Chapter 8- Tsunade
Walking into the town I start looking for an inn to stay in. Even if I find her, she won't want to leave immediately if it isn't urgent. Hiruzen probably wanted this. After booking an inn I start to look for her, starting with the biggest gambling den. Walking in I already know this is the right one.
"Bullshit, Shizune we need more money! Let's go to one of the surrounding villages." Tsunade screams and urges Shizune.
"No, you need to stop. That was already 5 million ryo, you also already borrowed all the money from the surrounding villages and made me heal people to pay it off." Shizune says while holding Tonton.
'Guess it's my time to step in.' I think walking up to them. Pulling out the scroll.
"Tsunade, Lord Third has given me the mission of finding you. Here is the scroll." She takes the scroll and opens it, her face darkens a little and glances at me, then returns to reading it.
"The old man wants me to teach you. He said you're a genius, becoming a jonin at 13. I have no reason to take a student, so just carry on. I don't care how much of a genius you are." She says with a sneer. She seems much more hostile here then she was in the show. Does she know Hiruzens dirty deeds? Makes sense if she does. She isn't stupid, she should at least know of her own clan's demise. If she doesn't teach me, I'll have to go back to the village and deal with Danzo.
"Tsunade how about a bet." I said after thinking for a second. "We'll play higher or lower. If I win you teach me if you win, I'll give you 2 million ryo."
"Hmm, alright. I should be able to beat a brat like you. I've been gambling since you were in diapers." She said with a little excitement."
The dealer takes a cup of dice out and starts shaking them. "High." She says staring at the dealer.
"I'll go low then." The dealer nods and put the cup on the table. Pulling the cup up it's 1, 3, 2. "Low" he calls out.
"Well, Tsuande looks like I won."
"Bullshit let's go again. I'll go low'
"Alright I'll go high"
"5,6,5"
"Again! Low!" She says with wide eyes. "High then"
"5, 5, 5"
"Again, high!"
"2, 1, 1"
"Again!"

"Again."
"No Tsunade. That was the 20th game. You lost each one." Shizune says looking at her with a weary smile.
"Well Tsunsade, it's an honor being your student."
"Fuck. Alright let's go eat. You're buying." She says with a deep sigh while also performing summoning jutsu. "Bring this scroll to the Third Hokage." She tells a small slug that then disappears into a puff of smoke.
"That's fine" Well that was easier than I thought. She really does have bad luck. The first couple of games I was cheating with Earth Flow, but I stopped when I realized it was genuinely always opposite of what she'd pick. She is definitely the Legendary Sucker. After finding somewhere to eat she started to buy a lot of alcohol and some food, mainly alcohol though.
"When we get to the inn, I'll give you some chakra control exercise to do that medic-nin need to do before they start healing someone. Medic-nin need very good chakra control for the jutsu we use." She said after putting down another bottle of sake.
"Alright." No need to say that I probably don't need it. She might not believe me, so I'll show her when I get to the inn they're staying at. No long later we head to the inn and she gets a jar with different colored sand. "Separate the colors into distinct parts and come get when we you're done." She says turning around. "Done." I called out before she could even walk away.
"What?" She whips around staring at the jar. She walks over to it and pours chakra through it. Noticing that it's all separated her eyes go wide. "How did you do it so fast?"
"I've always had good chakra control. I've been doing it since before the academy. Like the scroll said, I'm a genius."
"Alright then. Shizune do you still have your books?"
"I do, I have everything he'd need knowledge wise. I don't have any jutsu though."
"That's fine we can teach him jutsu later. Go get the books." She says grabbing a bottle of sake. Shizune comes back with a load of books. "Read them all. If you have any questions, ask me or Shizune." Tsunade says and lays down while Shizune picks up Tonton and sits down. 'I have a lot of reading to do.' I think with a sigh.
Hiruzen POV
I look over the scroll Katsuyu has delivered to me. 'So, Tsunade took him as his student, but they won't be coming back liked I hoped. Should've saw this coming. She's been away for a while, so unless it's something big she won't come back easily.' I said with a sigh. 'If she came back with him not only would we have the best medic-nin back, but I could also influence Ryohei and instill a greater Will of Fire into him.' I sigh again. I can only hope they come back soon enough.
Danzo POV
'The little bastard left and is now being taught by Tsunade. The old fool wants another pawn like Minato. Someone he can manipulate behind the scenes, but Tsunade won't let it happen. I will have to take action again. If I was Hokage this would have never happened. He would already be a weapon for the village' I think with a sneer. 'The old monkey has gone soft. He thinks I won't go after him anymore because he is with Tsunade and his now her student. Shizune won't be a problem and just show a little blood and Tsunade is dealt with. I'll take him and turn him into a true weapon.' I tap on my desk and three shadows appear.
"You have a new mission. Go find and take Ryohei. He is with Tsunade and her student. Don't kill Tsunade but her student is fair game if it comes to it. You're dismissed." With that they're gone. They should be able to handle it and if not, I'll take a trip myself and deal with them all.
