Tsunade's apprentice

Heartbroken Izumi returned home as she saw a middle-aged woman in the kitchen cooking food. This woman was clearly her mother, Hazuki Uchiha.

Turning her head to see her child with tears in falling from her eyes, she immediately rushed to her daughter and held her with both arms giving her a hug.

"Izumi, what's wrong?"

Letting her mother hug her, Izumi just continued to cry without responding to her mother.

"Izumi, it's okay tell me what happened."

Urged by her mother to speak Izumi finally wiped her tears and explained the recent events of what happened between her and Ren.

"Ren's going to leave me behind, I don't know what to do mom."

Hearing her daughter, Hazuki reassured Izumi, "Don't worry, he won't leave you behind or anything like that. In fact, I'm pretty sure Ren cares about you and everyone else apart of Team 2 very much. Didn't he say the memories you shared would be in his heart forever?"

Feeling less gloomy, Izumi wiped her tears, "Thank you mom"

"It's my job as a mother to reassure you when you're feeling down or motivate you and steer you towards the right direction when you're lost." Hazuki smiled.

...

It was the next day when Izumi was walking around the town still a little depressed, contemplating what she should do. Going through Konoha she arrives inside the library and picks up multiple books to read. Reading, she finds out about the legendary Sannin and their achievements.

"Wow! Tsunade is the most skilled person in medical ninjutsu and is considered the greatest medical-nin. Not only is she the greatest medical-nin she is also considered the world's strongest strength-wise!"

Picking up more book to read, Izumi immerses herself within those books as time slowly passes by.

...

It was now noon and Izumi was walking home stretching tiredly. Yawning she suddenly hears "Damn! My luck is so bad."

Followed by another voice which seemed a little grieved, "My lady we're out of money! Please call it a day."

"Tsk. I want to continue!" As she drank some sake.

The one drinking sake was a beautiful woman with what looked like a violet diamond tattoo on her forehead, brown eyes, huge breasts, and shoulder-length blonde hair that was tied into two loose ponytails followed by a fair-skinned woman with a slender build, jet-black eyes, and hair.

Seeing the duo, Izumi was instantly shocked as she knew the one leading was one of the legendary three Sannin, Tsunade!

Izumi just looked at the duo and laughed, but when she heard the duo again she was instantly shocked by what she heard.

"Lady Tsunade! We need to leave! It's way too late!".

"Tsunade? The legendary Sannin?" Taking another look at the drunk woman, Izumi confirmed her thought as she went up to the lady in black and asked: "Is that the legendary Sannin Tsunade?"

"Yes, despite how unsightly she is right now, she is most definitely lady Tsunade." She replied while sighing.

Izumi, however, didn't pay attention to the lady's disappointed and embarrassed sigh and went up to Tsunade before kowtowing "Can I become your disciple?"
