Okay, so I was bored (obviously) and decided to start another fic. To all the people who read my other fic, no, this isn't the sequel to When Kakashi's Bored. This will be distinctly less crackfilled.
Summary: So basically, Tsunade's bored and alone in her office with a bottle of sake and files on her favorite Chuunin and a thought about how she hasn't bet or gambled in a while…And that proves not to be a very good combination as the gang soon finds out. And now they have to live together. They thought it'd be disastrous but…what's this? Friendship? Love?
Pairings: Shikaino, Nejiten, Sasusaku, Naruhina, Gaasuri, Kibatema, (And maybe an OC pairing involving houji, Shino, Lee, or Kankuro) Oh yeah and mild Kakaanko and mild mild mild Asukure, and Genshi (Genma x Shizune)
And with that, let's begin! Disclaimer: I am not a Japanese man named Masashi Kishimoto. I am a teen in America that, when bored, sometimes turns to fanfiction. R&R.
When Tsunade's Bored Prologue
It was a wonderful afternoon. The birds were chirping, it wasn't too hot and there was a nice breeze going through every now and then. Yes, it was simply beautiful. But enough about that! Because no one cares. Outside it was nice but inside- inside Tsunade's office to be more specific- was far worse.
"WHAT?!" 12 voices could be heard.
Tsunade didn't say anything. She didn't feel the need to since this was the seventh time they had exclaimed this. She just surveyed the whole room. Kiba was lying on the floor next to Chouji and Akamaru. She wrinkled her nose at the sight. Really, they had only been there for three hours! No reason to be laying on her floor. Shikamaru had just fallen asleep though she doubted Ino wouldn't take care of that. Neji and Tenten were on one couch next to each other, sitting quite close. Hm, this was one of the reasons why she was doing this in the first place. Tsunade grinned but it was immediately wiped off her face as one color blind shinobi stuck his face in hers and proceeded to yell.
"ARE YOU SMOKING CRACK BAA-CHAN!? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT?!" Tsunade glared but Naruto paid no heed. "I MEAN, US?! TOGETHER IN-"
"NARUTO! SHUT THE HELL UP! STOP YOUR YELLING! IT'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE!" Insert group sweatdrop. Sakura turned to Tsunade. "Tsunade-shishou, what Naruto meant was how could we possibly-oh eff it- HOW MANY BOTTLES OF SAKE HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING TO GET THIS CRAZY IDEA?!"
"Actually…one. Is there a problem, Sakura-chan?" Tsunade placed her chin on her folded hands and stared at Sakura. Sakura took a step back, "Um…no, n-nevermind."
"Oh," Tsunade said. "Well, in that case-"
"NO! NOT NEVERMIND! WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS ALL ABOUT?!" Ino shouted as she stood up from her spot and pointed at Tsunade. Her face was turning red from anger and Tsunade smiled slightly. Ino was so very lucky that she was one of Tsunade's favorites. Tsunade couldn't help but like her. She had a temper just like her. "NARUTO'S RIGHT! HAVE YOU BEEN SMOKING SOMETHING!? I DEMAND-"
"INO!" Shikamaru put a hand over her mouth as he wrapped an arm around her waist and attempted to bring her back to her seat. "Troublesome," he muttered and turned to look at their Hokage. "Heh heh…don't mind her. I think it's that time of the month."
"IT IS NOT THAT TIME OF THE MONTH SHIKA AND YOU KNOW IT!" Ino got her mouth out of his grasp. She turned back to Tsunade. "SERIOUSLY…WHAT COULD'VE POSSIBLY POSSESSED YOU TO EVEN DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS?!"
"…" Tsunade stayed quiet and looked around the room and saw that everyone was staring at her intently, waiting for an answer. Even Shikamaru was looking at her, his grip on Ino's waist slack. She sighed and held back a grin as she saw Shikamaru and Ino's positions. "Look, it's not a punishment. I just think you guys could use an experience like this to strengthen your relationship with each other."
"B-but…um, if I may," Hinata said and Tsunade's eyes softened. No one could ever stay mad with Hinata involved. She continued, "We do get along. I mean, maybe we do fight but everyone does sometimes and we're all friends. We have a strong relationship and-"
"YEAH!" Naruto yelled and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere was destroyed immediately. "Hinata's right! We don't have to do this! And what do you mean by "We could use this experience"?! We don't need this crap! So why-"
"Because!" Tsunade yelled, slamming her hands on the table. A crack was heard and a moment later, the table split. "You're not like normal ninjas, okay?! You guys went through stuff that normal people don't go through. And I don't think I need to remind you of all people, Naruto! Now I don't expect you all to agree with me but you don't have a choice. I think you could use this."
