Author's Notes

This is my first Naruto Fanfic, it's been in my head for a while and if I don't put it to paper I'll go fucking crazy. This is going to be heavily AU in some places and I've got two OC's planned for the story thus far. So go into the story knowing it isn't a self-insert and I've got both OC's pretty solid in my head as far as their personalities and such. Let the story begin!

Chapter 1: Unexpected

Tsunade lay in the hospital bed surrounded by the two people she trusted the most Jiraiya and Hiruzen. The birth of her unplanned son had left her weak as multiple feelings swirled in her head as she held him against her. Happiness is on the forefront accompanied by uncertainty and anxiety, but above all she was happy. She never expected to be a mother nor had she wanted to be actually, but now that the baby was cradled in her arms she knew that all her plans for her life would have to change. Dan's death was the final straw that crumbled her, she had been in a dark place after it happened. It seemed as if her life had been a continuation of pain as she lost all those she held most dear. First, she had lost her grandfather Hashirama and then she lost Nawaki a day after his twelfth birthday a casualty of the war, and then finally Danas well. She had found a reason to live after Nawaki died through the bonds she shared with Dan and now she found that reason again in her son. He had white hair like his father and oddly enough looked a lot like what she imagined Tobirama looked like when he was a child but he had Hashirama's dark but kind eyes. She wished she could have this moment with him forever but then reality hit and with it, the voice of her old teammate Jiraiya chimed in.

He smiled and crossed his arms as he looked down at Tsunade and the new born "Well this sure does change things."

Tsunade never looked up as she replied, still taking in the moment attempting to hold onto it for as long as she possibly could. "Yes, Yes it does."

Hiruzen stood with his arms behind his back with his stern Hokage look on his face "You cannot leave now Tsunade, he is the heir to your clan. We've done well to keep your pregnancy hidden till now but your absence hasn't been overlooked. The Elders ask questions that I can only evade for so long and I'm sure Danzo knows more than most."

Tsunade finally broke out of the moment of ogling over her newborn, shooting a glare at her sensei only slightly able to control the amount of killer intent she was putting out hoping not to wake her sleeping child. "If he even looks in his direction I'll break that man into so many pieces he won't be recognizable."

Hiruzen closed his eyes and responded "I don't like the man either Tsunade, he's a necessary evil. That doesn't change the fact that if you leave as you planned you will be putting the boy at unnecessary risk. You could hide it for a while but the boy looks all Senju. Stay here and I can protect you and the boy both. If you leave I won't be able to help you.."

Tsunade sighed and replied "I'll stay, all that matters now is keeping him safe. I will not lose him, he's the only thing that matters now."

Hiruzen nodded and relaxed his posture happy with his student's decision to listen to his advice. "I'd been planning on stepping down and letting someone else take charge, I can wait a while longer I suppose. The lose of Orochimaru and the weight of the last war still weighs on me." His eyes sagged a bit but renewed his resolve. "You're son's birth will cause a stir amongst the clans, not to mention the effect it will have once other villages find out. Everyone expected the Senju to fade into the history books, I wouldn't be surprised if you receive propositions of betrothal for him within the week."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at the thought of clan messengers approaching her with betrothal propositions for her son. "When the messenger's return crawling because of broken legs they'll get the point and stop asking."

Jiraiya laughed at the visualization "I remember you having to do that for your would-be suitors. Was it after the third or forth before they finally stopped asking? Ironic, now you'll be beating off would be little princesses."

Tsunade internally growled at the memory " It was the the fifth actually." She smiled as she looked at her child. "I don't even wanna think about that right now, I just want to enjoy this for as long as possible."

Jiraiya smiled and got closer to his old teammate peeking at the newborn. "Gotta admit the little prince is kinda cute, he's gonna have the ladies all over him no doubt. Wish I had that problem." Jiraiya's face went red at the thought of being crushed by dozens of nude women.

Tsunade snarled at her teammate and slugged him in his arm obviously catching the last part, "keep your pervy thoughts to yourself." The hit only sent him slightly reeling since she was still weak from birth.

Jiraiya rubbed his arm in protest 'Geesh princess I was only playing. You could've taken my arm clean off. Jiraiya held his chin in thought for a second "Or would it be Queen now that you've got a kid hmmm?"

Tsunade hit the same spot on his arm again. agitating the bruise even more and causing Jiraiya to rub it even more in protest hoping to sooth the pain. "Are you calling me old!" Her voice rising and causing the baby to stir a little bit in his sleep. She glared at Jiraiya and sent a small dose of killer intent at him. "If you wake him up I swear to god you won't have an arm left when I'm done with you."

Hiruzen chuckled at the sight of his student's pestering one another and looked at Tsunade. "I'll make the announcement tomorrow in private to the elders and clan heads."

Tsunade nodded at his words "I plan on moving back into the estate as soon as I'm able, It's safer there than some random apartment. He is a Senju, it's where he belongs."

Hiruzen smiled at that, it had been a while since Tsunade had visited her childhood home let alone stay there. "I'll make the arrangements so that it is in proper order before you arrive."

Jiraiya still rubbing the bruise on his arm spoke up "I think I'll stay for a while myself, keep an eye on the little prince till thing's smooth out just in case."

Tsunade looked to the door and then at Hiruzen "Tell Shizune to come in I want her to meet him."

Hiruzen walked over to the door and opened it. The entrance to the room was flanked by two ANBU on either side. He looked over to Shizune who was practically strangling her pet pig TonTon. She looked up at him and he motioned for her to come inside.

Shizune rushed past the Hokage and into the room and up to Tsunade spotting the bundle wrapped up in her arms. "Are you alright? Is it a boy or is it a girl? Is it healthy? The questions spewed out of the younger girl's mouth at an extreme pace.

Tsunade smiled at her "I'm fine Shizune calm down. He's a boy and he's in perfect health."

Hiruzen looked down at the new Senju heir and his mother, "have you decided on a name yet Tsunade?"

Tsunade smiled and brushed his white hair to the side as he sleeps cuddled up against her "His name is Damien."
