Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.
A/N: My second attempt at writing a Naruto Fanfic. I am a Jiraiya fan so he will play a major part in this but it will only come in flashbacks and Naruto's grown up personality.
This fic is my take on how Naruto would have developed in strength and character if Jiraiya spent more time training Naruto in conventional methods and straightened out his issues i.e his stupidity mask or his obsession with saving people who don't want to saved.
Prologue
A 6'3'' White haired man walked through the gates 2 years later than expected; To return without a short blonde kid he left with nearly 5 years earlier. He now had to explain to his blonde haired teammate and his Hokage why even after his two year extension her favourite blonde was not with him on his way back but he was sure she would give him hell for the delay; He was sure the look on her face when he told here why Naruto was delayed in arrival was well worth having her scream at him for coming back without him.
Pride was the only word that he could now think of when he thought of his godson, which was good thing because when he started out the word that came to mind on his mind when he thought about the blonde haired kid was sadness, regret and anger. A lot of those emotions were directed on his own being for not being there when his godson needed him to teach him, to hold his hand when he needed it to show him people cared; some of it also at the village he had saved by holding back the beast since the day he was born.
He had worked towards correcting his flaws as a fighter, it was unsurprisingly simple all he needed to do was to observe him and tell him where he went wrong and nudge the boy the right way, he mastered it and many a case bettered the lessons which he was taught. It only compounded his speculations that he was not taught or was taught wrong; 'Well tough luck, those who intended to impede him; they failed, they can't imagine how good he is now' thought the toad sage with mischief in his eyes as he sat on the window sill of Tsunade's working chambers.
Tsunade instinctively looked to the window to find her Pervert of teammate with a look of mischief in his eyes, she had seen that look in his eyes when he looked at her impressive assets or when he knew something big was happening; He seemed confident that he had pulled a fast one on the whole village, 'was that really possible?' she asked herself, then again 'village madness' that title he did not gain by being normal but she was Hokage now she had to deal with the aftermath "what have you done Jiraiya?" she looked at him and asked.
"Now now Hime, you say that like you expect me to heap more trouble on you" he asked with a tinge mock annoyance "Do you honestly expect me to answer that?" she asked "You will want to scream out in joy and tear your hair out at the same time" "what could cause me to do that?" she asked "Na-ru-to" was his reply "Ah!" was her response.
