Ok, so the list you seen me write up on the Reading version of Naruto the Inheritor, I plan on getting out a solitary chapter for each story and then making my way down the list again as I publish the chapters out, but don't worry if I forget a chapter for any of my new and upcoming stories, it'll come out eventually cuz I'll look at the list from time to time and see I need to do some work and get it out as soon as I possibly can for you guys.

Also,there is some news that I'm going to give you at the bottom of the chapter so please read all of it when you get there.

Now for the first time since I read this story, I present to you: Shinobi Alliance Reads-Hope of the Senju Clan...

ENJOY~

Hashirama groaned, "You have to be kidding me, what happened to Naruto the Inheritor?" he asked looking at the book.

"I don't know you just had to get overly excited about it Elder Brother." Tobirama growled at the Shodai before taking and throwing the book away.

"It's not my fault, I just wanted to read ahead just a couple passages." Hashirama said.

"Yeah, and look where that got us!" Tobirama snarled.

"HEY BONEHEADS!" a certain redheaded Uzumaki called out.

"Is she talking to you or is she talking to me?" Hashirama asked.

"I think it was addressed to both of us." Tobirama pointed out.

"Fine, I guess we'll just start without you!" Kushina called.

"Hold up!" Hashirama said.

"Yeah, wait just a minute there young lady." Tobirama admonsihed her.

"At least tell us the title?" Hashirama asked.

"Hope of the Senju Clan." Jiraiya said helpfully ignoring Tsunade's cry of 'HUH!~" as he told the First and Second Hokage's.

"HELL YEAH!" Hashirama exclaimed excitedly.

"Uh, Hashirama, he could be descended of my line." the younger brother pointed out.

"Hah, with how much you brood I'm sure the ladies would be nothing but turned off by such a attitude." the elder brother snorted out.

"I do not brood." Tobirama snorted.

"Oh yeah, you don't brood, then why do you always look like a Uchiha when you pout?"

"I do not look like an Uchiha, that is both a insult and a lie." Tobirama stated huffing.

"See, there you go, brooding like an Uchiha."

"Can we just start the story?" his younger brother asked.

"I agree, go on Kakashi, read it." Kushina said shaking the Hatake clans men by the shoulders excitedly.

It was late in the evening and the sun was slowly setting in the west, casting its lingering glow onto the land lucky enough to feel its retreating warmth. Two figures could be seen traveling along the road that lead from the border of Kawa no Kuni (River Country) to Tanzaku Gai, a small but lively town that was a fair distance from Konoha.

One of the figures was a tall male standing about six foot four. He seemed to be in his early forties or so, although he carried himself as someone half that age. He had extremely long and spiky white hair tied into a pony tail along with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face. Red lines ran down from underneath his eyes to his jawline and a unique head protector with the kanji of 'oil' was emblazoned across the metallic object firmly rested upon his forehead.

This man was Jiraiya, the famed Toad Sage of the Densetsu no Sannin (Legendary Three Ninja), a former student of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage (Third Hokage), Shinobi no Kami (God of Ninja) and the Professor. Jiraiya is also the author of the popular adult fiction book series called Icha Icha and is a self-proclaimed super-pervert.

"I still don't see how such a degrading story is so popular." Tsunade sighed out.

"You just don't get literature Tsunade, my fans are spread out on a global scale and thus the need for a escape from reality is a must." Jiraiya defended himself.

"And indulging in secondhand porn is an escape?" Orochimaru asked.

"It's not secondhand porn. Naruto himself helped me get four of them out when I had run out of idea's." Jiraiya stated, "Besides, Icha-Icha Paradise Prophetic Priestess was all his." he stated.

"The one where the main character managed to save the pompous priestess that ended up asking for a child was based off real experience?" Kakashi asked.

"Duh. How else do you think it sold out when I first published it?" the Super Pervert asked grinning.

"THAT LITTLE PERVERT!" Sakura yelled out as she connected the dots.

