Outside the Tavern, Night…
Naruto and Daichi stood facing Tsunade while Shizune and Jiraiya stood to either side.
"Normally, this would be a useless endeavor; however, Tsunade's drunk and I can tell she won't take us seriously." Daichi thought. "That means we'll not only complete the bet, but we've also got the chance to get one good shot in. Maybe more."
As if to prove his thoughts, Tsunade cockily said, "One of the Legendary Yonnin taking on a couple of snot nosed Genin." She smiled. "I ought to be ashamed of myself."
"Who are you calling snotty?" Naruto asked angrily.
Tsunade held up one finger.
"Careful Tsunade." Jiraiya stated. "These boys aren't to be underestimated."
Tsunade ignored him as she held up a finger. "You see this. One finger is all I need."
"Please, don't." Shizune begged.
"What are you waiting for kids?" Tsunade ushered them forward.
Naruto's eyes became red and his hair gained a red sheen.
Daichi had woven the hand signs. "Lion's Will: 25%."
He gained the orange Chakra flaring up around him.
"Don't you ever underestimate us!" Naruto declared.
Together, the Genin rushed Tsunade coming at her fast. She moved to poke each of them only for both boys to pivot to either side of her and rush in with a punch from two sides. Tsunade jumped over the boys planning on having them smash into each other.
Naruto's Ultra instinct allowed him to effortlessly dodge while Daichi cartwheel the opposite way. Daichi then ran up the road while Naruto moved back to where they started. Once Tsunade landed, they each formed a mastered Rasengan in their palms.
Tsunade was utterly shocked. "That kid played me!"
The Yonnin used both arms to tear into the ground pulling up rocks that took their Jutsu. Tsunade then jumped and spun kicking both rocks hard into the Genin knocking them away. The Genin hit the ground as broken chunks of rock fell around them.
"How did these kids do this?" Tsunade questioned.
"I told you Tsunade." Jiraiya stated. "These boys are not to be underestimated."
"Well, what were you even doing teach kids like these a Jutsu like that?" Tsunade questioned.
"As you can see, they could handle it Tsunade." Jiraiya chuckled as the boys approached her. "Speaking of which, I believe you owe them their rewards."
Tsunade sighed before looking at them. "I'll come back to Konoha and give you boys what you're owed; however, I have business to conduct in this town." She looked at Jiraiya. "Can you wait until tomorrow?"
"No fair!" Naruto began. "We…"
Daichi put a hand on his shoulder. "It's alright Naruto. We'll get what we're owed." He looked at Jiraiya. "You'll make sure this is something she doesn't skip out on, correct?"
"Not to worry." Jiraiya nodded. "You and Naruto won the bet, so consider me the man to get it done."
Naruto sighed, "I suppose we couldn't head back to the Leaf this late anyways."
"There we go man." Daichi patted his friend's back. "Come on, let's go get a room."
Naruto glared at Tsunade before walking away with his friend. "Rest sounds good."
The boys walked off and Tsunade watched them.
Shizune looked at her. "Lady Tsunade…" She remembered what Kabuto had said. "Were those boys able to help her make the right decision?"
With Tsunade, Later…
Tsunade was sitting on one of the arcs scattered throughout the town thinking about those kids. More specifically Naruto and his similarities to her brother and fiancé. This brought back memories of giving them the necklace and their deaths soon after.
She brought her knees close and buried her head between them as she started crying for them. The pain didn't stop at them. Soon her mind turned to Daichi which in turn brought the death before Dan to mind, Hisashi Ryu
Tsunade's Flashback
Activity around the boarders of the Land of Fire had picked up. The Second Ninja War was fast approaching. Squads had been deployed to show that The Land of Fire was strong. Those squads had no idea that they would be ambushed.
Many Leaf Shinobi would die this day. Shinobi from the Village Hidden in the Stone appeared and attacked Tsunade's group. They made quick work of the team she'd been assigned to. She'd managed to take out many of them herself, but her Charka was running out.
She was becoming exhausted as more Shinobi came. At this rate, she'd die in mere minutes. One of the remaining Shinobi stabbed her in a non-vital area adding to the injuries she already had. The yet to be dubbed Yonnin fell to the ground panting as the Stone Shinobi approached her.
