Day 10: the end is only the beginning

There was the sound of knocking and the godaime hokage let out a sigh. She still had a lot of work to do and wasn't in the mood for anything. She quickly put away her sake. Putting a serious look on her face, she turned to the door. "Enter!"

The door opened and immediately a smile came upon her face. "Well, if it isn't Ichigo!"

The man sighed before making a bow "Good morning, hokage-sama…"

The woman smiled before putting her elbows on the desk. She leaned her chin on the palms of her hands. "So, I heard from several people that Sakura and Naruto have grown quite close these last couple of days."

The man walked towards the window with a frown on his face. Sighing, he pointed towards the park. "Just look outside…"

The hokage stood up and looked outside. A smile came upon her face when she saw the couple walking hand in hand. The suddenly the pink haired girl stopped to give her boyfriend a passionate kiss on the mouth. The old woman had seen enough and she walked back to the desk. She grinned before turning to the brown haired man. "That means I win!"

Ichigo walked towards the pigtailed woman and handed her his wallet. "Yuki's going to kill me for this. I should have never let you trick me into betting with you…"

The busty blonde just smiled, while putting the wallet in her desk. "Then you should have betted on them getting together."

The man sighed, before shaking his head. "I didn't want to believe it, but I just couldn't stop them. And I think that I helped them more than I tried to stop them. Well, at least those two are happy. I'm going to get killed by my wife. You know how she can be…"

Tsunade grinned before standing up. "I feel so sorry for you. But if you could leave me alone right now. I still have a lot of work to do."

"It's fine. It's the final day of Sakura's vacation, so she wants to do something with the family. I need to hurry home…" Ichigo stood up and bowed, before turning around and exiting the room. "I'll get you back, Tsunade-sama, mark my words!"

The door closed and Tsunade sighed before sitting down again. Grabbing her sake, she let out a victorious smile. She had won the bet! This was certainly her day!

She was about to take a sip of her sake when it suddenly hit her. She had never won a bet before! It just couldn't be right! Looking outside, she couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Sighing, she sat down again. She was just overreacting. The smile returned to her face and she continued drinking her precious sake.

Just at that moment a certain Uchiha was heading towards the gate of the village with his backpack. He looked up and saw four strange individuals before him. He gave them a bored look, before turning his attention to the ground again. "Orochimaru-sama is waiting for you. Come with us!"

The end
