5 Hokages

Granddaughters and Bachelor Pads

Tsunade thought it was way too early in the morning to be up, but her grandfather was moving into her guest room this morning, and she had to make the old man feel welcome, or who knew what would happen. Grandpa Hashirama was very exacting, and had an extremely bad temper at times. If she thought she could get away with it, she would have foisted the task off onto Shizune.

She smiled graciously when he arrived half an hour late - having spent that half hour inspecting the front garden and finding it lacking - hoping the smile didn't look half as fixed as it was. She generously offered him tea, which he promptly refused in favor of inspecting the rest of the house, and complaining about the changes made since he'd had it built, especially the Hiraishin seals that had been drawn on the hardwood floors of just about every room in permanent marker.

When she saw the look on his face when he inspected his new room, she had felt like screaming. She had given all of his favorite colors to an interior decorator as well as an order for some pre-founding furniture or at least some acceptable replicas of such on the day he'd made his demand/request and had been assured that her money had been well spent. The room had looked rather nice when she had examined it the day before. What could be the problem now?

"Where's my old alarm clock?" Senju Hashirama asked as he scowled at the brand new clock radio on the nightstand.

"I'm not entirely sure, but think your brother destroyed it." she replied as calmly as she could. An alarm clock? He was this upset about a friggin alarm clock? If she hadn't been trained since earliest childhood to revere her ancestors, she thought she might pound him.

Minato was sure he was going to regret his decision, but he had refused to stand down when both he and what would have been his grandfather-in-law if he hadn't decided to hide his and Kushina's relationship for the safety of their little accid- er...son had decided to move in with said child when it was revealed he would be returning to Konoha around the time they got out of the hospital. Naruto was out helping his predecessor/successor get settled in with his own son, but he had given them a key and told them that there was space in the storage closet and that he'd set a pair of futons out in the main room.

The building didn't look very promising. In fact, it looked like it should have been condemned. This was no place for someone who should have been declared a hero.

"You've got to be kidding me!" The second Hokage muttered at his side as they made their way up the stairs.

As they made their way to the door Naruto indicated belonged to his apartment, Tobirama muttered under his breath beside him. When they got to the right door, he knew he shouldn't expect very much. After opening the door, he knew he was right. The place was in worse condition than the shoebox he had gotten after he had moved out of the orphanage.

"Holy fuck!" Tobirama said as he looked around their new living accommodations. "It's my old bachelor pad!"
