Chapter XIII: Tsunade-sama and punchouts
Last time on Dragon Sage
"We accept your report and inform you that you have two days off before the funeral of our beloved Sandaime-sama." Informed Shikaku.
Naruto bowed before heading out of the council chambers.
"Just a moment Uzumaki..." A weedy voice called out
Naruto turned again "Who is it?" He called bluntly. The civilian council stiffined at the impertient manner Naruto was addressing one of the elders.
"I'm Elder Shimura Danzo, I'm curious about this Dragon Contract...Well I'm not curious but I'm demanding that you hand over the contract to the young Uchiha Sasuke."
Naruto's eyes turned shining gold with a hint of bloodlust coming from the Kyuubi seeping out. "Okay, if you order the clans to hand over several of their most prized techniques." He responded coldly.
The shinobi council reacted in several ways, the Kurama and Hyuuga clan heads responded sharply and harshly with cries of 'Preposterous' whilst the other clans smirked as they recognised the ploy the Dragon summoner had used.
"I'd never ask our noble clans to do such a thing." Wheezed Danzo, this brat was grating on him, oh how he wished he could use Uchiha Shisui's implanted eye but at this moment the genes of the Shodaime hokage were just settling in.
"You will do what Elder Danzo commands brat." Ordered Homura, though secretly deep down and he wouldn't reveal it under protest he believed that the young Uchiha was too unstable and ill suited for the powers that the Kyuubi holder had at its disposal.
"I'll surrender it, if the Uchiha can summon a whelp and it bows to him and accepts him." Replied Naruto, "Game set." "Game matched." The dragon king and fox thought.
Sasuke entered the council chamber to a standing innovation on the defeat of the Ichibi no Shukaku "Uchiha Sasuke, the civilian council with the backing of the shinobi council have managed to get you the dragon contract."
Naruto smirked evilly, swung the contract roughly into the Uchiha's body causing him to stumble. "Write your name in either the lightning or fire dragon caste's based on your affinities." Naruto advised.
Sasuke shrugged him off, opened the scroll and signed his name to the most powerful dragon caste the cast of the five elemental release. "I, Inu, Tori, Saru, Hitsuji KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU!"
Their was a puff of smoke and out of the smoke, nothing appeared. "BRAT! WHAT DID YOU DO TO SASUKE-SAMA!" Screamed one of the civilian council.
Naruto smiled draconically, when he saw the out cold Uchiha. "Idiot, I told him to sign his natural affinities." With that he picked up his scroll, winked at Haku and the pair vanished in shimmer of ice.
Naruto and Haku arrived back at his apartment, too find Jiraiya sitting his couch. "Kids, I need to borrow Naruto, I'm taking him to find the godaime." Said Jiraiya.
"Not interested to be honest, I'd rather work on training my other elements and summonings." Replied Naruto.
"What if I told you, I had a personnel jutsu for you? A variant that I made based off your fathers." Jiraiya countered the a grin.
"Naruto-kun, go on...Go save the leaf."
Soon enough within ten minutes Jiraiya and Naruto departed the village. Nartuo takng very few of his possessions mainly his scroll and a few changes of clothes.
"Where are we going?" Asked Naruto curiously.
"We're going to find the new hokage, She should be in Tanzaku town. Don't worry on the way you'll learn a few jutsu." Said Jiraiya.
"What!" Exclaimed Naruto getting a belly laugh from the toad sage.
"Thought you were ready to be Hokage? Not yet kid...Four years or so, you'll make a good rokudaime or nanadaime hokage." Explained Jiraiya causing Naruto to face vault.
That night the pair set up for the night Jiraiya handed Naruto two water balloons. "Rotate the water with your chakra until they pop, like so." With that the water balloons detonated in a pattern of multicoloured shapes.
Naruto nodded and grabbed the water balloons and began to spin them. Jiriaya stopped Naruto after half an hour and forced him to sleep. Naruto that night had possibly one of the best nights sleep ever.
