The Legendary Sucker

Author's Note: Oh man. I'm sorry I took so long updating. First I accidentally tied myself up with plot, and then I ended up getting out of that and writing a whole lot more. Everything was going great until I accidentally pulled out the power cord from my laptop resulting in a drop of power, which resulted in the file becoming corrupt. Luckily enough all of the text was still there and the only difference was that I had two or three pages of code switched out for things like quotation marks, or paragraph braks, just the important shit. Now that I've taken all of the code crap out, my eyes hurt, I am however, going to finish writing.

I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed my story. I can't say I had really expected as much support as I had gotten for this story, but it looks like this little idea wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be.

Anyway, this chapter is for the Naruto/Sakura lovers out there, because I'm sure some of you are out there. I know that there were a few requests for some of the Shizune love, but I had already figured out this chapter, as well as the next two. Maybe there will be some Shizune love in chapter 5.

I had been rolling around two ideas for this title. While "A Legendary Apprentice" has been the working title, even now while I'm almost done I'm not sure I might change it to "Double or Nothing" I will have decided by the end of the story, because I like little tie ins, but I'm considering keeping it as "A Legendary Apprentice" and trying to get a theme going with the word "legendary" sort of like there is in my other story "Best Plans to Get Laid", which I suggest you read if you enjoyed this story, since I really enjoyed writing that one so far.

I probably would have finished this a week ago as well, but my laptop has been unusually flakey lately. Sorry again. I really didn’t want to keep all of you waiting.

The Legendary Sucker

2 : A Legendary Apprentice

A gentle breeze blew through the village of Konoha. It was a nice warm day, and really no one had been able to complain about it so far. The only problem had been that things had been very dull and boring lately. There had been a drop in the amount of missions. There were still more than enough missions to generate income for the village, but it seemed that the only things that the people of Konoha were needed for were simple missions like retrieving runaway cats, picking up trash, and escorting people who were in no real danger of being attacked by much of anything or anyone. As a result, the missions were all very easy, and very quick, or at least were most of the time. As a result, everyone had a lot more time to themselves, and for ninjas who already had plenty of time to themselves, the lull in missions was something that could drive someone a bit stir crazy.

The Hokage's office, which, like the rest of the village, had been so quiet up to the day before was now abuzz with conversation. Jiraiya was now standing in front of the Hokage's desk, watching the blond haired, brown eyed woman as she counted through the money that she had won in her bet, making sure thall of the five grand was there. Meanwhile, Jiraiya seemed to be talking about something, having a conversation that Tsunade had to admit she really wasn't paying that much attention to. From how well Tsunade knew her sannin partner, she knew that really anything he said was meant to be taken with a grain of salt anyway. In the end he was just a pervert and wanted to do a little bit more of his 'research'. She could think of no reason that she would have to listen to the pervert as he talked about all of the research that he could get done in the village of Konoha, especially since she had already told him that she wasn't going to stand for his voyeurism or perverted actions on several occasions before.

Jiraiya smiled softly as he looked at Tsunade for a few more moments while she continued to count all of her money, "You haven't been listening to a single word that I have said have you?" He chuckled softly as suddenly Tsunade flushed a bit, "I suppose you wouldn't be though. You're probably still thinking about the taste of the kid's-"

Tsunade's hand came smashing against her solid wooden desk making a loud, and very angry sounding noise. The white haired sannin on the other side of the desk suddenly stopped talking as he was met with Tsunade's angry brown eyes, "Don't Jiraiya. Don't." Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and looked like he was going to continue on the discussion for a moment anyway before he shrugged softly and then walked back to the corner of the room where he leaned back against it. He smiled softly before looking back at her.

There were finally a few moments of silence with in the Hokage's office as Jiraiya simply watched Tsunade and she glared daggers at him. How dare he try to accuse her of something like that. How dare he. Her brown eyes were narrowed dangerously as they scanner Jiraiya's smug form. He'd regret testing her like that one day. Oh she would find a way to make sure that he regretted all the times that he had pushed her, and tried to figure out which buttons would make her explode with anger. She slowly lifted her hand up from the desk and slowly started to count the bills that Jiraiya had paid up for loosing his bet, "Why are you so smug anyway? You lost your bet, Jiraiya."

Jiraiya chuckled softly. He had indeed had to pay out the five thousand ryo, but he had earned something that was just as valuable. He smiled and spoke softly, "I may have had to pay out a bit of money, but in the end, I proved that Konoha's legendary sucker still has her stuff." He smiled and looked away from her for a moment, "Did the kid tell you how the conversation came up?"

Tsunade was now counting the bills with angry pulls, slapping them down against the table after she had counted them with a little bit more force than was really necessary. Jiraiya was quickly getting on her nerves. He had always had the uncanny ability to bother her, and wear away at her until she snapped. She wondered if he was trying, or if it was just some strange sort of luck, "Naruto said it had something to do with Sakura, but he wasn't very clear. I assume he said something about her and you went off on one of your perverted tangents."

The chuckling white haired sannin watched Tsunade with his dark eyes before speaking again, "That wasn't exactly how it had came about. Actually, I had mentioned something about it, and had been wondering out loud if while you had been training that pink haired girl to be a medical ninja, that you might have also been planning to pass your title onto her." He smirked, and looked back to Tsunade, "I suppose the kid really is a lucky one if you are."

