Chapter 104 Pervy Sage.

Hashirama didn't hesitate to strike when he saw Tsunade arguing with a man. Though the white hair fellow was older and seemed injured already, he had his own justice to deliver.

"Wood style," He announced. "Wood dragon jutsu!"

A wooden dragon the size of an Anaconda grew from his body, wrapping around him, before launching off his outstretched hand.

The man yelped in surprise as the dragon wrapped around him and squeezed.

"What?" Tsunade gasped as he landed next to her.

With a towel around her middle, she looked fresh out of the bath, the sight only angered Hashirama more, that bastard dared to look at his grandchild! She was younger than he expected. From Sakura's memories of the time period he expected her to be older, then again, she did have Uzumaki in her blood.

"Tsuna!" he hugged her, realizing sheepishly he didn't reach far, her boobs resting on his head.

"What the hell is going on here, Tsunade?" the pervert asked, daring to speak her name familiarly. Hashirama growled and the wood dragon tightened his hold. The pervert gasped and poofed into a log.

"Substitution!" Hashirama cursed standing before Tsunade protectively, as he looked around for the man.

"Who?" Tsunade asked him. The words hit him hard, did she not recognise him? He turned to look at her with teary eyes when someone crashed into the ground before them. Hashirama stood ready for a fight when the mist cleared revealing a battered pervert.

Confused, Hashirama looked up and saw Tobirama walking towards them with a displeased face.

"You're an idiot," his brother scolded him. "What's the point of rushing here if you let the pervert escape?"

"Sorry," Hashirama apologised.

"Wait," Tsunade called to them, "I think this is a misunderstanding."

Hashirama paused with the pervert collar in hand ready for a beat down.

"Misunderstanding?" Hashirama asked, his eyes displaying his confusion.

"Did he not peek at you while you were bathing?" Tobirama asked bluntly. Tsunade looked defeated.

"Y-yes," she admitted. "But-"

Thwack!

Hashirama's punch landed, hard and bloody. Tsunade sighed at the sight, the pervert was going to need a new jaw.

"Well that was unexpected," the Senjus looked up to the fence to see the pervert sitting there unharmed. "Who knew kids were this violent these days, Tsunade where did you find these brats?"

Tobirama looked down at the man in Hashirama's arms to find a frog on its last crook. He clicked his tongue and lashed out. How dare the pervert make a fool of him. Water from the hot spring came to life under Tobirama's control and surged towards the man like a tsunami.

"Whoops!" the pervert explained and leapt on the fence, slippery like a frog. He landed on the building instead and Tobirama was more hesitant to destroy the infrastructure and drown the people inside, Sakura wouldn't let him hear the end of it.

Hashirama didn't share his concern. The wood dragon sprung up from where he was abandoned and attacked the white-haired man.

"Eek!" the man squealed and ran from the jutsu, dodging and weaving familiarly. Tobirama narrowed his eyes.

"A leaf shinobi?" he asked, and Hashirama paused his assault.

He looked at his brother in shock.

"Yes! That's right, he's a leaf shinobi and my teammate!" Tsunade exclaimed, happy they now understood.

The brothers looked at each other oddly.

The pervert, now feeling brave landed beside Tsunade, and even rested an elbow on her shoulder.

"You youngsters these days have no manners or knowledge of the past," the man said. He grinned at them even as Tobirama held Hashirama back from attacking. The pervert pointed to himself.

"Listen up you brats! I will now reveal my true identity!" He swings his ponytail around dramatically. "From the north to the south, the east to the west," he threw a scroll from his back into the air, "Not even the spirits can defeat this Sanin!" He summoned a horse-side toad and then stood upon it like a stage. "The white mane, Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku! Jiraiya! That's me!"

The Senju brothers stared in disbelief, and Tsunade palmed her face in embarrassment as Jiraiya struck a pose.

Silence stretched between them, filled only by the cold wind.

"Honestly, can't I just enjoy a hot spring in peace?" Tsunade asked. To answer her question, her towel fell to the ground exposing her to the elements. Jiraiya cheered in excitement, and Tsunade resigned herself to her faith.

"I'll be sure to carve that into your grave," Hashirama promised Jiraiya, his bewildered gaze turning to hatred. "Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees!"

The room shook, throwing everyone off balance as a forest grew to life in the village.

"What the hell?" they exclaimed, looking out the window.

"That idiot," I cursed, feeling chakra leaking out of me. I should have known something like this would happen. Jiraiya is strong so he won't die right? And who else could be dumb enough to peek at Tsunade and anger Hashirama?

I stood on shaky legs. I needed the pervert alive to teach Naruto, was my thought, but looking at Minato I realized I didn't actually need the pervert. Should I save him? I folded my arms in thought as the room panicked around me. He didn't know Naruto yet and there was no bond so I could afford to lose him.

"Don't be lazy and go control that idiot!" Madara yelled in my head. Ah, was that it was? I sighed.

