"Then maybe you shouldn't become Hokage. Damn, Kono-fucking-hamaru, a six year old, has a better fucking attitude than this bitch, Jiraiya. Please remind me why you wasted my time by dragging me along with you?" Naruto said, switching from talking to Tsunade to Jiraiya easily.
"What would you know brat? You know nothing of losing loved ones, of watching them die and knowing that you cou,d have saved them had you been there sooner!" Tsunade said, her tone sad and angry, and her breath stank is sake. Naruto's eyes froze, turning a crystal blue as they glared at Tsunade, and as the older woman stared into the ice blue orbs of the Nine Tails Jinchurikki, she couldn't help the involuntary shiver that raced down her spine.
"You're right Tsunade-sama." He said, his tone mocking as he said her name, and she flinched when he leaned back, his glare not weakening in the slightest, his new position only making him look more disapproving.
"I don't know what it's like because I don't have any family related by blood. I never knew my father, nor the woman who birthed me. I could very well not be an Uzumaki, that could just be a name I was given because someone thought I might bring the once fears tricking name justice. I wouldn't know what if would feel like to watch a loved one die because I don't fucking have one. Go on, have your fucking pity party, but I sure as hell won't be giving you any pity, because you sure as fuck don't deserve it. You grew up with parents, a loving grandpa, a caring sensei, and two teammates who didn't formerly not care about you. I dont have any of that, and the cherry one top is that I'm pretty sure you had a brother. I'd fucking kill to have a sibling for five minutes, and if they died I'd cherish the limited time I'd had with them. You? You act as if your life is some fucking sob story, like you just pulled the shortest ass stick of them all. Jiraiya, I'm going to the hotel, I don't have time to deal with this bullshit." Naruto stood up, bowed to Shizune, the pretty side kick of Lady Tsunade's, and then left the bar, not caring to look back.
"Hey brat! You get the fuck back here!" He heard Tsunade Senju yell at his back, and he turned to glare at her.
"What?" His voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes were the color to match, but Tsunade had apparently taken another swig of sake, as she only grinned lazily right back at him.
"Tell you what. You beat me in a fight, and not only will I become Hokage, but I'll give you this necklace." She said as she lifted up the jewel that was held up by the black string tied around her neck. It looked expensive, and as Naruto looked it over he nodded before motioning outside. Tsunade nodded and stood up, her steps slightly shaky as she walked outside behind Naruto, who didn't spare her a glance as he made his way outside.
When Jiraiya, Shizune and TonTon were standing beside the door of the bar they'd just exited and Naruto and Tsunade stood opposite each other, facing the other as they prepared themselves.
"I bet I can defeat you with one finger!" Tsunade said cockily, a smug, drunken smirk set firmly upon her face. Her brown eyes looked at him, emotion swirling in their depths as she stared into his seemingly frozen eyes, his face set like stone.
"GO!" Shizune yelled reluctantly on the sidelines, clutching TonTon like a lifeline. Tsunade just stood there, and Naruto frowned as he thought over his position. Tsunade most likely wouldn't be moving from her spot anytime soon so that left him to come up with a plan fast. As one hit him all of a sudden, he grinned before running forward, bones bursting from his arms and the outside of his legs. He made bone from his shoulders surround his skull somewhat for head protection as he went in, and he immediately realized that Tsunade was shocked by his move.
His grin growing as he moved closer, Tsunade snapped out of her trance just in time to avoid Naruto's punch and try hitting him with her finger, but he dodged and threw a side kick towards her mid-section, causing her to block with her right arm and try tapping his ankle before he retracted his leg, but Naruto was quick enough to prevent the move. As Naruto spun around her she dropped and did a semi-circle, aiming to kick Naruto's legs out from underneath him. It worked, and if it weren't for the fact that he immediately jumped onto his hand to flip away she would have gotten him to the ground like she'd wanted.
"STOP MOVING YA DAMN BRAT!"
"I never understood why people asked their enemies that. Like, seriously, did you think think that I'd just stop and let myself get defeated because you asked me to?" Naruto replied back, and Tsunade froze in mid-motion to think it over, her finger right in front of Naruto's face. He immediately used her distraction to his advantage and back-flipped away, which caused her to realize that he'd gotten away.
"FUCKING HELL YOU BRAT!" She yelled at him, and he raised his eyebrow at her.
"Is that the only insult you and Jiraiya can think up on the spot? Wow, such ingenuity for two of the great Sannin, I'm so very impressed." Naruto said mockingly, and Tsunade's eyebrow twitched at his mockery of her person. She growled as she ran towards him, and his eyes widened at her rage. Shit!, he thought as he thought of what he could do to stall the angered woman rushing towards him, and he dodged to the side as she finally got close enough to try and punch him, but the bone along his right arm were mostly shattered, leaving jagged pieces poking out barely. His eyes widened, and instinctively he created a Shadow Clone to take care of Tsunade whle he though up what to do, and not a second later Tsunade destroyed his clone, but he'd already figured out his next step.
