Real revenge

It has been two years since Naruto left on his training adventure with Jiraiya. It has been two years since he learned of his father, Minato Namikaze and his clan's secret techniques. And finally it has been two years since Sakura Haruno said that she no longer felt for the Uchiha and only cared for him now. In that exchange between the two Naruto felt the happiest he has ever felt in his whole life. His dream of becoming Hokage was in truth a two part dream. One part was the obvious gain of the title, and becoming village leader. Though the second part is one that he had stated openly to the public, none ever grasped the full meaning. For Naruto Uzumaki being Hokage was a great accomplishment, by anybody's standards, though Naruto saw no point in the title if you had no one to share it with. Which is why when Sakura the girl he has always dreamed about to share his dream with stated she cared for him and was more than willing to try with him, he was ecstatic.

Every six months the traveling duo would head to grass country to receive their mail from Konoha. As always it was a joyous time for Naruto to hear from his Sakura-Chan, and Jiraiya to inform Tsunade of his findings on Akatsuki. This time was a little different though when they arrived there was a big package waiting for Jiraiya, but nothing for Naruto.

"Aww ero-sennin, did you tell Baa-Chan the wrong place to send mail again!!" Stated Naruto in a very irritated fashion

"No I did not you little runt now be quite, maybe Sakura just forgot to write"

"Sakura-Chan would never do that, she's a lot better at remembering things than you or Baa-Chan ever were"

"Well it's not my fault that your mail isn't here, so just wait a minute maybe Tsunade wrote something about it in my mail."

With that Jiraiya opened up the package while Naruto sat on the ground sulking. Jiraiya shot one last irritated glance at Narutos slouching figure before looking at the contents of the package. Inside were three scrolls and a letter addressed to Jiraiya. Not exactly knowing what the scrolls were Jiraiya deciding reading the letter first would help explain things. The letter had two separate ones in it aside from the one from Tsunade. Now the one saying Sakura on it didn't really surprise Jiraiya, but it did raise some questions. Now the second letter made Jiraiya's blood boil along with raising many questions, considering it had the Uchiha symbol on it as a seal along with the name Sasuke. Looking over Jiraiya noticed that Naruto was meditating, and at an inner peace. Seeing such brought a look of pride to the mans face seeing how far his new student had come in such a short time. Who in Konoha could believe that the once loud and boisterous ninja, now preferred meditating over talking. Don't get him wrong, Naruto still talks, but if he gets into a situation where he would usually become flustered, loud, and flying off the stick he just simply lets it go and recedes into the recesses of his mind. In fact it was amazing how much it had helped Naruto in his training. Not only had he improved his arsenal of jutsu's, he has also began perfecting the Rasengan. By adding his own nature manipulation, and his affinity for wind. As Jiraiya reminisced he decided to hold those thoughts for later and see what the hell was going on in Konoha. As he opened Tsunade's letter certain events in began to play out in his mind while reading the letter

Jiraiya

By now you are wondering what is going on here in Konoha. Well to tell you the truth a great deal is, though I don't believe it is better for the village. The first thing and probably the one you are wondering about is Sasuke. He has returned to the village, and has regained his full shinobi status. Why you ask is because when Sasuke returned he brought with him, a map of all of Orochimaru's hideouts along with the head of Kabuto Yakushi. The council already wanted their precious Uchiha, to be free of punishment and him having done all that guaranteed it. But there is more Jiraiya. You can tell Naruto when you think he is ready to know, but I don't know how well he is gonna take this. Sasuke and Sakura are a couple now. Jiraiya I don't know what Sasukes true intentions are, and I don't know Naruto's now either. Please break it to him easy. Though I didn't break easy on Sakura, she is no longer my apprentice after this last stupidity streak. She and the Uchiha brat have each sent their own letters to Naruto. I don't know what either one says, and frankly I don't care. They have already done a great sin towards their teammate, so I don't see how they could do any worse. Enclosed within the scrolls are as follows: Another three years pay, Minato's shurikens along with the teachings for the Hirashin, Minato's training gear along with his clan's cloak, and finally naruto's promotion to chunnin, along with his vest. The reason why I send all of this is because I don't think Naruto will be emotionally ready to return in six months, and I'd say you don't either. I am giving you the option of training for another three years, after that though you need to return to Konoha. Jiraiya let it to him easy and send message once you two have an answer for me.

Godaime Hokage

Tsunade.

Jiraiya was left in a stupor to say the least. How could he tell Naruto? All the kid has talked about for these two years is returning stronger to Sakura.

"Ero-Sennin?"

Jiraiya was tore out of his musings to find Naruto studying him with a questioning gaze.

"Ero-sennin, what's the matter? You have been sitting there glaring at that letter in your hand, Is something wrong in Konoha?" Naruto asked this with a kind of anxiousness to his voice.

Jiraiya knew that he couldn't tell Naruto now, or anywhere near any kind of populated area for that matter. He had a feeling that with this news Narutos anger was gonna reach an all time high.

"Naruto lets get moving we need to head back out in to the country to continue your training." As Jiraiya stated this he began to head back down the road that went out of town, with Naruto right by his side.