"What a drag," I muttered. "Minato," I called to the fourth, getting his attention. "Let's go save your sensei."

"Eh?" He asked in confusion.

Teleportation, it turns out, was just like substitution, as we appeared in the air above the chaos. Sitting on Minato's arm as he floated in the air, I groaned. I really didn't want to go down there. The bathhouse was covered with trees like an abandoned building taken over by nature. I sighed, I wasn't going to pay the bill for that.

Minato looked calmer than I felt, his blue eyes clear as he looked at the chaos. It felt odd seeing Naruto's face look so serious.

A tree root exploded and our eyes locked onto the area, spotting Hashirama fighting a man with white hair atop a frog.

"Sensei?" Minato asked, unsure.

"Who else is so reckless?" I asked, channelling chakra to my eyes and activating the Byakugan. It was fascinating how similar my jutsus were to others. The Byakugan felt like seeing through the eyes of my summons but without the multi-vision. I zoomed in, because what else would it be? Onto the fight and indeed it was Jiraiya getting his ass handed to him by Hashirama. I looked around for Tobirama who was supposed to prevent this and found him with Tsunade, dressed in a robe.

Pieces were fitting into place, I didn't realize Hashirama was so protective of his granddaughter.

I saw movement around the bathhouse and a shield formed around the area, signalling the team was in place. Since I couldn't take the squad with me into this chaos I placed them on crowd control and sealing off the area. At least with this, the damage won't spread beyond the bathhouse. I really won't pay for it, ya know.

"Well, enough stalling, let's go down before they wreck the place," I said, resigned.

"Right," Minato agreed. We were freefalling. I kept my eyes on the targets as we dived.

"Take the pervert, I'll handle Hashirama," I reminded him.

Minato chuckled nervously.

"He's really not that bad," He tried to defend his teacher. I gave him a blank look, he didn't meet my eyes.

"Throw me!" I commanded, without hesitation, Minato launched me forward towards the Senju.

Hashirama was glaring at the flustered Sanin when I came raining in. They turned to me, sensing my presence as I drew close but it was too late.

"Cha!" I yelled as my fist slammed into the ground, breaking it and forcing the two apart.

"What the hell!?" Jiraiya exclaimed. I stood slowly exhaling softly. Here we go again! Minato landed behind me, his back to mine.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"It's fine," I assured him. "Just need to discipline a bad child." I glared at Hashirama's teen form. "Go!" I leapt at the Senju as Minato moved towards Jiraiya.

"Sakura?" Hashirama was surprised as I appeared before him, but I didn't give him a chance to explain.

"You Idiot!" Madara yelled through me. Our fist landed sending the Senju through the air and crashing into the barrier, which promptly cracked.

"Oops," we flinched. I rushed off to see the Senju's corpse as Minato calmed down his sensei behind me.

"Minato!?" Jiraiya exclaimed in shock before I leapt away.

It wasn't hard to find the Senju, he sat on his knees, his head hung low, he was too used to being scolded, I noted.

I hopped over the roots and rubble to his kneeling form, stopping before him, my hands on my hips.

"Any excuses?" I asked.

"He saw Tsunade naked," He said meekly. I slapped my face dragging my hand down in exasperation.

"Of course, that's what happened." Didn't Sasuke do something similar when I fought at that hot spring? What is it with hot springs and chaos? Are they cursed? "While I can understand your… pain? Couldn't you kill him quietly instead of causing so much trouble?"

He whimpered like a kicked puppy.

"I'm not used to doing things quietly," he defended. I knocked him on the head.

"That's not an excuse!" I yelled, pointing to the trees and rubble. "Do you see what you've done!? You're my responsibility, who do you think will have to handle this mess? I can't say it was done in the name of war, this is infighting. You damn brat!" I grabbed his hair and shook him. "How old are you to be getting into fights with children, huh!?"

"I'm sorry!" he yelped. " I won't do it again, I promise!"

"Who cares about next time, what about now, huh? And who said you could take more Chakra to fight a child? Don't you have any shame? Don't you feel sorry for me?" I was slapping him now, as he was, no attack I delivered would cause much damage, but I wasn't going to let him do as he pleased. If this fight went on, the village would be levelled, and I would be dead from chakra exhaustion. I slapped him harder. His Idiot was trying to kill me!

I didn't pause as I heard footsteps behind us.

"Calm down," Tobirama said, flatly. "You'll rip his hair out."

I looked back at the younger Senju, he looked so unbothered by this situation even as he was visibly older. Tsunade looked between us with a worried face, seeing what that white hair boy did not.

"You're right," I smiled, dropping Hashirama. "I overreacted. You see, I was just so worried when I saw Hashirama used such a jutsu." I walked over to Tobirama as Tsunade made herself scarce. "I panicked."

He hmphed. "As if Hashirama would lose to anyone," He said confidently. I reached up and patted his head.

