Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Author's Note: This is not a new Chapter. This is an explanation as to the possible follow-ups to the story.

First off: As a virgin, I have written a few lemons that people have told me are good/realistic. This is partially due to the friends who beta my work when I feel something like I'm writing something that's beyond me. It is also due to the amount of discussion on this particular subject I've had with friends and girlfriends who I've fooled around with (no penetration in any way, though). However, I don't feel like going through that too much, so if I write a follow-up I don't think I'll do many lemons (If any), and I definitely cannot guarantee that they'll be any good.

Regardless, there will be a sequel. The sequel will be:

1. Tsunade's work with Jiraiya, Naruto, and Shizune, to design the age-lowering serum. It will end around the time Naruto becomes Hokage, and his relationships are discovered. I may write an Epilogue or a one-shot follow-up discussing Naruto's farewell to Konoha with the two Sannin and our favorite Medic-nin.

If people really like that, then I may also write this idea:

2. Naruto's adventures with Jiraiya, where he meets Tsukasa Dōmyōji and eventually plans his negotiations to clear Tsunade of her debts. This story will be more like a series of one-shots which all pertain to Naruto's history, and will end with a few scenes regarding Naruto's meeting with a woman named Setsuna who shows Naruto that he does love Tsunade.

What does everyone think? Please let me know. Until then, please enjoy this little drabble that will ensure I won't get reported and removed from this site for posting a chapter which is not actually a chapter. It's more of a half-scene.

Clearing Your Debts
Epilogue
By: Nanio-713

Tsunade paced her office nervously. Her paperwork, thank the spirits, had finally trickled to a manageable level so she wasn't always swamped with papers and could enjoy spending her time doing other things, such as pacing nervously. While this was not the most positive thing the Godaime Hokage could be doing, but it was better than releasing stress by punching things with her chakra-induced strength. As she paced around she heard the faint footsteps approaching people. She quickly moved behind her desk and sat down, crossing her arms. When someone knocked on her door, she quickly summoned them in.

Shizune, Tsunade's former apprentice and currently secret lover, entered and bowed to Tsunade. "Hello, Tsunade, I have brought Naruto-kun and Jiraiya-Sannin."

At this announcement, the door opened further and the two Leaf ninja entered the room. Jiraiya looked the same, with his eclectic outfit and horned forehead protector. Naruto was dressed differently than Tsunade had last seen him. He looked as if he just finished training: His orange coat was open to show a white shirt which seemed partially wet due to sweat, and his matching orange sweatpants seemed to have one or two fresh kunai cuts along the sides. It took Tsunade a moment to catch her breath and stop staring.

Luckily, nobody commented on her momentary distraction as Shizune was busy closing the door, and the two men knew better than to tease the Hokage. Tsunade cleared her throat to remove her embarrassment before speaking. "Well, as you may know, Naruto spoke to me yesterday about your… training regiment… that you plan to implement amongst yourselves. If you don't know, he also asked me to join your cause, and help you if there are any problems with your chakra exercises."

Jiraiya quirked his eyebrows at the code Tsunade seemed to be speaking before remembering where he was. One never knows whether the council had this room bugged, right? "Well, Tsunade-hime, what do you think of your new training regiment? Will you like to help us by putting in your own ideas?"

Tsunade stared into Shizune's eyes for a while, trying to convey her feelings. Shizune understood and nodded, and then Tsunade turned to Naruto. "I agree to help the three of you. I'll take a look at your plans as soon as possible."

Naruto's grin grew wide as Shizune's eyes grew wide. Shizune quickly wrapped Tsunade in a tight hug while Jiraiya began to leer. "It's good to hear that you've taken an interest in our regiment," Jiraiya replied. "It seems a bit dangerous, even for ninja of our caliber, so it's always good to know we'll have you watching over us."

Tsunade nodded, and Jiraiya bowed. "Not to be insulting, but Kakashi needs to talk to me about whether he should allow his new ANBU partner to make a summoning contract. I'll see you all when we know what's going on."

Tsunade nodded as Jiraiya walked out of her office. She turned to Naruto and stared into the Blonde man's eyes for a few minutes, trying to figure our how he felt about the whole situation. "Naruto-"

Naruto held up his hand and glanced around, causing Tsunade to shut up. "We can talk about my training plan later. I know you don't really like it because my chakra is so volatile sometimes, but I'm sure everything will work out fine. Just talk to Shizune about any questions you have, and notify me about your ideas regarding my proposal."

Before Tsunade could protest, Naruto vanished in a cloud of smoke. A kage munshin, Tsunade realized. He sent a goddamn Kage Bunshin for this conversation! Goddamn brat, how dare he! Tsunade fumed for a moment before calming down and turning to Shizune. "So, how about we go get some Sushi and Sake after work? I really need to clear my head, and I'd rather not do it alone."

Shizune nodded and moved next to Tsunade. She lowered her head and moved her mouth by Tsunade's ear, causing the hair on the Slug Sannin's neck to stand as Shizune's warm breath touched her skin. "I can't wait until tonight, Tsunade. If you're really tense tonight, though, I may even have to take you home and give you a massage."

Tsunade could barely focus on her work for the rest of the day.
