Hi, the sister of a friend of mine has drawn a picture for me. It's the cover picture of this story and shows Uzushiogakure's symbol with Dexter's mask in front of it. Her artist's name is Wölfin 1998 and I think the picture is great. Especially the eyes. And those who are already thinking “But the Rinne-Sharingan is red and not purple”, well fuck you. Red doesn't look as cool and it wouldn't harmony with the Uzushiogakure symbol. For the others, have fun with the chapter.

Tsunade's POV:
“And the blond lady wins again”, announced the dealer. This was the third time I won in a row.
Something is wrong. I never win, except before some catastrophes. The Kyuubi got free the last time I won a bet.
“Is this seat free?”, asked someone next to me and I looked at the speaker. It was a young girl, she didn't look older than 18, not taller than 1.5 metres, beautiful beyond most things I've ever seen. But her face made the most impact. It was perfect, she had white hair, almost glowing green, and big eyes and her ears were...pointed and long? I never heard of a bloodline that gives this kind of changes to the body. Are they fully functional?
“Miss?”, asked the girl again and I realize that she spoke with me.
“Ah, yes. Please sit down miss?”, I replied and fished for some information. Her chakra feels large enough to be Jonin. Maybe she's known.
“My name is Clair, and I assume I got luck on my side if I find the legendary Tsunade”, she replied and I gave her a standard smile. Many people know me and even more like to play with me because of that. Her name, however, didn't ring any bell. There is no Clair in the Bingo book and I also don't know her from any other source.
“We're playing blackjack, does Lady Clair know the rules?” Asked the dealer. He and every other man were already ogling her like a piece of meat.
“I do”, she said and put chips in worth of a few hundred thousand Ryō on the table.
We played a few rounds and my winning streak was killed by our new player. She always won. One game after the other, sometimes only barely and others at the very start. I continued to play until I no longer had any money left.
“Lady Tsunade, let us go”, asked Shizune worried. She stood beside me with Tonton in her arms.
“You're right”, I replied and stood up.
“It was nice to play with you”, said this Clair with a friendly smile and gave me her hand.
“Likewise”, I replied and took the outstretched hand. And then I felt something, something is wrong with her. It felt similar to my own Jutsu, yet stronger.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dex's POV;
I watched as Tsunade left and played one last game. I bet everything and, like every other game won. The dealer had to close the table and I strolled out. Already feeling the eyes on my back.
A quick turn at a crossing and I was pulled into a side alley.
“So who are you?”, asked my assailant, who was Tsunade.
“My, how nice to see you again”, I replied cheerfully and kept watch of the other nearing Chakra signatures.
“Don't play around, who are you really?”, she asked again.
“All at its time. First, we have to get rid of these wannabe rapists”, I said. She frowned, while I turned around. Exactly at the very moment in which four thugs walked around the same corner.
“Heh told ya she's this way”, said one of them and pulled a small knife out.
“And she's in the company of two more babes”, said another.
“Urgh, really? You lured these idiots with you?”, asked Tsunade while face palming.
“So ladies, we can have it in two way....”, began the third, but they were all already knocked out from Shizune's poisoned needles. She then looked at me with an awkward gaze, as if she didn't know what to do.
“Well, that was anticlimactic”, I said dryly and nudged one of the downed men with my foot.
“Now speak, or we will bind you and leave you in front of them when they wake up”, said Tsunade seriously.
“You would do such a thing to a fellow woman?”, I asked in a shocked tone.
“I'm not sure about the fellow woman part, not when you're under a Genjutsu or Henge”, was her reply.
“But I have to admit, your act is good”, she added.
“I know, had enough time to learn”, was my reply and Shizune stepped from one foot on the other. She surely didn't like this situation.
“Speak!”, demanded Tsunade and then waved her fist at me;” Or you will see why I'm called legendary”, she added threateningly.
“Well, I'm here because I need a surgery”, I said.
“I already said that I won't treat anyone anymore”, she replied.
“Not even for family”, I asked and her gaze hardened.
“My family is dead, don't speak as if you are a part of them”, she replied coldly.
“Oh, but I am family. To be exact, I'm your great or great, great nephew. And I mean direct descendant”, I explained with a grin and used a second Henge to switch from Clair to Naruto in old.
“I have no nephew who is as old as you. And there isn't a Senju left who could sire children”, she answered and studied me.
“Well, what about your grandmother's side?”, I asked.
“So you are an Uzumaki? I thought they all died”, said Tsunade in thoughts.
“I could tell you more about the Uzushiogakure massacre and my real heritage, but both are at least S-Rank secrets. I mean, you should have taken care of me as I was younger”, I mused.
“S-Rank?”, asked Shizune shocked. She really seems like a woman without a backbone. Tsunade did a good job at keeping her self-esteem as little as possible. The poor woman has not enough contact to normal people.
