I do not own Naruto in any way, shape, or form. This is merely for my, and hopefully everyone else's, enjoyment. Thank you!
Recap:
Naruto looked at her again and noticed that she did have marks on her face that looked like his whisker marks…
Naruto: Is that like some clan tattoo or something?
Yuu: No… it's…
Naruto: Whiskers… like the Ninetails…
Yuu: How did you know?
Naruto: Because… that's why I have mine…
Yuu: You have… the other half… I knew it…! Grandpa had been saying something about finding the other half to keep it safe, and from the moment I saw you I knew we belonged together!
xxxxxxxxxx
Sasuke: I will… kill you!!
Kisame: Hehe… Seems like he's mad at you… What's his problem?
Itachi: He's my younger brother…
Kisame: … I heard that the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out… by you…
Sasuke: … I've been wanting to say this to you… "I've lived hating you… I've only lived to kill you… I HAVE LIVED FOR THIS"!!
Naruto began to channel the Kyuubi's chakra but it was sucked up by Kisame's sword as it filled the entire hallway. Yuuki saw this and tried to give it a try but the results were the same…
Itachi: So the two of you together… Interesting…
Jiraiya: You guys wanted to draw me away so you used the Sharingan to cast genjutsu on the woman, huh? Not a very manly way of doing things… So, you really are after Naruto…
Itachi: And the girl over there as well, seeing as she seems to have the same exact power we need. The reason Kakashi knew about this must have been because you were his source of information… "To abduct Naruto"… those were the orders given to us by the higher echelons of our organization, "Akatsuki".
xxxxxxxxxx
Sasuke: E… Even now… there's still such a huge gap between us…! Why is there… so big a difference?! What… have I been doing… all this time!!? What the hell… have I…
Itachi grabbed Sasuke by his throat and lifted him off the ground. He then opened his eyes to reveal his Mangekyo Sharingan. With his genjutsu, "Tsukuyomi", Sasuke was shown the very graphic murder of his entire clan. For the next 72 hours, Sasuke would have to bear this hellish torture!
Itachi: Why are you weak? You want to know why…? It's because you still don't have enough… Hate…!
He whispered to Sasuke…
xxxxxxxxxxx
Itachi: Well, if it is true about Naruto then there is no need to be hasty. The girl on the other hand, it's unknown what may become of her… Anyway, I need to rest for a while… After using "Tsukuyomi" and then "Amaterasu", there'd be no way for me to continue fighting since I'm so exhausted…
xxxxxxxxxx
Naruto: Pervy sage… Those guys… what are they after me for? After us…?
Jiraiya: As for why they want that power inside of you… I have no clue, but if they can harness and control that power then things may take a turn for the worst… Those guys'll keep trying to get you. It's a destiny you both have to face up to… but when that happens, I'll be right there to protect you, so don't…
Naruto: And that's exactly why… I have to become stronger…!
Yuu: Yeah! We'll both get stronger and with the two of us together… we'll beat those guys!
Hinata: I… I'll help… if I can…
Naruto: Ok…!! Let's hurry up and find this lady so that we can begin my training! ...Um… Wait a minute… Isn't this beautiful woman we're looking for one of the "Three Ninjas" like you?
Hinata: Um… What is she like?
Jiraiya: Hm… Tsunade… *thinking* …Well… she's kind of annoying. She's a compulsive gambler and well known in many countries…
Naruto: It should be pretty easy to find her then if she's so famous…!
Jiraiya: Oh yeah, she's famous alright… She's known as the "Legendary Sucker"…! She may have a name but I don't think that she'll be easy to find… She isn't the type to age gracefully, exactly… She may be using a special jutsu to alter her appearance and appear to be in her 20s when she's actually 50! And as I've been hearing lately… sometimes she changes her appearance from a 10 year old to a 30 or 40 year old to get away from her gambling debts…
Naruto-Yuuki: That's… not a good thing.
Jiraiya: As a kid she loved to gamble more than anything else. Unfortunately, she sucked at it in both luck and skill!
Naruto: Well, how're we gonna find her? I've never met her so I wouldn't know her chakra signature if we happened to run into her…
Jiraiya: You let me worry about that, besides… we're gonna be spending most of our time on our journey on you! We're gonna power you up! It's training time!
A Little Fun, A Little Training... & A Little Old Lady...?
