Meeting Tsunade and a fight

Some Village

( I got a few things from the guideline, the rest is me )

When the three men had entered the city, Naruto was getting impatient; the old man said he would finally teach him the jutsu that he went along for on this trip. Sanosuke was also getting impatient; he wanted to see who this Tsunade person, and why she was so important.

"Wow, it pretty busy here in this town." the blond said as he looked at the crowded areas and stands.

"You know, playing is important too. Get some rest and then we can move onto the training." Jiraiya commanded.

Naruto looked right at him and nodded excitedly, he would do almost anything now to get this new jutsu.

"This festival is going to last awhile, so we are gonna stay here while it goes on. We're going to do our training here too."

Not trusting the old man, he hesitates to pull out his little frog wallet.

"Alright, I guess we could at least take a bit of a breather. Come on Sanosuke, let's have some fun." the both of them then went in the opposite direction of Jiraiya.

"Time to do some research." the old pervert then went off with a lecherous smile and giggle.

They walk for a bit, but then both their stomachs growl out for some goodies.

Hehehe, I guess we should fuel up, huh pal?" Naruto asked.

"I agree with you my friend, it would be in our best interest in acquiring something good to eat." Sanosuke replied.

"So what should we eat?" Naruto asked.

"How about to pizza?" Sanosuke replied.

"Naa how about ramen?"

"Ramen, Naruto that stuff can kill you. Besides pizza's better."

"No ramen is."

"No pizza is." Sanosuke said, with a little anger in his voice.

"Ramen is better." Naruto replied getting angry.

"Pizza!"

"Ramen!"

"Pizza!"

"Ramen!"

"Pizza!"

"Ramen!"

This went on for fifteen minutes, and most people were thinking 'What the hell?'

"Fine! We'll find a place with both ramen and pizza!" they both yelled at the same time.

A Pizza and Ramen stand

After eating a few bowls of ramen and alot of pizza. Finally they decided to try eachother's favorite food.

"Hey this pizza is pretty good." Naruto admitted.

"Same with your ramen." said Sanosuke.

"Alright let's play some games."

They spent a few hours playing, ( insert the kind of games you play at the fair ) and they went to look for Jiraiya.

Two hours later the two finally decided to look for Jiraiya...and so far they weren't having any luck.

"Hmm, where could that old pervert be?" it was getting annoying to try and find a man who can disappear at a moments notice. At this rated they wouldn't find him any time soon, another idea popped in his Naruto's head.

"Hey Sanosuke, we have to check the bars." but that didn't last a second when they heard the man they were searching for laugh.

They go in to a restaurant/bar and find none other than Jiraiya, having his fill with some ladies.

'I'm glad I didn't show him my frog wallet, I bet he would've jacked the whole thing by now by the looks of what he's eating now.' Naruto thought as his eyebrow was twitching.

"Hahaha, I just love the young gals." the old pervert then notices his student and travel buddy, standing right in front of him.

"Oh Naruto, Sanosuke, did you two already enjoy the festival?" Jiraiya then took a sip of some sake.

Naruto had enough at this moment, "What the hell do you think your doing, you old pervert?" the blond then stomped his foot on the table.

"We don't have time to be doing this. We need to got find that old woman and get her back to see Sasuke." he continued.

Just about when the old man was about to reply, three thugs come into view at the entrance. When the women saw who it was, they left without saying a word. As soon as Naruto threw the contents of the table to get a hold of the old man, one of the pieces of food flung and hit one of the men's jackets.

"What the hell?! What the hell do you do think you're doing fool?!" yelled out one of the thugs in the same mafia outfit as his companions, except the one who had a white jacket on, clearly the leader.

The blond and his companions look toward who was yelling.

"You put a stain on Bro's brand-new suit, pay for it!"

They then look at the tiny stain that was on it, hardly noticeable.

"Give up one-hundred thousand dollars now!" the second one demanded.

"Huh? Are you serious, a piece of crap like that costs that much? Man, you must've been ripped off, hahahaha." Sanosuke felt that the suit made him look like some weirdo bad guy from a movie.

