Author's note: Not very many KabutoxShizune stories out there, so I wanted to make one! I know there is an age difference, but bear with me! This chapter is based on ep.88-90. Hope you like it!

I watched the three rows of pictures turn before her on the slot machine. Tsunade-Sama was gambling yet again. It was her favorite thing to do, but that didn't mean she was good at it. I watched as the first row landed on a 7, I instantly smile. I watched the other rows still spinning. "seven, seven, seven" I whispered. Tsunade stared at the machine.

The second row landed on a seven. I now stared at the last remaining row. "Seven, seven, seven" I kept whispering. I squeezed the small pig I was holding a bit tighter. Tsunade might actually win this time. The row started slowing down. "Seven…seven" Then the row stopped and landed on a seven.

"Jackpot!" I yelled as the coins spilled out of the slot. "Congratulations, patron!" I heard a man on the loud speaker say. "Number 44, is on fire right now. Now please win more!" The man on the loud speaker yelled.

I smiled this was unusual, but good; Tsunade actually won for once. "Unusual things do happen, Tsunde-sama" I said smiling. Tsunde just kept staring at the row of seven.

After awhile Tsunade had six trays full of coins. She kept wining jackpots. She started to attract a crowd. "That's incredible, lady!" a man said from the crowd. "very impressive" said another. "I want some of her luck" Said another admirer.

Then once again three sevens appeared on the machine. "She got another again" said the crowd. The little pig jumped in my arms. "Hurry! you are hot" I said smiling from behind Tsunade. More coins dumped out from the slot.

We finally left the machine and bought some things at the market. I walked behind Tsunade, with the little pig at my heels. Tsunade's features looked gloomy, which was odd with all the money she won.

I ran a little to catch up with her. "Tsunade-sama, please wait!" I shouted. "What happened? It's like a miracle for you to win this much, Tsunade-sama…" I said as she stopped. "But you look so gloomy" Tsunade turned around and looked at me. "This city…" I gave her a confused look from behind the bag I was carrying.

"I have a bad feeling about this place, we're going to leave" Tsunade said sternly. "What? This place is a tourist resort. let's go look at the castles an enjoy the place…" I looked at her. "then let's go take a look so we can leave quickly" The blonde said as she started walking ahead again.

I was confused on what she was so worried about, this wasn't like Tsunde. "Wait, Tsunade-sama" I said catching up to her once again.

We arrived at the huge castle. I looked up at the structure. "Wow! Tanzaku castle is impressive. I can see why it's classified as a cultural land mark" I said shading my eyes from the sun, so I could see the top of the castle. "Don't be so carefree we're leaving the city" I stopped and looked at her.

Tsunade started walked away, I ran after her. "Tsunade-sama, please take a closer look at it. it's free to look at" I shouted. Then Tsunade stopped, So me and the little pig behind me stopped as well. Tsunade looked worried. "Tsunade-sama?" I asked with a confused look.

Tsunade slowly looked up at the castle. Then we heard a explosion. All of a sudden brown smoke burst of the monument.

I stood next to Tsunade a watched. The sound of falling wood echoed in my ears. As the smoke cleared I felt a chill go through me.

"That's…" I said looking up. A hug snake with two people on top of it's head was in the place of the castle. One of those people had long black hair, which was with no doubt Orochimaru. Next to him was a younger kid with grey hair and glasses.

"Orochimaru!" Tsunade said finishing my sentence. Orochimaru gave a low laugh and looked up reveling his snake like eyes. "I found you" He said looked at Tsunade. I glared at the man. The two jumped off the snakes head in front of us, but a good distance apart. I had a bad feeling about this.

The snake vanished and went off on it's own way. Orochimaru and Tsunade gave each other stern stares. I looked up at Tsunde for an answer.

She was still staring at the two in front of us, against the opposite wall. I then turned and looked over the snake-nin and his accomplice.

We were in a maze like place, trapped. Me and Tsunade stood next to one wall and Orochimaru and the grey-haired boy on the other wall. Not much room to fight each other, but it would have to do.

I scooted my foot back to get in a fighting stance if we were attacked. Ton-ton, the little pig at my heels, attempted to growl at the pair. "It's been over a long time, Orochimaru" Tsunade said in a stern voice.

"I've looked for you everywhere" The snake-ninja said in a rather scratchy voice. "What do you want with me? Don't tell me you want to talk about old times." I kept my gaze on boy with glasses, as Tsunade spoke. Orochimaru didn't look like he would fight, but make some body fight for him.