"…" Everyone stared at her and Naruto just pouted.
Tsunade sighed again. "Fine. If you don't want to do it, I'll test you and if you give me what I'm looking for, you don't have to do it. Now Hinata: Tell me what you think of Naruto."
Hinata blushed. "U-um…h-he's nice, a-and determined and sticks up for his friends. H-he's the k-kind of p-person someone would hook up with."
"What!?" everyone did a double take.
"Sh-should look up to..." she stuttered. They all relaxed. Naruto stared at her in wonder as the others just looked at Tsunade expectantly. She sighed, "Sasuke, what do you think of…Neji?"
"Well, he is a nice person in my opinion and easy to get along with. We train sometimes and he's very determined."
"Fine you pass! You don't have to do it," Tsunade said.
"Yes!" Ino, Naruto, Kiba, Tenten and Sakura shouted. Ha fools. Did they really think she was going to fall for that? If so, they were all just plain stupid. The Uchiha would never talk that much and especially about the Hyuuga. Yes, they were all terribly stupid if they thought she would fall for that. What the hell did they think of their Hokage?! That she was just some drunk who liked to gamble?! Well, ahem, that was true but that's not the point! She was not born yesterday, goddamnit! She'd show them!
"Yes, whatever!" Tsunade said. "Now let's play a game. It's a fun game and me and Shizune play all the time. Kiba and Ino, you have to act like each other. Everyone else, don't say one word or else you won't have any missions higher than c-rank…or in some cases, lower than c-rank," she added after Shikamaru smiled widely. Sakura, Shikamaru, Neji, and Sasuke knew exactly what Tsunade had planned but couldn't say anything. Damnit!
"Me…I have to act like her!?" Kiba pointed at Ino who glared at him in response. "Piece of cake…Hm…let's see. Oh, I know!"
Kiba stood up and ran over to Sasuke, grabbing on to his arm. "Like, oh em gee, Sasuke-kun, I LOVE you SO much! Forget about Forehead over there. Why don't we have some fun?!" Kiba said in a high-pitched voice as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and pretended to flip his hair. He then added a giggle for good measure. Ino's face turned red as Kiba busted out laughing. "I only hope I did it some justice," he choked out.
"Your turn," Tsunade said, turning to Ino. Ino put on a fake smile, "My pleasure."
Ino then jumped up from her spot, pointing at Naruto, "Akamaru! Let's show this loser how the dogs do it! Awooooo!" Ino howled. She then proceeded to run in a circle on all fours and stuck her tongue out in a sloppy grin. "Oh look at that girl. She's hot! No Akamaru, I was talking about the dog! Oh, look Akamaru. It's dirt! I'm gonna go roll in it so I smell just like you!" Ino said as she began rolling around on the floor, making barking noises. She then stood up and smiled sweetly at the glaring Kiba, "Now I don't know about you, but I feel much, much better."
Tsunade looked back and forth between the two and rolled her eyes, "You fail! You all have to stay in a house together."
Ino and Kiba's eyes widened as they looked at Tsunade. "W-what?!"
Everyone groaned. Tsunade shook her head, "Look guys, it'll strengthen you all in ways you never even thought of and Kiba and Ino prove it. They don't know anything about each other but they just assume they know the other one."
"Yeah! Kiba, you idiot! I don't act anything like that," Ino finished, sounding slightly hurt.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Kiba sneered. "I probably should've glomped Sasuke-kun right? Maybe added a few more fangirl squeals?"
Shikamaru glared at Kiba but Ino just pushed him back, "It's okay Shika. For your information, Kiba, that was all an act!"
"Yeah…right," Kiba scoffed. Ino glared but didn't say anything even though she knew they all wanted to know. She turned away and propped her cheek on her palm as she stared at the wall. "…"
"Um…I-Ino-san?" Hinata spoke up.
"Ino-chan," Ino automatically corrected.
"H-hai…Ino-chan…w-what'd you mean it was an act…if you don't mind me asking?" Hinata said. Sakura nodded enthusiastically.
