Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Sonic the Hedgehog.


"Hey Naruto! What cha doing?" Sonic asked.

"Nothing much Sonic, I'm just going to see what would happen if I merged a bijudama with a chaos blast."

"Nice idea! But is there any specific reason you're aiming it towards the Hokage monument.?" A nine year old Naruto smirked.


Jiraiya of the legendary Sannin was concerned, very, very concerned. The man had only recently been doing his daily routine: wake up, peep on the girl's hot springs, get beaten into a bloody mess, and repeat the same actions over and over again; but today, after getting beaten for the fifth time, he had been confronted by one of the Hokage's personal ANBU. If that hadn't been concerning enough, then being informed that there was a dire emergency in Konoha made it all the more worrisome.

At first Jiraiya had just assumed that the Third had wanted to pre-order the next issue of Icha-Icha, once he had actually arrived in Konoha, he realized that he had been dead wrong. Something had happened and it had been a sight of witch he would have never thought of or even expected to see and any thoughts of peeping left in his mind, was gone. This was most definitely a dire emergency.

The thing that gave the village hope and brought it great pride and respect, the monument that had the faces of all the Hokage placed on it was simply… Gone… There wasn't a trace of it left.

Without saying a word to the ANBU, who had escorted him to the front gate of Konohagakura, Jiraiya ran to the Hokage's office as fast as he could. When he got there he was in for a surprise.

"Come on Jiji! You can't really believe that I did that, can you?!"

The legendary Toad Sage blinked, the kid in front of him, being bound by seals in the Hokage's office was the spitting image of Minato. So, this was Jiraiya's godson? This was Naruto?

"Now Naruto-kun, I never said that you did it. However, you were found at the location of where the attack had been fired."

The Sannin's sensei, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had suspected that Naruto had destroyed the Hokage monument? That wouldn't be possible, unless he was using the Kyubi...

Jiraiya coughed, gaining the attention of the two other people in the room. He needed to check on the seal, if the Kyubi had been influencing Naruto in any way he would be able to tell.

"Ah! Jiraiya, it's good to see you here. There has been an emergency and I would like you to check up on something." The old man went straight to the point, which was somewhat concerningm Hiruzen didn't even say hello!

"Alright, I understand what you want me to do, if the midget blond gaki in the room has anything to do about it." To be honest, the Gama Sannin had expected his godson to jump up and start shouting about how he wasn't a 'midget' and then start going on a rant on how he wanted to be the best Hokage in history.

It wasn't what he got, what he got was a burst of raw killing intent that seemed a lot like the Kyubi's but on a lesser scale and obviously he was the only one in the room who felt it. After all, if he wasn't the only one that had felt it then the Anbu in the roof would have jumped down and restrained the blond haired Uzumaki. Jiraiya had a closer look at Minato's son and winced, how had he not noticed it when he had first entered the room? How had anyone not noticed it?

His appearance was bad enough: dirty, greasy, untamed short blond hair that was something everyone would have had to have noticed, but then again they could have just brushed it off. Believing that Naruto had been playing in dirt and hadn't showered. Jiraiya would have believed that as well, that was, if he hadn't took in every single detail of the boy. He wore an orange jumpsuit that was in the same condition as his hair. Again, it could be that he had simply been playing in the dirt and didn't get the chance to shower. Again, Jiraiya didn't, couldn't believe that theory, not after seeing the boy's face. There were six fox-like whisker markings, three on each of his cheeks, making the confused smile on the blonds face look all the more believable in a cute way. But then there were his eyes.

'The eyes are the windows to the soul' Jiraiya had heard that more than once, but he could never tell if it was true or not. He still didn't know, and doubted he ever would but he knew one thing was for certain; those eyes, so full of distrust, pain, sadness and anger didn't belong on the face of a nine year old. What made it worse? Those eyes were screaming something, so loud that Jiraiya could swear that he could actually hear it and it seemed that Naruto could tell that the Sannin saw those emotions and, the blond did the only thing he could think of doing, he opened his mouth and mouthed what his eyes had been saying; "Save me."

Jiraiya had to do something. "Okay, Old man. I'll check up on you-know-what, but can you and your Anbu please leave the room? You know I'm not good with people watching my methods, unless it's a hot lady that is."

It was a lie, but it got the old man and his Anbu out. Now to find out, was this still Naruto or the Kyubi? Honestly, he hoped for the later. He hoped that it wasn't Naruto he was seeing with the eyes that no one his age should ever have but he knew deep down that he was wrong.


Finished!

Yeah i know, long time no update... I've had a lot going on the past couple of months and haven't had the time or will to write. Also, i wont be updating as frequently as i had been a couple of months ago, things aren't going to well. But i fully intend to continue writing my stories and seeing them through to the finish! Even if it takes me longer to update.

Also, i know that this was a short chapter and like i said, a lots been happening. But also, i had a lot of trouble writing this chapter. My mind went blank about how to write Jiraiya meeting Naruto. But luckily i have a few chapters planned out so the probability of me having such troubles is going to be lower.

Special thanks to my beta, Toshiro of the Eternal Dream for staying my beta and helping me out, even after my couple of months absent!

And so, if you have anything you want to say, any suggestions or anything else, please feel free to tell me!
