Chapter 1-Tsunade—Baa-chan
Two hours after the sealing of the Kyuubi 4 people were gathered inside the office of the Hokage, one of them was the reappointed Sandaime Sarutobi, the others were Tsunade, of the legendary three, next to her was her assistant, Shizune and the last one was Jiraiya, the toad sage. All were gathered around a small infant with a seal on his stomach.
"Sensei..." mumbles the toad sage. "Who is to care for the child now? With Minato and Kushina dead."
"I do not now Jiraiya, I will not be able to for the Hokage's duties are once again put upon me, nor will any of the leading clans since they are afraid that if they take the child into their custody they will become outcasts", says the old man with visible grief upon his eyes.
"Sensei, I know that i am his godfather, but with my duties in the spy network and I don't think that Orochimaru can handle another child in his care after adopting his godchild, Anko Mitarashi. If none will accept him in my stead then how will the boy survive?" asks Jiraiya with troubles etched on his face, it was a surprise that he was not breaki8ng down right now, after all sannin or not he treated Minato like a son, and he was his most prized student after the ame orphans.
"That is true Jiraiya without guardians i don't think that the boy will survive even up to his 1st birthday too much animosity and hate is driven to him by the village." Still the Sarutobi pondered his choices but then he hears a whisper.
" I-i will take him...".
"Are you sure Tsunade? With 12 year old Shizune-chan can you handle another child in your care?"
"yes sensei i think i still can, Shizune will help me, won't you Shizune-chan?" She asks her young apprentice.
"Hai Tsunade-sama...He could be like a brother to me" Shizune gladly replies.
"hmm..are you alright with this Jiraiya?"
"Well we have no other choice Sensei, but Tsunade must still promise me not to drink in front of young Naruto i wouldn't want my godchild have a bad influence, is that alright Tsunade-hime?" The Hermit asks with a straight face, that he barely wears.
"Yes Jiraiya ero-sannin" the slug princess jokingly answers.
"Good, then it is settled while Jiraiya is on his missions Naruto would be left in the care of Tsunade. I shall have the Senju family estate cleaned and be prepared for the three of you Tsunade."
"Arigato Sarutobi-sensei me and Shizune will gather our things from the apartment and be on our way to the estate. Could Naruto stay here for a while as we get our things?" the Sandaime answers with a brief nod and looks to his paper work " you are dismissed!"
"HAI!" the three then clears out of the Hokage office in deep thought if they were wise on their decisions.
