Scarlet woke up at the inn. She noticed that her wound was completely healed and not even a scar has remained from the stab.
Even though she recovered, she still felt weak as her body needed to recover from the strain of overwork.
' I guess I need to rest for some days now ' sighs Scarlet.
Scarlet comes out of her room. Just as she opened the room Naruto came and hugged Scarlet.
Naruto: Nee-chan why are you always risking your life like this.
Scarlet: Says the person who almost died protecting Aunt Tsunade from Kabuto.
Naruto laughs nervously when Scarlet says that.
Scarlet looks towards Jiraiya as she asks.
Scarlet: So what happened to Kabuto?
Jiraiya: Orochimaru took him back with him when he escaped but he will most likely die. Even Tsunade cannot treat that level of injury.
Scarlet: We can't say anything for sure this is Orochimaru we are talking about.
Jiraiya remembers how Orochimaru revealed that he changed his body in the middle of the fight and nods.
Jiraiya: Hmm, you are right. No one can predict what that lunatic will do.
Jiraiya: Let's go down Tsunade and Shizune are waiting for us.
All of us go down and sit opposite to Tsunade and Shizune.
Jiraiya: Oh!, I forgot to inform you that Tsunade is going to be the fifth Hokage.
Naruto: Fifth Hokage!!? So Grandma Tsunade is going to be the Hokage starting today.
Jiraiya: Why do you seem so discontented with it.
Naruto: Because compared to the third Hokage, she has violent nature, is selfish, irresponsible with money, short-tempered and an idiot. It makes me wonder if she could do the job.
Tsunade was angry hearing Naruto.
Shizune tries to distract Tsunade by saying.
Shizune: Tsunade sama, shall we order something?
Naruto: Besides, she is an old woman in her fifties but transforms into a young lady. I wonder if it is ok for a Hokage to cheat everyone.
Scarlet thinks ' Busted!, I already told this idiot once to never ask a man his salary and a woman her age, but he probably forgot it. Now he probably got on Tsunade's nerves'
Tsunade slams on the table and shouts
Tsunade: Step outside you little brat.
Scarlet: Not again!
All of us get out to the road. Naruto and Tsunade stand opposite to each other.
Tsunade: I may look like this but I am going to be the Fifth Hokage. There is no way I will be going all out against a kid. I will only use one finger against you.
Naruto: Even though I am just a kid right now I will become the Hokage in future.
Tsunade becomes emotional as she sees the shadow of Dan and Nawaki in Naruto.
Naruto rushes towards Tsunade as he attempts to punch her which she dodges and flicks his headband. Tsunade stops her finger in front of Naruto's forehead. Naruto closes his eyes instinctively. Instead of flicking Tsunade kissed Naruto's forehead.
Tsunade: Become a fine man, Naruto.
Everyone smiles seeing this.
Tsunade: Didn't a certain someone want to become my disciple?
Scarlet: So you are accepting me as your disciple?
Tsunade: Of course.
Scarlet: Thank you, Master.
Scarlet: Hey should I call you Aunt Tsunade or Master.
Tsunade: During training, you will call me Master other time you are going to call me Aunt Tsunade.
Jiraiya: Now let us return to Konoha.
Naruto: Hey, nee-chan and I have not eaten the meal yet.
Naruto and Scarlet quickly eat the meal and catch up with Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune.
While travelling back to Konoha, Tsunade says.
Tsunade: Hey, there are some hot springs nearby. Why don't we relax a bit?
Naruto: We need to go to the village, we don't have time for something like that.
Jiraiya nods as he says.
Jiraiya: That's right. The village is in an emergency right now we need to go back soon.
Tsunade comes close to Jiraiya and says in his ear.
Tsunade: There will be many ladies in the mixed hot springs.
Jiraiya shows a perverted smile as he says.
Jiraiya: Let's go, it is good to relax sometimes in a while.
Naruto: How can he change his words so soon.
Scarlet eyes shine as she thinks ' Time to display my gambling skills'
