Battlefield
3 of the 4 Yonnin and Daichi atop the 4 great beast's head's. Tsunade had a slug which Naruto laid on, Orochimaru a purple snake, Jiraiya was on Gamabunta, and Daichi was atop the Great Beast King.
Gamabunta said, "Katsuyu and Tsunade, Orochimaru and Manda, and The Beast King. All we're missing is Kazamae and we'd have a full reunion, but 7 of us isn't so bad."
"Lord Orochimaru, Why have you dragged me here? You know I do not like being summoned. Maybe I should just eat you and be done with it." Manda stated.
Kabuto, a little scared, said, "Please don't Lord Manda. You'll be well rewarded for your trouble, don't worry."
"Who do you think you're talking to you little bug? What would the likes of you have that I could want?" Manda sighed. "Orochimaru, when this is over, I'll expect 100 human sacrifices."
Tsunade said, "Katsuyu, please look after the boy. Take him to Shizune, quickly."
"Yes my lady. At once." Katsuyu stated.
Katsuyu produced a smaller version of herself that landed before a battle ready Shizune. "Shizune, please look after the boy."
Shizune nodded her head. "Right." She took Naruto's body and slung him over her shoulder. "Let's take him somewhere safe."
Daichi got to his feet after recovering a little from the summoning. "You haven't said anything Beast King. What are you thinking?"
The Beast King said, "Just taking a look at the battle I'm presented with. I must say that you've been giving me a lot of chances to fight."
"So that means you'll fight? Glad to hear it. I'll do my best to assist you if I can." Daichi stated.
The Beast King, with concern evident in his voice, said, "Just make sure you're careful Kit. You may not think this of me, but I protect my family. You and Kazamae are apart of it, so I will do everything I can to protect you."
Daichi smiled. "Thank you Beast King."
Jiraiya said, "Orochimaru, you're no longer fit to be a Yonnin. Your evil days are finally at an end."
"One of us." Orochimaru laughed. "What an insult."
"After today, there will be one less Yonnin in the world." Tsunade stated.
"You attacked my village. Because of you, many lives were lost. You're going down." Daichi stated.
"Oh, big talk from someone who was so afraid of me, that he could barley fight the last time we met." Orochimaru stated while laughing once more.
Everything was silent. You could hear the wind blowing. This only lasted a few moments before Katsuyu made her move.
"Acid Slime." Katsuyu declared.
Manda moved out of the way and the slug's slime hit a rock.
He then moved in and wrapped himself around Katsuyu. "I'll start with you."
Gamabunta rushed at Manda from the right while The Beast King rushed in from the left. Manda managed to catch the chief toad's sword with his teeth, but this left him wide open for an attack from the lion. The Beast King dug into Manda with his claws causing him to let go of Katsuyu.
Manda now swung his tail. He hit The Beast King forcing him back a few feet before swinging his tail at Gamabunta, who was now able to dodge it, but at the cost of losing his sword.
Manda followed up his attack by flinging the sword at Gamabunta. The toad managed to avoid it Gamabunta's sword, and the sword embedded itself right before Katsuyu.
"Tsunade, keep back! Daichi, get out of there." Jiraiya exclaimed.
The Beat King jumped clean over Manda and landed next to Katsuyu.
Jiraiya made some hand signs. "Time for some oil Bunta."
"You got it." Gamabunta stated.
Jiraiya spit fire, and Gamabunta spit oil. Together it created one, giant fire ball. The fire seemed to engulf Manda until it was revealed that the snake had shed its skin. The ground began to shake below the toad.
Manda's tail came up from the ground, but Bunta managed to stop it. This left him wide open for Manda to strike him with his fangs. At least, that would have been the case if the Beast King's hadn't appeared and slammed his claws down on its head.
He even made sure to did his claws into the snake's head. Daichi then noticed Tsunade who was coming through the air wielding Gamabunta's sword.
"Great Beast King, Move!" Daichi exclaimed.
The lion jumped back, and Tsunade pointed the sword down before Manda could recover. He was stabbed in the head which kept him in place. Orochimaru and Kabuto had jumped away from the head landing on the snake's body.
Orochimaru thought, "Fighting one Yonnin would be hard enough, but two of them and that beast..."
Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue in an attempt to capture Tsunade, but Daichi reacted quickly with some hand signs. "Fusion Clone Jutsu."
A clone of a Demon Brother appeared right in Orochimaru's tongue's way. He prepared to cut the tongue with his claws, but Orochimaru wrapped him up and threw him to the side.
