Kakashi removed his ANBU dog mask and went over to the Naruto who was still resting in Tsunade's arms. He looked at the child with interest and said, "I'm still trying to accept the fact that my master is trapped inside his own child. The irony of the situation is rather unique. It's a shame I won't be able to take care of the born Hokage child myself. After all, Naruto is the son of my master and as his father's former student-"
"Kakashi…," Sandaime interjected, causing the ANBU to turn to him and stand at attention, "We already discussed that you'll be too busy as an ANBU to raise and look after Naruto and I made it very clear that the boy will need balance in his life."
"…," Kakashi.
"However," Sandaime continued, "After what happened a few days ago, it's clear that the boy will be facing dangerous enemies from both in and outside these village walls. Especially since that notepaper we found had names of a few of Yondaime's enemies . Personally, I'd hate to image what would happen if Yondaime's enemies were to get a hold of Naruto. Therefore, I would like for you to keep an eye on Naruto from time to time."
Kakashi nodded wordlessly, willing to accept the task if that much. Sandaime returned his gaze back at Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, since you'll be raising Naruto, I took care of the matter of where you, Shizune and Naruto will be residing at. You three will be living in a nice size two story house not too far from the Hokage tower. The Genins have already moved all of both your and Shizune's things there."
"How much is it going to cost me," Tsunade joked, although she was truly in debt to some people whom she owes money to; some of debts resulted from her gambling habits.
"It won't cost you a thing," Sandaime assured, "I bought the house and it's fully paid for. Everything else though will be on you, except the gifts of course."
Tsunade smiled and nodded wordlessly.
"Now with that taken cared of I'll be returning back to the Hokage tower," Sandaime said, "I'll assign some Genins here to take all of the gifts and accessories here and bring them over to your new house Tsunade. Kakashi stand guard outside the room until the Genins arrive here. Tsunade will be leaving for her new home this afternoon."
Kakashi nodded before putting his mask back on as both he and Sandaime exited the room leaving both Shizune and Tsunade alone in the room with Naruto. The two women looked at the child who was now fully awake in Tsunade's arms. Life was going to be pretty interesting for Tsunade, Shizune and Naruto…
...
(A Month Later)
Reconstruction of Konohagakure No Sato was currently underway. Everyone was working together to rebuild the village and help whomever were in need of relief and comfort because of Kyuubi's attack.
Tsunade and Shizune were living in their new two-story house with Sandaime's compliments. They couldn't live in the Namikaze manor for obvious reasons since Naruto wasn't of age to claim his inheritance; however they were satisfied with what Sandaime gave to them. It was a nicely sized house comfortable enough for the three of them since they were going to be the only ones living there.
Tsunade was provided with gifts and accessories any new mother would need in caring for a newborn; from diapers, water and milk bottles, a stroller, baby clothes, the works. She took it that this treatment was given to her because she was the legendary Slug Sannin, but she sure as hell wasn't complaining, especially since she didn't have to pay it back much to her delight since she was already in a high debt rate.
Over the month both Tsunade and Shizune looked up various books on child psychology and parenting and applied whatever helpful advice they found. As challenging as being a mother was, Tsunade was growing fonder of the role than she ever expected and Shizune could testify to that.
(A Week Later; That Afternoon At The Senju Residence)
Shizune was walking towards Tsunade's bedroom with a bowl of warm water and a washrag. Tsunade had intended on cleaning Naruto after he woke up from his nap. Reaching the door, she knocked on it and waited for a reply.
"Yes," Tsunade asked from inside her room.
"May I come in," Shizune asked.
"…Need you ask," Tsunade sighed, "Just come in. The door isn't locked."
Complying, Shizune opened the door and proceeded into the room.
"Tsunade-sensei I got the bowl of warm water you ask-"
Shizune wasn't able to continue her statement when her eyes came upon a shocking sight. In front of her was Tsunade sitting on her futon Indian style with her sleeping kimono fully opened and hanging around her back and arms, exposing most of her slender body and white panties, leaving little to the imagination. Her long blond hair was flowing freely down her bareback and shoulders. As for her injuries she had after her battle with the kidnapper, Tsunade's full recovery revealed not a single scar or blemish much to her delight.
Being cradled in her arms was Naruto who to Shizune's surprise was sucking on Tsunade's left breast while her bra was resting at the side on her futon. Shizune almost dropped the bowl of water had she not regained her composure from the shock.
"Tsu…Tsunade-sensei," Shizune exclaimed, "…W…When did you…started breastfeeding!?"
"I started eight days ago," Tsunade smiled as she looked down to see Naruto continuing to draw milk from her breast.
"Eight days ago," Shizune repeated in surprise and shocked that she wasn't aware of this.
"That's right," Tsunade confirmed, "I used a new highly advanced chakra-induced medical jutsu I created. It took me over three months to create and perfect it. I call it Uetto Togi No Jutsu. It's a new medical jutsu for women who wish to be infant-nursing women, or wet-nurses so to speak. I'm the first to use this prototype medical jutsu of my own creation and as you can see, it turned out to be a real success…Maybe I'll teach this jutsu to you someday."
Shizune blushed heavily upon hearing that as she watched the scene in amazement as she noticed that Tsunade had a new glow to her, one she has never seen since Nawaki and Dan's deaths. Over the passed couple of weeks, she noticed the gradual changes Tsunade's behavior was undergoing as she started being more attached to Naruto. Needless to say the young girl was happy to see Tsunade breaking out of her hard and cold shell that would have completely overtook her had it not been for Sandaime's sincere supplication to her to adopt Naruto. Basically, adopting Naruto was Tsunade's remedy for her cold demeanor and cooling down her lust for gambling since she had to focus her time, strength and money taking care of a child now.
