My Life as a Teenage Shinobi

Tsunade stared in disbelief at the jounin in front of her.

"What is it you wanted me to do again?" she asked him, putting her elbows on the desk in front of her and placing her head in the palms of her hands.

"Well, Hokage-sama, it seems that my little students are going through…pu…pu…" he coughed. "They're going through the wondrous time of growing out of their youth into adolescence," he said, recalling Gai's words.

"Mhm, and so?" Tsunade asked impatiently, as if this were a waste of her time. 'It really is a waste of my time, though. Why the hell would he ask the Hokage something like this?' she thought.

Kakashi cleared his throat.

"Since you're the expert on medicine and health, might you have any remedies that would help them get back to their normal selves?"

Tsunade decided to voice what she was thinking. "So why are you asking me, of all people, the Hokage…for home remedies? Are you aware, Kakashi, that I am a very busy person?"

A laugh came from the door of the room. "Yeah right, Tsunade. We all know that you don't take your Hokage business seriously when you don't have to. Admit it!"

The fifth looked irritated at the man standing at her door. "Shut up, Jiraiya. No one asked you! And it does so happen that I DO take being Hokage seriously. I'm in charge of many people's lives, you know!" she argued.

"Hah, sure. I guess you can't take charge of your own age though, can you?" Jiraiya walked in the room.

"You idiot! You're a month older than me! What the hell are you talking about age for?!" she yelled, suddenly getting up from the chair.

Jiraiya started to dance around. "Ooh, I think someone's hitting menopause!"

A vein popped out of Tsunade's head.

"Oh, careful Tsunade-sama, we don't want you to overexert yourself at your age!" Jiraiya said, bouncing around the room.

Bad move, Jiraiya.

Tsunade jumped over the desk and tackled the dancing Jiraiya to the ground. She sat on top of him, holding on to his shirt, giving him a menacing glare.

Jiraiya smiled at her. "Ah, I would have killed for this position thirty years ago."

"SHUT UP!!" Tsunade threw him across the room. He crashed into a wall and stayed there. For a long while.

Kakashi didn't seem to be fazed by any of this. He was still sitting comfortably in his chair. During the ruckus, he had pulled out his latest copy of his favorite book.

Kakashi giggled slightly. "Hey Jiraiya, when's the next volume coming out? You left it at a very suggestive scene," he said. He looked at the half conscious man, who was still recovering from the blow with the wall.

Tsunade yanked the book out of his hands and tore it to shreds.

Kakashi looked aghast. "Hey, that was $19.50!"

"What the hell? Jiraiya can give you a free copy! Just don't read that disgusting book in front of my face!" Tsunade said, tossing the remainder of the book into the trash.

The man at the wall groaned slightly. "Mmph…"

"Hm?" Kakashi listened.

"Early December."

"Anyway," Tsunade said after finally agreeing to help Jiraiya with his bruises, "Kakashi, what exactly are the symptoms your kids are going through?"

"Hm…well Sasuke's voice keeps cracking, and Sakura's been moody AND she's getting stomachaches every so often," he said.

Tsunade nodded for him to keep going. After he didn't say anything, she looked up.

"Is that all? What about Naruto?"

"He hasn't started yet," Kakashi said, smiling slightly.

Tsunade shook her head. "That kid…" she mumbled.

"Well! Seems your kids are going through puberty," she said to Kakashi, who started snickering loudly. Tsunade decided to ignore this and kept talking.

"There's really nothing we can do to speed up the process…especially in Sakura's case…" she added as an afterthought. "But! You CAN however, ease them from their pain and suffering with simple home remedies!"

Kakashi sweatdropped. "But that's what I've been saying…from the beginning…"

Tsunade glared at him. "Do you want them or not?"

Kakashi sighed. "Sure, sure…"

Tsunade stood up and walked to the cabinet on the other side of the room.

"Well luckily for you, I'm a female so I already know plenty about Sakura's problems! Hm…here. Just give this to her and she'll be just fine," Tsunade said, reaching in a drawer full of chocolate bars and taking one out, handing it over to Kakashi. Kakashi stared at the chocolate.

"What does she do with it?" he asked.

Tsunade rolled her eyes. "She melts it then rubs it all over her face. What did you think she did?"