The travelers reached a village full of people and Jiraiya mentioned that the first thing would be to gather information on Tsunade's whereabouts. Training would come after that. For now, the three could do as they pleased, at least until the festival was over.
Naruto checked his bag and pulled out his fat wallet. Jiraiya saw this and offered to hold it for him so that he doesn't "splurge".
Yuu: Noo!! *snatching the wallet*
Jiraiya: What's the meaning of this, Yuu?
Yuu: I won't let you take Naruto's money and spend it on women and booze…!
Jiraiya: You-You've got it all wrong… I only mean to keep the boy from wasting it…
Yuu: So you aren't gonna spend a cent, right?
Jiraiya: …Weell…
Yuu: I knew it!
Jiraiya: I was only gonna use it if I had to, like to get information out of someone that wants a little bribe in exchange… Now give it here… *reaching for it*
Yuu: Nooooo!!! *running a distance away*
Jiraiya: *clenches fist* … Whyyy yooouuu…!!
He stopped as he noticed Hinata presenting a wallet to him. It wasn't Naruto's frog wallet, so it must have been…
Hinata: Um… Here… If you need a little extra money than… you can use mine…
Tears began to well up in his eyes at Hinata's kind gesture…
Jiraiya: (Sniff, sniff)… Why thank you little lady… (sniff)… You're so kind, like the granddaughter I never had…!
Everyone sweat-dropped at this surprising display of sentiment. Even Yuuki, who was extremely peeved at this statement…
Yuu: *grits teeth & mumbles* …Of course she's like the granddaughter you've never had, because your granddaughter would know better…
Jiraiya gladly accepted Hinata's offer but took out a few dollars to give to Hinata before he left…
Yuu: You better kiss your money goodbye, Hinata… you'll never see a cent of it again now… *walking up*
Jiraiya: That isn't true! I'm just holding it, like I said… Other than using it to get information, I wanted Naruto's wallet to keep him from partaking in the "Three Sins" that shinobi are forbidden to do: Alcohol, women, and money.
Naruto: Is that it? You're making a big fuss over nothing then. I'm not really interested in those!
Yuu: Not interested in those… not even women! Could it be that Naruto is…?
Naruto: I'm not old enough to drink alcohol, I don't really understand the interest in women, and you don't have to worry about me using my savings like that… Instead of preaching to me about these things, maybe you should pay more attention to what you do…
Jiraiya: Never mind that! Just go have fun or whatever… and stay out of trouble!
Naruto: … Fine… And don't worry Hinata, anything you want just tell me and I'll buy it for you…
Yuu: He'll buy her stuff, but… what about me…?
Naruto: You too Yuuki…! Just you name it…!
Yuuki gave a great big smile as she happily handed Naruto his wallet…
Jiraiya: You're gonna treat both of them…! You don't know what you're getting yourself into, but… at least you know how to treat a lady… (chuckles)… With Yuuki's appetite, you're gonna be broke before you get to have any real fun… *walks away*
Hinata: D-Don't worry Naruto… we still have food left and I even have a little extra money to spend… i-if we need it…
Naruto: Really…? Well you don't have to worry about something like that. Just leave it all to me, I'm sure we can make this work… *puffing out chest*
Yuu: *smiling & blushing* …Wait a minute… This feeling… it's like that time after Naruto protected me… I think… I think I'm starting to fall for Naruto… *notices a smiling & blushing Hinata* …That girl…! I should have known… I don't blame her, who could resist Naruto? There's no way I'm leaving him alone with her however! I'm gonna make sure that he has more fun with me than he does with her…! !
The three went off and Yuuki stuck to Naruto like his shadow. She even grabbed his tail to make sure that he didn't slip away. Hinata saw this and was a little jealous that she didn't have the courage to grab Naruto's tail or his hand for that matter…
The three had fun as they played games, ate the festival food, and bought things. The three continued to make their way through the festival, with no money left, when they heard Jiraiya's voice. They went in to find him drinking alcohol, with women on his lap, and Hinata's wallet empty. This was a fine example to be setting…
Naruto was livid and was flying off the handle. He called Jiraiya's actions to attention. As he did, he accidentally stained some guy's suit. The guy and his buddy weren't having it and if Naruto didn't compensate, then he would be sorry. Naruto refused and the two attacked. Jiraiya took this opportunity to show Naruto the new technique he would be learning…
Raw chakra began to form in his hand in a spinning fashion. Jiraiya took the rapidly spinning ball of chakra and thrusted it into the gut of the guy in the suit.
