Chapter 013

Shizune ran out of Tsunade's presence before anything else was said between them. The Slug Sannin was now alone with her boy. Sighing to herself, she said, "Why do I put up with them?"

Naruto started gurgling as she smiled and turned her attention to him.

"What's that," Tsunade said playfully to Naruto, "Because I have to? That's your decree as Lord Hokage? (Giving a motherly laugh)…You're no Lord Hokage in this house…You're my little Naru-chan and you're going to learn medic jutsu and how to be a medic-nin. Yes you are. Oh, yes you are…"

Naruto smiled back at her with his toothless smile almost as if he understood her words, causing Tsunade to smile even brighter.

Unknown to Tsunade was that the entire scene was being watched by Sandaime who was looking upon them from his specially crystal ball. Needless to say, he was very happy for both Naruto and Tsunade.

(That Night)

Many in Konoha were all fast asleep save for Konoha police and the ANBU. Meanwhile at the Senju residence, Tsunade was sleeping peacefully in her room. All was serene when Naruto started crying in his crib. Tsunade woke up to this and got up off her futon. Going over to Naruto, Tsunade picked him up and held him, resting his head on her shoulders while gently rocking him in her arms. Naruto soon calmed down and quieted much to Tsunade's delight. After another minute, Tsunade said thoughtfully, "I bet your hungry my little Naru-chan."

Tsunade sat down on her futon with Naruto and prepared to breastfeed him. Just as she as about to open her kimono however, the door to her room opened, revealing Shizune cradling something in her arms.

"I'm sorry Tsunade-sensei," Shizune said, "I came earlier to change Naruto's diaper and bring him back. I didn't want to wake you."

Tsunade saw that Shizune was cradling a fully awake Naruto in her arms. The Slug Sannin saw that something was definitely wrong with this scene.

"Wait a minute," Tsunade exclaimed, "If that child is Naruto, then who am I-"

Looking down at her arms, Tsunade saw that she was cradling a wooden log in her arms. While cradling the log, she turned and saw 'Naruto' quietly attempting to crawl and sneak away from her towards the opened window. As 'Naruto' was making his way towards the window, he then felt an extreme bloodlust approaching and coming from behind him. As he fearfully and slowly turned his head, he thought of one word that he thought might have saved him with puppy-eyes as he sucked his right thumb, "Mama…"

(Outside The House)

Sandaime Hokage was taking a late night stroll around the village when suddenly…

BAAAAAAAMM!

Sandaime turned to see a small figure coming flying from out of Tsunade's bedroom window. The figure was sent flying high into the skies across the village.

"There they go again," Sandaime said sympathetically knowing all too well who that figure was, "He'll never learn."

(On The Other Side Of Town)

The same small figure came crashing hard into the ground, forming a crater in it. The figure transformed back into his real self and was in much pain. He was heavily bruised all over.

"…Oooooooww…," Jiraiya mourned, "…So close…Damn that Shizune! I was just a few seconds from Paradise…and I was really looking forward to having some of that good stuff she treats Naruto to…"

Jiraiya slowly picked himself from out of the crater before checking himself for whatever additional damages was done to him as a result from the impact to the ground. In any case, he was in a whole world of pain.

(Meanwhile)

A very pissed off Tsunade was in her bedroom standing with a broken log in her right hand looking out through the window while Shizune was looking on with a pale and frightened expression. She threw the log pieces out of the window before calming down.

"Perverted excuse for a life form," Tsunade stated, "So much for his word about not coming between a mother and her son. I just might kill him if he pulls that stunt again."

Turning to Shizune, Tsunade walked over to her and took Naruto from her.

"Thank you Shizune," Tsunade thanked, "I'll take it from here."

Shizune nodded before quickly exiting the room and closing the door behind her. Tsunade then went over to her futon and sat down on it with Naruto in her arms. Opening her kimono, Tsunade began breastfeeding Naruto who accepted her nourishment with adoring want.

"My, you were certainly hungry weren't my little Naru-chan," Tsunade smiled affectionately while caressing Naruto soft blond hair. After a couple of more minutes, Naruto was done drinking her milk before Tsunade closed her kimono and stood back up, rocking and singing him to sleep (A/N: I'm feeling lazy about writing a song of any sort. Therefore, think up of any bedtime songs you know of that a mother would sing to her newborn). After another twelve minutes, Naruto fell fast to sleep in her arms. Going back to her futon, Tsunade laid Naruto down gently on it before lying down next to him and pulling the covers over them.

