===Aug 2, 10:30 AM, Senju Estate, Front Hall===
"Mei, Konan, Tayuya, Fuu... I have some important announcements... about a half hour ago I finished a meeting with the Hokage and the Council, then I had a private meeting with the Hokage, my former team mate Jiraiya... and the son of two very close friends that died about five years ago when he was born... I adopted him, you girls have a brother." Tsunade said calmly, but slightly nervous, she wasn't sure how they'd react. "Tell me what you think about this, and be honest." Tsunade said, watching intently.
Konan was surprised, then after a moment of thought smiled. "I like the idea of having a little brother."
Tsunade smiled at her.
"I don't know if I want a boy here... but I'll give him a chance. And I'll have someone to fight... I mean spar with." Tayuya said.
Tsunade gently glared at the little red-haired girl, currently trying too hard to smile innocently.
"Is he older than me?" Fuu said.
"Younger, by about five months. His birthday is October 10." Tsunade said.
Fuu thought a few moments, her face scrunched up, then she half smiled. "So I'd have a lil brother?" Fuu said excitedly.
"Yes, so would Tayuya-chan, but only because his birthday is near the end of the year, not the start like the rest of you, excpet Mei who's is in the middle of the year. But she doesn't count." Tsunade said, her smile returning.
Fuu yelled excitedly. "I wanna meet him, is he here?"
"In a minute Fuu-chan. Mei, what do you say... wanna be an Aunt?" Tsunade said with a smirk.
"Big sister." Mei said calmly to Tsunade, gently glaring at her.
"Okay... so what do you say, baby." Tsunade said, still smirking.
"Goo goo gaga." Mei said with a smirk.
The girls broke out laughing.
Tsunade clenched her jaw a moment, she could almost hear Shizune laughing.
"So, is my nephew here?" Mei said calmly. She knew that was mean, but she had to emotionally 'twist Tsunade's nipples' once in a while to keep her 'in line' and 'on the right track' for her future, which she hoped meant a calm, relaxed, loving Tsunade by her side raising their family... and beside her in bed.
Tsunade shut her eyes a moment, took a deep breath and let it out. "Glad to hear that... and we'll talk later. He's in the livingroom, we stopped at his old place on the way and packed up his things." Tsunade said then lead them into the livingroom and to the couch where he was sitting, nervous. He popped to his feet when he saw them. "Girls, introduce yourselves."
"Fuu... I'm six." Fuu said nervously but excitedly with a small smile and nod.
Naruto smiled and nodded back.
"Tayuya, I'm six." Tayuya said, doing her best to look intimidating.
Naruto just smiled at her, he knew what she was doing, he'd met kids like her before, boys and girls.
"Konan, I'm ten, so I'm in charge of you." Konan said with a small smile.
Naruto smiled broadly. "Good luck with that."
Mei held in her laughter, but it was still heard, and her breasts jiggled under her shirt as she laughed. "Mei... how old I am is none of your business." Mei said in a friendly, but firm way.
Naruto laughed a moment then nodded. "Naruto Uzumaki, Five!" He exclaimed proudly.
Tsunade sighed. "Now that you've all met, we've been invited to dinner at the Hyuuga Estate by the Clan Head, Hiashi. Everyone will be on their best behavior tonight or I will be very upset." Tsunade said very firmly as she glared at the girls and Mei, who nodded immediately, they knew she was serious, then turned to Naruto. "As for you Naruto... you're getting a bath, a good lunch, then I'm taking you to get new clothes, then the rest of the day we'll spend getting you aquatinted with everyone, learning the rules of the house, and teaching you some manners for tonight. Got it?" Tsunade said firmly, glaring at him.
"Yeah... so, where's my room?" Naruto asked.
