Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
When Naruto had reported to the Hokage's office for his mission debriefing, he hadn't expected to find a distraught Shizune sitting at the desk and muttering to herself. He walked over and stood in front of the desk for several moments, and eventually cleared his throat loudly to gain Shizune's attention.
He was promptly tackle-hugged onto the ground. His mind blanked for a few seconds until he realized that a girl was hugging him and crying into his chest. Not knowing what else to do, he hugged her back and tried to get her to tell him what was wrong.
"Tsu-Tsunade-senpai locked herself in her apartment and won't come out and this has never happened before and I don't know what to DO and - !" The girl's rambling trailed off into hiccups. Naruto took a second to process what she said, then spoke.
"Shizune, why did Tsunade lock herself…" He trailed of when she let out a loud wail of sorrow, then tried again. "Shizune, why did Tsunade lock herself in her apartment?" Shizune seemed to take a few seconds to compose herself, reducing her wails to sniffling before she answered.
"You know that Danzou guy, the one on the council? He started a propaganda campaign against Tsunade, sighting some of the missions she's failed in her past. One was an infiltration mission gone wrong, and her captors r-raped her. That's what seems to have her worked up, and she wouldn't let anyone touch her and then she locked herself in her apartment." She broke off in another loud wail and buried her face in his chest again. He somehow managed to stand up without leaving her on the ground and sat her down on the Hokage's desk. He walked out of the office, telling Shizune that he was 'gonna fix Tsunade.'

A little while later he was standing in front of Tsunade's apartment door, where several jounin were waiting around, apparently too scared to try and enter.
"Pussies!" Naruto muttered with a glare, then knocked and yelled, "Tsunade, you in there?!"
"No! Go away!" Naruto smirked a little at the reply, then somehow managed to force the locked door open without breaking it. The blonde Hokage was sitting on the couch with a blanket wrapped tightly around her frame.
"Geeze, Baa-chan…" She turned and glared when she heard his voice, growling a low, "Get out." He ignored her warning and walked over to stand in front of her, giving her his patented Squinty Glare.ä The kept up the silent glaring contest for a few moments before Naruto slowly reached up and poked her square in the forehead. She gave a small growl, but didn't react otherwise.
Poke.
Growl.
Poke.
Growl.
Poke!
Growl!
Tsunade stood up abrupt and started, "Listen, brat; I don't know what you're trying to pull, but - !" When she stood up, she had inadvertently given Naruto an opening. He poked her in her stomach, causing her rant to be cut off with a high-pitched giggle.
Poke.
Giggle.
Poke
Giggle.
Poke!
Giggle!
Naruto abruptly tackled Tsunade to the ground with a howl of laughter, tickling her sides. She laughed until tears streamed from her eyes, writhing and making attempts to escape him, but not really trying. Eventually they were both worn out and Naruto rose to a standing position, helping her up as he did so. She smiled and planted one of her Big Sis kisses on his forehead and mussed his hair.
"Thanks, Kiddo." They stood there for several moments until Tsunade noticed several jounin peeking in through the doorway. They walked out, causing the nin to stumble over each other trying to clear a path, eliciting a grin form the Hokage. Naruto cleared his throat.
"So, about this Danzou guy… can I kill him?"
