Tsunades POV

Tsunade sighed to her self as she pulled another mission report from the pile on her desk. She wished there would be some kind of upside to being Hokage and now that Naruto and Jiraiya were gone the village was filled with the council with sticks shoved up there asses and a somber bunch of ninjas. She smiles to herself and remembers all the change Naruto brought to Konoha how after the defeat of pain how even in his "death" he changed the village as a whole.

As she was thinking to herself she missed the tentative knock on the door. As well as the slight creak of the new wooden door. "Tsunade- sama it rare to see a smile like that recently do you mind if I ask why?"

"Oh sorry Kage lost in memory . . . so, I'm guessing your mission went on without a hitch." She said with a slight smirk.

"Well I got the scroll you wished as well as the other info but there was a slight miscalculation" Kage said while scratching the back of his neck.

Tsunade looks up finally taking a look at one of her elite anbu. He was wearing black pants and fishnet shirt with the anbu vest. She noticed that his black mask was still covering his features. She frowns and asks "and what was this miscalculation?"

"Well the mission said that I was supposed to get the scroll and listen to the plans of the leader to hear when they would raid our trade routes. . ." Kage paused seeing that the Hokage was getting a little annoyed he finished in a rush. "Well what I heard made me act outside the mission he said he would attack within the week so I beat them to the punch". He said flinching like she was going to hit him.

Tsunade got up from the desk and walked across the room to the young elite anbu. She looked right at the mask as if seeing through it and asked "and how did you accomplish this?"

Kage relaxed and answered calmly seeing he wasn't in trouble though the Hokage seemed to not be a threat being 3 inches shorter than him and about 55 years old (though she looks like 35) she still had her giants' strength. "Well I destroyed there armory and poisoned their horses drinking water." He said confidently.

"Well Kage Namikaze you have fulfilled your mission and also given us time to prepare welcome home and I'll have to get your written report later as you see I have much more paper work to do" she winks and waves him off to leave.

"Oh and before you go I have a new mission for you come tomorrow for the details" she said grinning to herself. She heard the door open and close before she went back to the large desk and removed a bottle of sake from her hidden compartment to drink.

Kages POV

Kage worked his way down Hokage tower slowly taking his time seeing familiar faces behind his mask. He walked calmly down the street toward the forest to the training areas before he made his way home. It was nearly noon he came early from his mission by a full day so no one would expect him back so soon.

'Well first thing people would have to know when I came back at all.' He thought to himself.

He quietly jumped onto a sturdy branch and made his way to his favorite training area.

He made it to the Forest of Death and calmly unlocked gate 12 and walked through he jumped from tree to tree till he was deep into forest before taking off his mask.

He ruffled his blonde hair in the shade and hung it on the tree wear he usually did. He looked around the makeshift training ground he made a month before. He saw the targets hole ridden and the straw dummies he planted in the small clearing.

"Well down to work" he sighed to himself miserably. He unsealed his black chakra blade and tested its blade before crossing his hands in a familiar sign and making 100 shadow clones.

"Well you guys no the drill lets do this thing" Kage said

He continued to practice his sword and some of his other techniques till he was tired and working a light sweat. He sighed to himself before making his was back to his house.

He didn't want to risk seeing him come out of the forest so he gathered his mask slid it on and shunshined to the Namikaze Mansion.

Once there he walked to the high walls surrounding the complex and bite his thumb placing it on a small gold box on the outside of the box and releasing a seal "kai".

Kage continued through the giant front yard with the hedge maze on one side and the collage of trees and gardens spread over what seemed like forever.

He walked calmly looking from one way to the other remembering to thank his few servants for keeping it in such good shape.

"Great now I'm going to have to have a party or give them a raise" he said to himself smiling.

Kage walked through the heavy oak double doors and dodged to the right instinctively.

"What the hell Kaede I come home after a three day mission and you try and tackle me?!?" Kage yelled.

Kaede looking crestfallen looked up sad tears forming in her eyes "but . . .But I couldn't help it Walters been being a pill and you're so nice to use I just wanted to get a hug." She said trying to get an excuse.

Kage turned around knowing full well what her intentions were "well I'll excuse it this once but only because you've kept the gardens in such good condition" he said with a small smile.

She sighed and turned before she could get in trouble she was almost to the far side of the foyer when Kage called to her.

"But Walter is your superior and needs your respect his is my butler and helps keep things organized while I'm gone. So as a little punishment you should dust the armory and most of the guest rooms again I feel soon I'll have to invite some of the other Konoha 12."

With this Kaede watched as he walked past her to the stairs and proceeded to his room for rest.

Kage stripped his vest and mesh shirt before plopping on the bed exhausted. He reached to ruffle his hair and hit something solid. He chuckled to himself and removed his mask it became such a habit that he say it as a second skin. He reached down removing his half mask as well then ruffled his blond hair and frowning at all the secrets he has been keeping from all of his precious people.

He sighed and quickly fell asleep Tsunade needed him early tomorrow for another mission.

Kaede quietly crept down the hallway stopping close to his door and took a peak at the sleeping figure "good night Naruto thanks for everything" she walked away happy that could come and say that much to him.
