"Seriously, just which part of 'NO' didn't you get!?" Tsunade's glare at her team-mate was enough to kill, as it was her twitching was a sign of an impending explosion of physical violence that WOULD result in property damage.

"Ma ma, Tsunade. No need to be so angry," Orochimaru's friendly smile was all the more creepy for its honesty and complete lack of mockery. There was also the fact that of the sannin in the bar, Tsunade would and could take the other two out in a taijutsu battle. "I just wanted to study your seal-work."

"Seriously, we could make a mint from it. Kunoichi and civilians would come flocking from the entire continent for the ability to look as young as you and with such..." Jiraiya's voice died at the glare from his female team-mate as he gestured with his hands on what he was about to say.

"While pervert-kun here thinks with his gonards," Orochimaru shook his head. "I am more interested in your jutsu from a research stand-point. I mean... if what I can see of your seal is true...."

"Look, just because I agreed to an annual meeting with you guys, doesn't mean I'm going to... just let the two of you poke at me," She sipped at her sake. "Besides, it's derived on our old work based on the Hyuuga effect and that so-called immortal bitch over in Wave country."

"Wait... you actually created that seal based on that old improvised regeneration seal we used for our jounin thesis?"

A shrug from Tsunade was the only reply to Jiraiya's question.

"Mmmmh... that would make some sense. But still, Tsunade-chan, you know you want to show off some of your seal work." Orochimaru's quirked eyebrow and smile got Tsunade to shake her head.

"Fine, but only if you two also do a show and tell for me..." The lecherous smirk on Tsunade's face was enough to get her companions to dry-swallow. They HAD, after all, found some of her pornographical novels in the past.


Author's notes -

An AU of what if the sannin were more friendly than expected... A ninja who disobeys orders is trash. Those who abandom their team-mates are lower than trash. What if the sannin only appeared to be against each other? hmmm? Aren't ninjas suppose to deceive people?

This is a result of me going thru old posts and finding this omake challenge, and it got me thinking...
