Chapter 3: Position
Konoha Hospital a week after the attack
Kushina Uzumaki a former Konohagakure kunoichi who originated from Uzushiogakure's Uzumaki clan. She was the second jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails after one of her great-grandmother Mito Uzumaki passed on. Kushina is a woman who was well known for her beauty. She has a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, and the common Uzumaki red hair. It reached her waist with shoulder-length strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left. Generally, she wore a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress with a wristband on her left wrist and standard shinobi sandals. However, this time she was in the hospital with a hospital gown on as well as a crib very close to her side.
Though a bundle of blankets in her arms made a fuss, her little baby boy Naruto named after one of the characters in her late husband Sensei book. She smiled gingerly at the small child caressing his cheek cooing him to calm him, however the smile died when a knock from the door is heard. Now, normally patients wouldn't mind seeing the doctor or nurse coming in to check up on things or vitals of the said patient yet in this case Kushina made sure that only Tsunade attended her. Why? Well, let's just say the last nurse who tried to kill her son had to be put in a full body cast nearly beaten to death.
You see while still an academy student, Kushina proved to be a strong and fierce barehanded fighter, being able to beat several kids even a genin half to death for teasing her color hair, thus earning her the nickname "Red Hot-Blooded Habanero". Which I can safely add is a flee on sight if any enemy shinobi dare face her.
As the door opened she relaxed to see one of the Legendary Sanin; Tsunade Senju famed as the world's strongest kunoichi and its greatest medical-nin to date. She heard what happened during the fox attack and though she was reluctant to come back due to repeated loss of her loved ones and blood phobia though she quickly recovered once she overcame it on an operation on a life or death situation it was her distant cousin persuading from her letters that made her came back including a note that said there had been an assassination attempt on her boy's life along with she personally wanted her there to attend her.
Tsunade was traveling with her lover's niece Shizune her attendant and apprentice in training as well the town that they were in was a three-day journey. After that she took charge of the hospital personally handling anyone who dares try to do such a vile attempt again, let's just say they ended in cast armor as well.
"How are you feeling Kushina?" The blonde asked closing the door she entered
"I'd be better if I can walk around instead being bedridden all day for the last seven days but I can't leave Naruto in the care of these incompetent morons!" The redhead huffed in annoyance
"I know how you feel Kushina I really do and if that was my son's life-threatening I would raze those hospitals from top to bottom just to keep him safe but he's not. Besides if these idiots cannot tell the difference between a jinchūriki and a helpless baby than that's their problem, which is why I am here. Though I still don't know how you suckered me into coming back even though I said I would never set foot back here again." The blonde grumbled the last part,
Kushina had a smug smile plastered on her features, "That's why you are known as the legendary sucker, you lost fair and square…now take your punishment like a kunoichi."
"Hmph!" Her features soften as she stretched out her arms, "May I?" Kushina nods handing over baby Naruto to her, she held him in her arms stroking his whiskered cheeks softly, the baby boy snuggled closer to the warmth giving a small coo, he looks exactly like Minato, he'll definitely be a ladies killer when he grows older."
"Yeah…" Her moods drop, she clutches her sheets, 'Minato…' Before she lost consciousness her husband did the seal on his stomach, which confirmed her worst fear, Minato used the Shiki Fūjin sealing half of the fox within him while the other half in their hours old baby's stomach, "Do these people have no faith in Minato sealing? He and I are master sealers and if anything thing they should be thanking…no…better yet bowing down to Naruto; kissing his little feet for being the jailer of that damned fox! Minato wouldn't sacrifice any other children knowing what would happen to them."
"I'm sorry I shouldn't…"
"Don't apologize…" Kushina said, wiping away her tears, "I knew eventually he was going to do it but I guess I still haven't come to terms with it."
"Letting go of your grief is the best medicine I can advise you Kushina." Tsunade places the baby back in his crib then goes to sit next to her wrapping her arms around the younger woman, "Just let it out."