Tsunade's eyes had suddenly grown wide. Training Sakura...to take my title...as legendary sucker...what does Jiraiya think I am... She looked at Jiraiya in disbelief for a few moments and then shook her head for a moment chuckling softly. Obviously her old team-mate was trying to joke around with her or something. This was just another one of Jiraiya's perverted jokes, meant to get some sort of reaction from her. She went back to counting her ryo, "You really are a funny one, Jiraiya." She continued to chuckle softly as her skilful fingers slipped through the bills in her other hand, slowly placing them on the pile that she was making on the table.

Jiraiya's laughter had stopped. He looked over to Tsunade and spoke with a calm and soft voice, "Really, there is no reason to laugh at that. I really don't see anything funny about it at all." He sighed softly and raised an eyebrow, "I thought that you might be planning on handing down that information along with the rest of your skills as a medical ninja was all. It isn't really anything to laugh about." He slowly pushed off of the wall, taking a few steps away from it.

The bills had stopped piling up on Tsunade's desk. It wasn't because she was done. Tsunade's hands had frozen in mid count. Her eyes looked down blankly at the pile of bills for a moment before looking up to Jiraiya. There was no way that he could actually be serious about all of this, was there? He was just joking around with her, trying to get some kind of reaction. He was just trying to see how far he could push this little joke with her, trying to get her to respond somehow so that he could jump up and claim that she was just as much a pervert as he was or something. That seemed like his style, yeah. She watched him standing there for a moment, and could see no sign of a joke on his face. His lips hadn't curled up into a slight smile, he hadn't started any of his little twitches when he was telling a joke. There was nothing on his face but the same serious expression as he looked at Tsunade's wall.

"To be honest I hadn't really thought about my title until you had brought it up again." She slowly started counting her bills again, not looking up to the white haired ninja. She knew that her answer had been carefully enough worded that she wouldn't have actually said anything that could let the other ninja jump up with a witty comment that he had been able to come up with.

Jiraiya's dark eyes slowly turned to focus on Tsunade, "Tsunade. You are a medical ninja, you should know all too well that all work and no play is not healthy. I would have thought that to give her a break from all of this training you would have gotten her to do something fun." He sighed and shook his head, "I'll bet the girl hasn't had a break in a while, and if she is anything like Naruto I'm sure I can guess why." Tsunade's eyes turned up at that, "I had to convince Naruto that breaks were as important as training was, and even had to convince him a few times that his rest periods were training."

"So what are you suggesting?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow and looked down to the bills in front of her, "I'm not sure I understand how this all fits together."

Jiraiya smiled softly, "Well, what I was thinking was that you teach her a fun technique. It doesn't have to be useful in battle, after all, I can't imagine the kid's sexy jutsu ever being useful in battle, but it certainly is fun, and almost always makes him laugh." He smiled softly as he looked at Tsunade who had sighed softly.

After a few more minutes of silence Tsunade slowly looked up at Jiraiya, "So really what you are saying is that you think I should pass on my skills as Konoha's legendary sucker to Sakura because you think she might enjoy it and think it is fun?" She shook her head and looked back down to the bills that she was counting, "Not everyone is as much of a pervert as you are Jiraiya."

Jiraiya chuckled softly, "Ah, but that is the important part in all of this. She doesn't need to be as perverted as me to find your techniques fun and enjoyable Tsunade. She just has to be as perverted as you. From what I' ve seen of this pink haired Sakura girl, she is almost exactly like you in every other way." He smiled softly as he walked over to Tsunade's desk, "Or maybe the problem is that you think that this skill isn't something that your apprentice can handle?"

"That isn't what this is about Jiraiya." Tsunade slowly finished counting her bills and then looked up at the other sannin.

Jiraiya smiled softly, "So what is this about then? You were so impressed with the kid that you don't want to share? Are you afraid of a little competition if someone else gets the skills of Konoha's legendary sucker, and are worried that if you loose that title that things could go down hill for you? Maybe your title just makes you feel young again, and you can't stand the idea that someone younger may be just as capable?"

Tsunade's brows furrowed in frustration, "Shut up Jiraiya."

"Well, I guess that has to be it, then, doesn't it." Jiraiya smiled softly, "Or maybe the reason is that you can't pass on your skills. Maybe you just aren't teacher enough to do it. I'd bet that's it."

Tsunade scowled, "I could teach her to be the next legendary by the end of the week if I wanted to!"

Jiraiya smiled softly as he leaned over the desk and placed his hand on the money that Tsunade had counted out, and then he said the words that made Tsunade's heart drop, "Double or nothing."

***

Strewn throughout the Hokage's library were several books, some opened to seemingly random pages, and some simply piled on top of each other. Sitting in the middle of this chaos, slowly flipping through a book, was a pink haired kunoichi. The girl's mint green eyes slowly scanned the page that she was looking at, but in truth, the girl hadn't really been reading anything that was there. This was all part of her training, and she knew that she should have been pulled into it, desperate to finish her training and become the very best medical ninja that she was capable of being, but in the end, Sakura really just was bored out of her mind. The training recently had all been menial research tasks, where she would be sent into the library for a day, told to research something, and then get to make a report on it at the end of the day when she was invited back into Tsunade's office. In truth, it wasn't that Sakura didn't care about the training, but rather that she had already completed it several days ago because her training had been so simple that she had read ahead. Now she was simply putting in time until she could wander back into the Hokage's office and say that she did indeed know what it was that she had been told to study.