Jiraiya had a smirk on his face while he was thinking the same thing and Naruto just stood there with a smirk on his face, feeling the same way as his friend.

"Stop that damn laughing, you think this is a game? You trying to pick a fight, huh? Heh, you shouldn't for your own sake, Bro here was a Chuunin from The Village Hidden in the Stones and is the killer ninja who was feared as a legendary Yami-nin!" ( dark ninja ) the thug said as he tried to scare the three ninjas; they all raised an eyebrow at him, but shrugged off his tactics, the guy was nothing special.

"Legendary? Huh? I don't think I heard you?" Jiraiya said as he tried to look mighty himself.

"IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WANT TO GET HURT!" the leader was clearly pissed off that they were not scared of him.

"Hey Naruto." the blond then turned his head to the old man.

"This is a good opportunity to show the jutsu I was talking about, the one that you'll be training for." the old man then held out his palm and a spinning sphere of blue light appeared in his hand.

The so called Chuunin leader had enough and charged in recklessly, his fist cocked back to punch Jiraiya's face in.

But right when he got in range, Jiraiya thrust the blue sphere into the man's chest. The man started to skid back, until he was lifted off the ground and sent sailing along with the two other thugs behind him.

They all crashed outside of the restaurant, making the sound known from quite a distance.

"Whoa, now that was pretty nice." Naruto said astounded.

When a small empty ball flew at Jiraiya, he caught it and then had an idea. He then went outside to speak to the beaten thugs.

"I went easy on you three, but I have to say, you all are sure weak."

The man who was hit by the jutsu was starting to come around and took a better look at Jiraiya.

"Are you the legendary-"

"I'm sorry I broke your stand." the old man said to the owner of the broken stand.

The leader thug then pulled out a wallet from his jacket, "Take this for repairs." he said weakly.

"Thanks."he took it and handed the money in the wallet over to the owner. "Hey, I'm going to take all the water balloons and all the regular ones too, is that okay with you?" the man only nodded, shocked as to what had happened.

Naruto and Sanosuke looked at the man who was hit, and took a good look at where he struck the man.

'Wow...it looks like...actually, I have no idea what to make of it.' Sanosuke thought.

'I can't wait to learn that jutsu.' was the only thing Naruto thought.

The Next Day

The group walked up to the outskirts of town and stopped where it had a good view of the town itself from a cliff.

"Finally, we are going to train. I am pumped up for this!" the blond said.

"Here, have this water balloon," the old man then tosses the balloon to him, Naruto gave a look that said 'what is this for' and Jiraiya answered the look.

"You watched the jutsu I used earlier carefully, right?" he got a nod as an answer.

"What kind of technique did it look like?"

Naruto thought back to when he used the jutsu on the ninja thug.

"Hmm, I far as I saw, the attack rotates around, and when I saw the guy's chest, I suspect it also drills through the enemy as well, thus meaning you held back some power so as not to kill him."

Jiraiya felt proud the boy deduced that much at least.

"Just in-case, let me go over some things for you." his face then turned serious. "With the tree climbing exercise, you accumulated and maintained a certain amount of chakra in a needed area. With the water walking exercise, you released a constant amount of chakra. You did these two previously, correct?" Naruto then nodded again.

"This time, for this water balloon exercise, you're going to create a flow with chakra. Simply put, a rotation," the blond nodded in understanding.

"I'll tell you the details of this jutsu once you are able to complete the basics. First, you accumulate and maintain chakra in your hand like the tree climbing exercise. Next, you release a constant amount of chakra like in the water walking exercise. Finally, you push and rotate the water inside the water balloon. These are the things you must do in this exercise." the old man saw that he understood.

'Hmm...rotation I get it.'

After he got that idea, he started to apply the idea to his right hand. The balloon then started to shape into a deformed ball; it then popped.

"Oh-ho, well I see that you had an idea that worked for you already. Well than, I guess we will go onto the second stage already."

He then handed him a rubber ball, the blond had confused look on his face,"This time, you have to pop this type of balloon" he then took out his own and popped it with one hand.