"Well I have a small request for you" I scanned Orochimaru as he spoke to Tsunade. His arms were bandaged and his face looked like he has a high fever. I bet Tsunade noticed his weakened state already, he must be asking for medical help from Tsunade.

Orochimaru smirked. "Tsunade-sama, you should have already guessed by now…" the boy said. "Ask some one else, I quit medicine a long time ago" Tsunade said in an annoyed tone.

"We can't do that, You should be able to tell how serious the wound is. No one else can cure these arms. The legendary Sanin that won her fame as a medical specialist…Tsunade-hime, only you can cure this." The boy in glasses stated. I looked at Orochimaru his face was sweaty and he was still smirking.

"The wound affecting your arms, isn't a ordinary one is it?" Tsunade asked. I watched as Orochimaru's hand trembled. "What did you do?" Tsunade pestered. "Nothing much…I was wounded when I killed the third" My eyes widened and I gasped.

"You…did you really…" I looked at the man. He actually killed the hokage? That wasn't a easy task, no wonder he was wounded so badly. "You don't need to look that scary, all things with form eventually perish. That goes for people too." Tsunade glared at him.

"You should know what I'm Talking about…" he said in a cold tone. I looked at him, he was trying to make Tsunade-Sama upset. He knows about my Uncle and Tsunade's Brother. How dare he mock us! I looked over at Tsunade. Her jaw was clenched and Closed her eyes.

"Since you let two of you love ones die" Finished orochimaru. Tsunade Opened her eyes and glared up at Orochimaru. I looked down at the ground, they were hitting Tsunade's weak points. A image of my Uncle and Tsunade flashed before my eyes.

I faced Tsunade again, she wasn't looking to good. So I faced the front again. The Boy with grey hair was looking at us. He looked deep in thought at what Orochimaru said. Then Orochimaru gave a low chuckle.

I took a step back jus to be prepared. "Yes…there deaths are gruesome" He said smirking. That's it, he had no reason to talk about them in front of Tsunade-sama! I pulled up the sleeve of my kimono, and pulled back the string of a hidden weapon that shot needles.

I saw the grey haired kid move. I let go of the strings releases very sharp steel needles. The Kid took out a Kunai and blocked each one. He caught one in his hand inches from his face. He watched as the poison, I had coated them with, dripped the ground.

This kid was good, he moved pretty fast. "Poison…a hidden weapon, I see" He whispered. I clenched my teeth. I had to get Orochimaru for torturing Tsunade with those thoughts.

I jumped to the side and ran straight. I dug in my kimono fro a Kunai. I swiftly went back and forth so The kid couldn't get me. "She's fast" he whispered again. You bet I am! "get out of my way!" I shouted as I whipped out a kunai. "I won't let you" he shouted back.

He got out his own hidden Kunai. "Calm down, Shizune" I heard Tsunade say just when I was about to attack. The Kid leaned back, but I already had the Knife to his neck. He had a knife to my side. I breathed in and out as I held the knife. The kid was looking me in the eye, and I glared back.

He was shocked, but the shock quickly disappeared, then his face remained emotionless. I lowered my weapon as he lowered his. I was very close to him at this moment. I looked into his eyes to send a message, don't mess with me. I don't know what I saw in his eyes, but I could interpret it. It just felt different.

this kid was interesting.

I jumped back in front of Tsunade in a defense position, just incase. "Orochimaru…You've been like that since the old days" Tsunade said playfully. I looked at Tsunade, what was she talking about?

The kid was in front of orochimaru in defense mode as well. Behind him the old snake ninja smirked. "You know what my personally is like, right? stop joking around" The medic ninja behind Shizune, smiled cheerfully.

Orochimaru just stood there with a frozen smirk and piercing snake eyes. Tsunade furrowed her eyebrows and punched the wall behind her. I heard the wall crack behind us, then it went crashing down. Brown smoke surround us.

I looked at the kid's face, he was surprised. Surprised that she could knock down and stone wall with one punch. A little smirk went across my face, now that kid knows what he's up against.

I kid just stood in thought. For some odd reason I wanted to know his name. There had to be something special about him if he was with Orochimaru. I stood up straight again.

"We did not come her to fight, we came to negotiate" Said the grey haired boy. "Negotiate?"

"yes"

"Don't make me laugh! I told you before get out of my sight!"

"We can't do that!"

"Get lost"

"only you can cure Orochimaru-sama's arms"

"Get lost"

"where're not asking you to do it for free. We'll make a trade"

"I'm going to count to five get lost before I'm done. Otherwise I'll get rid of you " Tsunade glared.

