I Don't Own Naruto!
Rise of Legend Chapter 2:A brother's defection
Tsunade and Jiraiya were walking hand in hand through the Konoha forest, finally heading back to their home. A small smile graced their faces as they strolled down the road in a comfortable silence. Both of them haven't felt so peaceful in a long while, whenever they were in this forest it was usually to depart for a mission, but today the atmostphere has completely changed. It was a wonder to them that they have never seen how grand and healthy the trees around Konoha was compared to the rest of the places they have been.
"It feels good to be back home", said Jiraiya in a relaxed tone whispered the man while he hugged Tsuande close to him with one arm.
"Home..." mumbled Tsunade as she stare at the direction of Konoha, she shifted her gaze to her new love and smiled, "Yes... it is home again", finished Tsunade as she leaned into Jiraiya's arms. The pair soon reach the giant gates of Konoha, as they stepped throught the gates, they surprised the gate keepers by their affectionate posture. Jiraiya and Tsunade then walked up to the gatekeepers with smiles on their faces. It was no surprise to them that the people of the village will react quite surprised about their new relationship, including the simple Chunin guards.
"Namikaze Jiraiya and Senju Tsunade reporting back from two week holiday", said Jiraiya in a professional tone as he handed them their passports and I.D.
The two guards became nervous upon seeing two of the most powerful Shinobi in Konoha up close. "H-Hai J-Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama", stuttered out the young man, fumbling a bit as he checked the passport's authenticity, "Okay, everything is clear, welcome home Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama."
"Thank You", said a happy Tsunade as she took her identification back from the Chunin.
The new couple were heading towards the Hokage Tower, still walking with their arms entangled; they attracted the attention of every person that passed them by. This was something the new couple have expected when they decided to not hide their relationship to anyone. It was not everyday when you see two of the sannin acting so affectionate with each other. Though many of the shinobi that passed by the lovely couple were not only surprised that the two were apparently an item, but also at the happiness displayed by Tsunade. They were used the scowl, permanently encased on the female sannin's face, which was replace with a large smile on here face, and eyes full of life.
It was true, Tsunade's expression was one that resembled a soon-to-be bride. In the past years Tsunade have not paid much attention to the village or it's citizens, now that she can see, she is very happy at how lively and happy the village is, she is also silently thankful that her grandfather's and grand-uncle's pride and joy had such prosperity. 'I know you both are very happy in heaven, Grandpa, Grand-Uncle'. thought the Sannin silently as she looked up at the Hokage Monument.
Jiraiya was also having a great time, he was walking down the street. His face was filled with pride and joy as he held the most beautiful woman in Konoha in his arms; some might even think that he was showing off. Jiraiya was enjoying the looks of surprise and jealousy that various men sent towards him, so much so that he even failed to see how happy the village was after the war. For the longest time, the streets of Konoha were mostly bare because of the villagers' fear of sudden attacks on the village, but just a few weeks after the war, the streets were filled with laughter and happiness.
"The village is really lively isn't it?", said Tsunade with a glad smile.
"Yeah, although it might seem extra lively in our eyes", smugly replied Jiraiya, obviously proud of their happiness, making Tsunade giggle in response.
The pair soon made it to the Hokage Tower and after treking up the stairs, they entered the building and headed towards the receptionist. The Hokage's receptionist had been working her position for a very long time. She was a woman with natural beauty that was in her early forties. Dressed in a formal pant suit, her long brown hair trailing down to her mid-back, with one bang covering one side of her forehead. Her name was Rena Hikari, and a smile came on her face when she looked up and saw Jiraiya and Tsunade.
"Hello Hikari, how are you today?, asked Tsunade with a smile. The Sannin and Hikari leads way back, as they had to visit the Hokage Tower very often when they were younger as their sensei was Hokage. The three members of team-Sarutobi made quick friends with Hikari, or for Orochimaru, an aquaintence.
"Oh, welcome home, I had a very good morning, and it seems that you are having a blast too Tsunade, and Jiraiya looks estatic", said a smirking Hikari as she eye-balled the position her two friends are in.
