[August 08, 14 A.N.N]

Around midnight, you could see the dark sky, and a cold night wind was blowing. The place is the abyss of death, located on the three borders of Takigakure, Kusagakure, and Konohagakure.

Right now, I was on the edge of the abyss, and I was sitting on a rock waiting. Also, I was still wearing my battle suit, and my mask, as I did not intend to reveal my identity.

When I looked into the abyss, I could see the mist that covered everything, and I could feel a hidden mystery below, and most importantly, I felt a great danger that is in its depths.

'It reminds me of the phrase: The most dangerous place is the safest place!' I thought while looking at the fog.

'I promised that I was not going to enter this place, but the promise was for the future, and not in the past…' I thought as I remembered Kurenai, and Yugao. "I am not breaking any promises."

I stopped seeing the fog, as I did not think to risk my life, just out of curiosity, and I thought 'In the future, I will find out, I am still very weak…'.

At this moment, I looked in the direction of the Konoha base, and I thought 'I was hoping to meet the Princess of Konoha, Senju Tsunade… Hopefully, I made the best decision.'.

During this time, I had prepared for the meeting, since I don't know what could happen, and I thought 'Maybe, Tsunade will come with a whole squad, and surround me, and try to capture me, since I had given little information to run the risk of coming to this place… But… '

'But… Yes, Tsunade came alone, and I accepted the meeting… I will have a good harvest if all goes well.' I thought optimistically.

At this moment, I placed my hand on the rock, and sent out a Chakra pulse to identify presences. After a long time, I open my eyes, and I have a smile, under the mask. I talked…

- "So ... you've made your decision" -

[Point of View, Senju Tsunade]

Before the meeting.

After the strange person (Max) had left, I felt the loss of that strange feeling, it only happened when I was close to the presence of him (Max).

When I felt that everyone was gone, I started to take a bath, since I wanted to relax. As I bathed, I kept thinking about the words he had said to me, and it kept me in suspense; and I thought 'I don't know, if he's telling the truth, or not.'

After a while, I finished my bath, and returned to the base, since I was in charge of seeing the reports, and checking the ninjas.

When I entered the base, while I was walking, all the ninjas greeted me with respect, and some ninjas idolized me, because of my heritage from my clan. I thought 'There was always hatred, that they see me, for my Clan, and no, for who am I.'.

I started to check the base, and also the people, and after a while, I finished my routine. When everything was done, I wanted to rest, and I headed to my tent.

When I was in my tent, and I was sitting, thinking about what the strange person (Max) had told me, and until now I had not made my decision.

During my tour, for the base, I had directed myself in the sensor squad, since I wanted to remove the doubt, and another bigger doubt appeared.

The strangest thing about that meeting is that no sensor ninja could detect his (Max) presence, and they had told me that I was alone all the time, and the only one who had approached was Jiraya.

After they told me that, the sensor ninjas, I didn't ask them again, as that would make them suspicious, and I continued with my routine.

Right now, I kept thinking about everything that had happened at the lake, and I remembered something important, and it hadn't taken much importance until now.

'Are they watching me? ... and why?' I thought, while asking myself this question, I had never thought about this, since I trusted my village.

At this moment, I concentrated, and after a while, I could feel the same presences that had approached in the bathroom with Jiraya.

Those people were in a circle around me, and I thought 'They keep watching me ... Why? ... Why would they do this? ...', my body began to tremble, since every moment new questions appeared, and I had no answer.

The more time passed, the more doubts came to my head, and until now I had not made my decision if I was going to meet with the strange person (Max), but he knew something that I did not know, and he had the answers that I am wanted.

Without realizing it, as I thought, time had moved on very fast, and the sun was setting, and very soon it was going to be dark. I thought 'I haven't made my decision yet… I'd better go out to clear my mind.'

When I got out of my tent and started walking around the base. When I was walking, I felt strange, since every time I was greeted, I felt that some people were false their respects, and most were sincere.

I had never paid attention to this little detail, but after the conversation with the stranger (Max), I started to notice these little details, and I kept walking.

'They still follow my movements.' I thought, since I could feel, the presences that watched me follow me at a distant distance. 'I can't alert them, because I still don't know who is responsible ... Once I found out, who is responsible … He will pay dearly for it.'.

I went to the tent, where I always play, since gambling always makes me forget my problems.

When I was playing, I kept thinking about the words of the stranger (Max), and I couldn't concentrate, and worst of all, the game didn't make me forget that meeting, it's as if it tormented me every moment.

During this time, I had lost a lot of money in the game, but I did not care, the money could get it, but inside my body, I felt a discomfort growing.

I continued with the gambling game, and was not so focused, as I kept thinking, whether to go to that meeting or not. When I was thinking, I heard screams, and I looked at everyone, they began to congratulate me, I had not understood the reason until they told me that I had won the game.

When I was told that I had won the game, my body shook, as I had never won, and the times I had won it was when a tragedy happened in my life. I thought 'I almost decided not to go… Is it related to this?'.

At this moment, I felt something that I was going to lose, and it was something very important in my life; And I thought 'If I don't go to that meeting, I'm going to regret it.'

