Hello to whoever will read this.
It's finally time to introduce Tsunade. Will Naruto be able to bring her back to Konoha?
Hope you enjoy.
The blond teen was waiting in the room he and Jiraya were living in during their stay in a small town. The young teen was becoming anxious. Jiraya told him that he would talk with some of his associates to gather information about the Akatsuki. That was 6 hours ago. Naruto was convinced that his mentor lied to him and he was out drinking with women. Suddenly a knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Ero-Sennin. I swear if you were drinking with wome... Who are you?" Naruto began ranting but when he opened the door and saw two unfamiliar people in front of him he stopped immediately and watched them closely. His eyes immediately fell on their black robes with red clouds as decoration. As his eyes were traveling towards their faces his mind had already figured out who these people were.
"Itachi Uchiha." The blond teen said as he saw the face of the raven haired man.
"Itachi, It seems he knows you." Kisame commented gaining the attention of Naruto.
"You must be Kisame... something... something" The blonde Uzumaki failed to remember his full name.
"I'm Kisame Hoshigaki. Nice to meet you Nine Tails." The shark like man introduced himself. Naruto immediately made a rasengan on his righ hand and attacked Itachi but Kisame managed to blocked it with Samehada. The sword ate the chakra and grew in size. Itachi watched carefully the reaction, or rather the lack of, in Naruto.
"It seems the Nine Tails Jinchuriki is informed about your abilities Kisame. Most probably by Asuma Sarutobi." The Uchiha said as he raised his hand.
"It doesn't matter, you will fall asleep NOW!" Itachi said and casted a genjutsu using his Sharingan. Naruto closed his eyes just in time. Kisame kicked him in the gut making the blond teen to spit blood.
"I don't understand why you are out here. We couldn't find you in the village and had to leave. I thought we would have to report a failed mission but... Here you are without any protection." Kisame said as he continued kicking him. Naruto looked at him defiantly.
"What?! You think that that perverted shinobi Jiraya will come to save you? Itachi already dealt with him. I must say your new Hokage must be a fool if they ordered you to leave the village." Naruto continued to stare at him. The Kiri missing nin stopped smiling and readied a kick.
"I will cut those eyes of yours out and feed them to you." He threatened and went for a heavy kick. Naruto however managed to catch the man's foot and hold it tight. Kisame stopped for a moment and saw at the blond. Naruto looked once again at the man and smiled mischievously.
"I don't need any protection. Especially for a fish face like you!" Our blond hero said as he pushed Kisame back and stood straight.
"You are right for one thing though. I am a fool. I'm a fool for many things. If hiding behind innocents means to be smart, THEN I PREFER TO STAY A FOOL MY ENTIRE LIFE!" Naruto declared and formed his signature hand sign. In an instant, the hallway was full of Shadow Clones. Kisame saw them all and a sadistic smile formed on his face. The shark like man began slashing through the clones and every time he did Samehada absorbed the clone's chakra.
Itachi was watching his traveling companion fighting their target and sighed.
"This is taking too long. Amaterasu!" The Uchiha said and black flames appeared out of nowhere and destroyed almost all the clones. Naruto saw the raven haired man's eye bleeding and realized that this was the evolved power Kurama talked about.
'Oi, Brat. He doesn't have a regular Sharingan. You need to be extremely careful.' Kurama ordered inside Naruto's head. Naruto took a defensive stance behind some of his clones. Our blond hero watched as Itachi closed his eye to prepare the next attack.
"This is the power of the Sharingan. This is the power of my clan. The black flames that burn eternally. Amaterasu!" He said as he unleashed another attack. Naruto braced himself.
"Toad Stomach!" A voice said and the hallway transformed into the guts of a toad and a wall was erected protecting Naruto from the attack. The black flames ate the wall revealing Jiraya the Sannin next to his student Naruto.
"You really believed that I would be distracted by those women you put under genjutsu to seduce me? Jokes on you! I knew from the moment they approached me that they weren't thinking straight." Jiraya said as he did his signature pose. Both Akatsuki members stood still for a moment. Itachi was the first to move towards Kisame and whispered something to his ear. Suddenly both men began running away from our heroes. Jiraya was pursuing them tell them that is was futile since they couldn't escape the Toad's stomach. As the white haired shinobi turned the corner of the hallway, he saw a giant hole leading to the outside.
"Amaterasu... What a terrifying power..." He murmured to himself and returned to Naruto.
After that attack Jiraya never left Naruto's side. The two Leaf Shinobi rushed towards the town their intel said that Tsunade was staying. As they reached the town Naruto saw signs of Casinos and raised an eyebrow at Jiraya, who in turn simple shrugged his shoulders.
"Tsunade-hime has a legendary reputation as one of the Sannin and of course as the granddaughter of the First Hokage. But many people know her thanks to another nickname."Jiraya said. Naruto asked what was that nickname. Jiraya looked towards the town and saw some commotion and smirked.
"Her other nickname is Tsunade the Legendary Sucker!" He said and rushed towards the commotion making Naruto to follow him hastily.