She closed her eyes and thought of Nawaki as she waited for the last strike to come. It never did. She instead heard two cries of pain. Tsunade opened her eyes and saw that the Stone Shinobi were dead while her savior, a fellow Leaf Shinobi, had two swords embedded in him.
On top of those wounds, he was cut and injured in numerous places, panting heavily, and extremely pale. His name was Hisashi Ryu and his short, sky blue hair was flecked with blood while an empty sheathe was around his waist.
One of his swords was embedded in one of the Stone Shinobi. By this point, he only had a pair of blooded and tattered blue pants on. His torso was covered in blood as were his armored greaves and leg guards.
One of his eyes had been cut leaving him with one good dark blue eye. Tsunade was utterly shocked and only moved as Hisashi fell to his back. She knelt at her savior's side and began applying Medical Ninjutsu.
Hisashi stopped her. "Don't bother. I'm on my last legs and you'll need your Chakra to make it back to Konoha."
Tsunade closed her eyes. Even though she barely knew these men, he had saved here, and this brought tears to her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Tsunade stated/
"There's no need to cry." Hisashi smiled. "I knew I was on death's door but saving even one Leaf Shinobi makes it worth it. Makes me feel like I managed to become the Hokage. A pipe dream seeing as there are others more qualified than I."
Tsunade asked, "Do you have a last request?"
"Tell my wife and son that I'm sorry, and that I loved them with all my heart." Hiashi chuckled weekly. "Tell my son to live well and grow strong. He may be too young to understand why this has happened, but I can tell he'll be stronger than I ever was."
Hasashi then passed on. On that day, 20 Leaf Shinobi were sent to the boarder, but 1 made it back alive.
Present: Small Restaurant, Some Time Later…
Tsunade had a bottle of sake before her and had already taken a few drinks.
"Funny finding you here?" Jiraiya happily commented as he entered the stand.
Tsunade glanced at him. "What the hell do you want?"
"Don't be that way." Jiraiya stated. "You know you're glad to see me."
Tsunade turned the other way and took another drink.
Jiraiya took the seat next to her. "Bring me the house special." The chief went off to prepare the meal leaving the pair. "I know they're on your mind."
"Who?" Tsunade questioned.
"Naruto and Daichi of course. Those two are so much like their fathers. In all honesty, you were a fool for betting against them." Jiraiya stated while smiling.
"Honestly, there's something about Daichi that makes me believe he's more like his grandfather. Though I suppose I can see how they're like their fathers. They seem like the type to always have each other's backs." Tsunade commented.
"Careful Tsunade." Jiraiya grinned. "You're starting to make me think you've grown fond of them."
"Yeah right." Tsunade scoffed. "Like I could ever be found of those idiots."
"Idiots that managed to play you like a fiddle," Jiraiya chuckled. "Here I thought you might actually take Orochimaru's deal. I should have known better."
Jiraiya's food came and Tsunade grabbed the bottle of sake pouring Jiraiya a drink. She glanced at him as he drank it down.
Streets of the Town, Some Time Later…
Tsunade was walking down the street when she ran into Shizune who was looking for her.
"Milady, I was just coming to escort you back to the inn." Shizune stated before glancing down.
"I'm not going back to the inn Shizune." Tsunade stated seriously. "I'm going to meet with him."
Shizune was angry and shocked. "Lady Tsunade, you can't seriously…"
Shizune was stopped mid-sentence as Tsunade punched her in the stomach. "I'm not going to heal him. I'm going to kill him."
Shizune fell unconscious. Tsunade caught her apprentice and slung her over the shoulder. She sighed as she made her way back to the inn for a brief stop.
Streets of Tanzaku, Next Morning…
Daichi and Naruto were looking for Jiraiya and found him passed out at the stand.
"Pervy Sage!" Naruto yelled as he shook Jiraiya. "Wake up!"
The Toad Sage fell over shocking the Genin until they thought he must have had too much to drink. Jiraiya woke up and tried to stand though he seemed in pain.
"What's wrong with you Pervy Sage?" Naruto asked a bit concerned.
Jiraiya gripped his stomach. "I'll explain on the way. For now, help me get to the inn. We need to have a word with Shizune."