This gave Tsunade the chance to jump into the air and grab the tongue. Tsunade landed on the ground and pulled the Snake Yonnin right to her. She then punched the Yonnin in his face.
This sent him flying, but Tsunade wasn't done yet. She kept a hold of that tongue and punched him into the air. She followed suit and threw a flurry of punches. Orochimaru headed straight for the ground while Tsunade landed on the sword.
The Slug Yonnin then grabbed Orochimaru's tongue and pulled him back in for another punch, but she missed.
"No, I'm starting to run low on strength." Tsunade thought worriedly.
Orochimaru seized his chance and wrapped Tsunade up with his tongue dragging her to the ground with him. Orochimaru produced a sword from his mouth, as he landed. Tsunade landed on the blade and kicked Orochimaru. She then followed up with another flurry of punches.
"I keep pounding and pounding him,, but I'm getting nowhere!" Tsunade thought.
She punched him into the air and landed a kick in mid air sending the snake flying. He landed on his feet while Tsunade collected her breath.
She then coated her hand in Chakra and walked over to Orochimaru. "No matter. This will finish it."
Tsunade finally stood before Orochimaru. "Give my regards to hell."
She punched Orochimaru, in the face, which sent him straight in the sword. He fell right back onto Manda.
Kabuto thought, "He took the full force of that insane strength."
Jiraiya said, "It's over."
Gamabunta said, "Yeah."
Daichi let out a sigh of relieve as he fell to his butt on top of the Great Beast King. "That was intense."
Manda, agitated, stated, "He made me clumsy and careless. I'd eat you both right now, but I won't be swallowing solid foods for weeks thanks to this hole in my mouth. You better hope we don't meet again."
Manda dispersed and Tsunade fell to her knees panting. The smoke cleared and everyone was shocked to see that Orochimaru was standing though he was clearly injured.
Orochimaru looked right at Tsunade. "So, you refuse to heal my arms do you? No matter, there is another way, and I will destroy The Leaf Village. You can depend on it.
I hope we all meet again when I once more walk among you." Orochimaru sank into the ground. "When I return with The Elixir of Life, I'll show you all what it means to be truly immortal."
"Daichi, you and Naruto will see me again." Kabuto stated before making hand signs that led to him vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Some Time Later…
Tsunade, Daichi, and Jiraiya joined up with Shizune and Naruto who was resting peacefully.
Daichi made some signs. "Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Those who were awake, turned to see what Daichi was doing. He and his clone formed the Rasengan and thrust it into the ground.
"Sorry about that, had to show you that I could perform the jutsu as well." Daichi explained.
Jiraiya smiled. "Tsunade, you never could recognize a fools bet when you saw it."
Tsunade stated, "No more first name's Jiraiya. You know what you have to call me now. For now, we'll head back to the village and rest. Once Naruto's recovered, we'll head back to the Leaf Village."
Tsunade took out a scroll and tossed it to Daichi. "The contents of that sealing scroll should be a fitting prize. It contains arm guards that store up to halve your Chakra. Should come in hand if you find yourself in a tough spot."
Daichi smiled as he put the scroll away. "Thank you Lord 5th Hokage. I'll make sure to put them to good use."
Restaurant, A Day Later…
Naruto shouted, "You're the 5th Hokage?!" Tsunade nodded her head and Naruto began to sulk. "Unbelievable, I'm out for a few minutes and wake up to find that she's the Hokage."
Daichi put his arm around his friend and smiled. "Trust me Naruto, she's more than fit for the job. You should have seen the way she fought."
Naruto sighed, "I suppose."
"Come on man, you need to cheer up. We're heading home after a successful mission." Daichi added.
Naruto laughed and slung his arm over his friend as well. "I guess you're right."
The two stood and spoke in unison. "Let's hit the road!"
They began to walk off and the others got and followed suit. It was time to return to the Leaf Village.
Omake: Hot Spring Adventure
Outside a Hot Spring Town
The group had been on the road for a few days now when Tsunade noticed a sign for a hot spring.
Jiraiya asked, "A hot spring?"
Tsunade replied, "That's right, It's just up the road here. There's a sweet little town with a beautiful hot spring."
Shizune was reading from a pamphlet. "Hot Spring Resort. It says here that hot springs promote health and beauty."
Daichi said, "Sounds like a good idea to me. We could all use a rest after that whole ordeal with Orochimaru."
Tsunade smiled. "That settles it then."
Naruto sighed. "Alright, so long as it's just a day."
The group made their way up the road.
With the Men
Naruto did a canon ball into the spring while Daichi walked in and sat down. The water felt great. Naruto began to swim.
"I can't say I'm having much fun so far. It's just me and them. When's the next bathing going to start?"