Jiraiya: RASENGAN!!
He was picked off of his feet and spun through the air and into his buddy. The two crashed into the cart across the way…
Jiraiya paid the owner of the destroyed cart for the damages and all of the balloons he was selling. It was now time for training!
Time skip…
It had been a few days since Naruto had begun his training. He had successfully completed the first two steps in completing it but was having trouble with the third. Jiraiya blew up a balloon and tossed it to Naruto…
Jiraiya: The first step was to spin… The second step was power… And finally, the third step is…
The third step was taking all Naruto learned in the first and second steps and combining them, maxing out the spin and power of his chakra and concentrating it within the balloon. It sounded simple enough but when Naruto gave it a try… the balloon exploded, releasing a burst of chakra that knocked Naruto and anyone close on their butts.
There was no time to dilly-dally so Naruto and the girls got up and followed Jiraiya as they continued the search for Tsunade…
Jiraiya: Get it together kid, you're gonna have to get it on the move… There's no guarantee that Tsunade will stay in one place for too long. It's not as if an old friend is gonna start chit chatting with her out of the blue…
He didn't know how wrong he was…
Orochimaru: It's been quite a while, Tsunade. I'd like to ask you for a favor…
Orochimaru informed her of how he got his wounds and his arms in the shape they were… by killing their former sensei. Tempers flared and after a brief scuffle between their "apprentices" and a threat of death, Orochimaru made Tsunade a proposition he believed she couldn't refuse. He offered to revive her two most precious people… her little brother and her former lover. All she would have to do is bring her own sacrifices. He and Kabuto were then on their way as they gave her time to think things over…
Jiraiya and his traveling companions had entered a gambling den in hopes of finding a bigger lead on Tsunade. The only way for them to get any answers from the shady men was to play by their rules. One of the men took out a cup with dice and jumbled them inside the cup before placing it on the ground…
One of the other men saw Naruto and the girls and tried to convince one of them to try their luck. He was hoping it to be Naruto as Naruto's refattened wallet was sticking out of his bag.
Yuuki: Hey…! Leave him alone! He's trying to concentrate and you're distracting him…!
This didn't sit too well with the "bro" as he and Yuuki began to argue. Meanwhile, Jiraiya had placed his bet. If the dice turned up even he would win the information he was seeking. If it was odd however, he would have to pay 1000 bucks. The man lifted the cup revealing that the dice were…
Jiraiya: Aww! Just my luck…
All the noise of the den was starting to get to Naruto. Hinata could see this and was about to try and calm him down but… it was too late. Chakra exploded from the balloon, ripping throughout the den. The chakra tore the wallpaper off the wall, knocked over innocent bystanders, and overturned the dice…
Jiraiya: Haa! Just my luck…! Good timing Naruto!
Jiraiya received the information and they were off again. They came to a village that was known for its large castle, but when they got there…
Jiraiya asked someone what had happened to the now collapsed castle and the guy said that the devastation was caused by some kind of monster. They went to investigate and as they did, Jiraiya began to get a bad feeling.
They finally arrived in the courtyard of the castle. There they found a wall that had been smashed through. Unknown to them, this was the work of none other than Tsunade. Jiraiya checked the area for any sign of who was responsible and they were off in search yet again.
It was getting late and the rumbling of certain tummies caught Jiraiya's ear. Since they were coming up on a bar, Jiraiya offered to treat the youngsters. Naruto and Yuuki had no complaints as they quickly rushed in. As Jiraiya and Hinata followed, Jiraiya noticed that in the back of the room sat…
Jiraiya: Tsunade…!!? I knew it…
Tsunade: *squinting her eyes* …Jiraiya…!!? *pointing at him*
She was surprised to see him, especially today of all days. He and his companions made their way over and joined her and Shizune. Jiraiya and Naruto sat across the table from Tsunade and Shizune while Hinata and Yuuki sat in the next booth…
Naruto: Is this really that Tsunade lady we've been looking for…?
Yuu: She doesn't look 50… I wonder how she manages to keep herself looking so young and… how did she grow them so big?