Inn, Outside Tsunade's Room's Window
The small group arrived just as Shizune suddenly opened her window.
Jiraiya threw a kunai causing her to look at them. "We need to have a word with you."
Some Time Later…
Shizune did what she could to get Jiraiya back into fighting shape while explaining everything concerning the deal to what happened last night.
Jiraiya stood up. "Whether she likes it or not, we're going to help her."
"Right." Daichi and Naruto stated.
The group lept away from the roof heading towards the meeting spot.
With Tsunade
Tsunade had been waiting when Orochimaru appeared smiling. "Since you've summoned me, am I to assume you'll agree to heal my arms?"
"That is correct." Tsunade stated.
"Shall we?" Orochimaru asked.
The two Yonnin walked towards each other. Orochimaru was grinning until Tsunade prepared to punch him. She was stopped mid punch by a kunai that had been thrown by Kabuto. He jumped off a nearby roof and came to stand slightly behind Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was a bit shocked. "So, that's your answer Tsunade? After all I've offered you, you would repay me by killing me. Fortunately, I can depend on Kabuto's loyalty."
Kabuto nodded
Tsunade began to tear up. "The promise to see them one more time, even if it were just for a moment, was tempting. It made me weak. So weak, that for a moment I'd have sacrificed everything just to see them again." Tears fell.
"I was willing to throw away the village and everyone in it. Fortunately, two boys reminded me of the Leaf beyond those I lost. Because of them, I was reminded why those 3 Shinobi gave their lives. The Leaf and everyone in it meant everything to them.
If I'd taken your deal, I would have betrayed all their hopes and dreams." Tears streamed down her cheeks. "That is why I cannot and will not heal your arms." She wiped her cheeks. "I won't let you destroy what was so precious to them."
"It seems we've reached an impasse." Orochimaru stated. "I'm afraid you give me no choice but to use force."
Tsunade stared Orochimaru down determined to stop him. She charged in and jumped in the air preparing to deliver an axe kick. The sound Shinobi jumped back onto the wall. Tsunade hit the ground destroying it and some of the surrounding wall.
She threw off her haori and charged at the two Shinobi once more. Kabuto declares that she'll have to go through him. She's fine with doing just that. Tsunade then punched the wall they stood on destroying it and causing her opponents to retreat to the branch of a nearby tree.
As they stand in the tree, Kabuto explains that he saw someone who could give them trouble, and they'll most likely arrive soon. Tsunade kicks down the branch, and the Sound Shinobi jump off before running to lure the Shinobi. Kabuto explains that the someone is Jiraiya.
With The other Leaf Shinobi
Jiraiya, Naruto, Shizune, Tonton, and Daichi come upon the meeting place and see the destruction. They look around and Naruto steps on Tsunade's tossed coat. Tonton sniffs the coat, gets the scent, and starts leading the Shinobi to Tsunade.
With Tsunade
The current battlefield, a clearing well outside the town, was already in the process of being destroyed as Kabuto dodged Tsunade resulting in her doing a little landscaping. Kabuto took a food pill to gain back some Chakra before weaving hand signs enveloping them in Chakra.
The Sound Shinobi then tries attacking from underground, but Tsunade jumps avoiding him. She came down, but Kabuto avoids her. They begin to go at it with both dodging one another. Kabuto strikes Tsunade's right bicep and thigh muscle with his Chakra covered hand.
She managed to head butt him in the gut sending the Sound shinobi skidding. The places Kabuto hit had weakened. Tsunade questions him on why he didn't just kill her with his Chakra Scalpel. He tells her that it's difficult to accomplish precision and a long blade in the heat of battle.
He charges in and the two engage in more Taijutsu. He eventually gets a hit at her chest causing Tsunade to pant as she tries to breathe. Tsunade manages to hit Kabuto's neck sending him skidding along the ground. The Medical Shinobi had messed up kabuto's motor functions.
She then punches him in the cheek sending Kabuto flying. He's impressed that she could do such a thing in her condition. He eventually grows accustomed to how his body moves before rushing at Tsunade and attempting to stab her. He's stopped by a smoke bomb before everyone appears.
