Prelude
The village of Konohagakure, one of the five great villages. It was a beautiful day, and everyone was enjoying it. Well, not everyone. Its leader was busy doing her duty as the Godaime Hokage. She was enjoying the cool air through an open window while Tonton laid by her desk. While she enjoyed the breeze, she wished that she was in a bar, a warm cup of sake in her hand.
'However, I can't do that because I'm Hokage. Seriously, why did I agree to this?' she thought. She put down her pen and turned toward the portraits of the former Hokages. These were men who were legends during their time in office. She realized she had big shoes to fill. Still, for just two and a half years, she was doing well.
Still, she couldn't help but be annoyed at the two people who made her take the hat. Thinking about the blond brat, she was wondering how he was doing? It didn't take that foolish pervert to disregard her orders. She was glad that she took steps to ensure that he would be safe and prepared for what laid ahead. She was getting reports on his progress and was pleased.
As she was about to get back to work, her door was thrown open. She was surprised to see that it was her assistant.
"What is the meaning of this Shizune?" she demanded.
"I'm sorry Tsunade-sama but… I feel that you've been working hard. I figured that you deserved a day off." Shizune explained. Tsunade narrowed her eyes at her. Shizune never tried to get her to relax. She was happy to keep putting work on her desk. She was nervous about something. She could see it on her face. She was about to question her when Tonton was 'oinking.' This made her look in her direction as Shizune screamed at her not to. What she saw made her widen her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Someone had defaced her on the monument. She could read the words hagand fake on her cheek and forehead. As she took it all in, she noticed a familiar swirl pattern on her other cheek. Her shock changed into anger. She looked at Shizune who only sighed nervously. She then looked to her left at an empty corner. That's when an animal masked figure suddenly appeared and bowed.
"Find Sakura and then bring Uzumaki Naruto to me." Tsunade ordered. The person vanished with another figured that just appeared. Tsunade just looked at her face and growled. It looked like she was worried about the brat for nothing.

Author's Notes: It has been a while since I wrote anything. I've been looking for a new job and looking to get back into school. It's been a busy summer for me and I haven't had the chance to write as much. However, I just got hired for a new job and I am looking into doing online classes. So, I should get some free time in the future.
Anyway, this is the sequel to a Family of Foxes and Snakes. I hope you enjoy the new chapter.