As they ate dinner, which Naruto was volunteered to pay for to his discretion, Jiraiya informed Tsunade why they were there. They had been searching for her… so that she could be appointed the 5th Hokage…
Hearing this, Naruto nearly choked to death on his food. If it wasn't for Yuuki and Hinata patting him on the back he probably would have died.
Shizune: So it must be true... The 3rd is…
Tsunade: Orochimaru already told me that it was all his doing…
Naruto: That bastard Orochimaru…!! This Orochimaru guy, just who the hell is he?
Jiraiya: He was one of us… one of the "Three Legendary Ninjas".
Naruto: Is that why you wouldn't let me finish him off when I had the chance?
Tsunade: Like a kid like you could actually do something like that…
Naruto: (Grunts)!
Jiraiya: Ever since Orochimaru left the village, I've kept my eye on him… because I knew that someday he would return. He became my main concern…
Tsunade: I didn't think you were the type for babysitting, Jiraiya… Just who is this kid?
Jiraiya: … Naruto Uzumaki…
Tsunade: This boy… So he's the Kyuubi…
Naruto: Also… why is it she gets to become Hokage? What exactly qualifies her…?
Jiraiya: The details don't really matter… *looks at Tsunade* …Well, Tsunade…?
She appeared to be deep in thought before she was finally rattled back to reality. She then declined the offer as it would just be a hassle.
Naruto: What the hell is going on here? You said that we were coming to get her to help heal Sasuke and Kakashi sensei, and yet… you ask her to be our Hokage?! And she declined…!!!
Jiraiya: Don't make such a big deal about this… Tsunade is the only person who is qualified to be the 5th Hokage… She was one of the ones responsible for our victory in the Great Ninja War… no one has been able to duplicate her techniques. Also, she is the granddaughter of the 1st Hokage, so she is the most appropriate person for the position. If she becomes Hokage… she would have to return to the village and then she could help those two… This was a decision made by the top members of the Leaf so it doesn't really concern you...
Naruto: … Fine… *crosses arms & pouts*
Tsunade: Jiraiya, this kid seems worse than your previous apprentice... in terms of looks, speech, and intelligence…
Naruto: Oh yeah…! Well…
Jiraiya: Well… it's tough for anyone to be compared to the 4th… because he really had the talent to become a top rated ninja… He was smart, reliable, and handsome just like me!
Tsunade: But even the 4th died young… He gave up his life for his village… Life is different from money, it shouldn't be gambled away that easily… Whoever puts it at risk so easily is a fool. My grandfather and the 2nd both focused too much on bringing peace to our home, more than anyone else, but as a result… they died in the middle of their dreams…
Jiraiya: You've changed a lot these past years Tsunade. I don't know what happened to you, but you've just said all that's on your mind…
Tsunade: Well… I'm already in my 50s… age changes people. It's the same for Sarutobi sensei… It's no wonder he died… he was too old to live his dreams… Being Hokage is a fool's dream… Only a fool would do it!!
Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He exploded onto the table and attacked Tsunade. His punch stopped mere inches away from her face as Jiraiya managed to grab him in time.
Jiraiya: Calm down Naruto… this isn't the right thing to do…
Naruto: I won't calm down! I won't forgive anyone who says bad things about my grandpa, the 4th, or the other Hokages!!! I don't care, even if she is a woman… I'M GOING TO KICK HER ASS!
Tsunade: Hmph… Apparently you don't know who you're talking to "little boy"…
Naruto: Like I care! You could be the strongest person in the world… I won't take back what I said!!
Tsunade noticed that Jiraiya had Naruto by his tail but he hadn't passed out or even looked to be weakening. She smirked and stood face to face with Naruto…
Tsunade: You've got some guts to say that to me, boy… Let's take this outside…
Shizune: Lady Tsunade…!
Outside…
Tsunade: I'm one of the "Three Legendary Ninjas", I don't have to even be serious to fight you little boy…
Naruto: Shut up!!!
Naruto pulled out a kunai and Tsunade extended one finger declaring that it should be enough to defeat Naruto. Naruto stabbed his kunai into the ground and crouched. Hinata quickly recognized what he was going for but she couldn't help but worry…
Naruto lifted his head and glared at Tsunade with intensity. He pulled out a few shurikens and threw them. Tsunade easily dodged them but when she looked up Naruto was in her face swinging away with his kunai…
Tsunade: This kid is faster than I expected…
She managed to avoid being cut or stabbed and snatched Naruto's kunai away. In one swift movement, she ripped Naruto's forehead protector off using the kunai. The force of the attack caused Naruto's head to whip back and when he brought it back…
With a single flick of her finger, Tsunade thumped Naruto on the forehead and forced him back a few yards.
