15 One of us? (2/2)

”Fine whatever. I'll fight you tomorrow. It would suck if you did go easy on me so it would be great if you didn't as its a way for me to grow too.” I shrug my shoulders and sigh as I lean back in the chair.

”Excellent, I knew I could count on you. This will also help give the people a sense of peace before the war starts... especially after you dumped all those people and bodies there. That gave many people quite a shock.” I rub the back of my head and grin, oops.

Jiraiya looks at me and laughs, ”Well I know you have the makings of a good Hokage in you, and I don't just say that because you know the future. Haha” Orochimaru looks at Jiraiya and raises an eyebrow.

He then speaks after thinking for a moment, ”What do you mean by... seeing the future?” he then turns to me and then gives me a strange looks. Not like a test subject, but more like reverence.

Jiraiya realizes at this point that Orochimaru wasn't there, ”Oh yeah, so to catch you up, and remember this is secret okay? Well our buddy Joe here is from another world and somehow knows the future because of it. Creepy right? He even knew I was practicing sage mode!” Everyone stairs at Jiraiya with wide eyes.

The Hokage speaks first, ”Wait Jiraiya, you are a practitioner of Sage jutsu? Wait, and Joseph, you knew this?!”

I nod while Jiraiya smacks his head, ”Shit, I forgot that you guys didn't know. Just like how I forgot Orochimaru didn't know about Joe knowing the future.”

”Well this cleared up my day for relaxation and its not even 3 yet. Say Tsunade, how about that date later, hmm~?” I give her a shit eating grin and she freezes up a bit. I can tell in her mind she just went 'Shit!'

*****************Tsunade POV ****************************

Shit! This bastard. Well he's not a bastard but still this was a rigged bet! How did he manage to kill Danzo? That should have been impossible even though he knows shadow clone jutsu and that teleportation technique.

Then add in the fact that he somehow convinced Orochimaru to stop being such a Sadist and to reflect on his actions scares me. I've tried talking to him, the Hokage has tried talking to him, for gods sake his best friend, Jiraiya, tried talking to him and nothing worked!

Yet this man did it all on a day?! Where the fuck did he come from?

I wonder what grandfather would think about him. Well knowing him he probably would fight him and see if he was worthy of me! Or try and gamble with him and, knowing both of our luck, end up with me being his bride.

Haha, I miss that old man. If he thought it would benefit me he would have no problem at all doing it, even if it meant losing a fight on purpose.

What would he do now though? Well he liked women so he would decline naturally, but what would he do for me? I think about it for a few moments before sighing, he would tell me to honor my bet and have a fun time honestly.

Well I'll make sure to go and have a lot of fun then, give Joseph a run for his money hehe.

”Alright, fine what time?” Hehe, I have such a great plan in mind, I don't want him to be able to speak easily tonight at all.

***************End Tsunade POV********************

Haha, wow I can't believe it! She actually said yes? Hm, I expected her to try to come up with an excuse or something but well I am happy with that too.

”Well since it's about to be 3 in a bit how about 8? I'll treat you to dinner and a bit of a drink, not too much for me though since I have a fight apparently.” I look over at the Hokage and sigh, to which he responds with a chuckle. I look at Jiraiya and Orochimaru and both seem to be giving a prayer for my safety. Haven't they seen my regeneration?

Oh well whatever. Tsunade decided to respond after thinking for a bit, ”How about 9? It will take time for me to get ready, plus I know a good place that opens at that time~.” I don't like that mischievous smile that she's giving me, but I also can't resist it so I give in and let the date start later.

It didn't take long after me saying sure for her to run out of the room. Just how much is this girl getting ready?

I continue sitting down where I was and take a sip of the tea I had set down earlier when the others start talking, starting with the Hokage, ”I hope you know she is the granddaughter of the first Hokage-” I nod before he continues, ”Well then I guess you should know just how lonely she is since her grandfather passed away. He was one of the few people to treat her as a person, not as the Hokage's granddaughter. That's probably why she denied the seat honestly, she doesn't want to be in his shadow, especially since she knows that she isn't as strong as him.” He sighs after remembering all the pain that she had suffered, even while he was teaching her. He was thankful to Jiraiya and Orochimaru, though Jiraiya didn't see her as a relative of the Hokage he did see her as a very beautiful woman.

Then was Orochimaru's turn, ”As the Hokage said, be careful with her. I know from dealing with her for so long that she is actually excited by this, date, that you are taking her on. She normally goes out to important gatherings as she is normally so she is either going all out or she has a nasty surprise. Either way, don't hurt her as she isn't as strong as she puts on.” He has a lot of reasonable advice, as expected of someone who watches peoples habits constantly.

Now Jiraiya spoke up, ”Haha, him hurt her? You must be Joking! Kidding kidding. I know how she is. Seriously though be careful, not just with her, but with yourself. After all you are one of us now!” He then leans in closely, ”If you get frisky with her give me all the juicy details. I plan on writing a book about that stuff hehe.” He grins as he walks away, what a cheeky bastard, he can get his own experience hehe.

I then walk out of the Hokage's office after waving them all goodbye as I have things I need to take care of beforehand too.
