"What is this crap?" Tsunade demanded as she held up a clear glass bottle.

"Its legendary water from the cursed Nanniichuan springs!" Shizune answered excitedly. "It was specifically drawn from the spring of the drowned girl mixed with the water of stillness!"

"The cursed springs of the Hidden Hot springs village?" Tsunade asked in surprise. She placed the glass down on her desk and eyed it suspiciously. "They had supposedly dried up decades ago..."

"The Nanniichuan was once wet and full of springs that each had a victim who met a tragic end" Shizune said as she reminisced the old tale.

Tsunade nodded. "Yeah, yeah I remember. It was rumored that if you fell into the spring of the victim that drowned there a thousand years ago or so, you will become them...for instance, if one was to fall in the spring of the drowned girl, they will become a female-"

"That's right!" Shizune nodded eagerly. "I've bought it from a traveling salesman this morning!" Her face fell when Tsunade sent her a soft frown.

"Shizune..." her mistress warned. "Don't spend money on fables. I rather have sake or even a pomp-pomp keychain"

Shizune fidgeted in embarrassment. She hated when Tsunade used the tone she would use with a child. "...W-well it didn't cost too much...I was just thinking it could help with Miss. Takahashi. Since she has high levels of testosterone I thought it could help with her...you know..." she pointed to her chin. "Her whiskers-"

Suddenly the office door slammed open and there stood a sweaty red faced Naruto. "HEY GRANNY TSUNADE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAINING, WHAT DO YOU WANT?" he bellowed irritably.

The Hokage winced. She rubbed her forehead, it throbbed ominously and with Naruto in the mix a headache was inevitable. "Honestly Naruto, inside voices please! You're 19 years old, act like it for once!" she demanded.

"I'm 18, so there!" Naruto stuck out his tongue childishly.

A vein pulsed on Tsunade's brow. "Still! You're going to enroll into ANBU classes this fall so straighten up already!" she snapped.

"Annnnnyway!" Naruto interrupted the Hokage rudely. "I'm thirsty! Aha!" He cheered when he spotted a clear bottle of water on Tsunade-sama's desk. With a grin, Naruto snatched it and pulled the cork out with his teeth.

"No Naruto! It's-"

"Look, it's your fault I'm here in the first place so the least you can do is spare me a drink!" the young adult complained and gulped the water down greedily.

Tsunade and Shizune held their breaths in apprehension.

When he was finished Naruto gagged. "Yuck! Stale! What the heck granny, you had it sitting around for years or what?" he wined as he wiped his mouth on the helm of his jacket.

Shizune and Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief when nothing happened. Shizune was exceedingly glad. Sure it meant she wasted her check on a dud but at least Naruto was okay.

Tsunade stood up smacked the Kyuubi boy across the head. "That's what you get you little brat! How dare you-"

"Ahhhh!" Naruto cried out suddenly. The glass bottle shattered as it hit the ground. He gripped the desk in front of him and clenched his teeth.
