Strings Of Destiny

Must Move On

"You little brat" Tsunade growled stepping back a scowl on her face.

"Naruto-kun" Shizune whispered as she noticed her masters expression she was pissed plain and simple he'd be lucky to survive what she was about to do to him now.

"Who do you think you are you could have killed me" Tsunade shouted slapping Naruto across the head, surprisingly he felt the hit and stumbled back a bit and as he did he noticed a pain shoot through his ribs causing him to gasp.

"What do you mean, that punch was aimed at me it would have killed me if it had hit" Naruto argued back as he tried to steady out his breathing.

"Yeah...well that's your own fault and that's why you're suffering from a few broken ribs right now" Tsunade said placing her hands on Naruto's chest, she was impressed how toned he felt now...however she concentrated on fixing his ribs, in her opinion he had deserved it...no one humiliated her by hitting herself no one.

"I thought you didn't enhance your punch with chakra" Naruto said the pain slowly fading away as Tsunade healed him.

"What made you think that?" Tsunade asked as she finished healing him. Naruto on the other hand frowned...why was it he felt no pain until he moved, that couldn't be normal right.

"I...don't know" Naruto murmured putting the thought to the back of his mind he had to persuade Tsunade to become Hokage for Izumi...and for Nimato and Sasuke.

"Well you're here now let's get back to our room you can explain the reasoning for your visit there more quietly" Tsunade stated sending Naruto a glance that he knew all too well. Shizune on the other hand was more interested on the reasoning for Naruto's visit.

"So...why did you find us?" Tsunade asked as the three of them stepped into her room, she immediately took of her green haori.

Naruto took in the room...and felt his eyebrow twitch...there was no way Tsunade was paying for this room it looked like something that was reserved for a daimyo especially with that king sized bed.

"This is where you're staying?" Naruto asked giving Tsunade a deadpanned look Shizune looked away in shame while Tsunade grinned.

"Of course for looks like mine I have to sleep in the best conditions" Tsunade reasoned and Naruto wondered whether or not he should mention without her Genjutsu she'd look like an old hag, but for her and his own mind he kept quiet besides even if it was a Genjutsu the outer appearance still felt good.

"Of course..." Naruto said sarcastically missing the narrowing of Tsunade's eyes.

"Well...get on with it tell us why you're here...especially since the last I heard you were killed by the Raikage" Tsunade said she knew he hadn't died but she needed to keep Shizune in the dark.

"Ah...well I had a really good healer...really good, but...I wanted to you up on that offer" Naruto stated and Tsunade smiled slightly at his description, while Shizune looked confused.

"What offer?" Shizune asked looking between her master and Naruto.

"Well, you two did say I could travel with you didn't you?" Naruto questioned Shizune gasped in realization of course she had been drunk when her master had offered Naruto the chance of travelling with them. Tsunade on the other hand narrowed her eyes, he was still travelling with the Uchiha wasn't he, not to mention his main goal was to protect Nimato...so why was he really here now?

"Ah, I did say that, I don't see any problem with you travelling with us but you cause us any problems and I'll deal with you myself okay?" Tsunade explained and Naruto nodded while Shizune smiled at least now she wouldn't be alone when it came to dealing with her master.

"Good now that's all sorted out I'm going to bed" Tsunade said sending Naruto a discreet look.

"Well Naruto-kun you can share my room, I mean there's a sofa you can sleep on" Shizune offered.

"No...Naruto will be staying in my room he can sleep on the couch right here besides I can't trust you two won't start humping like rabbits the moment my back is turned" Tsunade pointed out besides in her mind Naruto had already had a place to stay...and it was her bed.

Shizune blushed as she remembered when she and Naruto had sex the images of their sweat covered bodies smashing together and looking at him now she blushed even more he was a lot more grown up he was likely to be a lot bigger than he was back then. Naruto shook his head at Tsunade's hypocrisy but he wasn't going to say anything he had told Tsunade that he wouldn't have sex with Shizune ever again and besides he had fairly good idea why Tsunade wanted him to sleep in her room.

Shizune nodded and gave the two of them a wave before going to her room. Naruto turned around to look at Tsunade however he noticed her narrowed eyes and he could tell what she wanted to know.

"So...tell me why you are really here?" Tsunade asked and Naruto sighed it was now or never.