Orochimaru said, "It's been a long time, old friend."
Jiraiya said, "Long time indeed, and I can't say it's improved your looks any, old friend."
Naruto and Daichi notice Kabuto.
Daichi said, "You know, I didn't want to believe Kakashi Sensei when he told us you were an agent for Orochimaru, but I have to face facts. Kind of makes me wish I'd let your fellow Shinobi hit you."
"I can't believe you'd work for that monster." Naruto angrily stated.
"You two have meet this kid before?" Jiraiya questioned.
"We met him during the Chunin Exams." Daichi explained.
Tsunade pushed Jiraiya. "Get out of here!" She lept and kicked at Kabuto. "This is my fight!"
Kabuto dodged as Tsunade tried to punch him. Just as it looked like she had the upper hand, the Sound Shinobi cut himself making Tsunade stop in her tracks and freak out over the blood.
Kabuto smirked. "Now your Jutsu has worn off, so I'm back at 100%." He put his kunai away. "I knew I couldn't take on two of the legendary Yonnin at the same time." Kabuto punched Tsunade who was caught by Shizune. "At least now I got one down."
Daichi stepped forward. "You'll pay for hurting the new Hokage, Kabuto." He turned to his friend. "Naruto, this guy's clearly stronger than he pretended to be, but we can take him. Stand back and prepare the Jutsu. I'll give the signal when ready."
"Got it." Naruto nodded. "We'll show him he's made a mistake betraying Konoha."
"Attack me all you like." Kabuto stated. "It won't make a difference."
"We'll see about that." Daichi stated.
Daichi charged in and punched Kabuto who blocked him. The Fusion member followed up with a kick to the sound shinobi's side causing him to stumble. He kept up the attack with a flurry of punches and kicks that kept the weakened Kabuto on the defensive.
The double agent's reflexes were still off making it hard to avoid or block the Fusion member. Naruto stood back forming the Rasengan. Daichi landed a solid kick to Kabuto's mid-section and followed it up with a couple of hard punches to the Sound Shinobi's face making him stumble.
Daichi then got behind Kabuto and put him in a lock holding him in place. "Now Naruto!"
Kabuto's attempted to struggle free as he noticed Naruto running in with the Jutsu. "The chakra of that Jutsu! I have to move!"
Daichi continued to hold The Sound Shinobi in place. "You're not going anywhere."
At the last possible second, Daichi released him and jumped clear to the right cartwheeling to his feet. Naruto slammed the Rasengan into the Sound Shinobi's stomach tearing a hole in his clothes. The Jutsu sent Kabuto spiraling back.
It tore through the ground before the Sound Shinobi slammed into a rock hard kicking up a lot of dust and debris. Eventually, it dissipated revealing Kabuto standing within a newly created hole within the rock.
"A mere child mastering a Jutsu like that." Orochimaru was furious. "It's unheard of."
"3 weeks. May not be with one hand, but those two have mastered the Rasengan." Jiraiya grinned. "They are going to go far."
Kabuto had one hand on the stone as he panted heavily. His wound was healing surprising almost every Shinobi there. The Sound shinobi ran at Naruto while coating his right hand in Chakra."
"I'm not letting you get near him!" Daichi proclaimed as he wove the hand signs. "Lion's Will: 25%!"
Daichi was coated in orange Chakra before running straight at Kabuto. The Leaf Shinobi avoided his hands and delivered an uppercut to the Sound shinobi's jaw physically lifting him. The Fusion member then spun kicked the Sound Shinobi back into the rock.
"There's far more to these Genin than meet the eye." Orochimaru thought. "There's no telling what may happen if the Akatsuki gets their hands on either of them. Best to start with the Nine Tail's brat."
Orochimaru ran at Naruto with Jiraiya following. "I won't let you!"
Orochimaru turned and shot out his tongue catching Jiraiya's leg before using it to slam the Toad Sage into the ground. He then launched at Naruto deploying the blade from his mouth in the process. Daichi and Tsunade both noticed this, but Naruto didn't.
Daichi started running. "Naruto!"
"He's coming for the boy." Tsunade thought.
This prompted her to intercept blade into her chest.
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune shouted worriedly.