Kushina buries her face in the crook of her neck hugging the older woman tightly as she heaves. She hadn't been to the funeral to mourn for her dead lover; it pained her, as well that now her son was the third host of that damn fox. Tsunade continued to rub her back as a lone tear made it's way down her cheek; she knew what it was like to lose. She lost both her brother and her lover here but she will make the commitment to stay here in the village for the sake of Kushina.
The council room doors opened wide and in came Jiraiya the second Sanin a tall and well-built man with fair skin. He has a wart on the left side of his nose and waist-length; spiky white hair that he usually ties back into a ponytail, with shoulder-length bangs framing his face. There were red lines under his eyes that extended all the way to the bottom of his cheeks. His attire consisted of a green short shirt kimono and matching pants, under which he wore mesh armor that is visible at his wrists and ankles. He also wears hand guards, a black belt, traditional Japanese wooden sandals, and a red haori with two yellow circles on each side. He carries a large scroll on his back and has a tattoo on his left palm, and he wears a horned forehead protector with the kanji for "oil" 油, abura, which denoted his affiliation with Mount Myōboku.
He was not in a good mood ever since he found out that one of his precious former students died using a forbidden jutsu to seal away the fox. In his younger days, his team before they went their separate ways in life consisted of three a Hyūga, an Uchiha and finally the fourth himself now only two of his precious remained. To keep busy he keeps an ear out in his spy network hearing news of traitors or general information that might help out his village however when word got around that Third and Fourth Hokage died during the attack of the Nine-tails with a rumored leviathan he dropped his peeping racing back to Konoha.
Now the elder council wanted a word with him after he made his grand entrance entering through the gates in the late afternoon. 'Wonder what the village advisors want from me this time.'
He saw in the room the three elders of Konoha waiting for him; Homura was the first to speak while motioning for him to take a seat, "We are glad the time that you're taking out of your busy schedule Jiraiya to come to meet with us."
He sat crossing his arms looking indifferent, "Well, it is not every day that you hear that your sensei and former student die, is it now? What this rumor I've been hearing about a 100 or so meter leviathan roaming about?"
"That is a discussion for another day." Danzō said, "We are here to discuss you becoming the Godaime Hokage after your precious student as you know the current state of the village strength dropped drastically."
The white-haired man stroked his chin
"We don't know when neighboring countries will come at us in a bold move or attempt to wipe us off the face of the map…" Koharu said, "Therefore we have decided until the village gets it's strength back we will assemble a few top men from each troop to form an emergency executive committee to oversee the village rebuilding however according to the Yondaime dying request he nominated you to be his replacement. We need a strong, trustworthy leader…"
"Hmm…" Jiraiya held his gaze firmly
"We need a Fifth Hokage right away." Homura continued
"We had an emergency meeting with the feudal lord of the Land of Fire, there were several candidates for the position, however, we settled for you," Koharu said Jiraiya eyes narrowed
"While I am flattered by the notion I'm afraid it's not in my nature to take such a position besides surely the other candidate if…you don't mind asking who was it?"
"That is not your concern." Danzō said coolly, "It has been decided that you take the mantle, besides if you are not willing despite your title as a Sanin then who is?"
"You don't have to have to make a scary face when talking you know." The toad sage unfolded his arms, "I'm pretty sure that if you want a Sanin then I can think of one who is might be able to…"
"The Slug princess…" Danzō's eye widened in anger, "That drunken pathetic woman? She wasn't here to protect the village when it came under attack a few days ago, and she won't protect it now!" He said outraged.
"Your right she wasn't but she's here now aiding in medical field helping our forces get back on their feet, so yes I mean her!" Jiraiya narrowed his eyes at the bandaged, "Besides I'm sure you were on the list as well would it be fair to hand you the title of Hokage without a confirmation that she has denied the opportunity to be the next Hokage."
