"Welcome to Poem Card Quarter, Hina-hime. Wanted to take a look of the festival? We still have a lot of time for my Inauguration," Naruto said with a smile.

"Uhm, why not?" Hinata said and smile. Naruto and Hinata did enjoy the Festivals and take a lot of booths to the festival. They didn't even care about the money they spend since its extremely rare for them to enjoy something because of Trainings and mission.

They didn't even participate into the Kyubi Festival since it is Naruto's birthday at the same time, anniversary of his almost meeting death experience when he was five. Simple as they all hate it.

"Its near the sunset now, lets go?" Hinata nodded and went to trace Tsunade. Just for a while, they manage to track Tsunade. Naruto is right, Tsunade is in one of the gambling house. Naruto grin and transform into Kiroi. Hinata did the same and transform into Samara.

They enter the gambling house and Kiroi started to enter the game.

"Straight flush!" Tsunade grinningly said and almost swipe the money in the table but Kiroi creepily smile and tap Tsunade's hand.

"Its mine, Senju-san," and put the Royal Flush into the table. Tsunade cringe and stop her movement. Kiroi collected the monet creepily. The others actually shiver because of his creepiness.

"Next round!" Hours passed and a lot of them look suspicious to Kiroi. The just win the Poker 10 time straight. They tried to see if he is cheating but they can't see anything. On the other hand, Tsunade look shock as she remember a person who have an extremely luck too in gambling that obviously she didn't inherit, her grandfather.

"Two Pair!"

"I only have a high cards.

"Straight!"

"Hahaha! I have Flush,"

"How about full house?" Tsunade grin. Its her win now. She have three queen and two 10 cards.

"Four of a Kind," Kiroi smugly said. He laid the four Aces in the table which makes Tsunade irritated.

"You! You cheated! How come you win 11 times straight!" Tsunade angrily said.

"Maybe I am just that lucky?" Kiroi grin again which makes Tsunade reach the limit of her temper. She punch the tablr of poker without any enhanced chakra.

"I will kill you!" Kiroi just gracefully dodge every attack that Tsunade gave him. On the other hand, Samara just activate the restoration seal that she put to the table and restored everything. She took all the money and observe the battle.

"Lady Tsunade! Stop it!" Shizune said in panic.

"No I will destroy this bastard," Tsunade said and went outside. Kiroi did run into isolated part of the town and grin. Shizune and Samara followed.

"Lets put this battle into next level shall we?" Kiroi said. Tsunade glared to Kiroi and started to dash to him.

Both engage into intense battle of Taijutsu but what makes Tsunade more irritated is she was being beaten badly by Kiroi.

"Having a title of Legendary Sannin didn't live you up. It seems like you are just only the shell of your former prime, Senju-san," Kiroi said and smile creepily.

"What do you want?" Tsunade coldly ask.

"To take you back in Konoha willingly," Kiroi emphasize the word willingly.

"Then what? You will make me your damn Hokage? Tsk! Thats just an asshole dream! You can only makes me bring back to Konoha by force which will degrade your credibility. Just go back to your pussy Hokage which is my sensei, or useless Council and report to who ever gave you a mission that you failed," Tsunade taunted.

"Well, I was send here for reason, Senju-san," Kiroi creepily said. He couldn't believe how low Tsunade stood up.

"For someone who bores the name of the two Hokage, you are a disgrace. Do you think, your grandfather will be proud of what you've become? Don't you even remember that your Grandfather grows in the Warring State Era? Compare to your lost. How many do you think your grandfather lost before? You're weak," Kiroi taunted back. Tsunade's eyes become cold. Kiroi did hit the target.

"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune worriedly said.

"I am not weak!" Tsunade shouted and dash to Kiroi. She use her enhanced chakra punch to the battle but Kiroi just dodge it gracefully as if he was dancing.

"Then proved it. Prove to me that you are not weak," Kiroi said and smile devilishly.

--*--

Tsunade pant so much. Its been a lot of years since she train so her stamina become so low thru the years.

"Oh? The legendary Slug Sannin actually become so rusty? I didn't see this coming. You prove me something, you are really weak," Kiroi laugh creepily and look to the exhausted Tsunade who had a lot of bruised and wounds now. She already exhaust her seal and worn it out during their five hourse battle.

Its already dark and the full moon is their only light. Its already 4 in the morning.

"You're weak because you run to your problems. You're weak because you let your emotio drives you. You're weak because you become so selfish by leaving your own responsibility. You're weak because you taunted the sacrifice of every Hokage including your Grand Uncle and Grandfather. You're weak because you let yourself becomes a shell. You're weak because you cannot continue to live and move one. You're because you've been become like this," Naruto let Tsunade feel every words he told her. This burst out Tsunade's tears. She felt a huge guilt and grief.

She silently cry and look to Kiroi.

"What do you know about pain of losing someone who was dear to you? What do you know about my grief? Just look at you, I bet you just happy in your life," Tsunade shouted emotionally.

"I am a perfect definition of Pain, Senju-san. Too perfect that even will not be able to live how I live my life," Kiroi transform into his original form. He look to Tsunade with all the pain he felt ever since.

Tsunade on the other hand felt so shock and immediately vomits a lot of her meal. She don't know why but just looking to Naruto's eyes, she felt so much pain. As if his eyes told her his story. Tsunade felt so guilty without knowing the reason why.
