He didn't speak but instead lifted his arm in her direction sending snakes after her. Tsunade jumped back and darted to the side. They both knew that all she had to do was touch him and the fight was over.

Orochimaru put his hands together, near laughing at the chakra molding; it was a heady feeling and one he had almost forgotten. "Earth Style Wall" He yelled and put his hands to the ground summoning it between them. It wouldn't stop Tsunade for long, but he had an idea and silently made the seals to mix his water and earth release to flood the area he calculated she'd land in after attacking. His analysis paid off and as soon as the blonde landed he sent the tidal wave of muck her way.

Tsunade had taken one look at the wall and smirked. It seemed her teammate had underestimated her. A quick punch and she was through, ready to reach out and touch him blocking his chakra flow long enough to secure her victory. Her eyes widened at instead of Orochimaru on the other side there was a mass of mud coming at her. She back pedaled only to catch a glimpse of him fazing behind her. She had a split second to make her move and reached back intent on pushing her lightning release into him and seizing muscles.

For a moment, she thought she had won already until her hand pressed through him and he dissolved into a mud clone.

"Shit" Tsunade said hastily and started to pull her hand back, but it was too late. Snakes hidden in the mud grasp her wrists and pulled her arms farther in. Orochimaru fazed behind the clone and pressed his hands to it to use a hardening jutsu to hold her in place as they skidded to a stop.

"Well Princess," he tittered walking around to face her. "I'd say that's about that." He stopped when with a puff of air her clone that he had trapped disappeared and hands came up from underground to grip his calves and seize the muscles.

Tsunade pulled herself the rest of the way up from the floor and gave him a haughty look. "Yes, I would say that's that."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and moved his arms to her sending out a wave of snakes to make distance between them. His legs felt like they were asleep and no matter how he tried to move them, they simply twitched in response. The Sannin wasn't angry, instead it was a sort of awe he felt. She was magnificent and as sharp, no sharper now than she was when they fought together during the war.

"You surprise me." He said his voice light but carrying across the room as she weaved out of the fangs grasp of his snakes. "But it will take that to beat me."

Her eyes were full of mirth even as she dodged the snakes. The blonde let lose a bark of laughter. "I should hope so, we are Sannin after all."

The snakes pulled back. She went through the signs needed to push the lightning release into her hands and leave him completely immobilized so she could win the bet. Tsunade took off and jumped high in the air putting a foot over her head aiming at him, her plan being to catch him as he dodged the earth shattering blow.

Orochimaru saw her tactic and took a gamble of his own. Instead of throwing himself to the side in a dodge, he stilled and smiled inwardly as she scrambled to force her chakra into herself so as not to serious hurt or kill him. His hands formed the seals to make a wind wave jutsu and knock her further off balance.

When she landed hard on her back with the breath knocked out of her, he threw himself over her pressing his upper body against her own and putting a snake poised to bite her neck. "Tsk, tsk Princess. Letting your emotions cloud your mind." The Sannin whispered by her ear. "I thought you were trained better than that." His teeth reached out and gently closed over the lobe as he taunted her.

"Now, what shall I ever do since I won the bet?"

Tsunade had healed and hurt with her hands. She had walked across battle fields and fought battles she knew were a losing bet. She had taken lovers and lost them to death or disinterest, but that still didn't prepare her for the feel of her teammate's bare chest pressed up against her own through the gap made by her kimono. She wanted and when she felt the light nip at her ear and those whispered words she took. Levering up her body she bucked until she could flip their position and ran her hands up the exposed skin, nails raking lightly.

"I think your pinned now, Oro." She said her voice breathy with want. The fight had got her high on battle lust and that had turned into another facet entirely with his antics. She dug her teeth into his shoulder marking him as hers before working her way to his mouth and kissing him deeply. Her tongue seeking his to wrap around that wet muscle.

"I want you." He said pulling away for a moment his eyes looking on hers. "That's my wager. I don't care if it's unfair Princess." Pale hands raked through her hair to pull out the ties and tangle in that blonde mass. "Let me have you."
