Naruto goes to the Trainingsground, Tsunade on her Knees

Tsunade sat behind her large desk and looked at Naruto, who had developed magnificently. The cheeky hothead had turned into quite a handsome young man, the training with Jiraiya had really done him good. She could clearly feel the chakra flow. He had even more chakra in him than Kakashi and wasn't even using the fox spirit's chakra. She instinctively wondered how powerful he would become once he could use it as well. Already, he was one of Konoha's most promising talents. A diamond in the rough. Even with Jiraiya's training, he was far from perfect. However, she could not tell him that. It was still far too young to already place such a burden on his shoulders. Besides, it was time to check how much progress had really been made.

She gave him the order to compete against Kakashi together with Sakura on the training ground. He had been without a mission for a few days and was probably bored.... Besides, Kakashi knew them better than anyone else. Especially against him the 2 would have to give everything. After the two left, Tsunade stood up and looked down at the village. She had a strange feeling, like something was wrong with the village. But it was hard to wrap her head around.

Sighing, she went to her desk and grabbed a scratch ticket.

"Jackpot..." she sighed softly. "That's not a good sign!"

She walked back to the window and bit her lower lip. If only she knew what that dark shadow was... Maybe it was the worries about Akatsuki. Everything Jiraiya had told about that organization was enough to scare her. She didn't know everything yet, but the little was enough. Every member of this group was an exceptional ninja. Probably strong enough to fight even a legendary Sanin. Tsunade was a capable fighter, but she was more of a medical ninja.

Still, she would do anything to protect Naruto. To protect the whole village. She carried the will of fire and was the granddaughter of the first Hokage.

Maybe things would get better now that Naruto was back in the village. Knowing her old friend, he would surely leave soon to find out more about the enemies or to chase after young girls.

The thoughts of all his lustful adventures made her mood a little better. How many times had he chased some girls in the hot springs and how many times had he gotten a bloody nose.

While she was in thought, she heard the door open and someone enter her office. Since only Shizune dared to enter the Hokage's office without permission, she turned around without worrying. Too late she realized that it was not her longtime student standing there, but someone else.

But before she could say anything she saw the eyes of the intruder. They were ... eyes... so... red... so...

Tsunade felt her body calm down, her chakra flow was disturbed.

"A gen jutsu!" it flashed through her mind, but it was too late. She was no longer able to concentrate her chakra and alone she was at the mercy of a gen-jutsu.

But then the feeling dissolved into thin air and she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't even know why she had been so tense anymore.

"Master?" she asked the person in front of her.

"Naruto is back?" her master asked calmly, looking at her with those unique eyes Tsunade loved so much. The eyes of her lord and master.

"Yes master. Do you wish me to kill him?" she asked as she saw him point to the ground and Tsunade willingly kneel before him.
