MENTAL. [On Hold ]

Chapter 25

"What exactly are you planning Tsunade?" Danzo asked, looking at anything in the stuffy office but her.

"It doesn't really concern you! You've messed everything up," she shouted glaring at the man in front of her.

"Take responsibility for the things you do. I am only but an adviser of yours," he said looking her dead in the eyes.

Things weren't going right for her. The company's sales were hitting rock bottom and if they didn't come up with anything, it'd be as good as shutting down all operations and closing down the damned thing.

It didn't even help that she still felt guilty. Naruto had been missing for a long time again and this time, she was certain it was her fault. He had every right to know what his father suffered from and all rights to be angry with her.

She asked Officer Uchiha and Nara to investigate his case because she didn't want any public attention to be drawn towards it. They hadn't gotten any leads and the case was then temporarily dropped.

It was only sensible that they did that. They didn't even know where to start looking for him.

"Don't act innocent only when things are not in your favor," she responded rubbing her temple, "You clearly forget the big role an adviser seems to play."

She knew she'd have a headache soon if she didn't leave the office.

The daily visitations and threats she got from his friends; Sakura and Kiba, only seemed to add fuel to the fire.
They would come with hope on their faces but leave with threats and scowls. The Sakura girl seemed to have something close to guilt plastered over her face. Something she noted each time.

"A role I can easily get away with," he smirked, "It's time for us to leave the office boss."

She grunted, packed up her bag and left.

Danzo smiled, watching her as she walked out of the door with dragged steps.

Naruto had packed up that evening and Itachi had asked Neji to escort him to Tsunade's home. Though Neji had driven off immediately they got to the gate of her house without even sparing Naruto a goodbye.

Though Naruto couldn't care less. He grabbed his bags and walked into the gate and onto her doorstep. He considered turning back and aborting this whole thing, after all, he could consider this betrayal.
In the end though, justice must prevail and he honestly didn't care which coins he was flipping and which side they landed on, he just knew that he wanted her behind bars.

He rang the doorbell and received a grumpy sound on the other side. He smiled fondly, knowing how pissed off she got when she was disturbed.
She opened the door with a scowl that quickly faded into a look of shock.

"N-Naruto?" she called out his name, refusing to believe her eyes.

He put on a smile and softened up his face. The look he gave was filled with so much love .

She opened the door  wider to let him in. He only just realized that he was scared of her reaction. He didn't really expect it to be as comforting as she was but  that was just the type of person she was.

He tried to push away the thoughts of what he was about to do. He would do whatever was in his power to get his father back and put her in her place.

He walked into the house taking in the familiar appearance of the walls. He really did miss this place, it always smelt  of cinnamon and honey. That was Tsunade's signature smell.
He wasn't even exaggerating when he said that everything on her smells of cinnamon and honey; from her clothes to her bathroom to even her kitchen.
