Book One: Tsunade's Chance- Not This Time Hiruzen Sensei!
I threw the stupid thing against the wall. Bye, bye pesky piece of crap!
Stupid alarm clock!
I literally rolled out of bed, and hit the floor hard. For a few minutes, I simply lay there, then remembered.
It's my first day as a shinobi! Again! I mean- Ohhhhh just forget it! But don't forget to eat breakfast! Now that I remember. I smirked. Not this time Hiruzen Sensei! I know this trick!
I just grabbed my lunch and an orange as I raced out the door. I barely saw the look on my parents' and grandparents' faces as I ran out the door, but it was funny!
I raced to the Memorial Stone, after I ate my orange that is and threw the rind into a dumpster that is. When I got there Orochimaru was already there just staring at the Memorial Stone. His parents' names were on there, I knew this. I walked up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder. He shrugged my hand off.
I walked over to the Third Training Ground (that's what it's called, look on Naruto wiki if you don't believe me). As I stared at the post Jiraiya would be tied to a thought struck me. Do I still have my abilities or do I have to start over? When will you stop asking questions and just try things out?
I walked up to a tree, took a breath, pulled my fist back, and WHACK, CURNCH, BOOMB! The tree fell. Leaves scattered, and splinters flew as I smirked. "Still got it."
"Tsunade!" heard Jiraiya's voice form behind me.
Oh, crap! I turned slowly to see only Jiraiya standing right behind me. Well at least it's only Jiraiya. He'll do anything for me. For once I agree.
"How did you do that?"
"I-Uh-Ummm."
Jiraiya looked at me in wonder.
"Please don't tell anyone!" Why did you just beg Jiraiya! I don't know I panicked! You're Tsunade! The Slug Princess of the Leaf! And you were and will be the Hokage, and the best dam medic in the world! YOU- DON'T - BEG!
"Why don't you want anyone to know about that? That was amazing!"
"I-Just don't tell okay." I took a few threatening step toward him. "And if you tell anyone I'll break every bone in your body!" Now that's more like it!
"Okay! Okay! I won't tell!"
"Swear?"
"I swear! If…"
"If?" Here we go.
"If you go on a date with me." Jiraiya said slyly.
shot him a death glare. He backed off. "You'll say yes eventually."
"Ummm… Let me think… NO!" I yelled. Yeah she's back!
The training went just as it had last time. Jiraiya got tied to the post and Orochimaru and I got the bells.
"Alright you two can eat but Jiraiya, "Hiruzen Sensei said, "You don't."
Jiraiya looked just as bitter as I remembered. I went back to the Stone and grabbed my lunch and raced back the Third Training Ground. Jiraiya was just standing there tied to the post looking miserable. I walked up to him, he didn't even notice. I sat down in front of him.
"Hey flat chest."
Now thatis going to get him knocked half way across the village one day (I'm not kidding), in time… I'm only six so hey, I'm going to let him go on that one. "Well I guess you're not hungry." I said holding up my lunch box.
"Huh? Tsunade you'd get in trouble if you fed me."
"Those who break rules are scum."
"Isn't that what I pretty much just said?"
"But… Those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum." I raised my eyebrows. I held up a rice ball, Jiraiya opened his mouth and I stuffed it in.
"TSUNADE!" Hiruzen Sensei yelled. "Good job."
The rice ball almost fell out of Jiraiya's mouth. I pretended to look surprised. I smirked on the inside. No kidding, old man!
After training I started to walk home alone but surprise, surprise Jiraiya followed.
"Hey, Tsunade!"
I turned around, "Yeah?"
"Can I walk you home?"
You gonna answer him or not?"Don't think anything of it."
A grin spread across his face. We walked for a little while before anyone said anything. Surprise, surprise Jiraiya was the first to say anything. "Hey, Tsunade?"
"Hm."
"How did you do that?"
I shrugged, "I just focused my chakra to my fist."
"Tsunade, that was amazing! No too many people, even Jonin, can do that!"
"You swore you wouldn't tell anyone!" I stopped walking abruptly.
"I'm not! I'm not!" he put his hands up defensively
"You better not! Or I'll throw you half way across the village!"
We continued walking again. Again he was the first to start talking, "Thanks for the rice ball."
"We're teammates. That's what we're supposed to do for each other." I shrugged.
"So what's Orochimaru's deal, anyway?"
"His parents died." I said bluntly.
"Oh." I nodded. "But did you see the look on Orochimaru's face when Hiruzen Sensei told you 'good job?'"
I laughed. "Yeah that was funny!"
"I swear he was about to scream!" Jiraiya laughed.
I wish you could have seen your face, Jiraiya! You looked so stupid with that rice ball hanging out of your mouth!"
Jiraiya laughed at that, "Yep a real camera moment! You know what?"
"What?"
"Your hair would look really good in pigtails."
"Pigtails?" I shook my head. So that's where I got it from! I can't believe I forgot that!
That night I lay in bed thinking over the past two days events. Okay so Jiraiya's still head over heels for me. Like that was worth mentioning. I still have my chakra control that's a plus. Yeah but there's one thing I'd like to know. What? What about… Well you know… How the heck should I know! I didn't know last time either! I sighed and clicked off the lamp that sat on my night stand. This is going to be harder than I thought. Gee ya think? Ahhhhh shut up!
Author's Comments
So what do you think? Oh! The underlined italics are the inner adult Tsunade and the italics are the inner kid Tsunade. Like the inner Sakura in part 1 of the Naruto series. For those of you who are wondering. I know not too much Orochimaru yet but I'll give him something to do. Also I know the chapters in my stories are short, but that's the way I do things. And it helps me get them out quicker and if things are too long then people get bored reading it. No matter how good it is… Like that new movie Avatar, I haven't seen it yet but peoples told me it was good but they got bored because it was so long!
