Chapter 20 - MAKING A BET WITH TSUNADE

It's been 2 months after the attack on Konoha by Orochimaru. The village has nearly recovered from all the damage caused by the snakes. Because of my, Nikasu and others the damage was contained and no one died though people still were injured but it's much much better the first outcome.

I checked on Naruto , Sasuke and Sakura as Kakashi was spent on a mission. Naruto was in the hospital recovering from the fight he had with Gaara he suffered some injuries but both him and Gaara became friends after the incident.

Gaara visited Naruto in the hospital before he returned to his village.

Sasuke wore an unusual expression on his face when he looked at Naruto .I knew what he was thinking and couldn't help and sigh ,he is being influenced by Orochimaru. What Sasuke d_e_s_i_r_es the most is to bring back Itachi from the darkness and he doesn't care about the way he will accomplish it ,he will do anything to bring back Itachi from the darkness even if he has to take Itachi's place in the darkness he will do it.

I looked at Sakura who was sitting next to Naruto cutting him apples and feeding him slowly I was happy since in the original series Naruto did to much for her just because she was his friend also sasuke ,he had to suffer much because of the promise he made so if in this timeline, this version he can have some more happiness I would be content with it.

Same is for Sasuke ,I am trying to have him feel what is means to be happy in the original sasuke didn't go through a good life he suffered much even more than naruto in some cases. Nikasu and I ,we will always protect them and give them the families they never had.

3rd announced his retirement 2 days ago ,created *Protector* and suggested Tsunade's name as the 5th. Jiraiya-san and I, we were ordered to find and drag her back to the village for the position of the Hokage.

Jiraiya-san asked Naruto to tag along since he was finally discharged yesterday so we finally packed our belonging ,got dressed up, I took my ear plugs so I will be safe from Jiraiya-san pervy teachings as unlike Naruto I didn't had immunity to whatever crap the pervy man had.

We met at the entrance ,I didn't had to introduce myself to Jiraiya-san as Nikasu had already done that for me.

We stopped once beside a river and rested for a bit Naruto caught some fishes which I cooked with some special spice combo from my previous world while Jiraiya-san sat down beneath a tree and took out a brush and empty book trying to get some inspiration for his next book.

We ate the fishes I cooked and after resting for 20 min resumed our journey. It took was 3 hr to reach the town and night has already fallen.

We slowly walked inside a bar Jiraiya-san said to Naruto "Don't speak in the conversation." Naruto nodded.

Tsunade stood up after seeing us she looked Gorgeous and also a bit drunk as I could see her slightly reddened cheeks she said "Jiraiya?? what are you doing here???,....."

Jiraiya said "I finally found you ...." beside Tsunade a girl holding a little Pink pig could be seen she was Shizune she said "Greetings Jiraiya-sama....."

We slowly sat together and ordered some appetizers for the time being. Jiraiya says"This is Ichizu and the little one is Naruto.....so you see you have been chosen to be the next Hokage since old man has retired ,I am here to ask you will you accept the position???."

After listening to the first part Naruto was choking on his dried fish , Shizune's eyes widened and my expression .....

remained unchanged since I didn't really give a damn about the hokage thing.

After staring at Jiraiya for some time she slowly opened her mouth and said "No thanks I have no interest in becoming a hokage only a fool will become a hokage it is nothing but a useless title which comes with burdens and nothing more."

Naruto trembled in anger and said while standing up "You come on out I will surely dead anyone who disgraces the old man and the title hokage."????????????????????????????

Tsunade stood up and walked out of the bar ,shizune followed running after her saying "Please stop and reconsider Lady tsunade.."

Jiraiya-san and me , we also followed after naruto and arrived outside Naruto and tsunade were standing opposite to each other . Naruto empty handed while tsunade was holding a bottle of alcohol in her left hand.

Naruto like an idiot rushed forward to attack tsunade with b_a_r_e hands. She dodges and flicks her index finger at his forehead protector which flies off pretty far and naruto layed on the ground seeming hurt.

Tsunade says "Humph you are too weak." naruto replied "Even though I am weak and am a brat I still won't give up on my dream and will work hard to become the greatest Hokage ever."

Tsunade sneers and says "Forget about being a hokage first prove that use are worthy enough to even dream of that title even if it is just a worthless title for me ,try and learn an A-rank jutsu in 1 weeks time .I am making a bet with you if you are able to do so in 1 week I will give you this locket and will also accept the Hokage title."

"I don't want that locket nor do I give a damn about you becoming a hokage or not I will prove you that I am worthy enough to have such a dream and also will show you how wrong you were about being a hokage." said naruto.

I who has been silent from the start spoke "In one week we will meet again at this place in the morning and will also witness who will win the bet." everyone looked at me and I looked at naruto while thinking "Time for some training naruto......"
