Tsunade's POV
"She's stronger than me." She said sipping on a cup of sake.
"How do you know?" Shizune asked.
"I just do..." This time she picked up the sake bottle and chugged. "It took me years just to master the slug jutsu-it only took her one, and her rivalry with Ino won't get her far any more. She's already surpassed Ino- with or without Yamaka techniques."
"I've hardly ever heard you talk so highly of a student."
"Are you jealous."
"Not really."
"Hmpf...besides-you were my only student for such a long time."
"Yes Lady Tsunade."
