Summary: After the sealing of the nine tails, Hiruzen Sarutobi became worried for the safety of its Jinchuuriki. Desperate to keep him safe, Hiruzen contacts a long thought deceased clan in the hopes of giving young Naruto a chance at a normal life. Now, fourteen years later, the Chunin exams are underway and a betrayal of epic proportions is in full swing. Caught between fighting off his insane student and keeping his village safe from invaders, Hiruzen must bring Naruto home, hoping beyond hope that he had become strong enough to help.
Chapter 1: Summon the Guardian
"Secure the gates! No one gets in or out!"
"Yes sir!"
The shinobi of Konoha were caught unaware, the betrayal of the Hidden Sound and Sand during the Chunin exams could not have come at a worse time, with two villages combining strength to attack from within the village walls, the forces of Konoha found themselves hard pressed to assemble an effective counter-attack.
No one, however, was caught more unaware than the villages leader, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sandaime Hokage of Konoha.
"Your insanity knows no bounds Orochimaru!" He bellowed across the rooftop he found himself trapped upon with his wayward student, a chakra barrier of some sort had been sprung up around them, preventing escape or rescue.
"Kukuku, only those blind to progress would call my brilliance, insanity, Sarutobi-sensei"
Orochimaru licked his lips in sadistic pleasure, his sensei had grown old and had weakened with time whereas he had only flourished, growing stronger over the years with every new jutsu he discovered.
Hiruzen recoiled slightly in disgust, what had happened to his student? What could he have done to prevent the monster that now wore his students face?
"I will not let you destroy this village my old student, I will protect them no matter what"
Orochimaru rolled his eyes heavenward at his sensei's useless determination, some people just didn't know when to quit.
"It's useless sensei, even if you defeat me, my forces will have already destroyed your village and my revenge will have been completed, face it, without help you can't do anything"
Hiruzen's determination seemed to wilt slightly when he heard this, how could he defeat this monster and protect the village? Subconsciously his hand came to rest upon a familiar golden necklace that hung loosely around his neck, a swirling whirlpool the same as the one that decorated the shoulders of his shinobi's flak jackets.
That's when it came to him, if he couldn't do it alone, then why not call for someone he knew that could help.
Looking up into the disturbing visage of his pupil, Hiruzen let a confident smirk grace his lips, this was sure to piss the snake charmer off for sure.
"That's where your wrong my misguided pupil, for no matter where I am, the will of fire provides!"
Ripping the pendent from his neck Hiruzen performed a set of lightening quick seals before slamming it into the tiled rooftop at his feet.
"Guardians of the black forest!"
Orochimaru attempted to interfere by thrusting a sleeve full of snakes towards his sensei, not wanting to risk his victory on the last ditch effort of a desperate old man.
A cloud of black smoke enveloped the rooftop obscuring his view of the Hokage. He couldn't tell if his snakes had hit the old man but when he tried to pull them back he found them unresponsive and as tight as stretched rope.
When the smoke eventually cleared, Orochimaru stood wide eyed as a figure of black chainmail armour, shaped to resemble a fox, stood holding the snakes in one clawed, gauntlet hand. The figure stood at a height of 5'10", just as tall as himself and stood from head to toe in a black armour not found amongst shinobi. A black helmet shaped like a fox's head covered their face and various bits of thick chainmail and armour plating covered the rest of their body. Three blades as dark as night protruded from each gauntlet hand and no other visible weapon was present.
What caught his attention the most however was the three black tails that swished calmly from side to side behind them and more so was the deep, blood red eyes that stared back from beneath the helmet.
"This isn't exactly how I imagined visiting you here old man"
Despite the threatening appearance and waves of power that rolled off him, he sounded surprisingly young and jovial.
Hiruzen thanked whatever god that had been listening when he prayed that this jutsu would work. Truthfully this jutsu hadn't been used since the time of the first Hokage and as such he wasn't sure if it would work first time.
"Neither did I Naruto-kun, but as you can see, I am rather desperate"
Orochimaru felt the grip on his snakes increase and could hear the painful hisses they gave off as a result.
"Want me to handle it?"
Hiruzen observed the young man critically, he had no doubt that he was powerful, he could feel it in the air, but this was his fight, he just needed his village safe.
