IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE

Okay, so I've gotten some comments for the whole 'Kakashi's father is an Inuzuka' thing. I explained in the first chapter that Kakashi was not Sakumo's son in this universe. Hatake Sakumo is an important historical figure because failing his mission indirectly led to the start of the Second Shinobi War. I did not want to destroy that just to make Kakashi younger. As he would have been too young to have his father kill himself at the time he did. So, Kakashi is the son of Sakumo's sister Hatake Kiku an OFC, and he had a cousin who was the son of Sakumo and who was also Minato's student.

In this universe KAKASHI IS NOT SAKUMO'S SON. KAKASHI IS HIS NEPHEW.

END AUTHOR'S NOTE

Chapter 6

3rd Person Pov

Tsunade could never remember being this nervous in her life.

She was meeting her grandchild for the very first time. A grandchild that wasn't an infant, or a toddler, no this child was a girl about to enter womanhood. A young woman that already had a fiance and was considered an adult. A thirteen year old girl who could hate her for not being there for her. She was the daughter of a man she knew, not as her son, but as her former teammate's student. Hell, she didn't even know if the girl even knew they were related.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the Compound. The man that greeted her was a child the last time she had seen him. He was only 6 and already a new chunnin. He still had the same pale skin, silvery gravity defying hair, and his dark grey mask covering his features. However, now one of his eyes was hidden by his headband, and he was towering 6 inches taller than her with the broad shoulders of a man.

"Tsunade-sama, please come in. Naruto is finishing up breakfast." His voice was deeper than the serious soprano he had as a child.

"Thank you Kakashi." She follows the man back into the house. They eventually end up at a small dining room with a four person table that had one chair occupied.

Naruto was a young girl with obnoxiously bright blonde hair that almost reached her knees. She was tan with dark whisker marks across her cheeks, and was wearing a red dress that was surprisingly reminiscent of her grandmother's battle kimono. It was only missing the blood red armor that was always in the glass display case. She was reluctantly eating vegetables grumbling to herself.

"Naruto," the girl looks up with Minato's blue eyes, "this is Senju Tsunade."

"Ohayo Tsunade-sama, I apologize for the scene." She seems extremely awkward obviously being more at home in a casual setting. She's standing up fidgeting a little.

"That's fine Naruto, I'm the one who interrupted your breakfast." The girl relaxes a little. "However, I think we should talk before anything else happens."

"Okay, what are we going to talk about?" The girl definitely doesn't know that she's her granddaughter.

"Well first let's all sit down." Naruto sits down directly across from Tsunade with Kakashi between the two blondes. "It concerns something I learned yesterday."

"What's that Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi is all business.

"Well, it seems I'm Naruto's grandmother on her father's side." The one dark eye of Kakashi's widens and the blonde girl looks completely shocked and confused.

"B-but how?!" Her outburst almost made Tsunade flinch.

"During the Second Shinobi War I had gotten pregnant with my lover Dan's child, but we both agreed that it was too dangerous for anyone to know. I was a Senju, and the granddaughter of Hashirama, the boy would be killed or coveted. So we hid him in an orphanage disguised as two regular civilians. He was a little boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. Not long after that I lost Dan on a mission and it only hardened my resolve to keep away from my child to keep him safe. Towards the end of the war I heard that the orphanage had been caught in the crossfire of a shinobi battle. One of the children that was dead was a little boy with blonde hair. I wish I would have looked but in my grief and I just accepted that every member of my family had been taken from me." Tsunade feels guilt and shame bubble up like a cauldron in her stomach.

"But hindsight-"

"Is the worst psychic power of all." Tsunade finishes for Kakashi.

"So you're… you're my grandmother." The girl asks in a whisper almost as if she's afraid it's a lie or a dream.

"Yes, I'm your grandmother. Hello my little magomusume, my name is Tsunade. I'm your baa-chan." The girl vaults over the table and wraps around Tsunade like an octopus.

"It's really nice to finally meet you baa-chan." The girl chokes out between bitten back tears.