“Let's talk somewhere else. Say in your hotel?”, I asked.
“Yes, but any perverted moves and you will feel like the Pervert”, she replied.
“Oh, don't worry about that, I'm not really able to do such things”, I answered vaguely and she raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.
We walked inside a normal motel and inside her room, where she then sat down on a chair. Shizune chooses to stand beside her, like always.
“Well? Speak”, said Tsunade.
“A moment please”, I said and concentrated my Chakra. Shizune was already moving, but Tsunade stopped her.
“[Dimension of the Silent Whisper]”, I shouted and slammed my hands on the floor. The whole room glowed in a blue light and seal markings were stretching from my hands to each corner. The room then went utterly silent, no sound from outside was audible.
“That was an extremely high ranked silencing seal”, stated Tsunade.
“Yeah, no one is allowed to know of this talk. Now what do you know about Uzushiogakure, Kushina, and her child”, I asked and she flinched at every topic.
“One thing, all dead”, she said with no small amount of pain in her eyes. I waved a finger in front of her and simply said;”Wrong”.
“Okay, there might be a few survivors of Uzushiogakure, but the rest is dead. Killed by the Kyuubi”, she corrected.
“And again wrong. It might be true, that Kushina is dead, but her son still lives”, was my reply and she bolted up. Rushed at me and grabbed me by the collar.
I might have been able to evade, but that would have only been contra productive.
“Don't dare to tell such lies in front of me. Her child is dead”, she spat venomously.
“Oh, I'm 100% sure that he's alive”, I said with a grin, not the least minding her killing intent. I trained under Kura-chan's killing intent. We did it so that I won't be affected. And whose killing intent is stronger than that of hers?
“Prove it or I'll rip your head off”, she threatened.
“Sure”, I said and took a memory seal out of my pocket. “This is a seal and will show him at his third birthday”, I further explained and she snatched it out of my hands, before activating it right after.
Her eyes went wide and then broke down into a mess of tears and cries of sorrow. Shizune was instantly at her side and glared at me.
“What did you do to her?”, she demanded to know and flared her own meagre killing intent.
“I have done nothing. I said it will show her his third birthday and the seal did. Not my fault she didn't wait for my warning”, I explained and then had to evade a Chakra enhanced blow from Tsunade who looked a little bit pissed.
“How could you do such a thing to a child”, she questioned and threw more punches at me. All of them didn't seem really fast. All the gambling and drinking must've slowed her down over the years.
“I could tell you, but you keep trying to hit me”, I replied during an evasion and she breathed out before glaring at me.
“Explain”, she simply said.
“It would be better to show you”, I said and released my Henge. Now in front of them was my six-year-old body. My hair was as long as Minato's, as I'm too bored to cut it. The hair and my eyes showed the parts of my father, while my slightly round face shows my connection to my mother.
“Don't fuck with me and drop the Henge!”, she shouted and continued to rush at me.
“And here I thought you will understand”, I muttered and tapped her shoulder. She knew that I was under a Henge, the moment I touched her, so she will also know that I'm not under one anymore. She froze and then used a speed buff or something similar unbelievable and squeezed me between her breasts in a suffocating hug. She also started to cry again.
Poor Shizune had to stand next to us and didn't know left from right. Her Master was questioning the man, woman?, then trying to hit him/her and now she's hugging a child while crying.
“I thought you are dead. Sensei said you died”, she whispered and hugged me harder.
“Mumpmf”, was my drowned reply, speaking between double D breasts is hard, especially if you are hugged to death. She reluctantly released me and looked directly into my eyes.
“You have the same face as her and his blue eyes. How is it possible for you being here? Those...those things they did, did they really?”, she then asked rapidly.
“Yes they did, daily and way more gruesome on my birthday. It's also the reason for me being here. I had to grow up fast and the Kyuubi helped a lot. As well as Shadow Clones”, I said and thought to Kura-chan;” Sorry, have to use you. It's more believable than my real story”.
“Don't mind it”, was Kura-chan's reply.
Tsunade flinched as I mentioned Kyuubi, for her it was a name that resembles pain.
“The Kyuubi? Does he speak to you?”, she asked slowly.
“Oh, she sure does. And it wasn't her fault, well not everything. But would you stay quiet and obedient after being imprisoned for almost a hundred years for no reason at all?
The Kyuubi was sealed by Mito after Madara's and Hashirama's fight. At that time it was also controlled by the Sharingan”, I explained and she looked as if I had told her that sake is healthy.
“She? Not her fault? Controlled by the Sharingan?”, she asked stunned.
“Yes to all”, I said with a grin.
