"C-come here!" Tsunade exhorted, taken a little by surprise.
As the door opened, she saw that Shizune was the one who knocked at the door. She immediately entered in the office.
"Shizune, so it's you..." said the blonde.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama". The secretary answered. Then she carefully pulled some documents from her purse and placed them on the desk.
"Those are the reports of the last mission of Team 7. It was a complete success, although Naruto had almost his team discovered... however, he still defeated the target and brought him to justice".
The blonde sighed has she heard the notice, not at all surprised.
"Naruto... that guy has always been troublesome and reckless. He almost borders in idiocy... but he certainly doesn't lack of good heart and intentions. Mmm...." she sighed again " Is there anything else?"
As she heard these words, Shizune remembered a very important thing. She thumped her heard with the palm of her hand, then she put the other in her bag.
"I have a present for you, Tsunade- sama... it's by a certain Burakku". She pulled out of the bag a black wooden box, finely decorated in gold and placed hem near the papers.
The Hokage took the object with an and examined very closely. She didn't know anything about this Burakku, so she found the fact that he gave her such a precious box very suspicious.
"I know what you're thinking, Tsunade sama, but we have already analyzed the box through the Byakugan and all the other means: we haven't found anything dangerous in this gift". Said the faithful secretary, knowing her master suspicions.
" Mmmm..." the blonde muttered, not very convinced. "This affair is probably far more complicated that we can imagine at first glance... have you opened the box already?"
"No, Burakku explicitly said that you and only you should open it. He said that you are the only person who possesses the key... I don't know anything else about this matter. Sorry, Tsunade- sama".
"It's okay, Shizune. I'll try to understand everything by myself. You can go now".
The brunette bowed down to her master a little, then she left the room. Remained alone, the blonde look at the precious container one more. She was a bit scared of eventual bad surprises, but even quite... excited.
I don't know... she thought. May I open this box? It may be a trap... but Shizune didn't find anything during her analysis. Well, I have decided: I'll open it, regardless of everything.
She scraped with her index the lock of the mysterious present. As it was under the effect of some magic, it released by himself and let the box opened.
The situation was getting really strange, but Tsunade was completely won by curiosity, so she couldn't resist seeing more.
Now I'll finally see this mysterious present... she thought as she put her hand in the box. She soon found a strange black-colored ring alongside a cartouche.
The blonde immediately unrolled the cartouche and started to read it.
"Dear Godaime Hokage, you will probably wondering why I have sent you such a strange gift, since we don't know each other. Well, this is just an half truth: in fact, I know you quite well. Still, do not worry, because I am not an enemy of yours. Believe me or not, I have actually sent you the source of power that you need in order to defeat evil. Yes: even if this ring has gone undetected by your sensor, it still could give you a power that you would never have imagined before. You would know everything about it in the very moment you will wear it. I know that I've left the ring in the right hands, but I still recommend you to be always vigilant: Evil is very strong, and it may even copy your means. Most Importantly, I beg you to never forget the strong and dedicated woman who you are, because with great powers comes great responsibility, but it might arrive insanity too. Do not abuse of it. Never.
Goodbye"
Burakku
Tsunade dint' know if she had to be glad of feared, but certainly she was really shocked: this Barukku had gave her a ring which he claimed it had mystic powers of sort, and she really didn't know what to about the whole situation.
Great source of power? That sounds pretty interesting, and it happened in the best moment possible. But I can't trust this guy so much: If he were a quack or just a stupid prankster? But that ring went unseen trough the Byakugan, so that ring may be truly "magic" or have other abilities. Well, there is only a way to discover it: wearing this ring. But if it were a trap?
Thousands of interrogatives floated in Tsunade's head; what will she do?