"It's really nice to meet you magomusume. I never thought I would ever get to see you." The bear hug only gets tighter as the three people are left in silence. "However, there are several things we have to worry about. First thing you cannot tell anyone that I'm your grandmother. Until you can protect yourself from physical and political attacks that information is too dangerous to get out. The council has already tried to make you a broodmare for one dying clan, they might force you to do the same for the Uchiha boy, and anyone else they have."

Tsunade has to keep herself from imagining what they would do to this girl if they knew. It would only give her nightmares. She had some political protection but Naruto did not have Tsunade's political knowhow, at least not yet. She would have to coach Kakashi as well because the boy was intelligent and could come up with good strategies on the battlefield but politics was a different ball game.

"There is no way I will marry the bastard." Tsunade didn't point out that she probably wouldn't have to marry the Uchiha boy, just have his children.

"Good spirit, now let's talk about your training-"

"Tsunade-sama I believe Naruto's training has been severely neglected at best and actively sabotaged in all actuality. Naruto was not taught how to read by anyone other than herself, her taijutsu kata looked like horrible versions of the academy ones, probably 'special' ones designed to get her killed quicker. On top of that, her growth has probably been stunted due to the fact that the only thing she can afford to eat is ramen."

"Oi! Ramen is the food of the gods!"

"And probably the reason why you haven't reached five feet (152 cm) yet." The girl was probably only four foot eleven. (149.86 cm)

"Shut up!" The blonde glared at her pale haired fiance.

"Quiet! So you Naruto have had a lot, if all, of your growth stunted, and your education sabotaged. Unfortunately we don't know the extent of it. So I'm going to evaluate your health first. You seem healthy but you never know what could have happened to your heart eating such a greasy food. Kakashi I need you to find me a scale, and then I'm going to give Naruto a physical in her room. You are obviously not permitted to enter."

"Yes Tsunade-sama." Kakashi agrees getting up and disappearing farther into the house.

Naruto led her towards her room chatting with Tsunade all the way there. Tsunade was surprised by the condition of the Uzumaki Compound but then again maybe she shouldn't have. Her grandmother's people were seal masters after all. Once they got into Naruto's room Tsunade decided to ask a routine question.

"So Naruto have you had a physical before?"

"Not since I was little. I didn't like the doctors at the hospital and they didn't really like me. Toira-san had been my doctor but after he died there weren't a lot of doctors that liked me because of the Kyuubi thing." Tsunade's inner thought process had a spike of violent thoughts.

"Okay do you have anything that is like a thin dress?"

"Oh yeah, Ino got me something like that when we went out and got stuff for me."

"Good, put it on. It will make sure I get the right readings on your weight."

"Okay, but can you turn away?" Tsunade gave the girl a bit of a brow but allowed the girl her privacy. She heard a knock and guessed that it was Kakashi with the scale.

She opened the door a little but not enough for him to see and quickly grabbed the scale from the man closing the door. She had Naruto stand on the scale noting that she was probably a little heavier due to just eating but she was still a little underweight. She was also four foot eleven which seemed to irk the girl to no end.

"Ugh, am I ever going to grow?" The blonde groused.

"Alright can you lay down. I'm going to do a routine scan." The blonde girl lays down on the bed.

Tsunade then started her cursory scan on the girl. She discovered lots of old broken bones that had been healed and an immunity to a variety poisons. She was lacking a lot of nutrients, but that could easily be corrected.

"Well you are in pretty good health. You are lacking a lot of needed nutrients for you to grow, but otherwise you are healthy."

"So what does that have to do with my training?"

"Well it means I have a better plan for you. I have to get you started on a diet-"

"I don't want to not eat!"

"Naruto a diet is what you eat. What sort of diets have you seen?"

"Well a lot of the girls in the Academy went on diets. They didn't really eat anything except for salads because they wanted to keep their figures."