"Ero-Sennin! Wait up!" Naruto yelled as Jiraya stopped in front of a bar. He took a peak inside and smirked.
"She's inside Naruto. I will do the talking. Follow my lead." Jiraya said as he pushed the doors and entered. Naruto followed him and saw that the bar was empty. the only ones inside were the barman and two women, who he figured were Tsunade and a friend of hers.
"Well, I'll be dammed. If it isn't Tsunade-hime. How strange to find you here of all places." Jiraya began speaking. The blond woman raised her head and the moment her eyes saw the source of the voice that disturbed her, she threw the entire table towards Jiraya.
The white haired man quickly ducked and avoided it. The table hit the wall at the other side of the bar and broke. Naruto gulped.
"Tsunade-sama! We will have to pay for that as well." The black haired woman scolded Tsunade.
"I don't care Sizune! Give me other table to throw at that perverted old man!" She threatened. Jiraya sweatdropped and sat down across of her. Naruto saw Sizune trying to bring a new table over and went to help her. When they brought it, they both sat next to their mentors.
"Long time no see Tsunade." Jiraya said, in which Tsunade snorted.
"Not long enough..." She murmured and glanced at Naruto but didn't talked to him. Jiraya continued.
"I suspect you heard the news..." He said in a sad tone. Tsunade lowered her head. Sizune was the one that spoke.
"Yes Jiraya-sama. We learned this morning that Orochimaru attacked Konoha and..." She glanced at her mentor, who clutched her fist, and continued.
"...and that he killed the Third Hokage." Tsunade yelled loudly and punched the table breaking it in half. Naruto flinched at the sudden burst.
"When I find that slummy snake I will break it in half." Tsunade threatened. Jiraya leaned forward.
"If I don't find him first." He said earning a glare from the blonde woman and he backed off.
"The old man was my sensei as well you know... I want to find Orochimaru as well but..." Jiraya trailed off as he watched Naruto.
"...But Konoha comes first." The white haired man finished.
"No. I figured this wasn't a confidence." The blonde woman refused and signaled for the barman to bring other bottle of Sake.
Before Jiraya could answer, the barman had already served her a new bottle of Sake as he glared at Sizune, who gave him an awkward smile.
"Hear me out. Konoha needs you. The Hospital was destroyed and people are still dying before the doctors can't keep up." Jiraya pleaded.
"Too bad. I'm not coming back even if you made your stupid Hokage." She answered in which Naruto stood up gaining everyone's attention.
"Hokage-jiji told me that you might never come back. But he hoped that one day you would return to help your village." The blond teen said angrily.
"Sarutobi-sensei was a great teacher and an amazing person." Tsunade began making Naruto to calm down a bit.
"But he was also a fool. Only a fool would want to be Hokage for such a miserable village. It could all burn for all I care." Tsunade finished and Naruto released a huge amount of chakra, but Tsunade didn't flinched. She just watched him carefully.
"You say that you will kill Orochimaru for killing Hokage-jiji and yet you call him a fool." Naruto yelled.
"Wanting to kill him for killing my sensei is different. I don't care about Konoha I just-"
"Then you never understood what Hokage-jiji was teaching you. He saw everyone as his family, as his children. He died protecting us-" Naruto interrupted her
"Yeah. Just like my Grandfather and my Uncle. Just like..." She interrupted him and trailed off as she drank the entire Sake bottle.
"They were ALL FOOLS FOR WANTING THAT FUCKING HAT!" She yelled. Naruto pulled out his Hokage's Hat and slammed it at the broken table.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS WITH THE VILLAGE. BUT DISRESPECTING THE ROLE OF THE HOKAGE MEANS THAT YOU DISRESPECT THEIR WISHES AS WELL!" Naruto yelled back. Tsunade eyed the Hat and then Naruto. She turned to Jiraya who was simply watching the entire thing.
"Jiraya. Who is this brat?" The female Sannin asked.
"He's-"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. The Fifth Hokage of Konoha!" The blond teen managed to say before his mentor. Tsunade eyed him carefully, while Sizune gasped.
"You? Hokage? Is this a joke?" She laughed at him. Naruto wore the Hat and looked at her intensely.
"As the new Hokage of Konoha. I order you to return to the village." Naruto said with authority in his voice. Tsunade gave him a death stare.
"You what? You are ordering me? Ha! don't make me laugh brat. Go back to your little village and leave me alone." She belittled the young Hokage.
"As a Leaf shinobi you have a duty towards-"
Naruto began but Tsunade interrupted him once again.
"Then I resign as a shinobi!" She declared making Sizune to gasp once again.
"Tsunade-sama!" The black haired woman objected.
"Shut up Sizune." The blonde woman quickly said and continued.
"Go ahead and declare me a missing nin. Let's see who's foolish enough to come for my head." She finished with a smirk.
"Oi oi Tsunade..." Jiraya tried to put some sense into his old teammate's head but Naruto's hand stopped him.
"Then... as the fool with the Hat... I'm here to bring you back home." Naruto declared. Tsunade stood up and punched the ond teen out the of the bar.