Both Koharu and Komura glanced at each other, "Hmm…we are certain that she would be a capable one but…"
"Tsunade is wise, she is meant to be Hokage as her predecessors before her even more than I…need I remind you whose granddaughter she is?"
"No we understand, very well we will consider your proposition."
Danzo quickly stood up from his chair and turned his back to the two elders sitting at the desk. His face contorted to one of pure rage, but he wouldn't let his remaining friends see emotion from him. He quietly walked towards the door and opened it. Before exiting the room, he looked backward, "Please inform me of Tsunade's decision as soon as possible." The door slams shut.
"Grouchy old mummy."
Uchiha Meeting place
Coal eyes returned the stare back at similar coal-black eyes; Sasuke couldn't help but look at his father with mild curiosity, the host that took over the body of the said young boy squealed with glee not caring a bit in the world that he was acting childish with outstretch hands towards the Uchiha patriarch.
'24 years old…here I am acting like a baby…oh, wait I am a baby…' He thought, 'Ah well I wonder what kind of man is Fugaku, he seems like a stern man though I never have seen anything else from him.'
Fugaku could feel a headache coming on especially with the news that he was going to tell his fellow clansmen. He sighed heavily rubbing his tired face, why did his wife make such a drastic decision?
Soon voices were heard outside, fellow clansmen arrived in small groups of 3 soon the meeting place became pack with at least 20 people. These were the men who are head of the household; some were discussing what the meeting was going to be about for their leader sounded very concerned about something and his tone was one of fatigue. Some who knew Fugaku knew that he hasn't slept a wink for the last couple of days for some they knew that something had happened the main family yet they didn't know what.
Once everyone was settled he cleared his throat, his gruff voice silencing the chatter, "All right let's get this meeting underway." He began, "As you know I've called this meeting together because something has happened that will change the Uchiha forever." Murmurs swam across the room as the Uchiha Patriarch continued to speak; "As you know a few days ago our Village was attacked by the nine-tails and suddenly as rumors or information that was given to me a second beast made its way to the village fighting the fox in the process."
Many winced; a lot of lives were lost that day all thanks to that abomination, the sting of losing some of their members also hurt the clan. Fugaku spoke once again, "As you know the village lost two of its Hokage both the Third and Fourth. Tensions are high between both the clan and village, so right now I ask that you maintain the peace between comrades." Many nodded, "Now let me cut to the chase, for the first time in Uchiha history we have our first ever Jinchūriki."
The jaw drop was heard as out roar ensured a moment after the revelation, right now the Uchiha's are now worried or flat outraged, they not treated with respect since the First Hokage ever since the Second Hokage took office they been the scorn of the village in the Senju-influenced government for the sole reason that their Sharingan was able to control the Nine-tails so to add a jinchūriki amongst the clan was asking the leaders to isolate them even further.
"Fugaku-sama is it Itachi?" One asked
"How can this have happened no Uchiha was near the fox the night of the attack!" Another exclaimed
"We are already discriminated by the leaders as well as the village this will only cause more rift and segregation between us!"
"To answer your questions in order, Itachi is not the jailor, there was an Uchiha near the fox dour days ago and I know which is why we are going to keep this a secret." He reached into the basket picking up his youngest son he had a small smile when he looked at him yet as quickly as it came it left, he turned the boy around allowing his clansmen to see, "My youngest son Sasuke is the first Uchiha to be the jinchūriki."
'Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba, Sithi uhm ingonyama, Nants ingonyama bagithi baba, Sithi uhhmm ingonyama, Ingonyama, Siyo Nqoba, Ingonyama, Ingonyama nengw' enamabala' Sasuke squealed in delight his little arms and legs flailing, 'This must make me Simba…does that mean Fugaku is…gasp…he must be Mufasa? Bow down before my cuteness!'
The Uchiha gaped at the youngest son of the head family, watching him gurgle and nibble on his own hands squealing in such an innocent manner that the Uchiha's that were there made the decision right there and there.