“Ano? Can someone please explain to me what happened?”, asked Shizune meekly from the back. Both Tsunade and I turned around and Tsunade said;” This is Kushina's son, Sensei said that he died during the Kyuubi attack. He's the last straw that moved me to leave Konoha”.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Shizune only nodded and remained silent.
“So Clair, what was that about a surgery?”, she asked and eyed me.
“My real name is Naruto, but I go under the name Dexter. There are two Blood Clones, who are currently replacing Naruto and my Dexter personality, in Konoha.
And about my eyes, well I don't know how, but I got these after the death of my sole friend”, I said and activated my Mangekyou-Sharingan.
Tsunade gasped and Shizune's mouth flapped up and down, like a fish.
“The Sharingan? No, it looks different, I heard if it from Tobirama-Jiji. It's called the Mangekyou-Sharingan, he also explained how they come into existence. I'm sorry for your loss”, she said and hugged me again.
“So you're losing your sight because of it. I'm sad to say, but you'll need another set of eyes from closely related family”, she then said.
“I know, Kyuubi and I thought about using a Blood Clone”, I stated and she thought about it for a moment.
“A Blood Clone might work, but you do know the risks of Blood Clones, do you?”, she said and asked in a concerned tone.
“Risks? You mean Chakra exhaustion”, I replied.
“Not that, I mean the influence on your personality, once the clone dispels. Shadow Clones give you a memory flash that doesn't feel real but gives you the knowledge nonetheless. While Blood Clones give you the whole thing. You'll think you experienced the things your Blood Clone did. A lot of them can cause you schizophrenia. You'll lose the concept of yourself and the memories of each clone begin to affect your thoughts and actions.
Never use them too long, at most a month”, she said in a lecture-like tone.
“Oops”, I simply said and she glared at me.
“How many and how long?”, she simply asked.
“Three, I made one yesterday. One is over a year old and the last one was remade last week, after his usage of over a year. He had to inform me about something important”, I said quietly.
“°Sigh°, you have to kill them. A normal dispel will influence you, but a killed clone won't give you his memories, as they aren't able to send a Chakra feedback”, she said sternly.
“I can kill my Naruto clone, but not my Dexter clone. His memories are necessary for my future plans. I have to know what he did”, I tried to reason.
“If you have to, but keep in mind, that his time in this world will affect you. And you won't notice it yourself, as you'll think you've done it personally”, she said and shook her head at my recklessness.
She then stood up and studied me.
“Say, how strong are you anyway? You easily evaded my punch”, she questioned.
“Wasn't really hard, you've weakened yourself tremendously with your drinking and gambling. I don't know which Rank I am, as I don't have anyone to compare to. But my main focus did lay on evasion. I also don't have a real fighting style, only hit and run as fast as I can”, I explained and Tsunade gained a tick mark as I told her she was weak.
“Listen brat, I may be a little rusty, but I'm still a Sannin”, she said defiantly.
“Why are you proud of that title?”, I asked confused and she looked confused as well.
“Because the legendary Hanzo the Salamander gave it to us”, she said as if I asked her something stupid.
“Yes, after he beat you three in a three vs one. And he was still strong enough to tell you about your title and then leave, while other Konoha Ninja came for help. Isn't it normally shameful to get defeated and not even considered worthy enough to kill?”, I asked back and she looked stunned.
“I... shit you are right, he mocked us”, she said angrily and punched a wall. The wall was pulverised and poor Shizune flinched at the unnecessary violence.
“... Anyway, I'm still A+ rank overall. My speed may have dropped to B rank, so you can consider your speed B-Rank as well. What about Jutsu and other skills?”, she said as she regained her composure. She also took a bottle of sake out and began to drink.
“I created three original Jutsu, know the Rasengan and the finished Rasengan with an element and have finished Fuinjutsu up to the last chapter of the Uzumaki Fuinjutsu book. My Taijutsu is, as already said, none existent. My Kenjustu might be around Genin level and my Genjutsu is destructive on areas, but not on single targets. However, my Sharingan can help in that case. I also got a few Mangekyou-Sharingan techniques and am able to use Chakra chains up to twenty metres”, I listed and they both looked impressed.
“You are one strong child Dexter. How did you manage to learn all that?”, asked Shizune from the back.
“Shadow Clones, I'm able to create thousands without being winded. The rest was easy if you can get the amount of training of over 8000 hours done in only 8 real hours”, I further explained.
“The strains on your brain must be tremendous”, muttered Tsunade.
“They are, I constantly heal you. Without me you would have already been a potato”, commented Kura-chan matter of factly.
“REALLY?!”, I asked shocked and Tsunade and Shizune looked at me questioningly for my outburst.
“Ähm sorry, Kyu-chan said I would have been a potato without her. So I might as well decrease the Shadow Clone training, hehehe”, I said and rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment.