"No, he is not the only enemy here today"
Both Orochimaru and Naruto, although you couldn't see it, looked surprised at this, surely Orochimaru was the more pressing threat?
Noting the look Hiruzen nodded tiredly, he had his reasons, as insane as they may seem.
"I need you to secure the village Naruto-kun, its safety comes before mine and this is my fight"
Naruto's armoured shoulders visibly slumped, this fight looked like it could of been fun, but the old man was right, the people came first.
"Fair enough old man, what are your orders?"
Orochimaru stared on in disbelief before that soon turned to angered frustration.
"Don't you dare forget about me! I will not be ig-"
His rant was cut off as Naruto pulled suddenly on the snakes, forcing the disturbed Sannin off his feet and flying forward into the waiting fists, claws retracted, of the armoured teen.
The hit landed square into his face, causing the missing nin to go lurching back into the opposite direction, skidding across the rooftop sending tiles and wooden splinters flying in every which way, his snakes disappearing in a painful burst of smoke.
"Quiet you, the sane people are talking"
Hiruzen sweat dropped slightly at the casual way in which he mocked one of the most powerful ninja to come out of Konoha.
"You were saying?" He inquired smoothly, wiping imaginary dust from his hands.
"Y-yes, I need you to go throughout the village securing all the major conflict areas, here in the stadium, the gates, the walls and the main road"
Naruto nodded before giving off a short, high pitched whistle. Stepping out of what appeared to be thin air, but was most likely an illusion, a large black fox covered in similar armour to Naruto, appeared by his side, three tails swishing behind it. It was as big as a horse and from what he could see, had thick muscles made for running and overpowering enemies hidden beneath its black armour.
"I'll keep the village safe old man, but I'm not leaving you without help"
Forming a single hand sign in his left hand, a group of red chains suddenly burst from his back before shooting into the tiled roof. Seconds later four screams of shock and pain ripped through the air as the members of the Sound Four were suddenly entrapped in the tight grip of red chains, the action causing the barrier surrounding them to fail and fall apart, allowing the Anbu in the area to appear by the Hokages side.
With a twitch of his shoulder blades the chains suddenly ripped through three out of the four assailants, leaving only one red headed female who was soon rendered unconscious by a quick lightning jutsu travelling through the chains.
When the Hokage looked questioningly at him, Naruto merely shrugged as the chains retracted back into his back.
"Just a hunch, but going by her hair and the feel of her chakra, I'd say she's Uzumaki by blood"
Mounting the giant fox by his side, which Hiruzen only just noticed was saddled, Naruto gave a quick salute before nudging the fox into jumping into the surrounding stands where most of the stadium fighting was happening.
Hiruzen gave a tired sigh as his eyes finally rested upon the form of his student, struggling to pull himself free of the rubble that had encompassed him when he'd landed.
"This ends today"
When Naruto and his fox companion had come crashing into the stadium stands hacking and ripping into whatever Sand and Sound ninja they could find, the ninja of Konoha had at first been weary of their arrival, that soon changed when Naruto let loose an uncountable amount a chains from the palms of his hands that instantly shredded the invasion force in one fell swoop, leaving nothing put mutilated corpses and those with gruesome wounds screaming into the air.
Happy that he had cleared this section of the arena, Naruto retracted the chains and approached a silver haired, one eyed Jounin that looked to be giving out commands.
"The Hokage sent me, I've taken down the barrier and reinforced him with Anbu, what's the condition of your forces?"
The Jounin gave him at first a suspicious look before casting his gaze to what appeared to be the Hokage and a group of Anbu fighting off a solitary, yet enraged looking, Orochimaru.
Taking the scene as proof enough, the Jounin relaxed his stance and took a head count of those around him. Seeing their commander relax around the stranger, the rest of the ninja relaxed as well before tending to any wounded friends and allies in the area.
"We have a few wounded but not too many, we can still fight"
Naruto nodded contently before offering his hand out in a shake.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Captain of the Fourth Mounted Shinobi Battalion, Sixth Division, Uzumaki clan"
The Jounin raised an eyebrow at the long title before accepting the hand with his own.
"Jounin Kakashi Hatake, Jounin sensei of team seven"
The two gave a single shake of hands before returning them back to their sides.
