Chapter 35: Will Tsunade heal the Curse?

"Shizune!" Screamed a Blonde women with freakishly large breast, "why the hell didn't you stop me?"

"Tsunade-sama," said Shizune, a female Nin with short black hair, "I tried, but you threatened me. For a Sannin, your not very responsible."

"Shut up," Tsunade yelled.

"Fine, but were almost to the Inn, lets just cut our losses and call it a night," Shizune sighed. Tsunade was notorious as a horrible gambler, and became known as the Legendary Sucker for her losing streak. (I say streak as a singlurar, as she has never been off of it.)

"Alright, I'll win it all back tomorrow for sure," Tsunade said.

"Won't you ever..." before Shizune could finish both her and Tsunade felt a dark presence in an ally way.

"Who's there?" asked Tsunade, "If you're here to collect no deal!"

"Come now Tsunade-chan, don't you recognize your old friend?" came a snaky voice from the alley.

"You..." Tsunade said in a low and angry voice, "You'd better explain yourself now, otherwise your done for."

"Direct as usual," orichimaru said walking out from the shadows with the Silver haired Kabuto at his side, "I have an offer for you."

"You have three seconds before I rip that smug look of your face," Tsunade growled. Shizune new who this was, though had never seen Tsunade so infuriated.

"I can give you back Nawaki and Dan," Orichimaru smiled. Tsunade's infuriated Shaking stopped as the images of her younger brother Nawaki and her old boyfriend Dan flashed before her eyes.

"Come back soon dan," a young Tsunade said handing he boyfriend a necklace with a purple crystal, "take it as a good luck charm..

However the next day, an ANBU arrived at her doorstep handing Tsunade that same pendant, and Tsunade broke out in tears. The one man she truly loved had died last night on his mission.

A younger Tsunade was crying as she held a smiling boy in her arms. Rain was pouring down as she cried, "Nawaki, why did you do that?"

"Sorry, sis, but I had to in order to protect the village," he said weakly, his life slowly fading, "Sis, thank you for the pendant," he said holding a purple crystal on a necklace in his hand, and with that he faded away.

"All I need you to do is heal my arms for me Tsunade, and then I can bring back the ones you lost," Orichimaru smiled.

"And what do you intend to do when you get your arms back?" asked Tsunade.

"Quite simple, I will attack Kohona," replied Orichimaru. Tsunade was surprised by his directness, but only stood there saying nothing.

"Tsunade!" Shizune said jumping in front of her, "I don't know who those two he mentioned are, but don't listen to him."

"Shut up," Said Tsunade in a low voice. Shizune only looked back in surprise.

"But..." she tried to find the words, but nothing came.

"You probably need time to think this over, I'll come back to you in a weeks time," smiled ORichimaru as him and Kabuto left.

"You can't be considering taking him up on that offer, are you?" asked Shizune.

"I don't know," is All Tsunade could manage.

"You do realize what giving him back his arms would mean, don't you?" came a stern voice from behind them.

"Shut up Jiraiya," said Tsunade.

"Is it really worth getting your brother and boyfriend back Tsunade?" he asked her.

"I said Shut up!" Screamed Tsunade swinging around to punch him. Jiraiya ducked backwards avoiding it as Tsunade began to cry, "I don't need a lecture from you. I'll decide what to do here on my own."

"Tsunade, if you decide to heal his arms, I'll have to kill you," Jiraiya said without any hesitation as he walked off. Shizune helped the crying Tsunade back to the hotel.

"Naruto," said Iruka, "while I don't know why Jiraiya wanted you to come, its best you be able to defend yourself, so I'll be teaching you a new technique."

"Sweet!" yelled Naruto, "What is it?"

"As a Genin this used to by my favorite move, Air Razor Jutsu!" Iruka sad after a couple hand seals were made. He swung his hand several times a short distance from naruto, and when Naruto looked down there were several slices in his jacket, "it creates a small blade of chakra just in front of your fingertips."

"That's pretty neat," Naruto said in amazement, "let me try, Air razor Jutsu!" and naruto tried cutting into his jacket, but only a little scratch appeared. The rest of the day the three walked on, Naruto practicing the technique, and at the end of the day he had already managed to slice through his jacket.

"That's great Naruto, you picked up on that one pretty fast," Iruka smiled. It taken him two weeks to get his that good, and Naruto managed to do it in one day.

"So, you're the one who wants to be the next Hokage, right?" asked Hayate.

"That's right," NAruto smiled, "so you'd best be prepared to hand your title over to me one day."

"With your power you won't make it," Hayate replied, "You'll need much stronger Jutsu for that to happen," Iruka new what was coming. Hayate had taken a liking to Naruto, though Iruka didn't think Naruto was ready for what was coming.

"Hayate, I don't think..." but Iruka's interjection was short lived.

"Cram it," said Naruto, "Your nothing but a sickly old man anyway! And besides, if I really need stronger Jutsu why don't you teach some to me!"

"Alright," Hayate replied. Naruto only looked dumbfounded. They stopped to rest after that, and when Naruto had fallen asleep Iruka and Hayate began to talk.

"I don't think he's ready for any high level Jutsu yet Hayate," Iruka said.

"I beg to differ, he learned that technique of yours in one day, and he is able to do the KAge Bushin, correct?" he said smiling.

"Yes, but still Hayate, I don't want to have his dreams dashed so soon just because he can't do one of your Jutsu," Iruka replied.

"Don't worry, he'll learn it, I've got hopes for him, and besides, he'll probably replace me soon anyway," Hayate said.

"What do you mean?" Iruka asked, "If Tsunade heals you, you'll probably be hokage for a while."

"My sickness is incurable," he answered, "I know very well I'm only going to be Hokage until someone else will be able to take the title. Tsunade is only a way to slow down the process and keep me fighting at full power, nothing more," at that the conversation stopped. Iruka had now Idea his friend Hayate. He realized why he was doing this now, he wanted Naruto to succeed him and become the villages sixth Hokage.
