2 Day's Later - Tatsuyu's POV

"Wait, you mean I slept through an attack on the village?" I ask Lady Tsunade who's sitting in my living room.

"Yeah, you slept for two days in a row." Lady Tsunade says to me.

"How?" I ask as I walk back and forth.

"You must have been really tired, or really stressed, if you were really stressed, you wouldn't want to wake up, correct? And if you were really tired, you'd need a lot of rest to be able to function." Lady Tsunade says to me. "What were you dreaming about?" Lady Tsunade says to me.

"The perfect reality." I say sarcastically and she scowls at me. "It was a dream, about if I could change something in this ridiculous world, I made the choice, to erase Danzo from existence, you wouldn't believe how much less conflict we were in, in that dream, we wouldn't be dealing with the Akatsuki, Orochimaru was a good guy, my parents, Nawaki, Dan, the last war wouldn't have even existed, Dan was Hokage, you were his wife, I had siblings we, were happy, Naruto's parents weren't dead, he and Kushina we're both Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails, everyone was legit happy." I say and Lady Tsunade nods.

"And you?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

I smile. "I was travelling with my boyfriend." I say to her and Lady Tsunade nods.

"That must have been some dream, I don't think I'd want to leave it either." Lady Tsunade says to me.

"Yeah, it felt perfect, but, one thing woke me up, I fell down the Tenchi Bridge Ravine because I tripped on a rock while my boyfriend was filming me, be, weird, I died in that dream because of a dumb mistake." I say and Lady Tsunade nods. "What a way to end a dream." I say as I run a hand through my hair.

"Well, now what?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

I shrug. "We wait, I guess, that, or I go and start gathering information so we aren't caught with our pants down again." I say to her and Lady Tsunade nods.

"Yeah, but, wouldn't you want to stay in the village?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

"I don't know, that's for you to decide, after all, your the Hokage, I stand with your wishes and I fall with them, I follow your orders." I say to her.

"Well then, what do you want to do?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

"I'd like, to find the guy who was supposedly my boyfriend in that dream, so I can give him a nice punch to the face and then throw him down the ravine, that was too much mush and lovey dovey crap in that dream, I couldn't be bothered to actually do that stuff." I say to her and she laughs.

"You know that happens in a relationship right?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

I roll my eyes. "I'm too serious for that, you know that." I say to her and Lady Tsunade nods.

"Yeah, but, a relationship would be good for you, loosen you up, make you more, relaxed." Lady Tsunade says to me.

I shrug. "I don't care about that stuff, I'm married to my job." I say to her and I lean backwards on the couch with my arms crossed over my chest and I scowl up at my ceiling. "Though, the thought of having someone always by side, even at the end of the line, supporting every dumb mistake I make, and arguing with me about what to eat for dinner or who should cook, kissing me every night and every morning, it would be nice, but, I don't think anyone could date someone who is as serious as me." I say and Lady Tsunade laughs.

"There's always someone who will love you for you." Lady Tsunade says to me and I snort.

"Maybe in some other dimension or in years past, there's no way someone in this era would think about it." I say and I join Lady Tsunade on the couch.

"The best part of a relationship, is when you feel safe with your significant other, when they're holding you in their arms, protecting you from any possible danger, shielding you from the outside world, making you temporarily forget about your problems, when your safe, all you think about is them and they you." Lady Tsunade says to me as she hugs me with one arm.

"Sappy crap." I mutter, imagining it.

After a while, Lady Tsunade leaves and I change into a dark blue tank top and black leggings. I put on my ninja sandals and I grab my katana and I head to my training ground and I start training, ignoring everything and everyone around me as I take out my feelings and everything else on the tree.

"You'd think she's angry with those punches." Naruto says to a few others and someone stops my next punch and I stop.

"Good, you stopped." Kakashi says to me with a closed eyed smile.

"I'm gonna wipe that smile right off your face, as you can see, I want to take my emotions and feels out on this tree, and you will not interfere as I do so unless you want a broken nose or a dislocated shoulder." I say to Kakashi who just gives me his closed eyed smile.

"That's not nice." Kakashi says to me and I scowl at him. "Don't go being a teenager on us, your an adult now, 18 if I'm correct, oldest of your year?" Kakashi asks me and I uppercut him in annoyance and he flies back.

"Fuck you Kakashi, I'm not in the mood." I say once he lands.

"She really isn't Senpai." Yamato says to him.

"She has to continue teaching me though." Naruto says and I roll my eyes.

"Come find me when you cut the Leaf in half." I say and Naruto holds up a leaf that is cut in half and I sigh. "You know, those two Jonin behind you, can teach you, they're just passing their work off onto me." I say to Naruto while the Jonin just stare at me in betrayal and Naruto grins at me.

