A/N:

And we're back again for another chapter of The Wandering Savior of the Worlds. And in the previous chapter. We found out that Jiraiya doesn't remember anything... or does he? Well, read on to find out. I mean, it was pretty obvious. He did say he never heard of Theramore. Meaning that he doesn't.


Chapter 2: Mysterious Plots

"Exactly what i've been pondering about." The man replied. This confused Jaina even more. "I don't remember anything at all." The man added.

Silence.

"What!? That's just..." Jaina started. But her frustration got the better of her and she just walked away. The man stared at her until she was completely out of sight.

"What's wrong with her?" The man, Jiraiya asked.

"Well, Lady Proudmoore was probably hoping you know something about the missing fishermen. But the fact that you don't remember anything probably frustrated her." The man in white said.

"Oh well." Jiraiya said. He started to get up before they protested. "I'm perfectly fine. I just wanna thank Lady Proudmoore."

"Please, rest up a little. We can't have you walking around like that." One of them said. It was then that Jiraiya noticed that... almost every inch of his clothes is torn up and it a number of holes on it. And blood. Jiraiya laughed. "Okay, let me change. Can I have some privacy?" The hospital personnel nodded and left the room. He watched them until he was sure they couldn't see him. 'Alright. Where the hell am I? Theramore? I'm pretty sure i've never heard of such a place. And, why does this place seem like it's built on the medieval times or something!' He thought to himself. Not being able to think of an answer himself, he just gave up and decided 'I'll ask Proudmoore-sama herself then.'

He grabbed the scroll that was put near him and summoned his clothes. Changing into them until he was comfortable. He then started towards the door, opening it, he noticed that the three that was with Lady Proudmoore were waiting for him. He smiled nervously. "Not trying to leave or anything." He said before throwing a smoke bomb on the ground. The three started to cough, and after a little while, they noticed the man was gone.

"Alert the guards!" One of them barked.


Meanwhile...

"Now, I need to find Proudmoore-sama." He thought aloud. He is now in the city, and is pretty much lost. Everything is so unfamiliar to him. And something was really off. He approached a vendor. "Excuse me, can I ask where I can find Lady Proudmoore around here?"

The vendor looked up from what he was doing and smiled. "Oh, you must be a tourist. Well, you can find her at Theramore Keep."

"Okay, thanks." Jiraiya said. He then jumped up at one of the towers and surveyed the surrounding the area. He then noticed a keep of sorts far off. 'It must be there.' He thought to himself and started to jump rooftop by rooftop until he reached the keep. He sneaked by the guards, trying to find an entrance, he found an open window. He entered as quietly as he can, he then closed the window and looked around the room. 'It seems like a sort of royalty room or something...' He thought to himself. Suddenly, something cold touched his throat. An ice blade.

Jiraiya smiled. "Hmm, you're quite good to be able to sneak up behind me like that Proudmoore-sama."

"It's as I thought... Have you come to assassinate me? Or are you a spy of sorts?" Jaina asked threateningly. Silence. "Speak!" She shouted, she pushed the knife harder on his throat, drawing blood.

"Hot-headed huh." He commented. "I am no spy. I'm no assassin either. I just wanted to talk to you."

"Talk to me? By sneaking into my room?" Jaina countered.

"I didn't mean to sneak into your room." Jiraiya explained. "I was trying to get in the keep, and since I figured the guards won't let me in because I bet those three alerted them that I left the hospital."

"Those three?"

"Yeah. The ones who were with you in the hospital."

"Oh."

"Yeah, so anyways..." Jiraiya said before clearing his throat. "Would you mind getting that thing away from my throat?"

"No."

"Okay." He simply said. "So, I wanted to ask you this one thing." He told her.

"What is it?" Jaina asked curiously. She seemed a bit calmer than she was moments ago.

"Where exactly am I?" He asked.

"I told you before. You are in Theramore Isle. One of the Human Kingdoms of Azeroth." She answered.

"Azeroth?" Jiraiya asked, confused. "Anyways. This would seem like it would be a very... very long conversation, so can we go somewhere more comfortable?" He asked. "Oh and please, put that thing away."

"I can't do that."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Then I have to force you."

