Chapter One: Lost in a Bet

It was another pleasant day in Konoha. People are doing their daily chores while others are doing their works. Ninjas on the other hand are roaming around while some are in training.

At the Hokage's tower…(10:00am)

Tsunade was sleeping that time. Numerous bottles of sake were on top of her desk and important papers were scattered all around the floor. You can even hear her loud snores from the other side. She woke up immediately when the door of her room slammed open. She looked at her secretary with half open eyes and greeted her.

"Shizune…hick!...so what's going o…" She was cut when Shizune banged the table and spoke while breathing heavily.

"Tsunade-sama, the prince of Hidden Mist country will be visiting!" Tsunade slowly straightened up and replied.

"Don't worry Shizune. We can handle those kind of…" She was cut again when Shizune continued to speak.

"But they are already near our village!" Tsunade sat back and crossed her fingers. Then called for ninjas to go at the entrance gate and welcome the coming prince. She didn't panic instead she opened another bottle of sake and drank all the liquid in one shot.

After a few minutes of waiting someone knocked on the door. When Shizune opened it, there revealed a very handsome young guy. He has a perfect shape of face with bangs resting on either side of his cheeks. His hair was silky, and black…long enough to touch his lean waist. His skin was pale and his gold eyes were shining like crystals. He was wearing a dangling earring (placed on his left ear) that jingles every time he moves and a nice but loosed kimono that sways with the graceful movement of his body.

"Am I welcomed inside?" A lovely voice spoke. Shizune then moved sideward and led the beautiful prince to the couch.

"So…what makes you come here…Kazuki-sama?" Tsunade leaned forward and smiled at the prince.

"To take my revenge…Tsunade-sama." The prince replied while smiling.

"Yo---you both know each other?" Shizune asked a little bit shocked. The two turned and looked at her and nodded. "Have you forgotten about me, Shi-chan?" The young prince asked.

"I—It can't be!...You're the kid who was defeated by Tsunade-sama." The prince nodded and turned to face Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama…Would you play with me at the casino?"

"Sure!" The hokage immediately answered. "If you're going to win I will give you an everyday supply of sake."

"Oh yeah that would be great!" Tsunade spoke as Shizune gave her a glare.

"If I win…I will pick one of your best ninjas to be my bride." At this, Tsunade stopped from smiling. "Please don't let her…please don't let her…please don't let her…" Shizune muttered repeatedly as she prayed to kami.

"Alright! So when will it be held?"

"Today."

At the training grounds…

Sakura walked over the water and danced crazily as she continued to giggle.

"Nee Sasuke, Have you noticed that Sakura has been acting weird all day?" Naruto whispered to his friend.

"But everyday she's like that." Sasuke simply replied and glanced at their team mate.

"Teme! That's not the point!" Naruto shouted. "I mean…something is really weird about her."

"Have you forgotten that there is a prince who entered our village lately? He may probably be the reason for it." Naruto looked skyward. "It seems that you were not looking when he went pass us, dobe." Sasuke then remembered when the prince stared at Naruto the whole time he was walking towards the Hokage's tower. (with ninjas around him)

"Uhhh…Sasuke are you ok?" Naruto asked and the raven just nodded.

Back to Tsunade…at the Casino

"Nooooooooooo!!!" The hokage's voice echoed inside the casino as every people who were in there stared at her in surprise.

"My sake…my daily supply of sake is gone!" Tsunade dramatically shouted once more while the prince just smiled there, loudly laughing inside his mentality.

"This is your entire fault! You should've just back away from that stupid bet!" Shizune shouted at the hokage while lifting her by her collar. Her face was red because of anger.

After those dramas, the prince stood up from his chair and strode towards Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama…Can I get my prize now?" The prince spoke. Shizune then took away her hands and glanced at Tsunade's reaction.

Sighs…

"Ok…go and pick whoever ninja you want to be your bride." Tsunade spoke, her face down from embarrassment. The prince grinned and immediately left.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

While the prince is looking for the person he is aiming to have, numerous girls and even guys were staring at him, giggling (guys don't do these) and continuously smiling at him. Most of them are pretty…(does this have a connection?)

"I can't find him." The prince murmured and sat on the nearest bench he saw. It's been an hour since he started looking and still, no sign of the person he was looking. He closed his eyes slowly and lifted his head sky wards. While resting, he heard someone. He opened his eyes and saw a pink-haired girl approaching him.

"Excuse me…are you waiting for someone?" The blushing young woman asked a bit shyly.

"No but I am looking for someone." The prince answered as the pink-haired young woman started to giggle. (like the other girls.)

"Oh…Probably I could help you find that person. By the way my name is Sakura…Haruno Sakura." The now identified young woman reached her hand to the prince. The prince took it and introduced himself.

"I am Nakajima Kazuki (sorry if the name is not that good…I can't think of one.) Prince of…" He was cut when a voice called the pink-haired girl's name.

"Sakura!" It called again, this time the voice was coming nearer.

"K'so!...that Naruto!..." Sakura (whispered) clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "Anou…Kazuki-sama matte kudasai!" She turned and faced her two friends.

"Sakura…Kakashi-sensei is looking for you." Naruto spoke. "Eh? Who is that Sakura-chan?" He asked and took a glance at the guy who also seems to look like a girl.

"That's the prince who came lately." She whispered. When Sasuke heard it, he reached for Naruto's hand and tried to grab it but unfortunately Naruto was already moving towards the prince.

"Um…excuse me." Naruto spoke putting a smile on his (handsome) face. The prince tilted his head and stared at him. After realizing that he was the person he was looking, Kazuki (prince) stood up. (He was a few inches taller than Naruto)

"At last I found you." He muttered.

"Huh?" Was only Naruto's reaction. He then grabbed the surprised blonde's right hand and pulled him.

"K'so!" Sasuke cursed and ran after the prince who was carrying his beloved Naruto…while Sakura just stayed there, dumbfounded.

Riku (author): Sighs…a bad start again eh? My laziness just kept me from not writing well so pls. do not blame me. It's my stupid attitude! ..Even I, myself, hate this. If you want an explanation about this chapter….Explanation/summary: Tsunade once won in a casino (take not: only once) with a kid…but is now a prince. He already visited Konoha before he properly went there. I mean the day before he made that deal with Tsunade to play with him again. (And Naruto was the reason why he will visit Konoha and why he made a deal with the Hokage) That's it!
