Tsunade's Love For Wood (1)

"Hey~ still not talking?" Finding it rather easy to take a break in the morning since one outraged redhead seems to be in need of some comfort while Nono left to buy them breakfast, Kai leaned forward to keep spooning the being wrapped in a blanket completely. Her muffled reply only made him chuckle further.

"Shut up! How could you NOT tell me that? I cried for days!"

"Well... by the time I got to know about this, you were already accepting that she passed away," he smiles and pries away the top of the blanket to reveal her disheveled red hair of a nest. Brushing her hair away, Kai's smile broadens as Kushina was already facing him.

Her petite form easily nuzzled against his chest and her pout was the most inflated he'd ever witnessed.

"Knowing that she was alive didn't make things any easier. Not to mention the fact that she..."

His words fail to escape his lips which picks at her interest and she snarled softly, "Want to complete your words?"

"Well, I suppose... she implied that she wanted a piece of my action? I could be wrong—"

"Grandma said what—"

Kai covered her mouth with a frown and promptly pinned her onto the bed before sitting on top of her.

"And that is why some things are kept from you, idiot!" Kai hisses softly. Although their room was pretty soundproof, she needed to control her tongue a bit more.

Squirming under him and impishly licking at his palm to make him pull his hand back, Kushina scoffs, "Fine! I won't talk about it! I won't talk about anything, dattebane! Just talk to Sensei, Nono, and Mikoto when she arrives, or bark with Tsume for all I care! Go on! Go to Grandma Mito and do whatever weird stuff you are into! You're just the worst!"

Kai exhales a snort and gets off of her. They rarely do have disagreements, nothing a bowl of ramen wouldn't solve, but Mito did dote quite a bit on Kushina. And... well, the actual party to blame was nowhere to be found so that's how Kai found himself facing the heat. It was certainly strange for Kushina to be ACTUALLY angry with him and now that he was experiencing it, Kai just found the sensation... irritating, to say the least.

"You know what, sure. Don't talk to me. Focus on Kyubi instead and tame it. You'd at least get to leave once in a while once you've gotten things a bit under control."

Oh, he was informed of what Mito did. It was somewhat similar. She, too, stored the Yin half of the Kyubi in her strength of hundred seals but unlike them, she didn't make any further changes aside from basing it on four symbols seal.

Kushina sits up and stares at Kai for a few seconds. And then, with a snort, she throws a pillow at his face, "So you'll really just leave me for them?!"

"Ugh... come on!" Kai groans in reply, "I'm not leaving you! This is so stupid!"

"There you go again, calling me names!"

"I'm not calling you stupid! I'm calling this situation stupid! If you're angry at Mito... just take it out on her when you see her!" Kai huffs and throws the pillow back at her face.

Letting out a quiet 'oof', she clutches the pillow but then blinks in surprise, "I... can go see Grandma?"

"Once you show Hokage you and Kyubi are not on hostile terms and are manageable, sure. I'll help you get the mission and even tag along with you," Kai shrugs and then relays his standing mission due to Uzu, the completion of which will grant him the title of Hokage.

The information came as a surprise but Kushina... found herself calming down a little.

"Oh..." she mutters and then looks at him thoughtfully, "Um... sorry... I mean it. It's just... you can be such an ass!"

Deadpanning, Kai lets out an exasperated sigh, "You're damn right. At least, you're being angry for the right reasons now instead of things I had nothing to do with. So? Hungry?"

Kushina averts her gaze and pouts, "I don't wanna leave this bed... just for today..." she glances at him and bats her eyelashes as if trying to convey something with the coy look on her face as he chuckles, "Well, I'm already late for training with others... so might as well... hmm, maybe cook ramen with Nono and bring it here in the bedroom for everyone?"

Looking away as she leans into her pulled-up knees, Kushina agrees in a low tone, "If that's what you want... You don't really listen to me so I can't change your mind, can I?"

Smirking, Kai leans forward and kisses the top of her head, "I genuinely want you to rest. Trying to take on Kyubi without any tricks won't be easy and you need an honest cooperation so... just stay here. Laze a little. You know what, I'm not leaving the house today at all."

"Really?" Kushina perks up instantly.

"Fuck yeah!" Kai scoffs, "If anyone else wants something from me, then can come to our Pad. Besides, it's been a long time since we just spent time playing around instead of training."

Kushina's eyes practically sparkle but suddenly slumping back onto the mattress and covering herself with her blanket, she lets out a muffled grunt, "Sure... But you should go down... Ramen won't cook itself."

Intending to laze just as much, Kai simply wears a shirt and uses Hiraishin to enter the kitchen and wait for Nono to return.

As he left, Kushina pulls her head out of the blanket with her cheeks flushed and a somewhat cheeky and foolish grin plastered over her lips.

---

The Next Day.

Kai kept his word and lazed. Mikoto would return by the end of the week which is a few days away. But he didn't intend to stay in the bed the next day. So, taking up his Sensei on her invitation to Shikkotsu Forest, he arrived at one of the three legendary locations and found Tsunade leaning against one of the trees with her eyes shut and arms crossed under her large bandaged bosom. His arrival was quickly noted as the woman was in her Sage Mode but Kai was quick to note the shift in her usual violet diamond seal as it was now circular instead.