The next morning the duo were back on the road again, Naruto swore violently as he couldn't detonate the balloon. "Kid, how many ways are you spinning your chakra on both balloons? What way does your chakra spin?" Asked Jiraiya.
"I don't know. I wasn't exactly allowed in the majority of my lessons." Replied Naruto somewhat sullenly.
Jiraiya nodded, dodged back to his young companion and slammed his hand down on the boys head. "Spinning in five directions, you need to spin it in one. And spin your chakra to the left." Jiraiya instructed.
Naruto did as instructed and soon enough the balloons popped, turning Naruto's hands wet. Jiraiya handed him another two balloons and Naruto repeated the process.
The stack of water balloons dwindled down to nothing. "Before I teach you the second step of this technique, form the first stage now." He ordered.
Naruto concentrated on the feeling of the first stage and the spinning shell of the technique bloomed into existance in both hands. Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction. "Could be faster, but that'll come with time. Rubber balls this time, full power to rip it." He instructed.
Naruto channeled his power into it and nothing. By the now the duo had almost reached Tanzaku town. "Isn't this place a gambling city?"
"Correct gaki, by teamate Tsunade is known as the 'Legendary Sucker'. She's going to be the Godaime Hokage, however she has debts as large as her assests and will probably take flight if she ever catches wind that we're coming for her." Explained Jiraiya.
Meanwhile in a little bar in Tanzaku, a large breasted blonde haired woman placed a Sake bottle down. Her companion a small dark haired woman clutched a pig wearing a set pearls. "Lady Tsunade, please I think you have had enough to drink."
"Shizune, don't tell me what to do." Growled Tsunade as she drained yet another bottle of Sake.
Then the door opened as Jiraiya and Naruto both entered. "Ero-Jiraiya, is that them? Four in from door, five across?" Naruto asked curiously. Ever since Naruto discovered Jiraiya wrote the Icha Icha books, he started calling the man 'Ero-Sannin' but Jiriaya had quickly proven himself to be a somewhat decent teacher hence 'Ero-Jiraiya.'
Jiraiya couldn't complain about the second name, as it was better than the first. He quickly agreed if he decided to teach Naruto more and less peeping Naruto would consider the suffix 'Sensei.'
"Yup, that's them. Let's pray we're lucky." The toad sage said as the pair made their way over.
"Hey, Tsunade-hime." Called Jiraiya as they walked over.
Tsunade and Shizune looked up and paled as they saw the infamous Toad Sage walk over with another person.
"Jiraiya, I had a feeling you'd turn up. Meeting up with both team mates in one day can't be a coincidence." Growled Tsunade softly. "What is it you two?"
"The council wants you instated as the Godaime, Tsunade-sama." Stated the blonde, he was blunt and polite both things Tsunade appreciated.
"Thanks but no thanks...Sarutobi-sensei is still alive isn't he?" She asked, though deep down when she had met with Orochimaru, he had a gleam in his eyes that she remembered that he got in the second shinobi war whenever he killed someone.
"Sarutobi-sensei is dead...Orochimaru ran him through with Kusanagi...But lost his arms in the process." Said Jiraiya sadly.
"Who's the runt?" Asked Tsunade bluntly clearly indicating Naruto, who bristled under the insult but after months of training with Progenitus and the Kyuubi on insults and not listening to them paid off.
"Uzumaki Naruto, my apprentice you could say." Said Jiraiya, giving Naruto a pleading look as in 'Please back me up'.
"Yeah, Jiraiya-sensei is my teacher. Temporarily at least, he's been helping me get control of some learning difficulties and reinforcing the basics on me. Said if I could get them to a suitable level and my jutsu the same, he'd build up on that." Commented Naruto, catching the younger girls interest.
"I'm Kato Shizune, Tsunade-sama's apprentice. What do you mean the basics and difficulties?" Asked Shizune curiously.
