(Here's my next one.)
Six days after Naruto made the bet with Tsunade that he'd complete his Rasengan in a week, Naruto was in an open area working on his jutsu. Hun and the Foot ninja were watching him for support. Naruto would have one of them head back to the city to collect some food and drink for them all, while occasionally Tsunade or Shizune would watch from a distance so that the Foot ninja wouldn't sense them. Naruto was starting to collapse from over training, "Master maybe you should call it for the night!" Hun suggested in worry.
"I can't. Not when I'm this close!" he strained.
"Sir you're exhausted, if you force it anymore you'll be dead." A Foot ninja warned him.
"I can't stop now!" Naruto strained until he finally collapsed.
"Master!" they cry rushing over.
"Master please speak to us!" Hun begged as he shook him.
"Oh no!" Shizune ran over and checked Naruto's vital signs.
"Well?" Hun asked in worry.
"He's still alive, but extremely exhausted," Shizune says and they sighed in relief, "We should head back." She suggested.
"Hai." Hun agreed as he picked his master up and carried him.
In the hotel room Tsunade and Shizune were staying in, Naruto was lying in one of the beds at the group was watching over him. "It's getting late, you guys should head back." Shizune began as the Foot ninja looked concerned about their master, "It's ok I'll look after Naruto."
So they headed out only to walk past Tsunade, they exchanged looks but said nothing while Tsunade wondered why they were here until she saw Shizune come out of their room, "Lady Tsunade." She gasped.
When the sun rose that morning, Hun was being shaken by Jiraiya, Shizune, and Naruto in his Shredder armor and helmet, "Hun wake up!" Naruto shouted and they all finally woke up in shock.
"Master, what's going on?" Hun asked.
"It's Lady Tsunade, she's gone to Orochimaru." Shizune explained frantically.
"Orochimaru?" Hun gasped along with the Foot Ninja.
"We better hurry." One of the Foot members suggested.
"What about you Master Shredder?" another asked Naruto.
"Never better, my strength is back after a nights rest." Naruto replied.
"Come one we haven't got any time to lose." Jiraiya said as they all headed out.
Meanwhile out in an open field far from the town, was Tsunade and Kabuto going head to head with each other, while Orochimaru watched from the side. Both Tsunade and Kabuto used their medical ninjutsu against each other. While Tsunade was healing herself, Kabuto charged, "I'm gonna spill your blood!" he threatened until a poof of smoke filled the area around them. When it clears there stood Jiraiya, Naruto, Shizune, Hun, and the Foot ninja.
Orochimaru looks to Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, It's been such a long time old friend."
Jiraiya frowned before turning into a sarcastic smile, "Yeah and I can't say the years have been kind to you."
Orochimaru just snickered at his teammate's wisecracks until Naruto looked in front and finally saw Kabuto, "Kabuto!" he called.
The Medic ninja looked to the blonde and smirked, "Naruto."
"Naruto you've met this guy?" Jiraiya asked curiously.
"Yeah we took the Chunin Exams," Naruto replied knowing something's up, "Why're you here?"
Hun realized it was Kabuto, "You!"
"Well Hun, it's been a long time." Kabuto smirked.
"You know him to, Hun?" Naruto asked Hun.
"Yes. Kabuto Yakushi was a medic who assisted my clan years ago as our doctor until we discovered he was stealing some of our medical documents." Hun explained.
Tsunade pushed Jiraiya out of the way and continues her onslaught with Kabuto. Things were going smoothly for Tsunade until Kabuto's used his kunai to stab at her shoulder causing her blood to splatter around and even on her. Tsunade was quivering with fear seeing the blood on herself, "Blood." She shivered.
"Hemophobia?" Hun gasped.
Kabuto taking advantage of her traumatized state, slugged Tsunade sending her flying into Shizune's arms, "Tsunade-sama!" Shizune cried.
Naruto finally noticed the Oto headband on Kabuto, "Kabuto! You're with Orochimaru? How? Why? After you gave us those inside hints about the Chunin Exams, helped us through the second part, what was it all for?!" he asked the traitor.
