Chapter 54: Back to Konoha
Sometime later..
Tsunade could not get to Konoha faster. If she was not within its walls soon then she would commit murder. While she enjoyed a bit of childish behavior, Naruto was taking it too far. He kept asking her to teach him something. He had a valid point to want to learn something from her. He had a technique from Orochimaru and the toad summoning contract from Jiraiya. She would have gladly taught him something if he wasn't so annoying.
"Please, please, please, please, please," Naruto said on and on. He had been doing that for the past hour. How the hell could he keep that going for so long? After the hundredth 'please', Tsunade snapped. Naruto found himself flying fifty feet from a finger flick. Naruto groaned while Tsunade picked him up by his coat.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!!! YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!!!" Tsunade shouted.
"I WOULD STOP IF YOU WOULD JUST TEACH ME SOMETHING, YOU OLD BAT!" Naruto shouted back. Shizune, Angel and Jiraiya looked on with sweatdrops coming down the back of their heads.
"This could take a while." Keena muttered.
"No kidding." Sasuke agreed, the couple's eyes darting to and fro between the arguing parties.
Tsunade sighed and set the blond down on the ground.
"Look, you don't have the skill to do any of my techniques. My techniques require the top notch chakra control which you don't have." Tsunade explained.
"Oh come on, you mean to tell me that you don't have one technique for me. What about that seal thing on your forehead?"
"We've been over this. I'm not going to teach you that technique."
"Come on, you've got to have something?" Naruto whined. Tsunade sighed and pinched her nose. That's when something clicked. That could work for him seeing that he loved to prank people.
"All right brat, I have something you can do. That pervert tells me that you created a Transformation that almost looks real." Tsunade said.
"You mean the Sexy Technique?" Naruto asked. Then he got a fearful look in his eyes. "You aren't going to punish me are you?"
"Only a little but I will teach you my Transformation if you promise not to use it again." Tsunade said sweetly.
"What's so special about your Transformation? Granted, it's pretty sweet but how will that help me?" Naruto questioned.
"Think for a second Naruto, when we fought, didn't you realize that my Transformation didn't fall once?" Tsunade asked. Naruto thought about it and did realize that her youthful image never did fall when she was attacked. Thinking about it some more, it would be great for pranks. He turned his attention back to her.
"So if I refuse to use the Sexy Technique any more, you'll show me your Transformation?" Naruto asked.
"That's the deal." Tsunade said. It took all of five seconds before Naruto took her hand and shook it.
"All right then, let's being learning a jutsu." Naruto cheered. Tsunade smiled while Jiraiya was crying about the deal.
"Wow, guess we both don't have to send him across town with our summons anymore." Angel told her fellow Guardian who smirked.
Hinata was once again standing at the gates of Konoha. She had been there since Naruto left on his mission. She was worried about him since there was no word about how his mission was going. She kept worrying that he was in trouble or causing trouble. Sighing, she turned to go back home when a voice rang out.
"Shut up about the Sexy Technique! Ero-Sannin! Baba's technique is much better!" That was Naruto's voice. She turned back around and saw Naruto arguing with that white haired man from before. Behind them, the rest of the group just watched in amusement. Her heart swelled when she saw him.
"Stop being so stupid, that technique is a work of genius! Why would you give that up?" Jiraiya cried.
"Oh would you just..."
"Naruto-kun!" the voice exclaimed. Naruto turned and had the wind knocked out of him. He looked down and saw a mess of raven hair.
"Hinata-chan, is that you?" Naruto asked. She looked up with a happy expression which made him grin. "I take it that I was missed?"
"Dummy, you sent no word. I was worried about you." Hinata berated.
"Hey now, I'm Uzumaki Naruto. No simple mission like this would hurt me." Naruto said with confidence. Hinata smiled at him which did not go un-noticed. A cough caught their attention and the two turned to see a smiling Tsunade.
"Now that's a surprise, you didn't tell me that you had a girlfriend and a Hyuuga at that. She's pretty cute, too cute for you." Tsunade said with mirth. Both of them had a healthy blush on their faces and were stammering out denials. Tsunade just laughed at the two when she felt the presence of two ANBU. They appeared and bowed before her.
"Lady Tsunade, we are here to escort you to see the elders. They are glad that you have returned." One ANBU said.
"Word travels fast but you may inform the elders that I have something to do first. I will be with them when I've finished." Tsunade informed them. She turned to Shizune who nodded. They both made a bee line for the Hospital. She stopped and turned to Naruto and Hinata.
"You're dismissed Genin Naruto. I wouldn't wish to anger the heiress to the Hyuugas for keep you." Tsunade joked. As she walked away she waved and said, "Don't do anything adult now."
"SHUT UP, YOU OLD HAG!!!" Naruto roared while Hinata fainted.
"Nice comeback, dobe." Sasuke smirked as Keena chuckled.
"SHUT UP, TEME!" Naruto hollered.
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
