The Little Senju (Little Senju Series Book One): A Naruto Fanfiction

The Little Senju and a Festival

Naruto's POV

"Hmm..." I hummed lightly as the three of us continued walking leading to both the Pervy-Sage and Izumi giving me a quizzical expression, "This beautiful woman that you've got us scouting around for... Is she the Tsunade that you and Izumi mentioned?"

Izumi gave a quick nod of her head, "Hey not bad kid! You're pretty sharp, aren't ya?" the man grinned, "Why? What's on your mind?" he questioned.

"Well, you said that she was one of the three legendary sannin... the same as you, right Pervy-Sage?"

"That's right." he sounded more stern now, "What's your point already?

"How old is she?"

"Same age as me!" he answered with a thumbs up.

Uhh... She's ancient... I grimaced with a scowl, "So, what's this Tsunade lady like anyway?"

"Curious?"

"She's a real character to say the least..." Izumi chuckled brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, "Though I suppose Pervert-Chan probably knows her better than I do."

"What can I tell you about Tsunade...?" he thought for a moment, "Well, for one thing she's kind of unpleasant. plus, there's the fact that she's known far and wide as the a die hard gambler and all.

"Great!" I pumped my hand in the air excitedly. Maybe this was going to be easier than I thought... "This should be easy if she's as famous as all that!"

"Oh, she's famous alright!" the white-haired man agreed, while a pained expression came across Izumi's face, "You might even call her legendary... The legendary sucker!" a light chuckle escaped his lips, "But, as legendary a sucker as she may be I doubt she's going to be all that easy to find."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, she's not really the type to age gracefully. She's probably using some sort of transformation jutsu to mask her apperance..." he explained before pausing a moment to admire two birds that were flitting about in the sky, "She's actually fifty years old, but I'm sure she'll look like she did in her twenties... Isn't that right, Izumi?"

"Hum?" she jumped a little at the sudden attention, "I guess so, but like I said earlier you'd probably know more than I would. The last time I saw her I wasn't even able to use any jutsu, so I guess everything I know about her is just what my parents said about her. The only other thing I remember is that sham promise she made me, but I assume it wasn't that important to her..."

. . .

"Cool down..." Pervy-Sage scolded as we continued walking, "I have to train you two, while I get information on Tsunade..."

"Gather information...?"

"In this town!" we came upon a small bustling town that had many a stands set up as though they were having some sort of festival.

Izumi's POV

"This is gonna be great!" Naruto declared as he took note of all the people and excitement that the town had to offer, "I've never seen anything like this before in my life!!!"

"Yeah, me neither..." I murmured as I slipped behind Pervert-Chan hugging his arm tightly, Why the hell are there so many people here...?!? " This is great.... When're we leaving again?"

"I see you're as shy as always!" the older ninja chuckled pulling his arm away, "Now you two have a little fun before we start your training. This festival will be going on for awhile, so go out and enjoy yourselves before we hunker down and start your training."

"Alright!" Naruto enthused throwing his arms in the air before digging around for something in his bag, "Hehehe!" he snickered as he pulled out an overly chubby frog shaped change purse.
