Chapter 2: Past times
Tsunade sat at the window of her small house. She had just come in from training. Tsunade loved looking out at Konoha on bright sunny afternoons like this one. Just as she was getting up to get a snack, her little brother Nawaki walked over to her. Nawaki was only 10 years old and in the ninja academy. He had big dreams about coming hokage one day though his sister always told him to forget about it. The two siblings loved each other very much thought they got into arguments quite a bit. "Tsunade?" asked Nawaki.
"Yeah" said Tsunade a hint of annoyance at the fact the little boy had just interrupted her from eating. Tsunade got grumpy when she didn't eat.
"Could you, maybe teach me some of your super-cool ninja techniques after dinner?" asked the boy very hopefully. Nawaki never really asked his sister for anything so he was hoping she would say yes.
Tsunade blushed. "Sure, why not?" she said. Tsunade didn't really have any "super-cool" ninja moves yet. She had always wanted to be a medic, yet she knew that taijutsu was always something she would like as well.
"YAY, thank you sister, thank you!" exclaimed the boy before running off. "What a weird kid" thought Tsunade.
Meanwhile Orochimaru was outside of the little house he called his own, for his parents were now deceased. He was practicing his taijutsu on a practice dummy his sensei had given him. Orochimaru never really liked taijutsu but he figured it was best since the next days training was most likely taijutsu. Orochimaru was a calm boy but he always wondered why Jiraiya didn't like him. Orochimaru used to be such a happy boy until the night his parents died. Ever since he was always quiet and kept to himself. Tsunade would sometimes try to talk to him but he would always just brush her off. Orochimaru's stomach growled, so he went in for dinner.
Jiraiya had not trained one bit. He In fact was at the ramen shop eating a hot dish of his favorite ramen. Jiraiya heard something behind him and looked back. To his great surprise he saw a monkey! "What the hell!" exclaimed an amazed Jiraiya.
"You should spend more time training so you can perform jutsu like these and less eating" said a deep voice from behind the monkey. The voice came from Jiraiya's sensei.
"How the hell do you know I wasn't training!" yelled Jiraiya. "N-not to say I that I actually WASN'T training b-but"
"No buts, come with me Jiraiya. Jiraiya sat for a moment a noodle hanging out of his mouth. "Now, Jiraiya" Sarutobi sensei said calmly.
"Oh alright"Said Jiraiya. The two walking to a more private place.