A tiny tint of red appeared on Tsunade's face as she happily repleid, "Yes, we are a couple now." said the blonde woman, making Hikari squeal and Jiraiya to rub the back of his head sheepishly.
"Oh my kami, I knew you two would get together, I always thought you two would make a cute couple", cried an excited Hikari as she clapped her hands together.
Jiraiya chuckled. "Thank you Hikari-chan", humbly said the male Sannin. "But getting back on topic, I believe sensei wanted to see us, he gave us quite a rush to get back to the village."
The smile was suddenly gone from Hikari's face, "Yes, Hokage-sama needs to see both of you for some disturbing news", said Hikari with a serious and sombre tone, surprising the other two as Hikari was very rarely like this. Jiraiya just nodded, and led Tsunade to the Hokage Office.
Hokage Office
Sarutobi Hiruzen, was known as the Kami no Shinobi, one of the most powerful Shinobi to ever live and was considered the strongest Kage of his generation. He was a shinobi that had been through three Shinobi World Wars, and had killed mutiple high class shinobi without batting an eyelash, But the legendary man was now extremely ashamed of himself...
Three days ago, Sarutobi and the Jonin counsel had been investigating a case that consisted of many children being kidnapped. he Hokage being afraid that it was other villages taking their potential future Shinobi, the case was classiflied as an s-ranked mission. After they members invilved in the mission followed the evidence to a hidden chamber within Konoha academy, the cause was revealed. The Hebi-Sannin of Konoha, Orochimaru, was the kidnapper. He was using the children to conduct gene splicing experiments and that was not all the evident suggested, they also showed that over the years, Orochimaaru had been kidnapping his fellow Konoha Shinobi and used them as human guinea pigs. He experimented on them hoping to develop techniques that would grant him immortality.
Sarutobi was ashamed for two reasons. One, was that he had trained Orochimaru since he was a child, and the man he turned out to be was partially his fault. Second, when the many disappearances were finally traced to Orochimaru, Hiruzen knew that it was his duty to kill him, but at the time, Hiruzen was unable to bring himself to kill his prized student for whom he had such high hopes for.
'Why am I so weak, I fully knew the implications of being Hokage, the safety of the village comes before evrything, and now I may have unleashed a catastrophy into the world..., I am so sorry sensei, depressingly thought Sarutobi, as he looked up at his teachers Hokage pictures.
Sarutobi was taken out of his stuppor when he heard someone knock on his office door. "Come in", said Sarutobi with a commanding voice.
Sarutobi's face has lightened up considerably when he saw who was at the door. His facial expression quickly changed to one of great surprise and happiness when he saw his two other students walk into the room with their arms entangled with each other. There were bright smiles on their faces as they looked over at their Sensei. "Hello Sarutobi-sensei, how are you this fine morning", pleasently asked Jiraiya.
"J-Jiraiya, are you and T-Tsunade...", stammered the anxious sensei.
"Yep, I finally got the her!" happily exclaimed Jiraiya with a true smile. Tsunade hugged Jiraiya closer and kissed him on the cheek, proving Jiraiya's claim.
Sarutobi happily walked over to his students and gave them a warm hug, "I am very happy for you both, you definitely deserve each other, and I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time Tsunade-chan", noted the Sandaime, very glad that his surrogate daughter was happy again. "I knew you would eventually manage to woo her Jiraiya", continued Sarutobi, earning him a cheeky grin from Jiraiya.
"Hehehe, Thank you Sensei...but lets get back to the point, I believe that you wanted to see us because something bad happened when we were gone." asked Jiraiya seriously.