"Huh, what are you talking about Sakura?" Ino asked.

"He slept with Shion, the priestess from Oni no Kuni. He actually did it." she muttered in surprise.

"Damn, boy's got game." Kiba laughed out.

"Hmph, and I though Icha-Icha Sexy Assistant was the best seller of the series." Kakashi uttered.

"No no no no, you must be talking about Icha-Icha Royal Flush Limited Edition." Jiraiya said.

The man walking next to him was roughly five foot eleven and looked to be in his early to mid-twenties. He wore the standard Konoha ninja uniform, a green flak jacket appropriate for his rank along with a short-sleeved and high-collared white coat with red flames adorning the edges that reached just past his knees. He had bright blue eyes and spiky blond hair with bangs that stretched down to chin-length and surrounded both sides of his face. He was considered quite handsome by the female populace of his native village and even beyond that, to the point that some instances of infatuation came from his physical appearance alone.

"Huh, they never tried anything when I was around." Kushina said grinning proudly.

"Gosh I wonder why." Hiruzen muttered.

"You say something old man?" she asked the Third Hokage.

"Nope, not a damn thing."

This man was Namikaze Minato, the famed Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō (Konoha's Yellow Flash), Yondaime Hokage (Fourth Fire Shadow), and former student of Jiraiya.

The two famous shinobi were on their way back to Konoha after successfully negotiating and signing an alliance with Sunagakure no Sato (Village Hidden in the Sand) and its leader the Yondaime Kazekage (Fourth Wind Shadow).

Normally, it would be considered strange for a Kage of any village to be travelling in such a small party since, whenever it was suitable, he would be accompanied by at least a squad of ANBU or other shinobi of jōnin level.

However, this obviously wasn't just any normal travelling duo.

With both being Kage level shinobi, the thought of even planning to attack them when they were together would be seen as complete lunacy by a majority of the strongest fighters out there in the Elemental Nations. They were both considered among the strongest in their own respective generations, maybe even the strongest depending on who was asked, and would only be stronger as a cohesive unit made up by a longtime teacher and student.

"You know, now that I think about it, did you two ever get that settled?" Hiruzen asked looking to his student.

"Unfortunately no, Minato died just before we could." Jiraiya said.

"ANd then you died several years after." Minato pointed out.

"Something like that." Jiraiya admitted.

In short, a protective detail was virtually unnecessary since an attack on the two was practically suicide.

"Well, Minato, at least we made it to Tanzaku Gai. Guess we won't have to sleep out on the forest floor tonight," Jiraiya spoke jokingly with a smile and a slight nudge to his pupil's side.

Minato let out a small chuckle. "I suppose you're right," he replied before looking a little wistful. "And even with the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to travel faster, I'd rather take a little time to relax and stay away from the paperwork back home. Celebrating a new alliance by checking into a nice hotel and going to a bar in the town sounds like a perfect excuse, doesn't it?" The blond nudged back good-naturedly.

"Now you're talking!" the Toad Sage exclaimed in enthusiasm. Sake sounded perfect at the moment. "Hell, we might even get you lucky tonight," he said cheekily as he smacked Minato on the back, making the blonde slightly buckle in his steps.

"Uh, Jiraiya, you better not be plotting anything." Kushina said warning the Toad Sage.

"Trust me, him cheating on you right now is most likely the last thing even I want." responded the man.

Soon enough the two shinobi found an adequate hotel and booked a room immediately after entering the decently sized gambling village. It wasn't that much longer after that that they went to the best bar near their hotel and unexpectedly met up with a familiar face enjoying her own free time.

The person they found in the bar was a woman with blond hair, of which was tied into a long ponytail that reached down to her lower hip with chin-length strands framing both sides of her face, a diamond shaped mark imprinted on her forehead and striking brown eyes. If she were standing she'd be about five foot four with a frame that was covered by a green haori with a kanji for 'gamble' on it. Underneath her robe was a sleeveless grey kimono shirt along a dark obi around her waist and matching her short pants. However, her most prominent features were her extremely sizable breasts (which were about one hundred and six centimeters according to Jiraiya's keen intellect). She's what most individuals would consider extremely attractive.