"Dyslexic, ADHD, Chakra control, reading and writing...Kinda need to improve them, if I'm going to become Hokage. Oh and chakra control some more complex ones." Stated Naruto making Shizune smile and understand.
"At least he's not turning you into a pervert." She said giggling making Naruto grin.
"Haku-chan would give me frostbite of the decade, if he even dared."
"I'M NOT GOING BACK JIRAIYA! EVERYONE WHO HAS TAKEN THAT POSITION IS A FOOL AND HAS DIED!" Screamed Tsunade at Jiraiya who recoiled just outside of his former teamates arm length.
"Oi, grandma...I understand the concerns but I'm not going to sit here and listen to you slag off the role of Hokage." Snarled Naruto.
"Fuck, kid...We're in it now." Both the blondes tenants commented together before glowering at each other. The dragon and fox had come to mutual agreement to despise each other but to help their tenant when he needs it.
"All right brat, outside right now...You need to learn to respect your elders." Growled Tsunade the sake flooding her system making her intolerant to the disrespect of the blonde punk.
The group made their way outside "Punk, I quite like you. I'll make this interesting if you can land a blow on me, I'll become the Godaime and I'll chuck this necklace in. If not well, you can hand over your wallet."
Naruto nodded reluctantly "You'll have to get my wallet of the pervert...Nicked it, fucking bastardo." Jiraiya gulped.
"Lady Tsunade, you can't risk the necklace. You said that was the most important thing you ever had and would never part with it due to its curse." Exclaimed Shizune.
Naruto set himself in the stance of the wind dragon, "I won't need a hand to fight to you. I'll destroy you with a finger." Stated Tsunade, holding up one finger.
Naruto desperately tried to control his temper but it snapped. He charged forwards intent on a full frontal assault. Tsunade grinned and jabbed said finger to the ground.
The ground ruptured like an earthquake hit it, but Naruto avoided it his hand began to spin an orb of chakra "RASENGAN!" Tsunade dodged the attack and went to poke the genin but broke a wooden log instead.
"DUAL RASENGAN!" Naruto shouted but he left himself wide open, the attack faltered the spheres flickered and shimmered and dissolved into nothingness. Tsunade dodged them and with one flick of her finger sent the boy flying down the street, into a wall to end up compacted inside a garbage skip outside of a restaurant.
"Jiraiya, you imbecile...Teaching him your variation of THAT technique...WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" Growled Tsunade at her former team mate.
"He's his kid. Hime, anyway lets get a drink for old times sake and you can tell me what Orochimaru promised you. Be warned if you think that Orochimaru will fulfill his end of the bargain I WILL kill you." Warned Jiraiya, the KI lacing his voice showing Tsunade why he was the strongest in terms of raw power out of the Sannin.
With that the Slug and Toad summoners headed off to the bar. Shizune quickly joined them as she had put Naruto on a bed. "Shizune, the brat has a week to learn the dual rasengan."
Shizune nodded "I'll tell him when he wakes up." With that she left the two sannin leaving them to reminisce about old times.
"I have week to decide Jiraiya. One week to decide Jiraiya. What do I do?" Asked Tsunade more to herself than anybody else.
Unbeknownst to Jiraiya, Tsunade had slipped a paralysis drug into the mans drink. She had made up her mind, ever since Orochimaru said he could bring her former lover and brother back, she knew Orochimaru had to die.
Meanwhile Naruto jerked awake "What happened to me?" He slurred only to find Shizune sitting next to his bed.
"Naruto-kun, you're awake! I need to have a quick word with you." Shizune said.
"What about?" He asked curiously tying his headband on bandana style for once.
"Tsunade-sama, changed the deal. If you can learn the dual rasengan in a week she'll give you her necklace and become Hokage."
Naruto nodded "I accept."
"You can't! Everyone she's given the necklace has died because they want the same goal...Hokage...Plus the necklace could by you three mountains and several gold mines." Pleaded Shizune.
"I can't go back on my word. That's my nindo and ninja way." Explained Naruto before grabbing his scroll and headed out.
