Onegai! Tsunade-Hime

Chapter 7: Hajimete (For the first time)

Naruto stared at Tsunade, sizing her up. It was this like this for a few seconds then, quickly reaching into his holster, Naruto flung three kunai in Tsunade's direction. Tsunade caught the first two kunai, then deflected the third one, causing it to land in the ground beside her. She looked up just in time to see Naruto's fist heading for her. Extending one finger, she tapped Naruto's arm, deflecting the punch and causing Naruto to lose his balance, leaving him open. After which, Naruto found himself with his arm held behind his back, and a kunai near the back of his head.

"Is that all?" Tsunade asked mockingly "A ninja is someone who is trained in the art of stealth, charging headfirst into a fight is the samurais' job" She then, threw Naruto into the nearby river Where are the other two? She thought.

Her train of thought was broken as two shuriken flew out of the river and sped towards her. She casually caught the two shuriken, but was surprised when an explosion of ninja smoke occurred and two Narutos were now clinging onto her arms. More splashes followed and she watched as more Narutos emerged from the river. They charged as one and dog piled on Tsunade, intending to get the bells. The Narutos were surprised when they found no Tsunade beneath them.

"She must have used Henge" a clone said. Chaos followed as the Narutos attacked one another hoping to find Tsunade.

"It was you.."

"You smell like Tsunade-sensei!"

"It's not me"

"It was kawarimi you idiot" Tsunade shouted as she stepped out from the bushes. The Narutos all turned to look at her "Know your jutsus well, or they will be used against you"

The Narutos charged at her again, this time though, she was more than prepared. She punched the ground causing sizeable pieces of earth to fly up and hit the attacking Naruto clones, making them disappear in poofs of smoke. The real Naruto continued and threw a punch at Tsunade. She caught the punch and swung Naruto around so that his back was to her "Why are genins nowadays so weak?" she stated "Brats like you deserve a good spanking" she then extended her arm and delivered what looked to be a powerful spank to Narutos ass, causing him to fly across the field because of its strength.

"Shit" Naruto said while clutching his now sore ass.

From the nearby trees, Sasuke and Sakura winced as they saw the recent attack That must have hurt a lot they thought. Seeing an opening, Sasuke pulled a string he was holding, launching a barrage of kunai at Tsunade. He smirked when he saw the kunai hit their mark but frowned when Tsunade's form poofed and turned into a log.

"What are you doing all the way over here Sasuke-kun?" Tsunade asked after appearing behind Sasuke.

Sasuke dodged the finger that intended to poke him on the head and swung out his leg to kick Tsunade's side. Tsunade caught the kick however and threw Sasuke into the open plain.

"Your taijutsu is pretty good" Tsunade commented. Sasuke responded by throwing three shuriken at her. Tsunade caught the shuriken on one finger and blocked the kick that was aimed at her head that followed. Sasuke followed up with a backhand that was easily ducked and then a straight punch. Tsunade responded by tapping Sasuke's wrist therefore canceling the attack which was followed by a light palm strike on Sasuke's body which sent him flying.

After being hit, Sasuke quickly started making hand seals Katon Goukakyuu no jutsu the ball of flame headed for a slightly surprised Tsunade, who in response to the attack, punched the ground hard, causing a shield of earth to rise up and block the incoming flames. She felt a presence behind her and found Naruto, apparently recovered from his earlier mishap and charging at her once again. He threw three kunai at her The same thing won't work twice she thought, wary of the kunai Kage bunshin combo and proceeded to step to the side, intending to avoid the kunai completely. Something else happened though, as the clones dropped the henge when they were a few feet from her and charged, the real Naruto following closely behind. The two clones to her left and right threw a left hook and a right sweep respectively, she blocked the attacks with one arm and leg each then found the third clone a few inches from grabbing the bell.

Tsunade planted a knee in the clone's face and made it disappear. She then delivered a punch to the clone on her left and elbowed the clone to her right causing them to disappear. This left the real Naruto, who tried to hit Tsunade with a thrust kick aimed at her midsection. Tsunade caught the kick but then Naruto threw a smoke bomb aimed at her face. The smoke bomb exploded on the rock behind her and though not on target, successfully created a smoke screen. From within the smoke screen, Tsunade felt a kunai fly by her, slightly causing a tear on her suit. She quickly ran out of the smokescreen and emerged to find Sakura, who immediately threw a kunai at her, she deflected the kunai, but suddenly dodged as she saw a kunai to seemingly appear out of nowhere and fly by her cheek causing a small scratch. Anki? She thought. Sakura proceeded to throw another kunai, Tsunade looked at the thrown kunai and saw another kunai slightly trailing underneath the first. She deflected both kunai this time and blocked a kick from Sakura.