"Oh boy, I think I know where this is heading." Jiraiya winced.

Lucky little bastard.

Tsunade shook her head, "Not in a million years ya perv."

The Toad Sage's eyes lit up in pleased recognition. "Hime! My, it's been awhile! I didn't expect to see you here tonight!"

The woman that Jiraiya called out to was none other than Senju Tsunade, the Slug Princess and only female member of the Densetsu no Sannin. Along with being the last living member of the Senju Clan she was also the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, the Shodai Hokage (First Hokage) and grandniece of Senju Tobirama, the Nidaime Hokage (Second Hokage). With her aforementioned role in the Densetsu no Sannin, having the Sandaime Hokage as a teacher along with Jiraiya went without saying. Besides those bigger facts about herself, she was also credited by most as being the most beautiful woman in the world, which was of no surprise to those who have gazed upon her. It was also thanks to her efforts in healing and curing poisons that Konoha was even able to win the Second Great Shinobi World War, earning her the title of being the greatest Iryo-nin (Medical-nin) in the Elemental Nations.

"Very impressive Tsuna." Hashirama praised her.

"Thank you, Grandfather." she said smiling.

When Tsunade turned to see who called to her the woman expected to see a debt collector. However, she was instead greeted to the sight of her old teammate Jiraiya and his former student and current Hokage, Namikaze Minato.

"Jiraiya, Minato! What are you two doing here?" asked Tsunade as she set down her saucer of sake and turned around on her bar-stool.

"Minato and I just arrived in town just a little while ago. We just trekked through Kawa from Suna after negotiating an alliance between Suna and Konoha." replied Jiraiya with an almost hidden smile.

The famed medic noticed the corner of his mouth twitch upwards. "So I take it that the discussions went well since you're here? Celebrating, maybe?" queried the Slug Princess.

"Yeah, they ended fine, great, actually. Although the whole process was tough thanks to the Yondaime Kazekage. He kept on trying to make the alliance favor Suna more instead of making it equal to both villages. It also didn't help that he made several snide remarks about Konoha being too soft and weak," replied Minato with a frown.

He didn't like the Yondaime Kazekage much. He often found him to be a rather cold and uncaring individual, especially with the way he ignored or passed off his pregnant wife, three-year-old daughter and two-year-old son as if they meant little to him.

"Yeah, just gonna point this out, nobody liked my dad." Temari stated.

"He was rather cumbersome." Kankuro sighed.

"No, you just want to be polite when in actuality you want to call him a stuck up prick with a egotistical philosophy that got him killed cuz he couldn't see the bigger picture." Gaara said.

"You know, I think that's the most you ever said in a single sentence." Kiba said smirking.

"It is." the Kazekage stated.

"Is that a milestone for you, or is it just something else?" the Inuzuka asked.

"Kiba, shut up, you are taking away the pleasure of hearing the story." Gaara told him.

It was at this point that Minato finally noticed the young teenage girl who was quietly sitting next to Tsunade. The girl in question looked to be about fifteen and was holding a little piglet in her arms. Her name was Shizune, Tsunade's apprentice and the niece of the female Senju's late lover, Katō Dan, a renowned Shinobi of Konoha.

When Minato saw her, he greeted the raven-haired adolescent kindly, causing a slight red tint to appear on her cheeks. Quickly trying to shake it off, she then bowed and greeted him respectfully by referring to him as 'Hokage-sama.' Minato merely brushed off the official reception and told her to call him Minato, not by his title since they weren't currently in Konoha and he wasn't in the mood to be too business-like. This only caused Shizune to blush deeper at being able to call probably the strongest shinobi alive in such a familiar way.

"You really had it bad for Minato back in the day." Tsunade snickered.

"T-Tsunade-sama!" Shizune cried out.

