Author's note: It's too hot, it's too uncomfortable. I like Summer but I wish I had an air conditioner. But none of you want to hear that so here's a new chapter, let's see what happens Muwahaha! ^^

Naruto does not belong to me but to Masashi Kishimoto

Sasuke had roller over his shock and activated his sharingan.

" Naruto step back, he's mine!" Sasuke sounded pretty sure on the outside but on the inside he wasn't so sure. His chakra was depleting, not to mention how dizzy he felt.

" Hm, Foolish little brother, I did not come here for you but for Naruto-kun"

" Well your not getting him!" Sasuke raised his hand in a sign and gathered his chakra.

' Fire ball no jus-!' Before Sasuke could fry itachi, the blue fish man brought down his sword, managing to hit Sasuke and take away most of his Chakra.

" Sasuke!" Naruto tried gathering his chakra but it was to no use, since the sword touched him and took away his chakra.

" Naruto get away from him!" Sasuke was bent over, barely conscious.

"My Samehada eats up chakra! Now that your justu is gone, you shouldnt be any more trouble.. First of all Shouls I chop off a leg or cut off an arm?" The blue fish guy brought down his sword but was stopped by a large toad.

" You don't seem to know very much about me.. I'm better at getting girls than they are trying to get me. Even though it doesn't look like it. It's my specialty. I, Jiraiya, this epitome of manliness! I will fall for no woman's feminine wiles! When you're someone like me, you'll only have to flash that sexiness to have women fall at your feet!" It was silent for a moment, until Naruto broke it.

" Oh yeah? That girl just winked at ya and you were scampering after her! And now you're trying to look all cool and classy- you ero-senin!"

" Hey! can't you stop calling me that in front of others?"

" Screw that! It's those guys over there we should be worrying about, Ero-senin!"

' Well at least he's here, I don't think Naruto and I could of taken them' Sasuke felt relieved for once on his life for Seeing Jiriaya.

" Hehe.. So it's one of the legendary three ninja's, the great Jiriaya, eh? You like beautiful women but we weren't thinking that such a simple method could successfully stall you anyway.."

" You guys know the ero-senin's real identity!?" Sasuke would have laughed at Naruto's statement if it wasn't for the fact, that they weren't in such a great situation.

" Er, not really, I wouldn't call that a real identity.." Even Jiriaya sounded somewhat stupefied.

" In any case, it seems you have already undone the genjustu binding this woman."

" You guys wanted to draw me away so you used the sharingan to cast genjustu on the woman, huh? Not a very manly way of doing things. So you really are after Naruto.." Jiriaya had put the woman down.

" No wonder Kakashi knew about this.. You were the source of information.. To abduct Naruto.. Those were the orders given to us by the higher echelons of our organization, " Akatsuki"" It went silent again. The toad shielding Naruto from Kisame's sword disappeared.

"... You won't get Naruto."

" And why not?" Itachi didn't even flinch.

" Because right now, right here, you two will die by my hand."

" No Not him, He's mine!" Sasuke steadily stood up.

" I have no interest in you right now, foolish little brother" Itachi grabbed Sasuke's neck and slammed him into the wall. Blood spilled out of Sasuke's mouth.

" Go to sleep" Itachi had closed his eyes and reopened them showing the Mangekyo Sharingan.

" AHHHHHHHHHH!"

" GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU ASSHOLES! IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!" Naruto's eyes had gone red and were slitted. Naruto ran towards Sasuke and Itachi.

" Ninpou gama guchi shibari!" The wall had turned into some type of fleshy material.

" Too bad itachi.. Kisame You are already inside my stomach! Black magic to summon the esophagus of the giant toad from Myouki mountain rock inn. You wanted criminals, hope you enjoy being food to Iwagama!"

" Wha.. What the heck is going on here?"

" Naruto, stay still! Don't worry it's just me justu!"

" kisame, come!"

" Shit!" Kisame ran to Itachi.

" No one sneaks away without my awareness from here!" Jiriaya slammed both his palms on the fleshy ground. Jiriaya was shocked for a moment and ran to where Itachi and kisame were supposed to be. Naruto ran with him.

" Why's this happening!? Ahh! They're gone! What with this fire? I'd say it's black"

" Don't stupidly move closer to it!"

" Ehh!?"

