"What???"
"Mmmm, why do you think that i gave you the Flying Thunder God Jutsu? I knew you are the grandson of Sensei, so that Jutsu naturally belong to you as it was made by your grandfather." Hiruzen told me with a smug attitude.
Before I could talk, Tsunade smashed the table to smithereens and looked at Hiruzen menacingly and spoke "Why didn't you inform me that my uncle had a son? Why didn't you tell me that I was not alone in this world, and I still have family??"
"Tsunade-sama, please calm down." When uncle said that she looked at him and said "Speak, why was it kept a secret from me?"
"Troublesome... " Muttering that under his breath, uncle spoke "My sister, she asked me to keep it a secret from the rest of the world. You know very well how Itama died and the hunting done one the Senju clan members. So she entrusted Bokuto to me, so that he can be raised without any kind of assassination attempt on him."
Calming down she took her seat and looked at me, observing for some time and said "Certainly, he has same hair as Itama. His face and eye's are different, must be from Nara."
Then sighing she looked at Hiruzen and said "I'll be staying in the village for some time."
"All right. I'll arrange your lodging."
"No. I'll be staying in the Senju compound, and he will be living with me there." She said that while pointing at me.
"Wait a minute! I have an important question!" I said.
Looking ate all three of them asked "What?"
"If I'm the grandson of the Second Hokage, then how on earth I don't have any water chakra nature???"
"Ahh.... that. Well, your father had only Fire and Wind elements as chakra nature withn Yang chakra." Hiruzen said.
"And your mother had Lighting and Yin chakra nature. But don't worry, you will be able to wield the Earth and Water chakra if you trained enough like the Third and the Second Hokage." Uncle told me.
"Okay... "
As the room was going to be silent, Tsunade spoke "Bokuto. The reason I will be staying here is to know more about my younger cousin. So let's enjoy for one year fully okay." She said that with a smile. Them looking at Hiruzen she said with a thin lined smile ans raising her curled up fist "He will be able to take leave for an year, won't he?"
Looking at her pose, shuddering Hiruzen turned towards me and spoke "Y-es... Bokuto, from today onwards for one year you can take leave from being a Ninja." Then looking at her he asked her "Happy?"
"Thanks sensei." Saying that she stood up from her seat and looked at me and said "Now then, let's go to the Senju Compound."
I just nodded at her and left the room. But before we left the room I heard Hiruzen muttering "I almost saw Mito-sama in her."
Hearing that I just smiled and thought 'Got fired from the ANBU, becam a Jonin at the age of thirteen, found out about my father, and got myself a cousin. What a day!'
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
On my way to the Senju compound, Tsunade told me everything she knew about my father and also how he died.
His name as Itama, son of Tobirama Senju and Tōka Senju. He was named after the deceased brother of both Hashirama and Tobirama. He was born after the death of Hashirama Senju, because of that he was younger than Tsunade by six years. Even though my father is her uncle, he called her sister. And when I tried to call her Aunt just now, she gave me smile that meant 'Do it again and you will regret you were born.' so right after that I also to call cousin. And now she looks like a happy go lucky woman who's been speaking non stop from the Hokage office.
When we reached the Senju Compound, I saw Shizune. When I went to pick Tsunade from a gambling den, she was right next to her. So I took her with us for the travel and dropped her at the entrance and went straight to the Hokage office. I'm pretty sure that she's still mad at for leaving at the gates.
Seeing us she spoke"Why is here again?"
I also looked at Tsunade to see what she will say to her. Will she tell the truth or half truth or will she outright lie to her pupil.
Looking at her Tsunade beamed a smile and said "I'll tell you when we're inside the house. So let's go."
Grumbling at Tsunade, Shizune entered the house with us. As we entered, Tsunade did some hand seals similar to what the Hokage did before activating the privacy seal.
After that was done Tsunade looked at Shizune and said "What ever you're going to hear will not leave this room."
"Hai." Shizune replied in a serious tone.
Tsunade started to speak while putting her hand on my shoulder "He's my cousin. And yes, he's a Senju."
Hearing this Shizune opened her eyes and mouth wide and asked "How??? Last time I asked you, you told me that he's a Nara."
"He is. His father is Senju and his mother is Nara." Taking a breath she continued "You've seen his father. Itama."
Hearing this she looked me with surprised face and said "He's Itama-sama son?"
"Yes. Don't you see the resemblance?" Tsunade told her while playing with my hair.
"That's true. But he doesn't look like Itama-sama. at all."
"Well for your information, I look likey mother." I said that with a smile.
"All right thats enough. Since I met my cousin for the first time, let's celebrate. So were do you want to go?" Tsunade said.
"Let's go and have some barbecue." Shizune replied with so much enthusiasm.
"Before that." Looking at her with all seriousness I asked "Do you have the money to spend for that."
Hearing this, both Shizune and Tsunade turned their head away from me.