Normally Sakura would have just bit the bullet and done even more studying, after all, one could never bee too prepared when they were a medical ninja, and you never could tell when your opponent might try to use some sort of abstract attack idea that she hadn't been taught yet. Today was very different than most days though. The previous afternoon, while Sakura had been out, trying to find a good place to have some dinner, she had run into none other than the loudmouth blond ninja, Naruto, and then something had changed deep inside of her. She couldn't be absolutely sure what it was that had changed, but it was like flicking a switch. Suddenly she didn't want to spend all of this time sitting in the Hokage's library, reading up on illnesses that she would probably never encounter, and even if she did, probably not have the experience to be able to treat it safely. She just wanted to run around free like Naruto did, and train like the blond boy did.

The pages on the book in Sakura's lap flipped quickly as a gentle breeze blew in through an open window between a set of book cases. Sakura looked up to the window, smiling softly as she thought about what it might be like to just be able to get up, jump out of that window and fly away. She could fly over and see what it was that the blond ninja who had just come back the other day was doing right now. She could fly around and see what else was going on in the village with just a glance. For a moment she thought that she might fly off to see Sasuke, but her mind quickly dismissed that idea. The Uchiha had left her, he had turned his back on the village and left everything behind. Sakura couldn't pretend that she didn't think about the dark haired, aloof ninja anymore. She couldn't pretend that she didn't wonder sometimes what life would have been like for her if the Sharingan user was still here with her, but she never let her mind focus on the idea of what could have happened in a different world.

Sakura sighed softly and closed the book that had been sitting on her lap. It had been a rough time on her after Naruto had left. When she had first been assigned to her ninja team she had been less than ecstatic to be on the same team as Naruto, but had been overwhelmed to find herself on the same team as the most attractive young ninja in Konoha. She had thought that everything would be amazing, and that Sasuke would always jump up and defend her with his amazing skills. What had happened was very different in the end though. In the end the only person who had jumped up to defend her, the one who had always been there, the one that would always cheer her up with that goofy smile, had been none other than Naruto. He had even gone off to find Sasuke for her, promising to bring him back for her. Naruto had always been the one to be there for her. When she had lost Sasuke it had nearly torn her apart. It had been like loosing a family member. When Naruto had left her too, she had poured herself into her studies, determined to become the best medical ninja she could be. She had been upset, and to hide her emotions she had pushed herself into her work. Now Naruto was back, and she didn't need to hide herself in her training anymore.

The pink haired shinobi slowly pushed herself to her feet, a headache slowly starting just behind her eyes from all of the reading that she had been doing and the copious amounts of dust that she had exposed herself to in flipping through the man old books that sat in the Hokage's library. She brought her hand to her forehead for a moment, trying to clear her thoughts. What she really needed to do was get out of this stuffy library for a while and walk around the outside world. Tsunade wouldn't mind if she took a little bit of a break for a while. She was sure that the Hokage would understand, after all, everyone needed to take a break sometimes. It wasn't healthy to overwork yourself. Sakura nodded to herself and put her book on the top of a pile beside her and then dusted herself off before heading out to find the blond ninja that was still running through her thoughts.

As Sakura thought about the position that she was in, and what it was that she wanted to do, she brought her hand up, pushing some of her pink hair behind her ear. Since she had already learned what she was supposed to be researching today anyway, she could probably just talk to Tsunade about it, and take the day off. He was sure that the kage would be more than understanding about the whole thing, and would probably give her the whole day off. Tsunade was understanding, she would let her pupil have a day off. It wasn't like anything else was happening these days anyway. He actually thought that Tsunade might be happy to have a visitor other than Shizune for once. The pink haired ninja smiled softly and turned and walked out of the library, closing the door behind her softly with a slight click. Maybe this whole day wouldn't end up being wasted in a stuffy old library after all.

***

Tsunade looked up as the door to her office was open and the bubblegum haired kunoichi walked in. Jiraiya had slipped out a little earlier, leaving her to think about how she was going to push the writer's perversions onto the innocent and naive Sakura. The first question that she had started dealing with was how it was that she was going to convince Sakura that something like this was more important that training her medical skills, after all it seemed that Sakura had really started dedicating herself to becoming the best medical ninja that she could be. To be completely honest, Tsunade was a little bit surprised to see that Sakura had pulled herself away from the library, but was quick to make it into a connection with the return of the loudmouth blond, who had once been her teammate. She supposed that things like that really did stick, and whatever friendship the two had built was definitely strong enough to last through a period of absence. She wondered for a moment if it was strong enough to survive the perverted frog hermit's bets, but was quite sure that the fox boy would have no problem at all getting a little bit of tongue action from the pink haired girl, after all, he had seemed to enjoy it when Tsunade had given him a good suck. She smiled as she pushed those thoughts out of her mind and laced her fingers as she looked up at Sakura, "Was there something that you needed?"

Sakura sighed softly before bringing her hand to the back of her head. This had seemed like such a good idea until she had gotten here. She had thought it would just be a simple task, she would wander in, ask for some free time, and then she would be able to just skip off on her marry way and she wouldn't have to worry about all of the tension of trying to come up with a reason that she needed a break. Right now she was faced with a few options, tell the whole truth, tell a partial truth, or try and lie her way out. While she didn't want to tell the whole truth, since that involved saying she wanted to go see Naruto, which would involve an awkward conversation, and much humiliation on her part, she also didn't want to lie, since she always felt that something in Tsunade's eyes would be able to see right through her and into her soul, far more effectively than even the Hyuuga's Byakugan could, and if Tsunade caught her lying to her, well, that just wasn't a road that Sakura wanted to go down. She chuckled weakly, deciding that a partial truth was the best way out of this unpleasant situation, "To be honest, I think I need a little bit of relaxation time. I have been studying pretty much non-stop since Naruto left." She half-smiled at Tsunade, "I can pick up my training again when I come back."