"Whoa, that was sudden." he then looked at the rubber ball.

"Alright, here goes nothing." he then applied his chakra to the rubber ball, but something wasn't going right.

"Huh? It should have popped by now." he then put more power into the ball, he then drew back his hand in pain, letting the ball bounce on the ground.

"See this training will be much harder." Jiraiya said.

He then practiced this until it was nighttime, that is when Sanosuke decided to help him out.

"Hey Naruto, I have a suggestion." he said.

"What ( pant ) is it?"

"Tell Kyuubi to put a tattoo on your right hand. It will give you a focus point, it will help you master that jutsu faster."

'Hey Kyuubi-sensei, is this true?'

"Yes it is, hold on."

Naruto then felt a pain in his right hand, and after it stopped he saw the leaf symbol. He then put the ball in his hand and started it again.

"Nothing like a little pain will stop me from finishing this step."

He then started to pump in more chakra, not even caring the pain his arm is going through, which was a lot considering him yelling. The wind around the area started to pick up, the source was the rubber ball around his hand, and as he was concentrating on the ball, he pulled his hand down. At that moment, the ball exploded with the energy he was emitting, and had him fly in the other direction.

Sanosuke stopped him from flying and put him up against a tree to rest.

Jiraiya then came up, after he felt that huge amount of chakra. He then saw Sanosuke set to Naruto by a tree, and went to check on the blonds condition.

"See, something like that won't ow! Damn hand hurts, not to mention my body. I guess I shouldn't have pumped in so much." Naruto tried to stand up but he dropped down on one knee in immense pain. Jiraiya stood there shocked.

'This kid just finished the steps in such a short amount of time? Minato he really is your son.' he felt great pride in taking in this student.

"Good job Naruto, you should feel proud."

"Huh? Why?" the blond asked clearly confused.

"That jutsu took the Fourth Hokage three years to create and master, I too had longer than a year to master the jutsu, so you're on well on your way onto quickly mastering this jutsu."

Naruto got a shocked look on his face, he couldn't believe he will master such a powerful jutsu.

"Are you serious?" he only got a nod from the old man, it took a long pause before he said his reaction.

"YES I'M THE BEST, OW!" his cheer was quickly cut off by the pain in his right hand.

"Okay, I think I'll lay off on using this hand for awhile. I just hope we don't get any trouble before we find the old woman."

"Don't strain yourself Naruto." Sanosuke said as she put his hand over his shoulder so he could walk.

Three Days Later

The two woke up, Naruto noticed the old man wasn't there.

"Hey Sanosuke," Naruto looked at his friend. "have you seen that pervert around? I don't see him here."

"Hm? Now that you mention, no, I haven't seen him since last night," Sanosuke then thought for a moment to think where the old man was. "Hmm, I do remember that he was out late last night."

"Hmph, I bet he was out peeping on some girl or maybe getting drunk, or some other perverted thing?" the blond said as he went to do his morning things, until the door opened for someone else to come in.

"You know, you could at least show some respect to your teacher brat." the old man was the one who came in, but as soon as he said his annoyance, his face turned serious.

"I've found out where Tsunade is, so we are leaving now."

"Hmm, so where is the old lady and what about my training?" he wanted to know the answer to them both, now.

"Well she's in a town called Tanzaku, and as for the training."

He then pulled out a balloon that had not been inflated, which he took care of by blowing air. He then tossed it over to the blond.

"The first step was rotation, the second step was power, and finally the third step is this." after he said that, there was a long pause, but he still didn't do anything.

"Are you going to show me or not? And what do you mean by 'this'?" Naruto was getting annoyed by the old man.

"Hehehe, it looks like I'm just holding the balloon in my hand, but if you must see, then I guess well see what's happening in the balloon with my left hand."

He then sets his left hand next to the balloon in his right hand, and a sphere of blue chakra appears in his left hand.

"Hey that-"

"It looks like a typhoon, doesn't it?" the old pervert said as he guessed at his student's thoughts.