Orochimaru removed the blade, jumped back, and put the blade away into his body. "You are the one person I wouldn't want to kill. Listen to me, if that brat lives, it will be more trouble than you and your friends can imagine. Stay out of my way."
Tsunade stumbled but managed to stay standing. "No. You listen to me. If I do nothing else, I will protect this boy."
Orochimaru smiled. "How would you do that? Look at you. One of the Yonnin shaking like a leaf in the wind. I mean, why would you of all people risk your life for a lowly Genin?"
Tsunade looked up determined while still shaking. "This Genin has been chosen by fate to become the Hokage. Until that fated day arrives, I will gamble everything I have to protect the Leaf Village as its Hokage." She stopped trembling. "That includes my life!"
"You go Granny Tsunade!" Naruto thought.
"She's overcome her fear!" Shizune thought in amazement. "Is it possible these boys brought her to this point?"
Orochimaru chuckled. "Whatever you call yourself makes no difference. You've conquered your inner weakness, but what about the rest of you. You can hardly expect to beat me in your condition."
"Reverse Seal Release." Tsunade wove hand signs. "Ninja Art: Mitotic Regeneration."
To the amazement of Naruto and Daichi, her wounds healed.
Jiraiya called out to the Genin. "Naruto get over here. It's time to summon Gamabunta, and I don't have the Chakra to do it right now! Daichi we need the Great Beast King!"
"Right!" The Genin shouted.
Orochimaru moved over to Kabuto. "We need Manda. Do it Kabuto!"
Naruto moved to Jiraiya's side. "I got this Pervy Sage."
"You can count on me!" Daichi shouted.
Shizune moved to Tsunade's side as the soon to be Hokage stared Orochimaru down. "It's time to prove my words as a fool like Naruto."
Kabuto got to one knee, lifted Orochimaru's right sleeve, and got some of the snake's blood. Naruto, Tsunade, and Daichi all bit their thumbs and wove the proper signs.
All four shinobi then slammed their palms on the ground. "Summoning Jutsu!"
Along with The Great Beast King and Gamabunta, a purple snake and white and blue slug as large as the first two summons appeared with their respective summoners and others on their head.
Gamabunta said, "Katsuyu and Tsunade, Orochimaru and Manda, and Tosu. All we're missing is Kazamae, and we'd have a full reunion. Seven of us isn't so bad."
"We don't have time for jokes Gamabunta!" Naruto shouted.
"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.
"Please don't Lord Manda." Kabuto was frightened. "You'll be well rewarded for your troubles."
"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 expect 100 human sacrifices."
"Lady Tsunade, I'm not as battle oriented as the others, but I'll do my best." Katsuyu stated.
Shizune smiled. "Thanks, Katsuyu. It means a lot that you'll help us."
Daichi looked down at Tosu. "You haven't said anything Beast King. What are you thinking?"
The Beast King was looking at the summons. "Just looking at the battle I'm presented with. I must say you've been giving me chances to really stretch my capabilities."
"Glad to hear you'll assist us. I may not be Kazamae Sensei, but I'll do my best to help." Daichi stated.
The Beast King, with concern evident in his voice, said, "Just be careful Kit. You may not think this of me, but I protect my family. You and Kazamae are part of it, so I will do everything I can to keep you safe."
Daichi smiled. "Thanks, 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 us in the forest and attempted to do something to Sasuke." Naruto began
"You attacked our village and cost many lives." Daichi added.
"For that, you are going down." They both finished.
"Oh, big talk from someone who was originally so afraid that he could barely fight the last time we met." Orochimaru stated while laughing once more.
Then, everything was so silent you could hear the wind blowing.
This only lasted a few moments before Katsuyu made her move. "Acid Slime."
Manda moved out of the way causing the slug's slime to hit a rock before moving in and wrapping 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 swung his tail hitting The Beast King and knocking him back a few feet. The snake then whipped around to Gamabunta who dodge it, but at the cost of losing his sword. Manda followed up his attack by flinging said blade at Gamabunta.
A now free Katsuya said, "Liquid Style: Water Bullet."
The water nailed the blade sending it off course.
"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 and Manda's tail came up. Gamabunta 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 hadn't appeared and slammed his claws down on its head digging them into the snake. Naruto wove hand signs while Daichi charged lighting.
