Misunderstanding – Chapter One

This is my first public fanfic, I'm not really sure what I should put for author notes. I'm pretty sure I know where this will be going but I'm still not entirely sure about filler plot, right now I'm leaning towards a few pairings but still not 100% sure whether or not I will use them. If you have any ideas leave them in a review and I'll try to answer if I find time. I believe this will end up being a FemNaru story, however it may or may not have a Naruto x Male pairing, but I think it will. I don't like people who put Japanese in their writing without any explanation of what it means. I'm a huge fan of FemNaru fics but more precisely FemNaruXSasu.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, unfortunately.

Naruto awoke from his graceful slumber on the floor of his room beside his bed to a dull thud on his apartment door. Grumbling as he scratched beneath his black and white sleeping cap that he had had since he could remember; muttering something about 'damned floors' he made his way to his apartment door. Upon opening his door he was greeted with a small toad that appeared to be carrying a small scroll in its mouth.

"Gamatatsu?" Naruto questioned the small amphibian confusedly.

"Hiya! Do you have any treats?" The yellow toad asked excitedly.

Naruto just stared at it with a blank expression for a moment before grabbing the scroll and closing the door on the weird toad.

Unrolling the scroll Naruto observed that it appeared to be in fairly bad shape suggesting whoever wrote it either didn't care about their scrolls or was possibly in danger; with this in mind as well as the toad who sent it Naruto had a good idea who sent the toad.

Reading the scroll revealed that it had indeed been sent by Jiraiya; it claimed that he would be in the village shortly and had sent word to Tsunade that he would be taking Naruto out on another large training period. Naruto groaned, he had just gotten back from a two and half year training trip with the toad sage to find that Sasuke had killed Orochimaru and was travelling with a team of former test subjects of Orochimaru's; reports also indicated that Yakushi Kabuto had transplanted various body parts of Orochimaru's to harness his power. It had been a harsh two years and Naruto continually doubted Jiraiya's training methods, he would go from doing perverted things to serious matters daily; Naruto found it disturbing how much his training methods had actually worked.

Regardless, Naruto was still skeptical on whether or not he would actually be training under Jiraiya or left to tutor himself with few hints and training tips.

Naruto then decided he would refuse to go with the toad sage unless he promised to train him properly with proper and ethical training methods.


When Jiraiya arrived at the hokage tower with Naruto after refusing to tell Naruto anything about his training he was surprised when Naruto refused the training he had offered the boy.

"Naruto, you must understand that Jiraiya, regardless of his perverseness, will help you in any way he can," Tsunade said flatly.

"Naruto… How bad could it be? Look at how much you have progressed since I began your training three years ago," Jiraiya urged on.

"Pervert Sage, how can you go on about training me when all you did was give me tips and hints on what I was already doing and could have figured out on my own. You've also left me in villages alone because you had to do research," Naruto was beginning to get irritated, unless they explained thoroughly what his training would entail, he would not go."

"What would I have to say to make you come with me Naruto?" Jiraiya questioned, also slightly annoyed as well as disturbed by Naruto's reluctance to train with him. His habits weren't that bad.

"Explain how and where you plan to train me!" Naruto shouted.

"Calm down Naruto! You could have asked in the beginning!" Jiraiya said, "I planned to leave you at a small village that Tsunade trained in; she gained a good portion of her chakra control there and developed her 'Genesis Rebirth' ability with one of the medics there," Jiraiya explained.

"Really?! Wow! I'm going to become the greatest hokage ever if I can master Granny's monstrous strength!" Naruto exclaimed happily.

At Naruto's last comment Tsunade's eye brow began to twitch and she threw a stapler at Naruto hitting him in his nose.

"Naruto." Jiraiya began seriously.

"Yeah, Pervy Sage?" Naruto quickly looked at Jiraiya questionably.

"I won't be able to stay with you once we reach the village. I'm not even sure if they will accept you. You see, the people Tsunade trained under are very secretive and don't stop moving, until recently I haven't been able to trace any of them which is why I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to attempt to persuade them to train you."

"Hmm," Naruto rubbed his chin thoughtfully before he seemed to come up with something, "What'll happen if they won't train me?"

"In that case I'll continue your training," I hope.

"Alright! When do we leave Granny? Pervy Sage?" Naruto seemed ecstatic, however Tsunade and Jiraiya were contemplating what would really happen if Naruto wasn't trained under the slugs.

"You'll be leaving at dawn tomorrow, I suggest you say your 'goodbyes' while you're still here, you could be gone for a few years." Tsunade said trying to look proud.


Reviews would be nice, suggestions and criticism are always welcome as well!

This was a bit shorter than I expected but expect fairly frequent updates and hopefully longer chapters.