Tsunade seemed to frown a bit. While she did understand that Sakura had been training and researching since Naruto had left, she also knew that any of the things she had Sakura studying could be things that she might have to deal with at any time. While all of this fit perfectly into her plan to have Sakura learn a few recreational skills, it still upset Tsunade to see her student not taking her training seriously. This was the kind of thing that could save lives, and what Sakura was saying right now was that her training could wait another day. People's lives wouldn't wait another day. Enemy shinobi wouldn't wait another day before hurting their people. This training was important, and would not wait another day.

The tension in the room had grown quite a bit. Sakura was sure she had actually felt the temperature in the room jump a few degrees when she was met with Tsunade's fiery, angry eyes. She raised her hands in a defensive 'I surrender' stance and started to speak, a bit faster than was really necessary, "That wasn't what I meant, sensei!" Sakura's face twisted into an expression of fear and panic, "You see, I' ve already been reading ahead, I knew today's skill a few weeks ago, and I didn't tell you because I thought that you would be angry at me for reading ahead when I was supposed to be focusing on perfecting a skill."

Tsunade stopped as she looked at Sakura for a few more moments. The bubblegum haired ninja girl had managed to already learn the skill? Not only that but she had learned it a few weeks ago? Everything that Tsunade had seen Sakura do seemed to be perfect and for the most part flawless, to think that the kunoichi had been perfecting skills to the level that she had been, as well as learning skills that hadn't been assigned to her. It seemed that Sakura was in a class of her own when it came to learning these medical skills. The blond woman smiled softly as she tented her fingers and leaned forward on her chair, "Is that sp." Sakura shuddered. She had seen that kind of expression on Tsunade before, and it had never meant anything good, "Well, it just so happens, that this falls right into schedule. I just recently was alerted to some special training for you." Her smirk grew in mischief value as she gave Sakura a sly look. Sakura was unsure if Tsunade was thinking of some kind of punishment, or actually had some kind of special training for her, but really, she didn't like the look on her teacher's face at all. Somehow, Sakura was very sure that this training that she was about to go through was not going to be something that she would call 'fun'.

***

The streets of Konoha were oddly quiet. In fact, the blond ninja who was now wandering the streets, couldn't remember a time when it had ever been this quiet while he was here. Usually there had been the hustle and bustle of ninja teams as they ran around for training and for missions. Naruto had to suppose that everyone was off on missions somewhere else, and this was why there were no ninjas roaming the street other than him, because they simply weren't here on this day, and were instead, off doing important missions. He really wouldn't have minded that the normally busy and loud streets of had become eerily quiet, if it hadn't been for the fact that since his return, Naruto had a horrible feeling that something was terribly wrong. It had peaked just before he had gone into the kage's building and after that, well, things had been very strange indeed. He had supposed originally that the pervy sage had something to do with that particular encounter though, and now that they had done their little joking pick fun at each other trick the older man would probably leave Naruto alone, at least for a little while.

Now that Naruto had thought about it, he wasn't sure where the frog hermit had gone to. It seemed that as soon as they had come into town and gone their separate ways, the white haired sannin had vanished completely. Naruto shrugged as the thought quickly vanished from his mind. The pervy sage was probably off somewhere writing his books or jerking off. Naruto sighed softly at that thought. It seemed that Jiraiya always had something that was more important than his training.

Naruto had run his mind over things that he could do for a while, and he had come up with pretty much nothing. After taking a few minutes to think about it a bit more, he had decided that the best use of his time would be if he were to go to the kage's office to see if there were any available missions for him. That would give him something to do, and would allow him to train as he ran around to do the mission. In the end that was really all he wanted, was an opportunity to train. He sighed softly and brought his hand to the back of his head, rubbing it for a few minutes while he tried to think.

"Hmmm...I could go get a mission...but I'm a bit embarrassed to be thinking about visiting Tsunade ba-chan again after..." He shivered as his mind ran over the experience of the last time that he had gone to the kage's office. He was still quite sure that the pervy sage had something to do with it, but hadn't been able to prove it, and he hadn't been able to ask the frog hermit i he had anything to do with it, since he hadn't seen Jiraiya since they had arrived in the village. Maybe that was why Jiraiya had disappeared as quickly as he had, some sort of sneaking away plan so that he wouldn't have to explain anything to the fox boy.

Naruto had stood there for a few more minutes, silently contemplating all of this for a few more minutes before deciding that it was really in his best interest to go see the kage, since she was his best hope at getting something to do, even if it was only for a while. He sighed and then started heading towards the kage's tower, knowing that his only chance of getting something to do rested there. He slipped his hands into his pockets and sighed softly, "Well...I guess I would have had to have gone off to see her again eventually."

***

Sakura stared at Tsunade, her mouth agape. She tried to form words, unsure of what to say to everything that she had just heard Tsunade say. All that Sakura had managed to do was stare at the Hokage, her mint green eyes wide in a mixture of shock, and pure, horror. Her lips continued to move, her mouth, opening and closing, but no sound escaped her mouth. Tsunade just sat back in her chair, looking both content and comfortable with how things had just happened, and the reaction that Sakura still seemed to be having to finding out what her new assignment was. She had tented her fingers in front of her again, as she looked at the medical ninja who seemed to be at a loss for words, her chocolate brown eyes taking in the expression that her apprentice now had plastered on her face.

It was at this point that Sakura finally managed to speak, "You...you can't be serious..."

