A/N: There were a lot of people I wanted to mention in this chapter, because they inspired me with their knowledge of Naruto, their kind words, or just plain thinking. I'll list them in the order they reviewed the 5th Chapter of this story.

Raw666: You are an awesome dude for your insight to my plan with Sasuke. You were the first and only person to see it and for that I congratulate you! Yes, Sasuke will not be bashed in this story. If you want Sasuke arrogance and bashing then read Naruto the Ninja Warlord, cuz he's gonna get his ass handed to him in that one.

Morriganna: I thank you for pointing out what you did, but I wasn't trying to be lazy when I used slang, since I have found that most people use casual dialogue when speaking to people they know well. That was my attempt, failed as it may be, to enact that sense of casualty around Naruto and some others, since they are very casual with just about anyone. Although you caught me on the numbers, I was being rather lazy and I didn't realize it affected the quality of my stories. I'll try to remedy that in the future.

That Guy (Using this because you did not leave a Name): Naruto's training with Kyuubi will be explained later, but I'll do it now for those who actually read this.

My own sensei, Genkai, explained how I could use that method to speed up my own training under her. (I'm a Kung-Fu master) Honestly, I was pissed that I could have done that the entire time without having to go through any real training. Needless to say she beat the crap out of me a told me that it would have been a one-time deal, and that with that kind of training I could only practice control and not the psychical power of my energy.

So in short, Naruto could only do chakra control and the few jutsu Kyuubi taught him because anything else would not have worked in his mind. Sort of like meditation but without the annoying fact that you have to actually concentrate.

BIGDZ: I understand what you mean, but Sasuke is not all of a sudden gonna be Mr. Rainbows and Sunshine out the ass, that's Naruto's thing. LOL! Anyways, just think of it like this; Sasuke is the semi-good Danzo to Naruto's Hiruzen (That's the Third Hokage if you guys didn't know).

JrfSteel: … WoW… I can honestly say that when I first read your review that was the only thing I and my friends could say. No, this isn't Fem-Sasuke. This is brotherly Naruto and Sasuke.

Wyrtha: You are right, it is his own fault, but I think this should be one of those oh so rare stories I do with a good Sasuke.

JNottle: I probably forgot to say this in the PM I sent you, but this is a cannon fact I just discovered when doing the chapter. Did you know that that 'Key' to Naruto's seal is on a toad, and that Minato wrote that sealing key when he and Kushina were attacked by Kyuubi. Minato and Kushina were some badass people. Seriously, he wrote a long and complex seal while she babbled to their son lovingly; all while having been impaled by a big ass Kyuubi claw. If you didn't know this, and this is for everyone, read the manga. It should be Chapters 503 and 504. So, since Minato had a plan and everything I was like, "If their asses can do all that, then what's stopping them from getting scrolls to Naruto or having prepared them long ago in advance." Minato probably wasn't sure about it at first when Kushina was close to having Naruto, but I'm sure that when she wasn't looking, he prepared everything Naruto would need to kick Madara's ass.

LightningBlade49: I can tell this is my most liked story, but I believe it is because this one plays to far greater fans rather than Boondocks or South Park has. Also, Naruto and the Tsuchikage will meet before the Kage Summit. True me, it'll be funny and wild.

Nonnynonny: I see your points about character conflict, but I'll explain it like this:

Naruto already knew Sakura wouldn't love him the way she loves Sasuke, so he decided to stop chasing 'the car that never slows down'. He picked Hinata first because… well I'll tell you all that in the story, because it's a funny scene I and my friends came up with.

As for Danzo, you have to understand how to read in between the lines. The reason Danzo joined him was because Naruto had a similar ideology to his own. And before that he knew that if anything happened to Naruto, like an assassination he'd be the first to blame, and they'd be right. After Naruto revealed that he accidently knew about ROOT Danzo could tell all his plans would be for not because Naruto had discovered that it was still functioning and called Danzo on it. Once all that happened Danzo decided that since Naruto was still so young he could take Naruto under his wing and make Naruto a better Hokage, so the people would love him for having trained the best Hokage ever.

With Itachi you must do the same thing; read between the lines. Itachi was already completely worn out after his fight with Kakashi, and Hiashi shut off his chakra. Both he and Kisame were sent to Ibiki with Inochi Yamanaka in there as well (I kind of forgot to write that part, but I had meant to; so, sorry guys). Once Inochi got the information from Itachi, the Uchiha stood on trial in front of Naruto and the others, where he revealed the truth, since it was a council of people he trusted within Konoha, even with Danzo present. Itachi then resolved to protect his little brother more, instead of going through with that plan from the cannon. So, he decided that he'd be a spy for Naruto, as long as he'd get to explain what really happened himself (another part I forgot to put in Chapter 5).