I suddenly stopped and then looked at my hand.
“What?”, asked Tsunade.
“That isn't my normal reaction. Rubbing the back of my head is something my Naruto clone has to do when he does something wrong or has to act embarrassed”, I said in thoughts.
“Let me guess, the dispelled one was this Naruto clone?”, asked Tsunade knowingly and I could only nod.
“Now you see, how they will affect you. You only noticed the change, because I informed you about them. This newly gained habit might not be the only one. Are there other things?”, she asked in a doctor mode.
“My hate for Konoha grew in the last weeks, but I put it off”, I said.
“Why did you put it off?”, she questioned.
“It's probably an S or higher ranked secret. It will change your live and view of Konoha if I tell you. Do you want to risk it?”, I asked seriously.
“Konoha is mostly dead to me after “remembering” what they did to you”, she said sadly.
“Are you sure?”, I asked again and she gave me a resolute nod.
“Okay, read this. I marked the important passages, it's the diary of Sarutobi”, I said and gave her his diary.
“How did you get your hands on his diary? I thought it's sealed away?”, she asked and took the diary in her hands.
“Let's just say I have my connections”, I simply said and she chooses to not ask anything further. Instead, she sat down on a chair and began to read. It didn't take long before she cried again, this time silently. I took the time to play with Shizune some card games and she was lucky that we weren't gambling over something.
“How dare he. We were allied and they never planned to backstab us”, she said hatefully after an hour of reading. “How could the Pervert agree to this and the things Sensei did to Kushina-chan and you... I think I can never see them like I did before”, she added.
“What stood inside that diary?”, asked a concerned Shizune.
“The truth about Uzushiogakure, Kushina and why I was treated like I was. And all of them involved Konoha, but not in a good way”, I explained and she looked a little pale as she realized what I meant.
“I already know that your mental age is far above the age of your body Dexter, probably a side effect of your high usage of Shadow Clones. So what are your plans?”, asked Tsunade seriously and with a fire in her eyes, that wasn't there before.
“You are right, I don't think like a six-year-old child. And you are also right that I have made some plans. One of them is rebuilding Uzushiogakure, with me as their Kage. I want to bring them back to their greatness and gather every Uzumaki still alive. I also want to bring down Dazo, Jiraja, Saurtobi and the Council for what they have done”, I said and told her some of my plans.
“It's good that you don't want to kill the whole village for what they did, it wouldn't make you any better than them”, she said with a sigh of relieve.
“The caretaker was already executed for her acts against me and the villagers are only blinded by their hate towards the Kyuubi and their grief over their lost ones. I won't harm those who haven't done anything to me, yet I will also not tolerate any attacks on me. Not anymore”, was my explanation and she nodded in acceptance.
“Okay, so you want me to fix your eyes, anything else?”, she then asked.
“I'd also hoped to gain you as my head medic and advisor. But I have to gather people before that can happen. I already know a few I will try to get and there will surely be some wandering clans that are willing to settle down. I just have to create a reputation beforehand”, I said and looked at her in hope of an agreeing expression.
She raised a single finger and said;” Only under one condition. Every Ninja team will have to have at least one medic nin with them”.
“Agreed”, I instantly said. “One medic in each team will increase the potential fighting time, as well as decrease the rate of casualties tremendously. But a plan like this requires you and Shizune to teach them. Or at least the first batch of medics”, I added and she laughed.
“So young and already wiser than the council”, she said with a smile and then further explained. “I once requested the same in Konoha and they refused me. They said it will cost too much and will only be a hindrance, as the medic isn't allowed to fight on the front lines”.
“That rule can be overcome if we train the medic in large distance support. One teammate will be the close quarter fighter, two more mid-range, and the last one will be the long range fighter. Medics need high Chakra reserves and control anyway, that makes them good with Jutsu”, I said.
“Very smart of you, yes that will do. But now let's start with your operation”, she said with a proud smile.
“What about your fear of blood?”, I asked a little confused.
“That little blood won't stop me, not after watching your “birthday”. I think it worked as something akin to a shock therapy”, she said and gestured for me to lay on the bed.
It seems like medical instruments aren't needed for such an operation.
“Are you able to create another Blood Clone?”, she asked before I sat down.
“Already done”, I said and took a clone out of a stasis scroll.
“Good, I will now put you under a forced sleep. The Jutsu will stay activated until I finished with the operation. You will still need some time to get accustomed to your eyes, but we will help you with everything we can”, she explained and my clone, as well as me, laid down on the bed. I felt the foreign Chakra invading my system and didn't fight it. Sleep quickly overcame me and Tsunade began her work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A second chapter, hope you liked it. And I also hope I catched Tsunade's and Shizune's personality right. I might have to write Tsunade a little bit more temperamental.
