READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 28: Hotel talk
After handing all their money over to the villagers Tsunade and Naruto were officially broke. "Next time let's not fight in the middle of a town" Naruto stared down at his empty wallet, feeling more depressed than ever.
"Hey Tsunade let's have a drink, it's been a while since we talked over a glass of booze" Jiraiya asked Tsunade out for a drink. "You should go me and Naruto will go and book the hotel rooms" Tsunade was a little hesitant so Shizune decided to give her a little push and so Tsunade and Jiraiya left together as they left Naruto and shizune to take care of the rooms they'll be staying in later that night.
"Sorry but I'm all out of cash, Jiraiya will pay you back later" Naruto was about to leave when shizune stopped him "Naruto come with me I have something I want to say to you". The two of them wandered the streets and walked into the first inn they could find. They booked two rooms, one for the boys and the one next door for the shizune and Tsunade.
"So Shizune, what was it you wanted to say" Naruto jumped onto his bed while shizune was on her own in the other room. The walls thin enough for them to hear each other's voice loud and clear "I wanted to tell you about Lady Tsunade she's not what you think... What she said before, she didn't really mean it." shizune tried to Covey Tsunade's true nature to Naruto but he wasn't that easy to convince. "Why should I believe you".
"Tsunade knew all of the Hokage, The first second and even the fourth were her family and the third was her sensei. She hates the Hokage because it took away everyone she loved....even her brother and lover died in the pursuit of that dream they all shared, your dream" Naruto listened in silence as shizune explained everything to him. "The Hokage would give their life for the village but in the process they leave behind those dear to them, I'm sure you understand what it's like to be alone. Please don't hate Lady Tsunade this is just her unique way to grieve the losses she's had throughout her life because of the hokage".
Shizune had more to say but Naruto abruptly got up from his bed "I'm going to train". In a few moments Naruto walked outside of the hotel and into the streets of tanzakuga.'Being the Hokage was never easy and yet the closer I get the harder it becomes... I can't slack off'
On his way to find a spot to train Garm decided it was time to continue his training and so when he saw Naruto deep in thought he suck away to find a place of his own to train. 'Those who are weak are of no use to the pack, I cannot waste another moment'.
Half an hour later in a forest opening Naruto and his clones were already doing their part. "99...100" Naruto was lifting a boulder twice his size on his back, he supported it with his right arm while he performed a set of one handed pushups *crash* Naruto dropped the boulder to his side and layed on the ground facing up as he tried to catch a breath of air.
Staring into the clear blue sky he thought to himself "just like how I used to pull all those pranks back then I guess everyone lashes out when they're hiding the sadness inside them" after a minute or two he got up as he was done for the day he dispelled his clones starting with the ones precticing the rasengan "...No way! They did it !".
In naruto's palm a perfect blue spiraling sphere manifested itself. Not a single shed of chakra was out of naruto's control. To his left Naruto leered at an oddly spiral shaped tree "Nope it's too cool to destroy...hmmm ok that one looks like it's about to die anyways".To the right side a tree hanging on to life by a thread became Naruto's chosen target and so he dashed towards it with explosive speed clearly the result of the extra attention he put on his body.
As he reached the half way point he leaped 20 feet into the air perfectly calculating his decent towards the withering tree. "RASENGAN!!!" with a thrust of his arm the rasengan in his palm made inches towards the tree. Naruto confident in his control decided to pour more chackra into it as a result the rasengan grew in size. The giant rasengan drilled right through the tree blasting it to smitherines along with the ground underneath. As he poured more Chakra into it he suddenly lost control and the gust of wind fluctuating around the rasengan formed a tornado that blew him into the sky. Cuts spread across his body as sharp blades of wing grazed his flesh.
As he reached the peak of his accent he was high enough for him to see the entire forest "Woooaaahh! What just happened why am I in the sky again, I'm really gonna die if I don't think of something soon!!" Succumbing to the pull of gravity Naruto plummeted, his speed nearing terminal velosity. In the spur of the moment Naruto thought up a plan and activated the
Naruto used the clones as stepping stones. The speed of his decent gradually slowed down. Jumping off the final clone he fell on a tree and slid down its trunk in and fell on the ground. "Ugh...I'm glad I didn't destroy you" the tree that softened his landing happened to be the one he chose not to destroy on a whim.
'I can't let that happen again, I'm totally helpless in the sky..." Naruto got up and dusted himself off. His wounds began healing at a remarkably fast rate."Well I guess that my goal from now on, I'll conquer the sky!!" Lifting his palm to the sky Naruto declared his ambition outloud for the world to hear. "Pretty cool right Garm...Garm?".
