The Crystal Serpent [Naruto X Oc] |Book 1

Chapter 75:Finally finding Tsunade

We climbed up to the spot on a roof, giving us a view of the town to see the place where the castle was supposed to be destroyed entirely. 

"So what happened here?" Naruto asked curiously."It was like a typhoon hit it.

"Yeah, The old sage commented.

I narrowed my eyes as I kneeled down on the ground and felt a familiar presence in the air.

"Huh? Kei, what the matter?" Naruto asked as I held up a finger and placed a hand on the sensing for any sign of chakra around us." Kei?"

My focus on sensing the chakra was ruined as I heard loud screaming and turned to see many people running and screaming, saying run for your lives.

"Hey,  you there!"The old sage called out to one of the guys running by."What's going on?" He asked.

"If your wise, you run to.  There is a monster up there!" The man shouted.

"A monster?" Naruto questioned.

"Now, just calm down," The old sage said."What kind of monster?  What do you mean?"

"A snake!  A huge snake!  It crushed the castle without even trying."

I narrowed my eyes in thought and glanced down at my necklace.

'A huge snake, so I sensed one of his snakes nearby.' I thought, looking at my necklace.

"Come on, you two. I like to take a closer look at this monster, " The old sage said, running, and I shook myself out of my thoughts and followed him along with Naruto.

***

We ran from rooftop to rooftop when the old one came to a stop and jumped down and looked at the broken wall; Naruto and I followed him and stood both of his sides as he looked at the wall left in pieces.

"Looks like we're too late," He said.

I walked toward the wall and kneeled, and leaned against the wall with narrow eyes, and placed my hand on the ground.

"What are you doing?" The old sage said.

I just ignored him and focused my attention on the area near the wall."There are four faint chakra signatures left behind.  Two I don't recognize, and one is definitely Orochimaru. At the same time, the last one is familiar, but I don't remember the name, just he was at the Chunin Exams, " I stated, trying to recall the guy with glasses name but didn't remember what father called him.

"You can sense charka?" The old sage said.

"Well, not perfectly I can sense a more extended range than before, but I need a lot of  focus on picking up the chakra and getting better at sensing without so much effort."

The old sage nodded his head in understanding.

"The snake did this?" Naruto asked as he walked over to the wall and looked at it.

"Alright, you two were not going to find Tsunade here," The old Sage said."Let's go!" He said as he rushed off.

'Father, what are you doing here.'  I thought, clenching my necklace as I followed after the old sage.

"Not again. I was hoping he had forgotten," Naruto muttered in annoyance as he rushed after me and the old Sage.

***

We have searched over the area for hours and returned to the town after not finding anything.  It was now late in the evening.  I sighed, slightly bored from this long, endless search as I transformed into a coyote as I walked next to Naruto, wondering why my father was here, not paying much to the eyes on me.

"This is getting ridiculous. How many places will you drag us to?  I'm starting to believe that this lady doesn't exist," Naruto said in annoyance.

"Yeah I have to agree because it's late and still no sign of her," I said in agreement with Naruto."Through I know she is a real person. "

The old sage the stop outside of a tavern."Well, in the meantime let's dine here for now."

"Huh?" Naruto questioned."What are you talking about it's a tavern!"

"Yeah, so what?" The old sage asked.

"The point is that me and Naruto are kids you're a bad influence taking us to this kind of place," I stated with a matter-of-fact tone.

"Now don't start fussing nobody is making you do anything, all right, " The old sage said."Just have a snack and stay out of the way of grownups especially you," He said looking at Naruto.

The old sage then lifted the curtain and walked inside.  I followed behind him shaking my head at his behavior wondering how someone so foolish could become a Sannin.

"If we're just looking to eat, why don't we go somewhere real,  like a ramen shop?" Naruto asked walking beside the old sage. "Why this stinky dump?"

"Oh I'm sure it's obvious," I muttered knowing this old sage he was interested in the ladies.

"Oh, when will you learn?" The old sage asked looking at Naruto."This is just the sort of place where you can pick up information."

'Yeah, information on ladies.'

My attention was then drawn toward the back of the tavern where I noticed the old sage stareing and narrowing my eyes as I saw a woman with blonde hair and facial features matching the lady from when Itachi knocked me out.

"Tsunade!" The old stage exclaimed pointing at the back table.

'So this is Tsunade?'
