Naruto and Sasuke were training in the forest near their village when Master Jiraiya walked into the clearing. "Very good" Jiraiya said as he sat down on the ground and sat there watching them train.
"Thanks" Naruto said and walked to the each of the clearing opposite Sasuke who was on the other side of the clearing. "We are just training."
"He is getting better but he can't win against me at the moment" Sasuke said with a smile on his face. Then he formed a hand sign and then his eyes were fixed on naruto. "Ready Naruto?"
"Ready as I will ever be" He replied back getting ready to dodge another lot of Sasuke's attack. "Go..." Naruto got cut off as Sasuke did his fire ball jutsu that was very powerful. Naruto dodge way before it got close to him and then ran at Sasuke at full speed and then tried to kick at him but missed.
"Need more speed Naruto" Jiraiya said "You are going to slow." Naruto jumped back and then stood at the same place he started off and then nodded as if he was going try and go faster. "Go" Jiraiya said as he moved about one metre away from the clearing to observe them.

Naruto and Sasuke sparred for hours on end. "Naruto can you keep going or do you want to call it quits for today?" Sasuke asked breathing hard and then sat in the clearing to catch his breath.
Naruto looked just as bad and was also breathing hard. "I...can...keep...going..." He said taking breathes in between each word or so.
"That's enough" Jiraiya said "you don't want to kill your self do you Naruto?" Naruto looked at his feet and put his hands on his knees and nodded. "And if you die then I can't take you on this mission."
Naruto's eyes widened and then he ran up to Jiraiya and asked "what's the mission?" Naruto danced about Jiraiya and asked the same question over and over again. "Tell me please."
"Wait till tomorrow" Jiraiya said "for now go and rest because it could be a long as mission."
"I do not need to fucking sleep" Naruto said "I am not tired" Naruto danced about Jiraiya and then said "Come on tell me pervy siege."
"I SAID DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Jiraiya shouted "and from now on you can call me master Jiraiya."

naruto spent the next ten minutes trying to get what mission he was about to go on. "Naruto leave the old man alone" Sasuke said "we just trained for several hours and you need to rest."
"Okay your right" Naruto said "I am tired" He yawned and then pass out on the ground asleep. Both Sasuke and Jiraiya shook their heads and then laughed at Naruto Sprawled on the ground. "Can yous shut the fuck up please I am trying to sleep" Naruto said without opening his eyes.
"Bite me" Sasuke said getting up and walked over to Jiraiya who was picking up Naruto off the ground and threw him over his shoulder. "God damn it how could he do that much?" Sasuke asked as they both walked down towards the edge of the forest. "he just has so much energy."
"I don't really know but I think it is from his determination to get stronger" Jiraiya said as they walked into the village.

As they walked through the village towards Naruto's apartment they saw the elders of the village walking down towards them. "Sasuke can you carry Naruto the rest of the way I think I know what these old windbags want" Jiraiya said slipping naruto off his shoulder. Sasuke nodded and walked off with Naruto over his shoulder.
"Master Jiraiya have you heard how the 5th Hokage died?" one the elders asked.
Jiraiya Nodded and then said "It is a sad day and I know what you are going to say next."
"We want you to be the new Hogake" the other one said "You can bring the Leaf back to province."
Jiraiya shook his head and then said "I am not the right man for the job."
"How?" They both said "You are one of the 3 legendary sunin. You are the strongest in the village."
"I know that I am but I am still not your man" Jiraiya said "but I know who is." Jiraiya raised a hand to stop the elders objecting.

Naruto was sitting at the ramen shop the next morning eating his usual breakfast when Jiraiya walke in. "Ready to go?" Jiraiya asked as he sat next to Naruto in the shop.
"I am not going" Naruto said "I want to train all day and all night." Naruto slurped the last of what was in the bowl before saying "I want to learn chidory(Spelling?)"
Jiraiya laughed and then drank deeply from a cup of Saki and then said "I know a jutsu that I can teach you that makes chidory look like chop sewy. But since you don't want to go I will teach it to Sasuke"
