A week later

Storm's POV

I stand at the gate of Gambling Central waiting.

"Of course, I got up early and did my routine, then I went running to work on my endurance, by the time I was done with everything I thought I was gonna be late, but no, instead I'm early, again." I mutter incoherent words until Tsunade and Shizune walk up to the gate.

"Oh Storm, your here early." Tsunade says to me.

I hold a finger up as I grab a kunai. "Shh." I say and I throw a kunai behind them landing in front of Naruto and Jiraiya. "You are late." I say to them.

"No we aren't, your just early." Naruto says to me using my excuse for when I'm late.

"Hey, that's my excuse, you can't use it." I say to him.

"I just did, so what are you gonna do about it?" Naruto taunts me.

I punch him into the ground. "I can do that." I say to him with a smirk.

"Oh yeah? Well I can do this." Naruto transforms into a sexy girl version of himself.

My eye twitches in annoyance. "You little" I punch him into a tree and the jutsu releases.

"They seem to be having fun." Tsunade says with a smirk.

"Well I can also do this." Naruto says and makes a Rasengan and blasts a tree away.

"Oh yeah? Well then, your outclassed." I say to him with a smirk as I control his shadow.

"Huh? Wait, what?" Naruto asks as I make his shadow make him do weird stuff.

"Ha, I outclassed you with my Shadow Style." I say to him with a smirk.

"You release me! Now!" Naruto yells as I make him hug Shizune.

I release him and me and Naruto have a wrestling match.

Tsunade and Jiraiya laugh at us.

"You are going down Storm." Naruto says to me.

"What did I even do?" I ask him.

"You controlled my shadow and you punched me." Naruto says to me.

"You should be used to me doing weird stuff like that." I say to him and Naruto nods but continues trying to wrestle me.

I hear a stampede and I break away from Naruto and I jump up into a tree.

"Storm?" Tsunade asks.

I point to the stampede coming at us.

Kami, help me.

First, cows go by, then bulls, then gophers, rabbits, cats, dogs, ostriches, ravens, and finally Fan-Boys.

I sigh in relief after they pass.

I look at Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shizune and Naruto to see them a bit weirded out.

"What was that about?" Tsunade asks.

"I have no idea, all I know is that I wasn't caught by those boys." I say to her and Tsunade nods.

We walk most of the way back to the Leaf Village before we see the sign for a hot spring.

"A hot spring?" I ask looking at the sign.

Tsunade stops and looks at the sign. "How about we stop and rest?" Tsunade asks.

I nod then point to Naruto.

"No we have to get back so you can heal Kakashi-Sensei, Bushy Brows and Sasuke." Naruto says to her.

I point to Jiraiya.

"I agree with Naruto, we have to get back." Jiraiya says to Tsunade.

Tsunade then whispers something in his ear.

I point to Jiraiya. 

"Lets head to the Hot Springs." Jiraiya says with a smirk.

I point to Naruto.

"Wha? But we have to get back. That's playing dirty Grandma." Naruto says to Tsunade.

I shrug. "I'm probably gonna go see if I can play a few card games against someone." I say and Tsunade looks at me interested.

"Card games?" Tsunade asks as we walk.

I nod. "Yes card games, I actually get lucky with them, but unlucky with any other type of game." I say to her.

We break off in town and I find a poker place but before I walk in someone drags me by the back of my coat, to an ally.

"Where is Lady Tsunade?" One of the guys ask me.

"I believe she went to go get something to eat at the bar down town." I lie.

"Thank you for your time kid." The two guys run off.

I nod and they get out of earshot.

"They actually believed that." I say quietly and I walk back to the poker place and I walk in.

"Oh, its just a girl, well what do you want?" One of the guys ask.

I sit down. "Well, I came here to play a few games of Poker." I say to him and all the guys laugh.

"A girl, poker?" One of the guys says while laughing.

I roll my eyes. "Fine bastards, I'll leave, you clearly have no eye for talent." I say and get up, I walk to the door and I take it off its hinges, I set it aside and I walk out of the place.

I walk down the street and to our hotel. I see Tsunade talking to a guy and I walk over confused.

"Tsunade?" I ask and she looks at me surprised.

"Oh hello Storm, I thought you were gonna go find a place to play cards. What are you doing here?" Tsunade asks me.

"Moronic bastards wouldn't let me play because they said a girl can't play poker."

"Did you teach them a lesson?" Tsunade asks me.

"I would have, then I realized 'they're moronic bastards, they aren't worth my arguments' and so I left after I took their door of its hinges." I say to her with shrug and Tsunade pats my head.

"From what Jiraiya and Naruto say, that's an improvement in your attitude, nice job." Tsunade says to me then turns to the guy. "Jirocho, this is Storm, Storm this is Lord Jirocho." Tsunade introduces us.

I nod to him. "Its nice to meet you." I say to him.

"Oh Storm, by any chance have you seen two guys?" Tsunade asks me.

I look at Tsunade. "Tsunade, do you know how many guys I can point out around us right now?" I ask her.

"Let me rephrase that, have you seen any guys who were looking for me?" Tsunade rephrases.

"Oh, the two that dragged me into an ally just to ask? Yeah, since I didn't know who they were I told them you were down town in a bar getting something to eat." I say to her.

