Timeskip to the next morning
Itsuki (POV)
???- Hey it's time to wake up.
I come to and I find myself in a room with the morning sun peeking through my window. Sitting on the end of the bed I'm in is Tsunade who's looking at me.
Itsuki- Oh it's you. The hell do you want?
Tsunade- I'll be asking the questions here. Just who are and who taught you the Crimson Chidori?
Itsuki- I already know who I am and Gin taught me that Jutsu.
Tsunade- Last night, you gave me a fight that I never could've guessed would happen in a million years. You actually almost beat me. I will give you this, you're no ordinary Genin but you should just give up on the Jutsu while you can. Only Gin can use it.
Itsuki- Hah. Fat chance of that happening. I'll have this Jutsu down two days tops.
Tsunade- Oh really is that so? Well how about we bet on it. Just like Naruto, I'll give you till the end of the week. If you master it, I'll admit I was wrong and I'll give you my ring.

Tsunade- This ring was worn by my the first Hokage and is the only one of it's kind. However, if you lose, you have to admit I was right and you have to give up your dream of becoming the best ninja in the world.
Itsuki-.......You've got yourself a deal.
Tsunade- Good. Then I'll take my leave. I've healed all your injuries by the way.
She gets up and exits the room but right after, Shizune comes in.
Itsuki- Can I help you?
Shizune- Hello Itsuki. I'm sorry for the intrusion but I couldn't help but overhear you and Lady Tsunade's conversation and well, I really must talk to you now. It is of the upmost importance.
Itsuki- Ok but I need to start training first thing as soon as you're done.
Shizune- But that's just it. There's something you must know about the ring and her necklace. And about Lady Tsunade.
Itsuki- And why should I care? She's nothing more than an old cougar who's pain in the ass.
Shizune- Don't say that! She's not the type of person you think she is. What right if you-you don't know nothing about her! What gives you the right-
Itsuki- Because she through my entire clan's murder in my face! You weren't there six years ago walking into your home only to see your parents laid out in a pool of there own blood on the flow, your baby brother in his crib with a shuriken lodged in his head. Tsunade mocked all of that and then some. So I have every right to think the way I think about her.
Shizune- I-I apologize. Please forgive me. But you see, Lady this wasn't always like this. She used to be so kind and dedicated to the village but she changed when she lost the two of the most important people in her life. Her little brother Nawaki and her lover Dan. You mustn't wear the ring. Only on Tsunade is we're it's safe. Anyone else wears the ring or necklace, they die a horrible death.
She ends up telling me their stories. By the end, I'm a mix of shock and utter sadness, and also a sense of guilt.
Shizune- You see Itsuki? That was the day. The day she lost everything. It changed her. She's been in torment ever since. Naruto wouldn't listen to me and left to go train last night.
Without saying a word, I get out of bed, put my headband around my waist and open the window.
Shizune- Just where do you think you're going?
Itsuki- Naruto got a half a day advantage. I'm behind. I'm going to go train.
With that, I hop out the window to go train in an isolated spot.
Timeskip
Gin (POV)
It was night time and I just came from checking up on Itsuki when I ran into Jiraiya and I joined him as we went to the local Sake hut. We open the hut flap and see none other than Shizune and Tsunade.
Jiraiya- Fancy meeting you here.
Tsunade- (smiles) Hello again Gin. (Frowns seriously) The Hell do you want Jiraiya?
Jiraiya- Ok that's not fair. How come you're nice to him and not to me? Whatever, you know you're glad to see me.
Shizune- Master Jiraiya, Master Gin.
Gin- Hi Shizune. I'm sorry to interrupt but Jiraiya would like to know if you could leave the three of us alone for a little bit.
Shizune- I most certainly can.
She leaves and I take a seat on the far end of the bar table.
Jiraiya- Still can't believe you still have the necklace and ring after all this time. Figured you would've gambled it off a long time ago. Guess it's all you have to remember them by.
Tsunade-.....
Jiraiya- Are they on your mind?
Tsunade- Who?
Gin- Naruto and Itsuki of course. They've been nonstop training for the past couple days.
Tsunade- Not much.
Jiraiya- I don't know. Taking on young kids as your opponent. They'll never be able to master their Jutsu's in a week and you know it. It's not much of a bet.
Gin- Yeah, I heard the bet you made with Itsuki. I have faith in him. He's so close. But why the long face?
Tsunade- I don't have a long face.
Gin- Pssh ok. But in all seriousness, let's get down to business.
Jiraiya- When are you meeting Orochimaru again? We can see it in Shizune's face. I don't know what deal he may have offered you, but think very carefully before you accept it.
Gin- You have to remember the Hokage who have come before you and all they've done for the Leaf Village. It's thanks to them that the place I consider home has survived and gotten through troubled times. This was there dream and they gambled everything to achieve it. You betray that dream and you make they're sacrifices null a void. But you wouldn't do this. I know too much about you. If I didn't well, (serious look) this town wouldn't be standing right about now.
Tsunade- Ok I get it. Enough with the lecture both of you! Those damn kids. Why? Why did you have to bring them here?
Jiraiya- They're a lot alike him aren't they? They're around the same age too. Itsuki just turned Thirteen a couple weeks back.
Tsunade- It's not just that.
Tsunade *mind*- All three of them are more alike than you know.
Indigo: That's the end of this chapter. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. Later indigo fam. Peace.