"Hmm, so that's what's happening in that balloon, I knew I felt some power emanating from it, but I scratched off as something else." the blond said trying to get his sensei to speak in detail of what this exercise entails.

"Yup, that is what's happening." he simply said.

"Hmm, to be able to have such control that the balloon doesn't even move while with that much energy going into it. It seems that there's more power than when I popped the rubber ball and the rotation is also incredibly fast, hmm this will take some time to master I suspect." he then looked up to his sensei to let him know to continue.

"Alright listen, in this third step, you must use one hundred percent of the ability you learned in the first two steps and retain it." he then pulled up his right hand with the balloon in his palm, with the power still going in it.

"In other words, you have to keep your chakra's rotation and power at the maximum, create a thin layer within the balloon, and create an image that you are compressing chakra inside that layer."

"I see, so this exercise is to keep that power of the rotation I learned in the two steps and pop the soft balloon, huh? Now I understand the exercises, they're meant as control exercises, so that the user can use the jutsu to its fullest. For if the user didn't have any control, the power in it would just be wasted." Naruto then looked at the balloon in his hand intently.

"Sharp as always my boy, I'm proud to have taken you in as my student. If you can retain the small typhoon in your hand, the power will not disperse. The rotation will become faster, and the effect will become more concentrated, and its destructive power will become the ultimate. So that's how it is." he saw the boy nod in understanding.

On the way to Tanzaku, Naruto was desperately trying to retain the new jutsus form and was wasn't having good progress.

'To be able to do this, I need all of my power, but I can't use too much or I lose control. ( sigh ) this will take awhile.' the blond thought.

Tanzaku

"Just so you all know, Tsunade is really short tempered." Jiraiya warning the group as they finally made it to Tanzaku.

"Well then we need to find miss Tsunade or we won't know if she might go somewhere else next." Sanosuke said saying his opinion to the conversation, everyone agreed to what he said just now also.

'Hmm, I wonder what kind of kunoichi this Tsunade is...if the old pervert is trying to find her, she must be something.'

They found her in a resturant.

"Okay Naruto, Sanosuke let's go in."

When they entered, they both looked around until they heard a yell from a certain blond haired woman.

"Jiraiya?"

"Well, well, Tsunade." the old man said with amusement.

"What are you doing here?" Tsunade asked as she came out of her state of being drunk from drinking too much sake.

Naruto then set his bag down and thought. 'If she is Tsunade the Legendary Kunoichi, and miracle healer then I don't have a red furry daughter.'

Ami then pops out and says 'Hi daddy, can I have something to eat?' ( she ate his food supplies in his backpack ) Tsunade, Shizune, Sanosuke ,and Jirayia all bug out and are speechless. Ami then yumped and ate Tsunade's tray of fish and says 'Yummy fish daddy.'

Ami then sniffs Shizune and Tsunade and curls into Tsunade's lap and Naruto thought 'If Ami likes her then she is okay.' ( thankyou RasenganFin for the idea )

After that incident Tsunade started talking.

"What a day...seeing old acquaintances everywhere." the old lady said as she took a sip of some sake.

Jiraiya took a sip of his own and paused for a bit.

"Orichimaru," he said in a statement than a question.

"What happened?"

Naruto noticed she gave a warning glare to her female companion,

"Nothing much, we just said hello." she then took out a stack of cards and started to shuffle them.

"What do you want from me?" she asked as she laid the cards down after she was done shuffling.

Jiraiya then took the cards and as he shuffled them himself.

"I'll get straight to the point...Tsunade, the village has requested that you become the Fifth Hokage." as soon as he said that, Shizune, Sanosuke, and Naruto had shocked looks on their faces.

'Hmm, I should have seen this, but why so sudden? What exactly is going on here?' the blond tried his best to figure out the situation as the two played cards while they discussed the matter.

"Have you heard what has happened to the Third Hokage?" the old man said with his poker face on.

"Orichimaru killed him, right?" the busty blond said, not really asking.

"I heard from him directly." she then notices the Naruto and Sanosuke.

"Jiraiya, whose are the kids?"

"I'm Sanosuke."

