Tsunade was on a gambling trip- er, I mean, mission. Unfortunately, the casino, er, I mean, enemy headquarters, didn't allow pets. So, she couldn't bring Ton Ton. After the first day was over, she called Shizune.
"Shizune, how's Ton Ton?" she asked.
"Dead." Shizune replied bluntly.
The line was silent. Then, Tsunade spoke up. "Shizune, you are REALLY inconsiderate!" Tsunade chided. "You should've broken it to me gently."
"For example," Tsunade continued. "today, you could've said that Ton Ton was on the roof, but you were trying to get him down.
"The second day, you could've said that Ton Ton was moving towards the edge of the roof, but you were confident that he wouldn't fall." Tsunade continued to scold.
"The third day, you could've said that Ton Ton had fallen, but he was at the vet, making a recovery." Tsunade was rather out of breath.
"And on the fourth day, you could've said that the vet had done everything he could, but Ton Ton had died anyways." Tsunade finished.
"Yes ma'am!" Shizune said.
"Oh, and before I forget," Tsunade added. "How's Jiraya doing? Last time I saw him, he was going to Amegakure to find out more about the Akatsuki leader."
Shizune was silent. Then, she spoke up. "Er...he's on the roof."