"Yeah sure." Jaina replied with a laugh. But her laughter stopped when she felt something in the back of her neck. "A mirror image? Impressive. I didn't know you can do such a thing. But we all know that mirror images can't do actual damage." Jaina said with a smirk.

"Except that this is no "mirror image". It's a Kage Bunshin, or Shadow Clone. Want proof that it can do damage?" Jiraiya asked. "Let's start with that lamp over there." He said. The clone threw a sort of knife, a kunai to be exact, at the lamp, breaking it. "Now, we can either settle this the easy way or we can fight it out with nothing good coming out.

"Well then, let me ask you a question first." She said, frustrated.

"Shoot."

"Who are you? You seem to remember a lot for a guy who got amnesia." She asked, confusion clear in her voice.

"First, put this ice blade away." He ordered. Jaina reluctantly did so. He suddenly struck a pose. "I am the one who makes the girls fall! The Great Gama Sennin of Konohagakure! Jiraiya-sama!"

At this point, Jaina couldn't contain her laughter. Jiraiya, of course, took notice of this and frowned. "What's so funny?" He asked.

She completely ignored him for a few seconds. "Nothing. Let's go to the gardens."

And so they walked to the gardens, and they both sat on a bench, the sound of birds both gave them a calming feel. Jaina turned towards Jiraiya, who was looking at the sky.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" She asked. Jiraiya looked at her, and for a moment, he was completely stunned. The wind made her beautiful silver hair fly. Her beautiful face was facing him, and he was in awe. He was staring at her for a few seconds before she asked again. "Hey?"

"Oh, sorry. I was lost in your beauty." He told her. Jaina raised an eyebrow. "Nevermind that. Tell me all about this "Azeroth" and this place."

"Well..." She started. "Where do I start. Azeroth is the name of this planet. And we-"

"Planet!? What!?" Jiraiya exclaimed. The guards nearby glanced at them, but Jaina shunned them.

"Please stop yelling." Jaina told him.

He apologized before continuing. "What do you mean by "planet", are we not on Earth?"

"I don't really know what you're talking about. But if that's the case. My guess is that you are not from this world, correct?" She asked, confused.

"I think so." He replied as he looked down on the ground. "How did I get here?" He thought aloud. Then he suddenly sensed something. 'There's someone else here. One... two... three... wait. There's five of them. And they just suddenly appeared. Such unnatural chakra. It's leaking with malice.'

"Hey, Jiraiya?" Jaina broke his train of thoughts. "Were you listening?"

"Sorry. I just-" A knife suddenly pierced his shoulder, and another and another. Jaina immediately went on full alert, five orcs appeared near her, surrounding her.

"Who are you!? I demand an answer!" Jaina said.

"You don't need to know. After all, you'll be a sacrifice to Lord Kil'Jaeden anyways." One of them said. The orc threw a dagger at her, but she dodged it.

"Lord Kil'Jaeden!?"

"Oh, did that slip out?" The orc said menacingly. "Nevermind that. You'll be dead before dawn." Suddenly, someone kicked him away, so hard that he flew to one of the trees.

"Are you alright Jaina-sama?" The man asked. It was none other than... Jiraiya himself.

"Wait, I thought you were..." Jaina started. But then she noticed that there was a log full of knives to where he was supposed to be. 'Amazing. What kind of spell is that?'

"Stand back, Jaina-sama." Jiraiya told her. "Now then. Shall we start?" He said as he faced the five, cracking his knuckles.

"Fool. You think you can take us on?" One of them said. Then they all started to transform into something else. A winged demon.

"Dreadlords!?" Jaina exclaimed, alarmed as to why there were dreadlords here.

"Dreadlords huh..."

"They are the Lieutenants of the Burning Legion. A vast demon army that attempted to destroy Azeroth years back!" She explained.

"That makes this even better." He said with a smirk.


The seven of them faced each other, it was Jiraiya and Jaina versus Five Dreadlords.

"It would be unfair if it was like this. So yeah..." Jiraiya said, doing the shadow clone sign, three Kage Bunshins showed up nearby. "Let's go!" The four of them all yelled. They charged at the dreadlords. One of the clones was immediately taken down, while the other three were locked in a stalemate. Meanwhile, the real one was in battle against the leader of the five.