===12:22 PM, Business District===
Tsunade was struggling to hold in her emotions, she'd pretended not to see the looks they were giving Naruto when they thought she wasn't looking. She wasn't going to do anything yet, but she did memorize every face that looked at the son of 2 of the best friends she ever had. As she was thinking about what she'd like to do to them, she flashed back to Anko Mitarashi and the chat they had that morning. The recently promoted Special Jonin, despite only being in her mid-teens, was probably 1 of the few in Konoha that could understand what she, Mei and Naruto had been through, mainly due to who her former Sensei was and that she was also an orphan and large parts of her memory were missing... also due to her own former team mate, another reason she had to kill that bastard. "Here we are."
"This is a dress store!" Naruto said, slightly panicked.
Tsunade laughed. "No Naruto, this is a clothing store for shinobi only. I haven't been here in over five years, but I knew this would be here, the owner is an old friend of mine, and before you say anything about her being a old lady like you did me, remember this... she's one of my best friends, she was also one of your parents best friends, she use to be a Jonin..." Tsunade said then gave him a sadistic smile. "She's an expert with needles and will be fitting your clothes, so unless you want to be her pin cushion..."
Naruto's eyes got big as saucers, he HATED needles, he wasn't afraid of them, but he didn't want them in him if he could avoid it. "Okay, okay, I'll be nice, I promise!"
Tsunade smiled. "I knew you were a smart boy. You just remember what I told you about how to treat a lady, regardless of her age, and you'll be fine... or I'll do to your butt what I did to that tree stump." Tsunade said with a smile.
Naruto paled slightly as he remembered her small demonstration earlier, the sight of her spanking that tree stump into the ground, out of sight, was something he did NOT want to experience. He nodded hard.
Tsunade smiled, nothing got a point across to, or made a lasting impression on, someone like a demonstration. She lead him in, the ring of the little bell over the door made her smile a little bigger for a moment, then it turned into a devious smirk. "Where's the overdeveloped slut that runs this third rate sweat shop!" Tsunade yelled angrily.
Naruto looked up at Tsunade like she was crazy, was this a trap?
"I'm overdeveloped? If your tits were any bigger you'd have shinobi living on them, the village hidden in the cleavage!" Hotaru yelled back just before she came onto view of her old friend, then froze in horror, clapping her hands over her mouth, eyes big as saucers as she stared at the small blonde boy standing next to Tsunade. "No, no, no nonononono." Hotaru said as she started slowly shaking her head.
"Go to the left side and look for something you like and mind your own business, I'll be there in a minute." Tsunade commanded, saw him nod and dash off. She stepped close to Hotaru, her expression of a comforting best friend. "Relax Hotaru-chan, please, it's okay."
Hotaru looked into her old friend's eyes a few moments, then slowly lowered her hands, but she didn't relax much. "Is he... yours?" Hotaru asked carefully.
"Not by blood, but I did adopt him, though it isn't official yet. He's, their, son." Tsunade said, putting extra emphasis on 'their'.
Hotaru looked at her a moment, then nearly gasped when she realized who Tsunade meant. "The law..."
"Doesn't apply in this case... he knows. besides, by tomorrow night the entire village will too, that law has been lifted, he's going to make a public announcement tomorrow morning telling everyone who his parents were." Tsunade said.
"What about..." Hotaru said,
Tsunade knew from her expression what she meant. "That's still a secret, as is the part of the law concerning it. At least for now, when he turns twelve I'll tell him, maybe ten if I think he can handle it... assuming nothing happens to force the issue sooner than that. Look... I'm sorry, but I didn't think you'd react like that, I thought you'd know who he was already... everyone else in this damned village seems to." Tsunade said, a little anger in her voice at the last part.
Hotaru nodded and mostly relaxed. "So, you're here to get him new clothes?" She asked, a little hope on her face and in her voice.
Tsunade smirked, she knew that expression very well. "I also have a female friend and 3 unofficial daughters, we have a semi-formal dinner with Hiashi tonight... money isn't a problem, but please Hotaru... don't sink your claws too deep into my soft spots." Tsunade said with a small smirk.
Hotaru smiled broadly and nodded, then glanced around briefly. "Where's your apprentice... um Shizune I think her name is?"
Sadness overpowered Tsunade's face. "Was." She said, lowering her head slightly.
