Naruto: Legacy Undone

"There is." Takechio nodded, "I understand, come we'll talk in father's solar."

Watching the two men leave Kurotsuchi quickly realized there would be next to nothing for her to do here. She turned, looking towards the nearest "empty" corner.

"My sparring partners have left...would one of you mind a go?"

The "empty" space offered no answer.

She rolled her eyes.

Two more months...

Never thought she'd find the day she actually missed that annoying leaf brat...

"Can't believe you broke into my house." Tsunade muttered, still glaring at the snake sannin over the rim of her sake cup.

"Oh come off it." The snake rolled his eyes. "You've done the same to me, and more often I might add."

"That's different." She scoffed.

The snakes eyebrow arched, very very high. "Oh do tell."

"I'm a woman with a daughter. She needs peace of mind that creepy pale guys won't just show up here randomly. You're the eternal loner that doesn't need the peace of mind."

"So I'll take it that gives you a faux pass for that time you and Dan were fighting and I got home to find you sprawled over my bead having eaten my food, drank my Sake and changed into some of my old clothes."

"You weren't using em. And besides you were supposed to be gone for another three days on that mission."

That arched brow notched itself a little higher. "That makes it better...how?"

"Shut up." She grumbled.

"I suppose I'm also supposed to overlook that time you tore my door off its hinges and dragged me out of my own home in the middle of the night.

"It was four AM and I was going into labor you ass! Dan was out training his team on survival exercises and Shizune was on a mission. Besides I paid for the damn door."

"Yes you did. You neglected to pay for the broken end table, the shattered kitchen counter, or my concussion however."

She was glaring now so Dan decided to cut in before something in their house was broken, like say the house.

"So Maru, how's life been treating you lately."

"Well enough." The sannin replied shrugging. "Missions have tapered down somewhat. Normally happens right before something big..."

Tsunade scowled poking at his knee with her toe. "Don't go wishing for another war just to abate your eternal boredom Oro."

The man raised his arms in a placating gesture. "Oh with Naruto here, I'm certain there will be plenty of entertainment."

She jabbed that toe a little harder into his knee. "This is supposed to be a celebration for his return. Not a chance for you to go dick measuring with the four sensei that have been teaching him on the Daimyo's dime.

"You wound me. Have I made any untoward gesture all night? Why, the boy seems to be doing an apt job of celebrating as we speak."

Tsunade turned her head towards the kitchen, where one Naruto was chatting excitedly with Ryoko and Kyofu and another was playing hide and seek with Akane, with her little girl currently looking for him inside the lower cabinets.

She knew the snake was just waiting for a chance to-

"Alright!" She suddenly heard Ryoko shout with quite a bit of enthusiasm. "Tomorrow me and Kyofu are gonna see just how easy it'll be to kick your ass again Naruto!"

"I beat you all the time when we were kids. So what again are you talking about?"

'And out comes the ruler.' Looking at her teammates placidly innocent expression Tsunade wondered how much it'd cost to bust her door over his head and give him another concussion.