"Why are you here?" He asked threateningly.

"You who's not from this world shouldn't meddle with their affairs!" The dreadlord said as he punched him to the face. Or at least, tried. Jiraiya dodged the punch and kicked him hard on the chest. He crouched in a fetal like position, and suddenly Jiraiya's hair hardened. "Kebari Senbon! (Hair Needle Senbon!)" He yelled. Thousands of hair needles launched towards the stunned dreadlord, piercing his armor and stunning him. Jiraiya stood up, starting weaving hand seals, Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger. "Katon: Endan! (Fire Release: Flame Bullet!)", he spit out a fireball, hitting the dreadlord and burning him, and the nearby trees. Two of the dreadlords are now running at full speed towards him.

One of them stopped midway, and casted a spell. "Carrion Swarm!" He shouted. A horde of bats flew towards Jiraiya, who jumped out of the way. The second dreadlord attempted to claw his face off, but he avoided it. A loud sound was heard, almost like a screech.

Jaina took notice of this and her eyes widened. 'Jiraiya is gathering huge amounts of energy on his hand!' Then she noticed he formed a ball exactly at the size of his hand. 'That ball is purely made out of energy! And it's... swirling violently!'

"Rasengan!" Jiraiya yelled. He shoved the ball of energy to his opponent's stomach, making him howl in pain. He flew towards one of the trees, snapping it in half.

'Amazing!' Jaina thought to herself. She suddenly started to admire him for some reason. 'I'm gonna ask him about that after this.'

Jiraiya then formed two seals, namely: Boar → Tiger. "Doton: Yomi Numa! (Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld)" and slammed both his palms on the ground. Suddenly, what looks like some sort of mud emerged from under the dreadlords, effectively immobilizing them. He looked at Jaina, who has her jaw on the ground.

"Who are you exactly?" She asked, awed.

"Let's detain them first or something." He replied.

"Right. Guards!" Jaina yelled. At least thirty guards came running at them.

"Lady Proudmoore! Are you alright?" The captain asked.

"Yes, I am. I-"

"Get on the ground! NOW!" The guards were yelling at Jiraiya, who was not close to being compliant to their "requests". And instead had his arms crossed and was looking at Jaina.

"Fine. It's fine. Put those down." Jaina ordered. The guards looked at her, they were obviously confused. "Put those down. And instead, detain those dreadlords." She ordered. The guards were very reluctant up until she mentioned that there were dreadlords. They swarmed the dreadlords, but some were stupid enough and jumped into Jiraiya's jutsu/spell. Jaina face-palmed, Jiraiya sighed.

"Seal them first Jaina-sama. I'll release the jutsu after you do so." He instructed.

Jaina started to conjure intense frost magic, and froze all of the dreadlords in place. "This spell won't last. Hurry up and release yours."

"Kai!" He yelled. The mud started to dissipate, and the guards were finally able to move.

"Hurry up and imprison them." Jaina commanded. The captain then started to bark orders...


Moments later...

"Jiraiya." Jaina started. Jiraiya raised an eyebrow at her. They were sitting on the shore for quite a while now, just enjoying the sunset. The dreadlords they just captured refused to speak. "I haven't thanked you yet for saving me back there." She said with a smile.

"Oh." Jiraiya said with a nervous laugh. "Don't mention it. So, about our conversation-"

"First, why did you lie? Why did you say that you don't remember anything? What kind of spells do you use? What exactly are the "Legendary Sannin"? And what is Konohagakure?" Jaina barraged him with questions, one after another.

"Slow down Jaina-sama." Jiraiya told her. "Now, first. I lied for obvious reasons. Because I am a Legendary Sannin, many people usually try to come after me. So yeah." He answered. "Now, for the other questions..."

"I use "ninjutsu". Which means "Ninja Techniques" in english. So, I am, basically... A ninja. There are three main categories of Jutsu, Ninjutsu, which is what I mainly use, Taijutsu, which is basically hand to hand combat, and Genjutsu, or Illusionary Techniques, and I can't use those. The other types of jutsu I can use are Fūinjutsu, or Sealing techniques, and Senjutsu, or Sage Techniques." He started. Jaina seemed to be very interested, her eyes were locked into his, and was absorbing every bit of information.

