41 Kintama-4

"Call me crazy, but I think you might not like me." I said to Tsunade with a bored look on my face, my clue to her dislike towards me? The fist she had buried next to my head.

"Bastard, punching somebody right after making an agreement!" Tsunade said, a smile that radiated murderous intentions on her face.

"Well I had to finish the fight. Don't you know that unsettled fights can end up with grudges that last seven generations between our lines." I said with a calm look on my face as I took another piece of meat from the grill and ate it.

"Oh no worries. When I'm done with you there will be only one line left." The granddaughter of the god of shinobi growled as she cracked her knuckles.

"My my, not sure I have ever been proposed like this since I left the Land of Bears. I need to think about this." I said as I averted my gaze like a shy maiden, making the legendary sucker blush like a tomato while the other occupants of our table choked on their drinks.

"Bastard, that wasn't what I meant and you know it!" Heh, she was fun.

"Well, leaving aside unimportant things like that, will any of you tell me why you people started to fight? Which led to the untimely demise of my meal."

"Dude, you are eating more than you lost." Jiraiya seemed to find my grievances unreasonable, shows what he knows.

"It is the principal of the matter. Don't you know that grudge over food can last for longer than seven generations?" I said with grunt as I kept eating.

"Is there anything that doesn't end up with a grudge that lasts longer than seven generations?" The blond brat and the so called prophesied savior of this world asked with a tilt of his head.

"Of course there is. For instance, I can kill you before you have any children. No next generation, no grudge for generations." I said with a smile that showed my teeth, which somehow seemed to frighten the future savior. Guess the future peace of the nations is doomed.

"Doesn't matter, tell me why you people ended up crashing on my food." I said with a glare and Tsunade snorted.

"If you really wanna know. These idiots wanted me to be Hokage and the brat started acting mighty when I refused. So I taught him a lesson in humility." She said with a roll of her eyes, an action that was not appreciated by the said brat.

"What was that?! You think you can just act like nothing happened after insulting the gramps and the other Hokages?! I still am not done with you!" Naruto seemed to be ready to jump at the blond Senju with the intention of having his fists have a conversation with Tsunade's face but Jiraiya seemingly had learned his lesson and was keeping the brat from doing something he would regret.

"Guess your lesson didn't stuck." I said with a raised eyebrow and she just scoffed.

"I am good, but nobody is good enough to teach this brat anything." Her words made the said brat trash even harder under Jiraiya's grip.

"Whelp, guess I do owe you an apology. I wouldn't have reacted any better if somebody tried to take me that stupid job either." I said with a smile as I poured a saucer with sake and gave it to the surprised Senju.

"What does that mean?! Don't you know..." That was when I tuned Naruto out. People may have liked him as an anime character but that is merely because they don't have to actually deal with his voice. Their opinion on him would change quite fast if they did.

"Now that's a surprise, didn't think there was anyone who would actually accept that position as the curse it is." Tsunade said with a somewhat triumphant look in her eyes.

"That's because most people are idiots." I shook my head before raising my hand.

"Miss, can we have three chocolate parfaits here." I gave my order and smiled as the waitress nodded and went towards the kitchen. I had no idea how parfaits ended up in this world, but I had no intention questioning it.

"They are, unable to see that anyone who takes that hat is doomed to die." The last Senju said with a shake of her head before taking a sip from her saucer, ignoring the blond idiot glaring at her.

"Not exactly." She gave me a confused look as I said that.

"While Hokages always die in the end, that isn't exactly because of the position itself." I said with a shook of my head as the waitress brought the parfaits I had ordered and placed them all in front of me.

"You lost me." Tsunade said with a tilt of her head while the other people on our table were also looking at me with confusion.

"The position of Hokage doesn't kill you. The position of Hokage makes you want to die." I said with a sagely nod.

"Just think of the death of the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama the racis... cough cough I mean the inventor. How did he die?" I asked with a smile and Tsunade answered with a look that was between confused and angry.

"He was ambushed by the Gold and Silver brothers of Kumo. He fought them in order to let his team escape." She said, looking sad at the thought of her granduncle.

"Except the dude had Hiraishin. Meaning he could have just teleported after fighting a while." I said and their eyes widened.

"But he didn't. Because he knew that if he survived he would have to stay as the Hokage. But if he died, the dumbass student he conned to wear the hat would have to be the Hokage." I said with a smile and Tsunade's shoulders started to shake before she slammed her head on the table, leaving deep cracks on it.

"That explains far too much." The last Senju groaned while her student tried to make her raise her head back up.