Tsunade sighs. "Alright, Naruto will do the work with finding them, he's most likely too anyway." Tsunade says to me.

I nod. "Yeah that's true." I say and me and Tsunade walk with Jirocho to a tea place.

I stand by the door as Tsunade and Jirocho talk, a boy about my age walks up and waits next to me.

I see him glance at me then blush until he see's my ninja weapons, then he turns away with an annoyed look.

I roll my eyes and wait.

Soon the boy talks to Jirocho.

"I see, thank you Idate." Jirocho says to him.

"Storm, come on, we're gonna go stop Naruto and his ruckus." Tsunade says to me as she walks to the door.

"I see." I say and walk out after her.

We find Naruto and he stops short in front of us.

"Naruto." I say to him and he laughs nervously until another Tsunade runs up to him.

"Shizune." Tsunade says to the other Tsunade.

The other Tsunade poofs into Shizune and we all have a chat with the two guys from earlier.

The two guys look at me. "Its you." They say pointing to me. "We're sorry for pulling you into an ally, but what we want to know, is why didn't you freak out?" They ask me.

"Because I knew I could beat your asses in less than a minute." I say to them with a shrug.

"Storm, I'm sorry." Naruto says to me with a bow of apology.

"What did you do?" I ask him suddenly suspicious.

"I looked through your bag to try and find some money but instead I found your clothes and other stuff." Naruto says trailing off.

I punch him into the ground. "Find some damn shame you moron, you don't just go looking in someone's bag, especially a girls." I say to him annoyed.

"I deserved that." Naruto croaks out.

"Yes you did, besides I spent all the money I had to pay for the damage in that one hotel we stopped at on our way here, you and Jiraiya left with out pitching in." I say to him.

Naruto laughs nervously. "Pervy Sage ended up using my money in a different town on our way here." Naruto says to me.

I sigh and turn around and start walking. "I'm grabbing my bag and I'm heading back before I get dragged into more crap." I say to them with a wave of my hand as I walk.

"Wha? Hey wait up!" Naruto yells running after me.

I slide down the hill on my heels and I walk back to the hotel. I grab my bag from my room and I walk to the gates.

Naruto catches up to me. "Storm, why are you so fast?" Naruto asks me.

I shrug and continue walking. "I just want to go home, its been an exhausting few weeks." I say to him and a thought comes to my mind. "I have to pay rent with money I don't have, damn." I say and I start running down the path with Naruto behind me.

All of us get back to the Leaf Village, well except for Jiraiya, we have no idea where he's at.

Tsunade heads to the Hokage building and I head to my apartment.

I walk into my apartment and I look around.

"I know I left it somewhere." I say and I find the box. I open it and I find the extra rent money that I keep incase I used my other rent money that I normally keep on me. "Found it." I walk out of my apartment and down the hall, I knock on the Landlady's door.

She answers it and frowns at me. "Yes?" She asks me.

"My rent money Ma'am." I say holding out an envelope out for her to take.

She takes it. "Well, your safe for another month." The Landlady closes the door.

I sigh in relief.

I walk to my training grounds and I start training like I normally do.

By the time its 7, I'm sitting in Ichiraku's after I ordered.

Naruto sits next to me and orders his Ramen.

"Hello Naruto." I say to him.

Naruto grins at me and we eat our ramen.

"So good." I say in content, Teuchi and Ayame laugh while Naruto nods in agreement.

I have a few more bowls before I pay and leave.

A few days later

I walk around town and Kakashi walks up next to me while reading his perverted book.

"So, Lady Tsunade tells me you didn't give up when you were fight Kabuto and Orochimaru." Kakashi says to me casually.

"And? They pissed me off." I say to him with a shrug.

Kakashi shakes his head. "Your scary when your mad." Kakashi says to me.

"I know." I say with a nod.

"Anyways, Lady Tsunade wanted you." Kakashi says to me.

"Of course she does, alright, see ya Kakashi-Sensei." I say to him and Kakashi nods, I run to the Hokage office and Tsunade stands in front of it with her arms crossed.

"Alexis, you were reckless and as your new Hokage I have to punish you for it." Tsunade says to me.

Yeah, she's just like Gramps, crap.

"Not only will you become Chunin, you will become Jonin." Tsunade says to me with a smirk.

My jaw drops. "Say what?" I ask trying to gain my composure.

Tsunade laughs. "You didn't come earlier when I summoned you and Shikamaru." Tsunade says to me.

She's not like Gramps at all, yes, this is gonna be fun.

I close my jaw. "Ok." I say to her with a nod.

Tsunade hands me my Jonin flack jacket. "You might as well wear the standard outfit, yours won't exactly go with the flack jacket." Tsunade says to me.

"Uh, I'm not so sure I'd look good in the standard outfit. I think I'll just stick with my outfit." I say to her.

Tsunade sighs. "Fine." Tsunade says and walks back inside her office. "Oh and Storm, for the next two years, I'll be nursing your Medical skills and teaching Sakura medical Nin-Jutsu as well." Tsunade says to me.

"Uh huh." I walk in and I skim through the books.

"What are you doing?" Tsunade asks me.

"What I always do." I say to her and Tsunade sighs. I take out a book on Medical Nin-Jutsu and I sit down next to the book shelves and I start reading.