"Aww, are you embarrassed I spilled one of your secrets?" Tsunade smirked.

"No, just annoyed you would. Still, I think I should tell Naruto that you got so drunk one time you nearly went to his house to sleep with him after the war." her original student whispered to her.

Tsunade froze before looking at her, "You wouldn't dare." she dared her apprentice.

"Oh I would." Shizune responded.

The two males then went to sit down next to their new company with Minato sitting in-between both of the older shinobi. Once both were secured on their own bar stools Tsunade continued the conversation.

"So, who's looking after the village while you're away? Please tell me you didn't leave the village in the care of those old fossils Koharu, Homura, Danzō or anyone else on the council?" she asked. She never did like those three power hungry old farts, what with them acting like they knew better than everyone else no matter the situation, and would often try to usurp the authority of others, especially the Hokage's if they didn't agree with his decision. While they couldn't officially do anything, they could definitely bring on the guilt and play on people's emotions to get the rest of the council to change their minds.

Danzō was reputably exceptional at doing so.

"Nah, we left sensei in charge until we get back," said the white-haired male.

Tsunade nodded absently while twirling her saucer. "So, Minato how is life being Hokage?" she asked before taking a savory sip of her sake.

The younger blond clicked his tongue in an exasperated fashion. "Hard! Especially with all the paperwork I have to do and all the meetings I have to attend with the council. It doesn't leave me any time for a social life either. And don't get me started on the paperwork. It's like it doesn't ever end." replied Minato as he took a sip of his own freshly ordered alcohol.

Each of the Kage groaned at the mere mention of their worst enemy, "That ain't a lie. For every paper I singed, a hundred more would appear." Hashirama whimpered.

"I even tried to have my shadow clones do them, and they simply dispelled before I could even tell them what they were gonna do." Hiruzen said upset.

"Not even my interns would do it, even when I offered raises in their payments." the old Tsuchikage said with tears running down his cheek.

"I thought I broke my wrist on the first day as Mizukage." Mei shivered in horror.

"I tried to bury it in sand, but it would just come back like a unstoppable force of nature." Gaara said with a distant look of fear in his eyes.

"IT'S THE BANE OF ALL KAGES!" the group cried out loudly.

It seems that the only true way to beat a Kage outside of battle was to merely mention their paperwork.

"What about that cute little redhead Anbu girl from Uzushiogakure (Village Hidden by Whirling Tides) you were seeing? Kushina, wasn't that her name?" Jiraiya inquired with his chin being held by a calloused hand.

"It kind of didn't work out. I wanted to start a family with her, but two years ago she told me that she wanted to focus more on her career rather than having a relationship," Minato answered with a heavy sigh.

"Sorry to hear that, brat," Jiraiya said regretfully. He personally thought they were doing well, but sometimes it just wasn't meant to be.

Minato only brushed Jiraiya off, saying that it was okay and that he was over her anyway at this point.

"So…" drawled a now slightly tipsy Tsunade, "I guess that means that you're back on the market for all those eligible ladies out there who want to be the next Mrs. Namikaze," she finished with a smirk.

"I guess you could say that, and would you be among those ladies Tsunade-hime?" asked Minato with a small and playful smirk as he took another sip of sake.

"Oh shit." Tsunade muttered.

She did not like where this was going.

"Tell me this isn't the world's greatest I told you so?" Jiraiya laughed at his teammate.

"Ha! You wish, brat," laughed Tsunade as she took another large sip of sake from her saucer before refilling it.

Over the next four hours the three talked about all kinds of various topics, switching back and forth from what came to mind in relation to Konoha and just about anything about the world in general. Not much of what was discussed would be remembered due to everyone's mental state being affected by the continuous alcohol intake, but they were enjoying themselves nonetheless.