"The Hokage has instructed me to help in reinforcing certain areas of the defence forces, I'll need a few Konoha shinobi to help prevent any friendly fire on your end"
"Very well, however I myself must attend to other matters, two of my students have just taken off after a not so stable Sand Genin team and I'd like to ensure their safety"
Naruto raised a non-visible eyebrow at this, seriously, what was it with bad guys and being psycho? Why can't there ever be a sane bad guy? Something in the back of his mind told him that the two go hand in hand but he shrugged it off to give his solution to the dilemma.
"I can send a few people to help out in your stead, your needed here more than there"
When Kakashi looked to retort that from what he had seen, there was only one of him, Naruto let out two short, high pitched whistles that summoned six other mounted shinobi by his side, also seemingly from thin air, these shinobi however wore dark grey armour instead of black as did their foxes all of whom only seemed to possess two tails instead of Naruto's three.
"Three of my men will help your students, the other three will help secure the arena, I can summon more if the need be"
Kakashi nodded dumbly having not seen Naruto's own entrance and even more shocked to find he couldn't track the sudden appearance with his now visible Sharingan eye. Shaking off the shock and calling out orders to the equally shocked ninja surrounding them, Naruto and Kakashi set off for the main northern gates whilst their subordinates set off to follow out with their orders.
Bouncing from rooftop to rooftop, Naruto, mounted on his companion, and Kakashi met no resistance in the form of any invading forces as they came upon the battleground that was the main gates.
"We'll need to clear the area before we can close the gates, that'll stop any-"
Kakashi's instructions were cut off as a giant three headed snake came crashing through the village walls a few miles away from where they stood.
"Ah, well, honestly did not see that coming" he said with a sweat drop.
"That things going to be a pain to deal with, I don't have the time to be playing dodge the giant poisonous snake, looks like I'll have to call in the Sixth, I've had them on standby since I was summoned"
Kakashi looked uncertain of this but asked anyway.
"Just how many Uzumaki shinobi are we talking about here?"
Naruto dismounted and began weaving through hand signs as he spoke, preparing to expel a lot of chakra in order to get the order to the right amount of people.
"Each Battalion has six hundred shinobi, that's a hundred per Division"
With a flare of chakra and before Kakashi could say otherwise, Naruto slammed his palm into the earth before a large amount of black smoke suddenly covered the rooftops in a wide radius around them.
The Sound and Sand shinobi nearby gave a cheer as they falsely believed someone had set the nearby buildings aflame and prepared to fight with renewed vigour before they were stopped dead by a multitude of strong killer intent coming from a hundred grey armoured, two tailed shinobi mounted on top of equally grey, giant twin tailed armoured foxes.
Naruto stood upright and brought his hands up to remove his fox like helmet. Slipping it off his head revealed a mop of unruly, spiky blonde hair, bright, crisp blue eyes and three faint whisker marks per cheek. His high cheek bones and full lips made him quite handsome to the kunoichi, on both sides, that turned to watch him.
Noticing the attention Naruto turned an oblivious look towards them, feeling slightly unnerved by the unknown, at least to him, emotions hidden not so successfully behind the look itself.
"What?"
Realising they'd been caught staring the shinobi disengaged from their current fights in an effort to regroup against the sudden army that had appeared in their midst, although those from Konoha, noticing Kakashi, regrouped behind him to take a breather.
Kakashi found himself dumbstruck, at first when Naruto had revealed his face he had been all too tempted to shout out to what he thought was his old sensei reincarnated, however with the faint whisker marks and more youthful appearance, he was soon sobered from this sudden lurch of hope and instead had been forced into a new realisation.
'It can't be, he's supposed to be dead!'
At first he had been suspicious of his name, there was something almost too familiar about it but the memory was just out of reach, that was until he'd seen his face and come to a gut wrenching realisation.
'That's sensei's son!'
Unaware of the inner struggle his Konoha counterpart was having, Naruto began dishing out orders to his men just as the enemy shinobi prepared to reinitiate the battle once again.
"Squad A, engage the enemy and clear the gates!"
Twenty-five mounted shinobi instantly leapt away to engage the approaching enemy with a ferocity that made the enemy hesitate in fear.
"Squad B, clear the main road! Squad C, engage the freaky snake before it flattens anymore buildings!"
Both squads separated into different directions to accomplish their objectives, becoming nothing but streaks of grey across the rooftops.
