[Since this is a short chapter then here you go. But this makes the previous power stone challenge nil.]
There was a big oak tree in the ninja academy's courtyard, and under that tree two individuals were looking at each other... lewdly.
-------------
Garou's POV/
Me and Tsunade were just standing there staring at each other for a few moments while I waited for what she had to say, even though in my mind I was pretty sure she was probably going to confess to me or something.
"Hey Garou!" She said.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"Umm, when I got back to the Senju compound that day, I met my Grandma Mito." She said.
"Okay, and then?" I asked curiously.
"She said that she wanted to meet you." She said and I immediately narrowed my eyes.
This wasn't a confession?!
Damn!
Mito wanting to meet someone is a big deal, and there's nothing good that comes out of anything when that cunning woman gets involved with THAT anything.
"Why?" I asked cautiously which made Tsunade a little uncomfortable.
"I don't know but she said that she wanted to meet you." She replied.
"Then tell her I won't come." I told her immediately.
"Umm hehe but..." She scratched her cheeks in embarrassment, probably not expecting me to reject meeting her so fast.
"But?" I said confused.
"She said that if you don't come then she will reveal your secret to the Hokage." She said.
I looked calm on the surface when I heard her but my mind was on full alert and my heart started beating faster.
'Secret? Does she know that I'm not a human? But from when? How? I didn't tell anyone about this!' I thought real fast, my mind in turmoil trying to figure out what she meant by secret.
I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Did she say anything about what the secret is?"
"No, she just said that she is expecting you to meet her." She answered which made me even more cautious.
'Should I just pack some money and run away? The Land of Rice and the Land of Tea are quite peaceful and I could go there to train and become stronger then come back when Mito dies.' I thought about some things real fast not knowing what to do.
Right at this moment, I wasn't sure I could even hit the woman, let alone beat her.
Above all, that woman had the power of Sealing. If she could Seal someone like Kurama then it will be easy to Seal me too.
My body is already in a weakened and sealed state, I can't afford having another Seal on myself.

No One's POV/
*Whisper whisper whisper.*
"Hey! Can anyone hear what they are saying?!" A student said while looking at the duo through a window sneakily with all the other students trying to listen to what they were talking about.
"No, I can't hear."
"Me neither."
"I am autistic, don't ask me."
"Anyone have a solution for this?!" Someone asked.
"I don't think so."
"Hey Yuji, you're the smarter one here, so can you help us with this?" Ken who had dried blood all over his face and clothes said to Yuji.
"Sigh, try using Aburame Kinshi's bugs to transmit what they are saying to Kinshi and then tell him to tell us what they are talking about." Yuji suggested tiredly while rubbing his forehead.
"That's a great idea! Ayo! Kinshi come here for a second!!" Ken called Kinshi loudly.
Kinshi looked at Ken who was some distance away and made his way over.
"Yes?" He quietly asked.
"Can you use your bugs to tell us what those two are talking about?" Ken asked.
"Well I think I can." Kinshi replied coolly and slowly raised his hands, then sent some bugs towards the two.
"Ayo guys come here, Kinshi will tell us what they are saying!" As Ken said that, all the students flocked around Kinshi quickly.
"Well, they are saying..." Kinshi then started to transmit their conversation.

Tsunade's POV/
I looked up at Garou who had a serious face while thinking absentmindedly about what I informed him regarding my grandma wanting to meet him.
'So tall!' I thought while looking up at him because my head barely reached his muscular chest.
Then I slowly examined his serious sharp face which was looking attractive to me and then looked down at his upper body where you could see his perfect muscles underneath his black sleeved shirt.
'I wanna touch those really bad.' I thought while gulping.
I shook my head and looked back at him who was still thinking deeply at the moment.
'I need to ask him and confirm what they were talking about in class. This is the perfect opportunity.' I thought nervously.
"Ano Garou, can I ask you something?" I asked with some sweat accumulating on my palms.
"Hmm." He nodded seriously.
"Umm..." I paused for a little while thinking if I should really ask him or not.
'If not now then I will miss this opportunity to ask him again!' I thought with new resolve.
"Do... do you like me?!" I asked with my body heating up quickly, I put my hands on my face and waited for his answer.
It may sound sudden and we barely know each other, but my body is pulling me towards him since the moment I have laid my eyes on him.
