I don't own Naruto, if I did... I wouldn't be writing this...
~~~~~~~~~
Tsunade was thumbing through some paperwork while Jiraiya stood in front of her desk, she was too busy working to realize that he was staring at her cleavage.
"So uh, why exactly did you summon me?"
Tsunade didn't look up as she answered Jiraiya. "Two things really. I never got a full report from you on Naruto's progress, mainly due to his… obnoxious entrance into my office. I'll need more details since he doesn't want to be evaluated."
"Right. I'll be honest; I didn't take his training too seriously for the first year or so. I'd just give him something to work on for the day, and then I'd check his progress."
"Hands off training... You were at the brothels the whole time, weren't you?"
Jiraiya puffed out his chest. "You know me too well, Tsunade-hime."
She crumpled a sheet of paper and tossed it into the trash bin behind the Toad Sage. "Keep it brief, we only have a few minutes."
"'Till what?"
"One thing at a time, Jiraiya. What happened next?"
"Well, he asked me if I could help him more effectively utilize the Kyuubi's chakra, so I loosened his seal a tiny bit."
Tsunade stopped working and looked worriedly at Jiraiya. "That was a bad idea I assume?"
"Yup. He drew too much the first time, and gave me this." Jiraiya poined to a spot on his chain mail, upon closer examination, Tsunade could see through the links. There were claw marks scarred into his chest.
"I was able to stop him before he reached any nearby villages, but that was only the beginning. After I loosened the seal, that foul chakra was constantly leaking and mixing with his own in far greater quantities than before."
"He seems fine now."
"He only got it under control about two months ago. The Kyuubi would often take over his body at night and run off, ever since I loosened the seal, he said that it can freely speak to him, even in his sleep. That's why we had to stay in the wilderness for the past year and a half, as a result… his social skills got a little rusty."
"As if Naruto-chan ever had any… So, what other complications were there?"
"He happened to have just hit puberty when I loosened it, so there's a good chance the fox will alter his growth, I'll let you know if I catch on to something strange."
"Last thing Jiraiya. In terms of jutsu and other new abilities, what have you to say of his overall improvement?"
"With some liberal abuse of Shadow clones, I was able to teach him some wind release techniques, but I can only teach the brat so much, seeing as my elemental affinities are for earth and fire. I'll have to find someone else to teach him."
Tsunade scratched her head. "Wind? That's rare in this village… I'll look into it later. Have either of you made any progress on deciphering the seal to the Hiraishin?"
"I gave him the two Kunai Minato left to me specifically for that purpose. I can't crack it, so maybe a pair of fresh eyes will make more progress on it. Hell, he's already figured out how to use them, only a matter of time before he can preform the jutsu on his own. Oh, I almost forgot! We've also been working on a way to combine elemental chakra with the Rasengan, but we haven't had much luck with it."
A voice suddenly came from the windowsill. "I've also attempted to complete the Rasengan in such a way."
Tsunade swiveled her chair around and sarcastically addressed the young man. "Nice of you to join us, Kakashi-kun."
Kakashi eye smiled. "Sorry about the tardiness Hokage-sama, a black cat crossed my path and-"
Tsunade smirked. "It's fine, I told you 10 o'clock, everyone else I told to be here at 12:30, your actually early."
Kakashi chuckled as he scratched the back of his head.
Jiraiya spoke to him. "Makes sense that you'd know the Rasengan too. What'd you learn from your attempt?"
Kakashi casually formed a Rasengan in his hand as he spoke. "It's the reason I came up with Chidori, I couldn't combine them, the jutsu becomes unstable as soon as you add other forms of chakra to it. If there were a practical way combine them all at the same time, it'd probably work."
Kakashi clenched his hand and the glowing ball dispursed into the air. "Maybe shadow cl-"
Kakashi train of thought was interrupted as Naruto… with his inability to do anything normally, kicked the door in with such a force that it startled everyone in the room.
"OI BAA-CHAN! WHAT'CHA NEED?"
Much like the day before, the trained killers in the room reacted just as you'd expect of them. Kakashi rolled his eye, and Tsunade threw her desk(again). Jiraiya was hit square in the face by the mahogany furniture, and was launched toward the closing door, and Naruto. Between Jiraiya and the desk, Naruto didn't have much room to dodge, so he just decided to cut his losses and eat it.
Jiraiya hit Naruto, they hit the door (which flew off the hinges), then they hit the elevator door, then, the desk hit them… and exploded…
Following the chaos, Kakashi could see a visibly plume of steam coming off of Tsunade's forehead as she stomped over and pulled Naruto's head out of the indentation in the elevator door. She held him up by the back of his haori as if he were a small child.