Turning back to Kakashi, who had finally returned to awareness, Naruto awaited instruction. Normally he'd make most of his own decisions but seeing as he knew next to nothing about this village it was probably his safest bet to leave some of the decision making to someone that did.
"Awaiting your orders Kakashi-san"
Blinking one solitary eye in wonder at the sudden disappearance of such a large force, Kakashi ran all he knew about the current situation through his head before coming to a decision.
"Can you tell me the status of my students?"
Naruto nodded his head and reached a hand towards what appeared to be a radio set attached to his left ear.
"Natami this is Naruto, sit-rep, over"
"Captain this is Natami, we have a problem sir this sand team appears to have a Jinchuuriki amongst them and we aren't equipped for this, relay instruction, over"
Eyes widening in sudden fear and then narrowing in determination Naruto signalled for the remaining squad D to prepare for combat.
"Natami this is Naruto, we're coming to reinforce, for now keep a distance and distract it from the village with long range jutsu, do you copy? Over"
The radio was silent for a moment before a new voice came over the radio, this one was masculine and gruff sounding.
"Captain this is Lee, Natami's unconscious but we heard you, commencing manoeuvre now, out"
Happy that his orders were being followed Naruto resituated his helmet on his head and comprised Kakashi of the situation before ordering his squad in the direction of the unstable Jinchuuriki, Kakashi and a few Chunin following closely behind.
Naruto's mind was a swirl of worries before a calming, feminine voice soothed him from the depths off his mind.
"It's ok Naruto-kun, we can handle whichever of the Biju are involved"
Looking down at his most trusted friend and battle partner, Naruto ran a thankful palm across her side through a gap in her armour where fur could be seen.
'Thanks Kura-chan, I know I can do it with you by my side'
Receiving a happy purr in response Naruto set his sights on the rapidly approaching forests and sounds of fighting ahead of them. Clicking his head set again Naruto addressed the squad members around him.
"Alright listen up, I want everyone to create a large circular perimeter around the Jinchuuriki and try to deflect it from escaping towards the village with a high level barrier, I'm going to engage it with Kurama and try to take it into custody, without killing them preferably, do not interfere, got it?"
A series of yes sirs was heard just as they entered the forest.
"Kakashi-san can you hear me?"
"Yes Naruto, I can hear you"
"Good, I want you and any Konoha shinobi with you to try and prevent anyone from interfering with our operation, we need to get this Jinchuuriki under control without problems, can you follow my orders in this situation?"
There was a pause as Kakashi seemed to consider this before his reluctant voice came back to life.
"Can you promise to ensure my pupils safety?"
Naruto sighed regretfully for a second before answering, his voice filled with what sounded like previous experience in this type of situation.
"I can't make that sort of promise, but I can do my damned best"
When Kakashi responded he sounded more sure of his decision to trust the blonde.
"Good, your realistic, this is all I ask then, I'll follow your orders Captain"
Satisfied with his answer Naruto gave the signal for his squad to get into position. Half a mile wide from the centre outwards none of the squad members could see each other through the trees but that was unrequired for the technique they were preparing. With a combined shout that rang through the forest a red swirling barrier of energy turned the battle scarred forest into a domed arena, nothing coming in, nothing coming out.
Kakashi and his ten Chunin watched on in wonder as the giant done came to life, the pure chakra behind the technique appeared with impressive strength.
Turning to his team he gave out orders.
"Alright split off into teams of two and patrol the outskirts of the dome, no one is to interfere and I want constant check-ins ever five minutes, understood?"
"Hai!"
Within the dome Naruto and Kurama came to a stop on a large branch overlooking the battlefield where a small red headed teen, obviously the Jinchuuriki if the waves of chakra were anything to go by, was constantly attacking the squad he had sent earlier with waves of bone crushing sand as the team itself tried to defend a trio of unconscious bodies, one a ravenhead and one a disturbing shade of pink with the third undoubtedly being Natami , from being squished.
"We need to do this quickly and wrap things up in the village, I suggest we over power him before he can release his Biju"
Looking down at his companion Naruto noticed the significant eye roll at his suggestion.
"You always want to overpower them, it's like your 'go to' remedy or something"
Naruto flicked his partners unarmoured ear in response receiving a satisfactory yelp in return.
"You'll pay for that later"
Chuckling at his friends idol threat Naruto dismounted and prepared for action, glancing towards his friend earnestly.