Tsunade looked at Sakura for a few moments, a soft smirk resting upon her lips as she thought about the best way to answer Sakura's question, "I assure you, Sakura. I am quite serious."

Sakura stood up, slapping both of her hands down hard against the kage's desk, staring at her with disbelief, anger, horror, "You, can't! What does this have to do with any of my other training!? How will...how will it help me to become a better medical ninja!?" She starred at Tsunade, hoping with everything that she was that this was some sort of terrible joke that was being played on her. There was no way that this sort of thing could be serious. Tsunade was just trying to push her buttons, reading the way that she would react. This was just some sort of way to see what Sakura would do in a stressful situation, it was some sort of test, or something. That was it. there was no way that a field medic was going to have a stress free environment to use her skills, it was just a way to make sure that Sakura wouldn't snap under pressure, and right now she was failing the test. She took a step back and sat down again, "How does this help?"

Tsunade smiled softly, "That should be a very easy question to answer, Sakura." She leaned forward a bit on her desk smiling at Sakura for a few more moments, "The job of a medical ninja is to make people feel better, Sakura. Because of this, you should be knowledgeable in all of the possible ways to make people feel good." Sakura looked like she was about to make a comment but was quickly cut down by Tsunade who continued, "Up until now I have only had to read up on such information, but textbooks can't teach us everything, as I'm sure you are well aware Sakura."

Sakura stared at Tsunade for a few more moments and said nothing. It seemed that there would be no way of getting out of this little bit of training. She sighed softly as she looked at Tsunade for a few more moments before shaking her head slowly, "Alright then. It doesn't look like I have much of a choice in the matter anyway, does it?" She was a little bit disappointed that she couldn't convince her teacher to see things from her perspective and understand why it was that Sakura was at least a little bit reluctant to start on this new training that Tsunade thought would be so important for her on the path to becoming a good medical ninja. While she was disappointed with how Tsunade couldn't see how Sakura felt, and was reluctant to follow through with this out of the ordinary training, she also respected Tsunade's judgment, and was willing to follow through with the training if Tsunade really thought it was that important.

The older woman clapped her hands together in pure glee, "I'm so glad you decided to see it my way, Sakura." She jumped up and from her desk, smiling broadly at her apprentice, "You are going to be an absolutely amazing medical ninja, you know that?"

The pink haired kunoichi stared at her blond teacher for a few moments, unsure of what was going to happen next. Her mint green eyes focused on Tsunade, waiting for a few more details on her training and receiving none. She blinked slowly before speaking, "Sensei...You haven't really explained this training to me. Am I supposed to be learning on a banana, or something?" She blushed a little, trying not to think about the cylindrical object in the drawer of the bedside table that was in her bedroom. She hoped very much that Tsunade wouldn't pull out something like that object from her desk and demand that she practice on something like that, especially since she knew what she had used the one at home for.

A devious smirk had slipped across Tsunade's lips as she watched her apprentice work out how it was that she was going to develop this skill. She spoke softly, "Well, Sakura, a banana wasn't exactly what I had in mind." She chuckled softly and turned in her chair to look out the window. She had been planning to send Sakura out to find someone who she could practice on, but the question was, who. While it had been Jiraiya's idea to launch this little test on Sakura, he was a bit of a pervert, and setting him loose on her, really was not the best idea. For similar reasons sending her off to see Kakashi probably wasn't the best idea either. Since he always seemed to have his nose pressed into one of Jiraiya's books, Kakashi was without a doubt a bit perverted to be the target for this kind of training, and really, she doubted that he would be all that helpful for Sakura to train on anyway, since he didn't really seem like the kind of guy who would tell someone when they were doing something right, and would probably just tell her to read one of Jiraiya's books, saying that all of the information she would need would be in those writings of a perverted old man. That really for the most part only left the people who were around Sakura's age, since Tsunade had no intention of sending Sakura out to practice on someone who she didn't know.

The Hokage's attention was quickly drawn away from the window by the soft sound of someone gently tapping on her door. She knew immediately that it was none other than Shizune, since she was the only person who ever knocked on her door so politely. Tsunade spoke up, her voice exposing that she wasn't very happy to be interrupted as much as her choice of words, "This had better be important."

Shizune had shuddered visibly as she had opened the door to the Hokage's office and stepped in. She kept her head bowed to the ground, almost as if she was afraid to look up, "M'lady, someone is here to see you."

Tsunade focused her gaze on Sakura, "I am very busy at the moment. Could you tell them to come back later?"

The black haired woman looked up at Tsunade, "I can, but, they are very adamant about seeing you right now." She bowed her head again, "I'll tell them."

Tsunade looked at Shizune for a moment and then sighed softly before slowly taking a step away from her desk. She looked to Sakura, "Stay here until I get back. This shouldn't take very long."

Sakura nodded and swallowed hard as Tsunade started to wander out of the office, leaving her alone. The pink haired medical ninja found herself sitting alone in the office, thinking about the mission that she had just been given. Her mind tried not to focus on the possibility that she was going to be taking a toy that Tsunade had used, and training her oral skills on it. Sakura tried not to think about the idea of tasting her teacher on a toy that she was going to be practicing on, since it both disgusted, and excited her. She would have been much more comfortable if Tsunade had just allowed her to practice on a banana, but then again, she would have been much more comfortable if she hadn't been told to do this training at all. She sighed, hoping this would all at least be over quickly.