As she destroyed the ground in between them as she rushed at him he got into a crouched stance and held his right hand with his left, sending chakra into his arm, nearly distracting himself with the beauty of the Rasengan in his hand before he snapped out of his fascination of the swirling, bright blue color, running towards Tsunade, causing the distance to close in an instance. As Tsunade's fist rushed for Naruto's face Naruto's Rasengan rushed at her arm to stop her.
The Rasengan hit Tsunade's arm just as her fist hit Naruto's face, and while Tsunade's hand was blown behind her, dislocating it, Naruto was sent flying back, dirt and dust flying up as he passed them by at high speeds. He crashed into a building, and the shock of the feeling hit him like a ton of bricks, causing him to fall unconscious as his body flew through the wood of the old, rotting building.
The Next Morning
"Fucking hell." Narut muttered as he woke up groggily, not caring enough to open his eyes, for all he cared about in that moment was the fact that he was warm and that he wasn't dying or already there.
"I'm sorry about Tsunade-sama. I didn't think she'd go that hard on you, but you did give her a rather good fight." Said Shizune as she sat down beside Naruto, a platter of mint tea in hand. Naruto had smelled the calming scent as soon as he'd woken up, and so when Shizune sat him up in his bed he happily accepted the drink, gulping it down despite the heat of the fluid.
"Thank you Shizune. The only thing I'm sorry about was that I couldn't beat Tsunade, but then again she is a Sannin, so I guess I should have known better. The tea was good by the way, but next time you should put a bit more sugar or honey in it, I like my tea sweet if you don't mind me saying." Naruto said as he took off the bandages wrapped around his eyes and forehead, ignoring the protesting of Shizune while doing so.
"See? I'm already healed due to my special condition that I'm pretty sure you are aware of, and if not, than Tsunade is most likely knowledgeable of my inner companion so you can ask her." He said as he moved the bandages to the side, standing up from the bed before stretching.
"U-uh, N-Naruto? Y-you're n-naked..." Shizune stuttered from behind Naruto, and as he turned to give her his infamous 'and why should I care?' look, she looked down and blushed even more, immediately excusing herself with the tray of tea as she moved away from the naked teen. Shrugging off her behavior, Naruto walked around in all his naked glory to find his clothes, and the sight of him, crouched, looking under his bed was the sight that greeted Shizune when she stepped into the room again to give Naruto his freshly washed clothes, and she immediately started blushing before throwing Naruto's clothes onto his head, hastily leaving the room with her hands clutching her cheeks.
Again, Naruto had no idea what she had been thinking or why she'd reacted that way, so she just shrugged and got dressed, deciding to forgo a shirt for the day and, instead of his regular shorts, he put on a pair of light, yet slightly baggy, black cargo pants. On his feet were black ninja sandals, and around his neck was his Hidden Leaf hitai-ate. After he stretched a bit more he left the room, and as soon as he opened the door he smelled the rice cooking, although they didn't have much of a scent, and his stomach grumbled in response.
He quickly followed his nose to where Shizune was cooking, and as he sat down at the table she showed up with a medium sized bowl of rice, a medium bowl of miso soup, and the drink was mint tea.
"Thank you." Naruto said before digging in, not watching his eating habits. Shizune's eyes widened as she took in his horrible habit, and she immediately smacked the back of his head.
"OW! What'd ya do that for?" Naruto asked in a loud tone.
"Straighten your back." Naruto looked at the woman and frowned, which resulted in her smacking him on the head again.
"Straighten your back." This time Naruto listened, and he was rewarded with a bright smile from Shizune. Said woman then took a seat across from him and, after getting her own dishes set up, she looked over to him.
"O.k. when you eat, I don't want you to slouch, and I certainly do not want you eating like a wild beast." So that whole morning Shizune taught Naruto table etiquette, and he remembered everything for the most part, and it was around that time that Jiraiya and Tsunade came in, both grumpy looking and definitely not in their highest spirits.
"About time you woke up brat! You've been sleeping for two days now!" Jiraiya said when he noticed that Naruto was awake. I was asleep for that long?
"Of course you were blondie. If it weren't for me you'd still be out of service." Naruto's eyes widened when he heard the Kyubi's voice echo in his mind, but quickly made his eyes go back to normal before he stood up to help Shizune clean the dishes, something she'd told him was polite and what you did for girls you liked. What he didn't notice was her blush when she realized that he was helping her, but she then forced herself back on the dishes she was scrubbing after some mental coaxing. He doesn't like like you Shizune, he's way to naive for that, she told herself mentally as she cleaned out a bowl, pondering anything and everything that she could but the blonde teen that stood beside her, drying and putting away the dishes.
"Naruto, come with me." Jiraiya said as he walked up to his pupil, and Naruto only shrugged with a nod before leaving with him. Tsunade shook her head and yelled at Shizune for some sake, and said assistant sighed sadly and listened, all the while TonTon lay on Shizune's bed asleep, apparently undisturbed even with all the noise that had just surrounded him.
Sup guys! So, there are about two to three chapters left for this fanfic, and I just have to say I'm so thankful to you all for your support, as it means a lot to me! I hope you all have a great night!
Chow for Now! Peace:)