Hotaru suddenly had a big lump in her throat she forced down. "I'm sorry... may I come over tomorrow for dinner, we can catch up properly."
Tsunade's smile half returned. "I'd like that..., six o'clock, Senju Estate. Wear something casual... in fact, if you're free I need a kunoichi favor." Tsunade said with a certain smile she knew Hotaru would recognize.
"I'm a little rusty... but for you Tsunade-chan, I'll do it." Hotaru said with a smile. "Now, I believe we have some shopping to do."
Tsunade sighed and shook her head in amusement. 'Good, maybe I'll try a few things on. I forgot how hot it gets here in August. I'm getting sweaty in places I only touch when I shower.' Tsunade thought as she followed Hotaru.
===1:30 PM===
"Now that you have casual clothes and several training outfits to try out... that just leaves a formal outfit to try on, now go change so we can see how it looks... and don't even try to argue, everyone has to have formal clothes for special occasions." Tsunade said held in her smirk at his pout, then watched him head back into the changing room. She turned to Hotaru when she felt the sudden chakra surge and ki coming from her. "What's wrong?"
Her face half showing her rage. she let out a breath to calm herself. "When I was checking him a few minutes ago, I asked about the orange jumpsuits he wears... one of the things he told me was that's all he has, as you know, but he got them from a bargain bin and..." Hotaru stopped a moment to close her eyes and take another calming breath. "For a dozen of those outfits... he paid over three hundred Ryo! It shouldn't of cost more than thirty, forty at most. It isn't even the first time that bastard Kenji has done this to him either, Naruto just doesn't know how badly he's been overcharged." Hotaru said quietly, suppressing her rage.
Tsunade clenched her fists hard, cracking all her knuckles. Her eye happened to catch the time on the wall clock and she smiled as an idea formed. "You need a break, might I suggest lunch with an old friend and her adopted son?" Tsunade said with a devious smile and saw some confusion on Hotaru's face. "Of course I'll be a little late, I have a quick errand to run down the street." Tsunade said and smiled sadistically.
Hotaru almost flinched in fear, then caught on and smiled. "I've love to join you for lunch Tsunade-chan, once we finish up here."
===1:53 PM, Ichiraku Ramen===
"I hope Tsunade-san isn't going to be too long, I was really looking forward to meeting her." The 12 year Ayame said as she handed Naruto his second bowl of ramen.
"She'll be here soon... trust me, nothing short of Divine Intervention can stop her when it comes to people she cares about." Hotaru said then looked to her right and smiled at Naruto.
===Down The Street===
Tsunade got about 10 steps into the store and stopped as a well dressed, slightly taller man in his 50's based on his face and gray streaked black hair, when he came up to her with a big fake smile. "Are you Kenji, the owner?" Tsunade inquired casually, her top intentionally open more than normal to expose almost a foot of cleavage, a subtle sexual lilt in her voice. She internally smiled as he reacted as she'd hoped. She hadn't done it in years, but was glad her seduction skills hadn't rusted. He nearly lost his composure, his eyes subtly focused on her breasts... for a civilian he was subtle, she had him right where she wanted him. She stepped close, lightly pressing her huge breasts against his body.
"How may I help you?" Kenji said, then the blonde hair and blue diamond on her forehead, combined with the huge breasts, triggered his memory. "TsunaahhHH!" Kenji said, suddenly screaming as blinding pain filled his mind and obliterated all other thoughts..
Tsunade smiled sadistically as she cinched in her crushing grip on his balls. "We're going to have a quick chat about Naruto Uzumaki and then you're going to refund everything he ever paid you... or I'm going to give you a personal demonstration why I'm the most powerful kunoichi walking the planet." Tsunade said coldly then viciously lifted him up onto his toes by his manhood.
===5:24 PM, Outside The Hyuuga Main Gate===
"Here comes Lady Tsunade and..." The right guard said.
"Are you trying to get killed?" The left guard interrupted. "Did you forget what she said, anyone that calls her that she'll kill." The Cadet Branch member said to the other.