" Alright! Sealing justu! Seal fire highest rank! Alright! well now, everyone okay after that?"

" Sasuke!?" Sasuke came out of the fleshy walls, unconscious. Jiraya slammed his foot down making the fleshy walls disappear. Naruto grabbed Sasuke, Who by the way needed some medical attention.

" Ero-senin what happened to him!?"

" I think it was a genjustu done by itachi, he needs some rest and medical attention. I have a couple pills that will suffice until we find a certain someone" Jiriaya took out some pills and out them down Sasuke's throat. Naruto was shaking with pure anger at both himself and at itachi. Naruto grabbed Sasuke's hand and brought it to his face.

' Im sorry Sasuke,I-I couldn't protect you. I promise i'll get stronger' Tears slid out of Naruto's eye's.

" Kid, it's ok to shed some tears after all you will get stronger with time and you'll be able to protect him" Jiraya showed Naruto a thumb's up, Naruto rubbed his eyes and smiled with determination.

" Ok then kid, Pick up your princess we need to get going" Naruto picked up Sasuke again in bridal style. They went out of the town and started walking towards another. Naruto stopped after a couple of minutes.

" What is it?"

" Ero-senin.. Those guys.. What are they after me for? You know don't ya.. Ero-senin.."

"... Those guys are not so much after you... As they are after what's inside you.." Naruto looked down to his stomach and Sasuke, since he was still carrying him.

" ... This? Why do those guys wan't it?"

" Why those guys want their hands on the nine-tails.. To be honest, I don't really know! But since you have the nine-tails sealed within you. I suppose there trying to find a way to harness and control it's powers... Those guys keep on trying to get ya, It's a destiny you'll have to face up to.. But when that happens, I'll be there to protect ya, so don't-" Jiriaya got cut off.

" And that is exactly why.. I have to become stronger! Okay! Let's hurry up and find this tsunade person! She'll fix Sasuke, and then we can finally start training ! hm?"

" What?"

" Is this ' Super babe' You were talking about before... Tsunade..?"

" Oh, you've gotten sharper already..! Yep it's her alright. What about it?"

" Is she the one of the one's, along with you, that people call the ' Three ninjas'?"

" Yeah. so?"

" How old is she?"

" My age."

" She's ooooold, then! What's this tsunade like?" They started walking again.

" hm? You interested?... Well, she's kinda annoying.. She's a compulsive gambler, and well known in a lot of countries.."

" Well, she'll be pretty easy to find then, if she's so famous..!"

" Oh yeah, she's famous alright.. She's known as the legendary sucker. Mmmm She may have a name but I don't think it'll be easy to find her.. She ain't the type to age gracefully, so she'll probably be using a special justu to change her appearance... She may be 50 but she'll have the looks of a 20 year-old! And as i've been hearing lately sometimes she changes her appearance from a 10 year old to a 30 year old or 40 year old to get away from her gambling debts!"

" That, That's not very... good."

" Tsunade as a kid, loved to gamble more than anything else. unfortunately, she sucked at it both in skill and in luck! she's had the name 'sucker' since a long time ago! Back then, she was always borrowing money and then running away afterwords... Ah those were the days.."

" You miss those days!? Well, how're we gonna find her then?"

" Since were going by foot, there's all these ways of doing it.."

" Eeeeeehhhh? That means we don't know how long it's gonna take!"

" We don't have much time to spare. We'll be spending most of our time on our journey on you!"

" on me?"

" We're gonna power you up! It's training time!" Naruto smiled in shock.

" Im ready!"

~ A few hours later ~

" Come on Ero-senin! Let's get started with training!"

"Don't get too fired up.. We still need to gather information about tsunade. There is no point in training before we do so"

" Gather information?" They arrived at a town.

" This is the town"

" Wow!" They went in the town, with an excited Naruto, passed out Sasuke and perverted old man.

" Uhwaa awesome! This is the first time i've seen something like this!" Naruto looked around excitedly.

" Have a good time doing whatever you want! This will be a break before the training starts. Until the festival is over.. We'll stay here for now and do the training here as well"

" All right!" Naruto summoned a clone, and put Sasuke in the clones arms. Naruto went into his backpack and searched for a certain wallet. He found it and brought it to his face.

" Oh...! Sure is a lump sum of money you have there! Just like a government official!, no!"

