----------
Menma and his slaves were holding a strategy meeting to plan their next moves in detail. They were in another underground room, which was set up as a waiting room.
The three women, dressed in slutty outfits, were kneeling before their master, Kushina on the right, Konan on the left, and Tsunade in the middle.
"If we want to infiltrate the high level of the village, there is an option…" Tsunade murmured.
"What do you mean?" the Uzumaki Prince asked seriously, lingering on her figure.
"There is that old woman Koharu Utatane."
The Sannin replied thoughtfully while rubbing her legs together.
"I don't think so…."
Kushina said as she looked over towards her son.
"I can't get close to that old woman because of our previous relationship. Before being your slave, I argued a lot with her... She even suggested your death to free the village of the Kyuubi."
"I'm also out of the equation…"
"She has never trusted me because I'm a foreigner…."
Konan said as she subtly placed her hand through her legs
"I, however... I am a student of her friend, the Sandaime Hokage."
Tsunade mentioned as she began to give a subtly perverse smile.
"I could lure her into a trap so you can enslave her, master.."
"That does sound good…"
Menma spoke as his signature smirk appeared with a wicked look in his eyes.
"Then we must make the pertinent preparations."
Speaking of, I just remembered…."
The famous Kunoichi's smile sharpened
"When she was young, the old hag was apparently very hot, but she never married because she was prudish. Supposedly, she was in love with Hiruzen, but because Biwako, Sandaime's wife, got ahead of her with the old man, she gave up...-
"Wow, old and virgin..."
Menma laughed as his head ran with perverse ideas.
"Now I want to have her in my possession."
"That's what will happen then, master," purred Kushina as she glanced up with solemnity.
"The world will be yours if you wish."
Konan answered calmly before staring at him with a look of devotion.
"We swear to you as your faithful slaves…"
Tsunade said as she prostrated herself before Menma, soon followed by Kushina and Konan.
"Well then… Let's begin…"
—----
Koharu Utatane, dressed in a baggy gray kimono over a dark Obi, was a bitter woman at 61. With her hair completely gray and her body bent over time, she was usually found in her counselor's office on the Hokage Tower's third floor.
Her only motivation left in life was to maintain her privileged position within the Konoha hierarchy. She felt alive when she decided on someone's life or incited another person to do her bidding.
Sitting at the desk in her office, she participated a lot in the decisions on which the economy was governed, in addition to participating in many of the meetings that decided the transcendental issues of the village.
She opened a drawer, taking out from inside a rather old framed photograph, in which she was a teenager with her Ninja uniform consisting of a tight black suit wearing a blue Samurai armor breastplate and arm protectors of the same color.
Brown hair with her hair held in two contiguous buns and topped with a pointed senbon, she was next to her great friend Homura Mitokado, a young man with tousled black hair with thick-rimmed glasses, and finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi…
Although the Sandaime Hokage was a little short, he was always a powerful Shinobi. His determined personality on the battlefield was extremely attractive to her, and his wild hair gave him an unruly air.
They grew up together and were always great friends...
Everyone who knew them believed that they would have a common destiny, and she also thought so, so she took it for granted that it would be so.
It was then, almost at the age of 30, that Biwako Sarutobi entered the equation, and without Koharu being able to defend what she felt was hers, she lost the man she was in love with.
From that moment, she was resentful of life and never tried to love again, perhaps because she did not want to suffer the same pain again. She passed on suitor after suitor and pursued her political career to secure an irrevocable place in the village's command structure.
Life flashed before her eyes, and she watched with growing frustration as her friends and enemies were engaged and married.
As for her life, she had let it all go...
Whenever she saw that photo, she was tempted to smash it to the ground. Still, the memories and nostalgia invaded her, and she contemplated it with a practically incomprehensible mixture of feelings between happiness, longing, resentment, and envy.
She put the object in the drawer when she heard a knock on the door, and after sighing a little to control the unbridled emotions in her heart, she recovered the sullen expression that characterized her.