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING, the sound echoed throughout the field as the clock indicating the time limit signaled the end of the test. She gathered the three genin in front of the three logs.

"I see that you were unab.." she trailed off as she reached down to her waist to get said bells only to find nothing.

"Looking for this, sensei?" Naruto stated with a victorious tone while raising the two bells in question.

Surprise showed on Tsunade's face "When did you-" she started That kunai! She thought, replaying the part where she deflected the two kunai thrown by Sakura.

"Hehe, I transformed myself into one of the kunai Sakura-chan was holding and took the bells just right after the alarm rang" Naruto declared with a huge grin on his face.

"Well Naruto, you have two bells, who will you give the other to?" Tsunade asked.

Naruto did not bother to waste time thinking "I'll give to Sakura-chan of course! If she didn't help me, we would have failed" Naruto declared as he handed the bell to Sakura who blushed a bit at the complement even though it was from Naruto.

This left Sasuke "As you know, the one who doesn't get a bell is tied to the log" Tsunade stated.

And so we find Sasuke tied to the middle log and slightly squirming due to the discomfort of his bindings.

Tsunade stepped a few meters from the log and pulled out a kunai "Ninja risk their lives for the mission correct?" Sakura and Naruto nodded.

The kunai flew from Tsunade's hand, landing dangerously close to Sasuke's face. "Wh-what are you doing sensei?" shouted Naruto.

Tsunade ignored the statement. "You will encounter many life threatening situations in the field" she said as another kunai flew from her fingers and landed closely to the right side of Sasuke's face. Naruto and Sakura proceeded to step forward but were stopped in their tracks "Don't help him!" Tsunade shouted "Make one move to help him and the both of you fail as well!" and another kunai flew from her hand and landed with a thud right between Sasuke's legs, near his groin.

If Sasuke wasn't afraid before, one could see that he was now shown by the many beads of sweat running down his face. Even Sakura looked shocked, this was also expressed by her alter ego What the hell is that bitch doing! her inner personality shouted. She looked at Tsunade who had a very evil looking grin on her face "Maybe I should end the Uchiha bloodline here." She wondered out loud while tapping the handle of the kunai she was holding against her chin. Sakura almost fainted at that remark She can't do that!

Sakura thought.

"The next one won't miss" Tsunade stated coolly and threw the kunai, intending to hit Sasuke for real this time. Sakura closed her eyes, expecting to hear the meaty thud of kunai meeting flesh and she did, but when she opened her eyes, she was extremely surprised to find Naruto in front of Sasuke, arms crossed with a kunai lodged in one of them.

"Why did you interfere!" Tsunade shouted with steel in her voice.

"I don't care about repeating another year! I don't care even if it is Sasuke-teme! I can't just stand by and watch a fellow Konoha shinobi be harmed!" Naruto shouted with determination.

Tsunade proceeded to step towards Naruto, stopping in front of him and poked him in the chest, sending him crashing into Sasuke, who was tied to the log. "Out in the field, you will be forced to make harsh decisions, are you prepared for that?" Tsunade asked. She then raised a kunai in front of Naruto and brought it down.

Shit! I can't move Naruto thought as he closed his eyes and prepared for death. Wondering why he didi not fell anything, he opened his eyes and was shocked to see Sakura in front of him, trying vainly to stop Tsunade's attack "Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted.

So strong Sakura thought as she struggled to hold Tsunade's attack, her feet making indentations in the earth from the force of Tsunade's attack. She then saw Tsunade's hand move and prepared for the inevitable, she could not help but stare when she felt a hand ruffle the hair on her head.

"You all pass" Tsunade said with a smile on her face

Sakura's knees gave way and she collapsed. Naruto and Sasuke stared agape "Oi! Oi! What do you mean by that!" Naruto shouted.

"It's just as I said, you all pass" she said a matter of factly "There will be missions that will endanger the lives of you and your teammates, nothing is more important to a team than teamwork, this test was meant to test if you were capable of teamwork and you pass with flying colors"

Sakura sighed in relief then she started to giggle which after a few moments, turned into laughter and Naruto joined in while Sasuke just smiled a bit.

