Chapter Two

At the Hokage Mansion

When the three of them walked into the mansion, Naruto blurted out "Hey! Why are we stopping here?"

Jiraiya rolled his eyes. 'Man what an idiot'…"Well because I'm taking her to meet her mother" he looked down at Naruto waiting for the explosion.

"WHAT!YOU MEAN GRANNY TSUNADE!!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs.

Jiraiya chuckled. 'And there's the explosion'

Tsunade heard Naruto's voice and sighed. 'Well they must be here, might as well look decent' she put away her sake and straitened her desk.

"Wow, my mother is really the Hokage" Hotaru smiled proudly.

"Yeah! And someday I'm going to be Hokage too!" Naruto said with a grin.

Jiraiya knocked on the door. "You ready?" Hotaru took a deep breath and nodded. "Come in" came a voice from the other side of the door."

Tsunade watched as they walked in. When she saw her, her heart skipped a beat, she had to hold back tears.

Hotaru looked at her mother for the first time (that she can remember) 'She is so beautiful, what should I say?' she did the first thing she could think of. She bowed in front of her and said "Lady Hokage, my name is Hotaru".

This upset Tsunade. 'Why does she feel she has to be so formal?'. She got up and walked over to her "You don't have to be formal with me." they both smiled at each other, then she hugged Hotaru. "Boys, I would like to speak to Hotaru alone for awhile." then she shoed them out.

Jiraiya and Naruto sat in the hall quietly, then Naruto broke the silence. "Sooo…That would explain Hotaru's big boobs." A vein popped out of Jiraiya's forehead as he bashed Naruto's face into the ground. He got up "Heh Heh, that's right you're a dad now. That kinda stuff probably bothers you huh?"

Steam came from Jiraiya's ears "You think?!"

"Hey now pervey sage! I'm only stating a fact you know. She's a pretty girl and guys are going to notice."

Jiraiya paused for a moment 'He's right, but I don't want to have to follow her around all the time' then he had an idea. "I just thought of a way you can train to be Hokage and be a good brother at the same time."

Naruto's eyes got big "Oh tell me! Tell me! Tell me! I'm so ready!"

"Whoa! Hang on there Tiger!" Jiraiya had to restrain Naruto from going through he roof "Here's what your going to do, watch Hotaru and make sure boys stay away from her. And if they get close, you can use your Rasengan on them, alright?" Jiraiya smiled at his plan.

Naruto looked disappointed "How the heck is that supposed to help train me?!"

"Are you kidding? It teaches responsibility, stealth and how to sneak attack. But if you don't want to be a good brother like a real brother would I guess that's you choice. I expected more of the future Hokage though." he smirked.

Naruto got on his knees "No! No! I'll do it! I won't let you down master!"

Jiraiya grinned "Heh Heh, she's lucky to have you Naruto."

"Believe it!" he smiled his goofy Naruto Uzimaki grin.

In the Hokage Office

Tsunade and Hotaru spend some time together catching up. "So what has Jiraiya, umm, your father told you? I mean, what do you know about us?"

"Well actually, he visited me as much as possible. Whenever he traveled we spent time together." that made Tsunade feel even worse than before. "He gave me a picture of you, see…" Hotaru handed her the picture. It was of her when she was younger during the war. "When he found the residence of the toads, he found that it would be the safest place for me. He brought me all sorts of things whenever he visited." she smiled like her life was a fairytale.

Tsunade was fascinated by this young woman "Did you have any friends or spend any time in a village?"

"Yeah, he's taken me with him traveling before, and I've talked to people before. Oh and I read a lot. He always brought me books." Tsunade smiled at her "But at least I had the toads and fireflies."

Tsunade looked puzzled, "Fireflies?"

"Yeah. While I was growing up I always had fireflies buzzing around me. So they named me Hotaru."

Tsunade just smiled at her. 'She's smart, she's pretty…heh, now I have a cherry blossom and a firefly.'

"Oh, and you know those romance novels dad writes? Well I've been reading those behind his back. So I know all about dating. I've read them all!" She smiled proudly.

Tsunade's eye twitched, her jaw dropped and her face went white. 'She learned about dating by reading pornographic novels?' "Umm, I don't think those are appropriate for your age, in fact I don't think anyone should read them." she took a deep breath. "I know your dads books were 'informative' but I think you should learn first hand. I have a student you could spend time with who can help you adjust to the village and so on."

Hotaru smiled "I'd like that. You know I was really nervous about meeting you, but I'm ok now."

"I was too…I wish Jiraiya told me where you were, I always regretted letting you go." they smiled at each other. "Well let's go show you off." They went into the hall where Jiraiya and Naruto were waiting.

Tsunade grabs Jiraiya by the ear. "Ouch! What did I do?"

She pulled him aside "I need to have a word with you. She says she's ready to date…apparently she learned everything from those filthy books you write."

Jiraiya's eye's got big "Oh no! Her fathers mind and her mothers body. Naruto don't let her out of your sight."

The four walked down the hall and it wasn't long till they ran into Sakura and Ino. "Ahh, just the girls I need."

The girls looked at each other "A mission lady Tsunade?"

"I guess you could call it that" she glanced over at Hotaru "I'd like you to escort this young lady around the village, you may do whatever you please. You'll start tomorrow and are relieved of your duties at the hospital till I say otherwise."

They both smiled, already brainstorming on things to do "Umm, my name is Sakura, and this is Ino. We're medical ninja here in Konoha." they had a sweet welcoming smile about them.

She returned the smile "I'm Hotaru, I'm lady Tsunade and master Jiraiya's daughter."

They screamed "You never told us you had a daughter lady Tsunade!" they kept rambling on..

Tsunade sighed. "Come on Hotaru, you can stay in the mansion." She looked over at Jiraiya. She knew he wanted to be with her too. "You can stay too Jiraiya, but just for awhile." she glared at him, he just smirked and winked at her.