"Come in…" Said the older woman.
Tsunade entered the place, wearing her usual clothes, with a serious expression on her face. The two women never got along even though Hiruzen Sarutobi was trained alongside the older one and, in turn, trained the younger one.
The old woman immediately hardened her gaze as she faced the great-niece of her teacher, the Nidaime Hokage, and at the same time, the granddaughter of the Shodaime Hokage. The Sannin sat in the chair in front of her desk.
"Wow, I thought you'd be lying like the vulgar alcoholic you are in some Fire Nation casino... "
The old woman said harshly.
"What do you want? If you need another loan, you can go where you came from. I won't waste money from the village on your stupidity..."
"Relax, old woman…."
Tsunade replied haughtily.
"The truth is, I'm here for an important matter, and even though I can't stand you, you're the only one who can help me."
She finished with a serious tone.
"I hope it's not some sort of nonsense again," the older woman replied sullenly.
"No…" The Sannin hardened her expression.
"I hate to admit it, but only you can help me with the Kyuubi boy…"
"What's going on?"
Koharu asked, immediately becoming interested in the subject
"It seems that the seal made by Minato to seal the beast had a slight failure... I was studying it for days and realized that the beast's mind has ended up imposing itself on the boy's."
Tsunade repeated the words that she had rehearsed for hours to try and sound like she actually despised her godly master.
"It's just what I thought would happen…"
Koharu replied with a hardened look.
"The beast is too powerful for a simple seal to contain it successfully... Now explain why you came to me and not Sarutobi…"
"As if you didn't know... "
The voluptuous woman said with a sneer as she crossed her arms impressively, displaying her large bust.
"The old man is too soft and would surely try to convince me that the boy can handle the Kyuubi."
"Hiruzen always was a softie…"
The older woman replied with something on her face similar to a smile.
Koharu looked like she didn't seem completely convinced by the argument.
"But why didn't you go to the village council?"
"Are you kidding?"
Replied Tsunade contemptuously.
"Those uptight idiots would try to take advantage of the situation... I believe the brat should be killed to get rid of the Kyuubi, at least for a while."
"That's a fair assessment…"
Koharu agreed before continuing.
"Besides, in the end, the child is still an Uzumaki. That hateful clan...."
She said as her gaze hardened even more.
"So, what do you have in mind?"
"Kushina was always very naive. I can distract her and Konan so that you infiltrate the house and kill him…"
Tsunade said, trying to keep up the perverse masquerade.
"Besides, we can always turn to the Yamanaka so that the two of them can forget the feelings they share for that demon spawn."
"Heh… Now I understand."
Koharu said to the confusion of the Sannin.
"What do you mean?"
Tsunade replied, puzzled.
"In the end, you don't have the cold blood to kill your own nephew, right?"
Koharu's words left Tsunade incredulous, mostly because she didn't imagine someone could know her secret.
"W-what do you mean?"
The beautiful woman spoke while visibly nervous.
"You act as if we didn't know…"
The old woman smiled mockingly.
"The Shodaime's spoiled granddaughter helping an orphan out of simple conviction... Please… Do you think nobody thought to find you in the months you were researching that project…"
Koharu spoke as the Sannin diverted her head, visibly confused and seemed sincerely baffled.
"But hey... If you're willing to let me kill your nephew, I'll do it for the good of the village."
"So be it…"
-------------
Sorry for a bit of a shorter chapter...
I could have written some nonsense to raise the word count, but I felt it would be disingenuous to you guys.
I ended up writing a lot, and as I was dividing it into chapters, I couldn't find a good way to split it up. Resulting in one shorter chapter and one longer chapter. Another chapter later today.
So anyway, this one is a little shorter at about 1500 words, but the next chapter should be around 3500, give or take a bit.
Please leave a review! We're trying to get 10 so we can get the stars shown!
