"Umm, Tsunade-sama?" Naruto asked, knocking on her door. He had learned that, in comparison with what Tsunade would do, Sakura's hit was a love-tap. So now when he needed something from the Hokage he was somewhat respectful.
He stood there another five minutes before he heard her coming, cursing under her breath occasionally. He heard some other odd noises sometimes, but the Chuunin secretary said that she was busy in there. So he accepted the noises as either as either sleeping-grunts or frustration-grunts.
When he saw her disheveled appearance before him he decided it was the former of the two. He smiled and tried walking in but she blocked him with her arm and a sharp "What do you want?" Okay, she was obviously grouchy.
"Well, I wanted to ask you some favors." he said cautiously, knowing she wasn't in the favor-giving mood, let alone multiple ones. In fact he considered himself somewhat lucky that she did not just kick him out or slam the door in his face for disturbing her unnecessarily.
"What are they?" she said vehemently in a 'this better be worth it' tone that made his skin crawl with goosebumps. He smiled weakly before he spoke.
"Well, you have a constant eye on all the shinobi, so can you tell me where Kakashi-sensei is?" he asked quietly, noting the whisper of a blush coming to her when he finished speaking. However, as son as it was there it was gone again and she said that she'd check.
"Anything else?" she asked, her voice a lot calmer than when she opened the door.
"Well, can you tell me what this is made of?" he asked, holding up the necklace she had given him, the one that held her most prized possession. At the sight of it broken her eyes popped open in shock and she grabbed it suddenly.
"How'd you break it?" she demanded, her voice once again becoming excited.
"Oh, I didn't Tsunade-sama. Sakura-chan did it a while ago." he answered, calming down significantly. The mere mention of her acceptance, and his memory of the event, was enough to calm him down to Shikamaru-like levels. Also the fuzzy warmth he felt was something he wouldn't complain about.
"What did you do this time?" Tsunade asked as she examined the necklace, knowing full well Sakura's tendency to injure her teammate. At this he smiled softly, his eyes dancing vividly.
"I got her to go out with me!" he shouted, his voice seeming out of place in this calm Naruto. In fact his tone and excitement was similar to that of Tsunade's when he proposed to her all those many years ago.
When she heard that Tsunade immediately fell into shock, almost dropping the string but not quite. After that she was instantly filled bountiful pride. She, and just about everyone else in Konoha (thanks to his constant yelling of Sakura-chan), knew just how he felt about her young apprentice and she couldn't help but feel happy at the news. However, her pleased look completely changed when she finally took in the state of his dress. "What the hell are you wearing, Naruto?" she exclaimed, pointing to his ruined clothes.
"Well, Sakura-chan did this too." he muttered, laughing meekly as he shyly looked up at her. "I was wondering if Kakashi-sensei could wash them and dry them for me. Then maybe I could try to sew them back to normal." he admitted, looking up at her for approval.
"Stupid Idiot! Gimme them!" Tsuande shouted, holding out her hand as she awaited the clothes impatiently.
So, after much blushing and stuttering, Naruto cast a Henge and gave her his clothes. Walking out of the Hokage's Tower, Naruto was completely oblivious to what was happening in the blond's office.
She moved to her desk, pushing away all of the papers littering it. Throwing down the tattered clothes on the wood, her hands made a faint green light as she dragged them up and acroos his clothes. Soon, after about ten minutes, she had transformed them back into their normal state and even made the black shirt a slick button-down, complete with small silver buttons.
After all, nobody said that medical ninjutsu had to be used to heal people. So when she was done she handed it to the lazy, sweaty Jounin to her left, looking the man in his surprised face.
"Clean these and dry them; then bring them to Naruto. Your students have a date tonight."