With a sigh, Sarutobi sat back down at his desk, gesturing Jiraiya and Tsunade to sit down with him. "About ten days ago me and a jonin teams set up by the Jounin core was investigating an S-ranked mission." started the Hokahe with a sombre tone. "Someone was kidnapping children from various families and orhanages of Konoha, the missing numbered at 100", explained the Sandaime, shocking his audience. "The further we went into the case, the more information was found. The graves of several bloodline users were raided, their corpses were missing some of their bones, all of which, when done correctly, DNA could be extracted from it. The evidence eventually lead us to a hidden lab near the academy, and when we got inside we found numerous scrolls containing kinjutsu of all kinds", Jiraiya and Tsunade were becoming more disturbed and engrossed by the sudden information. "We also found that not only children were used to perform these experiments, multiple shinobi from Konoha that was apparently KIA was also being tested", further said Sarutobi as Tsunade gasped and Jiraiya to grind his teeth in anger. "From all the evidence, we have deduced that the person behind these acts is a Konoha Shinobi", said Sarutobi with a hardened expression, making his two students shake in anxiety. "Only one man was in all the missions those ninja we thought were KIA...he is your sibling disciple; Orochimaru."
"WHAT?", exclaimed Tsunade, obviously shock by the turn of events. Even though she always thought of Orochimaru as a twisted and sadistic man, but she never thought that he would be able to sacrafice his own comrades and fellow ninja in order to achieve the impossibility he calls his ambition. Her thoughts and eyes quicky shifted to Jiraiya. She knew how much the friendship of Orochimaru mattered to him, they were best friends and the greatest of rivals.
Jiraiya had on an expressionless face, staring intently into his sensei's eyes. "What evidence did you have, besides that he was on all those missions"?, asked an emotionless Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, we had caught him at the scene of the crime. He himself admitted that he had done all those horrific acts and he attacked the Jounin team and killed all of them."
"Then why did you let him escape, I know that Orochimaru is strong, but I know that you could have defeated him...you let him get away", accused Jiraiya, making Tsunade look at both of them.
The Sandaime lowered his head in shame, "...Yes, I couldn't bring myself to kill him."
"...Jiraiya-kun", gently muttered Tsunade.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Jiraiya turned around and walked out the door, not sparing a glance at Sarutobi or Tsunade...Tsunade rushed to the door to catch up, but Jiraiya was already gone.
Jiraiya was standing in the middle of an destroyed Training Field 9. The trees were either snapped in half or were incinerated to the core. Ash and debris were scattered throughout the area, almost the entire training ground was covered in large craters five feet deep each. Such destruction had alerted many ninja and ANBU Black Ops, but when each of them arrived at training field 9, they were not brave enough to stop Jiraiya, as no one wanted to deal with an angry Sannin after what Orochimaru did just a few days prior.
Also within the crowd were some ninja that knew Jiraiya very well, most of them were older and had higher ranking ninja that had the opportunity to work with the Sannin before. Among the few was Hatake Kakashi, a young student and adopted son of Jiraiya. Similar to his surrogate father, he had spiky white, gravity defying hair, he was wearing standard ANBU Black Ops uniform that was shrunk down so it can fit his 14 year old body. The majority of his face is covered by a black face mask and a slanted Konoha hitai-ite that covered his left eye.
Many had been surprised when Jiraiya of the Sannin adopted the son of the White Fang. The reason was what happened eight years ago. Hatake Sakumo was a close friend of Jiraiya's before he died. They were around the same age, and they often trained together and drank together. Sakumo was the one man that Jiraiya can count on to be watching his back during the Second Shinobi World War, even more so than is now-traitorous team-mate Orochimaru. When Sakumo committed suicide, it pained Jiraiya a lot, but he did see the man's point of view. It was the only way for Sakumo to keep his honor and respect for himself, his comrades and his village.
Kakashi was only six years old at the time, despite already being a chunin, it would hurt a boy of his age if he was to lose his father. Jiraiya knew the boy would need a family; a role model, so he officially adopted Kakashi as his son a few weeks after the death of the White Fang. At first Kakashi did not accept him as a father, or accept anyone for that matter. Kakashi locked himself in isolation, ignoring everybody, trained 24/7, and on missions he would perform exactly as the "Official" Ninja Code dictates. Eventually Jiraiya manage to get his adopted son to open up a bit, sometimes having decents conversations with each other, but most of the time Kakashi only wanted to ask advice on how to become stronger.
