"Naruto Uzumaki, The Jinchuuriki of Nine Tails"

"Haah!" Hiroto sighed in relief as he dropped his transformation after sensing the area and making sure no one could see them.

"Hiroto, I asked you to not say anything in the meeting, what was that?"

"Haha! Well, I was getting bored and it was fun looking at their tame expression. Usually, they would look at others as if everyone was beneath them."

Tsunade looked at him smiling after bullying them slightly and then shook her head.

"So, what do you think?" Tsunade asked as she sat on her place after dropping the cape and the side.

"About what?"

"How everyone in the Konoha will react? You know, I don't really want to release Hiruzen's deeds as it would surely cause a lot o ruckus and chaos if used in a different way. Besides, I am sure other villages will know about me having Wood Release and me being Hokage, they will try to take advantage of this situation."

Hiroto thought for a moment and then said, "Indeed. Then we just need to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, let's wait for them and we will also try to take advantage of the situation. Besides, regarding information about the deeds, you don't have to release it but be sure to use them to scare the leaders of the clans."

"Hmm."

They remained silent for a minute and then Hiroto looked at Tsunade and asked, "Remember what I said before the meeting?"

"About the questions? Yeah, I remember, With the look on your face, I am sure it's going to be a bad one."

Hiroto looked at Tsunade and asked, "Who do you see me as? And what do you see me as?"

Hearing this, Tsunade looked at Hiroto and started laughing.

"Pffff! Hahahaha! So that's what your question is, I thought you are going to ask something different. Hahahaha."

Hiroto deadpan at Tsunade laughing and said, "Answer me."

"Hahaha! Brat! I am not weak enough to substitute you as Dan or Nawaki, sure I get sad sometimes thinking about them but I have already moved on. For me you are you, they are they. Just where did this question come from?"

Hiroto looked at Tsunade and asked, "Then why did you help me that easily? Knowing you, you could have just ignored me or left us behind. I am sure you have no reason to come----"

Flick

Tsunade flicked his forehead as she heard him talk.

"Hiroto, with just what you said, I am sure you know nothing about me. Don't judge me because of what you saw in the dreams you talk about. Don't even think for a second that I am the same as what you saw in your dreams."

"As for why I helped you? Well, it was because of the desperate and guilty look you had in your eyes. Even Shizune had noticed something was wrong with you when you talked about Konoha and your dreams. I had to ask her to leave the matter as I was waiting for you to open to meet."

"But I must say, I was amazed by your knowledge and your talent. Tell me, I was your lost straw and if I ignored you, you would have done something you would regret in future, right??"

Hiroto was stunned as he heard her. He unconsciously nodded at her words as he was really going to do some things he would regret in the future.

"Now, I am glad that I helped you. The look in your eyes wasn't something my Granpa would like to see on a ten-year-old face. Besides, you reminded me of myself who tried to solve everything in the past and the one who gradually lost everything precious to her."

"So cheer up, You have someone to count on. I, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade Senju would even hold the sky if it falls for you and everyone."

(And that's how I met my children's mother. Khekhekhekhe, Just kidding. Well, who knows?)

Tsunade with a bright smile and Hiroto was so shocked and blinded by it. A single tear escaped his eyes which he wiped and then said with a smile, "Yeah! I will also help you in holding the sky, after all, I am going to be strongest in the world."

Tsunade smiled as she felt the darkness around Hiroto fade away and she was now amazed at how cute he looked when he smiled.

"You should smile more, you look more cute that way. Also, I don't need your help for some years. Till then, you can do whatever you want." Tsunade said while pinching his face.

'She is treating me as a child.'

This thought appeared on Hiroto's mind and he threw it away for the moment.

"You too, you were too beautiful when you smiled before."

"Hehe! So now you have started to respect me, right? Right?" Tsunade went back to herself and Hiroto lost all the respect he had for her. Still, he was happy and thankful for her words as he could now feel a change in himself.

"Let's leave this place, I am feeling hungry. Besides, Shizune and others should be waiting for us." Tsunade said while standing up and Hiroto nodded at him.

"Before that, let's go and meet someone else. Someone who had been living alone because Hiruzen wanted a puppet for himself."

Tsunade raised her brows at it and asked, "Who?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, The Jinchuuriki of Nine Tails. He will also live with our future."

Hearing this, Tsunade frowned for a moment and said, "Let's go and see what Hiruzen had done with the child."

The duo disappeared from the meeting room and Hiroto, who was followed by Tsunade arrived in front of a building.

"You mean the Naruto, a six-year-old boy who lives alone in this wretched building?" Tsunade asked as she sensed the Chakra in the building and found one.

"Yeah! Let's go and meet him, To be honest, I am really mad at Danzo and Hiruzen for it. Naruto is the son of Minato and Kushina and he lives here. Hiruzen took all of their money, Jutsu, and properties and kept it for himself. We will meet Minato later."
