Chapter 181 - Tsunade...

Chapter 181

Title: Tsunade...

….

A couple days after that, in a gambling town in the Land of Fire, Tsunade is in a bar drinking herself to sleep. 

'Sleeping with alcohol is better than sleeping with nightmares.' Thinks Tsunade as she looks at her 20th… 'Or maybe 40th cup of sake.'

She hasn't been sober ever since Hachi's death. She knows that this is not healthy, and not exactly good for someone young like Shizune. That is also one of the reasons why Shizune is currently sleeping in the hotel. 

Suddenly she senses someone approach her. She gives the person a side glance. 

What she sees is a below average looking middle aged man. He seems to be extremely balding and had white hair with black eyes and a stubble for a beard. He is also wearing a suit, but it is disheveled and he seems to be missing his tie.

Tsunade notices that he seems like a normal person. She used a chakra sensing technique and came to the conclusion that the chakra is also at civilian level and he didn't have the turbulence that one has when he uses the transformation jutsu.

The old man notices Tsunade and he comes drunkenly wobbling towards her. When he is close he goes to cup a feel of her b.r.e.a.s.t, thinking that he is being sneaky but obviously Tsunade noticed this and without even needing to look she grabbed the man's hand by the wrist.

'A broken wrist should be enough to teach him a lesson.' Thinks Tsunade as she exerts a little force on her grasp but… she is surprised. As that doesn't work at all and the man seems to smile at her. 

Immediately her ninja training kicks in as she despells the alcohol in her system. A cloud of alcoholic fog comes out of her mouth as she looks at the man in front of her. Next she uses all of her power to crush the man's wrist but to her shock… the man doesn't even budge.

She looks at the man in the eyes as a frown forms on her face and she releases her grip on the old man. After that, she just sits down on the table and grabs another cup of sake, her mood seems sour, she also notices that no one even seems to have noticed the exchange.

She takes another sip of her sake cup.

"Aren't you supposed to be a Kage now. Do you really have so much free time?" Asks Tsunade sarcastically as the 'old man' sits down in front of her, on the same table. 

Slowly the old man's white hair turns black and it starts to grow back into a full head of slightly spiky back hair and the old, pudgy and below average face slowly reconstructed into a handsome one with the Inuzuka tattoos on both cheeks.

Tsunade just sighs and drinks her dake cup in one go. 

"Don't you have something better to do than stalking me Yami. Didn't you get over your whole crush phase by now. You are like twenty four now." Says Tsunade casually.

Yami just shrugs, as he calls over the waitress. As she gets close she gets a blush on her face and says. "Hello, what can I get your order Yami -sama."

Yami smiles back at her.

"Well hello there sweetie, well you could get me some more of you that is for sure." Says Yami in a flirtatious way. 

The waitress just giggles at Yami, she clasps her cheek with her hand and she fidgets a little. "C'mon now Yami -sama… if you say things like that."

Tsunade looks at this and quickly gets annoyed and...

*baam*

She bangs her fist on the table, looking at Yami and the waitress with an annoyed look. "Go and get a room, you two."

The waitress immediately walks away, scared of the aura Tsunade was releasing. "S -Sorry… I will get you the usual T-Bone Steak Yami -sama."

As the waitress walks away, Tsunade looks at Yami questionably. "For a busy Hokage  you for sure seem to come here often."

As Tsunade says that she is about to take another sip of her refilled sake cup. 

But Yami takes it away from her, and drinks it for himself. Tsunade just sighs at this in annoyance.

"Actually I own this place." Smugly says Yami.

"Why am I not surprised at this." Sighs Tsunade, filling another cup of sake for herself. She already knows how Yami is, so she isn't THAT surprised by Yami owning a lot of businesses. She knows how greedy Yami can be.

"Also I am actually twenty three, but I guess as you get in the years you start forgetting things." Says Yami, while casually pointing towards her age, which contrary to her looks, she is in her early forties.

Tsunade's eyebrow twitches slightly at this. 

*sigh* "You really are always blunt with harsh words Yami." Says Tsunade, not really in the mood to even talk to him. When she looks at him it always reminds her of Hachi.

Yami stops his jokes and looks at Tsunade. "Konoha needs you back."

Tsunade's hand stops mid swing as she is about to drink. "I am on vacation."

Yami's eyes turn cold immediately and his friendly aura changes, turning cold. 

That is when Tsunade starts laughing. "Hahahaha… I knew it."

Yami suddenly stops and… chuckles. "You got me there. I guess I have been on edge lately."

He understands that Tsunade just acted a certain way to make him act like she wanted. Tsunade chuckles at this too… she knows Yami better than anyone in Konoha, even better than Orochimaru. Yami literally obliterated part of her spine on some petty agreement when Hachi was alive. She can definitely guess what Yami will do if she refuses him, she isn't that dumb.

'I knew that it was only a matter of time.' Thinks Tsunade, she knows that as soon as she leaves Konoha... she knew that Yami will again 'ask' her back once he becomes Hokage.

Yami just smiles at this result, he was ready to wreck Tsunade and force her to come back to the village. She is an unstable factor on the outside of Konoha. Her mind is fragile and she could  be easily manipulated.

Yami isn't someone who you want to say no to. So Tsunade just raises her small cup with sake in it and says. "Congratulations on becoming the Hokage…"

Yami clinks glasses with Tsuande. 

"Long may I reign." Says Yami with a glint in his eyes, as if this was an inside joke that no one else but him could understand.

….

AUTHOR NOTE:

Yami and Tsunade didn't talk about Hachi due to it being a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e subject. Also Tsunade knows better than to say 'no' to Yami. He has a certain VERY dangerous reputation now.????
