Rebirth Of The Uzumaki's chapter 9

This is a two part chapter. The first half is the bet, and the second half is the sannin battle, just like in the anime.

"Tsunade was here…"

"So was Orochimaru."

"Gee? You think?"

Jirai, Natsuki, and Hinata had arrived at the castle, or what used to be the castle. Right now, it was a giant crater, with punches through some of the remaining walls.

"Let's split up. Here's a picture of Tsunade. Go around town and ask people if they have seen her. Natsuki, you go check in the gambling parlors, Hinata will check in all of the local bars and taverns, and I will search through the red-light district. We'll meet back here in ten. If one of you is not here by that time, it means that either you found Tsunade, or I found her. Now break!"

Jirai went to the red-light district, not to search for Tsunade, but to go peeping. Natsuki had went to all of the gambling parlors, and discovered that she had amazing luck. Figures. Hinata went to all of the local bars and taverns, and located her in the second one, with her apprentice and a…pig?

"OINK!"

Yep, definitely a pig.

When Jirai and Natsuki had met back at the spot, but found no traces of Hinata or Tsunade. However, Natsuki summoned Hinata with her Summoning jutsu, and she led the way back to the bar, where Jirai told her that she was to be given the position of Gondaime. Tsunade declined, and started to insult all of the previous Hokage's. Natsuki couldn't take it anymore, and moved to pummel her into oblivion, when Jirai held her back by the scruff of her neck, while she started to challenge Tsunade to a fight. Of course, the slightly drunk Tsunade took her up on the offer, leaving Jirai, Shizune, Ton-ton, and Hinata to shake their heads as they followed them outside.

"One finger, that's all I need to defeat you."

"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!" Natsuki charges forward with a kunai in hand. Tsunade has her eyes closed, but with a snap of her wrist, defects the thrown kunai and flicks Natsuki's hitate-ate off. Natsuki rolls backward from the force of the blow, and was about to resume her attack when the kunai lands point down roughly an inch in front of her face.

"Before you pass out, tell me. Why does the position of Hokage mean so much to you?"

"Because unlike you, being Hokage…that is my dream!"

Tsunade is caught off guard with those words, while reminiscing about her little brother and her fiancé before they dies, Natsuki sees an opening in her defense, and exploits it by spinning some chakra into a sphere. Just as she is charging forward, Tsunade snaps out of it. Upon seeing the jutsu being used, she is slightly surprised. 'No way, the fourth's…' Acting a split second before the jutsu hits its mark, Tsunade pushed her finger down with so much force that she makes a fissure. Natsuki was only a foot away when the ground split open under her feet, and her jutsu fell short of her target, impacting the ground.

"Jirai! You have some explaining to do! Did you teach-this gaki-that jutsu?"

"So what if I did?"

"This gaki could never master one of the fourth's strongest jutsu, the Rasengan!"

'Rasengan?'

"And why not? That gaki happens to be the fourth's daughter!" 'Opps, I said too much….'

Natsuki processed this information, and promptly passed out seconds afterwards. The last thing that she heard before succumbing to the bliss of unconsciousness, she heard someone mumble. "The fourth's…daughter?" Just as Natsuki fainted, Hinata also fainted from sheer information overload, and landed on top of Natsuki, mere inches away from their lips meeting.

Once their lips met. They both opened their eyes to the size of dinner plates, promptly sat up, parted their lips, and turned away, blushing furiously, although Natsuki's blush faded away after a couple of seconds. 'Well, we do have children already, plus we are technically already married, so why am I so embarrassed?'

"Even still, she has too little chakra to even complete that jutsu!"

"Wanna bet? I'll have this jutsu down in three days flat!"

"Be careful what you say, or I might just take your word for it."

"I never go back on my word. That is my nindo, my ninja way!"

"Fine, I'll give you one week. If you can master the Rasengan in one week, then I'll come back to Konohakagure and be Gondaime. I'll even give you this necklace, worth enough to buy three gold mines and the mountains on top of them!"

"I ACCEPT!"

"But if you lose…"

GULP

"Then I want you to give up your dream to be Hokage. As a matter of fact, I want you to stop being a kunoichi!"

"Fine then!"

6 days later, and we find Natsuki passed out, surrounded by spiral marks on the trees. Shizune, who happened to be secretly watching her, gasped when she passed out, and quickly brought her back to her room, where she saw Tsunade, who promptly knocked her out after putting Natsuki to bed, and walked out to drug her teammate.

Natsuki woke up, and yawned. She looked around the room, and spotted Shizune. She went down to wake her up. When she woke Shizune up, Shizune temporarily forgot that today was the meeting with Orochimaru. However, she soon remembered, and went to the window and opened it, telling Natsuki to stay there, only to narrowly dodge a kunai. She stared at the kunai for a second, before her eyes gazed over to the thrower, only to see a sweating Jirai. "She drugged me, my chakra level is only at thirty percent, where's Tsunade?"

