Note: This is a story of inter-connected drabbles at various lengths, taking place during the original 'Naruto' series. Please let me know what pairings you would like, bearing in mind that Naruto and the others are 12 and Kagome is an adult!


Chapter 3: Assurance.

A large curving desk was situated in the Hokage tower, usually it contained neat piles of scrolls stacked orderly. One for urgent requests from leaf shinobi, one from leaf civilians, another with proposals, another for resources. A smaller pile contained building requests, next to that had political treaties. In a tray upon the desk medical papers sat. Today, sake bottles littered the desk, and behind them, drooling with her head upon a large, worn scroll, Tsunade, the Hokage snored.

On the floor lay a scrap of white silk, in her lap a small scroll unfurled around her fingers, the writing impeccably elegant but to the point.

'I have found a way to solve our mutual problem. Tomorrow I will send the resource you need. The next part is up to you.'