Rixxell Stryfe: I'm not sure to have Sasuke snap at that point or when Itachi tells him of the Uchiha Massacre.

Jutsu Judge: No worries, okay. I do have a plan for that and I don't think Jiraiya knows about her jutsu much.

Draganviper: This is a point that has been brought up many a times now, and I see that now I am forced to address it. Yes the story is moving fast. I understand I've put a month of things into that of a couple weeks but I have a reason for that. I don't like the Tsunade Arc. I hate the way everyone things Orochimaru is, and I dislike Tsunade's attitude toward Naruto even after they go back to the village. She kind of treats him like Sakura did in the beginning.

Also, I planned for Naruto to have some form of power, but what I came up with was so similar to Bleach and Code Geass to the point I said, "I'll just say them and be done with it."

Natsu: I… I can't even begin to tell you how much it meant to me that you took the time out to write that, so instead of saying anymore, I'll just say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Chapter 6: Tavern Hazard

"So, she's in there?" Naruto asked as they had came out into town at night and walked to the 'best' tavern in town.

Jiraiya nodded as he walked in, but soon saw that Naruto wasn't following. He came back out and found Naruto just standing there squinting his eyes at the bright flashing sign as if having a staring contest with it.

"Uhh, kid, are you coming in or what?" Jiraiya asked as Naruto turned a look to him while still in 'Sealed Form'.

"More like Runt Form to me." Jiraiya mused in his mind as Naruto was giving him the look.

"I'm under-aged! I can't go in there!" Naruto exclaimed as Jiraiya sighed at the loudness of the boy's voice.

"Look you're a ninja so; old enough to kill means you're old enough to drink, have sex, and gamble. Right?" Jiraiya said with charisma as he wrapped an arm around Naruto's shoulders so Naruto wouldn't try to turn back as he pulled the boy into the bar.

Naruto grumbled under his breath, like a child, but allowed himself to be brought in all the same. He was curious to why people would even go to taverns, but he'd never voice his curiosity. He and Jiraiya looked around for Tsunade and found her immediately.

"There she is, but we're not gonna go over there just yet. We'll do so after about ten minutes, that way she can get even drunker and we have a better chance." Jiraiya said as Naruto looked at him with a raised brow.

"Okay…" Naruto said slowly as they got a table near Tsunade and Shizune so they could listen in on them.

"Lady Tsunade…" Shizune said quietly after about 10 more minutes of watching her master drink herself under. It was then Jiraiya sent Naruto a look as he turned around to face Tsunade and Shizune.

"Tsunade!" Jiraiya exclaimed as Shizune jumped a bit and Tsunade looked over at him.

"Jiraiya!" Tsunade said with a drunken hiccup as she squinted to see him properly from her blurring vision.

"Finally we've been looking for you all over the place." Jiraiya said in an exasperated voice that Naruto knew wasn't faked much.

They had been looking through ever tavern until that one where he and Jiraiya had sensed her. They grabbed their plates and moved into the empty side of the booth while Tsunade was too drunk to argue. Naruto could feel her subtly using her chakra to burn away the liquor in her body. He was sure Jiraiya could sense it to because the Toad man's eyes narrowed when she had started to. That meant the plan was out the window then.

"So what are you here for, Jiraiya? I'm sure Orochimaru would be delighted to have a reunion since he's here too." Tsunade said as she stopped her Prohibition Jutsu. She knew if she used anymore chakra then she was sure even Jiraiya would sense it. So, she wasn't able to burn away anymore than half the alcohol in her body, but even still that was more than enough to keep her happily drunk.

"I figured as much… Listen Tsunade, we need you to come back to the Konoha in order to heal a few people from mental trauma placed on them by a genjutsu. So, what do you say?" Jiraiya asked with a cheesy smile as he and Tsunade began playing cards like they usually did when they came across each other.

"Humph, I decline." Tsunade said curtly as Jiraiya sighed. Well, at least they weren't trying to make her into Hokage. Now that would have been an ordeal…

"Look Tsunade, it's Kaka-" Jiraiya started, but Tsunade interrupted when she cut her eyes to Naruto who was staring at her intently. Shizune narrowed her eyes at him. He was hiding his power well, but she and her lady could sense it.