"Goodnight my little Naru-chan," Tsunade as before she gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead and going to sleep herself with Naruto cuddled close to her.

...

(Eight Years Later)

Over the course of eight years, Naruto (age 8) grew up being raised by Tsunade (age 46) and Shizune (age 23), with Jiraiya (age 46) staying around occasionally to guide Naruto's mental development as he gradually adsorbed Yondaime's mental and physical attributes. When it came down to it, what more did one really need? Many things happened during the course of time. Tsunade and Shizune were both medic-nins, obviously therefore, Naruto ended up having a fairly advanced vocabulary for his age complement with what he was getting from his incarcerated father Yondaime Hokage. Naruto however wasn't aware of the fact that Yondaime was sealed inside of him.

Around the time Naruto was about to turn five, Tsunade stopped breastfeeding Naruto. It surprised Shizune and even Jiraiya and Sandaime that Tsunade had been breastfeeding Naruto for nearly five years with the use of her Uetto Togi No Jutsu. And speaking of this jutsu, Tsunade taught it to selected female medic-nins of Konoha who sought become infant nursing-nins.

To say that this new medical jutsu was a mere success would be an understatement as many of females medic-nins from other villages travel to Konoha to learn this new medical jutsu, along with whatever other new medic jutsu they could learn. Tsunade didn't miss the opportunity to charge for the training, which surprisingly wasn't refused since she originated the jutsu. Tsunade's new jutsu and several others she was willing to teach made quite an impact in the medical practice, which helped boost her reputation highly in the medical fields. With the money she was making though, Shizune had to be on her back constantly in order to prevent Tsunade from gambling it all away, and pay off the debts she owes.

Growing up with a family, one's parents naturally pass on what skills they have to their children. A father will gladly teach his children how to play a sport or practice a trade. A mother will teach her children, whether they like it or not, social etiquette and how to deal with people, and so on. Now when you're growing up with a mother and sister who contributed a great deal toward modern medic-nin theory, you pick up some things. Of course it wasn't until shortly after Naruto's fourth birthday that he actually started to actively follow in his mother's footsteps in the medic field much to Tsunade's joy.

Sandaime didn't mind Naruto learning to be a medic-nin. This was in contrast with the time when he was younger when he turned down the idea Tsunade suggested in training shinobis to be medic-nins years ago. His reasons at the time were because during that time Konoha was at war and had little time and resources available to even begin starting up medical training course for shinobis. But now times have changed and things are different now.

If she wasn't teaching medic-nins, healing, performing surgery, or gambling, Tsunade spent large measures of her time with Naruto and teaching him, whether it was in the arts of medicines, jutsu or combat, although she was a bit of a slave driver when it came down to learning healing and medic-jutsus. Even that was a bit of an understatement. It was perfectly clear to everyone how attached and very protective the Slug Sannin was with Naruto. For any mother who cared deeply for their children it was truly understandable.

On occasions, Tsunade took long distance travels from Konoha and journeyed to other villages, whether it was for medical businesses or gambling fun. Naruto was taken wherever she went and Shizune followed of course. Shizune and Naruto became very close as she became a big sister figure to him, thus being called Shizune-neechan by Naruto. To Shizune's dismay though, Naruto did pick up some of Tsunade's habits on gambling. However, to Tsunade's annoyance though, Naruto was actually a little better than her and even won a few games to Shizune's surprise.

Sandaime became like a grandfather to Naruto, although he's rather annoyed at the fact that Naruto constantly refers to him as either old man or old geezer; something he suspects the boy picked up from Tsunade. Once in a while, Sarutobi would pay Jiraiya some visits during his training session with Naruto. From what Sandaime was seeing, Naruto was making impressive progress. The aged Hokage knew of the nickname Jiraiya gave Naruto and found it fitting in some respects; although Jiraiya would call Naruto "Neo Yondaime Hokage" in a surprisingly mocking way since Naruto started calling him ero-jisan (perverted uncle).

In spite of this, Jiraiya did become an uncle figure to Naruto, a perverted uncle nonetheless though. Although he helped in training Naruto in how to control some of what he already acquired from Yondaime without his knowing of it yet however, Naruto grew annoyed at the number of times Jiraiya would get distracted for periods of time in looking at pretty girls and women when he was supposed be training him instead.