"Thanks Tatsu." Naruto says and hauls them away.

I go back to training and after a while, I head home and I lay on my couch with Panda on my chest and I pet her as I watch TV.

Three Day's Later

I sit in the training grounds, watching Naruto trying to cut a waterfall when a Jonin gets here and informs Yamato of something and Naruto jumps down and we walk over.

"What was that about?" Kakashi asks him.

"Asuma Sarutobi, is dead." Yamato says to us.

My and Naruto's eyes widen considerably.

"I'm done, screw this, I'm gonna go check on Shikamaru." I say and Kakashi sweat drops as I grab my katana and I start walking.

I head to Shikamaru's, and I wait outside, leaning against the wall as I wait and Yoshino walks out and see's me.

"Who are you waiting for?" Yoshino asks me.

"Shikamaru, so I can hit him upside the head and then pat his shoulder and leave." I say and she nods.

"Why?" Yoshino asks me.

"You'll hear about it from Shikaku soon enough." I say and she nods and goes back inside.

I wait for a little while and Shikamaru gets here and see's me waiting and I cross my arms over my chest.

"You idiot." I say and he just grunts.

"I don't need this right now." Shikamaru says to me.

I stare at him calmly. "I know, but you need to hear it, I know what happens in a genius brain, your blaming yourself, your thinking about revenge, I know it, so quit it, I don't need to go after another Sasuke." I say to him and Shikamaru tries walking past me, but I hold my arm out. "I'm not done yet." I say and Shikamaru just stares at me and I can see the pain, well hidden behind his eyes and I soften a bit. "Look, I may not know how you feel right now, since I've never lost a teacher that close, I can only imagine how I would feel if I lost Jiraiya or Guy-Sensei, just know, that if you ever need to talk, there's always someone to talk to, if you ever want to explain how you feel, or just take your emotions out, its just a simple question, 'will you listen to me?' just, don't go about this the wrong way, your smart." I say and Shikamaru nods and I place my hand on his shoulder and I look Shikamaru in the eyes. "See ya around Shikamaru." I say as I walk past and he nods and I hit him upside the head and he just rolls his eyes.

"Troublesome woman." Shikamaru says to me.

I walk back to the training grounds where everyone is still at.

"And she's back." Kakashi says looking at me and I shrug and I take my place on my bench and I watch Naruto for a while.

I watch and later that day, he cuts the water fall and I clap.

"Awesome job Naruto, now Kakashi can take it from here, but, take a break, Yamato is dying." I say to Naruto and he nods and releases his clones disappear and Kakashi catches him and I see something wrong with Naruto and I smile amused as Kakashi brings him down.

"He's hungry." Kakashi says to me.

"Then we go to Ichiraku's." I say to him and Yamato gets up and we head to Ichiraku's and I notice something different as Naruto complains about how hungry he is and I sweat drop. "Where's the ramen?" I ask Teuchi.

"We've turned into a dipping noodles shop, there is no ramen." Ayame says to me excited.

I deadpan. "I'm gonna go get some sandwiches." I say and I turn around. "I only came to drop Naruto off with these two buffoon's, I want to relax at my apartment." I say with a wave of my hand.

"Wait! You must try our dipping noodles! They are better than ramen!" Ayame says to me.

I shrug. "Nah, I'll just take your word for it." I say and I walk out of the shop with a small wave and I head to the sandwich shop where I get my usual and I head to the pie shop and the owner looks at me surprised.

"Tatsuyu? You only come here on special days, did something good happen?" He asks me.

"I just feel like treating myself today, needless, but, I've been busy helping Naruto with his training, and I'm rewarding myself for my patience with him." I say and he chuckles.

"Yeah, your patience is limited, well, which pie would you like today?" He asks me.

"2 Apples, fresh out of he oven." I say to him and he chuckles.

"Yeah, that seems to be your favorite, isn't it?" He asks me.

"You always make that one better than the others." I say to him with a small shrug and he gets me the slices in a small take out box. "Thank you." I say to him with a smile and he nods as I walk out of the shop and I head to the Hokage office and I knock.

"Enter."

I walk in to see Lady Tsunade there as I smile at her. "Lady Tsunade, you seem stressed." I say to her as I walk over and she pouts.

"I can't help it I am stressed." Lady Tsunade says to me and I set down a plate with a sandwich and some pie. "What's this for?" She asks me.

"Just though I'd pick up lunch for the both of us." I say to her as I sit in the chair next to her with my legs crossed.

"Well thank you, what do you want?" Lady Tsunade asks me and I roll my eyes.

"Just eat, you need to eat to, everyone needs a break after all, and I've been dealing with Naruto for the past couple days with out a break." I say and she rolls her eyes this time and we both start eating.