Kabuto smirked, "It was all essential to complete my mission to gather information on all of you." He answered.
Naruto frowned beneath his helmet, "You worm! I trusted you, believed in you, offered you a spot in the Foot Clan!"
"If it's any consolation Naruto, I actually did take your offer into consideration," Kabuto started, "But then I've decided that Orochimaru's a much better leader then you could ever be."
Naruto frowned some more as he drew the sword of Tengu, "Your head shall be my trophy traitor!"
Jiraiya called, "Naruto leave Orochimaru to me, the rest of you handle Kabuto."
Orochimaru and Jiraiya started going at it with move after move. Naruto turned to Hun and the Foot Ninja, "Attack!" he ordered. The Foot ninja drew whatever weapons they had, from swords, double-blades, axes, spears, tridents, and bo-staffs, and went at it with Kabuto who was defending himself from all of them. Soon the Foot clan started wearing Kabuto down.
'These guys are more dangerous than I thought.' Kabuto thought until Naruto charged at him and the two went at it.
"It's a shame you didn't take my offer Kabuto, you could've been one of us." Naruto said
.
"True, Naruto, but Orochimaru is more of an effective leader." Kabuto smirked.
Naruto continued attacking, "Soon you won't have a leader at all!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed the sword of Tengu and started firing shockwaves at Kabuto who was using his speed to dodge.
'He's faster than he led on.' Naruto thought as he continued firing attacks.
Kabuto was ready to strike until Hun formed hand signs and launched the fireball jutsu right at Kabuto who dodged, but ended up getting some burns on his arms. Hun then quickly charged delivering a punch to Kabuto's gut sending him flying into a boulder,
"That knocked some sense into him." Hun smirked.
"Come on let's check on Shizune and Tsunade," Naruto orders as they headed over back to them. Kabuto watched them hurry back and managed to get back onto his feet to follow them, "How's she doing?" Naruto asked.
"Well she's still shaken up." Shizune says as she dries the blood off her.
Kabuto rushed for them "You'll be sorry for challenging me!" he screamed.
"Look out!" Naruto summoned some Kage Bunshins that fought Kabuto, keeping him away from Tsunade.
Tsunade looked up wearily as she saw Naruto protecting her from Kabuto, 'He is…' she thought.
"Sorry 'Shredder'," Kabuto mocked him, "But you're nothing compared to me!" he kicked Naruto back.
"Master!" Hun called in worry.
Naruto got up, "All right, now it's time I show you exactly not to underestimate me! I hope you're watching Baa-san, because the bet is mine!" he summoned a sing clone that started molding chakra into his palm. Tsunade watched seeing how the clone was handling the molding while the real one held it. Naruto then charged Kabuto with his jutsu ready. Kabuto who was still shaken up wasn't able to move fast as Naruto was closing in on him, "Your doom is now, Rasengan!" he screamed shoving it into Kabuto's chest, and the medic was sent hurdling backwards until he crashed into a boulder.
The Foot ninja and Hun cheered, while Jiraiya and Orochimaru who were going at it saw what happened. 'Well Minato, he finally did it.' Jiraiya thought with a smile.
Tsunade got up and approached Naruto smiling, "Well kid you won the bet. And as agreed this belongs to you." She removed the necklace and placed it around Naruto.
"Thank you baa-san. I'll wear it with honor just as Nawaki and Dan." Naruto promised her.
"Hold it!" Kabuto called as he got back up surprising them, "I'm not finished with you."
Tsunade smirked and looked back at Naruto, "I'll take it from here."
"It's all yours." Naruto replied as he, Shizune, and the others stepped back while Jiraiya landed at his teammate's side while Orochimaru returned to Kabuto.
"Good to see you've finally come out of it, Tsunade." Jiraiya joked.
"Kabuto, we have to do it now." Orochimaru removed the bandages on his left arm.
"Tsunade let's do it!" Jiraiya called gathering some of his blood.
"Hai!" Tsunade agreed wiping her own blood.