"Probably off to meeting with Orochimaru…"

"What was that?"

"Opps, I said too much, but I may as well explain…I'll explain on the way! Follow me!"

"If what you say is true, then we are in serious trouble." 'I may have to kill Tsunade if she agrees.' "Let's pick up the pace!"

Outside the castle ruins, Tsunade had agreed to heal Orochimaru's arms in exchange for the revival of her lover and younger brother. However, she was emitting suppressed killing intent, which Kaburita sensed at the last second, and threw a kunai at Tsunade. Tsunade and Orochimaru leaped back.

"You would betray me?"

"Tsunade-sama was planning on killing you Orochimaru-sama. I stopped her."

"I see, thank you Kaburita."

"The kid gloves are off. Orochimaru, I am going to kill you!" Tsunade discards her jacket, and tries to slug Orochimaru, who leaps out of the way. Tsunade makes a big crater.

"I just realized, I have never fought you before, Tsunade. This will be our first fight." 'Tsunade is as strong as ever! One punch from her…'

'Would kill me!'

Chapter 10

Jirai, Shizune, Natsuki, and Hinata had arrived at the castle, to find no trace of Tsunade. 'She must have declined! But where did she go? If that crater in the wall is any indication, we just missed her! Damn it!'

"Ton-ton, see if you could sniff out Tsunade-sama!"

"Oink!"

"Hey, I found her jacket!"

"Perfect, Ton-ton?"

After sniffing the jacket, Ton-ton leads them away from the castle and to where Orochimaru and Tsunade were fighting.

They arrived just as Kaburita made herself bleed, paralyzing Tsunade.

"Kaburita? What are you doing here?"

"Baka! Obviously she is a spy! If you need proof of her allegiance, look at her hitate-ate!"

"Kaburita, it's time. Take off my bandages."

Kaburita smirks and unrolls her master's left bandage, then draws a little blood, and smears it on Orochimaru's arms. Jirai sees what they are about to do, and attempts the same thing.

"Summoning jutsu!"

Out of one cloud of smoke comes out two giant snakes, with Orochimaru and Kaburita on one each, while out of Jirai's smoke cloud comes out…Gamakichi?

"What the? Where's your father?"

"I don't know."

"Never mind…I need to use a jutsu…I know! Swamp of the Underworld!"

The jutsu was too weak, and only managed to immobilize the two snakes when it was supposed to suck them in.

"Damn it…"

Kaburita had resumed attacking Tsunade and Shizune. Natsuki and Hinata tried to stop her, but they couldn't. "Kage bunshin no jutsu!" About ten shadow clones of Natsuki appeared, but Kaburita got rid of them all in a flash, until Natsuki came out of nowhere with an incomplete Rasengan which Kaburita didn't recognize. Kaburita dodged it, and, using Chakra scalpels severed a leg tendon. Of course, Kaburita didn't notice Hinata sneak up behind her, and assumed a stance unknown to all but herself.

"Shugo Hakke Rokujyuu Yonshou!"

Before Kaburita knew what just happened, 64 of her tenketsu were closed, but she barely remained standing. Tsunade happened to look up as Natsuki made a single shadow clone then grabbed Kaburita's fist, preventing her from collapsing. The shadow clone began to spin the gathered chakra into Natsuki's right hand, forming a sphere of highly focused chakra. It was so focused, that the blue chakra had combined with her kitsune chakra making the sphere pinish in color, almost purple. "Rasengan!" Without warning, Natsuki drove the Rasengan into Kaburita. Hinata managed to dive to the side, as the jutsu managed to grind a hole through Kaburita and spun her back into a rock face.

Natsuki had collapsed backwards, but Hinata caught her, while Orochimaru complimented that she was strong, and he was beginning to understand the plans of Akatsuki. He then decided on killing her before the Akatsuki could have a chance. Jirai tried to stop her, but she was stopped as Orochimaru's long tongue wrapped around her ankle and slammed her into a rock. Orochimaru draws his kusunagi blade and aims to stab both girls through the heart, killing them. However, he is met by an unexpected obstacle, Kyuubi!

"Don't touch my kitlings!"

Kyuubi revealed herself to be really Tsunade who is stabbed dangerously near the lung.

"Tsunade, I didn't want to kill you, so why? Why did you leap in the path of my sword?"

"…"

"Fine then! If you want to die, then allow me to grant your wish!"

Orochimaru flings Tsunade over to Shizune, who is caught off guard and barely catches her. Orochimaru then moves to stab the two Genin again, but again, he is intercepted by Tsunade.