"As many of you know or don't know Jinchūriki's are not treated as people but scorn of the earth, my son will be treated as the person who is containing the beast and a hero for doing the ultimate sacrifice for all of us though he won't be the only one as well there is another the son of the Fourth Hokage." As much Fugaku despised Minato at times he was still his best friend/rival and he him owed more than his life, "My sons status of being the jailor will not leave this room so don't mention it to anyone else, not even your wives! With tension high as it is we don't need any more burdens then we need, do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, sir…"
The following day in her office Tsunade looks over the medical records while jotting some notes down. She sighs as she takes a plate and chucks to the window behind her, "Go away."
"Aw come hime can't an old friend come by and say hi?" Jiraiya said as he places the plate down with a smile, "You really taken up the mantle of being a true head doctor then again you were always the best when it came to medical-nin."
Tsunade stops writing for a moment before regarding her fellow Sanin, "Whenever you come on your visits it's usually business you pervert or you turning to paste when I catch you peeping. So what do you want? I'm busy…"
Jiraiya loses his smile becoming serious, Tsunade knows whenever her comrade got like this it meant something big was going on or about to happen like the time of the Second Shinobi War, "I had visited the elders the day before and they were asking me about a particular position which I assume you know is open."
"For…get…it…" She hissed
"Tsunade, the village is requesting…no demanding that you become the Godaime Hokage…"
The tension between the two was thick, you could hear a pin drop. Electricity flowed between the two, both unwilling to budge.
"So what's your answer?" He finally asked
Tsunade turned away back to her paper report silence ensued once more then the scribbling of the pen is heard. "I refuse…"
"You said that to me when I tried to ask you out on a date." The white-haired man said with a smirk, "You know being one of the most skilled combatants along with unsurpassed medical skills that you have you would make a great Kage, let's not forget that you are the granddaughter and grandniece of the First and Second Hokage I'm surprised that you would turn down such a position given your background."
"Anyone who is willing to take that position only ends up dead." She said though he couldn't see it Tsunade had an impassive face on, "Minato, my grandfather, and granduncle even sensei risked their lives to protect the village, unlike money, it's too risky to lose it, is fool doing!" She clenches her fist, "They all died in vain and for what?" Jiraiya hard gaze penetrated her, he didn't say anything just let her do the talking for the most part; he'll say his piece once she was done, "To be Hokage is a bother…only fools would take on the position."
"Well, I don't know what changed you Tsunade…" Jiraiya said walking away from her, he sits on an open window looking at the village, "But I will say this if you refuse you can kiss everything you know and love goodbye to a person who doesn't have the villages best interest at heart, I'm sure Danzō would love to get every child in his ROOT project but then again I don't know, I wouldn't mind seeing emotionless soldiers running around…ah well…who else will I turn to, maybe Fugaku?"
"…"
"Ah well, it was a nice chat Tsunade but I must inform the elders of your decision. Farewell, for now."
With that, he jumped out the window leaving the blonde Sanin to her thoughts. Tsunade really did try to get back to work, however, the thought of Danzo being Hokage really stirred her the wrong way, gritting her teeth she tried to work but her mind wouldn't allow her to focus at all.
Finally, she slammed the pen damn rubbing her temples, "Damn you Jiraiya!" With a loud voice, she called her apprentice who happened to be in the other room, "SHIZUNE!"
LXD: I'll stop right there. Anyway quick update I'll try not to be going back and forth between regular story or crossover however like I said I don't know if this is going to be a mini-crossover or full crossover. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comment section, with that said comment, rate, subscribe.
For my Reviewer(s)
Antex-The Legendary Zoroark- Thank you though I'm not saying much you never know who will be Hokage. I was inspired by few fan-fiction that did the self-insert so that's where I got the idea from, for pairings, I don't want to focus on pairings right away but I do have something in mind it's the execution that needs to be delivered first before I get there.
