66 So cute

Sighing with helplessness Tsunade rubbed her hair into a mess.

"Ugh, what have I gotten myself into."

Tsunade sighed once again.

She had no choice now, she had to accept her situation helplessly.

In her heart, she also wanted to stop this meaningless massacre, even if it means the Hokage will see her as a threat to his position.

She hoped that her Sensei won't think she's trying to become the Hokage, but he was too paranoid for his own good.

Although he should have this much trust in her.. right?

'No, he will definitely think I am a threat, Konoha is no longer the Konoha it used to be grandfather.'

'Somehow this Hidden cloud Ninja has more will of fire than Konoha's Hokage does.'

Tsunade shook her head, she then angrily looked at Sato who was drinking some tea he found in the corner.

"Don't drink my tea, I saved my money to buy that."

Waving his hand Sato ignored Tsunade and took another sip.

He had gotten comfortable when Tsunade was having her mental breakdown, he made this tea and he was going to drink it.

"Stop ignoring me! And don't you think it's about time you show me what you really look like?"

This attracted Sato's attention, he looked up with a surprised face.

"How did you find out? With my chakra control it shouldn't be easy to see that I am transformed."

Tsunade folded her hands below her chest and smirked.

"I use transformation justu all the time, even if I am unconscious, I am much more experienced than you are."

Tsunade prided herself on the fact that she was better than Sato at something.

She was feeling pretty sad when he easily outsmarted her and overpowered her at the same time, but she finally had an advantage over him.

"Haha you don't need to feel down, your chakra control is one of the best I have ever seen."

"Now show me what you really look like, I can see that you are transformed but I don't know your real face."

Tsunade was excited to know Sato's real face, was his real face also handsome, or was he a tough looking middle aged man?

Maybe he was an old guy, maybe they were of similar ages, or maybe-

*Poof*

"You are six years old?!?!"

Tsunade almost screamed at the top of her lungs, what the actual hell was this!

"No, did you transform into someone else again, you must have right.. haha, don't pull my leg."

Tsunade trembled and pinched Sato's cheek, then became completely grey.

This wasn't a transformation, this was a six year old boy, she was just outsmarted by a six year old boy.

"Why did your village send someone so young to such a dangerous mission?? Is the hidden cloud insane!"

Tsunade once again raised her voice, it all made sense to her now.

Only someone as young as Sato would still have such a burning will of fire.

He might be from a different village but the truth is, that he was going out of his way to help his friend in Konoha, this was enough to prove his will.

Tsunade wasn't a prejudiced person, she didn't hate a village's younger generation just because she faught against their older generation.

Even in the orginal story she didn't mind sending her best team to help Gaara, and accepted Gaara's help to bring back Sasuke.

She had no problems about working with the hidden cloud, but Sato was too young, she didn't want someone so young to be in danger.

"No, I won't work with you, I'll send you back to the hidden Cloud."

"As for the Uchiha massacre, I'll handle it by myself, trust me I won't let you friend's family die."

Tsunade's attitude changed completely after seeing that Sato was six, she was patting his head with a loving expression.

'This woman, she is treating me like a child.'

This was pissing Sato off, his forehead was popping veins.

"Treat this situation seriously Tsunade."

Sato said with a cold tone, but Tsunade who was used to his adult voice found this incredibly cute.

"You are so cute!"

The sheer difference between Sato's two forms was too much for Tsunade, she hugged him and started rubbing his hair.

She completely ignored that he was smarter than her and he was as strong as her, she couldn't take him seriously when he was this cute.

"You."

Sato was speechless, Tsunade was so hard to work with.

'This might be due to her mental trauma.. she did lose her younger brother a few years back.'

'Someone young like me going into danger might be making her instinctively protective.'

Sato assumed this was the reason for her behaviour.

Her younger brother was a very important part of her character, this was the whole reason why she favoured Naruto in the orginal.

That, and a desire to do the right thing, these two qualities in someone always touches Tsunade's heart.

"Sigh, okay, I won't ask you to put me down, but I still need to go with you."

"I am hidden cloud's messenger, you might have heard about me, I am Sato Nii."

"My presence is important in Konoha if we want to avoid a war."

Tsunade didn't put down Sato, she happily kept hugging him and looked at him curiously.

Seeing that she really wasn't gonna put him down, he simply got comfortable.

"You can carry me then, I don't mind, but I really need to go to Konoha, I am hidden cloud's representative!"

"Please hurry up, we can't be too late to Konoha, me and Shisui have already made a plan to save the Uchiha."

"You just need to follow the plan and we will guarantee no bloodshed happens, of course, you can still quit, I won't blame you."

"All we need is your name, you don't need to be physically there if you don't want to, I won't make it hard for you anymore, I promise."

Tsunade was a really good person so Sato gave her a choice once more, but she had already made up her mind to help the Uchiha and Konoha in general.

Even if Sato no longer threatened her, she wasn't going to back out now, especially when a young child like him was trying to do everything he could to save people.

If she leaves someone as pure as him behind she will never be able to forgive herself.

"Okay.. I can bring you with me, but you need to stay behind me at all times, I am not letting someone like you die for Konoha's peace."

"Your loyalty to your friend is great, but you are a hidden Cloud Ninja, don't put yourself in danger for us."

"You are still young so you don't understand many things, not everyone is as noble as you are, they will hunt you down even if you want to save everyone without bloodshed."

'I have had enough of young children like you being pushed to their deaths, no more.'

Tsunade added the last part in her mind.

Sato meanwhile was helpless, Tsunade had the wrong idea, he wasnt doing this because he was noble, but because he wanted the Uchiha to follow him.

Whatever.

She could think what she wanted, he only cared about the results.

"Are you ready? Hold tight, I'll use body flicker."

Sato's veins once again popped, she was telling him about the dangers of body flicker as if he was a genin, he really didn't like being treated like a child..

*Swish*

With that Tsunade ran out of the room and flickered to Shizune and Itachi.

When she found them they were sitting and eating icecream, smiling and talking to each other.

'Itachi's got game.'

Sato praised Itachi with a nod, Tsunade didn't mind this and called them.

"Shizune and you kid, let's go, we are going back to Konoha."

Shizune stood up with a confused face.

"Konoha? What happened Tsunade sama?"

She asked, Tsunade shook her head and asked Shizune to follow her.

"We are going back to stop a masscare, now don't ask questions and come with me."

Shizune gupled, a massacre!? That sounds like big news but she wasn't confident that she could help with this.

Did Tsunade sama lose a bet again or something? Why was a massacre happening out of nowhere?

Tsunade sama really gets into all sorts of troubles..