Kabuto took Orochimaru's blood trailing it down his summoning tattoo and did the hand signs. Jiraiya and Tsunade did the same and they shouted while slamming their palms to the ground, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
In three large poofs there popped three large creatures, one being Gamabunta, the second being a purple snake named Manda, and a white and blue slug named Katsuyu, "Well isn't this quite the reunion? Manda, Orochimaru, Katsuyu, and Tsunade. I never thought I'd live to see the day we'd all meet in battle again." Bunta joked.
"No time for your jokes here, Bunta." Jiraiya replied.
The purple snake glared up at who summoned him, "You have a lot of nerve summoning me Orochimaru, when you know how I hate being dragged into others business."
"Please be patient, Lord Manda," Kabuto pleaded, "We intend to hold our end of our bargain with a hundred human sacrifices for you."
"You better, or I'll feat on you instead." Manda hissed frightening Kabuto.
Down on the ground, Naruto, Hun, and the Foot ninja were gathering together. Hun watched knowing the two can't fight Orochimaru and Manda alone, "Master Shredder, allow me to assist them."
"What can you do, Hun?" Naruto asked.
Hun smirks, "I'm going to bring out my old friend." He drew blood and trailed it down his purple dragon tattoo on his arm and formed hand signs while rushing forward. He jumped up and before he landed slammed his palm to the ground, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" he called.
In a large poof of smoke, standing before the three Sannin and their boss summons was a giant wingless purple dragon with a green underbelly belly, lime green spikes going down its spine, red eyes, sharp claws, teeth, and toe nails. Hun stood a top the dragon's head smirking, "Behold the Purple Dragon, Dragonus!" he called and the dragon let out a roar.
Shizune, Naruto, and the Foot ninja watched and realized they needed to go someplace safe so they hid behind a boulder. Dragonus the dragon summoning looked at the three other chief summonings, "So Gamabunta and Jiraiya, Katsuyu and Tsunade, Manda and Orochimaru, the three Legendary Sannin together. This is a treat," The dragon spoke, "Well Hun I feel disappointed for not being summoned in awhile, but this makes it up to me."
"Glad to hear old friend, so why don't we show these old timers how to really fight?" Hun suggested.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." Dragonus acknowledged his summoner's words.
And so the battle between the summoned began with Katsuyu using acid against Manda, who dodged and tried to squeeze her. Katsuyu however dissolved into multiple little slugs and reformed herself free from his grip. Dragonus dropped before Manda and called, "Chew on this Serpent!" he blew blasts of fire from his mouth at the snake.
Orochimaru and Kabuto ran down Manda's body to avoid the flames blown into his face. Manda shook it off, "I'll go for you then!" he launched his mouth forward but quickly turned to the side avoiding Bunta and his dagger. Dragonus delivered a kick to Manda's head, while the snake uses his tail to slam down on Bunta. Luckily the Boss toad manages to back flip and gained some distance from the serpent, but ended up tossing his dagger aside.
"That was close." Bunta said.
"I know," Jiraiya says, "Hun, Dragonus over here!" Dragonus went to Bunta's side, "Tsunade Katsuyu get back!" he calls and the slug stayed put, "Give us some oil, Bunta!" Jiraiya called forming hand signs.
"Hai!" Bunta's mouth started bloating.
'Ah, so that's the plan.' Dragonus and Hun thought.
Suddenly Bunta started spitting a stream of oil, while Jiraiya, Hun, and Dragonus fired their own flames at the oil which combined resulted in a massive fire blast at Manda.
"Incredible!" Naruto gasped.
"That's the beauty of the boss dragon Dragonus, master Shredder." A Foot ninja said.
Jiraiya, Bunta, Hun and Shendu looked into the flames and saw Manda was melting, "That got him." Hun pumped a fist.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Jiraiya replied as they saw it was merely dead serpent skin, left behind when Manda shedded.
"Darn it!" Dragonus cursed.
"Where is he now?" Hun looked around.
"Below us!" Jiraiya called as Manda popped out of the ground attempting to attack.
"Dragonus!" Tsunade called. The dragon summoning looked and saw Tsunade holding up Bunta's dagger like it was nothing, and due to her large excessive strength she could carry it, "Catch!" She shouted throwing the dagger to Shendu who caught it and jabbed it through Manda's mouth as the blade pierced through the roof of his mouth and through his brain.
