Hi everyone Chapter 9 woop woop :-) Enjoy

Disclaimer in first chapter.

The first streams of sunshine streaked across the early morning sky, slowly birds started to sing their songs. Sunlight graced the Hokage Monument, revealing the stone faces. A warm breeze travelled throughout the village. Tsunade watching the sunrise peeking over the mountains let out a small sigh, no word has yet been received from the two man squad she sent six days ago. A knock echoed through her office, taking one more glance outside she turned to the door.

"Enter"

Shizune walked into the office holding a stack of scrolls. Tsunade eyed the scrolls with hatred, trying to make them disappear.

"You know, they won't disappear if you stare at them like that." Her apprentice joked, a smile never leaving her smile.

"Your not the one who has to deal with all the reading and signing of these damn reports" the medi-nin mumbled. Shizune kept smiling placing the reports and other documents in front of the fifth.

"Any word yet?" her voice laced with worry. The younger women shocked her head, she too was also worried the blonde was a younger brother to her.

"You two worry too much, they are both capable ninja." came an amused voice. Both looked at the open window. Sitting causally was Jiraiya; His white long spiky hair, two red tattoos under his eyes.

"I know that but I can't help but worry. He's a little brother to me." Tsunade said softly. Shizune nodded in agreement.

"He's grown into a fine young man, his parents would be proud of the ninja and man he has become." proudly spoke the Sannin.

"Kiba Inuzuka has also grown, ever since he lost to Naruto he's stepped up to the plate." chipped in the brunette. Hearing that name, Jiraiya rubbed his chin concentrating on something. His old teammate simply looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"Inuzuka, Inuzuka. Is he the kid who has those fanged tattoos on each side of his face? Inquired the tattooed ninja.

"Yes, why?" asked the medi-nin.

"Naruto mentioned him a couple of time while we where travelling. He had that smile everytime he spoke about him. The same one his father had everytime he talked about Kushina." replied the white haired man.

"Well it seems he has feelings for him. I've established that Kiba feels strongly about our knuckleheaded blond." supplied the fifth.

Hearing this Jiraiya looked out over Konoha, market stalls being filled with a variety of goods. Ninja jumping from rooftop to rooftop, going about their duties. Turning back into the office, his face held a serious expression.

"So no word. How long has it been?" he Inquired

"Six day's. That's unusual for both of them, I normally get a report by now." the blond said with a serious tone. A plum of smoke exploded in front of her, startling the Hokage . The smoke cleared in seconds revealing a blue and green toad.

"A messenger toad?" spoked the young apprentice.

"I have one letter here to be delivered to the Fifth Hokage." stated the toad looking around for the fifth. His eyes falling on the toad sage."Jiraiya-Sama it's good to see you. Have you by any chance seen the Hokage?"

The white haired Sannin's eyes widened, with several sweet marks appearing on his face. Nodding really fast like a hamster on caffeine pointing behind the toad. A wave of K.I washed over the office, the walls and windows begun to buckle under the serge of chakra emanating from behind the toad. A massive sweat mark dropped down his face. An extremely pissed off Tsunade stood up cracking each of her fingers, the look on her face was murderous. If anything looked at her they would be killed ten times over. Her fist collied with the toad, launching him through the adjacent wall, spinning like a Catherine wheel. Shizune ducking quickly as to not be hit by the flying toad. Smashing through wall after wall until he collided with a solid concrete wall. Staying suspended on the wall for a few seconds, until gravity took hold of him, sliding down the wall.

The fifth brought down her fist and started to walk towards the toad, still with murder in her eyes. The amphibian shakily got up, looking back at the destructive path he made, lights flickering and sparking. Before he could move, he was lifted into the air by his message pouch rotated until he was face to face with the Hokage.

"I did not mean to startle you Hokage-Sama." the toad spoke fear lacing each word. Minutes past each staring into each other's eyes. Neither backing down, finally the medi-nin strode back to her office the K.I and chakra still present but part of the background feel of the office. Slinging the coloured toad on the desk, before picking up her seat and sitting in it. Her piercing gaze never leaving the toad.

"I presume the message is from Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka?" asked the Hokage with authority.

