disclamier: i dont own naruto, bite me
chapter 3: that must be taken
Rojimbo walked out side the next morning, he decided to get to know his new home, and just walked, half way
through the day he spotted the stone, he read the names, but two were freshly carved "Kakashi, may you finally find peace-" he cut off, when someone
landed next to him, "jiraya, may your soul find hapiness" the woman spoke softly,
the only way a lover could, Rojimbo turned his head. "i never even got the chance to tell him, kid,"
the woman turned to him "if there is one thing you can learn from naruto, learn to cope with the hardships of being a ninja, learn to deal with fallen comrades
in anyway you can, and most importantly, dont forget who your friends are" the woman said, Rojimbo was stunned, he could smell the
alchohol on her breath, as she walked away. "Naruto, who was that?" Rojimbo asked Naruto as Naruto jumped down
"that was grandma Tsunade, she's been inconsuluble after the death of jiraya" Naruto replied solemnly, with a single teardrop running down his cheek.
[meanwhile elsewhere]
standing atop a tree, 5 miles from the village hidden in the leaves, the man with the onyx eyes was watching and waiting, preparing for that final strike, the strike of revenge
[back at konoha]
"So jiraiya was you master and Tsunade's lover?, i never knew, i'm sorry for -" Rojimbo suddenly stopped, and looked in his direction
"what is it Rai?" Naruto asked inquisetevly
"you tell me?," Rojimbo spoke, "and why did you call me Rai? at least take the I off the end"
Naruto grinned "it got your attention didn't it?"
BOOM
there was a large explosion at the north gate
an ANBU ninja dropped down from the trees "Lord Hokage, its him, its- its"
"Sasuke Uchiha," Rojimbo said as his eyes went from hazel to pure white, "of the uchiha clan, he is in league with the Akatsuki, Madara Uchiha is up to his old tricks again" his eyes returned to normal, both Naruto and the ANBU ninja were looking at him in disbelief
"you can ask questions later, we've got a village to protect" Rojimbo said as he ran towards the north gate, but suddenly stopped
"which way is north again?" Naruto and the ANBU ninja sweatdropped
"WHERE IS HE! TELL ME NOW, WHERE IS ROJIMBO NAKAMURA" Sasuke shouted at the wounded gaurd impaled in his sword
"im right behind you"
