The Legend of Hope Chapter 9: finding Tsunade
Sasuke had come along with Jiraya and Naruto to find Tsunade. They were in-successful thus far, but in one of the towns, they ran into a bit of trouble. After they left the village, 2 guys from this Demon carrier hunting organization called Akastuki, had come for Naruto. Now, they met up with those two guys. And Sasuke was quick to attack, which was foolish, because the one he attacked, knocked him out. It was Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke's older brother.
"I was wondering when I'd see you again" Naruto said. Itachis' partner, Shark carrier Kisame, almost tried to attack, but was foiled by Itachi.
"I know. Sorry about Sasuke, but he isn't ready to know the truth yet" Itachi said. Naruto understood.
"I'm going to have to tell him eventually. Anyways. We're busy Itachi, so if you don't mind. Oh, and you can tell Akastuki that they'll never get Kyuubi. For I am going to be the one who will defeat Sin. Hopefully by then, You'll be out" Naruto said. Itachi nodded, and left, dragging Kisame with him.
They would find Tsunade in the next town. Sasuke was still out, due to the Mengekyou Sharingan. She was drunk, like usual.
So they began to talk, after Sasuke was healed. Tsunade, then mentioned that the Hokage title was crap, and turned down the offer, Naruto then growled. Tsunade's assistant, Shizune, tried to apologize for Tsunade's behavior.
"Being Hokage is not a load of Crap. What are you going to tell me next? That being a summoner is a load of crap. I don't think so. I worked hard to get to this point. I plan to kill Sin myself. Dad said he wants to step down, to help me. Tsunade, I know yo had two people die, as they wanted to be Hokage. Well, maybe they weren't meant to be Hokage" Naruto said, threatening her with a Rasengan. Tsunade was shocked.
"Rasengan. How amusing. To bad...never mind, you have mastered it. You know what Naruto. I'll think about it. Give me 1 week" Tsunade said. Naruto calmed down.
"You got 1 week" Naruto said.
Sasuke decided to head back to Konoha. Luckily, Gai was there to escort him. And Luckily for Sasuke, Gai had actually shut up. The week had passed by
They met in an open field, where they were to fight Orocimaru and Kabuto. It was a bloodied fight, with Kabuto telling that he can freely heal himself.
Naruto tried to help, but even for the young summoner, he couldn't do much. Tsunade and Jiraya managed to overpower the weakened Orochimaru, as he fled. Tsunade smirked. She had blood on her hands, and wasn't afraid.
"This fight. It was good. Haven't felt such a rush in a long time. That, and I'm no longer afraid of blood. Let's go back. I've decided to take the title of Hokage" Tsunade said.
It took 2 weeks to get back to Konoha. About 3 days after Sasuke managed to arrive. Tsunade was busy with healing Kakashi from an attack by Itachi, and managed to heal up Lee from his injuries. She was the official, 5th Hokage.
"Let's wait a while before we go on and continue your pilgrimage. About 4 months should do. Kakashi. If you don't mind, I'd like to train Cell 7 in your place" Arashi said. Kakashi nodded.
"Yeah. Good idea. You should. There is more you can teach them then what I ever could, Sensei" Kakashi said.
"Well this is still your squad. So don't be afraid to ask if you want to help them out" Arashi said. Kakashi nodded.
It was then, that a loud smack was heard, from Naruto smacking Jiraya, for peeping in he women's bath.
