Summary

What it the Akatsuki split and were no more?

What if Jiraiya never died?

And what if Naruto went on a second training trip?

And what if all these what if's were realities?

Let's see what happens

So this is how it Began

Chapter 1

Silence, the sun was setting birds were chirping and all was calm that is until the words free and ramen came out of someone's mouth.

"WOOP" screamed the sixteen year old orange and black ninja.

"Dam it Naruto must you yell every time I offer to buy you ramen" said the older white haired hermit.

"Sorry Ero sensei it's just not every day someone offers to pay my ramen bill" the young teenager said with his goofy grin plastered on his face.

Jiraiya just let out a brief sigh "Yeah yeah and don't expect it again anytime soon" the hermit paused and decided to milk the moment for all its worth "besides at the rate you eat I might as well hand you my money and let you eat that, and there's much more fiber in money then ramen"

Naruto just sighed and decided to ignore the cruel joke and when he sat down at the ramen stand he screamed at the top of his lungs "HEY OLD MAN"

Unfortunately for Jiraiya his ear just happened to be near Naruto's mouth as the screaming began and boy did it give Jiraiya's ear a run for its money.

"YEEEOWWWWW" screamed the hermit into the night.


Knock Knock

Tsunade looked up from her desk covered in mountains of paper work up to the door "yes, enter"

"Master I have the reports you requested" said the young pink haired konochi.

A vain throbbed on Tsunade's head "umm thanks Sakura but when I said go out and enjoy the night I didn't mean go out and write paper work"

Sakura looked over to the window and her mind began to wonder about her blond and orange wearing teammate, next thing she knew a hand was waving in front of her face "Sakura hello you there?"

"hmmmm…oh yes sorry master guess I got lost in thought" Sakura said scratching the back of her head sticking her tongue out.

"Anyway master what other work do you need done?"

Normally Tsunade would have jumped at that offer handed all of the paper work to Sakura and run out the door faster than Kakashi could run to the store and buy the newest makeout paradise novel. But something was odd and Tsunade decided she should find out what was bugging her apprentice.

"Sakura as much as I enjoy you offering to help me, why don't you enjoy what time you have left with Nar-"

"YEEEOWWWWW" echoed into her office almost as loudly as it came out of the perpetrators mouth.

"THE HELL?!" Tsunade said trying to figure out the noise but she guessed it must have to do with Jiraiya or Naruto…..or both combined, she rolled her eyes and dismissed the thought.

"Now what was I doing…oh yes Sakura as much as it pains me to say this-" she paused momentarily and took a deep breath and let it out nice and calmly "-instead of helping me with my paper work go and enjoy yourself ok why not go on a date with Naruto?" trying her best to put a smile on her face even though the thought of not getting out of doing paper work to go enjoy getting drunk at the local bar, she would rather see her student happy.

Sakura's eye twitched "Why should I go on a da-"

"Well…one you have a crush on him two he's single and that status might not last much longer and three he's leaving tomorrow"

Sakura slouched her head down and sighed and suddenly her head sprang back up and her eyes were wide.

"Wha-What do you mean he's leaving tomorrow?"

"Simple the Akatsuki are no more and it's safe for him to leave the borders"

"But why is he leaving?"

"To fufill one of his two dreams Sakura…To become Hokaga"

"So he well be back in a year or two right?"

"Four" Tsunade said trying to show little emotion.

"Weeks?" Sakura said calmly.

Tsunade shook her head no.

"Months!" Sakura said this time a little louder.

Once again she shook her head no.

"YEARS!!" she screamed.

Tsunade just nodded.

"He's leaving for four years" she practically whispered to herself.

Tsunade actually felt bad last time Naruto left Sakura just realized how much she felt for the blond shinobi and became depressed as the months went by and that was only two years last time and this was going to be double the original training trips length, Tsunada could only sigh because she remembered that Sakura had been putting off her feelings for the blond knuckle head for slightly over a year since he came back.

Tsunade finally noticed Sakura was standing there staring at nothing probably lost in thought.

"Sakura?"

The pink headed girl slowly looked at her master with sadness in her eyes.

"You should go confess to him because if you don't he might move on in four years"

"Thank you Tsunade-sama that's exactly what I'll do" she said with a smile before she took off on her quest for the knuckle head she had fallen for.

Tsunade just sighed as her apprentice left the office.

"Jiraiya no matter what don't turn him into a pervert" she said only to herself.


Naruto and Jiraiya had finished their ramen and were walking to no place In particular it was quiet and dark so Jiraiya had finally decided to break the silence but Naruto beat him to it.

"Alright Ero sensei why are we walking out here at night and might I add there must be a reason your walking with me"

Jiraiya was surprised to say the least it was rare for Naruto to notice these things let alone act serious about it.

"Alright since you put it that way, I'm taking you on a four year training trip and once it's done, if your skill is high enough when the training is complete you will become a candid for the next Hokaga"

Jiriaya quickly covered his ears expecting a loud screech of excitement but it never came, instead he opened his eyes only to see Naruto's eyes wide open staring into space.

"Naruto ?" Jiraiya said while waving his hands in front of his student in an attempt to gain his attention but to no effect.

"Naruto?!" He said again but slightly louder.

"NARUTO !!" this time Jiraiya screamed at his young blond student and this time Naruto spoke up.

"….four…years.." Naruto said out loud slightly above a whisper and slowly his vision moved to the old perverts face.

Jiraiya continued to look at his student and let out a brief sigh he began to open his mouth to speak but he was at a loss for what to say to his student because the look and the young boys face scared Jiraiya, it was not a look of anger on the young blond shinobi but a look of pain sadness and hurt in his eyes that seemed to fade from the bright sky blue color they once were.

In an attempt to cheer the young boy up Jiraiya spoke up once more "Listen Naruto this is a four year training trip but when we get back you will be stronger than me and possibly stronger then the three sanin combined and you will most likely be appointed as Hokaga"

Naruto smiled but Jiraiya could tell it was fake because his eyes were still cold and void of life.

"Understood….. Jiraiya-sama" Naruto said without a hint of emotion.

Jiraiya's eyes widened Naruto never, never once did Naruto call him Jiraiya-sama unless something was killing Naruto on the inside.

"Alright Naruto what in the world is wrong with you?" the old hermit said in a voice full of concern.

The young Ninja quickly answered "Nothi-"

Jiraiya quickly interrupted and spoke in a tone that meant don't mess with me "Naruto don't lie to your master….now tell me whats wrong"

The young jinjuriken sighed "alright"

He spoke up again "I'm going be gone for four years and I still have yet to tell her how I feel"

The old man sighed "oh-" he paused briefly and spoke up again "and I take it this is the young pink haired one?"

Naruto gave simple nod

"I see" was all Jiraiya said as the two continued to walk all around town with no real destination

"Well…why don't you just tell her?"

"Wha??" Naruto said with a dumbfounded look covering his face.

"Listen young one I am one of the great three and the master of love!!" The old pervert said while a narrow beam of light came from the sky and claps were heard all around as well as some paper graffiti began to fall from the sky.

"How the heck is…how did you do that??" Naruto stamerd looking at the scean infront of him.

"I'm the amazing Jiraiya do not question my skills" Jiraiya said in his version of an attempt to be...cool that failed miserably.

Naruto sighed and walked away from the old hermit before he heard him shout.

"Don't forget what I said just tell her straight forward how you feel and also meet me tomorrow morning around six"

The young blond sighed once more and made his way into the night with his destination unknown.
