruyun would absolutely not attack a child for no reason.
"I..."
*So wronged!*
Kushina almost cried out of grievance.
Although she was indeed naughty, that was all back in the Land of Whirlpools.
Ever since the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed and she came to Konoha, Kushina had always been well-behaved.
*I was clearly the one who got hit, but I'm the one being told off.*
*What is this world coming to!*
"Humph! Watch me eat you poor!"
Following Aoyama Ruyun to a barbecue restaurant.
As soon as she sat down, Kushina ordered one of every expensive item.
The meaning was simple: *Although I can't beat you, I can make trouble for you in other ways.*
"Sigh!"
But this childish behavior made Tsunade feel helpless.
It only made her believe even more that Kushina was being naughty.
Aoyama Ruyun had an indifferent look on his face.
In order to make Aoyama Ruyun spend a lot of money, Kushina ate deliberately. Even when she was a bit full, she forced herself to eat more.
Seeing the total on the bill, Kushina smiled secretly.
*That's what you get for bullying me! See how I've scammed you.*
When she tried to stand up again, Kushina almost fell over.
"I'm so full!"
Her stomach even hurt from eating.
"Who told you to eat so much!"
Tsunade, at the side, gave Kushina an annoyed look.
*Are you trying to make things difficult for Aoyama Ruyun, or for yourself?*
"It's fine, it's fine! A little food, I'm totally fine!"
Kushina quickly waved her hands, indicating it was a small matter.
Aoyama Ruyun smiled.
"Oh? Then do you want to eat a little more?"
"..."
Looking at Aoyama Ruyun's smiling face, Kushina didn't answer.
*Is he a devil!*
Of course, it was impossible to eat any more.
"Let's go!"
After recovering for a good while, Kushina took the lead and walked out.
Having "scammed" Aoyama Ruyun out of a meal, Kushina felt a little proud.
She thought, *When Aoyama Ruyun goes to pay and sees the bill, he'll definitely have a pained expression!*
But what happened next left Kushina dumbfounded.
Aoyama Ruyun didn't pay at all. He just said hello to the restaurant owner, then walked out with Tsunade.
"Wait!"
After being stunned for a good while, Kushina reacted and quickly ran in front of Aoyama Ruyun.
"You didn't pay!"
"I'm friends with the owner of this barbecue restaurant. I never need to pay when I eat here!"
Shrugging, Aoyama Ruyun explained naturally.
But Kushina, who heard this explanation, was on the verge of collapse!
"Nani!"
"Ah!"
At the same time, the owner of the barbecue restaurant also said with a smile,
"Lord Ruyun is a friend of my Akimichi Clan. Anyone who eats at my Akimichi Clan's barbecue restaurants doesn't need to pay!"
The chubby owner smiled kindly.
But in Kushina's eyes, the shop owner's smile was just like that of a demon.
*Why didn't you say so earlier!*
*If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten so much!*
*Aaaaaah! So annoying!*
Kushina was going completely crazy inside.
Aoyama Ruyun looked amused. Tsunade, at the side, gave Aoyama Ruyun an annoyed look.
"You're really something, bickering with a child!"
"Don't you think it's quite interesting?"
Aoyama Ruyun also didn't expect that a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails would be such an interesting person.
With that, Aoyama Ruyun cheerfully waved at Kushina.
"Yo! Little Kushina, do you need me to take you home?"
"I don't want you to!"
If it weren't for the fact she couldn't beat him, Kushina would have started hitting him by now.
Regarding Aoyama Ruyun's suggestion, Kushina rejected it very decisively.
"Humph!"
Like a child throwing a tantrum typical of her age,
Kushina looked at Aoyama Ruyun angrily.
"Just you wait! Next time, I'll definitely win!"
In Kushina's eyes, the feud between her and Aoyama Ruyun was now established.
*Just wait, I will definitely get my revenge.*
Although young, Kushina was tough-minded and didn't feel she was worse than anyone.
*I lost this time, so I'll just win next time.*
After speaking, Kushina ran off.
It was just that she had eaten too much.
Her running gave off a chubby, waddling feeling.
"Hahaha!"
Aoyama Ruyun laughed without reservation.
Hearing the laughter, Kushina ran even faster.
"You're really something, bickering with a child!"
Tsunade at the side, although also smiling, said annoyedly after seeing Aoyama Ruyun acting just like a child.
"Well! A person has to find interesting things to do!"
In Aoyama Ruyun's eyes, teasing Kushina...
was very interesting!
