"Demon Thinking"

Prologue

Two young warriors stood across from each atop one of two statues with a waterfall and river between them one was a boy about 13 years old with wild golden blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes, he wore an orange and blue tracksuit, a blue headband with a metal plate on the front and a leaf symbol etched into it.

The other was another boy around 13, he had spiky black hair with a blue tint, the front part of his hair hangs over his face as a set of bangs, he had a strange flame-like pattern seemingly covering a good portion of the left side of his body, his right eye was black with a white sclera, while his left was a yellow with a black pupil and sclera, he wore a navy blue, short-sleeved shirt with a high collar, white shorts.

Seeing the appearance of the person before him enraged the blonde. He then launched himself towards the dark haired boy fist cocked back, but just as he was about to deliver the blow the dark haired boy vanished like mist. As soon as he landed the blonde immediately searched for his opponent but instead he noticed the scenery began to shift and warp around him. The scenery changed into that of a strange world the only form land were floating stone platforms and the 'sky' was varying ranges of orange.

Suddenly eight silhouettes appeared around him. Each of the silhouettes raised an arm that soon became emblazoned with energy before they fired it at the young man.

Awaking with a start, Naruto took a minute to catch his breath he then quickly made sure he was alright. With a sigh of relief Naruto got out of bed and quietly made his way to the deck of the ship not knowing that a certain white haired pervert had woken up the moment he did and followed him. Jiraiya watched as Naruto walked over to the railing of the ship and stared out into the sea.

"Everything okay Naruto?" Jiraiya asked walking up next to his apprentice, "Just a bad dream." Naruto replied, "Wanna talk about it, might help." Jiraiya said leaning on the rail, with a sigh Naruto told his teacher everything that happened in his dream. After hearing the details of the dream Jiraiya had a serious look on his face which worried Naruto "Eh, Ero-sennin is something wrong?" he asked, looking to his student Jiraiya just smiled "I've told you before don't call me that!" he mock yelled grabbing Naruto in a headlock.

"Anyway I'm sure it was nothing but, a dream try not to worry about it." Jiraiya said "Now then since we're both awake let's get underway." he continued, Naruto nodded then put his hands in a cross sign "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" he called as six puffs of smoke appeared around him, when the smoke six exact replicas of Naruto were standing with him "Alright let's go." the Original ordered, as the seven Naruto's began preparing the ship to sail Jiraiya thought back to his conversation with Tsunade...

(Flashback)

Jiraiya stood looking out the window of the Hokage's office with a serious look on his face, which was beginning to worry his former teammate and Godaime Hokage, Tsunade Senju "The Council isn't going to like this..." she said with a sigh, Jiraiya just scoffed "I don't care if they like it or not, Naruto is no longer safe in the Elemental Nations." he said, "...but, where else can he go?" she asked sadly, "Well I can think of two places I could take him, one would be..." "NO..." Tsunade interrupted "...you're not taking him there, there's nothing for him in that place but, ruins and pain." she said lowering her head till her eyes were shadowed, Jiraiya just sighed at this "Well the other option would be to take him Sarutobi-sensei's old friend." he said turning back to the window, "You mean..." Tsunade started, but she stopped when saw that Jiraiya's eyes had hardened just before he rounded and flashed through several hand signs Hari Jigoku(Needle Hell) he then fired several strands of hair into the ceiling, Tsunade then jumped up and shoved her fist through it and pulled a cloaked ninja with a plain white mask out and throwing him to the floor. "Who are you?" she demanded grabbing him by the collar, the mysterious ninja instead drew a tip-less tanto out from his cloak and attempted to stab the Hokage only for Jiraiya to grab his wrist and snap it.

The Toad Sage glared at the figure before seeing something just below the edge of his hood. Removing the hood the two saw the symbol 'Ne'(Root) in the center of the forehead of the mask. Acting quickly Tsunade reared back before slamming her fist into his gut knocking him unconscious. "Anbu..." Tsunade called, four animal masked figures with the symbol of Konoha on their masks appeared "...take this person to Shizune, tell her to heal any life threatening wounds, then I want you to leave him in one of the training grounds that's not currently in use." she said, the Anbu nodded before setting out to fulfill their task. With a sigh Tsunade looked to Jiraiya "Looks like your leaving sooner than expected..." she said as she sat down at her desk again "...just make sure he gets there safely." "Right, see you later Hime." Jiraiya said with a smile as he vanished in a swirl of leaves.

(Flashback End)

And so the Toad Sage collected his young student and set out, after reaching the port town he rented a small ship for a few days and they set out onto the open water. After about an hour Jiraiya called out "Hey, gaki secure the sails and come here." he said as he pulled out a scroll and began to create the markings for a seal.

After a few minutes Naruto walked over to his teacher "What's up Ero-..." he started, but cut off when Jiraiya's fist connected with his gut before he was chopped on the back of the neck. Catching his now unconscious student Jiraiya sighed "Sorry about that gaki." he said, laying Naruto down Jiraiya then went through a few hand signs and said, 'Kuchiyose no Jutsu' before he slammed his hand on the deck of the ship creating a plume of smoke. When the smoke cleared there was a small red toad wearing a blue vest standing on the deck "Yo, what's up..." the toad said raising his webbed hand in greeting, "Hey Gamakichi, I need you take Naruto to Mt. Myoboku, but make sure he doesn't wake up and please hand this note to the boss please." Jiraiya said placing his unconscious student before the small toad and handing him the note, with a nod Gamakichi hopped on Naruto's stomach and made a hand sign causing them both to vanish in a plume of smoke.

After they had vanished Jiraiya place his hand in the center of the matrix causing their ship to disappear, he then caught the scroll and rolled it up before putting it in his vest. Jiraiya then waited a few minutes before he to vanished in a puff of smoke...

(Mt. Myoboku)

When the smoke cleared Jiraiya found himself in the home of the toads "Ah, Jiraiya-boya what brings you here?" Jiraiya looked down to see a green toad with white hair in a Mohawk-like style, very thick eyebrows and a small goatee. He was wearing a high collared black cloak. "Hi boss, look I need to get Naruto out of the Elemental Nations for a while so Tsunade and I decided it would be best to take him to Oji-san's for now." Jiraiya explained motioning to the unconscious blonde, Fukasaku looked uncertain at this "Are you certain this the best course of action Jiraiya-boya?" he asked, "Yes, with the Akatsuki and that old War-hawk Danzo around, Hime and I feel it's best that Naruto vanishes for a while." Jiraiya replied, "Very well..." Fukasaku relented with a sigh "...we'll prepare the transport seal."

A few minutes later Jiraiya wearing a white t-shirt, a blue vest with the symbol of Konoha in green on the back and on the left breast, black pants, and a pair of black sandals, entered the room with Naruto slung over his shoulder and a bag in his hand. "Is everything ready?" He asked walking over to the edge of the seal, "Yes, everything is prepared..." Fukasaku said "... you should arrive in the city near the water front." with a nod Jiraiya stepped into the center of the sealing array. As the seal began to glow Fukasaku said "Good luck." and Jiraiya just smiled as they vanished.
