"Surely you can't be serious." Naruto face-palmed. He was at the Hospital, talking to Kakashi, who was there to pick up Sasuke Uchiha., apparently under orders from the council.
"Unfortunately I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."
"What?"
"Sorry Naruto, but orders are orders."
"Yeah, orders from a bunch of civilians." Naruto thought for a few moments before shooting a suspicious look at his Sensei. "They threatened you book, didn't they?" Kakashi said nothing, but a quiet sniffle confirmed Naruto's suspicions. "Alright, fine, I'll manage on my own."
"Sorry again."
"Yeah, yeah." Naruto called Ruin and rode away from the building, leaving a still sniffling Kakashi behind.
Naruto decided to stop by at the hot spring for a soak and, after sending Ruin back to his realm, sank into the warm water letting out a groan. Then he felt a pair of soft hands rubbing his chest.
"Women's half's on the other side of the fence."
"Yeah, I know." Kami giggled. "But you're over here." Naruto rolled his eyes, but had a soft smile on his lips.
"You know, I expected the Goddess of Life to be… a little bit more serious."
"I can be serious." She pouted. "I just don't want to. Now pay attention, your new Sensei's peeking on the other side." She disappeared.
"I hate it when she does that." Naruto groaned, opening his eyes. There was an old man with long white hair and a weird getup there, looking through a small hole in the wooden fence. Naruto sighed, before yelling out loud. "Pervert!"
The yell threw the old man off balance, sending him crashing forward, through the weak fence and into the female side of the spring, resulting in a horrendous, for him, and amusing, for Naruto, beating, which left a groaning heap behind. Naruto chuckled slightly, not even bothering to get out of the water.
"Serves you right, old man."
"That was you!" The old man recovered surprisingly quick and growled at Naruto. "Do you have any idea how many weeks of valuable research you ruined?"
"Research? What the hell are you on about, you pervert?"
"Pervert? I'll have you know that I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, Walker of the Path to Mount Myoboku, and the one and only author of the best-selling series Icha Icha! Therefore, I am no mere pervert. I AM A SUPER PERVERT!"
"That's not something you should be proud of, old man." Naruto sweat dropped.
"So, who the hell are you, kid."
"Naruto." He answered simply, still relaxing in his bath.
"Naruto, Naruto… The Kyuubi Jinchuriki." Jiraiya's voice was suddenly much more serious.
"Formerly."
"What do you mean formerly?"
"I meat with the Charred Council and they removed Kyuubi and put an angel in his place. I trust dad told you about them?"
"Yeah, he told me everything about him and his wife. I just don't understand how two immortal beings could die."
"They didn't. They were captured by the dregs of hell and are in the final circle." Naruto's eyes turned steely. "And when I'm strong enough I'm going to find them and free them."
"Well then, you can count on my help." The old man said seriously.
"What?"
"Look, I just found out that my only student, the man I thought of as my own son, is alive, after spending fifteen years mourning him and his wife and son. And said son is planning on storming hell to free them. Like fuck am I gonna let you do that all by yourself."
"Thank you… Jiraiya." Naruto smiled. "But, in the meantime, I have a Chunnin Exam to finish in a month and my Sensei has been ordered to teach my teammate exclusively. So I could use someone to help me."
"Sure. Just get dressed first, and I'll meet you at the waterfall by the village wall." The long-haired man disappeared in a poof of smoke and Naruto chuckled to himself, exiting the pool.
I know, I know, too short. SO deal with it, I'm updating 32 stories in a single bound. Be happy there was anything at all.
Also, I have a new Twitter acount, on which I will be posting updates and maybe even new ideas. Check it out, the name's Drakai07, the pic is the same as my profile for FanFiction.