The in the waiting room hadn't been what Tsunade had been expecting, but after she had taken a moment to think about it, it really did make sense. She looked at the blond ninja in his orange jacket and pants, his arms crossed over his chest as he looked rather frustrated and upset. She couldn't help but smile at the soft pout that had grown on Naruto's lips as he stood, waiting for someone to come out and talk to him. Naruto had always been like that, always impatient, and always looking for something to do. She chuckled softly, bringing her hand to her forehead. She really didn't have the time for Naruto's banter at the moment. If she took too long Sakura would sneak out of her office and escape, or would come up with something to get out of having to do the training because it embarrassed her or made her nervous.

Naruto spoke quickly, "Tsunade ba-chan! I need a mission!"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes as she looked at Naruto, "Well, maybe you haven't noticed in the short time that you have been back but there haven't been many missions, have there!?"

Naruto let out a huff, his arms still crossed over his chest as he looked at Tsunade. He really didn't like that answer, mostly because it wasn't an answer at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't care! I need a mission!"

Tsunade took a deep breath and rubbed her temples for a minute. She wished now, more than ever, that there was something going on. She wanted to send Naruto away. She couldn't think about much to say though. She could come up with some mission, but it would only be a partial solution, because getting him to deliver a letter, would only take him a short time at which point he became her problem again, and sending him out to be a scout was pointless since he would only get bored and come back, looking for something else to do. This could have come at a million better times. She took a deep breath trying to calm her nerves a bit. This would have been better if Naruto had just been too embarrassed to show up again after that little bit of lip service that she had given him. Tsunade stopped and stared at Naruto for a few more moments before a slight smile had spread across her lips.

"Well, Naruto, you may just be in luck." She smiled as she looked at him. Naruto raised an eyebrow as he looked back at Tsunade, "It turns out that a mission just came up, and I think you might be qualified for it." Naruto really wasn't sure that he liked the sounds of that. She smiled for a few more moments, "I need someone to help Sakura learn a new skill. Don't worry, it'll pay off for you."

Sakura sat at the desk, looking down at the table in front of her. She really couldn't say that she was all that experienced at this kind of thing. She had read through a few of the icha icha novels, which had been interesting and educational on this topic, but really, she wasn't sure that she could go through with that sort of thing. She wasn't sure how she was going to do all of this, especially if Tsunade was there watching. She respected Tsunade but in the way that a child would respect their mother or grandmother. People didn't often to this sort of thing in front of someone who they cared for like a parent. She couldn't imagine it. It was totally insane.

She continued to sit silently however, there was no point in struggling with it now. It seemed that she was going to have to go through with this training no matter what she said anyway, so she might as well try to think of a way to either get it over quickly or enjoy it while she did it. She was quite sure that she had no chance at enjoying it since she was being forced to perform a bit of sexual activity. She sighed softly and brought her hands up to her forehead. She took a deep breath, trying to think of what she was going to do. Surely it would be all that hard. It was just a simple job of popping it into her mouth and sucking until she was told that she could stop. That wasn't such a tough concept. As long as she thought about it as a popsicle or something she wouldn't have any trouble at all.

The door to the office had opened again and Tsunade had walked in slowly, a smile on her face. Sakura didn't find anything about the smile to be reassuring. Tsunade looked at Sakura for a few moments and walked over to lean against the edge of her desk, "Sorry about that, Sakura."

Sakura stared at the edge of the desk, really trying not to look at Tsunade. She didn't like this at all but there wasn't all that much that she could do at this point. She figured that by remaining indifferent at least until she had been told to start she could make all of this a bit more bearable. She knew that by the end of this meeting she would have found out if she had ant skill with her tongue, but really she wasn't sure that she wanted to know. She supposed once she found out she could use it on a lover or something, or maybe use it to attract a lover, but it really didn't seem like the sort of thing that someone would open a conversation with. She smiled inside her mind as she tried to imagine herself introducing herself with a line like 'hi, I'm Sakura and I excel at sucking dick'. It wasn't something that Sakura had an easy time imagining.

Tsunade smiled softly as she looked at Sakura and then moved forward a bit, taking a hold of Sakura's headband, "Alright. I know this will probably be difficult for you, so I'll help you out as best I can, how does that sound?" Sakura didn't respond, leaving Tsunade to assume that Sakura was willing to let Tsunade at least offer a helping hand. She smiled softly and pulled Sakura's headband off, "It will be much easier for you this way."

Sakura blinked for a moment as some of her bubblegum pink hair slipped out and in front of her face. Her mint green eyes turned up to look up at Tsunade. She watched the blond woman for a few moments before her vision was cut out completely as the steel plated headband that she had been previously wearing in her hair was now placed over her eyes. She blinked for a few more moments, trying to figure out how exactly this would help. All it would mean was that she wouldn't know what it was that she was doing, and what exactly it was that she was sucking on. That wouldn't be all that helpful in the end. She slowly opened her mouth to speak, "How is this going to help in the end, sensei?"

Tsunade smiled softly before gently tapping at the metal headband, "This will allow you to imagine whatever would make this whole process easier." She smiled for a few moments before gently cupping Sakura's cheek, "You could imagine that it is your banana if you want, or you could imagine that you are doing all of this for a lover." Sakura swallowed at that thought, "It will also allow you to do this without worrying about what it is that you actually have in your mouth. You did seem a bit concerned about that earlier."

The pink haired kunoichi wondered what exactly she should be saying at this point. She wanted to say thank you, but at the same time she still wasn't any happier with all of this. She swallowed again as she heard the continuation of movement in the room. She thought that she may have heard the door open again, but couldn't be entirely sure. She didn't suppose that Tsunade would let someone else in to watch this. She tried to keep her mind calm, trying not to think about all of this had worked so far, so there was no reason that it wouldn't continue to work. She closed her eyes since she couldn't see anything now anyway and just waited for instruction.