Of course, the young medical apprentice wasn't one to dabble in such activities for very long, mostly because it wasn't her thing and somebody had to be the rational and coherent one between her and sensei. That's why Shizune had left two and a half hours prior to take care of the piglet at her own shared hotel room before turning in for the night. As she left the bar's doors she could only hope that the three would behave themselves since sticky situations weren't afraid to rear their ugly heads into the lives of eccentric shinobi, especially of those where alcohol was involved.

"Yeah, just don't use any jutsu in the bar. One Calamity bar is more than enough." Tsunade said.

"Oh so you guys have one too?" Ai asked her.

"Oh wow, you guys have a bar that's destroyed at least 5 times each year also?" Onoki asked.

"I thought it was just in Kiri." Mei said.

"That's a surprise, our's happens nearly every other month." Gaara stated.

Let it not be said that ninja, alcohol and other ninja mixed well when they got drunk out of their minds. Sometimes it worked out, other times...

Not so much.

Just past the four hour mark Jiraiya had passed out drunk on the bar counter with drool leaking carelessly from the corner of his mouth. Tsunade and Minato continued to talk with one another, however, and easily ignored the snoring and drooling Toad Sage. As they talked they continued to down more sake, becoming so intoxicated that the two Kage level shinobi began to flirt with one another.

"Y'know, T-Tsunade, I had the…biggest crush on you when…I was a genin," Minato slurred, wobbling a bit even in a seated position.

"Oh, how cute. Crushing on your master's teammate. I'm so proud of you Mi-SMASH

"I'm not saying I did. But, you were pretty sexy even when I was a kid. Just saying." Minato said holding his hands up.

"Hmph, whatever." the busty blonde said.

"At least you didn't say anything that'd earn you a ticket to loose tooth city." Kushina said.

"Yeah, me too." the Yondaime said.

Tsunade snickered slightly with an immediate hiccup following. "Well, I'm honored, Minato-kun." Tsunade replied in the same fashion.

The two continued to flirt back and forth like this until Tsunade suddenly said, "Maybe we can have our own little party…back at my room…to celebrate Konoha's new alliance with Suna," giggled a fully inebriated Tsunade like a little school girl.

"Lead the way, hime," said the equally intoxicated Hokage.

"No... No..." Tsunade said shaking her head at what she heard.

"So... does this mean I'm a great grandpa?" Hashirama asked hopefully.

"I guess it depends. To be honest I never took you for a cougar slug princess." Onoki said.

Soon enough, the two drunken shinobi staggered away from the bar, leaving the passed out Jiraiya to his lonesome as he let out a few lecherous giggles from an apparent dream he was having. He would later be promptly thrown out on the street soon after they left when the bartender decided to close up.

The two blonds reached Tsunade's room at the same hotel where Minato and Jiraiya were staying at and entered the room. The instant the door was closed they quickly and drunkenly began removing each other's clothing and proceeded to 'examine' one another in a disorderly yet heated passion.

For most of the night moans, grunts and giggling could be heard coming from Tsunade's room, sounds that didn't quell until very late into the night.

"I just want you to know, this never happened." Minato said looking to his very upset wife.

"I know, but I can't help but be annoyed it did happen, story version of you or not." she growled.

"Does this mean I'm off the hook?" he asked.

"Not by a long shot." the redhead said.

-Next morning in Tsunade's room-

Late the next morning, Tsunade slowly woke up with a groan due to the massive hangover that she was currently feeling and the light blaring from the sun in her eyes, prompting her to turn over on the bed and face away from the window.

"Oooooh…my head…that's the last time I celebrate with Jiraiya and Minato like that," thought the weary Tsunade.

After a little stretching and trying to blink away any mental and physical blurriness she froze and came to a stark realization.

She was naked.

Then she heard a groan next to her.

Ever so slowly she turned her head to the space on the bed to her right. Trepidation quickly filled her gut more and more with every fraction of a second that went by in the process until her brown eyes gazed at the bare back of a man with spiky blond hair.

"This ought to be good." Kiba snickered.

"You want to be stuck on babysitting duty for life?" Tsunade asked him.

