===Aug 2, 8:18 PM, Senju Estate, Training Area 1===

"We only have about an hour of daylight so I'll be brief. Due to some of you having... unusual abilities, I'll only be testing your Taijutsu and physical abilities... such as your strength, speed, and skill level. I don't have her strength, but like Tsunade I'm tougher than I look. I'm an Elite Jonin, so please don't hold back unless told to. If you do manage to hurt me, Tsunade can heal me. Your other skills will be tested later. Are you ready Mei?" Hotaru said.

"Hai... and the same applies to me. I may be soft on the outside, but never doubt my power or skills as a kunoichi." Mei said firmly then took what looked like a model pose. right foot back, turned outward, left forward, hands on her hips, left hand low, right high, her body turned slightly so her left was forward. 'I'll never be taken like that again.' Mei thought.

Hotaru scanned Mei's outfit, she hadn't changed since dinner. Her red hair worn up in that odd style, then cascaded down to her ankles. She had on a purple trimmed, blue silk ankle-length, short-sleeved dress over an armored mesh undershirt, the dress slit up to her hips on both sides, and blue kunoichi sandals. While it highlighted her body superbly, it wasn't meant for battle.

When Mei took her stance Hotaru was surprised, Mei didn't seem to be taking her seriously. She was about to mention Mei's minor insult when an old memory leapt to the front of her mind... it was Mei's stance. 'No, it can't be... I know she's from Mist, but... could Mei of been... her, final apprentice? I have to know if Mei is the last practitioner of the Dancing Water Lily fighting style.' Hotaru thought.

Tsunade noticed Mei's stance as well, and was wondering if Mei had a formal training, or was self taught. Tsunade doubted Mei taught herself though, something about Mei's stance bothered her, like she'd encountered it before... but if she had, where? Tsunade shook it off, she'd figure it out later.

===4 Minutes 30 Seconds Later===

Hotaru did a sweep kick Mei quickly hopped over, quickly flowing into a palm strike to the chest... and Mei very quickly spun behind her and slapped her butt... yet again, she was getting sore there. Hotaru turned to face her and as she expected found Mei standing about 8 feet away smiling. "I think that's enough of this show... next!"

Mei strolled over to Hotaru. "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you, but I'd of preferred to just tell you I'm a Kage level kunoichi. Before you ask how a bunch of thugs caught me... don't." Mei said then leaned in. "Just between us... a, private, spar would of been more fun... you're almost as impressive as Tsunade." Mei whispered, glancing down at Hotaru's chest, a sexual lilt in her voice on 'private'.

"Oh, and I don't throw myself at every beautiful woman I meet, only the special ones Tsunade trusts... like you. You want to talk or... get to know me better... you know where to find me, I'm in serious need of some adult fun." Mei whispered and winked, then turned and headed for Tsunade. "My turn to pick... have fun Konan."

Konan sighed.

"Bye Konan-chan... I'll miss you." Tayuya said, smirking to hold on her laughter.

"Oh shut up... lil bitch, you're going after me." Konan said, smiled at the last part then walked out.

Fuu giggled.

"MEANIE!" Tayuya yelled.

===8:49 PM===

"Okay, Konan, Tayuya, Fuu, Naruto... get inside and cleaned up, I want all of you in bed by 9:30... and I will check on you. Hotaru, Mei, stay here." Tsunade said, got a nod from them, then watched them run inside. "Based on what you saw, I want a full assessment... Konan?"

Hotaru thought a moment then let out a breath. "Of the girls, Konan's Taijutsu was influenced most by your style. She's very efficient and calculating, mid to long range I'd say. I noticed she had to stop herself from using her origami ability. I've only seen a small sample of it, but she has the potential to reach Kage level. Despite her skill, her Taijutsu is limited, don't let her rely only on her special ability, keep her balanced until she's a Chuunin."

"Agreed." Tsunade said, that confirmed her basic plans. Now with Konoha's resources she could really start.

"Tayuya and Fuu aren't old enough for a proper evaluation, but you're taking them in the right direction for their unique abilities. Tayuya is impulsive and acts on her instincts, as you know very well, but I recommend she a full kunoichi evaluation as soon as possible, my instincts tell me there's something special about her." Hotaru said.

"I'm going to talk to Sarutobi about them tomorrow anyway, I'll arrange it. And Fuu?" Tsunade said.