He has this irresistible Aura surrounding him that attracts you.
This is not normal! What's happening to me?
I have never felt like this to anyone!
Why do I want to have him to myself so badly?!
---------------
No One's POV/
"She asked Garou if he likes her." Kinshi quietly said.
"Woahhh!"
"Jacked bro doesn't even need to try!!"
"Like, what the hell man??!"
"She doesn't feel like Tsunade at all but a normal girl going nuts for a boy!!"
"But Tsunade is a normal girl though!" A simp defended Tsunade.
"No! She wasn't interested in anything but punching people! That ain't normal."
"I thought she was into... trees." Someone murmured.
"This is crazy!"
"Ahhh, she beat me to it!" A girl said.
"Yeah, I had a crush on him the first day he came too!" Another girl said.
"Just look at those muscles!" A girl said with hearts in her eyes.
"Do you think Tsunade can share a piece of him?"
"Tch." ×25
The boys clicked their tongues in jealousy.
"Shhhh let's hear his answer, be quiet guys!" Ken said and they immediately got closer to Kinshi, listening attentively.
--------------
Tsunade's POV/
Pat!
"Yes." He seriously nodded and replied as he put his huge hand on my head.
"Eh?!" I uttered in bewilderment and slowly put my hands on my face in embarrassment.
"I will wait for you after the academy and go meet your grandma together. See you." He said and I shyly nodded.
'Sh... shouldn't he stutter and get surprised?! Why am I the only one who is embarrassed? This is unfair!' I thought while hiding my face between my hands.
I slowly removed my hands and looked at his wide back that was retreating. Thinking about how good it was with his hand on my head.
"Am I falling in love?!" I muttered to myself while feeling butterflies in my stomach.
--------------
Garou's POV
I pat Tsunade with a smile and leave after answering her.
But there are more concerning matters than bagging a future wife.
'What does she want from me? Will she kill me? She is probably the strongest person to exist right now, who can oppose her even if she killed me? I just hope nothing too serious happens which I doubt is possible.' I thought about these things while I made my way back to the class to lay down on the table and sleep.
I didn't run away from fights, but even a battle maniac like me knew that fighting Mito was just suicide and useless.
So it would be better to not fight.
I arrived before the front door and opened it to enter but–
Silence.
When I entered, I looked around the class and saw that all the students were staring at me weirdly which creeped me out for a second.
Some had fearful expressions, some had jealousy, hatred, anger and... pity?
"What are you looking at assholes?!" I shouted at them angrily and they immediately looked away in fear.
"Tch." I clicked my tongue in annoyance.
My mind was in turmoil and now these useless scrubs were creeping me out for no reason which pissed me off.
I continued on my way until I sat down between my two buddies again with the addition of a blonde dude.
"Hmm, what?" I looked at the three who were staring at me like I grew some horns.
"You really ask that?" Ken asked but his proud looking face unsettled me.
"Why though?" I asked back with a raised eyebrow.
At that moment Tsunade entered the class and went back to her seat between Jiraiya and Orochimaru who were looking at her weirdly but she ignored them with a tinge of blush on her face and sat down.
"Sigh, don't play dumb. Didn't you confess your feelings to Tsunade moments ago?" Ken said loudly enough for Tsunade to hear.
How the fuck these dudes know?
"Okay, and?" I replied a little flustered before composing myself immediately.
I turned to look at Tsunade who flinched at what I said and her blush became more noticeable. Everybody was giving her looks which made her shy.
"Was she the blonde you liked?" Ken asked with a knowing smirk.
I looked at Tsunade for a moment. "Yes." I replied, voice a little higher with a smirk so Tsunade could hear me.
Making Tsunade attached to me will give me an edge in my confrontation with Mito later. Besides, I hate lying. I like Tsunade for real, she is lovely and some 8 years later, she will reach her best in everything. I gotta have that for myself.
Maybe rushed but I don't care.
All Aeeing Eyes of whatever, as Miller calls it.
A strong man needs a strong woman in their life, and who is better than Tsunade in this world?
Well obviously, that babe Kaguya Otsutsuki but she is out of reach and useless to me right now.
Kaguya was more my type, but she gives grandma vibes and I ain't into old fossils.
I also prefer a chaste woman more.
The End.