Naruto: She knocked me back this far with only one finger… That's some crazy strength…
Jiraiya: So… what do you say Naruto? Do you give up?
Tsunade returned his kunai by throwing it right in front of him. Not too far away landed his headband. Naruto looked at it and began to chuckle to himself…
Tsunade: *scowling* … Hey kid… what's so funny? Why don't you just give up, you have no chance of winning!
Naruto: I already told you… I don't care how strong you are… I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!
Tsunade: I don't understand… Why… do you care so much about Hokage?
Naruto: That's because, unlike you… I really want that title… to succeed the Hokage name and… I will… because to become Hokage, is my dream!!
Hearing those words caused memories and emotions to resurface. It wasn't just the words though as Naruto reminded her of the two most precious individuals in her life…
Naruto saw an opening as Tsunade was in another world. He decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to test his new jutsu. As Naruto began to go through the necessary processes, the chakra from the attack woke Tsunade and to her surprise Naruto was barreling down on her...
Tsunade: … This technique…
Naruto was only inches away and if Tsunade didn't do anything fast, she would be in a world of trouble. She took her finger and used it to split the ground right under Naruto's feet. He lost his balance and drove his attack into the ground as well…
The attack repelled him into the air where he landed in the cracked earth. Shizune, Hinata, and Yuuki all rushed to help Naruto who was now stuck…
Jiraiya: That Tsunade and her monstrous strength… I remember being punched by her and ending up 100 meters away…It's too bad though, I guess Naruto still couldn't do the jutsu the right way…
Tsunade: Never thought he would try and use the 4th's technique… but that lack of control… it's nothing like the 4th's… *scowling* … Jiraiya… was it you who tried to teach this kid the "Rasengan"?!
Jiraiya: I'm his master… so…
Tsunade: The only one that can use that technique is the 4th and you… Teaching him something he can't do, and believing you're his master… It's better if he doesn't think that way… so silly kids won't joke about foolish dreams like becoming "Hokage"…
Naruto: What the hell would you know…!? It's no joke! For you to say something like that… are you scared…?
Tsunade: Hmph… Why would I be scared?
Naruto: I nearly had you there… I've seen the destructive power of this jutsu and since you know about it I'm sure you've seen it too. Before long I'll be able to do it perfectly!
Tsunade: Heh… That's some big talk, brat… A man's word should never be taken back…
Naruto: Of course I won't take them back… That's my ninja way! *grinning at Tsunade*
Tsunade: *smug look* …Well then… how about this… in one week's time… if you can master that jutsu, I'll acknowledge that you could become Hokage… and give you this necklace…
Yuuki and Shizune managed to free Naruto and Tsunade showed him the necklace that was around her neck.
Naruto: Why would I want something like that?
Jiraiya: That's a very unique and precious item that once belonged to the 1st Hokage. If sold, it could buy three mountains…
Naruto: *dollar signs in his eyes* …Well… I guess that it would be alright…
Jiraiya: The kid really likes money…
Tsunade: … But if you can't master it in a week, then you lose… and all your money will belong to me…
Jiraiya: What is it with these two and money?
Shizune: What are you doing Lady Tsunade? That necklace is…
Tsunade: Heh… It's not like he can do it anyway… Let's go Shizune!
Naruto: Wait! Aren't we gonna finish things here?
Yuu: Either you're very brave Naruto… or you have a death wish. Didn't you see what she did to the ground… with only her finger!
Tsunade: Listen kid, you've got guts… but there's no point in continuing. You'll only be pulverized…
Naruto began to chuckle to himself again as he stood up…
Naruto: That may very well happen but… I still want to go on. It's very interesting how you can do so much damage with only one finger… I'm excited to see how strong you really are!
Tsunade: Jiraiya… you should tell him about how that "excitement" can end his life if he can't control himself.
