7 Tsunade and Mako!!! So It's Not Just Hinata?? Is It A Coincidence Or Something More??

Tsunade's POV:

Tsunade was bored!! She always got bored whenever she had to do official work. Though it was necessary for her to do paperwork it ddint mean she WANTED to do it, prefering to go out drinking or gambling. However, though she actually had the intention of doing one of those exact things (gambling) she was caught by Shizune who scolded her for neglecting her duties as hokage.

Now, with Shizune watching over her, she was forced to play catch-up with 2 large stacks of papers containing bills, missions, letters, etcetera. It seemed like she would have to pull an all nighter just finish the whole thing which she didn't find very appealing. She would have gladly slept on the desk but Shizune was still watching her intently so she could only continue working.

It was at this moment that Kakashi chose to enter. He didn't even knock on the door as he usually did but walked right into the room. "Excuse me for interrupting, but I figured you wouldn't mind as its about our young world traveller."

Tsunade, who had been on the brink of just sleeping anyways, put down the paper in her hands and stood up from her desk. She did a good job of hiding it, but she was beyond relieved that Kakashi had arrived as she would be able to shirk her duties to tend to other matters. "Its about the young man?" Tsunade asked as she stepped from behind her desk.

It was then that she noticed the figure lying on Kakashi's shoulder. It was clear that he was injured, the rips on the hoodie and blood soaked into it clear enough for her to see, but she wasn't clear on HOW he gotten like this. However, she fogured she could find out later and decided to heal him right away.

"Lets go, follow me," Tsunade said as she hurriedly walked out the room. "Theres a room at the end of the hall thats empty and even has a bed. Its meant for those who need to spend the night in the building and it'll be perfect for the occasion. Can you summarize what happened?"

Kakashi gave a detailed summary of the events that had transpired including the bits about Mako's black chakra and his fight against Kiba. There was actually a bit more that he wanted to say, such as theories and opinions, but he decided to just end his explanation with the Mako collapsing at the end of the fight.

"Okay," Tsunade said as he lead Kakashi into an empty room containing only a desk and bed. "Lay him face down on the bed and then you may leave. I can handle it from here. I'll call on you later to hear your full report."

Kalashi nodded before retreating from the room, closing the door behind him as he went, leaving Tsunade with alone with an unconscious Mako. He knew that Mako would be okay because even before he had picked him up, Mako had already stopped bleeding.

Tsunade tugged off the bloody and now ruined hoodie and tossed it to the side. She needed to get a clear assessment of the wounds and having the hoodie on him would've gotten on her nerves. However, taking off the hoodie actually made her notice something that made her take a step back in surprise.

Where the should've been a wound was instead numerous scars crisscrossing themselves along his entire back all the way down until it almost reached the base of his tail. Though there was no wound, she wasn't surprised by this as much as the kid was strange enough as it was, but the scars all looked rather deep and jagged, not a single one looked like it had been a clean cut.

"Wow, that looks painful and I'm not even the one with the scars," Tsunade muttered as she summoned chakra to her hands. Green light began to emanate from them as she began working to see if she could do anything about the ugly scars lining his back. However sue gave up after 5 minutes when she saw that it had no effect.

"Huh, I guess its just not that easy to erase the scars of the past, huh?" Tsunade said with a rather sad smile. "Guess I'm not the only one with a rough past. Then again, I wasn't born an abnormality."

She knew from the start that the boy wasn't from a world full of half humans with animal ears and tails. He had obviously made that up in order to convince them he was from another world. Though it had worked, she still knew it was a lie and that, most likely, he had been born with the ears and tail and had been entirely different from everyone else.

She reached down and traced a finger along one of the more prominent scars. It was sad to see what people did to those who were different and began to empathize with the wolf boy in front of her. She wondered if he was actually wounded beneath that indifferent and bored demeanor, using his expressions as a guard against the world. It was entirely possible that this was the case, or she might also be entirely wrong and was just making up random assumptions.

It was at this moment that Mako came to, opening his eyes which had returned to their regular heterochromatic state. It was clear that he was back to normal as he struggled to sit up, but ended up falling back down onto the bed.

"Where am I?" Mako muttered softly as he moved his head, looking around the room. "How'd I get here?"

"Afternoon brat," Tsunade said with a small smile. "Good to see you alive and kicking. I thought you'd be out of it for another day or so. Your recooperative ability is amazing, but its only natural as you seem to be utilizing your infinite supply of chakra to heal yourself....which I'm curious as to how your doing it."

Mako looked confused, his brow furrowed as he twisted to lay on his back. He didn't have enough strength to get up so the best thing he could do was roll over to look at the ceiling. "I feel like my head was hit by a brick!! What the literal fuck!!'

"You passed out after your fight with Kiba," Tsunade explained as she sat down at the end of the bed. "From what I was told, you were pretty strong after your hoodie got destroyed. Is there anything special about it? It seems like a normal piece of clothing."

Mako rubbed his temples and shook his head. "Don't worry about it, its a rather long story that I wouldn't want to bore you with. Its in the past now so if its gone its gone, no use crying over spilled milk." Mako grimaced, making clear that his headache wasn't going away.

"Hmm, you seem to be going through the symptoms of what happens after you use too much chakra," Tsunade said. "I find that strange though since you seem to have an endless supply of chakra coursing through you."

Mako glanced over at her and actually gave her a smile, one that surprised her. "Its okay, I'll be fine. Headaches usually go away after a while and I have no choice except to wait as you guys probably don't have any ibuprofen."

Tsunade recovered from her surprise quickly and nodded. "Okay, then I'll just leave you alone for now, but I do have a few questions for you that I need to ask. Its in regards to you in general, but its also rather personal."

Mako nodded his head as he once again attempted to sit up, but failed again. He decided to simply go to sleep after Tsunade had left, take a quick nap to get him back onto his feet.

"The moment I layed eyes on you, I felt this sort of pull, an urge to get closer to you," Tsunade began with an awkward expression that quickly turned into a rather annoyed one. "Its rather disconcerting and very annoying as its even affecting me when I'm away from you. I was wondering if it was possible that you were the one doing it. If you are, I would recommend you turn it off before I end up getting pissed."

"You already look like your pissed," Mako pointed out, rubbing his temple. "However there's nothing I can do as I literally have no idea what your talking about. Of course if I did, turning it of would be a no go as I kinda don't have to listen to you."

Tsunade, after hearing what he said, clenched her hand into a fist and grit her teeth. "You lack strength right now and your STILL talking back to me? You got some balls on you kid, I'll give you that."

After a good minute of sitting there, Tsunade eventually sighed and relaxed, letting her hand fall to her side. "Whatever you say brat. Your just lucky I don't want to go through the process of healing you up after breaking a couple of your bones. It would be much more work and it would just be added to the already mountain of work I have to do."

Mako watched as Tsunade stood up from the bed and crossed her arms underneath her rather large chest, making them stand out even more. "I'll be back to check on you in an hour or so. Get some sleep brat!!"

"Better believe I will Tsunade," Mako said as he closed his eyes.

"Thats LADY Tsunade to you brat," Tsunade said before she walked out, shutting the door behind her.

"Nothing lady-like about you though," Mako muttered as he smiled to himself before falling asleep.