"Who's the brat you got with you?" Tsunade asked as Naruto grew annoyed with the woman already.

"Hey, who do you think you're talking about? You ancient old prune!" Naruto snapped back to her, standing up just as Jiraiya grew a smirk and sat him back down.

"This is… Naruto… Uzumaki…" Jiraiya said as he deliberately spaced the name out for dramatic effect.

It worked as Tsunade and Shizune's eyes widened as they gazed at Naruto who wore an annoyed expression. Shizune was shocked because of the Kyuubi, but Tsunade was shocked on a full other level as she knew just about all the boy's family, mainly because it was intertwined with her own on both sides of her family.

"So this is the famous brat I've heard so much about in the last week. So you took down a prodigy of the Hyuga, huh? Well it seems those tales were exaggerated. This apprentice isn't at all like your last one, Jiraiya. Just look at him: he's a fool, with a big mouth, and he's funny looking to." Tsunade said as she smirked when she saw him get annoyed even more by her.

"Oh, yeah?" Naruto snapped back at her as he finished his food. Getting angry wouldn't help their situation. They needed her to come back to the village.

"Well I'll have to disagree with you there, Tsunade. He's already got the makings of Hokage. He only needs more training and that can be done before we get back to the village." Jiraiya said as Tsunade eyed Naruto even more after that clearly cryptic statement. What… were they there to make her Hokage before this brat because he wasn't strong enough?

"So you want him to be a fool like the others, huh? Risking his life to protect the village? That's so foolish; just like Sarutobi-sensei. He should have known better. What did he expect, trying to be a hero at his age?" Tsunade said as Jiraiya frown at her with a stone face and Naruto clenched his fists under the table. He needed to keep his cool. Think calming thoughts.

"Hmm… a fool… so foolish… those sound like great lines to use in battle or life…" Naruto thought as he calmed down a bit.

"Playing at Hokage… count me out it's a fool's game…" Tsunade said nonchalantly as the other two adults watched her closely.

That was when all his calm and cool got its ass kicked out the window when he flew up to stand at the top of the table. "Calm and cool my ass! She just insult my idols, my family, and me; all at once!" Naruto thought as he rushed her, but Jiraiya calmly reached out and grabbed Naruto before he got to her. Though she'd never admit it, Tsunade was actually a bit afraid of what he might have done had Jiraiya not. The boy was leaking only a bit of Killer Intent, but it was concentrated, pure, and full of anger. What would happen had he mixed hate and made it stronger? She was a bit unnerved to find out.

"Let go of me!" Naruto said as he tried to wiggle free of Jiraiya's grip.

"Stop… calm down… people are looking… you're making a scene…" Jiraiya said as if rehearsed while he rolled his eyes. He was more worried about his cards than the fact Naruto was causing a scene. Naruto could probably fight Tsunade, but that was going to be a short fight once she decked the brat once.

"Let me go! I'm not gonna just sit here while she makes a joke out of the Old Man and the others! No way! I don't care if she is a lady! I'll wipe that cynical sneer off her fake face!" Naruto said as Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him. She could practically feel the chakra building inside of him. Tsunade hopped out of her seat and got eye level with Naruto as they glared at each other.

"Are you challenging me, brat? You've got balls if nothing else. Let's take this outside then." Tsunade said as Shizune groaned and protested against it. Naruto only growled at her. She was going down… hard!

"Tsunade, you may want to rethink that. He's not your average brat. He's the-" Jiraiya started but was cut off again by Tsunade. She never listened to any of his good advice…

"Quiet Jiraiya! I'll show this brat why I'm one of the Sannin!" She said as she and Naruto walked outside. Jiraiya only sighed as he followed after her with Shizune and Tonton close behind.

"Me, one of the legendary Sannin, taking on a lowly snot-nosed Genin? I should be ashamed of myself…" Tsunade said as Naruto looked confused for a bit and then remembered what form he was in. He smirked at her and Jiraiya knew there'd be trouble from that smirk.

"Who you calling lowly?" Naruto said as he flexed his hands while Tsunade raised her right index finger.

"See this; it's all I'll need to deal with you." Tsunade said smugly as Jiraiya sighed again.

"Oh stop trying to show off… Look Tsunade, maybe you'd want to take this seriously. He's the-" Jiraiya was saying, only to be cut off with an irate look from Tsunade.

