Chapter 167: Swift as a Leaping Rabbit

"What on earth is going on?"

Kato Yufeng was filled with a head full of question marks, utterly bewildered as to how Tsunade had suddenly brought up Yamanaka Chizuru.

Hearing Tsunade mention Yamanaka Chizuru instantly reminded Kato Yufeng of the lively little white rabbits he had seen when he lapsed into unconsciousness in Uchiha Yashiro's memories.

"Could Tsunade's abnormal mood and unprovoked temper this morning be because she's insanely jealous of Yamanaka Chizuru?"

Thinking about Yamanaka Chizuru's figure, Kato Yufeng's mind cleared up significantly in an instant, and his gaze lost its previous dazed expression.

The light blue starlight in his eyes secretly and stealthily stared at the two magnificent white rabbits on Tsunade's chest opposite him. In a flash, he conducted a comprehensive comparison with Yamanaka Chizuru's little white rabbits—size, color, luster, shape, curve, softness, elasticity...

With all sorts of wild and random thoughts racing through his mind, Kato Yufeng ultimately concluded that the magnificent white rabbits belonging to his girlfriend, Tsunade, were far more alluring, outperforming Yamanaka Chizuru by more than just a little in every aspect.

"That doesn't make sense though. At most, Yamanaka Chizuru only has two little white rabbits on her chest, while Tsunade has two magnificent white rabbits. There's no reason for her to be jealous of Yamanaka Chizuru."

"What Yamanaka Chizuru? Why would I be thinking about her?"

Even though in his heart he was comparing Yamanaka Chizuru's little white rabbits with Tsunade's magnificent white rabbits, Kato Yufeng certainly wouldn't admit it out loud, offering a sophistical defense.

Although Kato Yufeng was still puzzled by the reason for Tsunade's earlier abnormal mood swings, this did not prevent him from noticing that Tsunade's mood had clearly improved.

The fact that Tsunade was willing to talk and communicate properly with him, and even bring up Yamanaka Chizuru—regardless of whether she was genuinely jealous or not—was proof that her mood had improved.

After figuring this out, Kato Yufeng decided to take advantage of Tsunade's good mood instead of guessing blindly in circles, and continued, "I was zoning out just now because I was thinking about you, wondering why your mood was so abnormal earlier and why you were throwing such a little tantrum."

"Hmph!" Tsunade let out a dainty huff. However, she was hardly going to admit that she had just been unreasonable and throwing a petty tantrum, and she continued to steer the conversation back toward Yamanaka Chizuru.

"Don't think I didn't see that infatuated look Yamanaka Chizuru gave you yesterday at the Hokage's Residence!"

As she spoke of Yamanaka Chizuru's infatuated gaze, Tsunade recalled the specific scene from the Hokage's Residence yesterday, and she actually started to feel a genuine trace of jealousy.

A woman's thought process is truly a strange thing. One minute she was worried about her boyfriend and her about to live in separate places, and the next minute she was starting to feel ungrounded, petty jealousy.

Of course, Kato Yufeng would never admit that he had seen Yamanaka Chizuru's infatuated gaze toward him, and continued to sophistically argue, "When did Yamanaka Chizuru ever look at me with an infatuated expression?"

The truth was, he really hadn't noticed it at the time, but he had indeed seen it later that night while browsing through Uchiha Yashiro's memories.

Not only had he seen Yamanaka Chizuru's infatuated gaze, but he had also seen Yamanaka Chizuru's little white rabbits.

"For the past half a year or so, you haven't missed many chances to run off to the old man's place behind my back. Was that to go see Yamanaka Chizuru?"

Once a woman gets jealous, her unreasonableness is truly something else, and Tsunade was no exception.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten about the issue of living apart. Her imagination skyrocketed to the edges of the universe, locking relentlessly onto the fact that Yamanaka Chizuru had looked at Kato Yufeng with infatuation.

"No way, every time I went to see the Third Hokage, it was for proper business. Absolutely not to go look at girls."

"Hmph, I say you did, so you did! Now that I think back on it, the expression she gave you yesterday was completely wrong!"

