Chapter 11: Reunion.
---Clearing---
The girl was briefing heavily…her next decision would decide whether she would be forced to leave her new home, which she has grown very fond of, or continue to live with the guilt of not being able to save the one person that she desperately cared about.
She was shaking hard…normally she would never let her emotions show when she was about to kill someone, even though she detested the idea of killing. This person prevented her from saving her special person, the man she considered a father; but at the same time he saved her from a young death, and through his cruel words…was responsible for her 'father' giving her the praising that she so desperately desired to hear from the man, even if they were merely words.
In the end she sighed and placed the kunai back into her pink kimono… 'Perhaps I have rusted…', she thought sadly.
She got up and looked in the direction of Konoha, and moment later she heard someone chuckle behind her, "I appreciate the concern Haku…but I really didn't need a haircut, so thanks for stopping…"
She turned and glared at him with tears in her eyes, "Just be quiet…", she snapped with ice in her words, "You just don't understand anything at all…"
Naruto, who had his eyes closed the whole time, finally opened them and glance at the girl, "Probably not…"
Haku just turned and started to walk away, "You don't know what it's like to lose a father…I've lost two…"
Naruto chuckled again, "I don't know what it's like to HAVE a father. My bastard…father…", Naruto spat the last word out like it was poisoned, "…sacrificed me to a bunch of ungrateful bastards when I was only a few hours old…and since then I've been hated for something that I have absolutely no control over…" By this time Haku had stopped walking away from the Kitsune…her eyes were wide…
She turned to him, "They hate you…for something that you can't control?"
Naruto nodded, groaning slightly due to the huge bruise on his head, where he head butted Gaara, which was slightly bleeding. "Yup…"
She sighed, "I know how that feels…"
Naruto didn't make any indication that he heard Haku…he just flashed her a smile, "Human's are such selfish creatures…"
Haku glared at him, "You talk as if you're not human…"
"Maybe I'm not…Humans are such pathetic creatures…I'd be happy if I weren't classified as one of them. Besides, they don't see me as human", he said gesturing towards the village, "Why should I consider myself one of them…"
Haku looked at him sadly… "Maybe we aren't so different after all…"
"Under different circumstances…I'd agree with you. But to be honest, even if we have somewhat similar pasts, you and me aren't that much alike; the only one who deserves that title would be Gaara", he muttered the last part to himself.
The two ninjas heard something ruslting in the trees. They turned to see Sakura and Sasuke jump through them.
Sakura rushed over to Naruto, "Are you two ok?"
Naruto flashed her his normal apathetic smile, "I'm fine…though I wasn't smacked around by sand…" he lied somewhat.
Sakura's eyebrow twitched as she resisted the urge to smack the temporarily injured Kitsune.
"Enough, I think the fighting has stopped…so lets go back…" He muttered as he walked over to Naruto and placed the fox jinchuriki on his back.
---Somewhere far away---
A horse drawn carriage was moving down the road. By the way the driver, carriage, and horses looked; one could assume that the people inside were of royalty. Walking beside the carriage were four ANBU.
Inside the carriage sat three people…One was an old man, dressed in royal blue robes. He had gray hair and a gray beard. The second was an old woman, dressed in a royal blue kimono. She also had long gray hair.
The last was a beautiful teenage girl. She had long, braided, blonde, hair. Her eyes were deep cerulean. She wore a flowered purple kimono. On her lap sat a Sansetsukon (Three piece staff). The pieces of it were a crimson red.
The old woman smiled, "Soon we'll be in Konaha…"
The teenager sneered inwardly, 'Soon…soon I will get more revenge…Naruto Uzumaki…"
---A week later---
Naruto was walking down the road, dressed in a black outfit, his whisker marks hidden by bandages.
This is one of the only times the villagers have seen him without his trademark apathetic smile, in years. His eyes were red and puffy, obviously from crying…
Just thinking back to the events of the day made him want to continue crying.