Manda screeched in pain from the attack and was starting to lose focus, "We have to go!" Kabuto shouted as he and Orochimaru jumped off Manda who fell to the ground dead and poofed away.
"Orochimaru!" Tsunade shouted as she lunged for him and delivered a powerful punch to his face as he flew across the ground and crashed with Kabuto going to him.
Orochimaru struggled to his feet, "It looks like my plan to have Tsunade heal my arms was all for not!" Orochimaru lifted his head up revealing the left side of his face was torn up around the eye revealing Orochimaru's face was a mask. This got shocked faces from everyone.
"My God." Hun gasped.
"When I have my arms back you'll all suffer!" Orochimaru hissed before sinking into the ground and Kabuto poofed away.
Bunta and Katsuyu saw everything was ok now and the poof away. Dragonus looked down and smiled, "My work here is done for now."
"Arigato, Dragonus for your help." Naruto bowed his head.
"Anytime Shredder and Hun I hope next time the fight you summon me to will be better than before." The dragon said before vanishing.
Everyone was sighing in relief for finally being able to catch their breath until Tsunade gasped, "My strength!"
"Tsunade-sama." Shizune gasped as Tsunade started getting older.
"Don't worry once I've rested my younger form will return. And once we're all healed we'll head home." Tsunade explained.
"Tsunade." Jiraiya gasped hoping she'd really be all right.
Tsunade chuckled, "Sorry Jiraiya, but there's a new identity you'll have to start addressing me by.
"Then that means?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. I will become the Godaime Hokage." Tsunade answered as Shizune and Hun gasped until smiling.
Hours later after they were all rested and healed up, Naruto and Tsunade stood on opposite sides in the street of town like before, "While I have accepted you as Hokage, I still want to pay you back for the head injury a week ago!"
"If you insist kid," Tsunade sighed, "Because I still only need to use one finger."
"Careful with what you say woman, or I might reconsider the offer I'm planning on giving you." Naruto smirked.
"An offer?" Tsunade cocks her eyebrow curiously.
Naruto smirked knowing she's interested, "That's right, by using a tad portion of my family's savings I can pay off all of your gambling debts."
Jiraiya and Hun smiled, Shizune was amazed, and Tsunade herself was shocked at his offering, "You would do that, for me?" she asked almost shedding a tear.
Naruto smiled, "I feel like you're family now since Ero-sennin is my Godfather," He added which made her smile. "But…" Naruto began as he went at her, "That doesn't mean I'm going to go easy on you for now, because when I start my armada of Foot ninja we shall relocate close to Konoha and be the leader of my own land as the one true Shredder!"
And like before when he comes up to her throwing a punch, Tsunade ducked, flicked the helmet off Naruto's head, and put her fingers to his forehead in a flinging position, 'Not again!' Naruto thought and he closed his eyes awaiting the impact. Suddenly he gasped and opened his eyes. Instead of flicking him on the forehead, he saw Tsunade gripping his chin while kissing his forehead. Jiraiya, Shizune, Hun and the Foot ninja were shocked, amazed, and glad to see that Tsunade wasn't going to clobber him.
After her kiss, Naruto was wide eyed and surprised. Tsunade caught his helmet and placed it back on his head. She smiled at him while blushing, "I know you'll grow into a great man one day," She thought, 'And a fine leader as well.'
Everyone smiled knowing alls well now, "Well come on everyone let's go home." Jiraiya says.
Soon they were tracking their way back to Konoha while Naruto was walking behind them feeling proud of himself, while Hun was walking by Shizune, "Say uh Shizune, when we get back to Konoha would you be interested in going out with me sometime if our masters allow it?" Hun asked a tad nervous.
Shizune raises an eyebrow, "Your treat?"
"Of course." Hun replied.
Shizune smiled, "Name the date, Hun-kun."
Hun blushes and smiled, "Yes!" he cheered. Tsunade looked back seeing Naruto while seeing the spirits of her loved ones live on inside him now, and know this time their dreams will never die.
(And that's the chapter.)