"Naruto Namikaze," she then got a little shocked look.

"Nice to meet ya, you old bat." her eyebrow twitched at the greeting.

Jiraiya then proceeded to play cards.

"I'll say it again; the village has requested that you become the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade. So, what is you're reply?" he paused for sec before he asked the next question.

"Will you accept the job?" she took a long time in thought, too long.

"What's your answer Tsunade?"

She looked up from her cards and threw them onto the table, throwing in her hand of cards.

"Not possible…I refuse." she said with an edge to her voice. The answer shocked the rest, except Jiraiya who had a smile on his face for some reason.

"I remember that line," he said with cheer in his voice.

"I asked you to date me a long time ago. You said the same thing and turned me down."

"Just what the hell are you talking about, you perv? You said that we were going to take this person back to the village and have her heal Sasuke and Kakashi, right?! But you are asking her to become the Hokage, what the hell?! She even declined," the blond was getting pissed at the moment, why was the old man acting like that and why would the woman not take the place of being Hokage.

"Calm down, she is the only one suited to become the Fifth Hokage." he thought back on the time of the war.

"During the fierce war, she contributed greatly to Konoha's victory. Her combat and medical skills are still unrivaled. Also, Tsunade is the First Hokage's granddaughter. Combined that with her abilities, and she is the most suited to becoming the Fifth Hokage. If she does becomes Hokage, she will have to go back to the village and there, she can heal the two you mentioned." she began to take her cards back at that moment

"Also, this is a decision made by Konoha's highest decision makers, the advisors. It's not something that a gennin should comment on."

Naruto then got a pissed of look on his face.

"Jiraiya," they both look at the old lady.

"Your new apprentice seems to be ruder, ans stupider than the last one."

Ami then jumped from her lap, and growled at her.

'What the hell? Don't insult my daddy!'

"Ami watch your language."

'Sorry daddy.'

"Hey! The Fourth Hokages capabilities as a ninja were unrivaled in history. He was talented with techniques, incredibly smart, and popular. In fact Tsunade, he has all of these qualities, with the short time I've been with him, I'm sure of it."

"But even with all of what the Fourth Hokage had, he still died. He threw his life away for the village," she deadpanned and continued. "Life isn't like money, only idiots bets his life so easily."

To say Naruto was mad is an understatement, he was beyond pissed.

'An idiot! That's my dad she's talking about!'

"My grandfather and the Second Hokage wished to end the war, but they wasted their lives before they could accomplish that." she said with a little smirk.

"You've changed Tsunade," Jiraiya said, almost having sadness in his voice.

"I don't know what you have been thinking, but you put it in words."

She chuckled a bit, "I'm in my fifties, even if I look like this, time changes people," she then looked at him with her face behind the cards.

"Sarutobi-sensei is the same. If an old man tries to act brave, of course he'll die." Jiraiya had a hard scowl, Sanosuse was disgusted, and Naruto was gripping the table.

"The title of Hokage is a piece of crap, only an idiot becomes one."

Naruto's hand gripped the table so hard that the wood eventually gave and broke off. Everyone at the table looked at him, Tsunade looked quite surprised that he busted the table with such ease.

He stood up and gave her a hateful glare. "How dare you how dare you, anyone who mocks the Fourth Hokage, Shodaime, Nidaime,or the old man who I considered a grandfather, it doesn't matter to me what gender they are."

He then punched his fist into his palm. "They all deserve to have their ass kicked."

She then stepped up to the boy's eye level on the table.

"You've got some balls to say that to me, step outside." she said with a cocky grin which served to infuriated the blond.

"Tsunade!" Shizune wanted to stop this, but her sensei would never listen to reason when she acts like this. Jiraiya took that moment to sigh; he had the same thought as well.

"Even though I look like this, I was one of the Sannin. There's no need for me to get serious."

The old lady said with a cocky tone, she then held out her index finger upward.

"One finger."

"One finger?" Naruto asked intelligently.

"One finger, I will use this one finger to beat you." then she pulled a Lee and goaded for him to come with her hand out, telling him to come.