"Naruto, come here" Tsunade said. Naruto did so and was startled when Tsunade grabbed his arm pulled out the kunai, eliciting a shout of pain from Naruto. "Be quiet" Tsunade ordered which caused Naruto to do so, she then raised a hand that was glowing with charka to the wound, healing it completely.

Naruto stared at the spot where his wound had been with awe "Ano sa, ano sa are you going to teach me that sensei?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"We'll see" Tsunade responded, she untied Sasuke and once again, faced the three genin "As congratulations for passing the exam, how about I treat you to some dinner?"

"Yosha! Let's have ramen!" Naruto exclaimed

"Ramen sounds good" Sakura stated, while Sasuke just nodded his head.

Later..

They had just finished eating ramen and were about to leave "Well I'm off to the Jounin meeting. Team seven starts its duties tomorrow" Tsunade said and left.

Sasuke also left giving a grunt as a sign of goodbye, leaving Sakura and Naruto "Want me to walk you home Sakura-chan?" Naruto said with glee

"No need to Naruto, I'll be alright" Sakura said while pumping a fist in the air.

"Oh" Naruto replied "Okay then, see you tomorrow Sakura-chan!" and with that, Naruto turned to leave but stopped when a hand clutched his shoulder, he turned around to find that it was Sakura "What's wrong Sakura-chan?"

"Thanks for teaching me a valuable lesson back there Naruto" she said, after which, she gave him a quick peck on the cheek before running off.

Naruto touched the spot that Sakura kissed I was just kissed by Sakura-chan! Naruto thought. The look on his face said that he should be happy but he did not feel it. Deciding that pondering such a thing would just give him a headache, he decided to just dwell on the fact that Sakura kissed him and went home, a wide grin on his face.

At the jounin "meeting"..

Tsunade stared at the odd man who was speaking up front "I would like to welcome our latest addition, Tsunade!" as the man who was known as Maito Gai "It is such a wonder to be able to reach the rank of Jounin while still in the springtime of youth!" Gai shouted while shedding tears.

The door of the bar swung open and in walked a man reading a book "Kakashi, my eternal rival! How was your team?" Kakashi looked up from his book and replied "They failed, another disappointment" before going back into his book.

"Who did you get for your team?" a woman to Tsunade's left asked "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, Yuuhi Kurenai, this chain smoker beside me is Asuma" she said while gesturing at Asuma who raised his mug and said "Yo"

"Tsunade" she responded and took a sip of her sake "My team looks promising, I got Uzumaki, Uchiha and Haruno" Kurenai nodded "Well I got the Hyuuga heiress, an Inuzuka, and an Aburame" Tsunade nodded and then they looked at Asuma "I got the InoShikaChou combination" he stated and then took a swig of his mug.

"This years genins are filled with all sorts of monsters aren't they?" Kurenai asked Asuma, who nodded in affirmation. Seeing that nobody else was going to say anything, Tsunade proceeded to drink the rest of her sake.

(A/N: sorry if this scene sucked, I don't know how to write party scenes)

Later..

Naruto was about to go to sleep when he heard a rapping at his door Who could it be at this hour? He opened the door to find Tsunade, who has holding a sake bottle in one hand with a huge grin on her face "I'm baaaaack" she said, obviously drunk and then collapsed.

Naruto shook his head and made a clone to help carry her to the bed "Man, you're pretty heavy" he said.

"Whazzhat? Are you shaying zhat I'm fat?" Tsunade angrily replied and moved to punch Naruto but since she was plastered it came out as more of a tap on his cheek.

After laying her on the bed, Naruto dispelled the clone and breathed a sigh of relief "At least you got home okay" he said out loud.

Tsunade gazed at Naruto through half-closed eyes Nawaki?.

After seeing Tsunade's eyes open, Naruto moved closer to see if she was awake but soon found himself nearly suffocating as Tsunade enveloped Naruto in a hug. "Nawaki, I'm sorry, so sorry" Tsunade repeated as she sobbed heavily "I couldn't save you, I..I..(sob) " Tsunade stuttered "I'm so useless" and cried on Naruto's shoulder.

Seeing that Tsunade was crying, Naruto clumsily returned the hug, rubbing Tsunade's back all the while in assurance. It was after a bit that Tsunade calmed down. Naruto tried to adjust his position to leave but found that he could not because of Tsunade's strength. I hope she doesn't misunderstand this in the morning Naruto thought before drifting off into sleep in Tsunade's arms.