"I have to give the same evaluation to Fuu and Naruto. Other than Fuu's lack of confidence, both have the same special problem. They'll need special training for that, but you can help by pairing the together for sparring and other training. Where Fuu is weak, Naruto is strong, and vice-versa, they can help each other a lot." Hotaru said.

"Okay Hotaru, say it...I can take it." Tsunade said calmly, but inside her emotions were churning.

Hotaru sighed. "I know you thought of this and are resisting it... I'm sorry Tsunade, but this isn't about you, and you know it. Jiraiya is the only person that can help them learn to control their power, and the sooner the better."

Tsunade sighed sadly and pouted. "I know, we've discussed it, briefly, but I was hoping to put it off a little while. I respect Jiraiya's skills, but he's the biggest pervert I've ever met in my life and... I don't want him influencing Naruto before I get him a solid mental and emotional foundation, so he'll be a good man like his father. Or at least keep the perviness to a minimum, publicly anyway."

"Don't worry about that Tsunade, don't forget he's going to grow up in a home full of kunoichi, he'll learn soon enough how to treat women." Mei said and grinned.

Tsunade laughed softly and smiled. "Good point, thanks Mei."

"Speaking of... you've been gone for years, and with this big house... do you have room for a few more special orphans?" Hotaru asked, slightly nervous.

Tsunade's eyebrows raised slightly. "Who did you have in mind?"

"The girl most in need you've already met... Anko Mitarashi." Hotaru said.

===10:02 PM, Tsunade's Bedroom===

Wearing her new red trimmed, green silk pajamas Tsunade stopped next to her bed, then against her will her head turned and she looked at her alarm clock and flinched. "Dammit Shizune stop doing this to me... I hear you alright. I'll talk to her." Tsunade said dejectedly, turned and headed for her door.

A minute later she was standing outside the door, then she heard the doorknob and it opened about a foot. "Can I come in Mei?" Tsunade asked softly.

Slightly shocked, Mei nodded, opened the door and stepped back. "Hai, come in... why the late visit, Hotaru went home and the girls are asleep... is something wrong, this isn't like you?"

Tsunade nodded and walked in, waiting a moment until she hear it lock before turning to face Mei. "Something is wrong, but not how you might think... can we sit down first?"

Mei lead Tsunade across the room and around to the right side of the bed where she was reading and sat on the side near her pillow, facing the foot of the bed and patted it. Tsunade sat next to her so they were facing.

"Do you know what today is?" Tsunade asked.

Mei cocked her head sightly left. "August 2."

"Do you know what's special about today?" Tsunade asked and Mei shook her head. "Today is my birthday, I'm 44."

Mei's eyes opened wide.

"Hell of a birthday huh?" Tsunade said dryly and half-heartedly chuckled. This is very hard for me, so please don't say anything until I'm done." Tsunade said, looking into Mei's eyes... she nodded.

"I know how you feel about me Mei, you can hide it from almost anyone else, but I'm not just anyone. I'm not offended, I've been with men and women for missions and personally. I'm even a little flattered you'd find someone twice your age attractive, but you haven't seen my true appearance. I can't keep pushing people that care about me away... you've earned this privilege." Tsunade said, sighed, and released her special Henge.

Mei watched, her senses now amped to maximum, as if she was in battle. The first change she saw was the most obvious, Tsunade's top tightened as her obviously braless breasts swelled several cup sizes at least. Next she noticed her hands, while still beautiful, they took on the appearance of soft leather. She'd avoided looking back in Wave, but already had a basic idea of her true appearance..

Moving her line of sight upward, Tsunade's face only changed slightly, a few small wrinkles around her eyes and mouth, her skin took on that soft leather appearance you'd expect on a battle hardened kunoichi her age, and her blond hair above and just past her ears on the sides turned white, and streaks appeared in the rest that gave it a lighter blond look.

"Do you match?' Mei asked glancing down at Tsunade's crotch, then clapped her hands over her mouth. "Oh Kami I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay Mei." Tsunade interrupted politely, a small smile on her face. "Honestly, I haven't shaved in years and I honestly don't know."

"Wait... before you say more, in Wave, at the warehouse after you saved us, when you broke down over Shizune you... did it." Mei said.

