CHAPTER 1 THE HERO OF THE GREAT STORM
The Land of Fire once again basked in bright sunlight after a week long period of heavy rain hit the land as well as the city of Konoha. The rain fell nonstop for days, everyone feared that the nearby river might overflow, unfortunately their worst fear was about to become a reality. This was exactly one year after Naruto and Jiraiya went away for a period of 2 years of training, at the same time, Tsunade was teaching Sakura healing jutsu and how to finally become useful using intense punching power which could turn a brick wall into dust.
The rain in our village fell nonstop for many days, many people thought they were going to die when the nearby river overflowed and flooded the village. Our flood defences which we d set up were beginning to weaken. We were down to our last few sandbags, the rain continued on and on and the flood kept on increasing in size. On the same night yet another river overflowed and sent a massive wave of water through the town. We thought this was the end until out of nowhere a ninja appeared, he stood in front of us and saw the wave coming towards him; he stood in place and performed hand signs for a very powerful jutsu. The jutsu was known as the Mizu Jouhatsu; Water vaporization technique. We all stood in awe as the massive wave and the flood disappeared. I decided to feel the ground, the ground was completely dry, I thought to myself that is impossible, how could the ground suddenly become dry after so much water had been on it a few seconds ago, I realised that this ninja must have been powerful, in fact; he said his name was Tensai Namikaze; the first son of the Fourth Hokage.
My name is Tsunade, this village is my home and I am willing to put my life on the line to protect the entire village which is dear and previous to me. I am Tsunade; the Fifth Hokage.
Many have walked down the Shinobi path before me, the First Hokage; Hashirama Senju, the Second Hokage; Tobirama Senju; the Third Hokage; Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Fourth Hokage; Minato Namikaze. I am the continuation of the great Hokage s who gave their life to keep this village alive.
Tensai Namikaze was born seven years before Naruto. Tensai learnt a special jutsu called the Mizu Jouhatsu; Water vaporization technique. This great technique was passed down to him from his father; Minato Namikaze. This amazing technique was used to save the lives and homes of villagers in times of floods and tidal waves. This great technique was used by the Fourth Hokage when Kyuubi the Nine Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konoha. The Nine Tailed Demon Fox s tails destroyed mountains and caused great tidal waves. Minato used the Mizu Jouhatsu technique to completely destroy the tidal waves. This technique is now in the hands of Tensai who wields this amazing power; he used this great power to save Konoha from the great storm. He or neither Naruto will ever know each other existence, or will they?
Naruto was off in a far and distant land with the legendary Sannin Ninja Jiraiya. Naruto was improving his Rasengan, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu. Jiraiya was also teaching him Senjutsu; this power was used by many great sages and Naruto was to become one of them. This training was going to continue for the next year, he d already been training hard for exactly one year however, during training he severely injured himself and for a short period of time he had to return to Konoha to get medical help. He was in the care of Tsunade who made a special elixir for him which she nicknamed the Elixir of Eternal Healing . Tsunade said the Elixir would heal him within three and a half months. Naruto was pleased to hear this seeing as he wanted to get back to training as soon as possible. Tsunade smiled at Naruto and said Now you get better young man, keep drinking that, it will help you keep your strength . She smiled once more and gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek. Naruto blushed slightly and said Super Blushy Jutsu . Tsunade smirked slightly and said That s not a real jutsu . Naruto said I don t care, believe it! Tsunade giggled slightly and said I can see you re definitely getting better already Naruto. Tsunade walked out and gently closed the door. Naruto stared out of the window in his room for hours until the sun went down.