Kakashi was then put on Jiraiya's team when he was 13, he was just promoted to Jounin at the time. Their mission in the war was to fend off the Kannabi Bridge, one area that was crucial for the war. The team consisted of Namikaze Jiraiya, Hatake Kakashi, Rin, and Uchiha Obito, with Jiraiya and Kakashi being Jonin, Obito and Rin both being chunin. See that the boy was just made Jounin, and was in need of experience, Jiraiya allowed him to take leadership of the team until they needed to split up. That day kakashi demonstrated to the group his original assasination ninjutsu: Chidori. It was an immensely powerful A-rank Raiton jutsu, by focusing lighting natured chakra into the palm of his hand, then using shape manipulation to alter the chakra into multiple electric bursts, then lastly the user needs to time the bursts of electricity with a burst of speed to create a highly-charge lighting jab at a target. Unfortunately such a jutsu has its own share of flaws. First, the jutsu must be used as a burst of speed, thus, it can only travel in a straight line in order to maintain it's momentum. Second, the burst of speed is charged by lightning, causing the jutsu to me so fast it is hard to react to multiple enemies after it hits one target, or it misses. Jiraiya knew that against a skilled and experienced shinobi, they could catch the flaw of the jutsu before Kakashi can employ his attck. Warning Kakashi of the flaws of using that Jutsu, then Jiraiya had to spit his team in two, he himself must go to the rendezvous point, where the main Iwa forces are, and the rest of his team must continue forward aiming to cut off the enemies food supply.
In the end the mission was a success, but to all the members of team Jiraiya, the price was to great. Obito had sacraficed his life in order to save Kakashi and Rin, even gave Kakashi his left Sharingan to replace Kakashi's damaged left eye. As much as Jiraiya hates to say it, Obito's death did have some value other than saving his comrades, his death had changed Kakashi for the better. The mission had shown Kakashi that his father was right, and was still the man he thought of him before he died. After that Kakashi had become much more sociable, he had opened up to people, especialy Jiraiya. One night the father and son were talking, and Jiraiya eased up on the topic of Sakumo, instead of being reluctant to talk about his biological father, Kakashi expressed his true feelings to Jiraiya, even going as far as cry on his shoulder, that night was the first time Jiraiya saw Kakashi act his age, as well as the first and only time Kakashi called him "Tou-san".
Kakashi was standing on a tree branch located on the edge of training ground 9, he was felt tremors throughout the village and wanted to find out what the cause of it was. He sure did not expect his adopted father acting like a crazed man, obliterating the training field. This deeply worried Kakashi, his adopted father, despite being a prevert, was a usually calm and collected man, and for him to act like this, something big and bad must have happened, and he had a pretty good assumption of what it is.
'Jiraiya, you have to calm down soon, the villagers are already in distress.' thought the young ANBU member silently to himself.
All the present ninja sensed two strong chakra signatures approaching, and they all turned over to see that the Sandaime Hokage and Tsunade of the Sannin were arriving. All attention were drawn to the village leader and the female sannin as the two approached the group of shinobi.
"Kakashi-kun, is that Jiraiya down there", asked the aged Kage.
"Hai, Hokage-sama...I take it that he just heard of what Orochimaru has done."
"Yes...", said the Hokage exasperated.
Sarutobi sensed that there were at least fifty shinobi in the area, he decided that they needed some privacy. "Everyone here except Kakashi shall clear out of this area immediately", cried Sarutobi with authority. Waiting until all the people has left, the trio jump down to the destroyed area to approach Jiraiya.
Jiraiya had his back facing the three and was breathing heavily, showing signs of sweating. Tsunade slowly walked up to him and put her hand gently on his shoulder, "Jiraiya-kun..., please calm down."
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN!", yelled Jiraiya, now facing Tsunade. "He was a Konoha shinobi, he was suppose to be loyal to the village, not kill its shinobi and desecrate the graves of our heros!" cried the man with untamed anger in his eyes.
