CHAPTER 8: RUN
That one strike, shameful. Naruto could never live that down. Outside that shop, Naruto would fall, or rather fly. One flick. One flick was all it took to rid the young shinobi of his pride. One flick Tsunade had won the argument. It wouldn't matter what Naruto said, once hands started flying the fight's winner was always right. And, Naruto knew this. Still, he kept on arguing:
"It doesn't matter that I lost. No one disrespects the Hokage!"
This impressed the slug princess. Still, she could never admit the boy impressed her. The Toad Sannin cut in with: "Alright Naruto, let's get back to training. You can fight her again tomorrow." Naruto yells out: "But, she disrespected the Hokage! I can learn the Rasengan later, she needs to be taught a lesson NOW!" again drawing the slug Sannin's attention.
"Alright Naruto, I'll bite. If you learn the Rasengan in a week I'll give you my necklace that belonged to the first Hokage. If you don't you can never talk to me about the Hokage again!"
"Bring it on Granny!"

"The training will be intense."
"I know that."
"Alright, you've popped the balloon, kept the energy in the balloon, and destroyed the rubber ball. Now you have to put it all together. The Rasengan is powerful, but it is a controlled power."
"No problem!"

Sakura and Ino had the day off. With Naruto off training and Tsunade being found, they had nothing to do except walk around the village and watch the training. After spending a few hours watching Naruto try and fail to make a sphere of chakra, they decided that the village might be of more interest. Walking down the streets they overheard Tsunade drunkenly yelling at her bartender.
"That boy, the moron one, thinks he's getting this." pointing at the neckless on her chest in a sloppy way. "But no. He isn't. This is mine. I'm sorry Nawaki, Dan, I'm no Hokage. I miss you!"
"Naruto will be Hokage" Ino yells "And, he will learn that jutsu! He never goes back on his word, right Sakura?". "Yeah," Sakura responds, "If Naruto says he'll do it, he means it!". "Stupid kids," Tsunade said as she passed out on the counter.
Shizune runs up and begins nudging the soon-to-be Hokage. Shizune says "Lady Tsunade you need to wake up. Your meeting with Orochimaru is soon and you need to be sober. Come on, let's get you some coffee." without noticing the two girls who had mere seconds ago yelled out at the slug summoner. Tsunade and Shizune then slowly walk through the village out of sight in search of a hangover cure.
"Why do I remember that name: Orochimaru?" asked Ino. "I don't know, but I bet he's important if he's Tsunade!" replied Sakura, "Jiraiya might want to know about this, after all maybe Orochimaru can help convince Tsunade… Wait, I know that name! He's that guy who bit Sasuke and killed the Kazekage!". "Damn your right, I can't believe I could forget that guy! Come on, now we really have to tell Jiraiya!"
—-
The two kunoichi begin to run towards the training area. Yelling and waving their arms as they get closer. "Toad Guy!" yelled Sakura. "Huh, who's that?" asked the drifting asleep Sannin. "JIRAIYA!" yelled Ino. "Alright, I'm up" moaned the "toad guy", "what is the problem?". "TSUNADE IS GOING TO MEET OROCHIMARU!" the girls said in unison. "Orochimaru?!" Naruto interrupts, "I hate that guy! Why is Tsunade meeting that bastard?".
"We were a team."
"Huh?!" said the gennin in unison.
"Tsunade, Orochimaru, and me. We fought together for years until Tsunade's brother died. After that happened she quit being a shinobi, quit entirely. She was the best medical ninja in the world and gave it all up. Orochimaru was next. His experiments slowly overtook his sanity as his experiments became less humane. I was the only one remaining. The others went their own ways, I stayed with the village."
"So is that why She is meeting him now?" asked Sakura?
"Partly. He knows that Tsunade is still a terrific medic and could possibly fix his arms. She wouldn't meet him without reason though. He must be offering something so enticing she would help that man." answered the spy. "Naruto, enough training for now. We need to find Tsunade."
"Alright. Time to kick some snake ass!"
GUY GETS CAUGHT 3
After hours of searching through village archives, Hiashi finds it, his way out:
Report:
The enemy were merciless. Carelessly tearing at the skin of my team. The fifth gate was needed. Never have I seen such horrible combat. The battle lasted hours. The cat ran into an orphanage, with the kids still inside. Hurrily my team rushed inside, only to completely lose the cat. Then we saw it climbing to the roof. With no option left we ran out of the orphanage, accidentaly knocking over a gas lamp. Flames filled the orphanage, burning it to ashes. Thankfully no one was hurt in the fire, but the building was unsalvageable. We caught the cat soon after and quickly returned it.

Hiashi was stunned. Never did he think he would find something this incriminating. There is no way that he would be focused on now that he can prove Guy burned down an orphanage. Oh how wrong he was.
