"I require you to retrieve Tsunade of the Sannin," Minato told Naruto as he walked into the Hokage's office after being summoned by Neko. "Why do I need to?" Naruto asked. "Because we're in need of better healers," Minato stated. Naruto nodded. "I will leave immediately," Naruto stated, grabbing his return pass and shunshinning to the gates. 

Naruto was walking along the path, about a quarter of the way to the first gambling hotspot he wanted to check before checking the most money-making ones when he felt several chakra signatures enter his sensory zone. One of them had the chakra capacity of a jinchuriki, along with two more having about high anbu captain level reserves, and Naruto immediately knew what was happening. He was near a specific area of Kumogakure that a friend he met, Yugito Nii, tended to train in every day. Naruto decided the detour was worth it and started tree jumping, deactivating his sealing seals by half, causing a tremor to shake across the world. Naruto started moving faster and faster until he crashed into a wall, right in front of Yugito, a man whose name was Deidara according to the bingo book, and a man named Sasori, also from the bingo book. Naruto stepped out of the hole in the wall he made, staring at Sasori and Deidara. "Interesting, a pair of artists who wish to get others to acknowledge their work," Naruto said. Sasori and Deidara instantly moved into fighting stances, this time at Naruto. I know it's strange, but remember that even though Kakuzu and Hidan attack Yugito in canon, they're a part of Naruto's village/fortress so like... Naruto just tossed a kunai at their face and Sasori blocked the one coming at him with his puppet tail, while Deidara blocked it with a kunai. Deidara then made a clay bomb boy and launched them all at Naruto, who simply activated his mangekyou instead of his KNB and Naruto absorbed it with his Kamui. Naruto jumped into the air and twisted in mid-air, dodging a poisoned senbon needle coming at him from Sasori and tossed two kunai. Sasori and Deidara, realizing they couldn't win, decided to retreat and regroup to make a better plan. "Yugito!" Naruto called. The long blond-haired curvaceous female turned around, noticing Naruto. "Naruto?" She asked hesitantly. Naruto nodded and the two hugged before Yugito gave him a twice-over. "My my, someone's become a hottie," Yugito said. Matatabi was yelling in her head about how in the third year of his training, he absolutely shredded her lights out in bed, causing Yugito to blush. "Maybe you shouldn't be saying these things, like, I'm in CRA and all for my clan so my sisters don't need to suffer, but I think you should know so you don't get yourself stuck on the pole of self-emotional-harm," Naruto warned her. Yugito just gave a perverted grin, indicating she was fine with sharing, causing Naruto to sigh. "Whatever," He muttered. "So you want to come with me on a mission I got to do? It involves Tsunade Senju of the Legendary Sannin," Naruto asked. Yugito quickly let out a nod, and the two were off. 

Time Skip Nine Hours

Naruto and Yugito just got through the gates to the first gambling spot when a loud rumble sounded from the area, causing Naruto and Yugito to go check it out. They noticed a pretty girl who looked about twenty watching with a pig in her hands as Tsunade tore up rocks in the mountain. "You know, if you need help with money, you could just ask a distant relative right?" Naruto asked between Tsunade's punching breaks. "Distant relative?" Tsunade asked hesitantly. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto stated calmly. Tsunade's eyes widened slightly. "I've come to ask for you to come back to Konoha to help run the Hospital. In fact, just to sweeten the deal, I'll make a gamble," Naruto finished, perking Tsunade's interest. "A bet ay, tell me, what are the wagers," Tsunade asked. Naruto let out a little smirk. "Not sure if you've heard of the book series more popular than Jiraiya's, but I wrote that, and I'm willing to give you a quarter of my entire fortune, but if you lose, you come back with us. The bet, however, is based on a fight. Fists only, me versus you," Naruto stated. Tsunade let out a laugh. "Yeah sure brat! Be prepared to give me that fortune. In fact, to make it more interesting, I'll throw in my necklace," Tsunade said. Shizune started looking a bit worried, but Naruto merely winked in her direction, easing Shizune's nerves a little. Naruto weaved through a few hand signs. "Wood Style, wooden arena jutsu!" Naruto said. A large ring appeared around Naruto and Tsunade, covering the area and Shizune, Yugito, and Jiraiya were in the stands. "HAJIME!" Jiraiya yelled. Suddenly, thousands of clones appeared around the arena, cheering on Naruto and Tsunade felt intimidated and scared before remembering that they were all Naruto clones.  The two then started fighting, exchanging punches and dodging blows. Eventually, the two separated from the fierce exchange, both panting heavily. Tsunade was slouched slightly while Naruto was just panting. Tsunade went in for a final blow, which was her strongest one that she's possibly ever done. Naruto merely sighed and Tsunade gasped. As the smoke and dust from the force of the punch cleared, she noticed something horrifying. Naruto had stopped her fist entirely, with just four of his fingers. Naruto smirked at her look of awe and tossed her into a ring on the wall. "I'm strong, and now you'lll be coming back with us," Naruto stated. He picked Tsunade up, forgetting his strength retrainers were still inactive and got a face-full of boob in his face, which he quickly tossed to Jiraiya, who gained a perverse grin but Shizune snatched Tsunade's limp form. Naruto sighed and the five of them, six including TonTon, started walking back to the hidden leaf. Yugito branched off in the middle. heading back to the hidden cloud.