"Those idiots, ninja need to eat a lot of food to support our active lifestyle. Civilian women need those sorts of diets because they aren't doing the level of physical activity, if any, that we are. However, it's harmful for growing girls and ninja to eat like that." Tsunade was wondering what the hell the Academy was teaching these days.

"Oh so I do get to eat?" The blonde looks hopeful.

"Yes, and you need to eat a lot. Your metabolism is extremely fast but you need to eat more meat and vegetables along with carbohydrates and sugars. You don't need to worry about keeping your figure." Tsunade lectured.

"Okay baa-chan."

"Alright, so let's get you changed and start training."

"YATTA!" The blonde basically bounced around in excitement.

A Few Days Later

Tsunade walked into Konoha's General Hospital trying to keep her anger under control. She had been waiting for this moment. She had seen her magomusume's records and the she found the standard of care lacking. As soon as she was noticed by the nurses the hospital staff they were falling over themselves. The nurses looked seconds away from trying to get her autograph and the patients immediately perked up as well.

"Please call a meeting. I want every doctor that is not needed which means not doing the rounds and in surgery in the auditorium in 15 minutes." The blonde woman demanded of a young star struck nurse.

"Of course Tsunade-sama! I'll do that right away!" The young brunette rushes off to do Tsunade's bidding.

All of them were probably expecting the announcement that she was taking over the hospital. While that was a true fact and it would be announced she was also going to scold everyone who had failed her granddaughter while treating her. The dark part of Tsunade was licking it's lips in anticipation of the chaos she was about to reap. The Slug Princess's emotional control was straining under the weight of her dark side.

The auditorium wasn't as big it could be considered small. However, it's purpose was for emergencies and the people in charge would be the only ones in here. Fifteen doctors entered the room excitedly chatting with a plethora of nurses following behind. One doctor an old man Toranku Kanui came up to Tsunade. It seemed that he was the one in charge of the hospitals now. He was ancient by ninja standards rapidly approaching his seventies, and Tsunade felt bad for the old man just a little. He knew that Tsunade was supposed to take over but not her second announcement. They chatted until everyone was quieted down. Tsunade had to hide her evil smirk as she took the stage in front of the staff.

"First, as you have probably all guessed from my presence I have been appointed the head of Konoha's Medical Corps, and will be running this hospital." There was excited whispering and clapping. "The council has also approved expanding our recruitment methods. So some of you will begin teaching classes at the Academy so that we can get our numbers up." There is more excitement and a lot of clapping at least until Tsunade's mood changes. "However, something has come to my attention, something I find downright disturbing."

"What is that Tsunade-sama?" Kanui asks obviously worried.

"Well according to some records I went through recently, there has been bordering on criminal negligence of someone from my cousin clan: Uzumaki Naruto." There is stunned silence and she sees many in the audience pale until one stupidly brave nurse stands up and shouts.

"YOU MEAN THE DEM-!"

"I dare you to finish that sentence." Tsunade is focusing her killing intent on the nurse which causes the entire staff to cower. "My grandmother was both an Uzumaki and a jinchuriki of the Kyuubi. If you think that girl is a demon then obviously there is no difference between her and Shodiame's wife!"

"C-cou-cousin cl-clan?" One horrified doctor stuttered.

"Yes, the Uzumaki clan were close cousins and allies of the Senju clan. Naruto's great grandfather was Mito's older brother, and the Ruler of Uzushiogakure which makes Naruto royalty as well. In fact one of the reasons this village stands here today is because the Uzumaki's gave the Senju a loan as part of Mito's dowry." Everyone is looking like they are questioning their existence at this point. "Now, unfortunately we don't have enough of you at the moment to justify me firing all of you considering I would probably have to get rid of most of the staff. So, you will begin training the students at the Academy starting next week, and if I find any of you to be sabotaging these children I will personally haul you to Ibiki. Does everyone understand?" The staff members in front of her all nod their heads furiously. "Good, now get back to work. We have lives to save after all."

Tsunade's voice had been sickly sweet towards the end. The hospital staff quickly scattered to do their jobs and gossip.