The right guard paled noticeably as he remembered what the older Cadet Branch woman said to them earlier that day, Tsunade's first apprentice called her that, and she was killed recently. "Thank you."
A minute later she reached the Gate. "Tsunade and guests for Dinner." Tsunade said, noting the guard in front of her looked like he'd just been badly frightened, despite his composure.
"Hai... Tsunade-san, I'll notify Hiashi-sama at once." He said then opened the Gate and went in.
Mei noticed him as well, and the nervous pause before he said her name. She casually stepped over to the other and leaned in. "I saw his reaction as we approached... he almost referred to her as, Lady, didn't he?" Mei whispered and saw him nod subtly. "Then you just saved his life." Mei whispered and returned to Tsunade's side. "I was just checking something, nothing to worry about."
Tsunade nodded. She soon heard footsteps on the other side of the Gate. "Remember, best behavior or you'll miss the surprise I have planned for later."
The kids all nodded.
The Gate opened, the guard came out returning to his post as a beautiful Hyuuga woman came out and smiled.
"Hakumei?" Tsunade said, a smile and minor shock on her face. "I haven't seen you since you made Jonin."
She nodded. "We both were rather busy a few years before... please follow me, Hiashi-sama is waiting for you." Hakumei said.
As they followed her in and across the Compound, Mei turned to Tsunade. "From what I've heard Hyuuga are emotionless, but she was smiling. Is the rumor wrong?" Mei whispered.
Tsunade smirked. "Generally they are, but Hakumei is an exception, I'll explain later." Tsunade said quietly.
===5:27 PM, Hyuuga Main Hall===
"Dear Kami." Mei whispered to herself when she entered the Main Hall.
Tsunade subtly glanced at Mei. "I told you she was beautiful." Tsunade whispered to Mei.
'That's an insult... she's a goddess... please Kami, let her be bi-sexual so she can join us after I get Tsunade.' Mei thought.
"Tsunade-chan, it's been far too long." Hannah said happily, standing to Hiashi's right, she held out her arms.
Smiling happily she walked over and gave Hannah a big hug.
"I'm so sorry to hear about Shizune." Hannah whispered in her ear as she hugged her old friend.
"Thank you." Tsunade whispered, fought back the tears forming in her eyes then broke the hug when she was ready..
"Please, you must introduce me to your family... something I never thought I'd say to you." Hannah said, smiling.
"You're lucky you're pregnant." Tsunade said with a playful glare.
"Not on your best day, or did you forget about that day we..." Hannah said then Tsunade suddenly put her hand over her mouth.
Pushing down her emotions she lowered her hand. "We can discuss the old days another time, when the kids aren't around." Tsunade said, pleading to Hannah with her eyes.
Hannah nodded.
"The older red head is Mei from Mist. The little red head is Tayuya, she's six, the shy girl with the green hair is Fuu from Waterfall, also six. The young lady with the blue hair with the paper flower in it is Konan from Rain, she's Ten...and last, but definitely not least, is the newest member of my little family, I'm sure you'd heard of him... Naruto Uzumaki, five." Tsunade said, pointing to each as she introduced them.
"A pleasure to meet all of you... especially you Naruto-kun... did Tsunade tell you I knew your parents?" Hannah said, smiling.
Naruto nodded and smiled. "Yes, will you tell me about 'em later?"
"I'd love to... but first I want you to meet my precious Princess." Hannah said then reached behind herself with her left and gently forced a small girl out from behind her into the open. "This is Hinata, she's four. Say hello to our guests Hinata-chan."
Hinata nervously bowed. "H,hello."
Naruto smiled at her. he'd never met anyone that wasn't just more nervous than he was, but looked like she was afraid of him. She definitely seemed nice though, and was pretty like her mom. "Don't be scared, we won't hurt you... Tsunade is scary, she beat up a tree earlier and then spanked it right into the ground. You got it easy... she ever spanks me I'll never sit again!" Naruto said, smiled then started laughing.
Tayuya's face turned red as she held in her laughter, shaking slightly.