"…Well…do you really want to know?" Ino asked. Everyone nodded. "Fine…well, when Sakura had broken our friendship, it was because she thought I liked Sasuke but I didn't. Some girl must've overheard me talking to someone and told Sakura but she had misheard. The girl I was talking to was saying that Sasuke was mean and she didn't like him because of it and I said that he just seems sad and that I do like him. The other girl must've thought I meant I liked Sasuke not liked him and-"
"Wait," Naruto interrupted. "What do you mean? Liked and liked is the same thing."
"No. I didn't like him…I just liked him," Ino looked at the boy. Naruto just looked even more confused and scratched his head. Ino rolled her eyes and ignored him. "Anyway, the girl told Sakura and Sakura broke our friendship and that's what happened."
"…" they all stared at her. Sakura spoke, "But why'd you act the way you did around Sasuke?"
Ino stared at Sakura for a second but no one else noticed. Where did the –kun go?
"Well…because, like I said it was an act, okay? So that's it!" Ino turned away, staring at the wall again. Everyone stared at her and Shikamaru tugged her ponytail. She looked over and glared at him. He looked at her sternly as he mouthed Get over your pride. She pouted and then shook her head, only enough for him to notice as she stuck her nose in the air, which was her way of saying a silent indignant NO!
The silence persisted and Ino finally turned back around to find people still staring at her. She sighed, "Fine! It was because…she was my best friend! Even if she did what she did, I still cared for her as if she was my sister. Okay?! God, that's sounds so corny and cliché like it's a line out of some corny teen drama or some fanfic by a 13-year-old!"
Hmpf, shows her. I'm at least 16.
Everyone laughed slightly but it turned to silence as they stared at her again. "Go on," Naruto said. She rolled her eyes, "Fine…I cared about her and I knew she'd be hurt without me and-God, do you know how sappy I feel right now!?- Ugh! I didn't want her to be picked on so I made her fight over Sasuke. I made her confident. Every time I teased her, she got annoyed and blew up and yelled at me and then it would turn into a big, loud argument. Without me, girls would've teased her about her big forehead and how she'd never be with Sasuke. Without me, she would've been stepped all over. The other fangirls were already kind of scared of me cause I was loud from the start but then everyone started to think of Sakura as the only one who could actually hold their own with me, the "number one fangirl". And because of that, they backed off. After all the fighting they thought us two had the best chance of getting with Sasuke so they kind of backed off of Sasuke too. It was my way of helping them both…as friends. The End. Okay? Happy now? Good because I'm feeling ever so great," she finished sarcastically, despite the slight blush on her face.
Shikamaru tugged her ponytail again with a grin on his face, "It's about time…pi-
"Don't say it!" Ino said sharply. "Especially in front of her!"
"What?! You mean you knew?!" Naruto accused Shikamaru, not even registering the weird conversation between the two.
"No," Shikamaru said, voice dripping with sarcasm. He looked up at the ceiling and then groaned as he remembered that clouds wouldn't be there.
"Wait…but-"
"It was sarcasm! Baka!" Neji yelled. Tenten giggled.
"…" Tsunade glared at them all. What the hell is wrong with them? Since when did this become story hour?! I'm their Hokage damnit! Did they just forget about the whole mission!? Of course…on the plus side, now everyone knew why Ino did that and now I respect her a lot more…and the anger about the fact that they're gonna be living together isn't as bad…and I got some entertainment! Well…this wasn't so bad after all. What was I mad about? …Oh yeah! I got a hangover and I had to deal with their loudness…and I broke my favorite desk…Damn them! How the hell did all this crap start anyway…oh yeah…
Flashback: Yesterday (9:00pm)
"I am so bored," Tsunade was in her office, laying her head on her desk. "Shizune, why am I here again?" she whined. Shizune glared at the lazy Sannin, "You promised the elders you'd stay here and finish the paperwork you have to fill out and the missions you have to give tomorrow."
"Hai hai, I know that. I mean, why am I here?" Tsunade said.
"Oh!" Shizune smiled sweetly. "Because after you promised to do the work," Shizune glared again, "you completely forgot because of some children's play thing you found in the closet and you, being the irresponsible person you were, decided to play with it the WHOLE day-"
"Hey!" Tsunade exclaimed indignantly. "Uno cards and Slinkies are VERY fun! It's completely understandable. Have YOU ever played with a slinky?! Huh?! No! So don't get on ME just cause I decided to summon my slug and…have a slinky slug party with uno cards."