"Water Style: Water Shuriken Jutsu." Naruto declared.
Daichi said, "Lighting Beast Tracking fang."
The lightning merged into the shuriken electrifying them. Shizune got in on the action by launching Senbon after the shuriken. Orochimaru and Kabuto avoided the various projectiles. Daichi then noticed Tsunade coming through the air wielding Gamabunta's massive sword.
"Great Beast King, move!" Daichi exclaimed.
The lion jumped back, and Tsunade slammed the sword through Manda's head keeping him in place. Orochimaru and Kabuto had jumped back to the body, so they were safe.
Orochimaru thought, "Fighting one Yonnin would be hard enough, but two of them, an apprentice, and two Genin is proving difficult."
Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue to capture Tsunade, but Daichi reacted quickly with some hand signs. "Fusion Clone Jutsu."
A clone of a Demon Brother appeared in Orochimaru's way. The clone prepared to use his gauntlet to cut the tongue, but the snake wrapped him up before throwing him to the side. This gave Tsunade the chance to grab the tongue.
She landed on the ground and pulled the Snake Yonnin right to her before decking him in the face. This sent the former Leaf Shinobi flying, but Tsunade wasn't done. She kept a hold of that tongue and started swinging him around.
She followed up by bringing him close and throwing another punch. The Slug Yonnin then jumped after him and threw a flurry of punches. Tsunade then grabbed Orochimaru's tongue, once more, and pulled him back in for the final blow only to miss.
"No! I'm starting to run low." Tsunade thought worriedly.
Orochimaru seized his chance and wrapped Tsunade with his tongue dragging her to the ground with him. The Sound Shinobi produced the snake sword from his mouth as he landed. Tsunade rushed in and dodged the blade before wailing on the snake.
"I keep pounding him, but I'm getting nowhere!" Tsunade punched him into the air and landed a kick sending the snake straight into the ground. "No matter." She had landed and coated her hand in Chakra. "This will finish it!" She stood before the snake. "Give my regards to hell!"
She punched Orochimaru in the face knocking him right into the sword still embedded in Manda's head.
Kabuto thought, "He took the full force of that insane strength."
Jiraiya sighed. "It's over."
"Yeah." Gamabunta stated.
"That was amazing." Naruto thought.
Daichi let out a sigh of relief. "That was intense."
Manda was agitated, "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. Granted, he was certainly panting heavily and clearly injured.
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade. "So, you refuse to heal my arms, do you? No matter, there is another way, and I will destroy Konoha. Depend on it. I hope we all meet again when I once more walk among you."
Orochimaru sank into the ground.
"We'll meet again Daichi and Naruto." Kabuto stated before making hand signs that led to him vanishing in a puff of smoke.
The battle was over.
Tanzaku Quarters: Tavern, Days Later…
The entire group sat back in the tavern where they first met with all their bags nearby. They had simply stopped in for some food before making the journey home.
"Well, we best hit the road." Jiraiya chuckled. "No doubt the old man's just praying for us to bring you back soon."
Tsunade stopped them. "There are a few things we still need to take care of." She took out a sealing scroll and tossed it to Daichi. "The contents of that sealing scroll should be a fitting reward. It contains arm guards that can store extra Chakra up to half your reserves."
"It's more than fitting." Daichi nodded. Thank you, Lord Fifth."
Tsunade then removed her necklace and presented it to Naruto. "Here, this belongs to you."
Naruto smiled and put it on. "Alright!"
Daichi nodded. "Looks good on you future Hokage."
Tsunade then leaned in, removed his forehead protector, and kissed his forehead.
She gently placed a hand on his chest with a warm smiled. "You'll grow to be a fine man and great Hokage."
Naruto smiled and put his hands behind his head. "You bet!"
"Thank you Daichi and Naruto." Shizune smiled at the two Genin. "Because of you, Lady Tsunade has her faith in Konoha restored."
The group gathered their things and started the journey home.
"Be at peace Dan, Nawaki, and Hisashi for your dreams live on in Naruto." Tsunade happily thought "Hisashi your clan may just be secured this time around with Daichi in control."