Making my decision, I went to my tent to prepare myself, since I wanted to take away these feelings that continued to grow, and my suspicions.

When I was in my tent, I didn't know what to bring for the exchange, and I still doubted what the other party (Max) might want.

After some time of meditating, I put money on a storage roll, and I thought 'People love money, but I don't think, I'm only worth this price.', I put a large sum of money on the roll.

In the next storage roll, I had placed my biggest secret on medical ninjutsu, and I thought 'This is my life's work.'

I began to place in the storage scrolls, various things of value, since in my opinion, they are very valuable. In some scrolls they had techniques, and in others, you had things of value.

'I'm not worried that he will steal from me, as he is too weak to be my opponent. I don't think it's an ambush, if I wanted it, it would have attacked me when I hadn't realized it. ' I thought, after meditating on everything.

At this time, I created a Shadow Clone, and left it in the tent, while I escaped from the base, without the people watching me, noticing.

When I managed to leave the base, without attracting attention, I started to run, as fast as possible, since the place is far away, and I was afraid of being late.

After a few hours, I was near the meeting place, and I could sigh, since I thought I was not going to make it.

The place of the meeting, I had appeared strange, since the name reflects death, and I thought 'It should be a dangerous place if one entered the abyss.'.

When I was running, I felt a presence appear, and I headed in that direction, and I thought 'It's the same feeling I had… when I met that strange person (Max)'.

When I got closer to the place, where I could feel his presence, I could see him, he was sitting on a rock, in a relaxed position, while he was looking at the horizon, and I thought 'he looks so cool.'.

'The scene is very quiet, and… I don't feel any other presence "I thought, as I slowed down, and kept my guard up, as a precaution.

At this moment, I could see that he was looking at me, and he began to speak.

- "Stay away, and keep your distance." -

[Point of View, Third]

"Stay away, and keep your distance." - Max said with a calm voice, while he looked at Tsunade, and he thought 'In the end, she came… I'm surprised that she chose to come, not knowing that it could be a trap.'.

"Aren't you afraid it's a trap?" - Max said calmly, since he wanted to know his answer.

"No, and you couldn't beat me either ... And you, aren't you afraid that it's an ambush, and you're already surrounded?" - Tsunade said with a smile on his face, and with a relaxed tone because his strength was superior to the other party (Max).

"Actually, no! ... I already made plans, if you try that trick." - Max said calmly, unaffected by the mockery, and he looked into the abyss with the thick fog, and looked back at Tsunade. - "The one who would lose would be you ..."

"Ohhh" - Tsunade said surprised, and looked in the direction, and could see a thick fog, and felt danger in that place, and looked at Max. - "Is it your escape route?".

"Yes, and no, I don't know what exists below… it is very easy to enter, but it is very difficult to exit." - Max said shrugging his shoulders, while he continued sitting in a relaxed position.

"..." Tsunade looked at Max's behavior, he was extremely relaxed, while she continued to grow that discomfort in her body, as she desperately denied it.

'Tsunade is really beautiful, in this time, she is with the true beauty of her ...' Max thought, as he looked at Tsunade's figure. "Many theories said that Tsunade lost his youth in the Second Shinobi World War, because he had been saving his friends."

"I'm still surprised by your decision to come to this place ..." - Max said calmly. - "Tell me, what is your real motivation?".

"Motivate? .. What reason, you tell me, what is that truth, what were you talking about?" - Tsunade said annoyed, since she did not want to believe, and she desperately clung to the fact that everything was a lie.

"You've already figured it outright?" - Max said calmly, while he looks at her, how she gets upset, and she looked like an annoyed kitten, and he thought 'Tsunade has noticed, but he desperately refuses to accept reality.

"Do I realize? ... What are you talking about." - Tsunade said her low tone of voice, since she was afraid to confirm her suspicions, because it was her discomfort that she had all day, trying to deny it.

"You still don't accept it? ... everything you've thought, and you've suspected ... it's true" - Max said calmly, and looked at Tsunade as her face turned dark every moment.

"So is it true ... that my village is watching over me?" - Tsunade said slowly, wanting to find an answer contrary to what she thought, and that discomfort continued to grow more, and more.

"Yes, they are watching you ... This information is free, the next ones ... you will have to pay whatever price it is worth." - Max said calmly, while he watched Tsunade's behavior, she clenched her fists tightly, since she did not think that her village was watching her.

"..." Tsunade, she keep silent, and she thought 'Why are they watching me? ...' What is the objective? ... What do they gain from this? ... Who sent me to watch? ... ", his mind filled with more questions, and his discomfort kept growing, his heart began to beat faster.

Max was just a bystander, as he watched Tsunade's reaction. After a while, Tsunade began to calm down, and spoke again.

"Tell me ... Why? ... Why are they watching me?" - Tsunade said calmly, and she began to calm down, because if she is upset she can make a mistake.

"If you want to know more of the truth, you must pay a price." - Max said calmly, and he thought 'Worthy of the best Kunoichi in this world, she calmed down very quickly.'

"Okay, what do you want?" -Tsunade said with a calm voice, since she first she wanted to discover the truth, and she thought 'I have to know the truth.'.

Max liked Tsunade's calm. - "So, we started the negotiation" -