"…" Shizune just stared at her Hokage and then shook her head. "I didn't need to know that. I'm taking Tonton for a walk. When I come back, you better be done at least one third of the work!" Shizune walked to the door, ignoring the shouts of Tsunade, "One third?! What?! Shizune, that's completely unfa-"
Shizune closed the door, picking up Tonton. She then turned down a hallway, "How did she have a party with that massive slug and a slinky anyw- you know what? I don't want to know."
"Man," Tsunade grumbled back in her office. "She's so mean and stern sometimes. And there's nothing to do. Eff this crap. If she thinks I'm doing this, she's crazy. And aren't the mission assignments supposed to go to the ninja who got stuck with that job of assigning them?! Why the hell are they on MY desk! Oh well…I'll just slip them in his desk. He'll get in trouble for forgetting to do them and I'll have to deal with him and, of course, I'll let him off easy. His punishment will be to…do my paperwork! Hehehe! Genius! And that takes care of all my work for tonight. Tsunade, how do you do it?" Tsunade reclined in her chair, propping her feet on the desk. A second later, though, she fell off the chair. She rubbed the back of her head as she got up, "That never happened before. It's a sign that I shouldn't be sitting down. Hm…I'll just slip those mission assignments in that guy's desk now."
She came back and sat down in the chair. "Hm…" she spun around in her chair "Ooh this is sooo fun! Now I know why Sakura was doing it that one time I caught her. Yes, very fun indeed. But I'm still bored. Hm…I wonder…oh, I just remembered I never drank that sake I had! Hm…is the coast clear?" Tsunade sat back up, listening for a second. She got down on the floor and moved her chair out the way, "Hm…which one was it?" She tapped the floorboards and found the hollow one she was looking for, "Yes!" She tore it up and grabbed the sake bottle, and grabbed a stick of dango while she was at it. She had to remember to thank Anko for finding out a way to preserve that stuff! That trick came in handy! She replaced the floorboard and sat back up.
"Hm…now I have my sake, some food…Hm…now I just need some entertainment!" she dug in her drawers, looking for something. "Ah, here it is. The old files of all of Konoha 12," She said, beginning to drink out of the bottle. "They were so cute back then! Except for that Sasuke boy. With his little cockatoo head! Honestly, what did girls see in him!? Neji, Kiba, and Shika should've gotten the fangirls. They were all so cute. And maybe Naruto but he was just a little too loud. Speaking of all of them, they just brought cockatoo boy back a little while ago; you'd think everyone would be together but Konoha 12 seems even more split up. And Sakura always seems so sad lately. Unless she's with Naruto and Ino. And everyone's acting weird around each other. And on a completely different topic, I haven't bet in a while. Oh. My. GOD! I just got the greatest idea! EVER! We'll put Konoha 12 in two houses and they'll have to live together. And then I'll start a betting pool on who will get together first. Ooh, and we'll somehow think of a way to get the Sand Siblings in it too! This'll be great! There's no way that I won't win at least one bet! Kukuku! Of course, the senseis will have to be notified and-"
"Tsunade-sama?" Shizune was back. "What was all that cackling about I heard a little while ago…is Orochimaru's evil spawn in here?!"
Tsunade sweatdropped. "Orochimaru is dead…he never had spawn. I was just…coughing…yeah."
"Is there something wrong?" Shizune said. "You sort of sounded like Deidara for a second."
"Um…yea-es! Yes, I'm fine!" Tsunade said. "But listen, I got an idea," she proceeded to whisper in Shizune's ear…rewording a few things of course.
"Oh! That's excellent. It seems like fun. And a good experience," Shizune said.
"Yeah I know!" Tsunade exclaimed. Like I even care if they learn from this. I just want them to get together…and get some money…and entertainment!
"Hey…wait a minute…are you drunk?" Shizune asked, recognizing the grin that was spreading on Tsunade's face.
"NOooOoo," Tsunade said innocently. "Where would I even get sake from? Anyways-"
"And are you done your work?" Shizune continued her interrogation. There was something very odd about all this. "Or at least…one third?"
"Oh…yeah. I filled in some stuff and briefly read everything. That way, I'll just fill in the answers later," Tsunade said, waving a hand.
"Hm…something is veerrry suspicious about you," Shizune put a finger to her lip.