"Please calm down, this isn't a bad deal for you"

"Five"

"Four"

I saw the kid look at Tsunade's necklace, how could he know anything about that?

The kid signed and Orochimaru looked annoyed.

"three"

"Two"

I got ready to throw more poison steel needles at them. I was going to help Tsunade to get rid of these two, it's a shame I won't ever know the kid's name.

"one"

I shot forward and I saw the kid prepare to block the attack.

"I'll revive you little brother and man…" the snake eyed ninja said.

I stopped, I gasped. The kid stood up straight and smirked.

"With the forbidden technique I developed"

I looked at Tsunade, she was trembling. We all stood frozen on the spot.

"You haven't gotten rid of us yet, which means…you thinking it over?" orochimaru asked smirking.

Tsunade averted her gaze to the ground.

"You don't want to see those two again, Tsunade?" He said in a playful voice.

"What will you do if I cured your arms?"

"I don't like to lie…so I'll tell you honestly. I'll take what I want and I'm going to crush Kohona for sure"

I glared. "Crush kohona?" I said. The old man just smirked. Kohona was their home village, and he was going to destroy it? What if Tsunade agrees! I quickly turned my head to Tsunade. She was looking at the ground thinking it over.

"What is your answer?"

Tsunade just closed her eyes, she must be thinking about Dan and her little brother. She couldn't betray her own village for them. I couldn't let her do it! Dan loved that village for sure and Tsunade was going to ruin it all to get them back!

"Tsunade-Sama, you mustn't trust them! my uncle and your brother so not wish for that! Their wish, more importantly your wish…Did you forget them?" I shouted. It did look like it was working.

I could feel how terrible it must be to be her right now. Having her lose the most important people in her live, and a chance to get them back.

My voice and eyes soften.

"I know how you feel. You like this now, but your still…" I said looking at the ground.

I heard no answer. I looked up, she was thinking. She had to listen to me! I won't let her do this!

"Please wake up!" I shouted at her shaking my hands in the air.

"Be quiet, Shizune!" she shouted back

My eyes widened, she wasn't actually going to do this!

The kid said to give them a answer within a week, and bring two sacrifices for the technique to bring back her brother and my Uncle.

The orochimaru bit his finger and watched the blood drip. Tsunade's eyes widened.

I gasped. That was Tsunade's biggest fear Blood. The kid looked confused, but Orochimaru explained her fear. Tsunade was holding her necklace and trembling.

Then Orochimaru let a drop of blood fall again. "Let's get going now, Kabuto"

I hide a small smirk. So That's what his name was Kabuto. He must be Orochimaru's attendant. I looked at Tsunade, she was a mess.

So that was first time I met Kabuto. Not a very good start you know. Well after that we meet up with Jiraya and his apprentice, Naruto. Naruto had a big impact on Tsunade. I told him all about the necklace that him and Tsunade were betting on.

Well Tsunade didn't heal Orochimaru, and She became Hokage. I had to become stricter with her, she kept trying to get out of paper work.

Well Tsunade is getting sneaker with escaping all the work. She keeps trying to give me vacations so she can sneak out. Well this time I felt really over worked and tired and just wanted to get out. So one day I put a hug Pile Of Paper work on Tsunade's desk.

"Shizune, I hate paperwork" I giggled. "Shizune, you looked over worked, how about you take a day off. You look like you need it" Tsunade might be telling the truth this time.

"that's seems like a great Idea, may I please take the day off?" I asked. Tsunade looked confused at first, but then a big grin spread across her face. "Yes! you should" Then She pushed me out the door.

I shrugged my shoulders and walked out the building. I smiled at the nice breeze and sunshine. So what should I do today? Maybe I can collect some medical herbs for the hospital. So walked to the forest, I said cheerful hellos to some people I knew on the way.

It was nice not having a little pig at your heels for once.

I walked in the forest and look for a nice clearing to find some herbs that haven't been stepped on.

So I walked through the place with a little basket. I could hear the birds chirping, they sounded nice. I started hum, which I don't do often. It just seemed the time to.

I saw a break among the trees and knew the was a clearing up ahead. So I stepped through some branches toward the clearing. I pushed back some branches and gasped at what I saw.

In the middle of the clearing was a bloody man sprawled out in the grass. Blood was everywhere and the figure looked like it was barley bleeding. I stepped into the clearing and dropped my basket

I quickly ran up to the man. I looked him over to see his injuries.
