CHAPTER TWO

I was deceived by love

"So. Are you three just gonna stand there and argue again?" asked Sarutobi.

Orochimaru crossed his arms together, "That's what losers do, I'm not included in the argument." he said. Tsunade looked at him and felt bad, Jiraiya walked up to him "Hey, watch your mouth there, snake boy!" pointing his index finger at Orochimaru.

"He-hey! Jiraiya! Stop pointing your finger at Orochimaru-kun." Tsunade said pulling Jiraiya away from Orochimaru, "Wha-? How can you still be in his side? Hellooo? He called you a loser." Jiraiya said.

"Sensei, carry on.." she said and tried to focus again, Jiraiya glanced at her ones more and looked at Sarutobi to listen.

"Ok," Sarutobi said, "Your lesson today will be an easy one, like I said at the start." he continued.

"Alright, alright, just tell us already!" Tsunade said, she was getting annoyed now.

"Well, it's very simple. You'll just need to take these bells from me" their Sensei said taking two bells out from his pockets.

"HUH?!?" said Tsunade & Jiraiya, Orochimaru looked at him with a confused look.

"Yes. It sounds simple, doesn't it?" said Sarutobi, "But it's not, believe me..."

"Why are they only two bells? There's three of us?" said the blonde-ninja.

"See those logs over there? If you don't get a bell from me, you'll be tied up to one of those and miss lunch, unfortunately.." he explained giving a glance at the three who still looked confused, "Shall we start?" he then said.

The three nodded. Sarutobi moved back about 10 metres away from them. "OK. I'll give you about an hour to try and get the bells from me. You can do or use whatever you like, like kunai knives, shurikens, senbon needles, whatever comes to mind.." he explained and then lifted one finger up, "Just remember, if you fail to get a bell from me, you'll be tied up to the log while we or I eat lunch. I said we because any one of you might not even get it from me. Haha." he laughed. Orochimaru frowned, so did Tsunade.

"Oh, Sensei, stop showing off! You know we can get them, it's so easy!" said the over confident Jiraiya. Sarutobi laughed, "If it was Orochimaru who said it or Tsunade I might believe it, but you? Oh Jiraiya, c'mon!"

"SENSEI!!!!" yelled Jiraiya, "Dare saying that again? You're just too shy to admit that I'm the best in your class." he said.

"Let's start? We'll see who's right eh, Jiraiya?" Sarutobi sounded like he was challenging his student. Jiraiya nodded stared the two bells who were held by Sarutobi in his right hand.

"Go!" announced Sarutobi, Orochimaru and Tsunade went to hide in two different places to think what they were going to do.

Jiraiya ran to Sarutobi and threw two small shurikens, Sarutobi dodged his attack. Jiraiya tried to grab one bell, but he failed and fell to the ground, rubbed his head and seconds later he saw Sarutobi's feet stood next to his head, "Hello there!" Sarutobi said, "I'm not finish yet!!" Jiraiya said with determination.

Tsunade hid behind a big tree, she smiled.

Orochimaru was behind the bushes, he stared closer to Sarutobi and took some senbon needles out, he smirked.

Some time later..

The white haired boy was tied on to a log. Tsunade smiling while holding her bell, Orochimaru behind Tsunade also with a bell in his hand.

"Look at that, isn't this like yesterday's training results? Deja vu...?" said Sarutobi teasingly, "Well, you two Orochimaru and Tsunade, you may eat this prepared lunches as a reward." he said handing Orochimaru and Tsunade the lunch boxes he made.

"Thank you." said Orochimaru and grabbed his lunch, sat down and leaning on the log in the right. "You're welcome... Tsunade?" Sarutobi said.

Tsunade put her bell down on the ground, she took her lunch from Sarutobi and smiled as for thank you.

After ten minutes of eating their lunches, and also having fun of teasing Jiraiya with their food, Orochimaru and Sarutobi left.

Tsunade was about to go when Jiraiya stopped him and said, "Wait there Tsu-chan!! Do me a favor?" he said.

"What?" she replied coldly

"Can you like untie me here? My arms ache and I'm really, really hungry, damn Sensei for this consequence." Jiraiya said.

Tsunade went behind him and took a kunai to break the ropes that's tied to Jiraiya's body. Jiraiya jumped with glee when he got loose.

"Woo! I can move again, Hahaha. Thanks Hime." he said and smiled, "Let's go, I'll walk you home.." he offered.

Tsunade looked at him and smiled, "No. It's fine, I'm not going home yet."

"Ok. Where are you going then?" Jiraiya sounded concerned.

"Going to the cemetery.." she said and bit her lip. She started walking off. Jiraiya followed her like a dog.

"Let me come with you." Tsunade looked at him and carried on walking, she was now staring ahead.

Cemetery:

Tsunade stood infront of two people's grave. Jiraiya looked at her, feeling sorry for her a little.

"I didn't know you visit them.." he said. "I do. Not often though, it just brings back memories.." she replied.

"Life's not fair, you now that right? You've lost your parents too.." she sat down with her knees up and below her face.

"Life is supposed to be unfair, that's what my father used to say to me. You're still lucky though." Jiraiya sat down too. Tsunade looked at him with confusion on her face.

"Hehe. You've still got your Grandfather and Grandmother, and Nawaki's there too." he explained, Tsunade understood him, after him saying that, she's the one who's feeling sorry for him now.

"What's with your face?" he asked her, he lifted her chin up.

"I'm sorry for my attitude towards you... You're really a pain a lot of the time, that's why, but I don't always mean what I say." she said.

"I know Tsunade-chan. Hehehe. Can we go, I'm hungry." he was begging her, "Come. Let's go to that tasty Ramen shop, I'll treat you." said Tsunade nicely and stood up. She helped Jiraiya and they walked to Ichiraku's.
