Twas a fairly calm night in the village of the leaf. All the civilians were either leaving work or heading out to the red light district to enjoy the nightlife. The ninja were all at the bars, training grounds or going out on dates with their significant others. All but three people. The Sandaime hokage, his student Tsunade and her unofficially adopted daughter Narumi Uzumaki-Senju. The Hokage had called her back to the village weeks after the Kyuubi attack, he would not budge in letting the village kill the legacy of his late successor, nor would he give her to Root.
He would rather murder the council than hand over the little angel. Looking at her now in Tsunade's arms, Narumi had curly silver hair as pure as the full moon's beautiful glow. Small spiky bangs framing her small face. Her face was heart shaped and completely unblemished. You couldn't even tell she was the fox's jinchuuriki. If she wasn't sound asleep he would bet that her crystal blue eyes would be sparkling with unsuppressed glee. She had her biological mother's tan and her father's looks.
"Sensei, explain to me why it is that you asked me back here after all this time. And also, why you have me holding this child." Tsunade basically demanded. Sure she thought the baby girl was adorable, but she wasn't the legendary sucker for nothing. She would not be betting the old monkey no matter he offered up to the table. But who knows, she may see if little Shizune would like to have a sister, if the answer was yes then she would definitely look into adopting the little girl.
"Tsunade….tell me, how does it sound being the mother to an orphaned infant. Also, I recalled you back because the hospital could use your expertise at the moment. You don't have to stay within the village, but I request that you look over the hospital for the duration of three weeks. No more, no less. The child will stay with me until you come back with an answer in three weeks. But I shall warn you, there are individuals within the village that wish to do harm to her."
Three weeks later…
Tsunade could honestly say she didn't fully detest being back in her home village. She had caught Shizune and that perverted Kakashi alone several times during her stay. Being the protective mother hen she is, she stumped some sense into the young anbu captain ensuring that he didn't get the idea of trying out any ideas he may have gotten by reading Icha Icha. She also looked in on Kushina's ex students Genma, Kurenai and Itachi. The latter being busy with anbu duties while Kurenai and Genma were studying to tryout for the jonin exams. She thought about looking into Jiraiya's old team, aside from Minato, and Orochimaru's outcast of an apprentice but they all seemed to be outside of the village throughout the duration of her stay.
Heading towards the kage tower in the center of the village, she couldn't help but remember how Shizune reacted to seeing Narumi. The teen was ecstatic and kept a firm hold on the infant. Even going as far as arguing with the hokage because she didn't want to let the angel out of her sight or grasp. Needless to say, she went ahead and adopted the little diamond then and there. Tomorrow she would be departing the village with her apprentice and new daughter, promising to keep in touch via summons to keep the aged kage informed about the infant's well being and upraising.

Hiruzen was never happier. Truthfully he wished Tsunade would stay and raise the child within the village, but that was only wishful thinking. The day her duty was over she packed her bags and left without even so much as a goodbye. Baby and all.
"Lady Tsunade, I was wondering…...if maybe we could stay near Months? I'm chuunin level now and with your training I know I will make jonin. But I want to become Anbu. Especially now that we have Nayumi. I want to be strong enough to protect her and guide her. She's the little sister I never had. I don't want to lose her like I lost uncle Dan" Shizune rehearsed in the mirror of their hotel room. She had been thinking long and hard about it for a while.
Ever since Tsunade had lost Dan and Nawaki she had scooped up Shizune and left. Not being able to bear the thought of loosing the only connection she had left to her soon to be husband, she had disenrolled Shizune from the ninja core and took her on as a apprentice. Vowing to keep her alive as long as she breathed. Awaking as she heard little Nayumi stirring in her sleep, she looked for her apprentice and self proclaimed daughter figure until she heard the girl speaking in the bathroom.
The words shook her to her very soul. 'No, Shizune. You will not leave my side and you will not become one of those adrenaline crazed suicidal anbu. I refuse to let you throw away your life. Just as I refuse to let Nayumi follow in her father's footsteps in wanting to become Hokage. This I swear.' The slug sannin thought to herself as she shook off the unnerving feeling that overcame her. She would up the training regime for Shizune and give her the strenght and skill she craved but she would never allow her to become anbu or go back to the accursed village.
(Baby crying in the background) "Urggh! Shizune, get out here and take care of Nayumi! I'm going to get some supplies and some sake. Kami knows I'm going to need it." The legendary sucker mumbled the last part to herself.
13 years later
"Nayumi! Come on baby, win! Mama needs some new sake!" Tsunade shouted, as her daughter played high stakes black jack. Nayumi had the devil's luck when it came to gambling. The golden blonde angel had won millions of ryo already and now she was going to double her winnings by going all in, win or lose. All the grown men at the table stared lecherously at the 14 year old. She was beautiful sure but overly developed for her age. No thanks to Tsunade's forced diet.