"Be quiet you perverted toad! It's all I'll need to take this brat down for a nap! Don't make me punch you again like last time!" Tsunade yelled out as Jiraiya flinched and did a mock surrender.

Jiraiya eyes flinched to Naruto as he saw the boy about to go through hand signs in a flash. Jiraiya had spent quite some time with Naruto now, so he knew Naruto's tell for when the boy was going to go through Ninjutsu. Naruto would flex his hands so they were loose and then he'd drop his arms to his sides so he could think about just what Jutsu he wanted to use.

"Fine, fine, but don't say I didn't try to warn you… Naruto, go wild, but only with the basics. I don't have the cash on me to pay for a ruined street or town. So try out something we haven't practiced as of late." Jiraiya said lazily as Naruto grinned widely after hearing that. Shizune was worried by that grin, and Jiraiya's apparent confidence in the kid.

"What kind of basics could make them so confident?" Shizune questioned in her mind as she gazed at Naruto and Jiraiya. It was almost as if Jiraiya was… confident in the boy? But, Naruto was his name, was going against Tsunade, Jiraiya's own old teammate, so why was Jiraiya so… laid back about it?

"So what's the bet, Granny?" Naruto said with mirth as he knew she was a betting lady. Tsunade quickly grew more annoyed with the brat.

"First of all; don't call me Granny! Secondly, the bet is that I can take you down with just this finger. If by some miracle you win I'll give you my necklace." Tsunade said with a smirk on her face as she knew she couldn't lose to some wet-behind-the-ear Genin. Shizune's eyes widened upon hearing that, but she was forced to shut up as Tsunade gave her a hard glare. Jiraiya sighed as he wasn't in a position to tell Tsunade's life story, mainly because he hadn't seen his old teammate in years. He'd just stand to the side and see what happens, and then he'd decide.

"Fine by me; shall we begin?" Naruto said with a smirk as he stood straight up while Tsunade settled into a stance.

Naruto raised his left hand to the sky as a single cherry blossom petal fell to it. The petal glowed as it transformed into a katana that was Senbonzakura. He unsheathed it and threw the sheath to the side where it turned to cherry blossom petal that blew away in the wind. He held the blade at a diagonal to his face as Tsunade shifted in her stance.

"A sword… This brat doesn't look like the type, but he seems to hold it with a bit of grace and power… not to a Kenjutsu master's extent, but still with some practiced ease. Probably only a month or two of training with it… So Jiraiya's got other skills to pass on, huh" Tsunade thought as she took a stance. Maybe that one finger thing wasn't such a good idea now… Na! She could still whip this brat into submission!

Naruto sped toward Tsunade, with the Slug Princess's eyes widening at the incredible speed. The boy was obviously using chakra, but still that speed for a genin was impressive. He already had his sword in mid-swing too! Shizune was screaming for Tsunade to move, Jiraiya was telling Naruto not to strike her down, and the pig was squealing out in horror at seeing her owner about to die. She ducked and dodged many of his swings, but then started striking out herself, trying to flick him or tap him. She finally ducked under a swing, and flicked him on his forehead, sending him sailing through the air with his headband dissipating. Naruto back flipped to ready himself as his feet hit the ground. He continued to back flip until he was back at his original starting point.

He clutched his forehead and realized that she had used chakra in her strength, but not only that. She had used medical ninjutsu to try and disturb his brainwave flow so he couldn't do his techniques or movements properly. "So, she is some kind of legendary medic. To have done all that in one tiny flick! I haven't even got to disrupting movement function yet! But thank Kami-sama I did skip to dispelling it." Naruto thought as he smirked while placing a hand over his forehead, using medical ninjutsu basics to get his brain back to normal. He couldn't do it all the way but he could at least move easier.

An idea hit him as he saw the moonlight reflect off his katana.

Tsunade watched him closely with narrowed eyes. "What the hell is that brat still doing conscious? A genin like him should have been out for the count after I disrupted his brain functions with lightning chakra! I wonder… is it the fox's doing?" Tsunade thought as she watched Naruto ready himself for Round Two.

"That was fun, but let's try this. I've been wanna test out my swords abilities for a little while now. You see, it has a mind of its own, and it wants to take… you… down." Naruto said with a grin as he held the katana in front of his face in a vertical parallel to himself.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura" Naruto said in perfect monotone as his sword began to separates into a thousand slender, tiny petals, which then flew away from the hilt, leaving only the sword's handle in Naruto's hand.