"It's good you're so calm," I told him. "Not stepping in to stop your brother despite saying you would." His calm shattered as the seal took effect. I wasn't going to chase this idiot down so I took away his legs.

"I-" He started but I didn't want to hear it. I grabbed his hair and slammed his face into my knee.

"Kch!"

I dropped him to the ground, his body unable to move.

"Inaction makes you just as guilty!" I declared raising my leg high and bringing it down on his head. The ground cracked around us, collapsing under the force of my blow. "Do you think you're too cool to control your older brother?" I asked stepping on him. "That's your job, stupid!"

I slammed his head down with each word. In the end, I might have been the one to cause the most damage. I wasn't going to pay for this.

I turned to Hashirama to find him trembling in Tsunade's arms. My eyes twitch. Why was this grown man acting like I was the devil?

"We're going," I told him, grabbing his hair and pulling him away from his granddaughter.

"Tsuna, save me!" he cried as if I could kill him.

"Ah, grandpa that's a bit…" she said as I picked up Tobirama and pulled him along as well.

Minato was catching up with his teacher when we returned. The Sage's face turned pale as I approached them.

Minato turned and he blinked.

"I see you got them both, huh," he said, eyeing the Senju brothers.

"That's what you're focused on!?" Jiraiya cried pointing at me. "She has horns!"

I looked up but couldn't see anything so I dropped Hashirama to reach for my head. Sure enough two small horns protruded from my head. I didn't notice. With the chakra leak, there are a lot of things I won't notice.

"It's fine," Minato assured him. "She looks like this some time."

His words weren't assuring for the perverted Sage at all.

"Release the barrier," I spoke into my communicator, missing my summons. The barrier fell at my order and I dragged my delinquent Kages out of the Bathhouse.

"Are you okay?" The squad swarmed me. I waved them off and threw the two Kages to the ground.

"I'm fine, which is more than I can say for this place," I looked back at the bathhouse and groaned. I really wasn't going to pay for this.

"What's going on here?"

Fuck my life.

We turned to see the five Kages and the general approaching us, no doubt attracted by the fighting.

I turned to them fully, earning some pause from them. I smiled politely, I wasn't in a position of power and this mess was partially my fault.

I grabbed the Senju brothers and shook them awake before tossing them before the General.

"Apologize," I ordered. Like hell, I was going to take the blame for this!

They exchanged glances before bowing before the old samurai.

"We apologize for our actions!"

Mifune looked feint.

"Minato," I called and Jiraiya promptly joined the Senjus.

"Ah," he looked back at his student with a look of betrayal.

"Well Sage, apologize for causing this mess," I growled at him. He shivered and bowed his head.

"I am at fault," He confessed.

"Jiraiya!" Hiruzen exclaimed, recognising his student.

"The legendary Sanin," Mifune lost a few shades.

"Ahem," Minato coughed.

"Of course, I will be paying for everything since this is my fault," Jiraiya added.

I gave Minato a tumps up and he smiled at me. Aw, it's nice to have someone reliable.

Pain racked through my head and I suppressed the urge to wince. The former Kages grew by a few years and looked back at me with shock.

"My, I find myself a bit tired after all this excitement," I said, getting everyone's attention. Mifune paused in his panic and stood straight and with authority.

"We won't keep you," He said, looking at the mess that was his bathhouse. "We'll discuss the bathhouse incident another time."

"Of course, I'll ensure Jiraiya brings his chequebook."

The sage flinched at my words.

"Causing trouble again, Sakura?"

Kasashi and the other senseis approached us, unhurriedly.

"This wasn't my fault, Sensei," I assured him as he walked closer. He reached for my head and poked at my horns.

"Should you be wearing those around?" He asked casually.

"They just slipped out," I told him, honestly.

"Just slip out what the hell- oof!" Asuma was in distress as Kurenai elbowed him.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed before they smiled.

"Well if you are quite done, I have words for you," he tucked me under his arms like a sack of potatoes. "I'll see you all at the meeting after dinner," He said with a wave before flickering away along with the other Jonins.

"Hey, sensei wait!" Naruto called after him and gave chase the other following suit with some complaints from Shikamaru.

The Senju brothers also flickered away, leaving Minato and Tsunade behind with the five Kages and General Mifune.

"Energetic bunch, aren't they?" Rasa commented.

"There's much to prepare," Mifune said turning to the Kages and bowing. "If you'll excuse me." they returned the bow and the Kages scattered to their respective rooms, leaving the Leaf shinobis behind.

Minato's pleasant smile dropped as soon as they were alone and the air turned cold.

Hiruzen and Jiraiya flinched as Minato's cold gaze locked on to them.

"We have much to discuss, Sensei, Hokage Sama," he said flatly. Tsunade took a step back at the cold atmosphere. This wasn't the loving father Naruto knew, this was the yellow flash, the shinobi who ended the war alone. And he wasn't happy.

And there we have it, Jiraiya is here and we can move on to the next arc!