---Flashback, about an hour ago---
The Third's funeral…every ninja in the village was there to give their respect to the old man, except some ANBU who had guard duty and would pay their respects later.
Naruto was there. Sasuke and Kakashi were to his side, at his right respectively. Sakura and her parents were to the right of Kakashi. The rest of the Rookie nine, as well as Gai's team followed Sakura, along with their parents and their Jounin-senseis. To Naruto's left was Iruka, holding a bawling Konahamaru. The head's of all the clans were their, as well as Rei and Yoko, the former head of the Hayate clan.
Somebody…was giving a very moving speech about the Third, but Naruto never bothered to learn her name. All he knew of her was that she was another one of those asshole council members, and she was one of the Third's old teammates. Next to her stood Sarutobi's other teammate and Jiraiya.
Naruto sighed in depression. He couldn't find the strength to raise his smile at a time like this. He felt his eyes stinging, and kept expecting himself to start crying for the third Hokage.
"H-ey He-y HEY! Did you hear that? I think the effects of the Shodaime's jutsu are starting to wear off…Can you hear me?"
Naruto's eyes widened and the tears finally fell, "NOOOOOO…" he cried out as he close his eyes…tears falling like waterfalls…His legs buckled from under him and he fell to his knees…
He felt people approach him…He opened his eyes to see Sakura, Rei, Haku, Kakashi, Iruka, Konahamaru, and even Sasuke come up to him, all with worried faces, though you really couldn't tell with Kakashi.
Naruto looked pass them towards the Third's casket and started muttering, "Why couldn't it have been me…" over and over again…
Some of the older ninjas looked at him sadly for the first time, "The Third Hokage was the only one who truly did care about the boy...the child must be trully saddened by his death..." some ninjas muttered.
---End flashback---
"Geez…you would think that I complicate and ruin your life to the point where you don't even want me around…"
Naruto felt the tears sting his eyes again, 'I'm not even going to dignify that question with a respone…'
The fox shrugged in his cage, "So…anyway…I think the reason the Shodaime's Jutsu effected us so badly had to do with two reasons. First off, because you were the user of the technique…being a jinchuriki yourself and all. And Secondly, because you used it on another jinchuriki, the whole backlash thing and all…"
Naruto shrugged, not really caring that much…
Naruto walked back to his apartment, picking up his mail at the same time…
He opened his door walked in and started reading his shuffling through his mail, "Bills, hate mail, hate mail, blackmail, threat, hate mail, threat, threat, what!" Naruto paused as he found one letter, "very important, from the council…" Naruto tore it open and pulled out the contents, "We are please to announce that you have preformed excellently in the chunin exams…blah blah blah…spirit of leaf…passion of fire…blah blah…you are to be promoted to chunin…" Naruto smiled, not a fake smile…a real smile for the first time in a long time…
---Jiraiya---
Jiraiya was sitting on top of a building after the funeral. He quickly felt two chakra signatures appear behind him, "Forget it…"
Koharu and Homura sighed, but Koharu spoke up, "Please Jiraiya…think of the village…we need a strong hokage."
Jiraiya shrugged, "I may be strong…but I wouldn't make a good Hokage", he said but thought, 'Yea right…screw myself here, when I could be doing my research in less guarded areas…they must be out of their minds.'
Homura sighed, "Will you not reconsider? Even for the village?"
Jiraiya shrugged again, "I AM doing this for the village…like I said I wouldn't make a good Hokage…but…I think I know someone who would…"
Koharu and Homura leaned forward in anticipation…
---Naruto and Sakura---
Naruto woke up to someone banging on his door…He got up, grudgingly, and started to walk to the door. He opened it, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!"
Sakura's eyes widened, "I thought you were always smiling…"
Naruto's growled, "Far to early…come back in…" Naruto looked pass Sakura to the sun, to check the time, "…in about three hours…"
Sakura cocked her head to the side, "Ten o' clock? I thought Kakashi's training would help you wake up earlier than that…"
Naruto sighed and turned around muttering, "What training…" as he walked deep inside his apartment.
