—————————————————————————————

For days to no end, I continued to send my clones on the mission to farm the gathering professions, effectively cutting my chakra reserves to a third of my full, as it was what I needed to keep the clones active twenty-four hours seven days a week, and according to my calculations, I would have all the gathering professions at the max level within a year or so. Mostly because the materials I had to farm were infinitely harder to find than in WOW.

While my clones did that, I focused on my daily training. Which itself included spending a minimum of three to four hours with Tsunade daily, be it training or just hanging together.

"Raiden, the Hokage has summoned you!" An Anbu officer informed me, as I meditated in my room, and with desperation, I groaned, what part of vacation didn't Hiruzen understand?

"I'll be there in a few," I sighed, shoving the Anbu off my house, Anbu or not, I wanted my boundaries.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Two minutes after the Anbu officer disturbed my peace of mind, I arrived at Hiruzen's office, where with a very long sigh, I asked him, "What… do you want today…." I mean, seriously, since I arrived he has sent me on missions almost on a daily basis. If I'm not killing a traitor, I'm training his team because he is busy.

"No missions today, don't get all grumpy," Hiruzen chuckled, "I just wanted to tell you what I have to tell you personally," he sighed, taking a deep breath afterward. "Tobirama's sensei funeral, we have postponed it… for a while, but we are finally in a place we can do it without hurting the village logically speaking, and two… the inheritance he left you,"

"What?" I froze at the inheritance part.

"He left you… his house in the Senju district, and the majority of his scrolls and books," Hiruzen smiled and then pouted, "All he left me was a letter that said, grow up.. And hit yourself in the head every time you think of something stupid,"

At that, I laughed. "Can you blame him?"

"Very funny," Hiruzen rolled his eyes, "Now… the funeral is in a month, so… buy some formal clothes,"

"I will," I nodded.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I made my way to the Senju district to see the house, I encountered Tsunade, fuming in anger. Which is never good, and usually means Jiraiya was involved. "Raiden!" she shouted or saluted… not sure when she's like this.

"Should I run?" I asked with a smile, "I feel like I should,"

"Sorry, it's just… Jiraiya," Ha, I knew it.

"What did he do this time?" I asked, already anticipating something of idiotic magnitudes. I mean, it was Jiraiya, the kid had talent, but apparently having talent didn't translate to having a brain.

"Well, after our daily spar… which he lost, again…" Tsunade began, getting incredibly red, like tomato red, ninjas sure blush weird, "So… like the sour loser he is, he called me…. flat chested rhino,"

The last part was almost inaudible, "Flat Chested Rhino?" I repeated and she nodded, hiding her face under her hair. "Why the Rhino part though," I asked calmly.

"I… I actually have no idea," Tsunade replied.

"Well, Tsunade… if you want my advice, don't pay attention to him," I sighed.

"Am I though?" Tsunade mumbled.

"What?" I asked.

"Flat," Tsunade muttered.

"Tsunade… we are seven," I deadpanned, "I dare you to find a seven-year-old with fully developed breasts," I stopped for a moment to analyze that, and shuddered, "Scratch that… it would be disturbing if you find it, the point is… we are kids, and Jiraiya is an idiot,"

"Yeah… he is," Tsunade repeated in a more jovial tone, "I will kick his ass again next time I see him," she declared with enthusiasm, "Oh I almost forgot, look!" with a smile, she pointed to her feet, "I got the weights you told me about, it's hard to fight with them, but I do feel they are pushing forward," oh boy, what did I do... Oh well…

"Good," I smiled, patting her in the head softly, "Now… how about we get something to eat, I'm starving!"

"Oh-oh! I know a place that sells steak!" Tsunade like always eagerly accepted.

"Sounds good, though… I would kill for a pizza," Oh Pizza, a bounty from the heavens itself, how much I long to bite you again.

"What is… pizza?" Tsunade asked, clearly confused as I gasped in pain, emotional pain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the good things of having worked on a small pizzeria in my last life when I was a teenager is, that I remembered how to make a pizza, and Konoha had most of the ingredients, so instead of going for steak, Tsunade and I embarked on a quest to hunt the necessary ingredients, which took us an hour to do.

Then, it was all a matter of following the process the god themselves had taught us, which added another hour… I don't have an oven, so… it was trial and error with the fireball Jutsu. But in the end, the bounty of the heavens was finally complete in all its cheesy glory.

"It's… round," Tsunade commented with a faint smile.

"Oh I know," I nodded, dreamily staring at my creation.

"So… how do… how do I eat it?" Tsunade asked, soon she would feel what it's like to touch perfection, oh god, how I wished I had a camera.

"Allow me," I smiled, cutting her a slice, a succulent one. Then I put her slice on a plate, and told her, "Just grab it with a napkin, or without it… and bite into perfection itself,"

"Ok…. so… do I start with the big side, or the small one," Tsunade asked, pointing to the crust and the place the gods themselves designated to start the pizza.

"The small one," I chuckled at her terminology.

"Ok," Without a care in the world, Tsunade bit into the Pizza, and I was able to appreciate how her entire view of the world changed, "What is this, and how can I marry it?!"

"I already did my part in this world," I muttered with a smile.
