Chapter - 11

Tsunade was surprised her visitor was Naruto as he tended to barge into her office. He smiled at her saying, "Hey Grandma Tsunade," causing her to wince, as she didn't need the reminder of her age. Nor the blow to her ego that the boy she had at times fantasized about saw her as a grandma.

When she replied saying, "What do you want Naruto?" she had to admit there was a little anger behind it. "Don't tell me you are beginning to regret not going on your team's mission and now want me to find something for you to do?"

Naruto frowned at her tone, but didn't let it linger long. Instead he surprised her again saying, "Not at all. I admit I was somewhat bored so decided to pay you a visit."

"I see," Tsunade said signing the paper that she was looking over as Naruto made his way to the couch that laid against a wall for when she napped in the office on late nights. Putting it in the stack of completed documents, she reached for another one and winced. Tsunade saw Naruto seemed to pick up on it, but thought nothing of it. Absent-mindedly she said, "You must have mastered that jutsu you were working on if you aren't at the training field right now."

Naruto gave a sly smile saying, "You could say that. The results were far better than I could imagine."

"Really," Tsunade said looking up from her paper, "I'll have to find time for you to give me a demonstration."

"I'd like that," Naruto said pleasantly.

Tsunade looked at him a moment more finding something strange about his demeanor. He almost appeared calmer than normal she guessed, as he sat on the couch. Normally he'd be bouncing off the walls demanding a mission, or some other sort of activity to keep him occupied. However, at the moment he gave off the vibe that he would sit there all day if left alone.

Since he seemed content to remain still for a change she asked him a question that had been on her mind since his turning down the mission Sakura was on. "Naruto," she began and when he focused on her asked, "Why did you refuse to go and apprehend the spy?"

Naruto sat there with a thoughtful expression before saying, "Well at the time there was no other reason then I wanted to master my new jutsu. But now… I suppose I realize that even if this mission led us to Sasuke it wouldn't matter."

"What do you mean?" Tsunade said surprised.

"I think you know," Naruto replied but explained, "Before we left Pervy Sage told me to give up on Sasuke. I told him I couldn't do that, and while I still plan to return him to the village. I'm not going to make that my primary mission in life. I realize now that Sasuke has his own ambitions and that he believes he can't fulfill them here in Konoha. I might not understand them, but…I guess I don't need to. They make sense to him." Tsunade was flabbergasted but Naruto really knocked her for a loop as he added, "Besides, I believe that should I return Sasuke, you planned to lock him away in prison or something."

"He'd be lucky to make it to prison," Tsunade thought darkly remembering the condition Naruto had returned in after the failed mission to stop Sasuke from defecting.

"You don't seem too upset by that thought," Tsunade said cautiously, fearing the blonde was bluffing her, in order to find out her plans for the traitor.

Naruto shrugged saying, "He made his choices, and will have to pay the consequences for them I guess." As Tsunade nodded her agreement, he thought, "Kami knows if people learn what I'm planning I may be sharing a cell with him."

Tsunade signed the document she was working on and reached for a new one wincing again prompting Naruto to ask as she winced, "Are you alright Grandma Tsunade?"

"I'm fine," Tsunade said, "Just a small tweak in my shoulder."

"Can't you make it go away using chakra?" Naruto asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Medical ninjutsu is best used on real injuries," Tsunade said wistfully, "Not to avoid the aches and pains of getting older."

"Well I know what you need," Naruto said getting up from the couch. Tsunade watched wondering what he was up to until he got behind her chair. He placed his hands on her shoulders and began kneading them.

Tsunade was shocked, but almost as soon as he touched them the ache began to fade and a warmth began to spread throughout her. As she enjoyed the feeling his hands caused in her she asked, "Where did you learn to give massages this good."

Naruto chuckled saying, "Well I guess you could say it was a byproduct of my training with Pervy Sage."

"What do you mean?"

Naruto ignored her saying, "Let's move to the couch."

Tsunade nodded already missing the warmth of Naruto's hands as he pulled them away from her. She sat on the couch facing towards the door of her office leaning over her armrest. Naruto sat behind her and began working on her back. She groaned her approval as he worked his magic. But wasn't about to let the matter of how Naruto learned to give a massage on his trip go saying, "Now you were saying, how did you learn to do this?"

Naruto sighed guessing Jiraiya had brought it on himself saying, "From a girl at one of the brothels he would visit. When we had first started out on the trip, he'd pay some of the girls to make sure I didn't get up to any mischief. One of them decided to teach me how to give massages. She made it sound like training so naturally I needed to learn. Eventually I guess I got pretty good as the girls would line up for a massage whenever we were in town."

Tsunade had to agree and surprised herself at how calm she felt about learning that Naruto had been taken to a brothel. She suspected it was due to his currently putting the skills he had picked up to good use on her. However, she did plan to have words with her old teammate about his choice of babysitters.

Naruto smiled as Tsunade let the matter of his spending time in brothels drop. He had been channeling his chakra into her almost from the get go and was sure that she was beginning to succumb. If Tsunade didn't kill Jiraiya he would have to remember to thank him.

Tsunade mumbled, unaware that she was speaking out loud, "The girl that snatches you up is going to be very lucky." Naruto was about to respond but she added, "If only I was a few years younger."

The smile he had on his face turned wolfish as he asked, "What would happen if you were a few years younger?"

Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise and felt panicked that she had spoken aloud. She turned towards him to give some excuse, but as soon as she faced him found her ability to speak hampered as his lips connected with hers. As Naruto kissed her, Tsunade felt herself give into the pleasure that it was generating inside of her. She closed her eyes but then suddenly pushed him away.

"What's the matter?"

"This… this is wrong," she said standing and moving towards the front of her desk, "I'm old enough to be your mother."

Naruto could see her teetering though trying to convince her said, "It didn't feel wrong Grandma Tsunade."

"Idiot," she said wrapping her arms around her stomach and below her bust, "If you're going to try and seduce me the least you could do is stop calling me that."

"Okay Tsunade," he replied immediately.

Hearing the husky way he had said her name caused Tsunade to turn towards him. In her eyes, Naruto could see the many warring emotions she was feeling. However, the greatest of them seemed to be a desire to be wanted. Upon seeing that in her gaze, he closed with her never taking his eyes from hers. When he was right in front of her, she tried to look away so he gently placed a hand on her chin to make her keep eye contact as he said, "You don't need to be afraid to let go."

"I'm not afraid…" she tried to say but was silenced by another kiss. She placed her hand on his chest to push him away again but felt her strength leave her. Naruto felt Tsunade melt into him as she succumbed to the kiss so pulled her tight against him.

Tsunade couldn't believe she was making out with Naruto of all people in her office. What's more, she couldn't believe how good he was at it. She felt the sash holding her shirt closed loosen and fall away. Breaking the kiss, she tried to say, "Naruto we should st…," while holding her shirt closed.

But Naruto cut her off saying, "Shh, I want this to, Tsunade. But if you want to stop… then I will." She felt conflicted as she was afraid she would regret it the next day or feel guilty about it seeing herself as some sort of cradle robber. However she was aware that her body had reacted towards Naruto actions thus far feeling the dampness in her panties, as well as the aching nipples she was sporting.

She bit her lip which was a sign to Naruto that she was fighting the temptation she felt. Naruto decided not to push her. Feeling that maybe like Ino that she would come to him later. Nodding towards her, he said, "Forgive me if I crossed a line Grandma Tsunade."

He then turned to leave her office, but was stopped by Tsunade's quick, "Wait."
