Bleached

Chapter 12

Yall really don't know whats going to happen in a few chapters- It's going to be insane ngl

Aoji really didn't think that her day would go like this. She was just expecting some regular C-rank, maybe some missing nin because of the curse, but Tsunade, the long lost slug sannin walked in on her training. She was probably one of the worst people to walk in on that, barring Orochimaru.

The man had experimented ruthlessly on Mokuton, afterall. The only reason he didn't grab Yamato and ditch tenchi bridge was because Yamato had backup and had gotten too strong. Aoji on the other hand, was actually pretty weak, Hearth told her if they were in a truly dire circumstance she could just turn the enemy into dust with a beast bomb.

That was an interesting conversation. 

Aoji was awkwardly patting Tsunade on the back while the blonde sobbed on her. She honestly probably would have done the same thing if she had seen somebody from her supposed long dead family. 

But being hugged by the virtual hulk of the Naruto world was not doing wonders for her ribs. 

Tsunade was choking out barely coherent words about how she wasn't there when she could've and Aoji felt kind of bad. I mean, she was in an entire different dimension, it would be virtually impossible to find her anyways. 

I mean, unless she was secretly some goddess or something. Or Hearth.

"I am a something comparable to a goddess afterall." Hearth pompously lifted a paw to her heart. 

Hagoromo seemed to be noping out of the emotional situation. Aoji wished she was him.

Shizune rushed down to the clearing, obviously worried for Tsunade. 

"Tsunade-sensei, are you alright?" She waved her hands around frantically. Tsunade tightened her hold on Aoji. Aoji wheezed a breath, too polite to ask her to not hug her so tightly. Shizune paused for a second and glanced at Aoji in concern, who's face was turning blue. 

Tsunade finally let go, Aoji discreetly inhaling precious oxygen. I'll never stop appreciating air.. 

Tsunade wiped her tears away, necklace shifting slightly. It was strange to see her with it, Aoji was used to seeing it on Naruto before it was destroyed during the Pein attack. 

"W-where were you?" her voice wavered slightly before strengthening. Aoji wondered what the appropriate answer would be, saying 'Oh yeah, I'm from another Universe and the 12 tailed panther sealed inside of me finally decided to leave and go back here.' 

"You should probably stick with the old story I gave you, about wandering. It worked long enough for Kakashi to take you to the Hokage.." Hearth trailed off, probably remembering how she revealed the whole 'from another universe' thing to Kurama, while Hiruzen was watching petrified in the corner. 

Aoji paused for a moment, digging through her memories for the story. Tsunade stared at her expectantly. 

She told Tsunade the story, adding in the senju part into the mix as well. Tsunade nodded slightly.

Tsunade wanted to get to know her only living family, oddly enough. So she decided to invite her to come with her to her only past time. Gambling. 

Tsunade was confused why the bad omen of winning games, translated to meeting her only alive relative. Maybe it was because of the sudden mental party that went on when she saw Aoji. She honestly couldn't remember the last time she cried that hard. 

"So, do ya want to go out with your favorite grandma?" Tsunade grinned. Aoji deadpanned at her mood swing. 

"Ah, sure!"
