Takes place about ten years after Jiraiya's death when I know Tsunade will leave the village to do battle with the bad guys (too many to name!). This part is her will addressed to those dumb elders. Enjoy! :)


Konoha elders,

This is the last will and testament of Tsunade, Godaime Hokage of Konohagakure. Follow all direction here-in without fail. Measures have been taken to ensure my requests are complied with.

Here are the new laws and instructions to be put into action following my death:

1. Pay off all of my debts.

2. Open up a gambling parlor in my name in the village.

3. I ask that no one wear black for my funeral. I do not want my village to remember me with sadness.

4. I hereby declare that Naruto Uzumaki shall take the position of Rokudaime Hokage on the event of my death.

5. The Rokudaime will be treated with the respect every Hokage deserves. Every decision he makes will be honored. All positions he promotes or demotes will be honored. He is the Hokage and you will listen to and respect his wishes.

6. You will give 2 letters I have written to the Rokudaime upon my death. They are marked 1 & 2. Give them to him in the correct order.

7. Do not allow the Rokudaime to leave the village in search for vengeance upon my death. At least, not for a year. If he needs to go out of the village for Hokage duties, he is allowed to and is to remain the Hokage in spite of absences.

8. Every other action I've passed is to remain a law.

9. Finally, this last law applies to everyone in the village: Treat every member of the village, no matter how small or different they are with respect and honor. Non-compliance with my laws or the Rokudaime's will result in exile.

10. My will and testament is to be framed in the village where everyone can read it. It is to never to be removed.

I, Tsunade Godaime Hokage, have written every one of these laws and sealed with my seal to make each word I've written legal and binding. Failure to comply will result in exile or death, whichever the Rokudaime chooses.

Tsunade, Godaime Hokage


There...my will is complete and now no one can ever treat anyone, especially Naruto, without respect any longer. It's really about time a law like that is passed...

Tsunade sat in her office staring at her will. All ten laws written down that no one could ever disobey. And it hadn't even taken that long to think of them...

They may think paying off all my debts would be too much, but hey, I know we're not a poor village, we've got enough. And now they'll finally have a gambling parlor and if I were still alive, I wouldn't have to go out of the village to look for one! Really, I don't get much time off and trying to search for one? Please!

Why would I want my villagers to be sad at my funeral? They should all wear my favorite color, green. And remember all the good times we've had...like...that time I pushed/punched Jiraiya out of the window! So funny...but he deserved it, the stupid peeping tom...still...Jiraiya...what would you have done in my place? Would you support my decision?

Naruto has worked so hard to become Hokage...It's his dream that's about to become a reality...the only ones opposed to it are probably those two old geezers. Well, law 9 will take care of that! And law 10 will make sure of it!!

And I really hope that Naruto's grown up enough to not want to go avenge my death...I know what I've got to do...hope he realizes that...that's why he's got to read the letters first...

These were Tsunade's thoughts as she carefully put her will in the safest place of her room...under her bed.

And now, time to rest before tomorrow...good-bye Konoha...I hope I can die with a smile on my face...

Alright! Many thanks to Missed Nin for all the help! Never realized how much better this could have been! Thanks! And the next chapter should be up within a week if I can't get to it today! :) Please review!

By the way, the under the bed part, well, Tsunade's bed really is the safest place. What male ninja in his right mind would even think of trying to go there while she's alive? And I don't think any female ninjas would dare try to go there either...heh-heh...possibly my favorite part of the story.