Nayumi stood at 5'10, luscious curly golden blonde hair with silver highlights that reached to the back of her legs. Firm and perky E sized breasts that she wrapped tightly to her chest to appear smaller. A regular bronze tan that complemented her flawless complexion. Her eyes were saphire blue with feline slits and they could break even the hardest of veterans with a stern gaze. Her voice was soft yet full of joy, it danced with the wind like a lullaby. Entrancing all that listened to her. But that's where all the beauty ends.
Nayumi was trained by the Slug sannin herself, along with Shizune's extensive knowledge of poison application and the human nervous system; which made her a very dangerous individual. She was already elite jonin in skill and experience without accessing her vast chakra reserves. With the use of her chakra, she was beyond kage level. But lacked the experience to be classified as a S ranked ninja. Tsunade would rank her high a ranked.
She opted to wear a black midrif tank top that both hugged her like a second skin and exposed her toned body. A burnt orange jonin vest with the uzumaki swirl and senju crest intertwined on the back. Her pants were anbu black and skin tight with slits on the shins in a stylish manner, silver lining down the side of her pants that stopped and inch shy of her dark orange and black spiked combat boots.
Hanging out around her adoptive mother gave her numerous nicknames, her most favorite were Akuma no te (Devil's hand), Lilith (due to her beauty and destructive nature), and Kogane no Kitsune. She had no clue why Tsunade had given her Kogane no Kitsune as a nickname but she loved it none the less. Her hobby had become playing mind games on people, gambling and collecting poisons. She was already in leauge with Tsunade in terms of medical skills but she didn't want to become a medic ninja, she wanted to be an assasin. She dam sure was good at it too. That was how Tsunade managed to become debt free. Not that she wanted Nayumi to indulge in the ugly side of shinobi life, but what could she say, the girl gave excellent results.
But like all good things come to an end, it was time to return Nayumi to Konoha as per the deal with the Sandaime. The aged kage wanted the girl to undertake the graduation exam and be part of a genin cell, but with Nayumi's attitude and carefree nature, there was no way she would be stuck with anyone and therefore free to do what she wanted however she wanted. That was Tsunade's thought process, but then again she wasn't called the legendary sucker for a reason. She would see the results of her training one way or another.
Back in Konoha
The sandaime hokage sat in his office, contemplating just who would train his successor's legacy. He would not allow the yondaime's dying gift be shunned or away from the very village that the man gave his life for. The girl would be apart of Konoha whether she liked it or not. He also could not bear to have the village jinchuuriki stay outside of the village's control any longer. The council had been very lenient with his decision to allow the child to be raised and trained outside of Konoha control and not under their watchfull eyes.
All would be rewarded soon. She was due to return in exactly…..ah here they are now. Looking up Sarutobi was graced with the presence of his student and her apprentice and a stranger covered in a shrouded cloak. Face hidden by a golden mask with kitsune markings. Shocking the man momentarily as he sent a sideways glare towards Tsunade.
"Ahh, welcome Tsu-chan, how have you been over the years? Shizune san, nice to see you again, and who is this? Would you do me the honor of revealing yourself?" The old kage spoke warmly to the cloaked figure. But the response he was given was utter silence.
Glancing towards Tsunade again, he rose and approached the figure. Reaching up with his hand to remove the cloak, he was again surprised when the figure denied him even that. Grasping his wrist in a icy cold grip, he stared into the eyes of the mask. What he saw unnerved him deeply. Staring back at him were dead dark blue glaciers, his breathing hitched as the room grew 20 degrees colder. The shadows in the room grew darker and his abu guards fell unconscious. And after what seemed like hours, the figure spoke.
"No man shall dare lay a hand on me, no matter what position of authority he may hold. No individual shall command me or else my blade will cut them down. If you think that you can control me then you shall meet your end just as everyone else that threatened my mother has." Nayumi spoke in a deathly calm voice, her serrated katana resting against his kidney as she released his wrist. Only removing the blade when Tsunade told her to stand down.
"As you can see sensei, Nayumi does not play well with others and she does not take orders. She is well above jonin level as your unconcious anbu can attest to that. Even Shizune is beyond elite anbu level after upping her training. But that's not what you care about. Is it sensei? Nayumi is a poison expert, master in medical ninjutsu even though she hates it (insert scoff from Nayumi) and a expert assasin. She excels in taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu, proficient in fuinjutsu, and a master swordswoman but don't take my word for it. I know you won't listen anyways." Tsunade said as she and the two other women dissapeared instantly. Upon their departure, the anbu woke up and returned to their positions, wondering why their leader looked shaken and where the three women from earlier went.
with Tsunade and company
The three medic ninja were walking through Konoha when two jonin and a anbu appeared in front of them. Neko, Kakashi and Gai. The three ninja nodded to them then led them off to a empty training field where they stood blocking he path back to the village and subsequentially any way away from the village that wouldn't lead to direct conflict.
Walking forward, Kakashi spoke. "Sandaime sama wishes to test your abilities. So we three will be your opponents in Gen, Tai, Nin, and Kenjutsu. Now if you are ready…...let the games begin."
