Ashley’s POV

 

 

“So I trust that you all understand the way things will be happening” Lady Tsunade concludes, after explaining how the Tournament is going to work, “And that there will be no causing trouble with the other Villages.”

I raise an eyebrow.

“Why are you looking at me?” I ask indignantly, ignoring Shikamaru as he snickers beside me. Lady Tsunade just shakes her head and looks back at the others, a tiny smile gracing her lips.

“Make the Leaf Village proud” she says, eyeing us confidently. “I have the utmost faith that you will. You leave in three hours. Kakashi, you’re in charge alright?”

“Hai Milady” Kakashi replies, nodding once. “I’ll keep them all in line.”

“I sure hope so” is Lady Tsunade’s dry reply. “You’re all dismissed!”

“Kakashi Sensei!” Naruto whines, tugging on the Jonin’s sleeve. “Who’s gonna help me with my training while you’re gone?! I can’t just stop training after all!”

Kakashi shrugs, subtly tugging his arm free from Naruto’s grip.

“Ask Yamato to continue helping you” he suggests, pulling his little, orange book back out, Lady Tsunade having screamed at him to put it away while she was talking. “But Kakashi Sensei-”

“Look Naruto” Kakashi says with a sigh, heading for the door, “There’s not much more I can do to help you anyway. I can’t master the Jutsu for you. I’ve given you all the help I can. It’s up to you now.”

That said, Kakashi does a hand sign and disappears in a puff of smoke, obviously not up for holding an argument with Naruto. Not that I really blame him….Arguing with the determined blonde can be…..taxing.

Shikamaru suddenly stretches his arms in the air, before placing his hands in his pockets and cracking his neck from side to side. What, did he just get out of bed or something?

“Well, I better go and let my Mom know that I’m leaving the Village” he says, before sweat dropping and sighing. “It’s gonna be such a drag, because she wanted me to go and check on our Deer today. Oh well, if I can survive Lady Tsunade…..”

“What was that Shikamaru?” Lady Tsunade demands to know, eyelid twitching. Shikamaru takes a step back, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. I can’t help chuckling at the scared look on his face, as Neji crosses his arms and smirks. Shikamaru complains about women all the time, but he seems rather afraid of being on the receiving end of their wrath.

“Oh uhh…..I was just saying how much um….nicer you are than my Mother” Shikamaru lies, before turning and striding hurriedly towards the door. “Anyway, I’ll meet you guys at the gate!”

“Ruling by terror isn’t always a good thing Lady Tsunade” I say wryly, tilting my head and giving her a dry look. The Hokage glares at me.

“And you’d know all about that” she retorts, before waving towards her broken door. “Now get out!”

I hold up my hands in defence, turning and heading for the door, with Neji right behind me. Seriously, Lady Tsunade can be so moody sometimes….

“I think you need a new door Grandma Tsunade!” I shout from the hallway, ducking as she lobs a heavy paper weight at my head. It smashes against the wall, as a string of curse words float down the hallway, making me laugh.