"I have been saving up! It's a duty to have savings for the rainy day.. Later!"

" Hang on! Naruto!" Both Naruto's looked back.

" I'll keep those saving's for you! This is all you can spend.."

" Eh... Only 30 bucks!?"

" Don't 'eh' with me! There are 'three sins' that shinobi is forbidden to do. You should have known this!"

" 'Three sins' So what the heck is it?"

" What! there's no way you don't know! The 'three sins are the things that a shinobi must avoid. These things are alcohol, Women, and money"

" Is that it? Not interested in those! Im not even 20 years old. No alcohol for me! And women don't interest me, I have Sasuke! You don't have to worry about me using my savings that way."

" You brainless idiot! Don't say something that stupid about money. You'll waste it all right away! The power of money is a very dangerous thing! This is why were looking for her.. It already messed up her life!"

" But doesn't ero-senin have the hots for women!?"

" Don't change the subject! I'll take your luggage. and here's my bag in case you get lost and the toads can track you if needed. I'll collect the information about tsunade"

" hmph" both Naruto's walked away.

' I wanted to buy Sasuke something really pretty dattebayo' So Naruto played some games, ate some dango and bought a mask. Which made him trip and drop Jiraya's bank book.

" Ero-senin's bank book, huh... He can buy whatever he wants with this! What a cheap bastard! Let's see how much is left.. Now for the next store. It's almost gone.." Naruto went to the next store smiling.

" hey mister! Get mr this type of squid cut in pieces!" Naruto went around wondering where to go next.

" Hey boss maybe we should find ero-senin, My arms are starting to get tired"

" Kyahahaa"

" Think I found him" Naruto went into the store, finding a drunken Jiraya with two ladies.

" Kyahahahaha What nice young ladies you girls are..! Ohh.. Naruto! Heh. How'd it go at the festival?" Naruto went into shock as he saw his gama-chan(wallet) empty.

" What's the point of telling me about three sins of shinobi! You're the one in trouble by breaking them! My savings that I saved money to use! What the hell is this?! What about the training!"

" N..Naruto calm down.. This is a misunderstanding. L...llsten!" One of Naruto's squid sticks fell out of his hand and hit someone's coat.

" Look what you did! What are you going to do about this you stupid brat! You put a stain on Akoki's designer suit! An expensive type of clothing! You better compensate us for this! Give me $100,000 for it!"

" That suit is worth $100,000!?"

" Even if it that type of designer suit costs $100,000, it still looks pretty dang cheap.."

" What did ya say ya bastard!? I'll show you what pain really is!" The guy with the coat rushed towards Jiriaya.

" Naruto.. Now.. Pay close attention... as i'll show a justu you'll be learning how to do, take a good look" A spiral of wind, appeared in Jiriaya's palm and he shoved it in the guy's stomach.

" Uwaaa!"

" Coo.. Cool!" A water balloon flew, and jiriaya caught it.

" Naruto! Let's get going! Time for training!"

" Yeah!" They went out of the town.

" I can really feel the training tension!"

" Here you go! It's a water baloon!"

" huh!? What's up with this thing?"

" Did you pay attention to the justu I just did? What did you see in the justu?"

" Hmm Somehow.. Those guys were spinning around widely.."

" From a normal point of view, it would seem that way... That's right.. They spun, all right!" The water balloon in jiriaya's hand popped.

" It's the same like the tree climbing exercise, pour your chakra and make it move around. And so! With this one you should use the 'water walking' chakra, with a continuous flow.. Spin it around!"

" The chakra with a continues flow.."

" just release your chakra continuously"

" I get it! Okay, until this water balloon is about to boil, do the spinning water training!"

" You'll eventually get good at this! all right.. Let's train 'til nighttime!"

" Hell yeah!"

~ 1 day later~

Naruto awoke next to a still passed out Sasuke and sleeping Jiriaya. He got out of the room, jiriaya rented looking for the bathroom.

" Eh Eh, where's the toilet..? He found the toilet, thinking about his training with the water balloon. he went out, finding a cat playing with his water balloon.

" Meow!"

" Ah! That's not your toy.." The cat made the ballon go back and forth making it pop. Naruto had smiled in his revelation.

" You could at least wake up! Hey Ero-senin!" Naruto popped the water balloon in Jiriaya's face.

" Whaaa!?"

" First stage-cleared!"