"What's your strongest Jutsu?" She asked curiously.

"Well, I can't do it without being in Sage Mode. And I can't really be in that mode unless I do the Kuchiyose No Jutsu..." His eyes suddenly widened. He bit his right thumb, put the blood on his left palm, did some hand seals, and put his palm down on the ground. A symbol appeared right after he put his palm down, and a huge toad appeared. "Gamabunta!"

"Huh? Jiraiya?" Gamabunta asked. Jiraiya jumped off of him and landed right in front of him. The toad couldn't believe it. "You're alive!?"

"Well, yeah. How-"

Jaina started to shriek. "Jiraiya! WHAT IS THAT!? A TALKING FROG!?" She asked. She hid behind him, scared to death.

"Oh. Let me introduce you to him. He-"

"I am not a frog. I'm a toad woman!" Bunta yelled. The villagers were scared out of their minds and were running frantically around.

"Gamabunta, let's do this next time. Summoning you here is not a good idea." Jiraiya told him as he pointed at the scared villagers.

"Hmm." Bunta grunted. "What should I tell Fukasaku-sama and Shima-sama?"

"Tell them that I am alive. But don't let them tell Naruto... yet." He instructed. "I wanna tell him myself. I'll be staying here for a while. Something needs to be done here before I go back. And I'm not gonna go back until then."

"Hm."

"See ya." He said as he waved. The toad disappeared in a puff of smoke, and Jaina finally seemed to calm down.

"What was that!?" Jaina asked, still scared. "I hate frogs, and you decided to summon one."

"That was a toad, not a frog." Jiraiya replied with a sigh. "And that was the Kuchiyose no Jutsu, or summoning technique. So, anyways. My strongest jutsu is probably the Chōōdama Rasengan or Ultra Big Ball Rasengan. And of course, I can't show you that for obvious reasons." He told her. 'With the Kuchiyose No Jutsu, I can easily go back to Konoha by reverse summoning.' He thought to himself.

"Now, for the next question. The Legendary Sannin are basically three of the most powerful ninjas of Konohagakure. Hanzo the Salamander of the Amegakure named us that. The members are Tsunade, Orochimaru and me. That brings us to the next question... Konohagakure is a hidden village located in the Land of the Fire. A hidden village is basically a ninja village. There's one in almost every country." He explained. He noticed that Jaina was fidgeting. "What is it?" He asked.

"Can I... uhh... can you..." She stuttered.

"Just say it."

"Please teach me the Rasengan." Jaina finally said. Silence followed. Before Jiraiya broke it.

"No." He said with an exaggerated "x" sign with his hands.

"What!? Why?" She asked, disappointed.

"Tell me about the Burning Legion first, and about Azeroth. Just the important parts." He told her.

"Will you promise to teach me the Rasengan after that?" Jaina asked.

"Yes."

"Alright!" She celebrated. "So... The Burning Legion is a vast army of demons led by Kil'Jaeden, an eredar. They exist to destroy. It used to be led by Sargeras, one of the Titans, but he was banished into the Twisting Nether. Azeroth was attacked by the Burning Legion at least twice. We managed to fend them off each time. And if you're gonna ask if they are gonna return. It's not a question of "if", but a question of "when". And that very thought terrifies me. The lands of Azeroth is already torn apart by war. And I doubt that we will even stand a chance against them the next time they come back. And it seems that would be very soon. The dreadlords that appeared to assassinate me were but a warning. They must be plotting something..." She explained sadly.

Jiraiya sat next to her, and put a hand on her small shoulder. "I'll be there when the time comes." He assured with a sincere smile. Jaina smiled back, and within moments, she found herself lying on Jiraiya's shoulder, enjoying the sunset.


A/N:

Holee crap. I made another chapter for some reason. Hahaha. Well, there's chapter two for ya'll. The Burning Legion seems to be plotting something. The fact that they sent five dreadlords was quite suspicious. I mean... why would you warn someone if you're gonna invade them?

Anyways... leave a review, follow the story or favorite it if it deserves it. And i'll see ya'll in chapter three.
