This was inspired by New Edge's Tsunade's first scene,... I thought it fit well here, sorry but it works really well.
"RASENGAN!" Naruto screamed, smashing into a tree, obliterating it entirely.
Jiraiya gaped. "You... you... how? It's only been under a month."
Kagami smirked. "I trained up his control first, when he got it under control I moved onto the Rasengan. It really isn't that hard, I think we even have a talent for shape manipulation. Naruto's control is actually better than I would have guessed before this. He just needed to refine it, I showed him some things Yugao taught me to help my genjutsu and boom, he could do it. Now, you owe me some Sealing training, Jiraiya!"
The old man sighed. " Fine... I wrote some scrolls up in case you managed this... read them while we go, I found where Tsunade is going to be. Come on."
"""""
It only took three hours to get to Tanazuka Town from their current location, Kagami decided to practice a new chakra control exercise he had developed after seeing the Rasengan. It was actually a Hybrid of the Leaf sticking exercise and the first Stage of the Rasengan training method. Basically, it consisted of sticking a leaf to your palm and using your chakra to spin it around like during the first stage of the Rasengan. Kagami's goal was to be able to cover his body in leaves and move them all simultaneously in differing directions.
Stretching out his chakra senses to their max, Kagami searched for the illusive Sanin.
After a few minutes, Kagami sensed her... and something else, something familiar. "Jiraiya, I sense a second Kage level chakra, and... and another Jonin level chakra. They are close, very close and their chakra is all agitated, especially the Kage level chakra..." Kagami frowned. "I can sense Tsunade, gods her flow is so perfect, no medic comes close to this, my own chakra control is like Naruto's before learning anything... how is her chakra control so good?"
Jiraiya's head snapped over to Kagami with great speed. "Take me there.
It took about ten minutes to lead Jiraiya and Naruto to Tsunade, mostly as Jiraiya made them walk to prevent them from alerting Tsunade. They found her in a bar of all places.
Tsunade!" Suddenly came from Jiraiya's loudmouth. With that, they all sat at Tsunade's table.
Kagami got a good look at Tsunade. He was shocked at her beauty and stance. Aside from her obvious inebriation, she looked flawless. Stretching his senses outward, Kagami began to examine the Sanin he admired most. Several things popped out to him.
The First thing was the Obvious Genjutsu covering her body. To Kagami, she may have just been screaming with how obvious it was to him. However, to almost anyone else, there was virtually no sign of a genjutsu presence. He had to admit, he was extremely impressed. It was actually her transformation that led him to his next observation, the seal on her forehead.
He had seen it once before, on the forehead of Mito Uzumaki that he saw in the academy textbooks. From what he could tell, it contained a massive amount of highly condensed chakra that was being passively drained directly into the seal. Knowing how hard it was to contain such condensed chakra on a passive level, Kagami was impressed. He wondered what function it served other than acting as a chakra well. There was probably some medical purpose, that was her specialty after all.
His next observation was of the potency of her chakra. It really was incredible, full of life and richness. A sure sign of a master Medic if there ever was one. Her chakra was also incredibly dense, a sign of her Uzumaki blood he was sure.
"To risk your life against all the odds, that's a sucker's bet" Kagami was drawn out from his mind as he heard the intense anger emanating from Naruto's body as those words were spoken by Tsunade. An anger that only grew as Tsunade spoke. "My Grandfather and his successor, they were all so willing to die to defend the village. Well, their both dead alright, and the village is no safer than it ever was." Kagami felt Jiraiya's anger join Naruto's, though it was nowhere near as potent.
"Sounds to me you've changed Tsunade. I don't know what's happened to make you like this, but to say such things out loud..." Jiraiya said, low and hateful.
Tsunade's next words didn't help the situation any, in fact, it made everything a lot worse.
" Don't forget, I'm not as young as I look. The years have taught me a great deal." She paused for a moment before she began to speak " Sarutobi sensei too. He should have known better, what did he expect trying to be a hero at his age." Jiraiya's anger was growing immensely, as was Naruto. However, before he had a chance to center himself, The Situation and the Idiots anger Peaked with Tsunade's next sentence. "Hmmph. Playing at Hokage, count me out its a Fool's game."
Kagami watched Naruto leaped across the table screaming " That does it!" with Jiraiya grabbing Naruto's shirt to stop him from getting at Tsunade.
After a few seconds of trying to calm Naruto, Kagami belted out. "ENOUGH!"
''''
Tsunade was amazed at the instant changes in the two blondes. The energetic, annoying one froze in fear. The quieter one was radiating rage and annoyance.
