(This is my first Naruto fic, but I have been a fan for many years)
Tsunade, Naruto, and Sasuke arrive back at Usuigi's house and they enter. They notice a glass with some blood in it on a table next to a chair and Gaara sleeping on a couch.
"Tsunade. Nice to finally meet you." They all look over to see Usuigi sitting on a wooden chair looking at them.
"Nice to meet you 'Master'" Usuigi just smiled.
"I've heard you have quite a temper, just like your great uncle." Usuigi's smile slowly fades. " Now, Tsunade, why are you here?"
"Sir, we have a situation. It involves a pair of men named Orichimaru and Itachi Uchiha." Usuigi didn't look interested, just as Tsunade had said.
"So?" asked Usuigi, "Not my problem."
"Orichimaru is the one that killed the Third. Surely you must want to avenge him." Usuigi's face seemed to grow a bit softer. Tsunade suddenly knew how to get Usuigi on his side. "He summoned the souls of the other Hokages to do his dirty work. He nearly summoned your own son. This set Usuigi off.
"IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM!" Next thing anyone knew, Tsunade slapped Usuigi right across the face. Even Tsunade was shocked that she had just slapped a man who could easily kill her. Everyone noticed that Usuigi was looking at something. They noticed it was a row of pictures. From left to right the pictures showed the Fourth, his other son, the First and Second, the Third as a kid, and a REALLY old picture showed a woman. Sasuke walked up to Usuigi.
"Whose the woman in the old picture?" Suddenly they noticed tears forming in Usuigi's eyes.
"My wife. Long ago. Being eternal has some very bad consequences. I lost her about 70 years ago. She was born before Konoha existed. However, she cared for the students I had. She cooked for them and helped them train…" They saw him touch the picture of the First and Second. Usuigi's face suddenly hardened. "Orichimaru summoned the souls of the deceased, did he?"
"Yes," replied Tsunade. They saw a look on his face that could scare Itachi. He had a murderous look in his eye.
"I'll take care of them"
"OK,"
"ON ONE CONDITION!" This shout made everyone jump. They suddenly see him look over at Gaara. "You must do something for me."
"What's that?"
"You'll find out tomorrow." Naruto suddenly sees Usuigi's face soften and he gets a smile back on his face. He looks up to Tsunade. "So Tsunade, would you like to spar?" Tsunade shook her head and laughed.
"I wouldn't stand a chance. But Maybe you should get an example of Itachi by facing his younger brother." Usuigi looked over and saw Sasuke. They stared at each other a bit and Usuigi smiled.
"Alright, Uchiha. Let's head outside. You should do pretty good, with your Sharingan eye." Sasuke didn't hesitate and they both proceeded outside. Naruto began to follow and noticed that the mark over Gaara's seal seemed to be slowly dissolving, he decided he'd tell Usuigi about it in a little while