"Really? Okay then, I'll be sure to tell her," Kakashi said, grabbing a paper bag from another drawer and putting the chocolate inside. Yep, she's got everything anyone ever needs in these drawers, after all, she IS the Hokage.

"No you idiot, she eats it! Honestly, haven't YOU gone through puberty yet? It sure doesn't seem like it," Tsunade said, rummaging through yet another drawer. Kakashi giggled because…you know.

"Actually, I have, at an early age, I might add…"

FLASHBACK: Kakashi at an early age…

"Yo lil' man, what are you still doing in bed? You've got a mission today."

Eleven year old Kakashi groggily sat up in his bed, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He looked up at his former sensei and groaned slightly.

"Why do I hAve to gEt Up so eArly?" Kakashi asked. He winced at his voice and cleared his throat.

"Now, Kakashi, don't be like this right now. I've got too much to do today and you'd better be glad I'm doing you a favor by waking you up. Now get up," the blonde haired man said.

Little Kakashi groaned again, his voice still cracking a little. "Why is mY vOIce lIke thIS? SensEI?" he asked, and cleared his throat again.

"You must've slept well last night. Go and clean up, I told you, you have a mission! Just because you're eleven doesn't mean you're excused. Hurry!" the Yondaime patted his student on the back as the silver haired boy walked to the bathroom. Unfortunately, he must have patted him a little too hard, as Kakashi fell flat on his stomach.

"SenSEi! What the hEck was thAt fOR?"

The fourth raised an eyebrow at his masked subordinate. "Kakashi, shinobi aren't supposed to trip that easily, especially ones like you, who became a chuunin at age six!" he sighed. "Come on, we don't have all day."

"Hey Hatake, what took ya so long?" one of the jounins said. Kakashi, still a chuunin, had gone on many missions with jounin. He was a child prodigy and was well known all over Konoha.

"I wOke Up lAte. It hAPpens. C'mOn, LEt's gEt GOing alREAdy," Kakashi said to the three jounin with a bit of difficulty. They stared at him.

"Whoa! Looks like Hatake's going through puberty!" another jounin said, grinning at the small chuunin.

"PUberTY?" Kakashi asked. Obviously, he was still a bit naïve, even though he had killed countless people in missions.

The woman jounin stepped up to the child. "Hey Kakashi, how old are you anyway?" she asked, kneeling down to his height.

"I'm eLEven. And a hALf!" he said, proudly.

The three jounins sweatdropped. 'So early?' they all thought.

END FLASHBACK: Present

"Ah…yes, I remember that day so very clearly," Kakashi sighed as he reminisced.

"All right, all right already, that's enough of that," Tsunade said, holding a flask in her hand.

"Here, pop this in the microwave for a few seconds and give it to Sasuke. Tell him to gargle it and his throat should feel a bit better," she said, half heartedly explaining everything.

"Is that all? Nothing for Naruto?" Kakashi asked, putting the flask in the bag.

"And what in Konoha do you want me to give him? Your dirty books so he'll mature faster?" Tsunade said sarcastically. "Now, get out of my face, I have Hokage business to attend to," she said, walking both him and Jiraiya (who had been unusually quiet the whole time) to the door and shutting it behind him.

"Hm, will that really work?" he asked himself, taking Tsunade's sarcasm seriously.

Jiraiya chose this time to speak up again. "Trust me, Kakashi, it works perfectly! Would you like to borrow a copy?"

AN: Yay, Kakashi's chapter! Heh, I couldn't resist adding a bit of Kakashi's childhood in here. According to a few sources, the 4th fought the Kyuubi when Kakashi was thirteen, therefore, he was still alive when Kakashi was eleven.

HOWEVER, I don't know WHEN Kakashi became ANBU, but I know he became a chuunin by the age of six. If anyone knows…then please tell me so I can fix things =)

Tsunade's birthday I don't know at all. I couldn't find one site with her birthday on it. So for the sake of my fic, I made her a month younger than Jiraiya. Again, if someone knows, tell me so I can fix it!

Next chapter…I haven't decided yet. It will either be another Gai's team chapter, or a random chapter that doesn't focus on any one team individually, but they all interact with each other. Most likely the latter.

I really hate those horizontal lines. They're so ugly, but I've tried everything I could to break the page up, and nothing works. Oh well!

As always, reviews are appreciated. Thanks for reading!