Tsunade didn't miss a beat, "Hey! You were gone longer than you thought, okay?! Just cause you don't think I know you're with Genma doesn't mean that you didn't take a long time."
Shizune flushed, "T-that's not true! You know- I mean, I wasn't- G-Genma, he- an-and then- …we met coincidentally!" Tsunade smirked, "Heh…I never said I saw you together. I was just teasing. So…what's this about meeting coincidentally?" Shizune sighed and smacked her forehead. How the hell could I have fallen for that? She thought. She looked up at Tsunade, "Well…yes we're going out but I didn't want everyone to know cause…well you know how Konoha gossips. Think about how many weeks they'll be talking about how the shy, responsible Shizune got with rebellious, sexy Genma. And don't give me that look. A lot of people call him sexy and dangerous. I'm not the first."
Tsunade's smirk widened. "Well I won't tell. Hold on a sec while I call Jiraiya and Anko about our plan for Konoha 12," Tsunade picked up the phone and dialed Anko first. "Hello? Yeah, it's me. So, I got this plan to get our favorite Chuunin together…yeah, I know…oh and the Sand sibs, can't forget about them…yeah…of course! What kind of person would I be if I didn't have a betting pool?!…So, you in? Alright. By- oh and before I forget: Shizune's going out with Genma. I know! Alright, bye!"
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune exclaimed. Tsunade held up two crossed fingers, not even looking up as she called Jiraiya. Shizune glared, "You're an adult for God's sake! You're not supposed to cross your fingers! That's for little kids. You don't see the Mizukage crossing his fingers when you're agreeing for an alliance!"
"Uh-huh! Yeah, I know. Yeah. Ja!" Tsunade hung up the phone. "Did you say something, Shizune?"
"…" Shizune huffed. "I'm going for a walk."
"A real one this time?" Tsunade said slyly.
Slam!
"That's a no," Tsunade said.
"Damn right, it's a no!" Shizune's voice filtered into the room. Tsunade smirked.
End Flashback
"…" Everyone stared at Tsunade. She glared, "What?"
"Baa-chan…" Naruto said. "You were laughing…for no reason." Ino cut in, "Wow…Well, now we know Naruto was right about that crack theory."
"Ha ha, very funny," Tsunade said. "I was just remembering something. Anyway, tomorrow, meet me at my office with the stuff you want to bring and then I'll take you to your new home, okay?"
"Okay! Sure!" Ino said enthusiastically. She glared, "No… Not really."
Tsunade sighed. "Look, we already established this. You. Don't. Have. A choice."
"…" Ino pouted slightly as the rest just sighed. "Hey," Shikamaru said, suddenly struck with inspiration. Everyone looked at him hopefully while Tsunade scowled. "Don't you have to get permission from our parents and our senseis and all that?"
Tsunade glared, Damn you, you little smart-ass! You are SO lucky you're one of my favorites. Actually…they all are in their own little way…except cockatoo and Shino…he's just creepy. She cleared her throat, "You know what…you're right. I'll just have to-"
"So," Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, and Gai walked in, "What'd you want?" Tsunade grinned, "We were just-" "Wait a minute! Kakashi-sensei, are you on time for once?!" Naruto exclaimed. "No…we're all late," Asuma scratched the back of his head.
"So…like I was saying: you need permission," Shikamaru said again.
Tsunade rolled her eyes, "Fine." She looked at the four senseis in front of her, "So…I thought of the best idea ever! Your teams should all live together! And then they might get along better…if you know what I mean. Their relationships will be deeper and they'll be able to relate to one another better. So…do you think it's a good idea?"
"Hm…" Kakashi said, scratching his head as he looked around. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were glaring at him. Sasuke activated his sharingan. Kakashi laughed nervously, "Well…do you guys want to do it?"
"NO!" Sakura and Naruto shouted immediately. "Hn," Sasuke agreed.
"What about you guys?" Kurenai looked at her students. They all shook their heads. "And you?" Asuma looked at his three. "Too troublesome," Shikamaru muttered. "DAMN RIGHT, IT'S TOO TROUBLESOME!" Ino added. "(Munch)…no…(munch)," Chouji said.
"No," Tenten said before Gai had a chance to speak.
"No."
"Yes! I think it'll be so youthful! We will all be filled with the youthful power of the majestic Lufh Tuoy!" Lee said. Everyone sweatdropped. Tenten hit him on the head, "You fricking idiot! You just said youthful backwards! The majestic Luth or whatever the hell you said isn't real!"
