Naruto hid from Sai knowing that any confrontation with her would lead to an exhausting argument. He knew she was getting close to him so, as if just in time he spotted Sakura and decided to use her for a temporary shelter. "Hey Sakura." He greeted.

"N-Naruto, what a surprise." Sakura laughed nervously. "I thought you might have left already."

"Not exactly." Naruto scratched his chin while averting his eyes from her. "Ne, ne who are you guys, are you new to the village?"

"Oh, right I meant to introduce you to them they are… Oops I never did catch your names." Sakura said with a bit surprised.

"Itachi Uchiha." Sasuke replied.

"Choji Nara." Shikamaru replied.

Naruto appeared too glared at them but then he smiled as he said, "I'm Naruto Namikaze."

"Ne, Naruto these guys seem to be looking for something, I was wondering if you might know anything about it?" Sakura asked.

"We are looking for 'something' or 'someone' we are not sure yet as to which, what we do know is that this location was given to us as a clue to its ware bouts." Sasuke replied in a roundabout way.

"Then how will you be able to find it?" Naruto asked completely confused.

"You see it contains a certain type of magic we need, it usually stays dormant until the vessel concealing it is destroyed." Sasuke replied emotionless.

"Oi, Itachi." Shikamaru scolded.

"But then, what will you do if it turns up to be human?" Sakura asked in a worried tone.

"Nothing we will just need their blood." Shikamaru answered before Sasuke could say anything else.

"I see." Naruto said with a pained look. "Well I haven't heard anything about it so good luck t' ya." Naruto said when he spotted Sai.

They watched as Naruto left in a hurry, "Sorry about that." Sakura apologized, "Like I said his parents were killed because they were suspected of witchery, any mention of magic and such really irks him."

"Is there more to him?" Sasuke asked with suspicion.

"What do you mean?" Sakura tilted her head in confusion.

"Like a sister perhaps?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah," Sakura said in a surprised voice, "how do you know?"

"Just a hunch."

"She disappeared ten years ago, he is all that remains of the Namikazes in this village." Sakura said with sorrow in her voice. The strangers bid Sakura farewell, as they headed towards the inn, they decided that they had gathered all the information they needed to lead them to their prime suspect Naruto and his missing sister.

Jiraiya went into Naruto's old room, inside Naruto sat in his bed one foot on the ground while the other was on the bed, he leaned back staring absently at the wall. "Jiraiya." Naruto murmured when he noticed him.

"Naruto is it true that you left to avenge your family's death?" Jiraiya asked.

"He, and here I wondered what your first words to me would be, as blunt as always 'sensei'." Naruto said in a mocking voice.

"Naruto I have already told you the death of your family is my fault so if you want to avenge them you have to kill me first." Jiraiya said with anger.

"Sensei I was in their home." Naruto said nonchalant.

Jiraiya froze, he gulped expecting the worst. "They offered 'me' one million each for the 'my' parents murders lives." Naruto said trembling with anger. "One million." He scoffed.

"Naruto."

"I wanted to kill them, an eye for an eye, my family for theirs." Naruto said bitterly.

"You …"

"I was about to stab one of them when a little boy appeared. I couldn't…" Naruto stopped, as he shivered visibly, "I'm not like them."

"I'm sorry Naruto if only I could have gotten to them faster your parents would still be alive. If I had not dropped your sister, you would not be alone." Jiraiya said as he hugged Naruto.

"Jiraiya." Naruto clung closer to him. He looked at Jiraiya with pleading eyes as he leaned to kiss him. Shocked Jiraiya pushed him back.

"Naruto… I'm sorry." Jiraiya said as he started to leave the room.

"It's not your fault, Jiraiya!" Naruto screamed but Jiraiya only left the room.

Author: so I just found out I made a mistake Sai is supposed to be a girl not a boy in this one and in the beginning I mention Sai as a boy but now its fixed. Yay. So hope your liking the story so far.
