A/N: Okay, second chapter. I'm going to try and make this a little longer than the last chapter. I'm getting all of these ideas at night, which means they are suckishly written. We've all been there, right? Well, I don't own Naruto. But I wish I owned Neji.

Chapter Two

Naruto cowered slightly as he stared at the man that had caught him in the house. He had long, white hair and a Hitai-Ite that had the sign for oil on it. He was wearing traditional clothes, and had a giant scroll strapped to his back. Down from the corners of his eyes to his cheeks were red strips of face paint.

"Looks like you finally found this place, eh?" he asked, his deep voice echoing in the empty house. "I wasn't going to take anything, I swear!" he cried. The man chuckled. "If you did, it would be justified. This is your parents house." he said. "How do you know?" Naruto asked.

The man chuckled again. "You don't know who I am, do you?" he asked. Naruto shook his head. "Come on. You can't stay here for long, or people will think you died." he said. "They'd rejoice." Naruto muttered, getting up. The man seemed to ignore that. He led Naruto out of the house and into the street. Most of the people gave him glares, but the man gave them glares back. They seemed to shrink at his presence.

Naruto didn't know who this man was, but he seemed to be on his side so he stuck close to him as he led him to an apartment on he other side of Konoha. The man pulled out a key and turned it in the lock. He pushed the door open and led Naruto into a large, slightly dirty, apartment. It had been hastily furnished, but looked comfy all the same.

"Sit down." he said. Naruto immediately complied. He sat down on the old couch. It was surprisingly comfortable. He looked at the man as he sat down in the chair across from the couch. He stared right back at him.

"Comfy?" he joked. Naruto nodded. "Alright. Now, are you wondering who I am?" he asked. Again, Naruto nodded. "Well, I'm the Toad Sannin, Jiraiya. I was the sensei to the Fourth Hokage. I was trained by the Third Hokage. And, do you know who else I am?" he asked. Naruto shook his head. Jiraiya leaned closer. Naruto's eyes seemed to sparkle with anticipation. He wanted to know and he wanted to know now.

"I'm you're godfather."

Naruto was sure his mouth had fallen to the floor. The Toad Sannin was his godfather? Who else was he related to?

"I can see by you're face that you had no idea." Jiraiya laughed. Naruto just that there. So many questions swirled around in his head. He chose one and voiced it.

"If you were my godfather, why did you leave me in the orphanage for the first four years of my life?!" he asked. "Now, now, don't get angry. I was on a mission, and I couldn't be here. In fact, I was out of the loop about Konoha for a lot longer than four years." he said.

Naruto suddenly felt ashamed. Jiraiya was on a mission and he had accused him of abandoning him. He looked down. "I'm sorry. I didn't know." he said quietly. "Hey, you had every right to assume that I had been lazy. I didn't exactly come to your rescue every time the villagers chased you around the village." he said.

Naruto looked up and smiled. That smile almost brought tears to Jiraiya's eyes. He looked exactly like Minato like that. But, he mentally shook that thought away. He didn't need tears at the moment, nor would he ever.

"Alright, since I'm your godfather, you're going to live with me, kay?" Jiraiya asked. Naruto nodded and smiled wider. But, as if a thought had just crossed his mind, he frowned. "But what about my parents house? What'll happen to it?" he asked.

Jiraiya thought for a minute. What could he do to preserve that house? It wasn't in complete shambles, but it wasn't in the best state ever. Then, an idea struck him. "Naruto, we can have the house fixed up and, if you want, we can move into it. Sound like a plan?" he asked. Naruto nodded enthusiastically.

"Well, first, I have to officially adopt you. Which means we have to go back to the orphanage." he said. "Um, about that…I got kicked out of the orphanage. I don't know why." Naruto replied. "Damn those bastards…Alright, then, I guess you can just immediately start living here." Jiraiya replied. "Um, can I get something first?" he asked. "What is it?" Jiraiya said. "That stuffed fox with the nine tails that I found in my baby room." he said.

'He's already attached to something like that? Well, he is four.' Jiraiya thought.

"Alright, we'll go get it. But, until that place is fixed up, no going near it after this, got it?" Jiraiya said. "Why?" Naruto asked. "It's not that stable. It could fall down on you." he replied. "Oh." he said.

Jiraiya got up and he and Naruto went back to the house. Naruto grabbed his stuffed fox and met Jiraiya in the living room. "Ready?" he asked. Naruto nodded and they went back to Jiraiya apartment. On the way back, Naruto yawned. "Tired, squirt?" he asked. Naruto nodded sleepily, clutching the stuffed fox. He leaned his head against Jiraiya, and yawned again.

Jiraiya sighed and picked him up. He was asleep within seconds. "Aw, that's so sweet!" Jiraiya heard a woman say. He turned his head and saw a young, well endowed woman looking softly at Naruto. "It's so sweet that you care for him so much. Most fathers I know wouldn't carry their sons like that." she said. "Oh, well, actually, I'm his godfather. His parents were killed when the Kyuubi attacked." he said, conveniently leaving out the part that Naruto was the Kyuubi container. "Aw, that makes it even sweeter! You better get home and put him to bed." she said, walking off. Drool slipped from the corner of Jiraiya's mouth as he carried Naruto back to the apartment. "I could get used to this parenting thing."

A/N: Gomen nasai! I haven't updated in forever! I think I explained this in my other story, but I got al computer privileges taken off of me because of bad grades and I couldn't get onto until recently, But, this is a continued story, and I will update more frequently. There is also a bit of perverseness from Jiraiya in this chapter, because he wouldn't be Jiraiya without it.