"Well," Kakashi grinned. "I guess we have no choice."
"You have our permission," the senseis said. Everyone immediately died. Sakura, Naruto, and Ino launched into a rant filled with curses with Lee trying to stop them, saying "youthful" many, many times. Neji and Sasuke sulked, "Hn." Tenten sharpened some kunai. She was going directly to the training field after this lest she want to harm some defenseless, little children. Hinata blushed…for some reason. Kiba rolled around with Akamaru until he saw Ino's triumphant smirk and abruptly stood up. Shino discreetly told some of his bugs to go pour some laxatives into Tsunade's sake. Why he had laxatives in the first place…I don't know. Why he conveniently forgot the fact that Tsunade could heal herself…I don't know that either but he did. Chouji began what people call stress eating. And lastly, Shikamaru went back to sleep…though Ino woke him up a second later.
Tsunade grinned and then turned back to the kids, "Now we don't need your parents' permission. I don't want to hear anything else."
Everyone grumbled. Naruto jumped up, "Come on baa-chan! This is stupid! You know there's no real reason for doing this! You probably just want to bet on something or whatever!" he accused, pointing at her as his eyes narrowed. She grinned, he knows me too well.
"Yes there is a reason!" Tsunade half-lied. "And anyway, it'll be good for the people who-"
"For the people who what?!" Naruto demanded.
"The people who don't have a family," she finished and it became tense as everyone grew silent and glanced around. Naruto glared at the floor, not looking at anyone. Sasuke glared at anyone who dared to look at him. Lee actually seemed saddened and stopped smiling. Tenten just looked at the ground. Neji put a hand on her shoulder and she looked at him slightly. His lips twitched upwards slightly as he looked at her in a way he meant to be nice and understanding, as he seemed to say, I know how you feel. But she just smiled sadly and nodded towards Hinata. He shook his head, it's not the same.
"And now that you truly understand a few reasons why I'm doing this, are there any more arguments?"
Nobody said anything. They'd been here six hours now and they were too tired to even argue at that point. Ino and Sakura propped each other up on a couch, back to back and dozed off while Shikamaru took up the rest of it, muttering, "Ino's a hypocrite" and "that troublesome girl shouldn't ever wake me up again after she just fell asleep herself." Naruto and Kiba sat on the floor playing patty cake, thinking that no one saw or heard them when in reality, no one felt like pointing it out. Tenten rolled her eyes at her fate and leaned her head on Neji's shoulder, not bothering to ask if she could or not. He let her. The senseis saw this and grinned slightly but no one saw. Hinata, who sat on the other side of Neji, absentmindedly started braiding her hair. Shino and Sasuke were living sticks, standing against the wall and Chouji was continuing his stress eating.
Shikamaru sat up, yawned and placed his head in Ino's lap, not caring in the least if she complained or not. He looked at Tsunade, thinking of something again, "Well…since we can learn from this and since the senseis think it's such a great idea, why don't you put them in a house too?"
"Shikamaru," Asuma laughed. "We're adults. Tsunade-sama wouldn't do…" Asuma trailed off and looked at Tsunade in horror as she actually considered this! She grinned and nodded at Shikamaru, "You really are a genius! I'll do that too! And we'll add Anko, Genma, Shizune, and Iruka, just for the heck of it!"
"WTF?!" Asuma's face seemed to say. O.o
"This is not youthful!" Gai said.
"Yeah…I am not living with these bastards," Kurenai said. "It's one thing to talk to them at meetings but to actually wake up to them every day…ugh!"
They all looked to Kakashi to add his input and Kurenai rolled her eyes and took the book from him, smacking his head with it. "Huh, wha? I mean, I agree! Yeah…whatever…"
"Well that's too bad!" Tsunade said. "You heard all I had to say and like Shikamaru said, you said it was a good idea so now you're in it too. You're all dismissed!"
There were many grumblings indeed as everyone filed out of the office. Ino, who was the last out, slammed the door. Shikamaru came back, whispered "that time of the month" And closed the door softly and then Ino came back, opened it, screamed "IS NOT!" and slammed it again.
"Ah…another day in the life of the beautiful majestic Tsunade, the Gondaime of Konoha!" Tsunade said. "God, I have a huge hangover. And only one bottle too. Oh shit, I just remembered! That was the bottle that had two bottles' worth of alcohol in it! No wonder this motherfucker won't go away!"