Tsunade watched as the petals flew around her or dropped from the sky, glowing in the moonlight like a beautiful romance scene. Jiraiya had taken out his notebook and was hastily writing the scene down to use in his next novel. Tsunade was about to laugh out loud at the stupidity of the technique, but then a petal grazed her cheek. She brushed it off, but looked down at her hand in shock and horror as she used her other hand to hold her cheek. She saw one think in her hand as she dropped to her knees and began to hyperventilate.

"Blood…" Tsunade whispered out as she shook violently while Shizune rushed to her side.

"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune said as the petals flew toward Naruto and transformed back into his sword before bursting into petals and disappearing all together.

"It seems this battle was a waste… and I really wanted to get some true experience in with this fight. I guess the good I've heard about you… was nothing more than simple words." Naruto said disapprovingly as he walked away, toward the inn he and Jiraiya were staying in. He really wanted to test himself against one of the Sannin too…

Jiraiya sighed as he glanced at Tsunade's shaking form being cared to by Shizune, before sighing and following after Naruto.

"Just great… Knowing Tsunade, she'll probably take this out of control and challenge the kid without having to fight him again… And that's exactly how we'll get her! Heh, heh Jiraiya you madman, you!" Jiraiya thought to himself, but grinned as a plan formulated in his devious mind.

"Hey Naruto, I'm gonna stay out late tonight, so be sure to read those scrolls before going to bed and practice!" Jiraiya yelled out as Naruto waved back his hand to show he heard. Jiraiya grinned even more as he headed to the bar he just knew Tsunade would be at later. What better way to get over your loss to a brat like Naruto than to drink yourself under the table!

Later, With Naruto:

He and his clones had finally finished reading and memorizing the scrolls of the First and Second Hokages. Now all that was left was to read the Advanced Sealing Scrolls Jiraiya had personal written.

There was a knock at his door and when he opened the door there stood Shizune with textbooks and scrolls in her hands as she gazed at him, nervous as always.

"Hey, Shizune, what're you doing here?" Naruto asked as he already had a pretty good idea. He allowed her in and she settled in at the desk he wasn't using.

"Well, Jiraiya-sama went out drinking with Tsunade-sama, so I thought I'd keep you company." Shizune said as she opened her medical textbook. Naruto raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.

"You're studying too?" Naruto asked as he went back to his spot, where his clones had dispelled right before he went to answer the door, and began reading the sealing scroll again. Shizune nodded as she looked at him with a genuine smile.

"Yeah, even when you're in higher ranks it never hurts to know more. There are some things about the human body that I have yet to learn, especially in regards with how to heal it. Tsunade-sama has taught me all she can, but I still want to go farther than that." Shizune said in confidence as Naruto smiled back at her and set aside his sealing scroll.

"Well, let's help each other out a bit. You help me with Medical Ninjutsu and maybe I can help you find new healing techniques, because I've been thinking of creating other techniques that aren't like any Jutsu in the world…" Naruto said to Shizune, but the last part to himself as he was still thinking on it. Shizune smiled and nodded happily at the fact she now had her own, informal, student to pass her knowledge on to. She could just die of excitement at the thought of being called Shizune-sensei!

"Alright, but that could take years, and I'm not sure you're ready for that kind of commitment." Shizune said, but her jaw dropped as 20 more Naruto filled the room with smirks on their faces as the original had his hands in a cross seal.

"I think I'm more than ready. Don't you?" Naruto, the real one, said with the biggest smirk of them all. Shizune blushed a bit, but then got an evil gleam in her eye as she looked at all the Naruto.

"Well, that just means no going easy then. If you can do what I think you can then you'll master the bare basics before midnight! I can't wait; we'll be at Tsunade-sama's level before no time! Just how many can you create at a time anyway?" Shizune said in excitement, but then asked with a grin on her face that made their spines chill.

"About 200 at one time… Why?" Naruto said a bit nervously as Shizune's grin grew.

"Because, that's just… perfect." Shizune said in a sweet, yet cold voice. She cackled evilly as she began his tort-… she meant training.

Naruto was starting to feel like he may not have made the best decision, and with Kyuubi-sensei snickering in his mind, he knew he'd be in a world of pain.

I hope you all enjoy this, becuase I worked hard to create it. You know the drill, so leave a REVIWE and let me know what you think.

Until Next Time, See Ya!
