Kale's POV
"What?!" Naruto yelled "What do you mean?! We came here to ask her for help heal Sasuke and Kakashi-Sensei not to become Hokage, and have her say no!"
"Don't worry." Jiraiya said "This lady is the only person who can become the Fifth Hokage."
"She uses Techniques no other ninja can, the granddaughter of the First Hokage there is no one else more fitting of the position." Uncle explained.
She's a descendent of the first?
"Now if she becomes Hokage she'd have to go back to the village and fix up those two like you wanted." Jiraiya explained to Naruto "Besides this decision was made by the higher ups in the Leaf, you don't really have a choice in the matter."
"I can't really find a downside with his argument." I shrugged.
"GRMG…" Naruto grumbled.
"This kids worse than the last apprentice you took?" Tsunade sighed "In speech, looks and intelligence."
"What does that mean?!" Naruto yelled.
"She insulted you idiot." I sighed.
"Well it's hard to compare anyone to the Fourth." Master Jiraiya mentioned "He had the talent and drive to be the best, he was handsome like me too."
"And even he died quickly." Tsunade commented "He gave his life for the village."
"Everyone dies someday." Uncle shrugged "That's just the fate of life itself."
"You can't wager life like money." Tsunade said "Anyone who puts theirs at risk is a fool."
I can't read this woman for the life of me…I can tell she's holding something in but her attitude and opinion seem so contradictory.
"My grandfather and the Second focused too much on peace and as a result died in the middle of achieving their dreams, they died like losers." Tsunade said.
"You've changed, spilling all that." Jiraiya commented.
"Well I am in my 50s, people do change." The woman shrugged.
"Not that much." Uncle sighed under his breath.
"The same thing happened to the third, he died because he was too old to live his dream." Tsunade said "Being Hokage, only a fool would do it."
"RAH!" Naruto got up and tried to jump across the table.
She pissed him off.
"Chain Bind!"
Uncle's staff shot out ethereal chains and tied up Naruto "Don't make such a mess."
"Let me go, I won't forgive people who badmouth the Hokage!" Naruto yelled.
"I agree but making a scene isn't the way." I sighed.
"I don't care who she is, I'll kick her butt!"
"You've got some balls kid." Tsunade said standing up and staring Naruto down "You wanna take this outside?"
"I here I thought Naruto was the only immature child here." I sighed.
As requested by Tsunade we all took it outside where uncle let Naruto free of his binds.
"I'm one of the legendary ninjas so I'll go easy on you." Tsunade said "One finger should suffice."
"Shut up!" Naruto yelled taking out a Kunai "Don't underestimate me."
"He doesn't stand a chance right?" I asked.
"Oh no he's gonna get his butt whipped." Uncle nodded.
In one fluid motion Tsunade caught Naruto's kunai on her finger, poked him under the chin and flicked him in the forehead. The flick was so powerful Naruto was sent flying backwards.
She did that much when she was trying to hold back.
"Hey kid, real quick before you pass out." Tsunade said "Why did you get so bent out of shape about the word Hokage?"
"Because." Naruto said "I really do want to be Hokage someday, and I will because it's my dream!"
Naruto stood up shakily and clenched his hand.
What's this sensation…?
"HRAAA!" Naruto dashed forward, some sort of ball between his hands.
"Incredible…in such a short time." Uncle hummed.
Tsunade quickly slammed her finger into the ground, splitting the earth with a massive crack and knocking Naruto off balance.
All that from just one finger…how strong is this lady?
Naruto's attack hit the ground and blew out a small crater that he fell in.
Man I would have liked to see what that did.
"Are you okay?" Shizune asked helping Naruto up.
"Jiraiya!" Tsunade yelled "Are you the one teaching him the Rasengan?"
"I am teaching him the principles." Jiraiya shrugged.
"The only ones who can use that Jutsu are you and the 4th." Tsunade said.
A Jutsu that's not blood related but only two people can use…incredible.
"Trying to teach him something he can't learn and thinking you're his master, you shouldn't let him think that way." Tsunade scolded "This is why he has foolish dreams like wanting to be Hokage."
"His dreams not foolish." I told her "Someday, Naruto will be Hokage, if you had asked me that a few months ago I would have laughed at you, but I've seen it up close, he will be Hokage one day."
