During the same period of time, while Naruko was training with Kakashi and Sasuke, Naruto was trying to adapt to the recent events and get used to the changes in his life.
He had a sister, something that hadn't passed his mind till now that may be possible. He was somehow angry for being left behind ,however the fact that he was not alone anymore, and that he wouldn't be no matter what happened made him for the first time unconditionally happy. He really had a family ,a real one. He was determined to get his answers no matter what and he knew that with the time that he would spend with the white-haired man he could do so really soon. However, for now he concentrate in continuing his training. He was trying to manage at last standing in the water, but he couldn't keep his chakra in control ,so he continuously kept falling into the water. At one point he was really irritated with himself for not being able to do this simple thing. Little did he know that during a fight in the Forest of Death, during which his best friend had to suffer the consequences of having being put a cursed mark, he had to suffer from a different kind of "obstacle" being put in him as well. Orochimaru, the ex member of Jiraiya's team and a sannin as well,had decided to attack Konoha . As luck plays no favors , he was faced by the two boys and their teammate, Sakura. He decided that Sasuke, with his newly awakaend sharingan, would be a perfect body vessel for himself. He was really obsessed with eternal life and such crazy ideas, that he was searching for the perfect body to use. So he made Sasuke his target. But when Naruto was struggling to protect his dear ones, his anger got hold of him and the nine tails chakra leaked out .Then the sannin suppressed the boy's chakra with the five element seal, which resulted in the kyuubi's chakra merging with his own, making it impossible to be controlled.
This fact didn't go unnoticed by Jiraiya and he ended up weakening the seal. After a few hours of endless training and when Naruto was at his limits, the sannin decided that it was time for a break .He knew that he had to give some explanations, and it would be better sooner than later.
'Hey Naruto ,that's enough for now ,let's eat, come" he said and got out of a bag some rice balls.
The boy's hunger was so out of control that one could easily say that he teleported in front of the bag,when he heard about sat at the rocky ground next to the river and then the man spoke.
"Listen, kid, it's time for you to learn about a lot of things, so pay attention.. Well, well ,where should I begin with? When you and Naruko were born ,I planned to take both of you with me. However, Lord Third insisted that not only would it be hard for me to watch over and in fact raise two newborns, but there was another reason why I left you at the village. I know that it must have been hard for you with the attitude of the villagers ,but at the time it was the-"
"Daaaaaaaamn,I am getting confused Pervy Sage,say it already".
"I am trying to but you interfered at the most critical part,idiot."
"Oooops, sorryyy."
"Well, before we go any further,I don't even know if you're aware of it,but you possess two kinds of chakra within you."
"Huuuuh,two chakras?"
"Have you ever felt any unnatural and different chakra?"
"Well,I'm not suree…Hmmm…Now that you mention it, I do kinda remember ,it was that one time that I was really angry and I felt a strange source of power and I didn't know where it came from,"the boy said trying to remember when actually that happened .
'Oh,I see" said the man.
Then the boy continued " If my normal chakra had a color, it would be blue, but this one would be definitely red."
"Well,I see" said Jiraiya and then continued "That's enough training for today."
''Heyyyyy whaaaaaat?What about my training?What about this super duper amazing technique that you said that you'd teach me?'' the boy growled.
"You shouldn't overdo it,you 's go in town and have a real bath,not just sink in and we'll continue the training tomorrow."
A few hours later, at a nearby' s village hot springs:
Both are enjoying the bath while Jiraiya's drinking his sake.
"Aaaaah,that's really better than falling in" the boy said.
"Nothing beats relaxing after a long day of training", the man agreed.
"Hey,hey Pervy Sage,so tell my about this technique".
"Tomorrow is soon enough."
"Aaaaaah, come on…"
*One of Jiraiya's toad shows up from the water*
"We'll better get out boy,or we'll get stuck with a giant boiled toad" the man said and both laughed.
When they got in their room ,after they got ready to sleep Naruto asked "Pervy Sage,tell me something about my sister".
"What do you want to know?"
"Well…anything…everything."
"Hmm,Naruko is really smart, she's really fast when it comes to learning things and is actually quite mature. She grows up really fast and she is really always has a quick remark or a witty repartee. She'll be an amazing kunoichi and an amazing woman when she gorws , sometimes it's really hard to deal with her. She's too stubborn and it is not always in a good way. She always does as she wants even If she knows the consequences and when she was younger it really got her into trouble. She also has it really hard to associate with others.
God, sounds like a second Sasuke to me, Naruto thought.
"It was always the two of us so she doesn't know how to work in a team. Kakashi taught you about teamwork, didn't he?"
The boy simply nodded. For once he was really interested in what somebody told him.
" It's not as If she's trying to play a leading role or something, she just goes on on her own and does as she pleases. Until now it wasn't such a problem since I was with her, but in an actual mission this may cause problems. She can't easily show compassion as well. When it comes to me or to you, she will definitely be protective, but she doesn't have the most crucial thing that a human must have.."
"You mean bonds, right?"
"Yes, you got that right."
"But now she will stay with me , won't she?"
"I guess yes, during the last year and a half that I told her about you she has driven me nuts. She really wanted to meet you."
"Just leave it to me Pervy Sage, I'll make her do her best being accepted by others, and I'll be by her side as well." Naruto said with a big smile. "So ,why didn't she come with us?"
"Even though she was dying to meet you, I told you she's somehow awkward with people. She tries to play it cool and social, but it makes her feel uneasy. And also it happened that she came when you were screaming about training you, so in her mind she was trying to be considerate. After all she doesn't plan to leave you. And also she was really curious about both your clan's techniques and the fourth hokage's ones, so she decided that while I'd be training you she wouldn't get in the way and also do some research on her own."
" So,sis is into studying huh?"
''You could say that."
"Pfff Boring.I get tired only by thinking about it."
"Haha, thought so. But see it that way, she was traveling and practicing with me since she learned to walk, she really hasn't seen the life in a village, so it's intriguing to her."
"Still can't get the part about reading, it's boring" , the boy complained.
Kushina,Minato,you really left the copies of yourself in this world. Minato's collected and studious personality lives in that girl, and Kushina's spontaneity and hot blooded personality are the main characteristics of the boy in front of me, Jiraiya thought. Though both need still help, the one in the personality aspect, the other as far as ability is concerned.
'Haha ,I guess I understand you, I was bored at your age as well when it came to studying. But even books can be really helpful sometimes."
"Yes…sure" the boy said while yawning. His eyes were closing now. His exhaustion of a whole day training was getting a hold of him now. His body was so tired that it wouldn't move and his brain was already asleep. His eyes closed without him realizing it and after a few seconds his snoring was echoing in the room.
Jiraiya on the other hand, spent a big part of the night, watching the young kid sleeping peacefully with a genuine smile on his face.