"Yes M'lady." bowing low to her as he spoke, raising a hand to unfastened the pouch containing the report. Handing it to her, while his head still bowed. Taking it from his opened webbed feet, placing it infront of her untying it in the process. Shizune walked up to the toad bowing to him, lifting him up gently as to not cause anymore damage to the messenger. The young medic started to heal his wounds sustained by the fifths insane strength.

Reading it over, eyes travelling across it's contents a small smile graced her lips as she read. The K.I and chakra dispersed intently as relief lifted her foul mood. Watching his old teammate, Jiraiya noticed the change in her. He's old eyes grew soft, a gentle smile grew on his lips. As quickly as the mood lightened it disappeared.

"What is it Tsunade?" his voice grieve. Looking at him she chucked the scroll at him, before resting her head on her hands, deep in thought. While she was doing this, Jiraiya read over the report. Finishing the report a long sigh passed his lips, silence fell over the office each in deep thought.

"What are you going to do?" inquired the Sannin looking out of the window until turning his head to look at the fifth. A pregnant pause hung between them, communicating without words. Tsunade nodded her head to the sage, returning it he was gone. Shizune finished healing the messenger taking him back to desk, then taking her place behind the Godaime.

"Shizune summon team Guy here at once!" shout the Medi-nin.

"At once Lady Tsunade." said the young apprentice, bowing to her before running out of the door.

"Do you require me for anything M'lady?" timidly ask the amphibian.

Pondering the question for a few seconds she shock her head as a sign of dismissal. Noticing that he was being dismissed he bowed saying.

"Good day to you Lady Tsunade." with that he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Reaching for her bottom draw, pulling out a small bottle of sake and a small porcelain cup. Pouring the liquid contents into her cup then downing it in one gulp. Wiping the remains off her lips with her sleeve. Placing the bottle and cup back into the draw, she pulled out a cream and gold scroll. Untying the ribbon, she laid it down on her desk and begun to write.

The world outside her office continued without a care in the world. Time past she finally finished her letter, tying it back up and then sealing it. Resting her head back onto her hands deep in thought. A crisp knock at the door echoed in the room, the Godaime simply diverted her gaze to the door waiting for it to open. As if on cue it opened allowing team Guy to enter followed closely by Shizune.

Team Guy consisted of; TenTen the only female in the team, her team mates are Neji Hyūga and finally Rock Lee. Each of them filling infront of the Hokage, Guy standing slightly in front of his team. Each bowing to the Hokage, before Guy speaks.

"You sent for us Hokage-Sama?"

"Yes I have an A-rank mission for you. I need you to deliver this scroll to the Kazekage immediately." stated the fifth looking at each of her loyal subordinates, noticing a small blush ghost over Lee's cheeks. Inwardly smiling she thought to herself, while doing a victory dance.

'Ha,ha I knew it! Lee has feelings for Gaara. I soo won the bet hehehehe cough up Hyūga you owe me.'

Neji noticed the faint smile on her face and discretely looked at his team mate standing next to him, he too noticed the slight blush on his cheeks turning his attention back on the Hokage. Their eyes meet, her smirk was now one her face, the Jōnin bowed his head in shame at loosing to the worst gambler in the world. Lee was oblivious just like his sensei, while TenTen picked up on what was happening a small giggle escaped her lips. The moment the giggle left her lips five sets of eyes were on her.

"Sorry" she said timidly feeling her face go red with embarrassment.

"As I was saying, you are to leave immediately and deliver this scroll to the Kazekage. This scroll can only be opened by him and only him. If by and chance this scroll is, it will create an explosion capable of wiping out everything in a mile radius. Do I make myself clear?" authority ringing in her voice.

"Hai!" responded the ninja infront of her.

"Go!" with that they left to carry out their mission. Once the door closed, Tsunade swung around in her chair staring out of the window. Watching everything that's just happened Shizune approached her master saying.

"Is it really that bad? To send Master Jiraiya and a urgent message to Gaara? What was on the report to make you act like you have?"

Sighing Tsunade responded by gravely nodding her head, but without saying a word. Taking the answer she was given, she bowed before returning to her other duties. As she reached the door, the fifth said;

"When Kakashi has returned spend for him."

"Very well master." she responded, turning back to the door opening it and closing it after her.

Staring outside, Tsunade thought

'This changes everything.'

Stuck in her thoughts ignoring the piles of paperwork mounting on and around her desk.