Sakura walked in after him; noting the trashed apartment, graffiti covered walls, but mostly the large packed bag. "Are you going on a trip?"
Naruto rolled his eyes, "Something like that…Why did you come bug me…"
Sakura sighed and grabbed something from her pocket, a rolled up newspaper, and handed it to Naruto.
Naruto read the front page, the top article, "Yondaime's long lost daughter is finally returning to Konaha…" He muttered/growled as his eyes changed to red-slitted ones. He quickly started ripping the paper apart.
Sakura sighed, "Wasn't done reading that…", she muttered. "It's weird; because I didn't even know he had a daughter, or any children at that…according to the article she was hiding under the alias of her mother's maiden name, her grandfather being the Lord of Fire country." She looked at him for a long time, "You know…she was supposedly born on October 10th, same day as the Kyuubi attack. To be honest with you, I've recently lost all respect for the Fourth…he sealed the demon fox in YOU, when he could've sealed it in his own daughter…it just doesn't seem fair…that he spared HIS child, but damned another." Sakura looked at Naruto again, a slightly playful expression in her eyes… "Just weird…"
Naruto sighed, "You're to smart for your own good Sakura…"
Sakura squealed, "I KNEW IT! After thinking about it…you really do look a lot like the fourth Hokage, a younger version him at least. You were born on October tenth as well…so you must be twins right…"
Naruto nodded.
Sakura squealed again, "So you are twins! This means that you will both meet for the first time in only a day or two…You two will have so much to talk about…"
Naruto shook his head, "Nope…"
Sakura snapped her neck in his direction, "No? But she's your sister…"
"Don't care…I'm leaving anyways…"
Sakura looked at him curiously, "What do you mean leaving?"
"Before he died…I got a contract with the third hokage stating that once I become a chunin…I may leave the village." Naruto tossed Sakura his letter, "Guess what…"
"You've been promoted…" she said with wide eyes… "But what about your sister…"
"The hell with her…I don't want to meet the my parents favored child…"
And at that Sakura understood it all, "Naruto…that's ridiculous…I'm sure that if your parents could have…they would have found a way to save you as well…but it just didn't work out that way. As for her…she didn't have a choice to be the one who was saved; if she did, I'm sure she would have taken your role as the container easily…
Naruto sighed… he hated to admit it but Sakura had a point.
"In the end…neither of you had a choice on anything that happened…"
Naruto sighed again.
"Don't weaken boy…don't go back to the light…"
'Shut up…'
Sakura sighed, "Why don't you stay another day or two? You can meet your sister…and if you still want to leave afterwards…then leave." Sakura muttered the last part sadly…after everything that's happened between them, she didn't really want Naruto to leave…
Naruto thought about what Sakura said…after a while he sighed and nodded, "Very well…I'll meet her…and then I'll leave…"
Sakura smiled.
---The next day---
The sun rose quickly into the morning sky. The carriage arrived through the gates of Konaha. The villagers started crowding around the carriage as it came to a halt, though the ANBU kept them at bay.
Many people came to give their respects, including some note worthy clan heads and council members. Off to the side somewhere, were two ninjas from team 7. Sakura and Naruto were both to the side, hiding in an alleyway.
Naruto sighed, "I can't stay here…if anyone sees me waiting for her…they'll assume the worse…"
Sakura sighed, "You don't actually think someone will try to kill you just for wanting to take a look at the 'only child of the fourth' do you?
Naruto laughed, "No…they'll probably just stick me with about eight or nine warning kunai to the back…poisoned tipped and with explosive tags."
Sakura sighed, "We'll come back later then…I wanted to go visit Sasuke-kun anyway…I think Ino-pig is trying to pull something…"
Naruto rolled his eyes as the two ninjas walked away, though they caught the eye of one ninja.