With Tsunade and Shizune
The two women left the springs so Tsunade could gamble. Two figures watched them go and turned to each other nodding there heads.
Back with the Men
Naruto and Daichi walked to the door.
Naruto said, "That's enough for us. You coming?"
Jiraiya replied, "Not yet. I'm going to soak a little longer."
Heading into the Room
Naruto and Daichi were wearing robes as Daichi opened the door.
"I'll admit, that that felt great!" Naruto stated contently.
"I knew it would." Daichi said.
Naruto and Daichi were immediately shocked and yelled when they say that the room had had been ransacked. They immediately checked their bags. Daichi found that his scroll with arm guards, sword, and wallet were still with his things.
Naruto checked his bag. "The necklace I won from Grandma Tsunade is gone!"
Daichi spotted a note on a door. "This note says that if you want it back you'll have to pay the money you owe to the Agagi Family. They'll be waiting at the three ceders, on the hill, outside of town."
"But I don't owe anyone money." Naruto exclaimed.
Daichi calmly stated, "Calm down Naruto. Let's get dressed and head where this note tells us to go. We'll get to the bottom of what's happening."
The Hill
The two friends stood on the hill and Naruto yelled, "Agagi Family! I'm here! Come out already!"
Two men showed their faces from behind two one of the trees. One was slim while the other was chunky.
"What do you want kid?" The slim one asked.
The two men walked forward to meet with Naruto and Daichi.
Daichi put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "I want you to stay calm Naruto. If we have to make a move, I'll give signal."
Naruto sighed. "Yeah, ok."
Daichi now addressed the two men. "So that necklace you took belongs to my friend here."
The slim one took it out and the two men looked at it surprised.
The slim one said, "Did we get it wrong?"
"That necklace did belong to the Yonnin Tsunade, but my friend won it from her in a bet. It's his necklace." Daichi continued.
The two men immediately rushed forward and fell to there knees in front of Naruto. The chunkier one gave Naruto back his necklace.
The slim one said, "We beg your forgiveness. Lady Tsunade owes our family some money." They took out a piece of paper and handed it to Daichi. "That is an I.O.U. she gave us since she was broke when she lost in out village."
Naruto and Daichi looked over the note and were complete dumb founded when they saw just how much she owed. "Whoa, that's a lot of zeros!"
"My name is Senta and my companion is Bunzo. More than 3 years ago we were sent to collect the debt by our family." Senta explained.
Bunzo added, "We've been on the road for 3 long years searching for her, but no one seemed to know where she was."
"At last we managed to get some solid information that said she was heading for this village." Senta finished.
Naruto said, "I get it. That's when we came along with Grandma Tsunade."
Daichi said, "So you set this who thing up because you've probably heard all kinds of things on how tough she is and figured you couldn't just ask her for the money which is why you stole the necklace in hopes of trading it for the money she owes you."
"We just want so badly to return home. Our families are waiting for us. You two know her so well, could you ask her to give us our money?" Senta begged.
Naruto smiled. "Ok, and I have the perfect plan. You two could send another letter and pretended to kidnap us. That's bound to get the…"
Daichi sighed and hung his head. "We're not doing that Naruto. All three of you are going to follow me as we search for her. Once we find her, you can tell her about your story, and I'm sure she'll help you."
"Oh fine, but I still think my plan would have worked." Naruto relented.
Senta and Bunzo said, "Thank you young friends."
"Now, from the time we've spent on the road, I know she likes to have tea around this time. Let's start our search at the tea houses."
Tea House, Some Time Later…
Fortunately, the town didn't have many tea houses, so it didn't take the group to long before they found her talking with a man who they later found out was named Jirocho. They explained the situation.
Tsunade said, "So that's what this about. You should know that I paid that debt off a year ago."
The men were surprised. "What?!"
Jirocho pulled out a letter showing it to the two men. "It's true. In fact, I was given orders that should I see you I was to tell you to come home."
Naruto smiled nervously."Good thing we didn't go through all that trouble I was planning."
Leaving the Town, Evening…
The whole group, including Jiraiya, stood ready to leave. Jiraiya was murmuring something about monkeys, sumo wrestlers, old women, and a mixed bath.
Senta bowed his head to the two Genin. "We thank you Daichi and Naruto for being understanding. We'd also like to thank you for helping us."
Daichi waved it off. "No problem. Just make sure that if you ever have to do this again, you at least visit your home from time to time. I don't think you're leader's going to mind it if you do."
Senta and Bunzo waved and both said, "We will, and thank you again."
Naruto and Daichi waved back as they left.