"Oh fine, just don't make a habit of this"
Noting the lack of response and over eager grin on his face, Kurama pulsed her chakra outwards before condensing it towards a seal on Naruto's stomach.
Naruto grunted at the sudden intrusion and steadied himself as he felt the power go to work. His three furry tails gained a fourth made of pure red energy that bubbled and hissed against whatever it touched.
Kurama sat back on her haunches happy with her work as she felt the other changes take place.
Under his helmet, Naruto felt his canines grow long enough to protrude slightly over his bottom lip and although he couldn't feel it, he knew his whisker marks were now more noticeable.
Satisfied with the extra bout of energy, Naruto pushed of the branch with a chakra enforced shove, sending him hurtling towards the deranged Jinchuriki who by now was half covered by demonically shaped sand.
Just as the red head thought he had the pesky weaklings cornered and was prepared to squish the life out of them, a powerful black fist smashed into his side sending him hurtling through a group of trees, smashing through each one before coming to an ungraceful stop at a particularly thick based oak.
Looking up into the eyes of his attacker the red head was frustrated to find yet another armoured fox man trying to disturb his fun, the only difference being that this one was black and felt powerful, yes this would do, this, would prove his existence!
Seeing the Jinchuuriki standing back to his feet, Naruto quickly ordered his team to exit the dome and seek out medical attention but not to interfere in any way.
Knowing the full extent of their injuries and trusting their Captain fully, the team disappeared as instructed.
Turning back towards his opponent Naruto tilted his head slightly as he observed the now fully standing Jinchuuriki.
"So, you gonna tell me your name or what red?"
The red head snarled at the nickname but answered anyway, if somewhat roughly.
"Gaara"
Naruto noted that the sand covering Gaara seemed to be slowly encompassing his body and as it did, his time before he had to face a full Biju grew smaller.
"Well then Gaara, gonna have to ask nicely that you stand down, the invasion is being fought off and I really don't want to have to hurt you"
That last part was apparently the wrong thing to say as Gaara seemed to scream/roar something along the line of existence before shooting towards Naruto almost too quick for him to see... Almost.
Dodging to the side Naruto narrowly avoided a sand infused fist meant to flatten him and flung his arms out to the sides where his black metal claws sprung to life above his knuckles.
Taking advantage of his opponents slower mobility due to such heavy sand, Naruto shot behind Gaara and slashed his right fist outwards allowing his claws, infused with chakra, to pierce through his sand leaving a slash that the Jinchuuriki's ultimate defence was too slow to deflect, but not too slow to retaliate.
Cursing to himself Naruto leapt back as a tendril of sand, hardened into a deadly sharpness, left a deep gouge in the armour of his right shoulder as it tried to skewer him.
Not prepared to give his opponent any time to recover, Gaara span around and with a wave of his arm sent flying multiple sand based shuriken that proved too many and far too close to dodge. Bringing his claws up to defend his chest and face Naruto grunted as they pierced through parts of his armour where it was thinner than other areas.
Frustrated and realising he know had even less time, Naruto decided it was time to end this game before it went too far. Flying through a set of seals he only ever used once before in a similar situation, Naruto prepared his most powerful anti-Jinchuuriki technique.
"Uzumaki Art: Black Forest Repression!"
Throwing his arms forward, palms facing his opponent, a huge amount of black chakra chains shot out from his back and his palms, flying faster than the eye could see.
Gaara attempted to dodge with his Biju enhanced speed and reflexes but found himself too slow when he suddenly ended up wrapped against a thick tree unable to move without them tightening around him.
He roared in anger as he felt the chakra of his tenant being forced back into his less than adequate seal with his own human chakra also being surprised. The sand he had become so used to jumping to his aid subconsciously, tried desperately to smash through the chains before he was rendered totally defenceless.
Naruto watched on confused as, when the Biju chakra, as well as Gaara's natural chakra, was surprised the sand seemed to take on a mind of its own as it took the shape of an unknown short haired woman who looked upon the now unconscious Gaara with utmost affection and love.
When Naruto stepped closer the figure turned towards him causing him to raise his fists ready for a fight.
The woman raised a placating hand and to his surprise, spoke.
"Please, look after my Gaara, he's a good boy, he just needs help"
Suddenly seeing the resemblance between the two Naruto came to a startling conclusion and with the utmost respect, one only granted to a few people, bowed deeply to the sand figure.
