She's gonna be my beta for this story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I only own the plot, or do I? Yeah I do.

Back in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heyday as the Third Hokage, he took on three apprentices. Those three were Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya. The three trained together and became one of the most powerful teams in all the land. They became known as the Sannin. Orochimaru became the Snake Sage, Tsunade the Slug Sage, and Jiraiya the Toad Sage. You might be wondering, where are they now? Well, corruption seeped deep within Orochimaru, and went rouge in search of power. Tsunade went M.I.A after losing her lover, Dan, during the Third Shinobi War. Jiraiya became known as the self-proclaimed "Super Pervert" and has been doing "research" for his novel, Icha-Icha Paradise. Said "Super Pervert" is strolling along a path near Konoha now. Let us go to him now!

Jiraiya was walking down a dirt path near Konoha, not knowing or caring where he was going. He could see the gates, but didn't dare go near them. His pupil, Minato Namikaze, was the Fourth Hokage until the Kyubi attacked 8 years ago. Minato sacrificed himself to seal the demon into his newborn son, as a newborn was the only person that could survive the sealing.

'It's a shame. He died so young.' Jiraiya thought.

As Jiraiya was walking down the path, he heard noises that resembled fighting. Jiraiya decided to investigate and went over to where he heard the fighting. What Jiraiya saw filled him with anger.

Four villagers were attacking a harmless kid in an orange jumpsuit. If you don't know who I'm talking about, you're an idiot. Naruto Uzumaki, an eight-year-old living in Konoha, proclaiming to become the next Hokage. The villagers despised him with every fiber of their being.

Why, you ask? Well when Minato had to seal the Kyubi into a newborn, for reasons we've previously discussed, that newborn was Naruto. Many villagers saw Naruto as the Kyubi reborn, but could not flat out tell him because of Hiruzen's law after being forced out of retirement to take over as the Hokage.

'Do they know who they're attacking?' Jiraiya thought angrily as he clenched his fists.

"P-Please! Just let me go! I didn't steal anything!" Naruto pleaded to the four.

"Yeah right! Of course the demon would try to weasle his way out of stealing our money!" one of the men shouted.

"I swear, I didn't steal anything!" Naruto said with fear cleary showing in his voice.

"Let's just beat it out of him!" one of the four said before pouncing on Naruto and beating him senseless. Jiraiya clenched his fists in anger to the point where blood began to seep out of his hands.

'How dare they attack Minato's kid! Why doesn't Hiruzen do anything about this?' Jiraiya thought with rage clouding his judgment. It took all of Jiraiya's will to not go out there and murder each attacker. Jiraiya felt fear for Naruto as one of the attackers pulled out a kunai.

"This is for everybody you killed, you filthy demon!" the man with the kunai shouted as he raised the weapon, only to be stopped by one of his fellow attackers.

"Wait! We can't kill the demon! The Hokage favors him and will have our heads if we kill the demon!" the man reasoned.

"Yeah, you're right." the other man said as he dropped the kunai. "He's bleeding enough; he'll be dead and Lord Hokage won't notice until it's too late." The four men than left quickly, leaving Naruto with multiple injuries.

Jiraiya waited until the four left to come out of his hiding spot to tend to Naruto.

'Shit! He's really hurt. I don't think I'll be able to help him very much.' Jiraiya thought as he healed Naruto as best he could.

"It'll hold for now." Jiraiya said to himself as he picked up Naruto and began to leave, but a small rustling followed by a small girl running out of the bushes stopped him.

"W-Wait! Wh-where are y-you taking him?" the small girl asked.

"To get healed. I know someone that could help." Jiraiya explained.

"W-will he c-come back a-after he's healed?" the small girl asked, clearly concerned about Naruto.

"I don't know." Jiraiya responded. "What's your name?"

"I'm Hinata Hyuga. I-It's nice t-to meet you." Hinata said.

"My name is Jiraiya. Don't worry about your boyfriend, you'll see him again." Jiraiya said reassuringly to Hinata.

The comment made Hinata blush intensely, causing her whole face to turn red. Jiraiya jumped away, leaving Hinata a blushing mess in the forest.

(a few hours later)

Jiraiya was traveling as fast as he could to get Naruto to safety and healed. Naruto had both legs broken, a torn pectoral muscle, a concussion, lacerations in his torso, and internal bleeding. Jiraiya managed to fix one of the broken legs and a few of the lacerations, but the rest he knew of only one person that could do the job right.

It was dusk as Jiraiya set Naruto down for a break.

'Man, what does this kid eat?' Jiraiya thought as he felt the relief of not carrying the eight-year-old blonde. Jiraiya pulled out a piece of paper and began to write. He finished and summoned a messenger toad. A loud poof was heard as a toad appeared.

"I need this to get to Hiruzen." Jiraiya said, handing the note to the toad. The toad nodded and went off.

"Let's get going." Jiraiya said as he picked up Naruto again and leaped off.

(with Hiruzen)

The Third Hokage was sitting in his office, currently in battle with one of his greatest enemies. Paperwork.

'Kami, this is so boring! How did I handle this back then?' Hiruzen thought as a toad appeared in his office.

"Are you Hiruzen?" the toad asked. Hiruzen nodded and the toad handed him a letter. The toad then poofed back to Mt. Myõboku.

'What do we have here?' Hiruzen thought as he opened the envelope.

Dear Hiruzen,

I was walking around Konoha, when I saw four villagers attacking Naruto. You know that Minato was like a son to me, so when I saw the four attack Naruto, I had to help him. I didn't get involved, but after they left I immediately healed him as best I could. After I get him healed, I'm going to train him for the Genin exams. It's what I feel as the right thing to do for Minato.

From your student,

Jiraiya

Hiruzen sighed as he turned around to look out the window.

'Good luck, Jiraiya. You're going to need it.' Hiruzen nodded as he closed his eyes and smirked.
