Naruto~Trip Back In Past

Chapter Sixteen

"Come on! Why won't you tell me?" Jiraiya needled his goddaughter as they walked into Tanzaku Town where Jiraiya heard Tsunade was located.

"I have to have some secrets Ero-Sennin." Narumi said cheekily. "Now are we going to find Tsunade or not?"

"Yeah, yeah come on brat I heard she is in a sake bar somewhere in this town." Jiraiya huffed, but was not done with this topic just yet. Narumi just smiled at the idea of meeting Baa-Chan once again and maybe this time finally figuring out what family connection they shared.

The two wondered about, stopping to ask people every so often if they knew where she was and finally they approached the right bar.

"Okay brat, I should go in first as she was my old teammate." Jiraiya looked down at the blonde Genin.

"I don't think so! I'm coming in with you" Narumi crossed her arms stubbornly. The two had a stare down before Jiraiya's shoulders slumped as he blew out a puff of air.

"Fine, just let me do the talking alright?" Jiraiya relented, he was figuring out he could never say no to his goddaughter and those damn blue eyes of her. Narumi beamed and hid behind Jiraiya as they entered the sake bar.

"Long time huh Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked the blonde sitting at the bar as he sat beside her; Narumi spotted Shizune holding Tonton beside Tsunade looking lost at her master's drinking.

"What do you want?" Tsunade slurred annoyed at seeing Jiraiya.

"I've come to bring you back to Konoha." Jiraiya said honestly.

"I'm never going back, get out of here you perv, you are killing my buzz." Tsunade waved her arm like she was shooing a bug.

"She even agrees that you are an perv Ero-Sennin!" Narumi snickered as she poked her head around Jiraiya's arm and Tsunade looked at her, shock in her eyes before she huffed and turned away.

"Whose the brat?" Tsunade asked, trying to sound uninterested.

"Narumi Uzumaki-Namikaze, your great niece." Jiraiya said in a low voice and both blondes startled.

"Oh so she's my great aunt." Narumi thought amazed.

"I guess your nickname for her is closer to the truth than you thought." Kurama agreed.

"Should I shock her?" Narumi questioned.

"Couldn't hurt, she needs to sober up and give us some answers." Kurama grunted.

"She's my great aunt huh? Well I've got a bone to pick with her then." Narumi growled and flicked her wrists. The drunk Sannin let out a surprised shout as red-orange chains wrapped around the blonde pulling her off of her stool.

"We are going to have a little talk Baa-Chan." Narumi said cheerfully as she walked out of the bar pulling Tsunade behind her, Shizune, Tonton and Jiraiya following. The latter was shaking his head amused while Shizune hugged Tonton tighter as they ended up a in a small clearing where in the previous timeline Narumi had stayed there for a solid week learning the Rasengan. Narumi released her chains and watched Tsunade (now sober) get to her feet with rage in her eyes.

"You have no reason to be mad Baa-Chan." Narumi said calmly.

"Don't call me that brat." Tsunade hissed, but there was an edge of playfulness in her voice.

"Yeah, yeah okay Baa-Chan. Listen… I need to know… Are you really my great aunt?" Narumi swallowed hard to remove the lump that was lodged in her throat.

"…Yes on your mother's side." Tsunade admitted and was taken by surprise when she was suddenly on the ground. She had been tackled by Narumi who had her 12-year-old arms wrapped around her waist and face buried in her large chest, she blinked as she felt a wetness form there and Narumi's body shudder every so often. She blinked again as she understood that she was sobbing silently. She looked up at Jiraiya who knelt down by her head.