"Come on brat."

Outside

"Just to warn you, I have the power to make a Jonin piss himself."

"Nice lie brat."

"You'll regret those words, you old bat." and so he charged in, hoping to beat some sensed into this woman and to have her come back to Konoha and heal his team, one way or the other. And he rushed her.

Naruto was now closing in on the old woman,

'Let's see how she deals with a frontal assault. That way, I can get to know how skilled she is,'

He then threw three kunai at her, but she simply turned her head over and dodge them effortlessly. He then pulled out another kunai and aimed for her head, but she took the weapon by its ring and before he knew it, she was aiming straight for his head.

Quickly thinking of something he focused the chakra to his feet and jumped out of the way of the attack, skidding to the same spot he was in before the fight started.

"HEY BRAT," Tsunade yelled out to the boy.

"Why do you care so much about the title of Hokage?"

"Unlike you, I'm going to take the title of Hokage myself." he then paused a bit and looked straight into the woman eyes, his own eyes burning with determination.

"Hokage…being Hokage is my dream." he proudly announce with a smirk.

She had a shocked look on her face and started to think back on something, which didn't go unnoticed by Naruto.

'She's vulnerable.'

He then cocked back his right hand and started to pump chakra into it, then the blue sphere of chakra then appeared on his hand.

When she felt the spike of chakra, she saw him running towards him with the jutsu the Fourth Hokage used, she then heard him yell out.

"TAKE THIS!"

As he was in range to use the jutsu, Tsunade slammed her finger into the ground and upon impact; she made a fissure of sorts and made Naruto disengage the jutsu.

That let her have enough time to get in range of his forehead and flick him in the head, making him fly towards a wall.

"Jiraiya are you the one who taught him the Rasengan?" she got a nod as an answer.

"Only you and the Fourth Hokage can use that technique. Are you acting like a teacher and teaching him something he can't master? Don't give him any ideas!" Naruto harden his glare at that moment.

"That's why kid likes to daydream that he's going to be Hokage one day."

"WHO SAYS I'M DAYDREAMING, YOU IDIOTIC OLD HAG!" she then turned her attention back to the blond and saw the look in his eyes, they felt like they could make hell freeze over.

"I don't care what you say about me, but if you insult my dreams and think nothing of the consequences, then you are going pay. And besides, I bet I could complete it in three days tops. Considering that I completed the first two steps on the same day!"

When she heard the last sentence, she had a shocked look. But being the gambler she is, she heard the bet and took the chance on something.

"Well, well, now you said it boy. You know, a man never goes back on his word."

"Heh, like I ever go back on my word," he then powered down, seeing as how the fight seems to be done. "Because that's my nindo, my ninja way."

"Then how about we make a bet," she saw he had a confused look and continued.

"I'll give you one week; if you can the master move within that time, I'll acknowledge that you can become the Hokage and," She then pointed to her necklace with a crystal that was around her neck. "I'll even give you this."

"Tsunade!" Shizune then stepped up, surprised by her mentor at what she was doing. "That's an important-" but she was caught off by Naruto.

"What use would I have for a piece of junk like that?" to Naruto, it didn't look like much and he really didn't have a use for something worthless.

"Don't say such a thing Naruto," he then turned his head to his pervert sensei.

"That's a unique crystal which could buy about three mountains full of gold if you sold it, and it used to belong to the Shodaime Hokage."

"I see, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have it then," he said in a cocky voice.

"Okay, but if you can't master this move in a week and lose," she then got two wallets out, which turned out to bet his little frog wallet, and a black leather wallet.

"Then I'll take all of your money."

"Aw crap, that's my wallet." he then frantically looked high and low for his wallet in his pockets and everything else.

"Wait a second! That bitch stole my wallet!" Sanosuke yelled.

They then saw her attendant go to her and talk to her, by the looks of it, she was not agreeing with this bet, which the old lady didn't care. They then left, leaving the group of people behind.

"Sanosuke let's get training!" Naruto yelled.

"I'm with ya!" then they both ran off into the forest, with Ami trailing behind them.
