Naruto: Winds and Changes

"Hmph, Hokage huh. I don't know why you even bothered coming here then," Tsunade looked at her cards before placing them on the table. "I can't believe you would even bother trying to get me to take that job. I may do a lot of gambling Jiraiya, but money is easily replicable, a life isn't. Becoming Hokage? That's a fools bet. Look at what happened to all of the Hokages, they all died. Even the Yondaime died young. The Hokage's job is for nothing but fools and idiots. It's-"

She did not get the chance to say anything as she felt a blast of air and had to blink as she saw a fist mere centimeters from her face. She followed the fist to see it was attached to one Uzumaki Naruto, who was being restrained by Jiraiya. His face was carved into a snarl, and she was shocked to see his eyes shifting from blue to amethyst to red and back to blue.

"Damn it gaki! Calm down!" Jiraiya struggled and actually had to put in a lot of effort to hold the kid back. Kami what the hell is with this kid's strength!

"Shut up Ero-sennin! Maybe you can just stand there and listen to her insult Ojisan and the other Hokages, but I won't put up with it!" Naruto bared his elongated canines at the blond woman, "There's no way I'm letting some wrinkly old hag like her insult Ojisan's memory like that!"

Tsunade looked at him, blinking in a bit of curiosity. At least until he called her an old hag, then she turned a glare on him before looking at Jiraiya, "Who's the brat? Don't tell me you've actually taken another apprentice. I thought you had foresworn taking on anymore after your last one died. Though this one seems like a downgrade from your previous student."

Jiraiya grunted as he struggled to hold the kid back, "I wouldn't…be too sure of that…damn it! I need you to calm down Naruto!" Said blond growled at him but finally relented and sat back down, "This kid will surprise you Tsunade, I wouldn't underestimate him."

"Whatever," Tsunade scoffed, "Hey brat, what's your name?"

"Uzumaki Naruto," The blond shinobi said with a glare.

Tsunade's eyes widened. So this kid is Kushina's brat? "You seem to have some kind of issue with my words. Can't take the truth?"

"What truth? Yours? Why should I listen to some old drunk who looks like she washed out a long time ago," Naruto smirked when he saw Tsunade getting pissed. "Ero-sennin, we should probably get going, a pathetic alcoholic old lady like her could never be Hokage. She simply doesn't have what it takes."

"What was that you gaki!" Tsunade slammed her hands on the table, "Listen here! I'm the granddaughter of the Shodai and the grandniece of the Nidaime! I'm more than capable of being Hokage if I so desired!"

Naruto began to chuckle before it turned into a laugh, "I already know of your heritage and I have to say, for someone with such a strong lineage, you're a big disappointment. You sit here wasting your days away drowning in sake. Really, your ancestors must be disgusted with the bitter old drunk you've become."

"That's it gaki! Let's take this outside!" Tsunade stood up and walked out of the front door.

"Fine by me you old hag," Naruto got out of the booth and followed Tsunade outside.

Jiraiya sighed, "Great, I somehow should have figured this would happen. C'mon Shizune, we need to make sure someone's there to pick up the pieces after this is all over."

Naruto and Tsunade stood across each other in the middle of the street. The blond Genin was glad that it was so late at night and no one else was there, that meant he could really go all out, which was good because Naruto knew that to even get a hit on a Sannin he would need to use all the tricks in the book.

Tsunade looked at him and smirked as she held up a finger, "One finger is all I'll need to beat you."

Naruto narrowed his eyes, he did not like being underestimated like that, but like his battle with Kisame he would make an exception. Okay so I've got three advantages over her. The first is she is seriously underestimating me. The second is that she is really drunk, that will make her sloppy. And the third is she's obviously a decade or so out of practice so she won't be as strong as Jiraiya.

"Tsunade you really don't need to do this. Why don't you just calm down and we can talk things through," Jiraiya suggested.

"There's nothing to talk about Jiraiya, and this gaki needs to learn his place," Tsunade glared at the Toad Sannin.

"She's right Ero-sennin, crabby old drunks like her need to learn that drowning themselves in alcohol only makes the situation worse," Naruto shot back.

Tsunade ground her teeth as she glared at the much younger blond, "Before we get this little fight started, I just have one question. Why do you care about the Hokages so much."

"What kind of stupid ass question is that?" Naruto scoffed, "It should be obvious. Being Hokage is my dream!"

Tsunade's eyes widened as she heard that, and for just a second she could see the figures of her dead lover Dan, and her little brother Nawaki, both of whom had the same dream as the blond before her, standing behind him.

The images disappeared quickly since Naruto, seeing her distracted had decided to start the fight off. He charged at her with speeds that greatly surprised and shocked Tsunade, coming in quickly with an attempt to smash a fist in her gut.

However, Tsunade was not a Sannin for nothing, and swatted the attack away with one finger as per her boast. With Naruto now off balance she flicked him in the head with the same finger, only to be shocked when Naruto went up in a burst of smoke.

It was then that another Naruto came in through the smoke. Tsunade reacted on instinct and attempted to finger flick him. However, due to how drunk Tsunade was, as well as the fact that she had not been in a serious fight for nearly a decade and a half, she was far slower than she should be. It also didn't help that Naruto, having speeds that could match those of Rock Lee, was more than capable of keeping ahead of her, at least for the moment.