"You changed it," Kai grins only for Tsunade to scoff, "Of course, I did. Or did you assume that I wouldn't be able to?"

"You're the Sensei, of course, you know better," Kai shrugs and Tsunade opens her eyes, groaning somewhat, "Am I, now? You've stopped treating me as a Sensei, lately. Just an observation."

Gasping as if she had uttered something heretic, Kai questions, "Did I? When? My god! To think I would reveal such a behavior..."

As her glare sharpens, Kai finally snickers and rubs the back of his head, "So? Sensei? Why did you call me here?"

"I've noticed something else... my body. As we noted from the reaction of grandpa's cells in Danzo... even my body is getting younger. The Body Transformation technique now also affects my organs and hormones, which means that I can retain my youth however I wish... you know, according to data, I'm back at my intended age now."

"42?" Kai questions.

"Fuck off," Tsunade growls in annoyance, "27."

She whispers... feeling a little bit complicated again but the next second, her height begins to recede and so does her bust. Her grey, low-cut kimono top, sarashi, and her pants drop down her body as she sticks her somewhat petite form up with hands akimbo. A rather furious blush covers her cheeks and neck as she snickers impishly, "But screw that. I'm 17 now!"

Kai grins, too. He's just gratified that Tsunade was more accepting of their situation because he understood that it was more complicated on her end. It was the same case as him with Nono, Tsume, and Kushina.

Letting his gaze rest on her naked form out in the open, Tsunade looks a little hesitant and then adds, "There is also something else..." she bends over to pick up her top and dons it loosely, much to Kai's reluctance.

"There is something else I want to show you..."

She mumbles under her breath.

Yes, aside from her body reacting astonishingly positively to Senjutsu Chakra that boosted her immune system to high heavens, increased her physical and mental resilience by many folds, and even, well, naturally granted her the key to eternal youth from the looks of it, she had gained something far too notorious.

Holding her hands together, interlocking her fingers, Tsunade puts strength in her voice as her verdant green irides glow with chakra, "Wood Style: Hut!"

*Creak*

*Tumble*

Thick roots and branches tear out of the ground around Tsunade and fashion themselves into a rather neat hut. Their originally rough appearance smoothens out and gives off a sense of master craftsmanship.

Walking out of the hut slowly, Tsunade thins her lips wryly and hums, "I guess... I really am Hashirama Senju's grandaughter, huh..."

Kai, meanwhile, watched the show of Mokuton with his parted in shock.

Fuck eternal youth...

THIS is crazy!

"How... ehm, when did this happen?"

Kai walks over and touches the wooden surface only to feel it drain his chakra ever so slightly and not just regular chakra— senjutsu chakra, too.

"It's just a passive drain... I guess? I'm still not good at it. Maybe I can control it better later..." Tsunade informs as she notes Kai's expression shifting slightly and adds, "It happened while I was marking myself with the Strength of the Adamantine Sage... I could distinctly sense myself connected to the trees and you know... common sense dictated my next steps. Learning a few jutsu left by Grandpa was easy once I got the hang of mixing Water and Earth Jutsu."

"Only water and earth?" Kai questions incredulously. He, at least, expected nature energy to be involved but Tsunade nods nonetheless, "Senjutsu Chakra works the best with it, yes... but it really is an elemental Kekkei Genkai, nothing more. Like the Ice Style of the Kiri. If I have to say, after obtaining this Kekkei Genkai... what made Wood Style so feared wasn't this element... but Hashirama Senju himself."

Kai accepts things as they are. After all, he didn't have any elemental kekkei genkai but with Tsunade having it... he could finally confirm his suspicions, "This Wood Style... is it like the Iryo Ninjutsu where we need to have a specific proportion of Yin and Yang nature in chakra?"

Tsunade smirks slightly, "That's exactly how it is. My body can instinctively form this balance and ratio of chakra... but I suppose... I could try and teach someone?" Her eyes narrow down, "For good compensation, of course."

Kai blinks in surprise, "I see... well, when you meet Sensei, tell her that I need to speak with her."

Rolling her eyes, Tsunade instantly pulls Kai into the hut as he gasps, "Right in the morning?! That's quite— ooh~ I guess I'll shut up!"

*Poof*

A sound of a plume of smoke bursting into the hut echoed as the door shut itself up.

Alternate Title: Tsunade REALLY Loves Wood

***

A/N: I know of theories where the wood style could be a mix of earth water and yang or nature energy but that would make it a Kekkei Tota instead of Genkai... and something tells me that Yamato ain't talented enough for the former. And there is only one confirmed Kekkei Tota. So, as I wrote, Hashirama Senju made the wood style rise in notoriety and not the other way around. Besides, Hashirama is already special being an incarnation and all so he would have been feared even using basic earth style and stuff. I suppose, the only special thing to wood style will be suppressing and draining chakra, like the Adamantine Chains of the Uzumaki.