Kakashi glanced to the side just in time to see the retreating two ninja and sighed, "Why do I sense that this won't end well…"
Rin snapped her head towards Kakashi, "You say something?"
Kakashi just shook his head.
---Ichiraku---
Naruto sat alone in the ramen stand as he thought about his situation…
Ayame walked up to him, "Here's your ramen Naruto…why the long face?" she asked Ichiraku's favorite customer worriedly.
Naruto regained his composure and almost blinded Ayame with his smile. "I'm fine…"
---Hokage Tower---
The royal trio walked into the Hokages tower to be greeted by Jiraiya, Homura, and Koharu.
"It is a pleasure to see you all… Takeru-sama, Izumi-hime…Yukina-hime…" Koharu greeted, the last name indicating the teenager…"
Takeru, Izumi, and Yukina nodded towards the three ninjas. Homura and Koharu bowed respectfully.
Takeru laughed, "Good morning you two…you said that you wanted to give my granddaughter something the moment she arrived", he said as he place his hand on Yukina's shoulder.
Homura and Koharu both looked grim for a moment, "I'm afraid that we'll have to wait a little bit longer, we already have a meeting taking place between some ambassadors from other hidden villages. We hope this isn't to big of an inconvenience."
Takeru waved it off, "Oh well…we can use the time to look around the village."
Izumi sighed, "I'm afraid I'll have to decline Takeru-kun. I was hoping to catch up on some sleep, I could barely catch a wink of sleep since we left."
Koharu grabbed something from her pocket, "Here…" She handed Izumi a set of keys. "We didn't arrange for any hotels…one of the things we wanted to give Yukina was her father's old mansion…it's already been cleaned recently. Tomorrow we'll be sending a few people their to act as servants."
Izumi smiled.
Jiraiya took a look at Yukina, noting the fact that she had a monotone look on her face since she got in. "Why don't I show you around the village?"
Takeru grinned at Jiraiya. The aged fire lord being a big fan of Icha Icha Paradise. "We'd be delighted Jiraiya-san…" He said as the four started walking out the door.
Jiraiya looked out the door to see a mob of people waiting for them. He looked at a few ANBU. "You five…we need a diversion." Jiraiya ordered.
The ANBU nodded and three of them took the form of Takeru, Izumi, and Yukina. The five ANBU walked out the door. Jiraiya and five ANBU snuck the royal family out another exit.
---Somewhere in the village, a few hours later---
Jiraiya, Takeru, and Yukina were walking down the road. Izumi had gone to the Kazama estate to rest, as did two ANBU to keep an eye on her. Jiraiya's group was currently being followed by three more ANBU… Luckily most of the village was following the doppelgangers of the royals, so the streets were almost completely deserted.
Jiraiya and the ANBU, composed of the retired ANBU captain Kakashi, the ANBUs top medic nin Rin, and the new ANBU captain Yamato, all sensed a familiar chakra signature following them…and though they knew it was necessary…they didn't like it.
Naruto stood a few meters away and was currently following Jiraiya's group. Naruto sighed as he continued. It was by luck that he managed to find them, as they passed by the deserted Ichiraku ramen stand. After thinking it over for a while Naruto decided to make himself known to the group…He jumped off the building he was currently on and landed a few yards from the group.
Jiraiya, Rin, Kakashi, and Yamato all sensed him even before he decided to reveal himself. Takeru and Yukina were another story completely…they sensed him for the first time the second he landed, the former not having ninja training, though being a skill fighter none the less, and the latter not being as skilled as the other four.
Yukina turned to look at the ninja that had been following them. Her eyes widened when she saw his face, 'Whisker marks…' She growled as she reached behind her and grasped her three-piece staff and launched herself at Naruto, "NARUTO UZUMAKI!"
Naruto's eyes widened as she brought one piece of her Sansetsukon on Naruto's head, smashing in his skull.
