Chapter 657 Seriously
"I'm serious." Zhang Hai's tone was earnest, without a hint of joking. He knew Orochimaru's research institute was located below the heavy prison cells, and if he were transferred to a regular cell, his cooperation with Orochimaru would be severely restricted. He didn't want to give up the opportunity to improve his strength for a little "freedom."
Tsunade looked at Zhang Hai's serious expression and felt strange, but ultimately said nothing. She simply stuffed the document revoking his status as a serious offender into Zhang Hai's hand.
"Whatever!" Tsunade said irritably. "The document has already been approved, so you can stay wherever you want!"
She turned to leave. However, just as she was about to walk out of the cell, Zhang Hai suddenly called out to her.
"Lady Tsunade, may I ask... who is in charge of guarding that 'specially constructed ordinary prison cell'?" Zhang Hai's voice carried a hint of curiosity.
Tsunade turned her head and looked at Zhang Hai, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but she still answered truthfully: "That cell is under my supervision. The environment there is special, which is just right for conducting some medical research, and it is also convenient for you to do some auxiliary work."
Tsunade's words sent a shiver down Zhang Hai's spine.
Tsunade is in charge of guarding it? And that cell has a special environment, suitable for medical research?!
Zhang Hai instantly understood. This was no ordinary prison cell; it was clearly a place Tsunade had specially prepared so that she could continue to monitor him and openly use him!
His lips twitched involuntarily, a wry smile playing on his lips. He had thought that by refusing the transfer, he could continue cooperating with Orochimaru. He hadn't expected Tsunade to have such a trick up her sleeve!
Looking at the document in his hand that lifted his status as a serious offender, he recalled Orochimaru's ambiguous smile and suddenly felt like he had been tricked.
“So…” Tsunade looked at Zhang Hai’s pensive expression, showing no sign of pleasure, and her tone became somewhat dangerous, “Now, do you want to choose to stay in the severe punishment cell, or go to my… ‘specially constructed ordinary cell’ to do some… ‘auxiliary work’ for me?”
Tsunade's words were full of threat. She knew what Zhang Hai was thinking, and she knew he didn't want to leave the torture chamber. But now that she had made the arrangements, she would not allow Zhang Hai to cause any more trouble.
“So…” Tsunade looked at Zhang Hai’s pensive expression and said in a dangerous tone, “Now, do you want to stay in the severe punishment cell, or go to my… ‘specially constructed ordinary cell’ and do some… ‘auxiliary work’ for me?”
Looking into Tsunade's threatening eyes, Zhang Hai sighed helplessly. He knew he had no other choice at that moment.
"Lady Tsunade, you flatter me." Zhang Hai forced a smile, his tone tinged with obsequiousness. "Of course I'd be happy to serve Lady Tsunade! It would be my honor to do 'auxiliary work' for a beautiful, intelligent, and kind-hearted medical ninja like you! I... I couldn't be happier!"
He praised Tsunade from head to toe, trying to quell the anger in her heart.
Upon hearing Zhang Hai's words, Tsunade's anger subsided considerably, and a smug smile even crept onto her lips. She knew that Zhang Hai would ultimately listen to her.
However, Zhang Hai's next words instantly froze the smile on Tsunade's face.
"And... Lady Tsunade, you look so young, when we stand together, it's like... like siblings!" Zhang Hai blurted out, trying to further bridge the gap between the two.
The words "siblings" exploded in Tsunade's ears like a thunderclap! Her smiling face instantly turned ashen! Veins bulged on her forehead, and her clenched fist cracked with a crisp sound!
"What did you say?! Siblings?!" Tsunade roared, her voice almost lifting the roof off the cell. Her eyes, filled with rage, glared at Zhang Hai as if she wanted to devour him alive!
What she hates most is being told she's old! And that bastard Zhang Hai actually dared to say they looked like siblings?! Isn't that blatantly calling her old?!
"I...I didn't mean that..." Zhang Hai cried out inwardly, knowing he had said the wrong thing again.
However, Tsunade gave him no chance to explain.
"Go to hell! You bastard!"
Tsunade roared, her fury and terrifying strength unleashed as she slammed a punch into Zhang Hai's face!
"boom!"
A loud crash. Zhang Hai had no time to dodge and could only take the brunt of Tsunade's punch. His body slammed against the cell wall with a dull thud. He slid to the ground like a rag doll.
He felt a burning pain on his face, and a trickle of blood slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth. Even with his Mangekyou Sharingan activated, he couldn't completely withstand Tsunade's fist.
"Cough cough... Lady Tsunade... Please... Please let me explain..." Zhang Hai struggled, trying to get up from the ground, but his body was somewhat out of control.
Seeing Zhang Hai's disheveled appearance, Tsunade's anger subsided somewhat, but the rage on her face remained undiminished. She stood with her hands on her hips, panting, glaring at Zhang Hai.
"Explain what?! You brat! Let me tell you! If you dare say something like that again, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!" Tsunade threatened sternly.
Zhang Hai knew he absolutely couldn't provoke Tsunade any further. He quickly scrambled to his feet, ignoring the pain in his face, and flattered her, saying, "Lady Tsunade is right! I misspoke! Lady Tsunade, you are eternally youthful and your beauty never fades! When we stand together, people will only think you are my older sister!"
"Sister?" Upon hearing this address, Tsunade's anger subsided considerably. Looking at Zhang Hai's swollen face, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
"Hmph! That's more like it!" Tsunade said irritably. "Since you're so sincere, then I'll reluctantly become your older sister!"
Zhang Hai breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that taking that punch was worthwhile.
"Yes, sister!" Zhang Hai immediately changed his tune, his face beaming with smiles.
"Alright! Stop joking!" Tsunade rolled her eyes at him. "Hurry up and pack your things, come with me!"
Zhang Hai nodded. He quickly tidied himself up and followed Tsunade out of the torture chamber.
When he stepped out of the cell and onto the ground, the long-awaited sunlight made him feel a little uncomfortable. He squinted, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face.