"N-No ma'am, sorry for opening my big mouth Hokage-sama." the young man said.

The reaction was instantaneous.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Tsunade as she jumped out of the bed and pulled the bed covers with her to cover her modesty. As soon as she pulled the blanket, the man next to her jerked over the side and fell off the bed, crashing onto the floor and causing him to groan again, this time in even more pain than his own previous and quickly interrupted hazy awakening.

After a quick moment or so the mystery man slowly sat up from the other side of the bed, holding his head from the painful hangover he was sporting and from the large bump that was forming on his head after hitting the unforgiving bedroom floor.

It was as the man's head peeked over the mattress that Tsunade realized who the man was.

"Minato?!" Tsunade shouted.

Minato cringed at Tsunade's loud voice, easily increasing the throbbing pain in his head. It was when he gained his bearings and looked at Tsunade's shocked face that a confused look swept across his visage.

"Tsunade, what are you doing here in my room?" he bluntly asked.

"Uh, you really need to look in the mirror if the fact waking up naked in the bedroom with a guy doesn't say anything Sensei." Kushina said.

"Ok, first off. I was waking up and had a hangover. Second, do you really think I'm willing to admit I brought the man to my room and have sex?" Tsunade asked the woman.

"No, but you still need to take responsibility for your own actions."

"Your room?! This is my room, you idiot! I should be the one asking that, not you! Not to mention why are you naked in my bed?!" exclaimed Tsunade and she pointed at him angrily with a shaking finger.

"Huh?" sounded Minato as he looked down at himself and saw that he was indeed naked as a jaybird. Upon realizing this the young man's face turned bright red before he quickly grabbed a nearby pillow to hastily cover 'little Minato.'

"W-what happened last night? The last thing I can remember is the two of us drinking and talking while sensei was passed out!" Minato groaned as he held his head from the lingering pain.

"The last thing I remember was…" Tsunade drawled as she tried to remember what had exactly happened. When the memory hit her their activities came back in a series of fast flashbacks, making the female Sannin suddenly turn bright red in embarrassment just like her fellow blond.

"See, blondes do have more fun." Jiraiya snickered.

"Ok, that was a good one I'll give you that one." Hashirama snickered.

"GRANDFATHER!" a mortified Tsunade cried.

"Huh, what?" Hashirama asked.

"Uh, brother... never mind." Tobirama sighed.

Weirdly enough, as Minato watched Tsunade's face turning various shades of red, he too began to remember what they did last night, causing him to blush even brighter than before if that was even impossible

Quickly enough, an angry Tsunade focused all of her attention at Minato and pointed accusingly at him.

"You damn bastard! You took advantage of me when I was too drunk to think straight!"

Minato broke out of his momentary embarrassment. "Me?! I wasn't the one who was flirting like a hormonal fangirl at the bar! You were the one who started it all!" Minato retorted defensively.

"Don't you dare try and blame me! You admitted it yourself that you had a thing for me since your genin days last night! That's why you decided to take advantage of me when I was vulnerable!"

"Hey now, I wasn't the one who invited me into your room! It was all your idea to come here, so if there was anyone who was taken advantage of, it was me! You had your way with me like some doctor and patient role-play in the bed sheets against my will!"

"That's a lie." every single male there said except Minato.

"Yeah, you sleep with the sexiest woman in the world and you say she forced herself on you. You are no man, but a shrimp." Ai said.

"Uh, no, I rather have my wife." Minato said.

For the next ten minutes the two continued to try and place the blame on one another, but eventually they reluctantly agreed that it was both of their faults. It wasn't long at all that they then hurriedly got dressed and decided that they would keep what happened a secret between the two of them, especially from a certain super pervert they both knew. If Jiraiya ever found out he would never let either of them live it down and would most likely become another installment in his next book.

"That, is also very true." Jiraiya said pointedly, "Speaking of, may I?" he asked Minato.

"Uh, Sensei." Minato said nervously.

"Yeah, what is it Minato?" the old perv asked.

