ANBU boot camp

Chapter 36

Tsunade Senju was one of the strongest Shinobi in the world, respected as the strongest (overall) Kunoichi and medic-nin. So, to see her scared of the smiling mute was probably the funniest thing, or in the top ten, most of the group had ever seen. Now granted Mai equaled Chief, and even though the Chief was not there now. The blonde woman was always looking over her shoulder, one eye on Mai and the other everywhere searching for the man.

Setting up camp that night was quick, Tsunade set up as far away from the group as they allowed.

"She drunk yet?" Jiraiya asked as he stood in the group looking over to his teammate and the young apprentice that had traveled with her since the mess really started.

"Nope," Naruto replied. "And she won't be tonight...I have some things to speak to her about."

The blonde boy just grabbed two plates of food and headed over to his relative, Hinata grabbed some food and joined them. As they approached Tsunade looked up,

"What now?" she asked.

"Dinner," Naruto replied and handed her a plate.

He sat on one side of her and Hinata sat on the other.

"You know who we are?" Naruto asked as he and Hinata started eating.

"Kushina's son and Hitomi's daughter," the woman replied. "My godchildren...not to mention You and me are related by blood."

Naruto nodded.

"Where have you been?" Hinata asked.

"Around, trying to stay away from the village..."

"And us," Naruto interrupted.

"You would not have wanted to be around me," she replied starting her rehearsed defense.

Naruto just popped open a small scroll and pulled out a binder,

"This is the report Chief asked us to give you," Naruto spoke and handed the binder to her before he and Hinata just leaned against her and started to eat.

Tsunade forgot her meal and started to read, her reaction was actually surprising to some.

"This can't be...both of you?" she asked as she read.

"Yes," the kids replied.

"Wait...they tried to remove all knowledge of the Uzumaki clan and Village?"

"Yes," again they replied.

"Why...how...who?" the woman asked started to shake.

"Danzo," Naruto replied. "Without you and the Ero-sennin there protecting him, the Hokage grew weak. Without Chief, he would still be weak, and we would not know about the Snake's plan to attack."

She looked at him then Hinata then back at Naruto, "I...I am..."

"Save it, you three cost me and Hinata a lot of blood sweat and tears. The two of you, because you weren't there...And I plan to get my payment from all three of you soon." Naruto growled and Tsunade realized then and there, Naruto did have his mother's temper...minus the moving hair.