Naruto had slipped in through the door, being perfectly silent, just like Tsunade had told him to be. He then blinked as he looked over to to the chair that he had been sitting in the last time that he had been in this room to see none other than Sakura sitting there, her ninja headband being used as some sort of blindfold to keep her from seeing anything. He looked at her for a few moments, not entirely sure what was going on, but very skeptical that what was going on, might very well have something to do with what had gone on the last time that he had been in this room. He looked over to Tsunade, his clear blue eyes focused on her for a moment, almost asking the question that Tsunade was sure to know was on his mind without having to say a thing. Tsunade just smiled at him, with that sly look in her chocolate eyes.

Naruto had been told to remain perfectly silent regardless of what happened. Tsunade had said that this was a very special ninja training exercise, to test his quality as a ninja since the best way to gather information was to be perfectly silent and observe. He blinked for a few moments before continuing to walk around to where Tsunade had told him to stand, taking up a space in front of Sakura. He had been told that there would be some sort of oral test involved in all of this, but he wasn't quite sure what it was that he was supposed to be observing. He thought about it and wondered for a moment if Sakura sitting in a chair, blindfolded by her own headband was meant to be a distraction from something else smaller that he was supposed to notice. Unfortunately for Naruto he was having difficulty taking his eyes off of the blindfolded Sakura.

Tsunade had quickly slipped in behind the blond boy. One of her hands had quickly shot up to cover Naruto’s mouth while the other had slipped down to the front of his pants, fumbling with them for a moment before slipping them open. Naruto’s eyes had gone wide as his trademark orange pants had slipped down his legs, pooling around his ankles. Her nimble fingers had quickly slid into the front of Naruto’s boxers and fished his quickly growing penis out, pointing it at Sakura’s mouth before giving it a few quick strokes to get Naruto to his full hardness. Naruto tried to bite back a groan as Tsunade did this. He couldn’t believe what was going on. It looked like Tsunade’s plan was to jack him off until he came on Sakrua’s face or something, and while coating Sakura’s face in his spunk was something that he had thought about in his dreams he had never thought that it would be under these kinds of conditions.

Tsunade let her chin rest on Naruto’s shoulder as she looked down at Sakura who was still sitting in the chair, completely oblivious to what was going on just a short distance in front of her. The kage smiled softly, “Sakura, You’re going to need to get off of that chair and onto your knees if you are going to learn a skill like this one.” She had then let go of Naruto’s shaft, her now free hand slipping up to take a hold of Naruto’s wrist, pulling it behind his back far enough that she could take a hold of the other one as well, and she kept a firm hold on both of his wrists, keeping them pinned behind his back. Tsunade smiled softly before whispering into Naruto’s ear, making sure to be quiet enough that Sakura wouldn’t hear, “Be a good boy and I promise you’ll enjoy this.”

The pink haired ninja had slipped off of her chair and had accidentally bumped the head of Naruto’s now very stiff cock with the end of her nose, which caused Naruto to inhale deeply, a sound that was completely silent because of Tsunade’s hand over his mouth. The feel of the object however had been a shock to Sakura. It had been something that even with the end of the nose had been enough to get her interest. She brought up a hand, slowly wrapping her fingers around the rod in front of her face. Her mind went to work as she tried to identify the object that was both soft and hard at the same time. Naruto’s mind was quickly racing, but getting absolutely no where other than how amazing it felt to have Sakura’s fingers wrapped around his penis. It had never felt like this when he had done it alone. Sakura had given it a few more experimental strokes, seeming to be trying to get a feel for it.

Tsunade smiled softly as she looked down at Sakura who was working at exploring the erection before her with her fingers. She smirked at Naruto, who looked like he was about to let his eyes roll to the back of his head at any minute. She then looked back down to Sakura, “That’s enough of that Sakura. No more using your hands.”

The clear blue eyes of Naruto had in that moment grown to the size of saucers. Had Tsunade just said what he thought she had said? What was Sakura going to explore him with if she wasn’t using her hands? The answer became incredibly clear when Sakura’s pink tongue slipped out from between her lips and licked up along the tip. Naruto’s legs almost gave out under him at the feel of Sakura’s tongue on him. Tsunade had to stop herself from chuckling as she watched Sakura shyly lick at the underside of the head of Nartuo’s penis.

The taste had been a bit salty, Sakura though. She really wasn’t sure how much she liked it, but at the same time, she had eaten a few salty meals before, so this wasn’t anything that surprising to her. She continued to gently lick for a few moments, her eyes closed behind the blindfold as she tried not to think about what she was training to do. It was in trying not to think about what she was being trained to do that she had remembered what it was that she was supposed to be learning. Tsunade had said that she was supposed to be learning how to suck cock, not how to lick it. She quickly opened her mouth, and then closed her lips around the head of Naruto’s cock, both to Nartuo’s and Tsunade’s surprise. Tsunade hadn’t expected Sakura to get so bold nearly that fast. While she was surprised, she couldn’t say that she wasn’t pleased with her apprentice’s work however.