Her voice boomed throughout the entire top floor. "I'm also taking this out of your next paycheck. Now sit down, and shut up, am I clear?" She threw him at the couch and went back out to pull Jiraiya out of the elevator door.
Naruto landed with his face stuck between the cushions, his voice was muffled as he asked a question. "Oi, Kakashi-sensei, why're we all here?"
"Special mission I'd assume. I would go buy supplies after this if I were you."
"Awesome!" Naruto jumped up from the couch and cracked his knuckles.
Tsunade, visibly frustrated, dragged Jiraiya back into the room and dropped him on the rug. She noticed Naruto standing up, with a mischevious look on his face. Without breaking stride, she flicked his forhead protector as she walked back to her desk. There was a loud ping, and Naruto was sent flying back into the couch. He dislodged his head from the cushions once more and pouted as he sat down.
Tsunade exhaled in exasperation as she spoke. "The others should be here in a few minutes."
Jiraiya, now fully recovered from his minor head trauma, rose to his feet. "So uh, Tsunade-hime... Why are we here again? I lost my train of thought." Jiraiya narrowed his eyes at Tsunade and Naruto respectively.
Tsunade put a finger over her mouth and motioned her head around the compromised room. Kakashi hopped off the windowsill and closed it, and Jiraiya picked the detached door off of the floor and awkwardly placed it back on the hinges, but if fell off after Jiraiya turned to face the Hokage. He just shrugged at her in response.
Tsunade plopped down in her chair and face-palmed. When she looked back up, she was dead serious. "My spy network has informed me that Orochimaru and Sasuke are operating near Kirigakure. However, they haven't reported in since Naruto's come back. I'm sending you all to investigate."
Kakashi spoke up. "Hokage-sama, you said there'd be others, who else are you sending with us?"
Naruto also voiced his opinion. "I think Sakura should come with us."
Tsunade put her hand up in protest. "I've thought about it, and I beleive she'll be an emotional liability if I were to send her with you. I know enough about her relationship with Sasuke to say so with certainty. I assure you, it wasn't an arbitrary decision."
Naruto stood up. "But! It would-"
Kakashi gestured to get Naruto's attention and quieted the young ninja with a shake of his head. "It's too dangerous to have her with us... It's risky enough bringing you, Naruto."
Tsunade concurred. "Exactly. The others should be here any-"
Perfectly on cue, Mitsuki opened the door… which then fell off the hinges again. She looked back and forth between the Hokage and the door as she walked into the center of the room.
"My apologies Hokage-sama, but I believe that the door was broken before I arrived, likely due to the remains of a desk in the hallway... and the destroyed elevator... I had to take the stairs."
Kakashi mocked the raven-haired woman. "Mitsuki-chan, you're slipping, I got here before you did."
She smirked at Kakashi and bantered back at him. "It doesn't count if you were supposed to be here two hours ago. I'm aware of how people get you to be somewhere on time, Kakashi-taicho."
Naruto perked up at the familiarity betwee nteh two shinobi. "Eh? Mitsuki-chan, how do you and Kakashi-sensei know each other?"
"That's a story for another time, Namikaze-sama."
Kakashi looked surprised for a second. "So Naruto knows who he is now?"
Mitsuki nodded. "I maintain the Uzumaki Estate and also serve as his bodyguard, Kakashi-taichou."
The Copy-Cat crossed his arms and took a lazy posture. "So this is what you've been doing since you withdrew from ANBU."
The raven-haired kunoichi gave her former squad leader and inquisitve stare. "And it seems you've been keeping a close eye on Namikaze-sama since you retired."
Tsunade interrupted the reunion to get everyone back on task. "Now, if our other addition would show-"
This is when the window shattered and Anko came flying in, everyone except Tsunade remained motionless… Tsunade threw her chair in the direction of the sound.
Anko deftly dodged the chair and landed on her feet, the chair on the other hand… continued to sail out the shattered window. A shriek, laden with pain echoed from the streets below.
Anko mused as she picked Tsunade up in a bear hug. "That's not very nice, Tsunade-Nee-chan."
"Not now Anko." Tsunade effortlessly broke out of the bear hug and pointed to the couch next to Naruto, Anko didn't even protest, in fact, she appeared rather eager to do so.
Naruto turned pale as Anko sat across his lap and greeted him with a pinch on his cheek, she whispered in his ear.
"It's a shame you wore a shirt today, Naru-chan… Did you happen to get those bandages yet?"
