Piccolo and Kakashi appeared in the familiar metal warehouse in their usual ways - teleportation and white smoke, respectively. The Namekian, Piccolo, was forced to wait several minutes before beginning the recording session as Kakashi was the type of person to always arrive late, which continually got on Piccolo's nerves. Despite the wait, Piccolo remained calm as he and his partner from another series began the show's new episode.

"Hello. I am Piccolo, and this is Kakashi," Piccolo introduced. "This is Piccolo and Kakashi on Theories, where we discuss theories pertaining to any series, be it manga, video games, or even TV shows."

"Do remember you can suggest any theory for our show. It can be from any series you want, though if you could provide some basic information, that would be much appreciated," Kakashi Hatake added. "We have no mail to answer to, so we'll get right into it."

The ninja held up a colourless sign with the words: "Episode 4: Tsunade and Naruto relations?" and put it down after a second or so.

"I felt bad by taking the last episode and plastering it with my series, so I allowed Kakashi to take Episode 4," the Namekian explained. "I was expecting a What-If, but surprisingly, Kakashi here had a full-blown theory ready."

"Yeah..." Kakashi chuckled slightly, delighted with his friend's words. "This was something I discovered when I was in the Konoha Library. Tsunade and Naruto are actually related! This one's not much of a theory as it is fact, but it's interesting nonetheless."

Kakashi cleared his throat and began talking:

"So, everyone knows that Naruto belongs to the Uzumaki Clan, just as Sasuke is a part of the Uchiha Clan and Hinata is a part of the Hyuga Clan. The Uzumaki Clan's origins are from the Asura Otsutsuki, who were originated from the Senju Clan. Uzumaki were actually descendants of the Asura Otsutsuki, making the Uzumaki and Senju distant blood relatives. One of the more famous members of the Senju Clan has to be Hashirama Senju, who founded Konohagakure along with Madara Uchiha. I'm sure most of you know that Hashirama has a grandaughter, and that is Tsunade," he explained.

Piccolo seemed impressed, though slightly disappoined.

"That yellow-haired punk and the Fourth Hokage really are related? I guess that explains how he-" Piccolo commented, before being interrupted.

"-Spoilers! There are those who don't read the manga, don't ruin it for them!" interjected Kakashi. He then turned to the camera and began to speak to the audience. "That appears to be it for Episode 4. Sorry this episode was so short, we'll promise the next one will be a bit longer! Anyway, see you all next time!"

The camera panned away and the credits rolled, ending the episode.


Author Notes: There may not be another episode of this for a while, because I want to revive an 'old' fic that I haven't updated for a while before I get another Piccolo and Kakashi out. Until then, I hope this ties you over. Ciao!

(sorry if you knew this already and was disappointed with the chapter)
