[Story Start]

Naruto sighed. He was bored, and his head hurt. He could walk or run for far longer than a day if he really had to, but it was still wasn't all that pleasant. Eventually, Jiraiya had called a halt to their search for Tsunade who had most likely survived her encounter with Orochmaru as there weren't any bodies or blood in the area surrounding the shattered wall near the ruins of the castle which were more than likely filled with dead tourists.

It was possible that Tsunade had been one of the tourists that had been inside the landmark at the time the castle was destroyed, but Jiraiya said that that was highly unlikely since the wall had appeared to have been her work rather than Orochimaru's.

They walked into a pub for dinner. He was half expecting the owner to shoo him out as they did so. It was pretty much only in Konoha and probably the other ninja villages that "children" didn't get shooed out of the bars.

In Konoha, if you had a hitai-ate, you could pretty much go anywhere that wasn't restricted to "Authorized Personnel Only". While Genin weren't allowed alcohol, they were allowed to sit with their Chunin friends who were, and if the Chunin happened to slip their friend a drink, well, it didn't usually get commented on.

As luck, or perhaps Jiraiya's Chakra sensing abilities when it came to teammates and others who had been close to him would have it, Tsunade happened to be in the bar Jiraiya had selected in the process of getting completely wasted. They moved to sit with her and ordered.

He decided to use the meal to get a better understanding of his new Hokage who had once been one of the Old Man's students the same as Jiraiya and Orochimaru. As he studied his new Hokage, he noticed that he could see a bit of Hashirama about her, especially around the nose and the mouth, though she bore a stronger resemblance to her maternal grandmother Uzumaki Mito.

She had her father's hair color however. She seemed unhappy, and he had a feeling that it had something to do with her encounter with Orochimaru which she hadn't really seemed to want to talk about.

Throughout the meal, Jiraiya kept serving Tsunade sake, even though she didn't need any more, and would quite likely end up with alcohol poisoning if she continued to drink at the rate she had been during the meal and before it if the number of empty bottles of sake in front of her were any indication. Oddly enough, it seemed as if Jiraiya were bracing himself for something as the meal continued.

After a while, Jiraiya and Tsunade were done eating, Tsunade asked what Jiraiya wanted with her, and he informed her. She did not appear to be pleased with the news. If it had been him, he would have been jumping around in joy, not shuffling a deck of cards for a game with Jiraiya and almost calmly discussing the Old Man's death as if she hadn't really cared either way.

As Tsunade and Jiraiya sat there almost calmly playing cards, Jiraiya asked her what her answer to the village's request that she become Hokage would be.

He knew that people said things they didn't mean when they were drunk, but insulting all four of the previous Hokage and the village and saying the mean things she had said about his father, the Old Man, and Madara-sensei?

[Naruto P.O.V]

"This bitch is going to be Hokage?" I asked while she was talking about the job being nothing but trouble.

"You want someone like her in charge of the village? The only good I see coming out of that would be the fact that the village needs a Kage right now. That is, until I'm old enough to do the job."

"You, the Hokage? Ha!" Tsunade laughed as she grabbed her cup of sake.

"I would be a better Hokage then you" I glared at her, sharingan blazing. She flinched back, eyes widened before narrowing.

"How do you have that? You shouldn't have those; you are clearly not an Uchiha!" She questioned me.

I rolled my eyes, "My names Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Uchiha. I will not tell you how I have Uchiha blood in me, or how I have the sharingan. Just know I didn't steal them or inject an Uchiha's blood in me. Maybe I'll let you in on the secret when you become Hokage."

I knew she would be interested in being Hokage now; her curiosity was shinning in her eyes.

"Fight me!"

I raised my eyebrow at her," why would I do that?" She smirked, "If you didn't steal the eyes then it won't be a toll on your body, that's if they are real. You're no Uchiha, don't claim to be one."

That old Bitch just did not.

My eye twitched and played the card of the dumb dead last.

"You damn old hag! TAKE THAT BACK, YOU OLD BAT! I AM A UCHIHA!" I played like I was pissed.

She smirked, "Let's make a deal, you beat me in a fight and I will take my words back!"

I nod my head and look over at pervy-sage, he looked nervous. I smirked at him before walking out side behind Tsunade.

"Hehe, Tsunade please don't." he tried to warn her, but she scowls at him.

"He's just a brat; I'll teach him a lesson. I promise not to break too many bones."

She cracks her knuckles, then motions for me to "come at her".

[Time Skip]

I half preformed the rasengan and shoved it straight into her stomach, making sure to dodge anything fatal

"I win; now take back what you said!" I growl out.

She narrows her eyes, "It was a draw!" My form turns black and the temperature drops some degrees, my dead eyes gazed into hers.

"Do you honestly believe I was using my full strength?" I leaked out my ki. I saw her shiver at its malicious intent.

She sighs, before taking the words back. She smiles, "How about another deal, if you can complete the rasengan in a week I'll give you my necklace and consider becoming Hokage.

[Tsunade P.O.V]

I jumped over a building on my way to my former teammate. I had to end this. No matter how hard I pretend I don't care about the village, I can't help but avenge lord 3rd.

He was like family to me, Orochimaru will pay.

Scarlet here!

I know I went complete MIA on you guys and I'm super sorry about that! I honestly have no true reason for that but the simple fact I didn't feel like writing. The good news is I'm out of school (till next year) and I will probably be a little more active. Instagram has basically become my life and I'm super sorry about leaving you guys like that!