"How is Naruto's training going?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

"Well, he's getting more efficient with his wind chakra, he was able to cut a waterfall earlier, next step is creating his new Jutsu." I say to her.

"I see, and do you have any idea what that may be and how long its gonna take?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

"Lady Tsunade, if I had to guess, he's gonna base this Jutsu off the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan, but, I could be totally wrong as well, knowing him, he'll work until he's too exhausted to move." I say and she nods.

"But how long?" Lady Tsunade asks me.

"I don't know, after all, it took me months to make each original, it could take a while before his Jutsu is finished, if I had to estimate, it'd be a couple days at best with his clones, of course, he always exceeds us, so, tomorrow morning at best." I say and Lady Tsunade nods.

"Alright." Lady Tsunade says to me.

We finish eating and I take our stuff. "See you later Lady Tsunade." I say to her with a smile.

"Alright, thanks for the food Tatsuyu." Lady Tsunade says to me and I nod.

"Anytime Lady Tsunade, just make sure you don't overwork yourself." I say to her and she nods and I leave the room and I throw the trash away. I head back to the training area to see Naruto and his clones working on his new Jutsu and I take my place on my bench and I continue reading my book.

"You know, its scary how similar Tatsu is to Kakashi-Sensei." Naruto says to Yamato.

"How is she similar to him?" Yamato asks.

"Jutsu look at them." Naruto says and me and Kakashi look over at the same time, freaking Naruto out.

"I don't look like pirate over there." I say to Naruto.

"And I'm not a girl." Kakashi says to him.

"Your both laying in similar positions while reading! You both have white hair and your both lazy and sleepy and disinterested in things and so calm about every situation, I haven't seen Tatsu freak out once and the same with you Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto yells at us.

"His hair is silver for one, for two, I'm not lazy, for three I can be disinterested at times but I take things seriously and for four, I'm gonna kill you for those comments." I say to Naruto and I he has his clones surround him. "How about a spar Naruto? Nin-Jutsu and Tai-Jutsu, simple." I say to him with a friendly smile, only freaking him out more.

"YOUR GONNA KILL ME!" Naruto yells at me.

"Its a spar, no killing aloud, but if you accidentally drown, then." I say and Kakashi and Yamato stay away from me.

"Sadist." Yamato mutters and Kakashi nods in agreement.

I get up and I put my book on the bench I was laying on and I walk out into the field. "I'll give you a handicap, I can't use my 12 original's, I can't use the shadow clone Jutsu, and I can't use chakra when I do Tai-Jutsu, so only brute force." I say and Naruto nods.

Naruto's clones attack me all at once and my hands glow green as I get into a Tai-Jutsu stance similar to Neji's and I defeat all his clones while Naruto just stares at me shocked as I stand there, with out a scratch.

"That's similar to Neji's stance." Naruto says shocked and I nod as I stand up straight.

"I'm on the same team as him, thankfully, otherwise, I'm pretty sure I would have been killed by him if weren't." I say and I punch the ground and it rumbles and Naruto wobbles back and forth.

"You said you weren't going to use chakra with your Tai-Jutsu!" Naruto yells at me.

"I'm not." I say to him with a smirk and I rush at him with my katana and he hastily blocks it with a kunai and we clash back and forth a few times before I knock the kunai out of his hand and I pin Naruto to the ground. "I win." I say to him with a smile until I realize a clone is behind me and curse under my breath, but my water clone appears behind the clone.

"You said you couldn't use the Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto says struggling under me and I smirk.

"I'm not, I'm using the Water Clone Jutsu." I say and he just gawks at me, before kicking me off and I slide in a crouching position and Naruto knocks my katana out of my hand and I dodge his kick, but moving to the right and I jump up in the air quickly and Naruto looks around and I land a crushing kick into the ground, and the ground cracks and rumbles and breaks under Naruto and he frantically gets out of there while Yamato and Kakashi are watching us.

"Even when she's handicapped she's keeping her own." Yamato says to Kakashi who nods.

I dodge Naruto's clone by jumping back over it and I land on the ground in a crouching position and I place my right hand on the ground and I kick Naruto back as I jump back and I get pinned to the ground by Naruto's clones and I breath heavily as I look up at him as he grins at me.

"If you went all out, I wouldn't have won." Naruto says to me with a grin.

"That, and I decided not to kill you." I say and he calls his clones off and helps me up. "You need to work on your battle strategies." I say as I grab my katana and I sheath it.

"Yeah, I guess so." Naruto says laughing nervously.

"Now, back to work." I say and Naruto nods and I sit back in my seat and I continue reading while watching Naruto.

"So, what was the point of that spar?" Kakashi asks me.

"Relieving stress, he was at a breaking point and needed a break." I say with a small shrug and Kakashi nods.
