You're as young as you feel.

Author's Note: This one is in the exact same day as the previous chapter. They are connected. Read that one first. Oh, and I'll get some seriousness up soon. Maybe in the next chapter, or the next.

You're as Young as You Feel

(But not look.)


Tsunade woke up late on a day that she had preferred not come. It was a day that meant she was even older. The woman looked as young as twenty. She had the strength and agility of a twenty-year-old. Tsunade didn't feel young, though. In the bottom of her heart, she hoped to high heavens that everyone forgot their beloved hokage's birthday.

When Tsunade came into her office, she immediately reached into her desk for a bottle of sweet sake. That bottle was empty.

"If there is a birthday party, or celebration, or whatever there is, there better be some sake there."

At lunch, she decided to take herself a break. She let Shizune take over for her as she went to eat and drink up. She only planned on being gone for fifteen minutes. No more. All hell was unleashed in her office those short fifteen minutes.

The day had gone by slowly after that. Around six, she had a meeting with a feudal lord concerning the economical drop that was steadily happening.

Tsunade approached the building and stepped inside. She was greeted with a loud, "Happy Birthday, Great-Grandma-Tsunade!" She swore if that feudal lord and a lot of sake wasn't in the building, she would kill.


You're as young as you feel.