"You might want to look behind you." the blond said nervously.

"Huh?" the toad sage said turning around only to feel his soul leave his body at the sight of a angry Kushina and very pissed off Tsunade Senju, "Oh shit.

Needless to say, the gallant Jiraiya would never know what it would be like to sire children ever. He did, however, become very intimate with the term pain thanks to these events and happenings.

After a few minutes, Minato quickly left Tsunade's room and decided to head back to his own on a lower floor, hoping that Jiraiya hadn't woken up yet. That is, if his sensei made it back.

Just as he was about to open the door an all too familiar voice cried out to him.

"Hey, Minato!"

When Minato turned around he saw his sensei coming towards him from the stairs leading to the ground floor of the hotel.

Jiraiya continued. "Glad to see that you're up! I figured you'd still be sleeping like a stone from all the fun last night. You were about to come look for me, weren't you?" Jiraiya asked as he came up to the blond.

"Uh…yeah! That's right, sensei," Minato let out nervously while secretly and immensely glad that Jiraiya apparently didn't make it back to see that he was absent from their shared room.

"Not really, but in this case I guess a little lie didn't hurt anybody." Kushina said.

"It hurt me." Jiraiya moaned from his beaten form on the ground.

"That's because you tried to get all pervy over something I possibly did." Tsunade growled.

The Toad Sage's face then gained a skeptical and semi-serious impression. "It seems that I was left passed out in the bar by myself. I was even thrown out on the street where I just so happened to wake up a little bit ago," Jiraiya narrowed his eyes at the young Hokage, "so why didn't you bring me back to our room last night?"

"Well…uh…you see…the thing was…um..." stuttered out a nervous Minato as he tried to come up with a believable excuse, and failing quite miserably at that if his facial expression alone was anything to go by.

It was at this time that Jiraiya detected a certain scent coming from the young man's person.

"Minato, what's that smell coming from you?" Jiraiya closed in uncomfortably close and began to sniff his clothes. "Is that perfume?" He asked curiously.

"Oh shit." Tsunade and Minato said together.

"Hmph, never underestimate a Super Perverts nose." Jiraiya grinned as he got back on his feet.

"I don't know whether to be impressed or horrified." Kushina said in honest truth.

"I think it's a little bit of both." Kakashi said.

Minato began to get even more nervous as he silently cursed himself for not showering. It was extremely easy to deduce that he must've gotten some of Tsunade's perfume on his clothing when they were becoming 'familiar' with each other. He knew that if his sensei recognized the smell he would quickly understand what happened last night, something that Minato was confident would end his time among the land of the living.

To only affirm Minato's growing fears, a knowing and very perverted smirk appeared on the Toad Sage's face.

"Listen, sensei, I can explain..." began Minato as he tried to dig up anything from his reliable intellect to get him out of this situation.

"What's there to explain?!" Jiraiya exclaimed with a surprising amount of gusto. "You got lucky with some hot young lady from the bar last night, didn't you, brat?" he asked with his smirk growing in confidence.

"Huh?" was Minato's intelligent response, not expecting this sort of response from the older man.

Well, maybe in hindsight it shouldn't be all too surprising.

"Come on, Minato, I can smell the perfume coming off your clothes! There's no need to hide your manly triumph! If you had just told me that from the start, I would have understood. So who is she? Was it that smoking hot barmaid that winked at you last night when she served us our drinks? Or was it one of those sexy young ladies at the nearby table who were eyeing you? Come on, you can tell me!" probed the massively grinning Jiraiya as he nudged his elbow into Minato's side proudly, wanting to hear all the details for his next book.

"Uh, yeah, you're right, sensei! I guess I can't hide anything from you." Minato responded after a moment before letting out a silent yet huge sigh of relief. Jiraiya was getting a little too close for comfort there.

"So are you going to tell me all about how it was or who you were with?" Jiraiya continued to nudge Minato even more, hoping to get as much details as possible and grinning like the pervert he proudly was.

