With less than two days left until the mission's end, a faint glimmer of firelight rose again within the cave.
Shizune suddenly opened her eyes, knowing the light of the fire meant she was about to be fed again.
She is not a pig; what is feeding?
Thinking of pigs, Shizune couldn't help but worry again, wondering how the pig was doing, whether it was well, and whether Lady Tsunade had eaten the pig...
Ah, spit, spit, spit... Lady Tsunade would never eat the pig. At most, she would sell it for gambling money.
Well, there is little difference.
What Shizune needed to know was that Tsunade never took back the pig...
She left the pig behind when she was following Tsunade because it was inconvenient to carry the pig.
So, the poor pig was just forgotten like that.
But the pig had a chance to be brought back by the Konoha ninja, who went to check the situation. Only during the forgotten period did Mr. Pig muster up the courage to search for food because he was hungry.
Instead of finding food, he became the prey for other beasts, chased all around!
After barely escaping being eaten, the pig found himself lost and had to tentatively start on the road to find Konoha, thus missing the people who went to check the situation.
If the pig could speak, perhaps Shizune could write a book called "The Adventures of the Pig" later to record how an 'abandoned' ninja pig struggled to survive near Konoha for a few days, not eating well, not sleeping safely.
The poor pig almost became roasted pork on someone's table.
Stop talking, I've got the picture in my head, slurp, slurp~
Back to the main point, when Shizune opened her eyes and saw the devil holding another bun, ready to stuff it into her mouth while pulling the sock from her mouth, Shizune swore she had never spoken so fast in her life!
"Wait, don't feed me the bun. I have something to say. This is all a misunderstanding. I won't scream, so please let me finish speaking!"
The bun that Aoba held was already close to Shizune's mouth, but she was stunned by Shizune's rapid-fire rap.
Is this Eminem incarnate?
Well, Aoba didn't hear what Shizune was babbling about.
Is that the dialect from the west side of Konoha Village?
Seeing that he was finally willing to listen to her, Shizune was almost moved to tears, and it was not easy for her!
People are forced out!
So before Shizune spoke, she quickly took a few breaths of air. Her previous speed was too fast, and she almost suffocated...
"I mean, put away that damn bun in your hand first, and then let's have a calm conversation, okay?"
After Shizune finished speaking, she seemed to feel that her attitude was not very good, so she quickly squeezed out a fake rigid smile.
Even Big Baby's Photoshop acting is more vital than hers.
You've got the picture now, right?
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. What do you want to talk about?"
Being tied up like a mummy, Aoba was not afraid of what she could do, knowing that he had always been wearing Kakashi's exact type of mask, even eating while lifting the lower end of the mask like his idol senior.
Just one word: stable!
But just in case, he still put the bun in Shizune's mouth; if there were any slight mistake, he would stuff this 'damn bun' into Shizune's mouth fiercely!
"That... could you take back this bun, not to threaten me with it? I'm nervous..." Shizune proposed somewhat awkwardly.
Aoba's look suddenly became very weird. The bigger the bird, the stranger the forest was.
He had heard of claustrophobia and nyctophobia but never f***ing heard of fear of buns...
It's just a bun. What's there to be nervous about? Can it eat you?
There must be a conspiracy here!
So Aoba decided not to indulge in this quirk. She did not remove the bun but prodded it closer to her mouth...
This guy must be a devil!
Shizune seriously suspected this guy was ready to choke her with a bun at any moment. She was choked to the point of developing a psychological shadow, but he still wouldn't let her go. If not a devil, then what?
But as the saying goes, "Under the roof, one must bow," one is the knife, and the other is the fish; endure it, but not enduring it means still eating the bun.
So Shizune ignored the bun at her mouth and spoke sincerely: "I've thought it over carefully and realized there isn't any hostility between us. It might just be a misunderstanding. So, could you let me go? I promise I won't bother you again."
She hadn't mentioned it before, but as soon as she did, Aoba was furious!
Without saying another word, he stuffed the bun into Shizune's mouth!
Shizune was bewildered!
Everything was fine just now. How did he suddenly 'make his move'?
"Misunderstanding? You have the nerve to talk about misunderstanding! Did I provoke you or annoy you? You started chasing and hitting me from the get-go, huh?!"
"I ran away because I didn't want to cause trouble, and that's not okay? You have to push to the limit, right?"
"You want to trouble me again? In a little while, I'll tie a rope on you and throw you into the sea to fish for sharks. Just you wait!"
Since no one from the organization was around, Aoba spoke rudely and bluntly.
And, of course, he was angry!
He could have taken his stuff and continued his petit bourgeois life, but somehow he ended up in a fight and, because of the damn system, had to hide here, not eating well, not sleeping well...
Oh, Tsunade's fault, well...
That's not okay either!
Can't catch Tsunade, so take it out on her little maid!
Shizune, who was suddenly scolded, was at a loss for words, even forgetting to chew.
After returning to her senses, she quickly chewed and swallowed the bun in her mouth, and simultaneously, Aoba had another bun ready at her mouth.
As if warning her, think carefully before you speak!
The 'Bun Thunder' in the anti-Japanese drama series is genuinely trustworthy, scared, huh? Humph!
Knowing she was scared, Shizune quickly softened her tone: "Yes, it's all our fault. But since it's a misunderstanding, I think it's better to clear it up..."
"I don't care what you think, and I care what I think!"
"Uh, then what do you think..."
"One million. Do you have it?"
Shizune shook her head. How could she and Lady Tsunade possibly have a million? A million taels of IOUs could be produced in mass quantity at any minute.
So Aoba immediately rolled his eyes, "You don't even have a million, and you still want to clear up a misunderstanding? Eat your bun!"
The next second, Shizune's face was forced to 'swell' again...
