Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. But I do own Risa, and she's allowed to beat people up and destroy bars, right?

A/N: Thanks to everybody who read the first 2 chapters!! And I seriously hope you people out there will review. Enjoy!!


"Just the three of you?" I asked. They nodded. "Well, that's perfectly fine." And with that, I started putting the Leaf ninjas into groups of four. "Lee, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke go with Gaara. Kiba and Akamaru, Chouji, TenTen, and Shino go with Kankuro. And Shikamaru, Neji, Ino, and Hinata, go with Temari." I smiled. "Now, go and spend the day with your guest. Later. I'll be spying on you, to make sure you're keeping them contented." I shooed them off and smiled proudly at all of them.

Now, time to deal with the ninja who was spying on us the whole entire time. "Come out, whoever you are." The mysterious guy stepped out from behind the shadows...


CH 3

The guy stepped out of the shadows while I secretly took out a shuriken just in case he was going to attack me. I was surprised at who it was.

"Jiraiya?! What were you doing, spying on us?!" He should've just showed himself instead of hiding there behind the trees.

He coughed a few times and smirked. "Well, you know... I needed to talk to you... so..."

"So, why didn't you come out and say so? You know that I would've let them go off on their own." I sighed. "Whatever. What do you want to tell me? Hurry up. I have a mission to complete."

"Follow me." Jiraiya started walking into the village. I sighed again and started following him. Knowing him, he was probably going to get a bottle of sake before he tells me anything.

As I predicted, Jiraiya went into a bar and called for a bottle of sake. "What the fuck do you want to talk to me about?! I have things to do myself! I'm not going to spend my time waiting here for you to finish that bottle of sake. And plus, you're just going to get more."

Jiraiya looked at me quizically. "Since when did you become so impatient?"

"Since now." I retorted.

"A shinobi needs to be patient. Be more patient."

He was getting me pissed off. I breathed in and tried to calm myself down. If I get angry, the bar's going to get destroyed, and Tsunade's not going to like that.

Flashback

"Hurry up, Jiraiya. I don't have all day!" I was sitting in a bar with Jiraiya, waiting for him to finish up his bottle of sake, which seemed like forever. He was going to tell me something, and I needed to go on a mission Tsunade sent me on.

"Just let me finish the bottle!" Jiraiya said while waving the bottle around.

"And how long is that going to take?" I felt the anger arouse in me. "You said that about 10 minutes ago!"

"Be patient, Risa. A shinobi needs to be patient."

I glared at Jiraiya. "You expect me to be patient, when I've been sitting here, waiting for you to finish drinking you're sake?! Dmn! You come to me and tell me that you have something important to tell me, and I've been here sitting for about half an hour, waiting for you to say something! And you're telling me that I have to be patient?! Are you kidding me?!"

Next thing I knew, I was in the Hokage's office, being scolded for ruining one of the best bars in the Leaf village.

"Risa! You know better than that!"

"Hmph!" I crossed my arms and closed my eyes. This was gonna take awhile.

"You destroy the bar and broke a few of Jiraiya's ribs! You-"

"He deserved it. And about the bar, who cares? Only you and Jiraiya. Basically everything circles around sake. Sake this, sake that. I'm tired of it. And what do you expect? I was at my house, preparing for a mission, when all of a sudden, Jiriaya pops up and says that he has something to tell me. I go with him to the bar, and he drinks for about half an hour. I tell him to hurry up, and guess what? He tells ME to be PATIENT. I got pissed, and boom, the bar is destroyed."

"RISA!! You don't go destroying bars because you get pissed by Jiraiya!" Tsunade's glare was piercing through me. I opened my eyes and glared right back at her. So, this was a staring contest, wasn't it? Well, let's see how long she lasts. I smirked.

3 Hours Later

"ARGH!! I GIVE UP!! DMN YOU, RISA!!"

End Flashback

"Jiraiya," I sighed. "Don't make me break your bones once again."

Jiraiya looked at me, then to the bottle of sake, then closed his eyes. "Fine, fine, fine. Let's go somewhere else."

I got up and stretched myself. "Finally." I began to walk out of the bar, leaving Jiraiya to pay the bill himself. Not like I care if he runs out of money or not.

At last, we got to the top of the Hokage's cliff. "So, what did you want to tell me?"

I looked down on the village. I waited for a few moments, but I heard no answer from the semi-drunk guy standing nest to me.

"Don't tell me you forgot what you were going to tell me." I looked up at Jiraiya. He was staring at the outskirts of the village, a look of seriousness plastered on his face. I've never seen him this serious before. To be truthful, I felt a little... afraid.

"Have you ever heard of the Akatsuki? The group of S-ranked ninjas?" He questioned me.

"Was it the group who tried to capture Naruto when I was on a mission?"

"Yeah, them. I was thinking, maybe you should keep an eye on Sasuke."

"Why? There's nothing wrong with him."

"One of the members in the Akatsuki who came for Naruto is Itachi... that's why."

I tensed at the sound of his name.


A/N: Please review!! I'm sorry that my stories are so short, but I just find a really good place to stop, and I stop there. If you want them to be longer, please tell me.