Tsunade drew everyone's attention. "I've called all of you here just in case any of you have objections toward the personnel of this team."
Naruto to tried to speak but Anko intentionally shoved his face into her cleavage, so no one noticed.
Tsunade continued.
"Good then. I've carefully chosen each of you based on your knowledge of Orochimaru and Sasuke respectively, and also because of your given skillsets. Shikamaru is also going with you; he'll meet you at the main gate in one hour... NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE BEFORE I BREAK SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO YOU THIS TIME!"
*Somewhere else in Konoha
Ino smirked at Sakura. "How do you feel about Naruto, Forehead-chan?"
"He's a great fri-"
Ino cut her off. "Friend? That's great… because I'm attracted to Naruto, and I'm going to steal him from you."
Sakura frowned at her lap. "Two things, first, Naruto's not my boyfriend, and second; that's pretty shallow, Piggy-chan. Are you going through with all this because you think he's cute?"
There was a long pause as Sakura adjusted her gloves, waiting for Ino's reply. It came, but it wasn't what she expected to hear.
"I should ask you the same question about Sasuke, you fucking hypocrite."
Sakura quickly stood up in anger, prepared to slap Ino across the face, but when she saw her friend's expression, she froze in terror, Ino appeared absolutely livlid. Sakura's friend didn't make that face unless she was about to really tear into someone, and the pinkette just knew that she was facing an imminent verbal beatdown.
Ino took a deep breath and glared at Sakura as she spoke in a deceptively even tone.
"Yes, I think it's cute that he loves you more than you can comprehend. I think it's cute that Naruto loves you enough to waste his time chasing a lost cause of a man, just because it would make you happy. I think it's cute that he dedicated his existence to your happiness. So yes, I FIND NARUTO CUTE!"
The staff in the restaurant began to stare at the two kunoichi, but Ino didn't care. Sakura tried to stop her, hoping to point out that this wasn't the place to do this sort of thing, but the ball had already begun rolling.
Ino's voice wavered in frustration. "I would kill for someone who could love me that way, and I'd love him right back. You don't seem to understand, people only see me as a trophy, a conquest; do you know who wouldn't do that? Naruto. I've been around about sixteen years, and up until today, I've only ever chased after one guy before. Know who that is, Sakura?"
Sakura answered under her breath. "... Sasuke."
"And how much of a shit did he give about any of us?" Ino paused to let it sink in.
"Naruto on the other hand gives too much of a shit, and of all people, it has to be about you! WHY YOU?! IT'S SO STUPID! He's the most good-natured and loyal guy in the world, I could tell that much since before the Chuunin Exams ended!"
Ino grabbed the table and slung it off to the side, allowing her to get right in Sakura's face, she took a deep breath to calm herself, but it didn't seem to work.
"I'd have been chasing him years ago if he weren't so immature at the time, but look at him now. Naruto doesn't just look different, he's matured as a person, I've seen it for my self. I don't have to wait on him anymore! Naruto has everything that I want in a partner, physical appearance aside!"
Ino paused and took another breath, but she appeared to get even angrier when she continued to speak.
"We both know how important he is to you, but what I don't get, is why you're letting him waste his time like this! Do you really love Sasuke that much? Have you even asked Naruto what he truly wanted to do?... If there were no promise, what would he want to do about Sasuke, ever think of that?"
Ino stood up and scowled down at Sakura, her voice was full of vitriol.
"When I visited the Sasuke Retreival Team in the hospital, I saw Naruto's Jacket hanging in the corner. There was a hole in it, about the size of a fist. We both know what did that, but just to make sure, I took a peek at Naruto's short-term memory. I saw their fight… all of it."
Sakura was beginning to tear up. "I-Ino… i get it okay, just-."
The blonde slammed the table. "I don't think you do. SASUKE TRIED TO KILL HIM! DO YOU REALLY LOVE THAT TRAITOR ENOUGH TO LET THAT SLIDE?!"
Sakura just stared at the table, there was a long pause.
"Answer me! I just want to understand what's going through that big forehead of yours!"
Sakura just sat there, trying desperately to hold herself together. Ino picked up on this and calmed down.
"If someone here is shallow, it's you, Sakura. I can't forgive you if Naruto gets himself hurt over this, or even worse... killed." With that, Ino promptly left the restaurant, she just wanted to go somewhere, away from both Sakura and Naruto.
Sakura's tears were starting to flow as she watched Ino storm out. She managed to keep it together as she used the bills on the table to pay for the food, after which, she went on her way.
However, when Sakura got home, she plopped down on her bed, and cried her eyes out.