"Ugh..." Kato Yufeng was left speechless. At this moment, his expression was entirely this:
(￣ェ￣;)

And Tsunade's expression at the moment was like this:
(￢_￢) *peering*

Kato Yufeng and Tsunade engaged in a staring contest, locking gazes across the dining table for a good while. In the end, Kato Yufeng was the first to surrender. His waist went limp, and his head thumped directly onto the dining table.

A moment later, Kato Yufeng's lifeless and despairing voice rang out, "Princess, if you say I did, then I did. It's not like I can control how other people look at me."

"Hmph!" Tsunade let out a silly, dainty huff, revealing a triumphant smile. "Get up. You still haven't explained why you were zoning out just earlier."

"Right, what was I thinking about that made me zone out?"

Kato Yufeng straightened his waist and snapped right back up from his slumped position on the dining table.

The two light blue starlight orbs in his eyes spun around in a dizzy blur, spinning just as fast as when Uchiha Yashiro's Mangekyo Sharingan was awakening last night. He had been completely and utterly bewildered by Tsunade's mercurial moods this morning.

"Pfft, hahaha."

Looking at the foolish boyfriend sitting opposite her, Tsunade could no longer hold it in and burst into hearty laughter, completely shedding any trace of unhappiness or jealousy.

As it turned out, Tsunade had simply been deliberately picking a fight with Kato Yufeng earlier. Usually, it was Kato Yufeng who teased and provoked her—just like how he had caught her in that embarrassing awkward moment in the bedroom this morning.

Since she rarely got to see her boyfriend looking so dazed and foolish, she naturally wanted to get a little payback for being teased this morning.

Even though riding the "big horse" earlier that morning had made her extremely happy, it didn't prevent her from feeling delighted at seeing her boyfriend agonizing, acting foolish, and getting completely befuddled because of her.

Because her reluctance to face their separation was real, her abnormal mood and petty temper were real, her jealousy was real, and her playful bickering right now was also real. Such was the mercurial mood of Tsunade, deeply immersed in passionate love.

--------------------------------------------------

"Oh, come on, Princess, are you playing with me?"

Once Tsunade burst into happy laughter, how could Kato Yufeng fail to realize that he had been played with?

Tsunade, of course, refused to admit that she had played with Kato Yufeng. Laughing so hard that her upper body swayed back and forth with curved, smiling eyes, she said, "Hmph, I did no such thing. Do you dare claim that Yamanaka Chizuru wasn't looking at you infatuatedly yesterday?"

Perhaps because she had finally successfully toyed with Kato Yufeng, Tsunade was laughing so happily that the movement of her upper body was a bit too exaggerated. As a result, the two magnificent white rabbits on her chest instantly transitioned from a resting, quiet state into a lively, active state.

Real, living, bouncing, magnificent white rabbits.

A mere hundredth of a second later, they directly captured Kato Yufeng's entire gaze and attention.

*Still as a virgin, moving as a fleeing rabbit*—these eight grand characters, accompanied by the two bouncing magnificent white rabbits, instantly filled Kato Yufeng's mind.

The two light blue starlight orbs in his eyes somehow reverted to a dead-fish-eye expression, staring blankly at Tsunade's nest of rabbits.

Not receiving a reply from her boyfriend, Tsunade gradually stopped her trembling laughter, raised her eyes, and saw that the bad-boy boyfriend opposite her was staring blankly at her chest once more.

How could she not understand what that villainous boyfriend opposite her was thinking? Recalling the joy of riding the horse after her embarrassing moment earlier, Tsunade deliberately adopted a coquettish, sweet voice, "Hmph! I asked you a question. Where are your eyes looking?"

After letting out a dainty huff, Tsunade purposely wanted to continue toying with her boyfriend. Not only did she refuse to avoid his burning gaze, but she even pulled the neckline of her clothes—which had loosened from all the shaking—outward a bit more on both sides.

Thinking about it, she decided it still wasn't enough, and she slightly puffed out her chest even further.
