Naruto : Uchiha : Chapter 15

Tsunade grinned, taking out her back and popping her hand in to pull out the bento her mother had made for her. Her eyebrows furrowed while she rummaged for her lunch only for it to turn into a full blown scowl before her face marred one of pure horror.

She remembered her mother calling out to her and keeping her lunch on the table but she didn't remember herself putting it in, while she was running around the house due to being so late…

...

She slammed her head on the desk and let out a soft sigh. She had forgotten it at home…

Naruto looked to the side after hearing her sigh and was a little confused as to why the girl hadn't brought out her lunch yet. Well, she was a little late in the morning so…

"Did you forget your lunch?" he asked nervously, making her look at him with irritated eyes. She huffed and looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed that he had pinned the reason right in on the first try.

"Why do you ask? Going to compare me to the elite Uchiha…" her snarl trailed off with an innocent blink of confusion seeing a wrapped sandwich being forced into her hands. She looked at him stunned, no one else had bothered asking why she wasn't eating except for offering her to sit with them that she had refused as politely as she could in her hungry state.

"Why are you giving me this?" she asked in a baffled voice, figuring it must be some sort of prank while Naruto had his innocent look on her and gave her a blink of confusion.

"Well we do have taijutsu lessons after lunch…" he pointed out making her nod, but not quite getting his point. "…so it will have a lot of physical training and you'll need our energy. You wouldn't be able to go through them on an empty stomach.

I brought an extra with me in case I got late for home so you can have it if you want…" he told her and went back to munching on his sandwich in silence.

The silence was eating away at Tsunade's heart while she stared at the food in her hands with a bitten lip. The guilt was eating away on her now, she hadn't even talked to him nicely yet he was the only one kind enough to see her plight and offer her his food.

"I'm sorry…" she mumbled in a soft whisper, her cheeks pink in embarrassment at having to apologize to a classmate on her first day. Naruto though didn't hear her whisper in the whole loud racket in their class and looked on at her curiously.

"I'm sorry I didn't hear you, can you repeat it…" he trailed off seeing her glare at him with her puffed out cheeks.

"I said I'm sorry for treating you the way that I did alright?" she asked quickly, her face turning tomato red from the effort it took to get out an apology out of her heart.

"But don't expect me to repeat it…" she mumbled in an embarrassed voice making the boy blink in confusion. Why he want to do that?

"Because I won't, get it?" she asked him sternly and he merely nodded dumbly, not quite getting why she was getting so hyper. Maybe she was a lot hungry he answered to himself intelligently and munched on in silence.

"And thank you for sharing your food with me…" she mumbled as an afterthought, this time surprising him. No one had ever thanked him before, so it did embarrass him a little and he merely nodded timidly, munching on his lunch with a smile.

Tsunade dug in her sandwich and her eyes widened in surprise at the strange burst of flavors in her mouth. It was unlike anything she had ever had before, a bit weird but still nice. She thought it was perfect a moment later and devoured the sandwich hungrily.

She choked on a large bite a bit at the end, and gulped down the offered water bottle half in a single gulp while patting her chest. Naruto smiled that she liked his cooking, as little as he knew for himself and kept going through his own at a slow albeit calm pace.

"So why aren't you being mean to me?" she asked making him stop in his small bites and look at her with a confused look, his head tilted to show his confusion quite clearly to her.

"I'm sorry I don't get you…" he said cutely after a moment of silence between them and she merely stared at him incredulously.

"You're an Uchiha right?" she asked pointing to him with her finger for emphasis of her point getting a nod from the boy.

"And I'm a Senju?" she asked yet again, getting yet another nod from the boy who remembered her name from the morning introduction but wasn't seeing her point.

He stared on at her innocently while she was staring at him expectantly for a sudden breakthrough.

"Sorry but I'm still not getting you." he finally said to break the thick silence making her head drop tiredly. Was she going to have to explain everything around here?

"Our clans have been enemies for generations, so all Uchiha kids try to bully me or play pranks on me. So in a wrap they are plain old mean to me, why aren't you doing the same?" she asked him curiously while he merely bit down his last bite while popping open his bottle for a drink.

"Well you haven't done anything to me, so being mean to you just for being a Senju is quite stupid." he said simply and she was surprised at his simple yet deep words.

She grinned and shook her hands free off the bread crumbs, to extend it for a shake when he finished drinking water from his bottle and popped it close.

"Then I guess we can be friends, so let's start again. I'm Tsunade Senju nice to meet'cha!" she chirped up happily making the boy smile.

He wiped his hands with his handkerchief making her quite embarrassed that she hadn't done the same, but she had probably forgotten that at home too she thought in silent embarrassment when he shook her hand with a grin.

"I'm Naruto Uchiha it's nice to meet you too." he said in a chipper tone making her grin and nod when they finally shook hands at the start of a new friendship.

"Alright class, it's time for your first taijutsu lesson, so everybody come out now." the teacher called out from the door making them all start to walk out with Naruto and Tsunade walking out together in the back.

========================

Romance will be there but it will be after the story's action picks up in the next couple of chapters and don't worry action will be loaded too.

Don't question me when he'll get Mangekyou, please it gets annoying reading that same thing each story or that will their kids get Rinnegan.

I swear we have only started yet so don't put those two up there.