Deciding to change the subject quickly, Minato acted fast. "Maybe later, sensei. How about we get going? If we leave now, we can reach Konoha before nightfall."

"Oh if only I had thought a little deeper." Jiraiya snapped his fingers.

"I'm just glad you didn't." the blonde Sannin stated.

"Same here." Kushina said.

Minato took the initiative by heading towards the stairs where Jiraiya thankfully followed. As they walked down the steps Jiraiya, in his full-fledged super pervert mode, followed closely behind him trying to get any juicy information.

"Come on, brat! You gotta give me something! Is she a blond, a brunette, maybe even another redhead? Is she a moaner or a screamer? At least tell me if I know her! Come on, at least give me that!" Jiraiya pleaded.

Minato just ignored his sensei's wishes, all the while thinking, "If only you knew, sensei. If only you knew…"

"Pssh, I do now." Jiraiya smirked, "Naughty Nurse edition 2 maybe?" he asked himself.

"Don't even think about it Jiraiya-sama." Shizune said.

"Oh come on." the perv said.

-One months later-

Tsunade was lying down on a bed in a hotel that she and Shizune have been staying at for a while, with the latter using medical ninjutsu to run a medical scan on her master. The medical apprentice's hand was resting above Tsunade's navel and sending sends small pulses of chakra to examine any irregularities. She was doing this not only because her abilities were critically need right now, but also because she was the only one that Tsunade trusted without question.

After Shizune finished her scan on Tsunade, she confirmed what Tsunade believed when she realized that she missed her period…

She was pregnant.

"Hah, in your face Tobirama, I'm a great Grandfather!" Hashirama exclaimed happily.

"Alright, alright you made your point." Tobirama smirked back at his brother.

Tsunade bolted up from her laying position and quickly started to put on her clothes back on.

"When I find that bastard, I'm going to kill him, revive him and then kill him again!" Tsunade angrily raged in her mind, her face obviously conveying the roaring emotions without even trying to hide them, "Shizune, get ready to leave. We're heading for Konoha," Tsunade ordered heatedly.

This of course shocked her apprentice, but it wasn't due to her master speaking in such a way at her. It was because she had said that they were going to Konoha, the very place Tsunade swore she would never step foot in again.

"B-b-b-b-but w-w-w-why, sensei?" stammered a shocked Shizune as she hurriedly tried to get her things in order.

"Because I'm going to kill the father of my child for knocking me up!" Tsunade replied angrily while finally storming out of the room for her sporadic homecoming.

"I ain't gonna lie Minato, it was nice knowing you." Jiraiya said.

"Gee thanks Sensei." Minato said dryly.

"And that concludes the first chapter." Kakashi said closing the book, "Is there anyone that wishes to read next?" he asked.

And that concludes chapter 1 of Reading Hope of the Senju Clan.

The news I spoke of earlier is this. The day when I finish the list of stories I have compiled previously on Reading Naruto: The Inheritor as well as the set of stories I have asked for at the end of that chapter and any of my original stories I have published personally, I am announcing my retirement as a FanFiction Author. I know it's a shock, but I think it is necessary that I put down my pen and start to kick back a bit. However, I am going to say this. For those that have been reading/following/supporting me these past several years I thank you for all of the wonderful thoughts and Idea's you have gotten out into the site and stories made real.

And since I am retiring upon completing these stories, I leave any stories/idea's in my story collection (Adventreader221's Story Collection) to the people of FanFiction to have and take for themselves to do as they wish. I will remain on site to help anyone that needs help getting any of their idea's and stories off the ground, and I am willing to help give my own thoughts and opinions to anyone that needs them. I am glad to have been able to have shared this experience with everyone, but for now this is not a Goodbye, but more along the lines of I need to take a break until I get ready to come back.

However, seeing as I am not even close to halfway done writing this list of stories out the fact remains that I can't retire just yet.

I repeat UNTIL I FINISH THIS LIST I AM NOT RETIRING!~!~
