Konoha Festival Ch. 1
How It Started
It was late afternoon and Tsunade was taking a break from all the paperwork she was doing. She never liked doing paperwork. She often begged Shizune to give her a break. Usually Shizune will insist that they continue their work, but today Shizune agreed on taking a break.
Tsunade sure missed the good old days when she can gamble as long as she wanted. Day and night, without having to worry about anything. Well, except for the people who are chasing her, asking her to pay back the money she owes them. Still, she'd rather run from her debts than having to do paperwork all day long.
"Why can't there be a day when everyone gets to do nothing and just have fun?" she said to no one in particular. Shizune was out getting her sake.
"A day when people can relax, have fun, play games, enjoy the company of their friends, families and loved ones." She continued.
She sighed. "Why can't anybody, with power, make a day like that?"
A few seconds later…
"Oh wait! I can make that day. I'm Hokage for heaven's sake. Why didn't I think of this earlier? I have to get to work if I want to make this happen." Tsunade exclaimed.
"Tsunade-sama, I brought you some sake." Shizune said. "We better make this break short. The coun…" She was interrupted by Tsunade saying, "Shizune, put the sake away. We have no time for breaks. We have a lot of paperwork to do." she said as she restarted doing the paperwork.
Shizune was shocked. 'Tsunade usually never cared about the paperwork. I wonder what happened while I was gone.' she thought
"Shizune what are you doing just standing around there? We have work to do." Tsunade said interrupting her thoughts.
"Coming, Tsunade-sama."
"Oh and before I forget, could you schedule a meeting with the councilors."
"Do you mind if I ask why?"
"Oh nothing, just a little something I'm working on."
Shizune raised her eyebrows as Tsunade giggled in her seat. 'What on earth happened while I was gone?'