Tsunade stood at the same position, unmoving and silent. Slowly some tears leaked out of her eyes and strolled down her face. Tsunade was a strong woman, she had seen and experienced her own share of cruelty and anger, but she couldn't stand to watch Jiraiya act the way he was. It scared her, she was afraid that she might have lost the man she loves once again.
Once Jiraiya saw Tsunade's tears he immediately regretted his tone and quickly turned to embrace her. "I am so sorry hime, I didn't mean to yell at you, I just feel so betrayed and angry, I sorr-", Jiraiya's apology was cut off when Tsunade covered his lips with her own. The Sandaime and Kakashi stood at the side, not daring to interupt the two, although Kakashi was quite surprised at the scene, as he did not know of the two's new relationship.
"Don't apologize you baka... I understand your feelings, I also feel betrayed and angry at Orochimaru, but we can't choose the proper action to take if we don't calm down first", said Tsunade softly as she stroked his hair. Jiraiya shifted his gaze from Tsunade to the two other standing near him. He was never really mad at his sensei, he knew that it was hard to kill someone you considered family no matter what they did, but at the time he was disappointed at his sensei for letting Orochimaru go without doing anything.
Then finally Jiraiya took notice of his adopted son looking at him with a worried gaze. The man was even more dissapointed at himself at the sight of his son, he hated whenever he worried the people that he was suppose to take care of. Despite his personality, Jiraiya loved kids and being a father. He really cherished his relationship with Kakashi, and he didn't want Kakashi to be worried of another one of his father. Also this situation also reminded him about the three orphans he took care of in Ame, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato. If he had stayed with them longer, or have trained them harder, they might not have died, Jiraiya had always blamed it on himself somewhat, and he will be damned before he fails Kakashi.
"Kakashi..."started Jiraiya, not knowing what to say.
"Are you okay Jiraiya...I have never seen you act like this". asked the worried son softly.
"Yes, I am fine now Kakashi, I am sorry that you had to see me like that," answered Jiraiya with a sad smile as he ruffled Kakashi's hair.
"Its okay Jiraiya, I am just glad you are okay", gladly said Kakashi with an eye smile.
Sarutobi walked towards Jiraiya and offered him a bow, shocking all in the process.
"Sensei, I am sorry of what I said, please don't bo-"
"No Jiraiya, I am sorry, as Hokage it was my job to at least try to stop him, I was too weak emotionally at the moment". apologized Sarutobi as he lower his head further in shame.
"Its okay sensei...", Jiraiya said as he walked over to his sensei and lifted him from the bow.
Tsunade and Kakashi smiled at the two, happy that things have calmed down a bit.
The Sandaime gave Jiraiya and Tsunade the rest of the day off, and said that they will continue on the subject of Orochimaru the next day. Kakashi went back to ANBU HQ to give his superior a report on his latest mission, but he said that he will be home in a few hours.
Both Jiraiya and Tsunade were having their own thoughts as they walked down the main road as they were headed back to Jiraiya's apartment. They both decided prior to arriving in the village that they will stay there, as it had plenty of space for the two of them, besides, the Senju Clan House was too big for the two of them.
Tsunade was very glad that they got some time to level their heads and analyze the situation on their own before discussing what to do tommorow. This was their first day back in the village; it was merely five hours since they passed through the village main gate, but it felt like they've been here for days already. The pressure of the new developments was almost unbearable.
Jiraiya was still having a hard time digesting the fact that Orochimaru betrayed the village. He always knew Orochimaru had an unhealthy obession towards immortality, but he thought Orochimaru would just give up one day, when he finally acknowledged that it was impossible. Jiraiya had never thought that Orochimaru would go to such extreme extent to fullfill his sick ambition, killing fellow Konoha shinobi is already unforgivable, but to deform their bodies and kidnap their children were just acts against nature. Jiraiya knew that he should not have doubt about whether or not Orochimaru was really so twisted, but it was just so hard to believe that his best friend would be as corrupted as this.