Hinata giggled briefly, then turned and looked at her parents, almost afraid.
Hannah started laughing. 'That sounds like her!"
Hiashi even smiled. "Go ahead Hinata-chan, Tsunade is a special friend... it's okay to relax."
"Go ahead Hinata-chan, it's okay for tonight." Hannah said in her normal, gentle voice.
Hinata nodded, then smiled at them and turned back to Naruto. "You're funny." Hinata said almost meekly.
===7:16 PM, Dining Room===
Tsunade looked up at the ceiling and sighed sadly after Naruto let out a very loud, long, burp, the whole room was silent. "Why are you doing this to me... this is for the drinking isn't it?"
"I'm sorry." Naruto said sincerely, almost quietly as he looked around, everyone staring at him.
"As this is my house..." Hannah said then unleashed a burp that sounded almost like a thunderclap. "I've waited years to do that... and don't give me that look Hiashi, this isn't one of your stuffy meetings, this is Tsunade."
A red-faced Hiashi sighed. "Minato did it just to annoy me... and Kushina didn't care... see what you did to me Tsunade."
"Welcome to my life for the last ten months." Tsunade said dryly.
The girls and Mei started laughing, Naruto fell back off his cushion, holding his stomach and laughing hysterically.
'I know you can hear me up there Shizune... I give up okay... you win, just stop torturing me and I swear I'll try to relax a little more and have some fun. Some birthday this is... maybe I should of told them, at least Mei.' Tsunade thought, then a moment later she almost leapt to her feet, she'd swear she almost felt a hand on her shoulder where Shizune had last touched her in that warehouse.
===5 Minutes Later, Main Hall===
Thank you for dinner Hiashi, Hannah, the food was excellent... and I'm sorry I was gone so long. I hope we can do this again some time... once we're all settled in we could return the favor." Tsunade said.
"I'd love to Tsunade-chan, thank you." Hannah said and hugged Tsunade then Mei.
"Good-bye Konan, Tayuya, Fuu... Naruto-kun." Hinata said with a small smile and little wave.
"Thanks... bye Hinata-chan, see a later!" Naruto said with his big smile and wave.
===8:10 PM, Senju Estate, Livingroom===
"So what's the surprise Tsunade, we're all changed. Did that person at the door earlier bring ya something?" Naruto said, getting a little excited at the thought of a gift.
Leaning against the wall next to the closed door to the guest room attached to it, Tsunade smiled deviously, which made Naruto and the girls nervous, including Mei. "No." Tsunade said and knocked on the door.
A few moments later it opened and when a woman walked out everyone gasped. She wore an orange trimmed, pine green Gi, on the back was the image of a metal kimono in front of 2 crossed needles. It was tied around her waist with a wide black Obi like Tsunade's, and like the blonde Sannin her top was working hard to contain her huge breasts. Below it were navy-blue kunoichi shorts that hugged her thighs, stopping below her knees. On her feet were navy-blue kunoichi sandals. A Leaf hitai-ite was tied around her forehead with a blue cloth that matched her sparkling blue eyes. Her orange hair was in a ponytail that went down to her waist.
"Greetings. I'm Hotaru Kazenagare, Owner of the Iron Kimono, a shinobi only clothing store. I'm a good friend of Tsunade, a retired Jonin and I'm here to give all five of you a full evaluation of your skills. Shall we step outside and find out who's going first."
"She is!" The girls and Naruto said together pointing at Mei, who whimpered quietly.
"I won't be going to the Academy, why do I have to get tested." Mei grumbled.
"Because I'm already on file and just need to update, you're at least Jonin level, have 2 Bloodline-Limits... and you aren't registered in Konoha. To live here as a Leaf kunoichi, they have to know what you can do." Tsunade said.
"If I didn't owe you for saving me... you'd be wearing a Lava bra right now." Mei said then headed for the door.
Hotaru gave Tsunade a brief icy glare, then headed for the door, thinking about how to test Mei's abilities without getting incinerated, if she could use Lava. Tsunade didn't tell her that.