Tsunade stiffened suddenly. "I did? I thought my arms looked different that it was just the tears and my emotions, so I guess I reactivated it, because I looked 30 when I woke up in the room with Tsunami standing over me. I can change at will... it was a reflex." Tsunade said, stood and pulled her bottoms halfway down her thighs. "Well?"

"And I thought I was shaggy. You don't need a razor, you need a Katana... oh, you're turning white. You're a light blond already " Mei said.

Tsunade pulled up her bottoms and sat down. "I know you want to make love to me, and while I could do that, it'd just be to relieve my guilt, and I won't do that to you. For my heart to be in it and give you what you deserve... what we deserve, I have to rebuild my life here, fix some old mistakes and repay some old debts."

"I understand, the kids come first. I can wait Tsunade-chan. But I'd like to help you. As a birthday present, and a way to help you start over... let me shave you clean." Mei said slightly nervous.

"You know that I should punch you through the wall for suggesting that." Tsunade said and saw Mei nod nervously. "But... this is a special occasion so I'll let it slide... on the condition that you will never, tell anyone about this night, and especially what I'm about to let you do." Tsunade said calmly, then her expression turned stone cold dead, making Mei flinch in fear. "If you do... I swear on Shizune's soul I'll give you a beating the likes of which even Kami has never seen." Tsunade said in a dead voice then raised and clenched right fist, cracking the knuckles.

"Understood, you have my most solemn vow as a woman, a kunoichi and your friend." Mei said sincerely.

Tsunade relaxed and smiled. "Good, because I'd hate to destroy that beautiful body before I got to fuck it... and the girls would miss you." She said, stood, quickly removed her pajamas and headed for the attached bathroom.

"She's the scariest person I even met... but worth the effort to get her in bed." Mei said quietly and followed her. In the bathroom Mei gathering her shaving supplies while Tsunade got ready in the shower. After a double check to be sure she had everything she stepped into the walk-in shower where Tsunade was sitting on the edge of the bench, legs spread. She paused, her eyes focused on Tsunade's large, plump, hairless pussy lips, and licked hers on reflex.

"Mei.' Tsunade staid firmly, snapping Mei out of her lusty trance... she was almost flattered.

"Sorry, I'll try not to do it again." Mei said, kneeled and set out her supplies. "I normally don't share this because it's so expensive... but I have some canned shaving cream."

"Is that one of those special items in the packages from your friend you won't talk about?" Tsunade said, smiling.

"Yes... and I promised her I'd never reveal her name or location." Mei said and saw Tsunade nod. Mei foamed her hand then lathered Tsunade up, grabbed her newly sharpened straight razor and smiled. "Now don't move, I'd hate to accidentally cut off the end of that big clit. Speaking of..."

"I'm not aroused..." Tsunade interrupted. "But my chest isn't the only place I'm well endowed, and if I hear 1 more word... I'll bald you top and bottom... with my hands." Tsunade said strongly, Mei swallowed and nodded. "Now don't spoil the moment by making passes at me... I'll tell you when I'm ready."

"Sorry.. I'm the passionate type." Mei said then, pushed down her emotions like the Elite kunoichi she was, and wielding the razor like a blade master had Tsunade's pussy baby smooth in under 2 minutes, then used a water jutsu to wash her off and a fluffy towel to dry her off. "There you go, a clean slate." Mei said and smiled.

Tsunade sighed and rubbed her smooth mound. "Thank you Mei." Tsunade said sincerely, then left the bathroom to grab her pajamas.

"SO near... but so far away." Mei said to herself and sighed sadly a moment. "But I got to see her naked and shave her pussy... not as much as I wanted, but it'll do for a start."

===Aug 3, 8:17 AM, Hokage Tower===

Thanks for making them legal, signing them up for the next semester and for the announcement about Naruto. In the long run this is the best I can do for him, but the next few years will be hard. You won't like it, but you know how many people will react and what I or Mei will have to do." Tsunade said calmly.

The Third nodded sadly. "I do. I know trying to stop you will only cost me good shinobi... so please try to keep any damage to a minimum."

"I'll keep an eye on him if I'm in the village...I scare everyone." Anko said with a big smile.

"Actually Anko, that's part of why you're here." Tsunade said and saw the excitement and confusion on Anko's face. Her face still unreadable, Tsunade gave the Third a nod. "In fact, if you'll sign this you can help me keep an eye on your little brother."