Jiraiya was shaken from his thoughts when he felt someone grab his hand, "Are you alright?" Jiraiya turned to the side to see Tsunade looking at him with a worried expression. "Don't think too much of it today, we can deal with it tommorow".
"I'm fine Hime, don't worry, its just that I still find it hard to believe", said Jiraiya while looking at Tsunade. "I felt that Orochimaru was acting strange ever since the end of the war, but I never expected this, did the village means this little to him...did our friendship mean nothing to him", finished Jiraya, only whispering the last part Tsunade barely caught it.
Tsunade squeezed his hand as and act of comfort. She hated seeing him like this, Jiraiya's face should only have that goofy smile, not this moody complextion. Orochimaru was the cause of this, that no good traitorous scum. Despite being on the same team, Orochimaru had always put Tsunade off a bit whenever they were together, no matter if it was training or missions, she always thought that there was something off about him. It was because of this that she was not nearly as close to him as she was with Jiraiya, even before they were a couple.
"A..are you going to try to bring him back", asked Tsunade, slightly scared of the answer.
Jiraiya clearly noticed her trembling voice, Jiraiya knew Tsunade was scared that he would leave her to pursue the traitor. Jiraiya then simply smiled down at his lover and said with conviction, "Tsu-hime, you are more important to me than anything. Normally I would have gone to find Orochimaru since would leave the leave the village to travel anyway, but now that I have you, I would never leave you alone..., you better get use to me around here", jokingly said Jiraiya at the end.
Tsunade giggled, and hugged his arm, feeling much relieved as she followed her love as they walked to their home.
Jiraiya had a big, yet, simple apartment. The main living area was very opened, a L-shaped sofa was attached to two sides of the room. A good sized marble coffee table sat in the middle. The wall facing the sofa had several shelfs that held small decorations. The kitchen was purpendicular to the living room, surrounded by a glass wall. The apartment had three rooms; one master-bedroom, Kakashi's room, and one guest room. There was one main bathroom that is close to the living room and the two smaller bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own connected bathroom.
"Welcome to our humble abode", said Jiraiya humorously.
Tsunade walked into her new home. She had been to Jiraiya's home on mutiplie occasions in the psat, Jiraiya often had hosted gatherings and dinners parties for their team or for a larger group of friends. But this time feel entirely different than the time before, this time she had a feel of belonging...it felt nice.
"I really like it here", said Tsunade with a comfortable sigh.
"I'll see if I can fix up some supper, but while I do that, you can put your stuff in our room", with that Jiraiya headed to the Kitchen
"Okay, thank you Jiraiya-kun".
After a two week absence, they thought that the house would be scarce of groceries, but as it turns out, Kakashi had refilled the fridge despite his rapid missions. Cooking up something simple, the two had dinner, occasionally starting some small talk.
They stopped their conversation when they heard the Front door unlocking. Turning over, they saw Kakashi stroll in the house, looking visibly tired.
"Hey gaki, back from your report", hearing his father's voice Kakashi looked up to see the two remaining sannin smiling at him.
"Hai Jiraiya, nice to see you again Tsunade-sama,", pleasently replied Kakashi.
"Kakashi, you can just call me Tsunade, seeing now that we will see each other everyday, you don't need to be so formal."
"Yeah, I still really want you to call me Tou-san", Jiraiya said in a whiney tone.
"You will be living with us Tsunade-sam..Tsunade?" asked the surprised ANBU member. Currently brushing off Jiraiya's statement.
Tsunade smiled and replied, "Yep, would you be okay with that?"
"Of course I would be okay with it, the more the merrier", Tsunade smiled in response. "Okay then, I already ate and I'm tired, so I'm gonna turn in." Kakashi, deciding to tease the new couple a bit said, "Goodnight Tou-san, Kaa-san". Chuckling as he saw they flabbergasted look on the other two people.
Jiraiya was certainly surprised, not only did Kakashi call him Tou-san, he even called Tsunade kaa-san. 'Wow, I never expected that', thought Jiraiya. He looked over at Tsunade, she had a look of slight shock and amazement. Looking back at the direction of Kakashi's room he thought to himself, "I wonder what it will be like if Tsunade and I had a child, then the four of us would be a family. All three of us can teach our kid to be a ninja. I bet he would have blonde hair like his mother, but it will be spiky like mine. Wow, that will be a great life...'