"Three days!" Naruto yelled "I can master it in three days!"
"Men don't go back on their words." Tsunade told Naruto.
"I never go back on my words anyway." Naruto smirked "Cause that's my ninja way."
"Well then…" Tsunade smirked back "I'll give you one week, if you can master that Jutsu in one week I will acknowledge that you can be Hokage and I'll even give you this necklace I have on."
"Free jewelry." I shrugged.
"I don't want some ugly necklace." Naruto said sticking his tongue out.
"I can get you not wanting the necklace but there was no reason to call it ugly." I sighed.
"I wouldn't talk bad about it." Uncle told us "That necklace is special, it has a unique ore that belonged only to the First Hokage, it's priceless."
"Fine then…" Naruto grumbled.
"And if you can't do it in one week all your money is mine." Tsunade said tossing Naruto's wallet around.
"My Froggy Wallet!"
"We're going drinking." Jiraiya told Tsunade and Uncle "Shizune you and the boys head back and find a hotel."
"Okay…" the dark haired woman bowed.
We followed Shizune through the town until she found a place she thought the price was good at. Naruto and I were given one room, Uncle and Mister Jiraiya had a room and Tsunade and Shizune had the other.
"Hmmm…" I said meditating in the corner "So it's about rotation and power…tricky."
Naruto had filled me in on the basics of his Rasengan and was looking for help.
Each of those requires immense focus and let's face it Naruto can barely walk and chew gum at the same time…
"I've only got one week!" Naruto groaned.
"Relax we'll figure something out." I told him.
"Excuse me." Shizune leaned her head in "I'm sorry for coming in later but there's something I wanted to talk to you guys about."
"I was gonna go sleep because I have to train tomorrow." Naruto sighed.
"Be quiet you'll sleep later." I told him "Go ahead Ma'am."
"Just call me Shizune." She sighed "I'm too young to be called Ma'am. Now then, I don't want you to misunderstand Miss Tsunade, that necklace-."
"Who cares about the old hag!" Naruto groaned.
"Shut up and don't interrupt!" I snapped smacking his head.
"She's not like what you think!" Shizune begged "Please don't talk as if you know her!"
She quickly took a breath "I'm sorry for yelling…In the past Lady Tsunade loved the village, but she changed after that…"
"That?" I asked.
"When her dreams, love and hope were all shattered in the blink of an eye." Shizune sighed "And the necklace, it's very important to her, it's not something she'd wager so easily."
"How was I supposed to know that?" Naruto defending himself "She's the one who put it up."
"That necklace is cursed!" Shizune yelled "It won't let anyone but Tsunade wear it, anybody else who puts it on…dies. The other two people to wear that necklace, Tsunade gave it to them and before long they were killed…it's not something you should accept so lightly. That necklace killed Lady Tsunade's brother, and it killed her Lover, my uncle Dan. Please understand that she'd been struggling since then."
"Hyup." Naruto stood up and stretched before walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Shizune asked.
"To train." He smirked walking out the door.
"Well." I sighed "I better go after him and make sure he doesn't get lost."
"It's late you two shouldn't-."
"We'll be fine." I said closing my door.
I followed Naruto at a distance, this was his training I was just tagging along to keep myself occupied.
"OUF!"
"I'm sorry!" I said looking down and seeing I had knocked a girl over.
"It's fine." She smiled as I help her up
This girl had short green hair, stunning golden eyes, was wearing a tan colored top and skirt, under the skirt were black skin tight shorts, her face was cute and her skin had a beautiful tan to it. If I had to guess she was probably close to my age. At first I thought she may have been a boy but the softness of her hands assured me she was a girl.
"Sorry again." I said as she stood up.
"I told you its fine." She giggled "Just watch where you're going next time yeah?"
"I gotta get going, nice to meet you…" I laughed "Umm?"
"Fu!" she cheered shaking my hands "And it's super great to meet you too…"
"Kale."
"Cool name, well I gotta go." She said adjusting her backpack "Hope to see you again, but without bumping into each other okay."
"Sounds good." I laughed as she ran off.
What an interesting girl.
I quickly turned around and got back to following Naruto out of town.