Naruto’s eyes did seem to have rolled back into the back of his head as Sakura sucked softly on the end of his cock. It hadn’t taken all that long before she had become even more bold and had started to take a bit more of him into her mouth before slowly starting to bob her head back and forth on the end on Naruto’s cock. Her tongue ran along the underside of his erection as she slowly bobbed her head back and forth for a few more moments before taking more of him into her warm wet mouth. It was somewhere around this point that Sakura had started to hum around Naruto’s shaft. It was unknown to everyone, including Sakura, whether she had done it intentionally or if it had just been a habit that she had picked up while she was doing her other studies, but regardless, it had caused Nartuto’s body to shake slightly, and had caused him to gasp against Tsunade’s hand again.

Tsunade smiled softly as she looked down at the good work that Sakura was doing, sucking Naruto off. She then smiled softly. It was about time that Sakura learned that not every guy was just going to stand there and let her do her work. Tsunade pulled her hips back for a moment before thrusting them forward, coming in contact with Naruto’s behind, and pushing his penis deep into Sakura’s mouth as his hips were forced forwards by Tsunade’s. The head of Naruto’s cock had struck rather violently against the back of Sakura’s thought. Sakura had made a sickly choking noise before quickly pulling back off of Naruto’s cock, and coughing into her hand for a few moments, trying desperately to regain her breath.

“What’s the big idea!?” She turned her face up towards Tsunade and brought her hand up as if she was about to take off the headband.

Tsunade spoke up with a sharp and stern voice, “If you take off your headband you fail!” Sakura’s hand froze. She had never been faced with the chance of failing before. Tsunade narrowed her dark brown eyes, something that was completely lost on Sakura since she couldn’t see them, “Not every person who you are treating is going to just lie back and take it. You have to learn to be accommodating.”

Sakura narrowed her eyes as well, firing an angry glare at Tsunade, that like Tsunade’s glare was lost because of the headband over Sakura’s mint green eyes. She needed to be more accommodating did she? Well, she would just show Tsunade how accommodating she could be. She turned her attention back to the erect penis before her before she opened her mouth and quickly took as much as she could into her mouth. Naruto struggled slightly against Tsunade’s grip, but it was hopeless for him since he was no match for Tsunade’s insane strength. The head of his cock had once again come in contact with the back of Sakura’s throat, only this time, rather than gagging, Sakura attempted to swallow. The experience had been mind blowing to Naruto, who surely would have fallen over if it hadn’t been for the fact that Tsunade was holding him up. Tsunade raised an eyebrow as she looked down at Sakura. Well, that had been an interesting solution to the problem that she had proposed, but it wouldn’t matter, Tsunade smiled softly.

Tsunade had let Sakura have her fun for a few more moments, before deciding that it had been long enough since Sakura had last moved at all. The brown eyed kage slowly started to pull back, pulling Naruto back with her. The intention had been to pull Naruto far enough out of Sakura’s mouth that she would be able to thrust him in again and see if Sakura had learned anything from the ordeal. It had failed miserably as Sakura had used her hands and knees to push forward, not only keeping up, but using a bit of force of her own to push both Naruto and Tsunade backwards until Tsunade was pinned back against her desk. It was then that Sakura’s hands had launched up again, taking a firm grip on the edge of the desk, effectively locking both Tsunade and Naruto exactly where they were. She then began to bob her head back and forth on Naruto’s dick with reckless abandon, taking him in as deep as she had before, the head of his cock bumping against the back of her throat every time she took him into her mouth, and her tongue doing a quick swirl around the head when she had pulled back far enough.

The force of the action had been enough to unbalance the kage, who out of instinct had dropped both of her hands back to the desk behind her to support her weight and stop her from falling over. This had been a mistake and she had realized that fact immediately as Naruto’s hands had jumped forward, sliding into Sakura’s pink hair as he finally came hard with a long moan, “Sakura-chaaaan!”

The cock in her mouth pulsed before it had sprayed the warm, sticky, salty fluid into Sakura’s mouth. It had quickly filled Sakura’s mouth, and she had been forced to swallow, gulping it down, just to stop from drowning on the blond ninja’s semen. She slowly pulled away from Naruto, an audible pop happening when her lips finally left the end of his cock, a trail of Naruto’s jizz having escaped the corner of her mouth, and traveling down to her chin. She slowly reached up to the headband that covered her eyes and pulled it back, her mint green eyes looking up at Naruto for a moment before a soft smile had spread across her lips, “Hello, Naruto-kun.” She leaned forward again, giving the end of his penis a little kiss, “I think I’m ready for my second lesson now, Tsunade-sama.”

Tsunade chuckled softly, gripping the end of her desk before looking down at Sakura and shaking her head slightly, “Truly you are a legendary apprentice.”

***TBC***

@wolf : I’m glad you liked it enough to respond, and as you see, I have finally gotten around to updating this. I have now started to throw around plans as to how I can include Shizune in an upcoming chapter.
@UnlikelyLoveUnlimited : I hadn’t actually given any thought into where this story was going to end up in the end. Really, I now have plans for up to chapter 5 I think. It would be interesting to see them get together because of Jiraiya’s perverse mind, though I think I can foresee the age thing being a problem.
@orismoris : You bet Naruto is still the main man.
@ZackSamurai : I am very glad that you think that I did justice to the characters. That is by far the one thing that I worry about the most. (Though I’m not sure that I got Sakura’s attitude right on this one)
@saiyanprince1 : She did now. XD
@Andrew Shumway : Ahhh…I wish my beta showed up on MSN like ever. He’s a bit lame and as a result I haven’t actually given him anything to edit, though I’m sure this one probably could have used a read though since it has already taken so long to write. Oh well. I’m glad that you liked my story though.
Thank you all for the positive feedback. It is what I feed off of.