As Jiraiya was day-dreaming about his future, Tsunade was also trying to figure out her own feelings. 'What is this feeling I am getting, I feel...nervous. Kakashi may have been joking, but if me and Jiraiya are really together, then I will logically would be Kakashi's mother figure...I think I would like that, it would be like when Nawaki was alive. Maybe Jiraiya and I can have another child...Oh our child will be so cute! A little girl with long white hair, she will have to beat the boys off with a stick...that or Jiraiya kills them all first, hehehehe.' Inwardly mused Tsunade, now feeling comfortable to try to be someone's mother. Her thoughts were interupted when Jiraiya broke the silence.
"Have you ever wanted to start your own family?" His tone was casual, obviously trying to ease-in to the topic.
Tsunade got up from her seat and led Jiraiya to the sofa. She set Jiraiya down and then proceeded to sit on his lap, resting her body into his frame then snuggled her head into the crook of his neck. Enjoying the comfort for a few moments before she answered.
"To be honest I haven't thought about it up until Kakashi called me Kaa-san", she said softly with her eyes closed. "I think I would love it if he saw me as his mother figure, and...I-I think that I would also be ready if we had our own child." As she said this Jiraiya felt a bolt of shock down his spine.
'She wants to have a baby!. This is great but... am I ready to be a father'. Jiraiya then wrapped his arms lovingly around Tsunade and whispered into her ear. "I would love to have another child, especialy because it will be our child. But do you think I'm ready. I became Kakashi's father when he was six-years old, at the time when he was already a chunin. I never had to change his diapers or feed him. Sakumo already had taught him how to behave, and how to view life. I don't know if I can do that to my own child."
"You are definately ready", said Tsunade. "You were always good with kids. Your Genin have great respect and admiration towards you, because of your strength and great view of life. Even the three orphans you took care of in Ame, by the stories you told me they too have great love towards you. You will be a great father."
"Okay then. lets start making our kid now!" said Jiraiya as he suddenly picked Tsunade up bridal style.
"Ah...", Tsunade squealed as she was carried to her room.
Until the wee hours of the night, the master bedroom was filled with moans and grunts of pleasure. Thankfully, JIraiya had set up a silencing seal so they won't scar Kakashi.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the Hokage all returned to the Hokage Tower the next day to discuss what actions to take regarding Orochimaru. The village elders and were also the Hokage Advisers, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.
"Orochimaru will be put into the Bingo Book as an S-rank missing-nin. He will have a kill on sight order, and a bounty of 100,000,000 ryo bounty on is head." Officially stated the Sandaime, as he signed the Bingo Book Document.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were a little suprised at the high bounty, but quickly understood as Orochimaru knows many of Konoha's secrets; information that the village cannot afford to leak.
"Orochimaru is an incredibly powerful S-rank shinobi, so anything short of an entire ANBU team should not pursue him. Any exception would be the two of you; Jiraiya, Tsunade.", finished the Sandaime. Jiraiya and Tsunade just nodded in response.
"Jiraiya, notify your contacts to be on the lookout of Orochimaru, once we have have an accurate location, we will launch a preemptive attack against the traitor", finished the Hokage, his tone showed the others that he now will not hesitant to kill Orochimaru.
"Hai, I will send them each a message via the toads, as I plan to stay in the village for the foreseeable future." said Jiraiya, making Tsunade smile and surprising the others.
The Sandaime smiled at his two students and nodded. "Dismissed"
"HAI", replied the occupants of the room.
The End!
That was the second chapter of Senju Legend, and I hope you all liked it.
Just like the previous story (For people who are not sure), this is an AU. Both Naruto and Kushina will be around the age of the Rookie Nine during Canon, that is why I had Jiraiya and Tsunade have a kid after the Third Shinobi War instead of the second.