"I give you my word"
When he stood up straight again he was surprised to find no remnants of the woman, only a scattering of airborne sand and what sounded like a faint 'thankyou' on the wind.
Shaking his head at the strange occurrence, Naruto detached the chains from his palms and back, keeping them in existence and tied tightly around Gaara through will power alone and lifted the redhead over his shoulder to carry back towards the village.
When Kakashi felt as well as saw the barrier fall from his position at the perimeter, he knew the battle was over. Approaching where he felt Naruto regrouping with his squad he was surprised as well as impressed to see a for the most part unharmed Naruto carrying an exhausted and chain wrapped Gaara over his shoulder.
"Prepare to return to the village and someone contact the other squads and get me a sit-rep"
Naruto saw Kakashi approaching and settled Gaara onto the back of Kurama, just in front of the saddle before removing his helmet and offering a friendly smile.
"Mission accomplished I take it?" Kakashi asked with a relieved eye smile.
"Of course, as if there was any doubt" Naruto's slightly winded reply and the slight shake in his muscles that Naruto was well aware Kakashi noticed, left the two chuckling in the aftermath of a stressful day.
"Any news from the village Kakashi-san?"
"Orochimaru has been driven back after the timely arrival of the Sannin Jiraiya and most of the enemy force has either fled, been killed or taken into custody"
Naruto nodded in satisfaction before mounting Kurama just behind Gaara, ready for the ride back.
"What about the old man?"
Seeing the confused look on the Jounin Naruto decided to be more specific.
"The Hokage"
Unsure as to how to address the Captains less than respectful term for the villages most powerful ninja, Kakashi relayed what he had heard.
"I got word that he's been injured, Orochimaru managed to get in a glancing strike with his blade, it was covered in poison so the Hokage is held up in the Hospital whilst they try to find an antidote"
Naruto's face scrunched up in worry before he replaced his helmet and without another word nudged Kurama into a sprint towards the village, his squad following close behind.
Kakashi shook his head at the blondes many strange behaviours before signalling to his men to follow as well.
Half an hour later after securing his Division with their new orders and taking stock of wounded and losses, Naruto sat helmetless at the bedside of a man he'd only ever talked to through letters and photographs in the past, a man who had become an important figure in his life and a man who now sat pale and unconscious in a hospital bed, unresponsive to any attempts to cure his ailment.
"You've really done it now old man, imagine letting some snake eyed creep do this to you huh?"
Getting no response but not really expecting one, Naruto turned his attention to the man stood in the door way, someone the Hokage had mentioned and described a few times in his previous letters.
"Jiraiya-san" he said with a respectful nod, although something in his eyes told the Sannin it was more due to his position than him as a person, apparently a certain sensei of his had mentioned the less than respectful side of his habits.
"How ya doin brat?"
Taking the response as permission to be less formal, as was intended, Naruto let out a heavy sigh as his whole body seemed to sag in his seat and his tails fell limply to the ground.
"Better, I suppose, that sealing jutsu really took it out of me"
Jiraiya didn't respond at first, instead opting to bring a seat over to sit beside him whilst letting out an equally tired sigh as he dropped into it.
"Yeah that damned teammate of mine took it out of me too"
The two sat in a comfortable silence as they stared worryingly towards the fragile form of the village leader.
"Is there anything we can do?"
Jiraiya glanced at the young man next to him from the corner of his eye before reaching into his clothing to pull out a small piece of paper.
Naruto took the offered paper that turned out to be a picture of a young blonde woman who to Naruto seemed to radiate (if that's even possible for a picture) a powerful beauty that could only come from an experienced kunoichi.
"Making him a sugar daddy won't make him better, horny maybe, but not better" he deadpanned
Jiraiya guffawed in laughter at this, clutching his sides as he tried to control the aching sound.
Finally gaining control of his breathing he wiped a tear from his eye and clasped the boy by his shoulder whilst pointing at the picture.
"As funny as that would be to attempt, that my friend, is Tsunade Senju, my teammate and fellow Sannin and she also just so happens to be the best medic-nin in the world"
Naruto looked optimistic at this and asked the first question that popped into mind.
"So she can cure the old man right?"
Jiraiya sat back in his chair with a content smile on his face.
"Oh she can help him alright and you're gonna help me find her"
