Naruto and Jiraiya couldn't get out of town fast enough, and for no reason whatsoever was the reason for them leaving so fast, any fault for Jiraiya and the towns brilliant bath houses. Neither was it because of Naruto's extraordinary ability to bankrupt gambling dens to the point of having the crap kicked out of him by the bouncers of the neighbourhood friendly yakuza. The final reason they were not skipping town was because of the hard to miss destruction of the hotel caused by two said shinobi and two shinobi gang members. It was because of all three reasons.

Jiraiya had swiftly told Naruto to make himself scarce, Naruto had done so, with a henge into what he would like to look like when he was older that coincidentally did not look like his father had entered a gambling den. What had possessed him to go into such an estabilshment? Genuine childish curiosity along with the fact that Konoha established a 'Old enough to kill. Old enough to gamble.' Policy. It was also done in secret to prevent Jiriaya taking his money again.

The two met up again a few hours later and they began walking. Naruto had sealed his winnings inside some tags as they headed towards their destination. Jiraiya turned to his new student "What do you know about converter seals?"

Naruto looked at the man "What are they?"

Jiraiya snorted "Awesome if you know how to use them and a pain to fight against. Basically they take the incoming chakra attack and convert it into something you can deal with...hypothetically."

Naruto nodded "So if a Doton jutsu was coming at a Katon user and the Katon user uses this tag. He could hypothetically turn it into a Futon jutsu and because wind is weak to fire..." Jiraiya nodded.

"So there is a brain inside you...You're more of a practical and example learner, like me...Okay here's what I would like you to do." With that Jiraiya and Naruto got to work on the seals. At the moment, Naruto was not allowed to develop his own seals until Jiraiya told him so and from that point on Naruto was the man's apprentice.

Under Jiraiya's tutelage Naruto honestly thrived, with the help of his clones, Naruto had refined his chakra control even more and had his taijutsu style sorted out. He had changed from a brawler to a mixture of what Lana had called Savate, Sikaran, Vovinam, Kickboxing- Lana's former countries version of Savate and Capoeira. Naruto had understood that due to his nature of being a swordsman meant he would need to utilise some different fighting styles for his legs and feet and hence those styles above. He had now begun to be taught the Toad Style which utilised his legs and knees to kick and his hands and arms to block with an occasional elbow strike to throw his opponents off balance.

Soon enough they had arrived at Tanzanaku Gai, the gambing city of Hi no Kuni. Naruto gulped, it was sprawling with Samurai. Samurai could possibily beat and kill a shinobi nine times out of ten. But it wasn't just the samurai that unnerved him. The city was filled with shinobi washouts, cut-throats, racketeers and the likes; some had shinobi training and some did not and it were these street rats much like himself that scared him.

The duo entered the city, Naruto made sure to hide the majority of his weapons except Samehada which recieved some odd looks from the bored stiff gate guards but they shrugged and let the pair in. Naruto split from Jiraiya and headed towards a local gambling den. 'When in doubt...Gamble. Money and Sake talks.'

Naruto entered the first establishment and quickly got himself dealt into a game. Samehada rested casually hilt first against the table "What's with the sword?"

"Protection on the road. I'm looking for someone." Naruto replied casually raising the ante.

The dealer smirked "Who?"

"Tsunade."

The game stopped and Naruto smirked as his fuuinjutsu activated, he noticed that the highest playing hand in the game was going to two pairs of fours and threes. He looked at his hand and it was two aces, an eight, seven and a six. He placed down two cards "Two please."

Naruto could have have ripped his face off with the grin, He had two aces, two eights and a six. Within half an hour he was up thirty three thousand ryo and when he decided to leave with information he had wrangled out of his opponents when it happened.

He had just met up with Jiraiya when the first of the muggers struck. It was a wild uncoordinated attack. Naruto spun into it, the blow landed squarely on Naruto's chest but Naruto was already riding the punch which allowed him to close the distance with the thug, he grabbed the thug by the collarbone and chucked himself forcefully into the technique.

Jiraiya winced as he heard the unforgettable sound of bone and cartilage breaking. "Why?"

"Your sword. My boss wants it. What she wants, she gets."

Naruto smirked "Well she's gonna have to do better." With that he kicked the thug cleanly in the head. Naruto snorted and headed off into the streets trying to find his sensei.

To find a man at 6'2 in a city where the main height was 6'0 wasn't that hard or shouldn't be...theoretically. But when said sensei had an appetite the size of a Akimichi at Maximum Height should have made it easier, but Jiraiya had learnt his tricks of the trade on this particular city.

Naruto found him soon enough talking to two women, one he remembered from Lana's point of view as Tsunade. The blonde woman and pulverised her owner's body at the time with three finger strikes. One took off his arm, the next the kidney and the third well he needed sticking together again. As for the other one Naruto shrugged and made his way over "Sensei, why didn't you tell me."

Jiraiya looked up and grinned "My wayward apprentice...Come, take a seat."

Naruto slid smoothly into a seat next to Jiraiya, it wasn't quick enough to show he was scared, it was more of a subtle intimidation technique, allowing the wrappings of Samehada to loosen. Both women's eyes widened "You've got Samehada! You killed the previous owner!"

Naruto chuckled "No...The thing is all of the Swords of the Mist are slightly sentient. Samehada happened to strongly dislike Hoshigaki Kisame and killed him...Yet he appeared again."

Jiraiya smirked "Nope. That's Hoshigaki Tora. Kisame's identical twin, Tora probably wants the blade as he sees it as a birthright."

Naruto nodded "Tsunade-Sama has Jiraiya told you why we have tracked you down?" A shake of the older mans head told him everything. Tsunade's warm chocolate brown eyes hardened.

"What haven't you been telling me Jiraiya? Whose the kid?"

Naruto gulped "Uzumaki Naruto, his apprentice and apprentice to the Toads if they're willing. The shinobi council want you to become the Godaime Hokage." That simple sentence caused an uneasy quiet around the four shinobi.