She fell asleep and an hour later, she woke up to the sound of the door opening. Shizune came in, "Just wanted to know how they took it."
"Oh," Tsunade smiled. "They took it…well."
"Oh that's good," Shizune said. Tonton wandered over to Tsunade who picked her up and scratched her ears. Genma came in, putting his arm around Shizune's shoulders and she blushed slightly as Tsunade smirked. "So," Genma started, smirking as he rolled the senbon expertly in his mouth. "I heard you figured out that we were going out. How many people did you tell?"
"Only two: Anko and Jiraiya," Tsunade said, shrugging. "But that's like telling the whole village…unless Jiraiya was drunk and Anko decided to just tease you two and keep it a secret, holding it over your heads every time she wanted you to do something."
"Great…blackmail," Genma said sarcastically. He then grinned, "Oh well, seems risky. I like it." "See?" Shizune said, looking at the both of them. "He likes danger where as I am responsible and cautious! We don't match! Everyone will be talking for weeks about us."
"Eh…just means you'll keep him in line," Tsunade looked out the window. "Hey…what time is it?"
"Um…around 5. Why?" Shizune asked. Tsunade shook her head. She had only slept an hour, "I'm going home."
"Tsunade-sama, it's only-"
"Tsunade-sama!" Kotetsu stood in the doorway, holding some poor, young Jounin up by the collar behind him. "This baka forgot to do some of the mission assignments. Do we have permis-"
"Come in," Tsunade said. "Okay…now what's the problem?" Tsunade said, biting her lip to keep herself from laughing as she looked at them. Kotetsu sighed, "He forgot to fill out the mission assignments. Now Konoha will be backed up. There are 5 teams who don't have missions and they are still here for debriefing. What should we do with him?"
"Tsunade-sama, I swear I didn't see them! I thought I did-" The Jounin started but Kotetsu smacked him, "Quiet! It's up to Tsunade-sama!"
Tsunade cleared her throat and tried to look as professional as she could. Shizune was looking at her suspiciously when she bit her lip. "Number 1- what's your name?"
"K-Kio, Tsunade-sama," the boy stuttered. "Yes," she said. "Kio. Well, I'll go easy on you today. Just hurry and finish the mission reports before 6."
"Oh thank you, Tsunade-sama!" he said bowing. "Thank y-"
"Hold on!" she said, holding up a hand to silence him. His eyes widened in fear. "In addition…you must…finish my paperwork!"
"…" Shizune's eyes narrowed and Tsunade laughed nervously, ducking behind her desk as if she didn't see the look on her apprentice's face. She looked in her drawer and gave the boy a folder filled with paper.
"No need to thank me!" Tsunade said as the boy opened his mouth. He bowed and scurried away, making sure to avoid eye contact with Kotetsu who left too. Tsunade hurried out, ignoring the look Shizune gave her.
"Tsunade-sam-"
"I'm tired Shizune! Talk to me tomorrow!" Tsunade pretended to be busy with the keys as she locked the door after Genma and Shizune came out. She all but ran down the hallway with Shizune following, looking angry and Genma pulling up the rear, looking amused. Shizune hurried in front of Tsunade, "You know that I-"
"You're going out with Genma, I know," Tsunade said, earning a blush from Shizune again. "Here!" She shoved some money in Shizune's hand. "I assume you're going out tonight right? It's on me. I feel sort of guilty for telling Anko so feel free to use that! Ja ne!" And then with a burst of chakra, Tsunade was gone and out of the door, leaving Shizune standing there in the dust with her mouth open. Genma quietly came up from behind, closing her mouth gently as he stood next to her, "So?"
"What?" She asked. He grinned, "How much did she give you!?" "Hm…" Shizune, still in shock, absentmindedly counted the money. "(insert number that equals 50 dollars) yen."
"Oh shit!" Genma grabbed Shizune's hand and ran out the door. "We're eating out tonight!"
I'm so sorry! I know, that was such a weird place to end it but I had nowhere else to so I just did. I'm sure you've seen weirder endings though, right? I know I have. So leave a review please! Before I have to send Deidara, Sasori, Fishstick and Itachi after you. Next chapter is where the Naruto crew sees their new house and the Sand sibs come in! Oh and about yen: If anyone knows how it relates to U.S money, could you tell me? I really don't know anything about it. Okay thanks. Next chapter coming soon.
