To the Pub

[Tsunade]

Tsunade walked out of the administration building, shoulders slumped over as she sought a reprieve from her daily duties. Really, being Hokage is tough...I forgot about the paper work whenever I agreed to the job. Then a face floated into her mind's eye, one with black hair and eyes. I have to admit though, it is a whole lot easier when you have a good assistant. Tsunade made a mental note to somehow thank Shizune within the next few days as she continued her stroll up to the entrance of the local pub and walked in. She went to a back booth, not feeling like going straight to the bar as she looked over the list of beverages, wondering what to choose.

[Hyuuga Neji]

"Doesn't a bar make the Hokage title unhonored Tsunade-sama?" The calm voice of Hyuuga Neji is heard whispering loud enough just for Tsunade. Neji sitting "On his feet" as some say, next to Tsunade. He then smirks as he jumps off the stool he was on, and begins to walk towards the door. "Tsunade-sama, this truely shouldn't be a place for you." Neji calmly says as he exits the bar, and begins to slowly walk down the street.

Not one of my best, but I am rusty after being gone for so long.

[Tsunade]

Tsunade snorted at Neji's comment, annoyed at the Hyuuga prodigy. "Shows what you know squirt. Working all the time gets to you after a while. This is merely a way to unwind." Really, no one could expect her to file paper work and assign missions around the clock, right?
After Neji left though, she did feel just a tinge guilty. Darn him. With that, Tsunade decided to leave, even though it put her in a slightly foul mood, and decided to walk around for a breath of fresh air.

[Hyuuga Neji]

"So I was right Tsunade-sama." Neji calling out from on top of a near by building. Neji calmly jumps down, as the Hyuuga prodigy walks over to her, confident, and arrogent, since mainly he got to her. "So it is true, even the legendary Sanin' have their weaknesses. 1. Jairya-san has been told to be weak against the opposite sex. 2. You Tsunade-sama are weak against alchohal. 3. And Orochimaru is weak against the temptation of power." Neji's conclusion, he hopes isn't far off.

Even with those weaknesses, they are more powerful than any could imagine. Apparently, The Third didn't go easy on his pupils, and taught them multiple things. Unfortunately, Gai-sensei' isn't a Hyuuga, so he could never teach me those techniques. The scary thing though, is much like me, Orochimaru, and Itachi was the star of their genin' groups.

"So Tsunade-sama.. Any attacks from Akatsuki?" The question has been burning in Neji's mind since his encounter with Itachi. He dying to face him again. Neji patiently awaits the answer, of course he also has the normal question of Uzumaki Naruto's wereabouts. But that comes after.