" I'm not going to let her sit there and make fun of the old man." It seemed the blonde's anger had won " No way. I don't care if she is a lady, I'll knock that cynical sneer off her face."
Tsunade's blood warmed right up at the boy's threats, so she stood on the table and said " Are you challenging me?"
::::
Kagami was ready to tear out Naruto's spine. Did the idiot learn nothing from their meeting with Itachi and Kisame? All of Kagami's earlier anger turned into pure annoyance, as a thought came to him.
"Those that cant learns, Must Feel."
" Are you challenging me?" Was the lady really going to stoop so low as to beat up on a weak little genin? How petty can she be? He immediately got his answer" You've got guts if nothing else. Let's take this outside kid" Apparently she was very petty. It kind of reminded Kagami of Jiraiya behavior. Were all the Sanin just spoiled children?
Kagami's attention was turned to the Tsunade's pretty companion as she spoke.
"No, No" Apparently he was not the only sane and rational person. Tsunade's companion was just as annoyed as he was, though she was also very worried for Naruto's safety.
Sighing, he turned to the woman. "Sorry, Naruto is a moron and apparently so is your mentor."
She sighed. "I know... I love her but her skull is sort of thick..."
They all go outside and watched Tsunade destroyed Naruto.
Naruto charged, screaming with anger, only to be flicked in the forehead and sent flying, show casing Tsunade's terrifiyng strength. Irritated and determined, Naruto gathered his chakra in his palms, forming a rasengan and charged the Lady... who slammed her finger into the ground, creating a small crevice that knocked Naruto over.
"He can do the rasengan, in both hands. What are you teaching him, Jiraiya?"
Kagami laughed. " I taught him that, Jiraiya spent most of the month whoring..."
She turned to him. " You know the rasengan as well?"
Kagami showed it to her. "I may have high chakra levels, higher than yours even, but my control is pretty damn good.:"
"Clearly..."
" Tsunade, I have a Proposition for you" The women turned toward him, clearly interested.
" What would that be?" M
" Simple really. I would like to fight you at the end of the week. If I managed to hit you at once, then you will agree to train me fully in seals. I ... I am an Uzumaki and I know nothing of seals besides what little Jiraiya has taught me. I want to become a master like those long past. I saw the seal on your forehead, I can't imagine what it does... you are an Uzumaki, trained by many powerful sealers. I want you to help me master it all. Everything you know, I want to know."
Raising her eyebrow, the woman responded " And if you fail to do so?"
" I will pay off one of your debts."
The apprentice's head whipped toward him " Do you even have that kind of money?" she asked him.
"I am in the reserves and I take D ranks by myself so I get full pay. I could probably pay off at least one of your debts. I have actually accumulated a fair amount of money."
:::
Tsunade wasn't sure about this kid's deal. But the idea of him paying one of her debts was very appealing to the Slug Sanin. Plus she was a freaking Sanin, what could go wrong? Even with her shitty luck, there shouldn't be an issue.
" You got a deal kid. If you manage at least one solid hit on my body during our fight at the end of the week, then I will train you fully in sealing. When you fail, and you will, you will pay a debt of my choosing. No backing out now"
For some reason, the sudden smile on the boy's face unnerved Tsunade.
"No backing out at all Tsunade, I'll expect you to remember that when the time comes." The boy then turned and left with Jiraiya and Naruto.
Why did it feel as if she had just fallen right into the boy's trap?
::::
Jiraiya gaped at Kagami's apparent stupidity. How could he think he could land even a single hit on an Sanin and evasion master like Tsunade? Walking up to Kagami the man questioned Him. " What the hell was that? There is no way you will be able to win the bet, so why did you do it?"
Jiraiya would have said more, but the words stopped when Kagami turned to him. "Seals take years to master, even as smart as I am, how hard I work... By winning this bet, I will have guaranteed Tsunade's presence in the village for at least as long as it takes me. We can use that time to wear her down, help her to build up her attachments to the village again." Jiraiya was floored at the boy's manipulation. That was genius, absolute genius.
"Do you think you can hit her?"
"Yes, I do. Barely but yet. I am not a weak ninja and she is rusty... it will be hard, and I might end up in the hospital but still worth it, right?"
Jiraiya just sighed. "I hope you can manage it..."
"I will do my best, Jiraiya... I really will."
And with that, Jiraiya no longer looked at Kagami and saw Minato or Kushina, he saw someone entirely different and powerful... someone meaner, someone stronger in many ways... and that was utterly terrifying.
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a lot of fun to write.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