Jiraiya: She's right Naruto… This excitement to fight someone strong could become you're downfall. It's best to leave it at this… Hopefully you'll get another chance to test yourself against Tsunade in the future…
Tsunade and Shizune began to leave but Jiraiya asked Tsunade to join him for a few drinks and asked Shizune to look after the kids in the meantime...
Later that evening…
Jiraiya: You know, you become more and more beautiful everytime I see you… *laying on the charm (in a drunken slur)*
Tsunade: You haven't changed one bit… Too bad for you, I don't date guys like yourself…
Jiraiya: It's not like I'm interested… I'm just stating fact… After all, you're still a 50 year old woman…
Tsunade: What!?
Jiraiya: N-Nothing… Did she hear my thoughts? …Are you worried… about Naruto? To a child back there, you acted childishly… Even if he trained extensively, there's no way he can master that technique in a week… That's not even a fair bet. Why are you so reckless?
Tsunade: Hell… I'm not reckless… Reckless is teaching a child such a dangerous technique… Why did you teach it to him?
Jiraiya: … I wanted to make sure that he came along with me… He didn't really want to, so I bribed him with the claim of teaching him a new, powerful jutsu. Being a man of my word, I told him the process… *smiles* …He was so excited…
Tsunade: …By your expression, he wasn't the only one…
Jiraiya: *still smiling* …Yeah, I guess you're right. I expected him to take much longer in the previous steps… Yuuki is still having trouble with it and I started her on it nearly two years ago, but Naruto… he's already on the final step and nearly finished with it. *smile changes to a frown* … I guess that I'll have to find some other kind of way to get him to come along with me…
Tsunade: Heh… You barely know the brat and you've already grown so attached to him… Maybe I should warn him of your intentions… Maybe then he'll realize…
Jiraiya: *interrupting* …Going to meet up with Orochimaru, aren't you? I could tell from Shizune's facial expression. I don't know what sort of deal he offered you but… don't make such a hasty decision…… There is one thing I want to make clear… The past Hokages protected those who lived in the Leaf village… They reigned in troubled times yet still allowed the village to have prosperity… That ideal… they bet their lives on that dream. You too should understand their feelings…… Tsunade, one more thing… If you ever do anything that betrays the Leaf… I'll kill you…
Tsunade: …It has nothing to do with me…
Jiraiya: Only a murderer would show no feelings knowing they caused the death of people close to them… You're not like that, right? You do care for the safety of those that live in the village…
Tsunade: Stop lecturing me already! Why'd you have to bring that brat along?
Jiraiya: … They're alike, aren't they…?
Tsunade: They're even the same age… Nawaki…
Nawaki was Tsunade's younger brother. Naruto and he were similar in more ways than one. They had the same enthusiasm, stubbornness, guts, and dream… to one day become Hokage! That was before he died…
Naruto also reminded her of her former fiancé, Dan. Like Nawaki and Naruto, Dan shared the very same dream of becoming Hokage one day. Unfortunately, he too died…
Hotel…
Naruto was still trying to complete his jutsu but he continued to fail time and time again. He finally figured that the best way to master it would be to use it in a situational scenario. As he opened the door to leave, there were Shizune and the girls coming to check up on him. Shizune took this opportunity to explain things to Naruto about Tsunade, the necklace, and her "problems"…
She explained how Tsunade used to be so warm and caring before… the death of her loved ones. She mentioned that the necklace was cursed and that if anyone else but Tsunade wore it, they would die. For his 12th birthday, Nawaki was given the necklace as a present and… the very next day he died in a raid on the village.
The necklace returned to Tsunade's care until she gave it away again. This time it was to Dan, Shizune's uncle. The two met after a proposal to assign medical specialist to each team by Tsunade and Dan agreed with her suggestion. After the meeting, Tsunade thanked him for supporting her idea. The two immediately hit it off and it wasn't long before he was given the necklace, for luck.
On a mission in enemy territory, Dan was severely injured. Tsunade came to his aid but even she couldn't heal him. He didn't want to die since he wanted to become Hokage and bring peace to his land. He passed away and she was powerless to save him. His blood was on her hands, literally, and she blamed herself…
After hearing the story, Naruto headed for the door. He was more determined than ever to complete his training…
End of chapter...
After finding Tsunade, she and Naruto have a brief altercation which leads to a deal between the two...
Naruto makes a bet with Tsunade and gets down to some serious training...
Next chapter: The deal breaks down!!