---Uchiha Estate---
Sasuke was currently training, 'I got to get stronger…if I can't even match Naruto…how am I ever going to match Itachi…' Sasuke growled as fire danced around him.
Sakura and Ino were arguing to the side, about some nonsense…
Sasuke sighed inwardly, 'I keep changing the locks and those two still get inside…maybe I should get some guard dogs…'
Sasuke started concentrating all of his flames, compressing it all to a single spot…
---The twins---
Takeru gasped as Yukina's Sansetsukon made contact with Naruto's head… Jiraiya and the ANBU didn't appear distress at all; they always expected something like this to happen, though they expected the positions to be reverse.
Yukina grinned as she saw that her attack connected, but growled as 'Naruto' turned into a log…
Naruto appeared a few yards to her left, his head was down and his Hitai-ate had disappeared.
Yukina turned towards Naruto and glared at him, "Only prolonging the inevitable…I will destroy you for what you have done to me and this village…NINE-TAILED FOX!"
The older ninja cringed as she screamed that last part. Takeru sighed, "Yukina…you're wrong…you need to understand that Naruto…"
"ENOUGH! The fox nearly destroyed the village…father died sealing it inside of that shell", she said indicating Naruto's body, "…this…thing…must die for its crimes…."
Naruto didn't make any indication that he heard her…he just kept looking at the ground… "Tell me…what have I done to you…any of you…"
Yukina sneered, "BECAUSE OF YOU MY FATHER AND MOTHER ARE DEAD…DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD MY LIFE HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF YOU! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN ONLY CHILD GROWING UP WITHOUT A FATHER OR MOTHER!" She screamed with tears in her eyes…
The elder ninja cringed again and Takeru looked at her disappointingly…
Jiraiya sighed, 'Ok…letting these two work it out for themselves…was a HORRIBLE idea…maybe I should stop this…' The ANBU were thinking more or less the same thing.
Naruto however…only caught two words… 'only child' …It made him think back to his mother's last letter to him…
...I never thought that I'd be damning one of my own children to save another...
'So that's what she meant…she didn't mean that she was separating us…she meant that she was practically erasing the fact that we are even related…' thought the kitsune…"Hahahahahaha…" Naruto laughed…
Yukina sneered as she got into her fighting stance, holding the outer pieces of her staff with each hand. "You dare laugh at me…", she growled…
Naruto, for the first time since he did Kawarimi, looked to face Yukina…his eyes were red and slitted. His whisker-marks became larger. He was smiling…not a happy smile…not an apathetic smile…but a malicious smile…the same smile Gaara had when he was fighting Rock Lee…
Kyuubi was actually terrified by this point as he felt his chakra start to leave her, 'He's taking chakra from me…he shouldn't be able to do that without my consent…' Kyuubi thought to himself…Kyuubi started laughing nervously as he moved to the deepest part of Naruto's mind…
Naruto continued to laugh, "Are you going to come after me little girl? Don't you want to avenge your pathetic mom and dad", he laughed partially lying.
Yukina sneered as she launched herself at Naruto, attempting to smash his head in again… Naruto placed his hand into the air, grasping the weapon quickly. The impact hurt Naruto's hand, though Kyuubi's chakra quickly numbed the pain.
Yukina quickly kicked Naruto in the chest, sending him sprawling backwards.
She quickly tried to smash Naruto again, but in her rage missed Naruto's hand seals. A demonic plant exploded from the ground and caught Yukina's staff in its maw, raising it high into the air, ripping it out of her hands. Naruto quickly launched himself at the girl and kicked her in the naval, knocking the wind out of her. He attempted to hit her again, but she quickly jumped back and started doing hand seals. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" she screamed as she blew a giant fireball at Naruto. The Fireball engulfed Naruto, though he switched himself with a log again, using Kawarimi. The flames however consumed the demonic plant quickly.
