Sot his is the next part i am trying a little bit of a different format but the writing style is very similar. So Naruto's main abilities will be in seals and healing with Ninjutsu as an afterthought. This story is gonna start to diverge a lot from Cannon after a certain point. You will know when this is most likely. :) anyhow read bottom for a quick an.

3 years later

Courier Ninja's Thoughts before his timely retirement!

Finally I found her. Sitting in a big Casino with her signature genjutsu, hiding from the world and her troubled past, is a woman who is about to have a huge change in her life, although it was a change 3 years coming. It had taken me three years to follow the clues and track this woman down. This woman, who was and will be again, a great symbol for both Konoha and woman everywhere. It is a pity that she wastes her life away like this however; her skills are undeniable as it has taken me, one of the greatest messenger ninja in Konoha, three long years to finally find her.

As I approach her, I notice a reaction at her table. She seems to have won and big from the look of the pile on the table. Apparently some kami has smiled at me for this great fortune, if she won she will definitely be easier to deal with.

... It is too bad that for him that for Tsunade good luck brings bad luck

Tsunade PoV

A royal flush! Never good a sign, she thinks to herself as the other three people at the table grumble about their bad fortune... never realizing that it is not an omen of their bad fortune but her own! Nothing good ever happens when I win...

"SHIZUNE!" I yell "We need to leave right now!

"Why Lady Tsunade?" she asks with curiosity in her voice.

"I just won Shizune," I say "I won big with the best hand possible"

A brief glimpse of understanding shows in her eyes before she says "I understand Tsunade-sama I shall get the bags out of the hotel and meet you at the gate immediately." She immediately exits the casino to follow her plan as I gather up my winnings and go to cash out.

Five seconds after I leave the casino I hear a light thump. Recognizing the sound as a ninja landing on the ground I turn around and see a ninja with a messenger bag and a Konoha headband. The first thing he does is ask for verification that I am who I appear to be. With a snort, I walk up to him and flick his forehead. In less than a second the courier ninja was in the wall of the building behind him.

As he is down for the count I take it upon myself to grab his bag and look for the message for me that he was obviously send to deliver. I find the letter written to me and realize it is from Sarutobi-sensei.

Immediately I feel bad for knocking out this courier nin, so with two quick hand seals I heal him up using the Mystic Palm Technique. He is quickly healed and I leave him as I open the message sensei had sent me.

The first thing I recognize is that the message is 3 years old. It took that messenger 3 years to find me! What if it had been important? Obviously, sensei's ninja are getting more and more incompetent. As soon as I finished reading the message I couldn't help but feel the fury at whoever had dared enter my family's house. When I find whoever it is I am going to rip them into so many little pieces that even I couldn't revive them.

It takes me just over a minute to get to the gate of the village on the other side of town feeling incredibly angry and vicious. I know Shizune can tell I'm furious as I stomp past her to exit the village. She follows immediately but is hesitant to ask me where we are going next. Taking pity on her and feeling my anger ebb slightly in the presence of Shizune and Ton-Ton I tell her,

"Shizune, I was visited by a courier-nin just now with a message from sensei. Apparently, someone decided that just because I wasn't in the village anymore it would be okay to raid the Senju estate on the border of fire country. We are going to go show these people just how I feel about that!"

At the Senju Estate, Jiraiya was cooking Ramen for Naruto before he started to uncontrollably shiver...

Senju Estate: 2 weeks later

Naruto PoV:

Bang! Boom! Ka-Pow! Crash!

While sounds were not unusual to him, they were unusual to be heard in the house. It was usually when Naruto went with his godfather to the bathhouse that he heard these sounds. It was almost always his godfather that was on the receiving end of these sounds. However to hear them in the house was enough of an unusual event that he had to get up and see what was causing them.

Plus it was always fun to watch the perv try to get away.

As soon as he exited his room he watched stunned as the perv fly right past him into the wall with a very angry looking blonde woman following him. Godfather was slowly getting out of the now huge hole in the wall however, he didn't get out before the blond woman got to him.

BAM!

She punches him again and he goes flying into the table on the kitchen however, the worst part was when I heard the splash. Now I remembered that he was making me Ramen! How dare that blonde woman ruin his lunch! I quickly try to run past her into the kitchen to see if any of my precious Ramen is still ok to eat when I feel a tug on my collar. I quickly see the angry blonde woman has grabbed me and is holding me up to her face by the collar of my shirt.

"Why do you look so familiar brat?" she says as her angry expression changes to curiosity.

I reply quickly, not wanting to end up like Jiraiya, "I don't even know who you are!"

She drops me just as quickly as she picked me up and walks past me into the kitchen. I quickly follow her in and see her kneeling over Jiraiya and thinking she is just gonna beat him up some more I was about to turn around and walk out until I saw a green glow from her hands.

From that point on I knew what I wanted to be just like her!

She could beat up the pervert who has awesome moves, and can fix them up when she's done! She is so awesome!

When she finally finishes healing Jiraiya he says quickly, "Hey Tsunade, what's with the beating the life out of me?"

She replies just as quickly, "What do you think you're doing in my house! You have 30 seconds to explain or I'm gonna throw you around again!"

Jiraiya quickly goes into an explanation of how Sensei told him to come live here to watch over little Naruto and that he is Kushina and Minato's kid. I sit quietly next to the pretty lady who came with Tsunade in one of the only chairs not destroyed in the kitchen as they talk. However as I sit in the chair all I can think about is how awesome this woman is. She beat Jiraiya up and she can heal people and punch people into giant holes! So awesome!

Finally by the time the explanation is over I can't help it and yell "Hey lady! Can you teach me that! That was so cool! You're so strong, and awesome, and cool!

She seems shocked for a second than smiles and says "Kushina's son eh? So like her... I guess it wouldn't hurt to stay and teach and help raise you, as I'm sure Jiraiya doesn't know anything about raising a kid! Might try to make him into a pervert and then wouldn't she be disappointed in me." I smile brightly at her thinking she is done however, she continues, "Just know I am going to work you to the bone and I will pound any perverted thoughts out of your head… this is your first and only warning!"

I quickly reply, "YES! I'll work hard and be the best healer and beater-upper person ever!"
