Tsunade sat quietly in her designated spot, reading some of Jiraya’s old filth. It was really all she could do, considering she was only acting as bait. Any paperwork she’d try to get done would end up incinerated and she couldn’t afford that. Not when Naruto was positive his plan would work. She was alone, that was for sure. She’d sent Shizune with the rest of the refugees to the Forest of Death, knowing they would need medics by the time this was over. This was a war, after all.
Tsunade was on her feet in a flash, watching the sky light up with Kyuubi’s fire. Agonized screams accompanied the conflagration, but Tsunade knew none of those screams came from her shinobi. Kyuubi, she knew, would never hurt anyone who belonged to Naruto. She watched the flames encircle the perimeter just like that day two years ago, protecting what was within from what was without.
Tsunade whirled around, fist leading. It was caught, however, and Madara pinned the woman with a decidedly deadly stare.
“What are you doing here?” Tsunade hissed, jerking her fist back from Madara’s grip.
“I think I’m going to die for the only man worthy of my life.” Madara snapped back.
Tsunade blinked. “You’re going to die for Naruto?”
Madara snorted. “I’m dying anyway. Might as well make the most of it.”
“He doesn’t know you’re here, does he?”
“I’d imagine he has an idea. He won’t stop me, though, considering what I’ve done.”
Tsunade’s lips thinned but she nodded. “You really think Sasuke will get through?”
“I guarantee it,” Madara replied, easing himself onto the stone ground. “Naruto will let him through, and when he arrives here, he’ll be destroyed.”
Tsunade didn’t know if she sat down from shock a the fact Naruto was deliberately using her life as a pawn of the fact that Naruto hadn’t told her she was being used as a pawn.
“Relax, woman,” Madara snarled. “He won’t let you die.”
Tsunade slashed a glare at the Uchiha. He gave her a mild look in return and then turned that Sharingan gaze to the sky. A moment later his smirk became deadly. Tsunade turned slightly, seeing the signal flare begin to dissipate. She felt all of the shinobi of Konoha and Suna gather their wounded and retreat from the village, just as she felt him approach. Tsunade got to her feet, ready to fight, watching with apprehension as Sasuke approached.
He was bruised and bloody but hardly broken, and he was focused entirely on her. Tsunade felt a hand on her shoulder and watched Madara move forward to confront his descendant.
“I knew I smelled a rat,” Sasuke hissed, hand falling to his side as lightning crackled around his arm.
Madara simply shrugged. “The moment I die, Sasuke, is the moment you die, too.”
Sasuke laughed and bolted forward, the Chidori slamming into Madara’s chest. The elder Uchiha hadn’t even blinked, hadn’t flinched, just had taken the hit. It took Tsunade two minutes to realize the trap. Sasuke realized it far too late. Madara laughed, a cold, cruel sound as his jutsu activated. Tsunade dropped to the ground as the black tendrils erupted form Madara’s body, seeking out their intended target. Sasuke yanked on his arm and just barely made it back a safe distance before a tendril found him and ended his life. Madara just continued to laugh and stare at Sasuke with blood red eyes as flesh melted and bone became ash. There was nothing left of Madara then, and Tsunade was vulnerable.
Sasuke seemed to realize this as well.
“So, Hokage-sama,” Sasuke snarled, approaching the woman step by agonizingly slow step, “it seems we’re alone at last.”
“Seems that way.” Tsunade replied, getting to her feet.
“Sad that I have to kill you.” Sasuke said as though he was inspecting his nails. Tsunade tried not to laugh too hard.
“I don’t think you’ll even get near me.” She said in a far more brave voice.
Sasuke simply canted his head, grinned, and vanished. Hands slid around Tsunade’s throat as Sasuke reappeared behind her, pressure building to cut off her air.
“Hey! Sasuke-teme! I’m going to take that sword and shove it up your ass!”
Both Sasuke and Tsunade looked up, and Sasuke reluctantly released the Hokage to avoid Naruto’s falling attack. Sand whipped in then, cutting off any escape, and creating a shield around Tsunade. She felt a hand close on her shoulder and looked up at Gaara – and the real Naruto.
“Go, Tsunade–baa-san,” Naruto whispered. “Gaara and I have it from here.”
The blonde woman blinked and saw Naruto henge into her – and saw a perfect clone of Naruto standing at the ready. Gaara helped her to her feet and gave Tsunade a gentle push.
“Go, Hokage-sama. Don’t let what we’re going to do be in vain.” Gaara whispered.
Tsunade didn’t bother to ask; she simply nodded at both shinobi and vanished. Gaara looked to Naruto and canted his head, eyes narrowing somewhat.
“Are you sure this will work?”
The Naruto-Tsunade shrugged. “We’ll see. Get clear.”
Gaara nodded and disappeared into the sand shield just as Sasuke broke through, blood red eyes centered on Naruto’s clone and Naruto-Tsunade. The crazed Uchiha bared his teeth and snarled. Naruto-Tsunade looked to the clone with a smile.
“Ready, Kyuubi?”