Naruto was seeing stars for a a few seconds, but when he realised what happened he stood up and looked around him. Before he knew it he was kicked in the head by the Legendary Sannin. The young Hokage managed to land on his feet. His eyes locked on to Tsunade.
'Hits harder than Sakura.' Naruto thought as he saw her disappear and reappeared in front of him in an instant.
'She's faster than Kakashi-sensei' He managed to think before another kick of hers found his face.
Our blond hero went through a building's walls and landed on the other side of the house on the back road. He looked up and saw Tsunade standing on the rooftop smirking.
"Foolish brat. Are you really the new Hokage?" She asked while Naruto was trying to stand up. When he did he looked at her defiantly and a rasengan formed in his hand. Tsunade narrowed her eyes.
"That Jutsu..." Before she could finish her sentence she sensed danger from behind her and instinctively blocked with her hands. Her eyes widened when she saw that Naruto was now on the same rooftop as her. She looked back down at the back road and saw it empty. She looked back at Naruto who had locked hands with.
"Hoooo... You are not that weak are you?" She said smirking. Naruto smirked back.
"You are strong Old Hag." He said as he released his hand from hers and formed his signature hand sign.
"But I have numbers! Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" He said as the rooftop and the back road was filled with Naruto's clones.
"Shadow Clones... So no Teleportation..." Tsunade said cracking her knuckles.
"Easy enough then." She began thinning the numbers with only Taijutsu. Naruto however, only needed one moment for his clones to overwhelm her. When it came, he ordered a full on assault and the rest clones formed their rasengans.
"Rasengan Barage!" Our blond hero yelled as he leaped with his own rasengan towards Tsunade.
The legendary Sannin looked up at the clones. She took a deep breath and released the seal she had on her forehead.
The barrage made the entire building to collapse. When the dust settled, Naruto couldn't find his target. Suddenly he felt that a huge number of his clones gotnhit in an instant. He looked around trying to find her but a second later another huge group died.
Before he knew it, all his clones disappeared. Tsunade appeared in front of him and grabbed Naruto by the throat.
"This is the power of the Sannin brat. You can never hope to beat me like this." She said squeezing his throat. At that exact moment Jiraya and Sizune appeared.
Naruto clutched her hands and tried to speak. Tsunade weakened her hold so that he could speak. Our blond hero took deep breaths and in between breaths he managed to answer her.
"I will bring you back to Konoha. I never give up! Because that is my ninja way. Believe it!" He said defiantly. Tsunade punched him and his body landed on a wall.
"When I use this power only a Sage can beat me!" Tsunade said hit the ground with her foot. The earth cracked from the impact. Naruto struggled to open his eyes.
'Oi brat. She doesn't know... She disrespects everything your father and that old geezer were doing. She needs to be taught a lesson... I can lend you the necessary power you need to beat her.' The Nine Tails Fox offered the hurt blond. Naruto tried to stand up but, even inside his mind, he couldn't. Instead he looked at him and refused.
'I will beat her on my own. If I can't bring one of my shinobi back to the village, how can I protect all of them?' The blond teen answered.
'Don't give me that. I can feel your anger... You want to beat her to prove her wrong for what she said.' Kurama raised his head and closed his eyes and felt the hate.
'Yes... So much hate... So much pain... I canake it all go away... Just open the door...' The giant Fox said clinging to the door's lock. Naruto finally stood up and gave him a smile.
'Next time Kurama.'
Back in the real world Naruto smirked, which made Tsunade to get ready.
"No matter what. I will WIN!!!" The young Hokage yelled and formed the same hand sign. Tsunade relax.
"Is this the only Jutsu you know? Pathetic!" She mocked as she shredded through the clones. As she reached Naruto she tried to puch him in the stomach but the blond managed to hold her hand. With his free hand he began forming a rasengan. Tsunade's eyes widened knowing full well the destructive force of the Jutsu.
Naruto landed the attack but he was shocked to see that Tsunade tanked it. The blonde woman looked at the point the rasengan hit and laughed.
"You might have learned the rasengan but you sure as hell haven't mastered it. Minato's was far more deadlier. Even that pervert's rasengan is stronger than yours. You are no much for me!" She finished what she was saying with a headbut. Naruto fell unconscious to the ground.
Jiraya rushed to his student but Tsunade grabbed him by the collar.
"If he tries again to fight me... I will kill him." Jiraya smirked.
"My dear Tsunade... When Naruto tries again... He will win." The white haired man said confidently. Tsunade looked down at Naruto and walked away. Sizune bowed and followed her mentor.
Jiraya picked Naruto up and carried him. Naruto tried to speak but couldn't.
"Come on kid. First let's heal you up. Then we will train." Jiraya said and saw Naruto smiling even though he was unconscious.
Done. Tsunade's power overwhelmed Naruto and I wanted to make her both strong and awesome in order to make Naruto realise that there are more powerful people than him out there. Obviously, in the end of the Original Story Naruto became OP. Here... I will have his scaling to be more gradual.