The plant dropped Yukina's staff, as the plant easily burnt to dust…
Yukina saw no sign of Naruto, so she quickly ran over to grab her staff…but something stopped her… "Mokuton Hijutsu: Shokubutsu Funkei no jutsu (Wood Release Secret Technique: Plant Decapitation Technique)!"
Five small demonic plants burst from the ground, grabbed her legs by biting them, and dragged her into a ground. She growled as this happened.
She was buried up to her neck.
Naruto appeared in front of her, holding his demonic plant sword. He pointed it at her neck.
She was about to yell at him, but stopped. He wasn't smiling any more…his face was twisted into a look of utter anger and hatred…The killer intent radiating from him was almost enough to stop her heart…it froze her…
Naruto stood there for a moment before raising his sword to finish the girl off…as he lowered the sword the older ninja went into action.
Kakashi and Yamato both slammed into Naruto, holding him to the wall of a nearby building, face first, each holding one of his arms…
Rin and Takeru quickly dug Yukina out of her whole, but she quickly pushed the two aside.
Naruto was growling, "Let go of me…damn…YOU LET ME GO!"
Kakashi sighed, "Naruto…calm yourself…"
"KEEP HOLDING HIM!" screamed the girl.
The three elder ninjas turned to see Yukina holding something…
Kakashi's visible eye widened, "Rasengan…"
She launched herself at Naruto, ready to slam the spinning ball of chakra into him.
Kakashi and Yamato didn't budge, though they were ready to interfere if Yukina got to close…
They didn't have to…
Jiraiya appeared in front of Yukina, grabbed her arm, and smashed her hand against the wall, a few feet to the right of Kakashi, who was to the right of Naruto and Yamato. The Rasengan exploded and took out a big chunk of the wall. Yukina glared at Jiraiya, "SENSEI! What are you doing! We need to destroy the demon…"
Jiraiya growled at the girl… "If I had known that you would misuse that technique…I would never have taught it to you…" He said as he brushed pass the shocked girl… "Let him go…"
Kakashi and Yamato reluctantly let the boy go. Naruto launched himself at Yukina again, but was grabbed by Jiraiya, who disappeared doing Shunshin no Jutsu.
Kakashi sighed, 'At least Naruto didn't go all out…if he would've tapped deeper into the demonic chakra…everyone might have sensed it…' he sighed as he looked into the air, 'She may have attacked first...but SHE is the daughter of the FOURTH...while Naruto is merely the Fourth's tool for containing the demon...what a mess you've made your family into sensei...'
---In a clearing---
Naruto and Jiraiya appeared inside of a clearing…
Naruto, still partially feral, tried to punch Jiraiya. Jiraiya quickly caught his fist though…
Naruto quickly started launching a flurry of attacks on Jiraiya…
---A few hours later---
Yukina, Takeru, and Izumi were both sitting in the Hokage's office…the latter two had a disappointed look on their face.
Koharu and Homura were in front of them as they held out an envelope for them…
Koharu growled, "I'm sorry that, that rift raft was allowed so close to you…"
Yukina growled.
Takeru glared at her, "I do not see why he is so disrespected…according to Kizuna, my daughter, he has the Kyuubi sealed in him…"
Homura shook his head, "That child has been nothing but trouble ever since he was born…"
Takeru sighed, "But what has he done…Kyuubi destroyed the village…but what has Naruto done…"
Koharu growled again, "Just the fact that he's among us is an insult to the village…"
Takeru sighed, knowing that he wouldn't get a direct answer from these two… He thought back to his last conversation with his daughter…
She informed him of Arashi's fate…of the boy Naruto Uzumaki…she begged him to raise her daughter…and told him the fate of her son. He knew that Kizuna was pregnant with twins…but because of the Kyuubi…one died… He didn't have the heart to inform Yukina of this though. In the end…he had hope that she would get over her hatred for the boy…but it may be harder than he thought…
Koharu handed her an envelope. "This is the farewell letter from your father…"
Yukina opened it and pulled out a piece of paper…
Dear Yukina,
Hello my daughter. If you haven't guessed yet...your old man is the Hokage...The fourth to be exact...Because of this I expect you to become much stronger than I was...and you BETTER BECOME STRONGER.
