Chapter 156: CH 156
"Come on Tsunade-baachan." Naruto tried to reason, his hood up to avoid the desert sun beating down from above, "Think of it like this, Just let me Henge into you and you into me and I'll be your body double until we get to Suna. It's a totally sound idea. Besides, I'm going to be wearing that stuff soon enough anyway, I might as well get used to it now."
Tsunade shot an amused glance to her left where Naruto was standing, "Jiraiya said you were gunning for Hokage these days. What makes you think you actually have what it takes brat?" Naruto put on a thinking face, "Well... I'm Minato Namikaze's kid, the remnant of a powerful clan, and loosely related to you so I have the lineage one would say, if you would promote me again I could start proving that I'm strong enough more than I already have, oh, and I already beat you back when we first met so I have a recorded win over a sannin!"
Tsunade got a tick mark on her head, "That was not a recorded fight you idiot! I was using one finger and was taking it easy on you, and I still ended up knocking you flat on your spiky blonde ass!"
Naruto grinned at her, "I never told you to go easy on me, and you made the terms of the fight making it an exhibition bout, you ended up using your entire hand to wail on my face thus you broke the stipulation and lost. Therefore I won, therefore I have a victory over you. And I have witnesses; Shizune-neechan, Ero-kyofu, and Tonton all saw me take you back to school." "You should really stop talking before I pick you up and chuck you in Suna's general direction." Tsunade threatened.
Naruto's eyes were shaded by the hood draped over his face, "That actually sounds pretty useful." He looked over at the dark-haired medic holding a small pig, "Do you want Tsunade-baachan to throw you across the desert too Shizune-neechan? It has to beat walking, I hate the desert."
Tsunade flicked Naruto in the back of the head, propelling him forward into a sand dune. As a smile came to her face, Shizune rushed over to dig Naruto out alongside Tonton, "Naruto-kun are you alright?"
Tsunade laughed as she neared her bodyguards, "Shizune I hit the runt harder than that on a near daily basis. He's fine."
Naruto popped out of the dune hacking out sand and brushing it out of his hair, "That was totally unnecessary by the way. A 'shut the hell up Naruto' would have worked just fine. I do follow your orders after all."
Tsunade picked him up by his collar and dropped him back on his feet as the kept walking, "I said to stop talking."
