It was late. Tsunade was stuck doing damn paper work again.

"Crap, will this pile ever end? Why am I the last one up every night?" She asked herself. There was a knock on the door. "Who is it? What do you want?" You could tell she wasn't in a good mood.

A big man came in with that stupid grin of his. "Looks like someone is a little cranky." He said.

"Shut up, you baka!!! I have no time for you; I have to finish these damn paper works!" She said with a little growl.

"I just came to bring you some Sake, you weren't at the bar today." He said.

"Shizune's been watching me like a hawk all day! I hate this." She stated as she took the Sake and drank it. "So what do you really want Jiraiya?"

"Well I came to tell you Naruto and I will be leaving for about a year to train."

"What you just came back from you two and half year training."

"Yeah but Naruto wants to complete the Rasengan."

"Didn't he already master it?"

"Yes but remember, the Fourth never completed it. And I need to tell Naruto something about him and the Fourth anyway."

"He thinks he can complete it."

"Hey he is the son of the Yondaime, I'm sure he can."

"Fine, when are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow, well good night." Jiraiya said wanting to end the conversation there.

Tsunade just watched her old friend leave.

The next day, Jiraiya and Naruto were at the gate. Sakura, Hinata, Shikamaru, and all of Naruto's other friends including Tsunade and Shizune were waving them good bye and good luck.

"Do you think Naruto will come back stronger and more mature?" Sakura asked her sensei.

"No, but I'm sure he'll come back with a new perverted jutsu like last time." Tsunade responded and Sakura had to laugh.


One year later

Naruto and Jiraiya finally returned and to their surprise, Konoha was almost wrecked. It looked like there were some repairs done.

"Whoa, what happened while we were gone?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know Naruto, but I'm going to find out. You go look for Kakashi and your friends; I'll ask Tsunade what's going on." Jiraiya said. Then he and Naruto spit up.

Jiraiya went straight to Tsunade's office only to be surprised that she was not there. Then Shizune came in and gasped, surprised to see Jiraiya.

"Master Jiraiya, you scared me. When did you get back?" Shizune asked.

"Just now, where is Tsunade?" Jiraiya replied.

"Oh well, um, Tsunade-sama is well, she's…" Shizune was a little nervous. She didn't know what to tell Jiraiya. Then her beeper went off to her rescue. "Oh well I need to head to the hospital now and-"

"Where is Tsunade, you need to tell me now!" Jiraiya interrupted her scared that Tsunade had died.

"Alright follow me." Shizune said.


Alright, I'm going to leave a cliff hanger there, and don't think I am an evil cliff hanger person. It's just how I write my stories depending on what kind of story it is. Well I'd appreciate it if you gave me some constructive criticism and some feed back. I will need at least 5 reviews before I continue.
