The Unlikely Genius [ON HOLD]

Chapter 33: Tsunade says NO!

"Double crossing little vixen!" Jiraiya said. "Must've spiked my drink while I wasn't looking. I can't build up any chakra. My body is so weak I don't even think I can throw a kunai straight." Jiraiya said. What made Shizune stop was the kunai Jiraiya threw by her. 'Straight enough that it nearly killed me.' Shizune thought then rolled her eyes.

"Wow. Good job prevy sage. It's funny how you go on about how a good ninja you are..." Naruto crossed his arms. "Oh shut up!" Jiraiya shouted. "She possesses a great deal of knowledge about electors and herbs since she's a healer. I should've known better. Only Tsunade can come up with a knock out drug even a ninja couldn't detect, but still to be caught off guard like that...I must be losing my touch." Said Jiraiya.

Tsunade is standing at the same place she met Orochimaru and Kabuto. She thinks about the threat she made to Orochimaru. "I'll kill you! I swear!" Shizune gives Jiraiya a drink. "Are you feeling better now Master Jiraiya." She asked. "I suppose so compared to before." He replied. Shizune resumed to refill his cup. "I may be back to maybe thirty percent." He said. Kabuto was creeping beside a window. 'I didn't expect to find Jiraiya. No less Naruto. The mountain sage...that's more than I bargain for. I may have to rethink this.' Kabuto thought.

Naruto felt a familiar presence close by, but it was gone. 'Hm? That chakra. Can't be!' he thought. Jiraiya felt the presence leave as well. "Okay Shizune..." he suddenly said. "Hm? What is it?" she asked. "It's time you tell us about what happened with Tsunade and Orochimaru." - "What kind of deal are they making?" he asked seriously. His facial expression said he was serious.

'Thought so...that creep is here.' Naruto thought when he heard the name Orochimaru. He looks at Shizune awaiting for her response. Shizune was shocked. She puts her head down. "I never imagined she'll go through with it. That's why-...I didn't say anything about it before. But now-"she said holding her stomach. She stood up. "There's no time to lose! You must come with me quickly! I'll explain on the way." She said. "Let's go then." Jiraiya agreed. Nature stood up. "I might as well come too." He said.

Orochimaru finally showed up. "Well what's your answer?" he asked. "Seriously? Her answer better be no." Naruto said as the three of them quickly run to the spot. 'So things are worse than I thought. Could it be the loss of those two clouded her judgment?' Jiraiya wondered. 'You gave me no choice Tsunade. If I have to kill you. I will!' Jiraiya thought.

"I will heal your arms, but on one condition. You keep your hands off the village." Tsunade said. Orochimaru chuckled. "Very well!" - "Shall we?" he said. The two started to walk towards each other. "As soon his arms are healed Orochimaru plans to destroy the Leaf Village." Shizune said.

"Of course. That's what I expected. And trust me he'll do more than that if we don't stop him somehow." Jiraiya said, Kabuto caught up to the spot. He stood away from the scene to observe. Orochimaru has a smirk on his face. He then tries to slowly bring his arms out. Then suddenly a kunai comes flying between them. The two quickly dispersed.

It was Kabuto. He then goes behind Orochimaru. "What is the meaning of this? Am I to understand you really come here to betray me? TSUNADE!!" Orochimaru hissed. "So that's your answer Tsunade. After all I've offered you. You replay me by trying to kill me?!" Orochimaru said his eyes widen.

"Unlike you, I can depend on Kabuto's loyalty." - "A good thing he arrived in time to save me from those evil intentions hidden behind those healing hands." Orochimaru said.
