~~ I am so sorry for not updating sooner. I have been swamped with homework, and I have had a minor case of writer's block. I couldn't decide where I wanted to lead my story. I think I have figured it all out though. Thank you for your patience.~~
Naruto smiled deeply as he bit into a sweet, spongy cinnamon roll. The warm icing dripped off the edge, covering his fingers. Hinata chuckled lightly watching Naruto eat, he always got so animated when he ate his favorite foods.
"Naruto, who was at the door?" Hinata questioned.
"Oh, that was Matsuri. There's going to be a party tonight at Ino's. It's celebrating the recent love spreading around Konoha like a wildfire. I agreed that we would attend. I hope you don't mind." Naruto replied with a shrug.
"Oh, it's fine. Just curious, will you be drinking any Sake tonight?"
"Maybe one or two, but I always worry that I will be needed, and unable to be useful because I'm drunk."
Hinata laughed, imagining Lee drinking Sake. A light tap came from the wooden door, and Naruto opened the door swiftly, and a serious Jiraiya stood before him.
"Naruto, I am sorry, but I cannot meet up with you tomorrow for training, I am leaving on a mission."
"How serious of a mission?" Naruto asked, his tone falling.
"Oh, don't worry. It's nothing that I can't take care of. Don't worry Naruto, everything will be okay." Jiraiya lied through his teeth.
Jiraiya knew full well that he could very easily depart this life on this mission. He was going after an Akatsuki member named Pein. Tsunade has begged for him not to depart, but he knew that he would be targeting Konoha very soon if immediate action wasn't taken. He also knew that Naruto would do his best from preventing him from leaving, because that's how Naruto is. Naruto's face lit up, as he couldn't see through the lie, and he embraced the older man.
Jiraiya smiled down at his son, which is his godson. Inside he felt terrible. He knew that this might be the last time he ever saw Naruto again, and he could feel his heart breaking. A single tear traced down Jiraiya's sage marks, and he quickly wiped it away, but not before Hinata saw it. Hinata was on the verge of tears, after all she could see straight into emotions with her eyes. "Oh, if only Naruto knew what could happen." Hinata thought, her eyes filling with tears. Quickly blinking, Hinata looked away and began to clear the table from their breakfast mess.
Naruto released his Teacher, as Jiraiya left the village. As he walked out the gate, a blonde woman pulled him into a deep embrace, tears free falling. Jiraiya had never seen Tsunade cry so much in his entire lifetime.
"Don't do it. Please." Tsunade begged, holding the Toad Sennin tightly.
"Tsunade, look at Me." he instructed as he lifted her gaze into his, " I must do this, to protect the village, to protect Naruto, but most importantly, you. I knew the risks that I was going to face the moment I started at the academy. This is my life, and even if it costs mine, I will protect yours." he stated, tears falling from his eyes.
"Then, I ask one thing." Tsunade whispered, her voice hoarse.
"Anything." he replied, his fingertips gently tracing her neck.
"Make love to me." Tsunade blushed, her amber eyes blazing with passion.
"You know that can put you in danger, if you are to get pregnant." Jiraiya whispered.
"I actually found out, that the Jutsu I use also makes my ovaries fully functional. Please, if you are to die, I want your legacy to continue. I want to have a small part to remember you by," she begged as she placed her trembling lips onto his.
Jiraiya returned the kiss, and transported them into his apartment in Konoha. Tsunade lay on the bed, and Jiraiya started to remove his clothes and hers. They both lay nude next to each other, and Tsunade began to nibble on his ear. This sent waves of untamed passion through Jiraiya. He moaned as he became fully erect. He began to suckle her luscious breasts, and slid one finger inside her wet heat. Tsunade bucked into his caress as a moan escaped from her lips. After making sure she was ready, Jiraiya entered. The sensation was enough to make Tsunade scream in pleasure, and Jiraiya growled deep in his throat. They both paused; knowing full well was about to take place. He began to deliver swift and hard thrusts into the wet warmth that surrounded his swollen member. Both of their heartbeats quickened, and with one final thrust, the two climaxed. A small stream of seamen flowed out onto the bed sheet.
"Tsunade, I love you." Jiraiya groaned, as he began to dress.
" I love you too." Tsunade whispered, making no effort to untangle herself from the twisted bed sheets.
Jiraiya left the room, and Tsunade broke down, tears free falling. She cried until her heart shattered, and she fell asleep from pure emotional exhaustion. Shizune transported looking for her, and gasped at what she saw. She quickly walked over, and cradled the broken-hearted Hokage, who was silently crying. Jiraiya gathered his scattered emotions, and began the journey to where this Pein resided in Amegakure.
As he entered the village, he found himself hesitating. Finally after gathering himself, he walked in the back, where the was a room where the water flowed from the village. As he rounded a corner, he came face to face with an all too familiar blue haired woman.
"Konan, what the Hell happened to you?" he shouted, as he saw her Akatsuki robe.
Instead of answering, she jumped behind a man, who looked familiar as well.
"Yaiko? " Jiraiya gasped.
"I remember being called by that name. Oh, but that was when I was alive." the man said with no emotion.
"But…" Jiraiya fumbled
"No time for talking. Come at me." he instructed as he lunged forward summoning a huge Rhino.
Jiraiya quickly summoned Gamaken, and fought against the large Rhino. The fight raged, until finally Jiraiya destroyed the summon. Gamaken puffed away as well, as he was done and close to death himself.
"That is it? That is the best you can do, Master?" Pein joked manically.
Jiraiya became still, and jumped away from the enemy. Pein summoned the Preta Path and the Human path. They all jumped towards where Jiraiya had landed, but who stood before him was a different man. His appearance was very toad like, with webfeet and hands. His nose was larger and wart infested. His red lines extended out, creating a new motif. On his shoulders sat two old toads. All of their eyes glowed darkly.
"No, this is the best I can do." Jiraiya yelled as he attacked and killed three of Pein's bodies with a Rasengan. Focusing too much, he was unguarded as Pein's Asura path severed his left arm. Jiraiya screamed out in pain, and fell to the ground, blood seeping onto the wet ground, and Pein crushed his throat.
"Let us leave, he will bleed to death." Pein instructed as they jumped above to exit.
"Fukasaku." Jiraiya forced out, as blood flowed freely from his lips.
The frog removed his coat, and let Jiraiya burn the code into his back. Jiraiya finished just in time, to have Pein send a Chakra Ball directly at him and Fukasaku. Fukasaku quickly summoned out, and Jiraiya was hit with the explosive Jutsu. The ground shattered, and Jiraiya fell into the deep water, which was below the battleground of his death.
"So, this is what dying feels like," Jiraiya thought to himself, " It's oddly peaceful. I am sorry Naruto and Tsunade. I did intend to come home, but I guess this is where my story ends."
Jiraiya smiled, as his eyes closed forever, as he sank deeper and deeper into the water's abyss.
~~ Sad, I know. I'll try to update once more tonight. If not, most likely I will on Sunday. Tell me what you all think." (=^_^=)
