Team Otsutsuki

Twenty-Three

They went to the location where Tsunade would be meeting Orochimaru but it seemed that he had ditched them. They must have been watched and he must have recalled that Minato was literally the very existence that he was trying to escape from. Tsunade grumbled about wasting her time as they made their way back to Konoha.

Toneri sighed, "I was hoping to see an epic fight between the Sannin,"

No one said anything about him 'seeing'...

The moment they reached Konoha, they saw Tobirama waiting in a more relaxed clothes of blue casual kimono and sans his unique hitai-ate with the face guard. Hashirama-ki danced on his head happily waving at the approaching party of six and TonTon. Tsunade has heard about the sentient sapling from Jiraiya but seeing it was surreal. She would have thought that it was a Genjutsu along with her much more lively and less dry looking Granduncle.

She stopped and nervously approached him, "Ou-ojii-sama..."

Tobirama studied her, taking note how far she had grown and nodded sharply, "Good. You came back," He turned to enter Konoha, "We need to prepare for your inauguration as the Hokage,"

Tsunade had been informed why Tobirama didn't want the Hokage hat but after much contemplation, it would be easier for him to be her advisor than wearing the hat himself. She's younger and understand the current era more than him. She bowed, "Your advise will be invaluable, Ou-ojii-sama,"

Tobirama stopped and looked at them, "We shall convene at the Hatake house,"

The villagers gawked at the sight of the party being led by Tobirama. Toneri sniffed the air, "Wow, the village's still standing and nothing's burning,"

Jiraiya sweated, "Really, Toneri?"

Indra hummed, "I guess Danzo behaved,"

Naruto chuckled, "He still have some respect for Tobi-chan,"

Tobirama twitched.

Tsunade eyed Naruto, "If only they would treat you the same, Jii-chan,"

Twitch.

Naruto blushed, "They don't know me well, Tsuna-chan. Getting mad at them for their ignorance is the same as getting mad at a line of ants for entering my home and contaminating my food,"

Twitch.

They reached the Hatake house and Tobirama opened the door a little too violently, making the party behind him quiet, causing the frame and the wall attached to the sliding door to shake. He took off his shoes and entered the house with a small greeting, "Forgive me for my intrusion,"

Kakashi peeked from around the corner with a deadpanned look, "You say that but you opened the door like you're going to kill me or something,"

"Hn,"

Naruto chuckled, "And they say Hashirama's the one that spend the most time with the Uchiha. I sure don't pick up on your language, Ani-ue,"

It was only when they convene in the tatami room that Tobirama turned to Naruto and violently grabbed him. One would think he would hug the blond but instead he shook the whiskered boy with furious vigour, "ANI-JA, WHAT THE HELL??!!!"

Hiruzen, who was already there at the table, sipped on his tea calmly, "Tobirama-sensei, please don't kill Naruto-kun. He's not really your brother,"

Tobirama seethed as he glared at the bullet sweating blond, "Let me strangle him at least,"

Minato manifested, "Please unhand my son, Nidaime-sama,"

Indra scowled, "He's always been heavy handed with Hashirama. At least that was the recollection I gleaned from Madara's chakra,"
