Lucky Lucy is Where? (Naruto X Fairy Tail Fanfic)

Chapter 41

The Hokage had a contemplative look on his face before he let our a puff of smoke, "I don't mind, it will be interesting to see your natural abilities. I don't think I've seen it since your first time in the forest of death," he mused,

"You mean that test you made me do as soon as I woke up from being in captivity and then forcing me to be a ninja," Lucy blandly stated and Lord Hokage sweatdropped,

"Still bitter about that are you?" he rhetorically asked,

"you know I don't agree with how you do things sometimes," Lucy stated, "in my guild anyone who threatens or causes harm to anyone, suffers a punishment. My guild master, banished his own Son for hurting guild members and then later his own Grandson for forcing the guild to fight one another in order to take over the guild. It killed him to do those things but he did them to protect the guild members; it's not like Gramps doesn't believe in second chances but there were somethings that couldn't be overlooked." Lucy then looked at the Hokage straight in the eye, "you preach about how emotions can sometimes impede a mission but because of your emotional ties you let those that have hurt the village and its members go," the Hokage had the decency to look ashamed at this,

"I have made many grave mistakes Lucy,"

"I know that, everyone has at some point but you are continuing to make those mistakes. Are you expecting to leave the mess for the next Hokage to clean up?" she asked him, "what about all of the people that have been sacrificed for your mistakes, the Uchiha, Yamato, all of Orochimaru's captives not to mention Naruto's childhood. Lord Hokage I don't say this to you to make you feel guilty but to convince you to try and fix your mistakes. Danzo still has control over root and for some reason you don't put a stop to it, you know exactly what he has done and attempted to do over the years and it's still happening, no emotional tie is worth all of that," she finished berating him and he suddenly looked tired, like the wind would blow him over.

"I know, Danzo has even attempted to take my life before so he could sit in this chair," Sarutobi said and Lucy looked concerned that she might have taken it too far, "I don't know how to deal with Danzo without causing the village to panic,"

"That's why you have people who you can trust to help you," Lucy stated simply, "even Genin's know that, you didn't become Hokage based solely on your own accomplishments but also the accomplishments you made with other members of the village," Sarutobi didn't comment so Lucy took that as a sign to continue, "without the need for other people ninja villages wouldn't exist, you can't be a village with only one person," like the answer was simple.

"I know I have burdened you with a lot but may I ask to burden you once more Lucy?" Lord Hokage suddenly asked and Lucy looked startled,

"That depends on what it is," she looked skeptical,

"well there's a person currently in the village with master sealing skills, as of now he's training Naruto for the Chunin finals. His name is Jiraiya, he was a teammate to Tsunade actually." Sarutobi started,

"What about him?"

"Well I was hoping that you would ask him to teach you sealing techniques," Lucy's eyes widened in surprise, "not only will it help you out with your problem but it will also aide you in what I'm about to ask you," he took a puff from his pipe before he continued, "Will you look for a way to break Danzo's cursed seal?" he pleaded,

"of course I will but I don't know if I'll have the time," Lucy stated,

"I know and that's why, I'm relieving you of active ninja duty," he smiled at her, "other than the missions that involve Weasel of course, so will you accept?" he asked her even though he knew the answer,