"Because, I made a bet. If Natsuki mastered the Rasengan, then I will be Gondaime Hokage!" The diamond mark on Tsunade's forehead glows in activation.

"Wait! Don't activate that seal! I can heal you!"

"Ninpo Sozo Saise!" (Genesis of Rebirth!)

At once, the diamond mark on her forehead disappears, and Tsunade's wounds-all of them, heal. In addition, all of her damaged organs regenerate.

"Gondaime, you say? You of all people should know that the job of Hokage is a piece of shit!"

"So says the man who wanted to be Yondaime."

"Grrr, Arashi took my job!"

Tsunade dabs a little blood on her palm. Jirai also dabs some of her own blood on his hand. Orochimaru leaps back to the barely awake Kaburita, who smears some of her blood on his arm. Natsuki was still unconscious, and Hinata dragged her back towards Shizune, and draws a little blood.

"Summoning jutsu!"

When four clouds of smoke clear, 4 boss summons appear: the purple cobra Manda, the giant frog boss Gamabunta, the slug queen Katsuyu, and the queen of all kitsune Kyuubi.

"Oy papa!"

"Why have you summoned me, Jirai?"

"Where's Natsuki?"

"Sigh, I expect 100 human sacrifices for this, Orochimaru."

"Tsunade…"

None of the summons noticed each other while they were talking, but they noticed each other now.

"What is this? A family reunion?"

"Sure seems like it…"

"What a troublesome situation you have summoned me into, Orochimaru."

"MMM, fresh meat."

After they got over the initial shock of seeing everyone.

"This is good! I've always wanted a snake-skin wallet…"

"In your dreams, Gamabunta. I'm going to have toad jerky!"

"…"

"…"

The battle starts when a leaf that floated down from a nearby tree hit the ground, and Katsuyu started the battle by using Zeshi Nensanagainst Manda, but Manda coiled around a rock, dodging the acid blast. Kyuubi then swiped one of its tails, creating a maelstrom around Manda.

"Gamabunta! Some oil!"

"Right!"

While Gamabunta was spitting out a stream of oil, Jirai finished his hand seals.

"Gamayo Emudan!"

The oil got hit with the Katon jutsu and created a flame breath. It appeared to have worked, but Manda molted.

"Below you!"

"I know!"

In a flash, Gamabunta drew his sword, turned around and jumped, then used a downward thrust to trap Manda's jaw on the ground. Tsunade suddenly appeared on the hilt of the blade. Orochimaru, feeling threatened, extended a long tongue at her, chocking her.

"You say with that jutsu, you can't be defeated in battle? What if I just choked you to death?"

'I'm out of chakra. Looks like I have no choice! I gotta gamble, or I'm done for!'

Summoning up what little chakra she had, she loosened Orochimaru's choke hold then, using the tongue, brought Orochimaru up, where he was met with Tsunade's fist! After the heavy blow, Tsunade repeated the gesture, until her muscles snapped. However, she wouldn't give up, and continued to pummel Orochimaru, until finally, Tsunade's last blow sent him about ten meters back, to the waiting Kaburita's open arms. Unfortunately, Orochimaru met Kaburita's breasts!

"Tsunade…you have chosen not to heal my arms, but no matter."

Tsunade and a barely conscious Natsuki panted, as all of their summons vanished. Jirai was rushing in, intent on impaling Orochimaru's forehead with a kunai.

"But I have another way to restore my arms. I'll just take a new body. THIS IS IMMORTALITY!"

Before Jirai could reach him, Orochimaru evaporated into the ground. Kaburita made some hand seals, and disappeared in a mini cloud of smoke.

"Damn it! He got away!"

Tsunade's diamond head seal reappears on her forehead, and her genjutsu undid itself, revealing her as the fifty year old woman that she really is. Natsuki sees that before she went unconscious again. The last thought that entered her head was 'She's old…'

When Natsuki was conscious again, Tsunade's necklace was around her neck. Instantly realizing what this meant, she started yelling at Tsunade.

"Tsunade-obaa-chan!"

"Don't call me old! And address me with proper respect! I am the fifth Hokage now."

"What! That means…that I mastered the Rasengan! Yeah!"

"Not quite. It's true that you can make one now, but you used a shadow clone to spin the chakra for you. Also, it looks to be stronger then mine. I've never seen a pink Rasengan…"

"Really? Then I need to train harder then ever!"

Her stomach grumbles.

"But first! Can I eat?"

"Sorry, we're about to head back to Konoha."

"What? But I can't travel on an empty stomach!"

"Fine fine, we'll make a quick stop to pick up something to eat, but then we'll go!"

So ends this two-part chapter! Should I do the Sasuke-retrieval arc next? Then again, Sasuke doesn't have the curse seal. Let me know in a review! Laterz