Anyway...I just want to say I'm sorry...for everything that I'm most likely missing out on...birthdays...graduations...the first time you held a kunai.
I hope you aren't being spoiled to badly…I hope the same applies to your brother.
He better be looking out for you…he has unimaginable power inside of him…since I sealed the Kyuubi inside of him-
Yukina's eyes widened.
-Anways…I hope you two are fairing well. I wish I could write more…but I can hear the Kyuubi coming…heh make sure to learn Kage Bunshin…really cuts down on time…
Remember that I love you so much
Your father, Arashi Kazama.
P.S. Don't let your brother become a pervert…
Yukina's eyes were at there widest as tears fell from them…her knees buckled as she fell down…
The other four quickly ran to her…
---Jiraiya and Naruto---
Naruto panted as he lay on the ground…exhausted…
He was definitely wrong about the pervert…
Jiraiya proved to be quite strong…
"So ready to quit brat?"
Naruto didn't reply…
"Good…so pack your bags…I've got a little mission I need to do and you're coming with me…"
Naruto got up, "No…I'm leaving this hell hole for good…"
Jiraiya sighed, "You can't do that Naruto…"
Naruto grinned, "Actually I can…"
Jiraiya smirked, "Actually…you can't…I know all about your deal with Sarutobi…problem is that he didn't think of one problem with your deal. You aren't actually a chunin until the HOKAGE hands you your vest…"
Naruto's eyes widened…
"So…you and me are going to go find a Hokage…"
Naruto clenched his fist… "This retched village…"
Jiraiya sighed as he walked over to Naruto and placed a hand on his shoulder, "It's one of the reasons I'm asking you to come along…we can spend a few weeks outside of the village, and hopefully by the time we get back…you'll only have to spend a few more days here…"
Naruto unclenched his fist… "Fine…lets go…"
Jiraiya nodded, 'Sad thing is…convincing Tsunade to come back may be even harder…'
---A village far far away---
A blonde woman sighed as she lost another hand of blackjack… "I'm sorry Tsunade-hime…"
Tsunade got up and walked away… Her assistant, a black haired woman, holding a pig, walked behind her… "I guess it isn't your day Tsunade-sama…ummm have you ever tried playing poker? I've never seen you play that…"
Tsunade's eyes widened…
---Flashback---
Three teenagers were sitting on the floor of an apartment building…
One boy had long black hair and was very pale…
Another boy had long spiky white hair and two markings on his cheeks…
The last was a girl, with blonde hair…
They were all holding poker cards.
The two boys were laughing at the girl…The boys were fully dressed in kimonos…and the girl…
She was shivering…clad in only a pair of thin black lingerie.
The boy with black haired chuckled… "You lose again Tsunade-hime…that means I get your bra…"
The boy with white haired stared laughing pervetedly, "Nice Orochimaru…"
---End Flashback---
Tsunade's eyes were still wide before she said, "I don't…do…poker…Shizune…" as she walked away…
Shizune looked at her oddly before walking after her…
A/N: Hope you enjoyed.
1) The thing was that Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade poker scene. Yea i don't own that...
2) About Yukina's weapon...the idea for that came from the fact that i've never read a fic were a Naruto character was given a pair of Nunchaku...so i was originally going to do something with those...But then I played a game called "Suikoden 5". The main character their had a sweet Sansetsukon, which would convert into a regular staff. So i decided to do that instead. It later reinforced my idea when i saw the movie "Jet Li's Fearless"...weapon rocks... Anyway...now i'm rambling.
So...if you liked it please review...if you hated it please review...if you have a brain please review...
