Chapter 39 - 39: Lady Tsunade

???: DYNAMIC KICK!!!

After Itachi left and Jiraiya arrived, Might Guy, self-proclaimed Kakashi's rival, came flying in and kicking Jiraiya in the face, mistaking him for an enemy. I saw him coming, said and did nothing just to watch the hit. I could not stop rolling on the floor and laughing my a.s.s off. The nearby trees were leveled because I laughed so hard. After reprimanding Guy, Jiraiya and Guy took a closer look at the dead body. I didn't completely destroy it so some of the cloak was still intact. The color and patterns on it was a dead give-away.

Sage: My sides hurt Guy-senpai. HAHAHAHA!!! POW! right in the Kisser!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

Guy: I am so sorry Jiraiya-sama. I just saw Naruto and Sasuke on the floor and thought you were the enemy.

Jiraiya: (While rubbing his face) Asshole. Next time look before you leap.

Sage: Isn't it your fault for coming when the party was over?

Jiraiya: Come on, we are looking for Tsunade but there is no rush, (Sniffs his finger), besides, I needed material for my new book.

Sage: Hahaha. True, true. (Playing the fool). Do you know who these guys were Jiraiya-san?

Naruto: Yeah, they were after me for some reason.

Jiraiya: They are the Akatsuki, an underground organization made up of missing and S class ninja.

Sage: Why were they targeting Naruto?

Jiraiya: Because he is a Jinchuuriki. They were after the Kyuubi. Still though, you managed to kill one so we might get further clues into their plans.

Guy: Who killed him? He was Uchiha Itachi's partner that snuck into Konoha.

Sage: I did. Why do you ask?

Guy: When he was in Konoha I confronted him and he was really strong. To think he would die this easily, why wouldn't I ask?

Jiraiya sealed Kisames' remains in a scroll along with Samehada. I made sure that Kisame didn't hide in the sword and was truly dead. I myself took a step back and wondered, what if I could take Nagatos' eyes (Madara's eyes), for myself? The drain on Chakra, because I am not of the Uchiha clan, would cause me no issue but I will have to test it out and consult the Hashirama. The reason I recently took an interest in the eyes is because I might be able to come in contact with the Rikudosennin himself, the Dojutsu is a plus. I took the scroll, Guy and Sasuke back to Konoha, told the Hokages what was going on and then returned to the hotel.

Sage: I told them what was going on. We can still continue but to tread carefully.

Jiraiya: After what you did to the other guy, they are the ones who should tread carefully.

Naruto: Yeah, he popped like a ballon, organ confetti everywhere. I just hope Sasuke recovers. He may be a dumbass coming to attack someone with no gear and exhausted from running from Konoha to here but he is still a teammate.

Jiraiya: Don't worry, the person we are looking for is a top medical ninja. Hopefully we can track her down by the time we reach the next city.

Naruto: It would help if we know what she looked like or the types of locations she frequents.

Jiraiya: That's gonna be a problem considering she changes her appearance to avoid debt collectors. The places we are likely to see her is in casinos and gambling dens.

I already knew who to look for but I doubt they would let me in to the establishment considering I'm only 16, physically. With Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) I shouldn't have a problem. We walked for half a day and reached a city. We started walking from casino to den, even in the red light districts. We finally saw Tsunade with her assistant Shizune walking out of a casino. Jiraiya asked them to have a chat at a nearby restaurant. Naruto, Shizune and I sat at a different table. By the looks of it Jiraiya had dibs before I even came into this world. I decided I wanted Mei Terumi, the 5th Mizukage, but that's not going to stop me from flirting with other women though. I listened in on their conversation.

Tsunade: So why did you trouble yourself looking for me?

Jiraiya: What? I can't come looking for an old friend?

Tsuande: Not with a bunch of kids you're not.

Jiraiya: Haha, be careful one of those kids belongs to someone important and the other could end you in a blink of an eye.

Tsunade: That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. If a man like that appeared I would be …

Jiraiya immeadiately put his hands over Tsunades mouth. I grinned at him and he scowled at me. I laughed, shrugged my shoulders and let it go. Jiraiya had a clue of what I was capable of and by Tsunade finishing her words she would sooner eat them. Jiraiya stopped her before she herself claims to marry that type of man. Tsunade shook Jiraiya off.

Tsunade: What the hell are you doing?

Jiraiya: I'm just trying to save you before your mouth bites more than it can chew.

Tsuande: Whatever. Why ARE you here?

Jiraiya: Orochimaru invaded Konoha with the Sunagakure and the Otogakure.

Tsunade: (Shocked but pretending to not care). What does that have to do with me?

Tsunade: (With a creased brow). What are you getting at?

Jiraiya: Orochimaru used a certain forbidden Jutsu before he died and brought back some old friends. Because of a little luck those friends are walking around freely.

Tsunade: That snake bastard brought them back, they freed themselves and you want to reunite me with them?

Jiraiya: That's the gist of it.

By the end of the conversation it looks like they came into an agreement. Jiraiya formally introduced Naruto and I to her. Tsunade looked at Naruto then me.

Tsunade: So you were the one who killed Orochimaru?

Sage: Yes, pretty lady, I sure did. Why do you ask?

Tsunade: Let's just say I don't believe you.

Sage: Then, what do you propose I should do to prove to you otherwise?

I didn't start it this time, but as sure as the sky is blue, water is wet and fire is hot, I will finish it. I will at least give her a way out even if it is rude.

Tsunade: How about a little wager? I want you to prove your strength to me in a little 1 versus 1.

Sage: Your mouth is writing checks your a.s.s can't cash, miss. Are you sure?

I look at Jiraiya with the Rock's signature eyebrow, then back at Tsunade with the biggest smile on my face.
