Title: Tsunade & Yami's Relationship...

....

-General POV-

When Orochimaru arrived in Konoha, he immediately went towards the Hokage's office. He had already been notified about what Jiraya is curious about. 

Orochimaru could already guess how this conversation will go. He already knows that Hachi is Yami's son

'But Hachi is still boring and easy to understand. Unlike his father, Yami is an complex rubic cube. While Hachi is simply an open book. I can understand where he came from and why he is like he is.' Contemplates Orochimaru. 

He truly wasn't interested in Hachi at all. Hachi was so boring compared to his father. Yami is always illogical and cant me understood. Hachi can be read so easily and even though he has some of Yami's traits they seem to be minimal. Though he does use Hachi to get a better understanding of Yami. 

When he goes to the Hokage tower, he enters inside and no one bothers him, as he calmly walks to the office. Everyone just politely nods his way, not daring to stop him. He is an S Rank ninja and a Sanin, plus being the Hokage's student hold some weight too.

Orochimaru opens the door and inside the Hokage's Office sees Jiraya and Hiruzen. The latter was smoking a pipe, it seems like usually he is smoking most of the times lately.

Hiruzen was sitting on his chair, with paperwork all around his desk. Jiraya on the other hand was leaning in the window. 

'He most likely came through the window. As expected of someone like Jiraya.' Analysed Orochimaru instinctively. As a ninja he was used to observing miniscule things like this to come to a conclusion.

Hiruzen is the first to ask as he leaned back on his chair. "Tell me... do you have evidence  of Tsunade and Yami having... a more than student and teacher relationship."

When Hiruzen says this, Jiraya grimaces at that. After all, no matter how much time passes, Tsunade is someone whom he secretly loves ever since he used to be young. Plus hearing that a child, who at the time should have been around twelve years old had s*x with Tsunade... this was all bizarre to him. But during his stay here, Hiruzen has seemingly hinted to Jiraya what was his theory, so if it's true it doesn't come as an immediate shock to Jiraya. 

But Orochimaru, when he hears what Hiruzen has to say. His reaction is different from Jiraya's, as he chuckles slightly in his own creepy way. "Why Sarutobi -sensei... is your inclination that Tsunade and Yami Inuzuka were more than… student and teacher… Especially during his younger age."

Though  they were talking like this, none of them knew the reality, Hachi is already dead. Neither did they know of the situation in the frontlines against the Hidden Mist Village. The news hasn't reached them yet due to the situation only happening… not even an hour ago.

No battles against the Hidden Mist Village happened during this war. Plus the rumours about some Civil War that has started in the Hidden Mist. So they were in their right to assume that Hidden Mist would not do something stupid like this. After all, Hidden Mist would help the Rebels in the Hidden Mist and the village will be easily overthrown by that.

Jiraya was the first to refute Orochimaru's idea.

"No… I know Tsunade wouldn't do something like that." Said Jiraya, as he frowns at the thoughts in his head, that keep bringing up his suspicion.

Orochimaru's smile dampened a little when he saw Jiraya refusing something like Yami and Tsunade having something going on between them. So he just sighed a little and finally decided to drop the bomb on them. "Hachi Senju… or should I say Hachi Inuzuka is truly Yami Inuzuka's son. I have conducted blood tests by using Yami's mother and Hachi. The connection is there and the evidence is undeniable. Hachi is Yami's son."

As soon as this was said by Orochimaru. Jiraya's face becomes heavy. His frown deepens and he simply jumps off the window. Going somewhere…

Orochimaru just shrugged his shoulders at this. He was absolutely calm at this, he didn't have feelings for Tsunade anyway, so he didn't care who she slept with. That was her business and it's her body, she can do whatever she wants with it. He wouldn't care which people his teammates slept with. He has better things to do.

"So Sarutobi -sensei, how do you think we should act? Now that we have this information available to us." Questions Orochimaru as he thinks on how he might be able to use this information against Yami, and get an advantage over him. 

But contrary to what Orochimaru is thinking, Hiruzen simply sighs and says. "Yami is a Konoha Citizen and the head of the Inuzuka Clan. Even with this information, how are we going to use it? If we release it to the public, Yami wouldn't care that much. It would only ruin Tsunade's reputation since it would seem like she took advantage of a twelve year old Yami. Plus even if we have something bad against Yami, it wouldn't be smart to use it.  After all, we don't want to push him away or something like that."

When Orochimaru heard the last part of what Hiruzen said he smirked a little and sat down on one of the chairs in the Hokage's office. After he settled down on the chair, Hiruzen filled his pipe with tobacco and started smoking again. 

"So tell me sensei, you seem to act as if Yami has a high risk of desertion. Would someone as smart as Yami give up the advantages that Konoha has." Asks Orochimaru, contrary to his usual joking manner. When he was alone with his teacher, he acted more relaxed. After all currently Orochimaru and Hiruzen had a good relationship, he was Hiruzen's favourite student after all.

Hiruzen thought a little at the implications and the things his spies have conveyed lately. "Well… I wonder if Yami will really be at a disadvantage though."

Orochimaru folded his arms as he leaned back on his chair. "Hmmm… and how would that be? Does he have some secret base or something like that."

The Hokage sighs at this as he shakes his head. "Nope… it's even worse… he has a whole new village to fall back into. Possibly a village who is under his absolute control."

When he heard this, Orochimaru's thoughts went into overdrive, and after a couple of seconds he showed his natural genius by guessing. "Hmmm… so the most likely village that will support Yami and even when he leaves Konoha will most likely be…"

….

AUTHOR NOTE:

Yami's blood isn't that accessible anymore. After all techniques that Hidan uses do exist. Someone like Yami tries to cover all of his weaknesses, and leaving something like this out there would be out of character for him.
