Chapter 66 - Senju Tsunade(2)

Senju Tsunade stood on the opposite side of Naruto who was eating meat skewers on the road.
Senju taunted as she looked at Naruto who was eating meat skewers. "I've been one of the three legendary sannins… I don't even have to be serious to fight this little ninja boy…"
Jiraiya sighed as he knew that Tsunade would eat her words soon.
Naruto threw a skewer stick he was holding in the direction of Tsunade and increased its speed with wind.
Swish!
Tsunade's eyes widened as she saw the skewer stick approaching her at extreme speed 'Extreme Chakra control! For a kid like him?!'
Jiraiya on the side chuckled "You better not underestimate him or you'd die fighting, Tsunade."
Naruto covered his feet with chakra and approached Tsunade as if he teleported and smashed one of his feet downwards rapidly.
Tsunade dodged in shock! '4th Hokage died 12 years ago… this is a 12 year old child?!'
Boom!
Naruto who destroyed the ground acted as if it was nothing and said nonchalantly as he munched more meat skewers "Baachan. Try harder."
Tsunade was annoyed and took Naruto seriously now. She applied chakra to her feet to move faster and returned the same kind of attack as Naruto. "Mini Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
Boom!
Naruto chuckled as he dodged "You named a simple move with concentrated chakra applied to the feet? Are you a kid?"
Tsunade became even more annoyed but then a skewer stick went in her face's direction and cut her face.
Her face paled and touched the cut made by the skewer. She saw a red liquid… It was blood!
Naruto looked at her in disappointment and mocked "What's this? Are you afraid of blood? I thought I was going to have fun like I did with that akatsuki member."
Naruto approached her as he slowly floated with the wind and bit his finger for it to bleed so he could test whether Tsunade was really afraid of blood and it turns out that was indeed the case.
Naruto chuckled at Tsunade's scared face and said "Although, I don't want to be a hokage. I will not mock those who want the title 'Hokage.' Let them dream about it so that even if they die trying, they will not have regrets about not having done a thing to reach it."
Tsunade remembered her ex-lover's and brother's words where they said "Being Hokage is my dream!"
How ironic that she remembered it herself and also trampled on their feelings by what she just said. Dying in the middle of their dreams like losers? She was more like the loser in this case.
She shed a tear as she remembered them.
"Did I just make her cry?" Naruto flinched a bit seeing Tsunade cry but Jiraiya laughed out loud before approaching and supporting Tsunade up "How is it? You saw where you went wrong?" then turned to Naruto "Don't worry, you didn't say anything wrong. You did indeed make her cry unintentionally."
Naruto just went to the side and ate the rest of the meat skewers he ordered.
Tsunade, who was crying, looked at Jiraiya's face full of smiles. And said in annoyance "Shut up."
Jiraiya chuckled and asked again "So? Do you wanna be the 5th hokage?"
"I want to but… The sight of blood… You know…" Tsunade spoke in difficulty as her body trembled.
But suddenly, Naruto who was about to finish eating replied to Tsunade with a huge smile on his face, "Isn't it simple? You just have to get over it."
Tsunade looked at Naruto in disbelief as the simple words were enough to make her take a look at reality. It indeed was that simple but not really that simple at the same time.
Naruto continued seeing Tsunade's face in difficulty and said "I don't really know how to get rid of that kind of stuff but you can go ask Shodai, and Nidaime Hokage for a solution. I'm sure they encountered situations like yours a lot in the past. They're at Konoha right now."
"What?!?!"
"What?!?!"
Tsunade and Shizune looked at Naruto dumbfoundedly for his comment. Shodai and Nidaime Hokage are at Konoha right now?!
Jiraiya chuckled and replied "That's true. Orochimaru revived them when he attacked Konoha but hasn't undid the jutsu yet."
"Is that true?! Jiraiya?!"
Without even waiting, Naruto gave Tsunade and Shizune a [Flying Thunder God Jutsu] Kunai.
"This is…" Tsunade was shocked once again! It was like the 4th Hokage's Kunai but it had different kanjis! Unlike the 4th's that had 'Sword of Shinobi's Love' this one had 'Sword of the Strongest.'
Naruto snapped his fingers for cool effect and teleported them all to Hiruzen's office within seconds with [Flying Thunder God Jutsu]
"We're at Konoha?! It's really the Flying Thunder God Jutsu?!" Shizune in shock glanced in the direction of Naruto who teleported them.
