Naruto: Tsunade's Apprentice

Chapter 1: Meeting a New Sensei

Tsunade Senju was relaxing in the hot springs in Konoha. She never thought that she would be back in this place after she lost all that she has, but Shizune wanted to visit. How could she say no to the person that has been with her since her fiancé and Shizune's uncle, Dan, died during the Second Shinobi World War. She stayed for varying periods of time, but never fully resided in Konoha, to visit her cousin Kushina. However, after she died thirteen years ago, she had no one left in her family aside from Shizune, who could be considered her daughter at this point not just her apprentice.

Nevertheless, she was back in Konoha and she wanted to keep this quite, the last thing she needed was her sensei, Sarutobi Hiruzen the Sandaime Hokage, to find out she was here and nag her to convince her to stay. She brought a saucer of sake to her lips to continue to enjoy the warm water of the springs. Her musings were brought to an end by some loud shouting that was going on beyond the wall that separated the springs from the outside world. What truly caught her attention however was the word "pervert" that was being shouted out. Though she didn't want to reveal herself she could not stand perverts, especially if they try to peak on her like her former teammate Jiraiya. She got out of the water and wrapped herself in a towel before making her way outside to punish the peeping tom.

Naruto Uzumaki was having a bad day. First his sensei ditched him for Sauske-teme saying that he needed his help more. Sure, Gaara was strong, shockingly so. I mean the punishment that he took from Bushy Brows who battered him around the preliminary arena was outrageous, but he needed help too. Neji had shown that he is more than willing to kill fellow Konoha shinobi. At least Gaara has the excuse that he was fighting a foreign shinobi. Neji went mad just because he didn't like the other person's views and knowing his luck, Neji would do just that. That's why he needed help. But what does he get? He gets passed on to some closet pervert that he beat with a single jutsu that wasn't even that cool. He was taken to the hot spring so he could learn how to walk on water but ever since the second stage of the Chunin Exams and that long-tongued Kusa kunoichi had hit him where his seal was, controlling his chakra became really difficult.

Maybe he should have said something. Well that was for later. Now his new sensei was just knocked out by some long, white-haired pervert that summoned a frog that used its tongue to knock him out. "Hey what do you think you are doing you pervert?! Who the heck are you?!" he shouted. The man responded by doing a weird kabuki dance "Who me? I am known as the man that the ladies squeal upon seeing, the one that all men idolize and wish to be. I am known as one of the greatest shinobi to ever live! I am known as the Gama-senin Jiraiya!" he proclaimed from the top of his toad. "Gama-senin?" questioned a confused Naruto. "Exactly" he stated as he dismissed the large orange toad.

"Hey, Pervy Sage, what are you going to do about this?!" shouted an exacerbated Naruto while pointing at the man who was supposed to teach him for the one month before the finals of the Chunin Exams. "What were you doing anyway?" The man began digging around in his pale green kimono top saying. "I was getting inspiration. I'm a writer for a brilliant novel." As he said this, he pulled out a familiar orange book that Naruto had always seen Kakashi-sensei reading. "Oh! That's..." stated Naruto. "Oho you know this book do you?" 'I've gotten quite famous here hehehe!' thought the man with a wide grin. "That's not a novel! That's some perverted piece of crap you pervert!" shouted a now angry Naruto. The man rushed forward to get into Naruto's face, "Fool! I'm not just a pervert! I'm a super pervert!" the man bellowed to the heavens. "More importantly, what're you going to ..."

Before any more could be said, the man he was arguing with was struck square in the jaw and was launched clear into the horizon that was accompanied by a battle cry. The wind kicked up from the strike, forcing Naruto to cover his face with his arms, which nearly pushed Naruto to his butt. He turned to see who struck the Pervy Sage to see a woman fair-skinned woman of average height with hazel eyes and a curvaceous figure with the largest bust he had ever seen that had some kind of green crystal gem necklace on a black cord, that had a pearl on each side of the gem, nestled between them, with smooth legs and long blond hair that fell almost to her mid back while wearing nothing more than a bath towel to cover herself. He could also see that her fingernails and toenails had bright red nail polish on them. All and all, she was probably the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, even more so than Sakura-chan and Haku. Though that last one always gave him chills when he thought back on the raven-haired boy.