The Third pushed a signed form across his desk to Anko.

Tsunade watched the shock slowly emerge on Anko's face.

"What?" Anko asked almost blankly, she couldn't believe what she'd just heard.

"I want to adopt you... so what do you say, want to be Anko Senju?" Tsunade asked.

"But I went this route with The Fourth... nobody wanted me because of... him, and I was much cuter, I'm 16 now... and my reputation isn't..." Anko said

"I heard about the snake whore rumor." Tsunade interrupted and saw Anko's face fall. "And I don't fucking care what people think. I still have my own sources around. You may have your faults and vices... but compared to mine... Anko, you aren't shit. Do you think there's anything you've done in your short life that I can't top?"

Anko looked down at the floor in shame. "No... you're right. I'm not use to anyone caring about me." Anko said apologetically, then raised her head. "If you can turn this crazy drunken bitch into a respected kunoichi... then I accept... mo..." Anko said, starting to smirk.

"Finish that word and you'll leave this room 6 minutes after your head does." Tsunade interrupted coldly.

Anko froze mid-word in fear, a rare feeling for her. "Sis?" Anko asked softly.

Tsunade stared menacingly at Anko a long moment, then smiled. "Lets start with Tsunade-chan and go from there."

Anko let out a breath she'd been holding and slumped. "You're a cold-blooded, sadistic bitch, you know that... we'll get along great." Anko said with a big cheesy grin.

"Deal." Tsunade said and held out her hand.

Anko shook it, then signed the form and handed it to Tsunade.

"Have everything registered and filed by lunch... now come on Anko, you have a new family to meet, rules to learn, and you need to get moved in." Tsunade said and glanced at Sarutobi.

"Dismissed... and congratulations Anko." Sarutobi said.

===Sept 5, 10:49 AM, Konoha Park, Secluded Field===

His 2 friends laid out, unconscious and bloody, his busty girlfriend's face up, spread eagle, shirt lifted up to expose her black and blue breasts, half her 2 foot ponytail hanging out of her exposed, balded pussy instead of from her head. He looked into the pupil less, brown eyes of the younger, purple-haired girl now pinning him to a tree with left hand around his throat, his whole body locked up in blinding pain when she grabbed his balls, but it felt like she was standing on them.

"I'll only say this once shit stain... if you, or any or your flunkies, ever so much as glare at Naruto, or I hear you disrespected any of my sisters..." Anko said and squeezed a little harder as she pulled up on his balls. "And I swear to Kami I'll do things to you that would make Orochimaru vomit in disgust. You know who he is right, I was his apprentice for 2 years and he taught me things you can't imagine in your worst nightmare. Understood?" Anko said in a cold tone.

When he nodded, Anko gave him a sadistic smile, then viciously twisted and yanked his balls as she squeezed a little harder, his eyes rolled back in his head and he passed out cold. Anko released him and stepped aside, he flopped face down in the grass, hard, not moving. She smiled happily and walked over to Naruto, Tayuya and Fuu. "You guys ok, they didn't hurt you too much did they?" Anko asked.

"No, I'm fine... I kept 'em from hurting them." Naruto said and smiled, the slight bruises from the punches already almost gone.

"That's my lil bro, more guts than brains. I'm proud of ya gaki... now come on, we better get home. I'll tell Tsunade what happened and take any punishment... and I'm sorry I was late, it'll never happen again." Anko said.

===Sept 6, 8:01 AM, Hokage's Office===

Sarutobi looked across his desk at Tsunade, and pushed the small pile of reports over to her. "That's the Hospital report and complaints I got last night. Anko put Team 5 and 2 members of Team 3 in the hospital yesterday, their Sensei's and especially their parents aren't happy and the parents want files charged against Anko."

"I know everything that happened, and it wasn't her fault... I'm surprised they're still alive, you know what she can do, especially considering that she's been Ibiki's apprentice since she made Special Jonin. I'm proud of her for protecting them and how much restraint she showed. All of them need a refresher course in discipline." Tsunade said proudly and smiled. "If they don't like it... they know where to find me."

Sarutobi shook his head as he sighed. "I'll handle this, but their Hospital bills and any compensation are coming from your account." He said then saw Tsunade shrug and nod. "Dismissed." After she left he laughed softly in amusement then sighed. "I'm getting too old for this shit."