"Hahaha! In any case, Bacchan! Take a look at Might Gai's Disciple, Rock Lee in the hospital when you get over your fear of blood. He needs it!" Naruto said his goodbye as he flew out the window.
"Hm? Naruto? Tsunade? Jiraiya?" Hiruzen was confused for a bit seeing people in his office but instantly understood. "So you've found Tsunade huh… So? Will you take the Hokage's position from me?"
Tsunade realized what was going on and replied with a downcast face "That… Sarutobi-sensei… you know I still haven't got over my fear of blood right…"
Hiruzen rubbed his chin for a bit and nodded "That's true… then get over it within a month."
"Sensei! It's not that simple…"
Suddenly a voice spoke in response to Tsunade's retort "What's not simple? It's just fear of blood. Just get over it like Saru said."
"Saru?" Tsunade glanced over at the voice that seemed familiar only to see an unfamiliar face.
It was Tobirama, he smiled seeing Tsunade and undid his [Transformation Jutsu.] "It's been awhile, Tsunade. Anija is on the way here. I sense him getting nearer and nearer. I guess he sensed you too."
"Grand Uncle…" Tsunade's face paled seeing Tobirama in front of her, ashamed about her fear of blood… Now she was going to meet her Grandfather, Hashirama.
Tobirama approached and patted Tsunade's head like a kid and said with a smile on his face. "There's nothing to be ashamed of. These things happen. Losing someone you love can be traumatizing. I understand that. But living in the past is not the way to go."
Tsunade looked at Tobirama eye to eye and nodded like a kid who was being taught "Umu."
Hashirama entered from the window saying "Tsunaaaaaaaaa! It's been awhile! Haahahah! I heard you've been gambling and losing our clan's wealth away! Tobirama is mad about that."
"Hm?! Now that you mention it! Tsunade! You shouldn't gamble our wealth away!"
Tsunade, like a kid who was being scolded, nodded in embarrassment as she knelt on the ground "Yes, Grand Uncle."
Despite being in her fifties, she enjoyed the feeling of being scolded by Tobirama. She missed them as the only remaining Senju left alive.
"Hahaha! You're as strict as usual! Tobirama! Let Tsuna off. It's been awhile since we met!" Hashirama patted Tobirama's shoulder as he laughed.
"You shut up! You're the same as Tsuna! You infected her with your bad habit and luck!"
Hashirama also knelt down on the ground beside Tsunade, all depressed.
Making Tsunade chuckle in happiness. It was nostalgic, being able to see his grandfather and granduncle banter like in the past.
Tobirama sighed and continued turning his attention to Tsunade "In any case, if you're going to succeed the Hokage. You better get rid of your fear of blood. I know it can't be rushed but you have to face it in order to get over it instead of running away from it."
And the lesson continued…
Meanwhile…
Uzumaki Naruto…
'It's been awhile since I've strolled in the village.' Naruto thought as he walked around the village.
"Naruto-sama?" An old man asked to confirm Naruto's identity.
"Naruto-sama? Haha! Occhan, just call me Naruto."
The old man smiled apologetically as he apologized "Is that so? Then… Naruto… I'm sorry for the way I treated you in the past."
"No problem! Occhan, I don't really care about that anymore."
"I see… I'm glad to hear that from you… but don't you have missions?"
Naruto shook his head and replied "Nah, I'm pretty rich, I just completed a pretty huge mission, details are top secret though so you can't ask."
"Hahaha! Of course, I won't ask about that! In any case, enjoy your stroll."
Naruto waved his hands goodbye. While strolling around, a bunch of people apologized again, and he was already getting tired of it but then he encountered Sakura.
"Naruto?" Sakura asked in delight! She hasn't met him in a while!
Naruto smiled and replied "Yeah! How are you doing? Sakura?"
Sakura blushed as she replied "I went to ask Sasuke to train but… he declined…"
Naruto teased "For someone who got declined, you're quite happy."
"This…" with a red face, she replied shyly. "He said… 'Maybe next time, Sakura.' and it didn't feel as cold as before…"
Naruto laughed out loud "Is that so?! Hahaha! Good for you, in any case, you have to progress. Invented any new Fuinjutsu?"
Sakura got a hold of herself when Naruto asked him that and replied "About that I thought of this Fuinjutsu… I lack chakra for a long battle so… I thought of a Fuinjutsu that stores chakra. Look at my blueprint."
Naruto replied as he saw Sakura bringing out a scroll "Hm? Let me see."
