Chapter 36: This might've been hell

Jiraiya got like five blocks away from the place he was recovering at when he heard a noise from his left and turn that way with a kunai in hand, however, when the so called noise showed itself it was only a rabbit and he sighed in relief and continued on. He traveled until he came upon a small village and noticed it being pillaged by rogue ninjas he wondered if he had the strength to fight, but the only way he was going to find out was if he attacked them. He charged at one with punch to the face and knocked the rouge on his back the other one saw it and charged Jiraiya blocked it with a hand got him with a resangan to the stomach and he went flying he heard on behind him and he used hand signs and his hair surrounded him and turned spikey and the third Rouge yelled in pain and also trying to pry his foot off.

Jiraiya then use the time to stand still using his hair as protection and grabbed the Rogue who was stuck Jiraiya grabbed his leg and threw into his charging comrade he eventually release the hair jutsu and the four Rogues noticed who he was immediately and Jiraiya smirked when they all gulped and their nerves running on high.

"You Four don't stand a chance against a legendary Sannin " he said giving off a healthy laugh he powered up another Resangan and attacked all four of them enlargeing it to do so knocking all four of them out. Jiraiya took a deep breath and placed two hands on his knees to steady himself the villagers went to him and helped him as much as they could and thanked him greatly for saving them. Jiraiya eyes landed on one little boy tears streaming down his face.

"They won't hurt you anymore" Jiraiya said giving the boy a big grin, but on the inside his heart was hurting the boy reminded him alot of his own son Sakumo. He went to the boy and went down to one knee and placed and gentle hand on his shoulder.

"I know I am safe, but before you came they had killed my parents for not giving them what they wanted and my father died first and my mother died protecting me and they were going to get me, but you got here in time so Thank you mister for saving me and my village" he said his tears had stopped and gave Jiraiya a small smile and giving him a hug Jiraiya hugged back and the story had gotten to him and a tear escaped he wish he could help the boy, but there wasn't much he could give the boy.

I was in the training field with Sakumo and Mikoto Sakumo wanted to watch his mother train and I agreed reluntantly I told him to stay right where I put Mikoto who was now about 4 months old I felt Sakumo eyes studying me with every move I made and I smirked proudly and then motioned him towards me he got up and walked over there with a smirk of his own I noticed Sharingan immediately.

"you were studying me so you can become a great ninja one day right?" I asked he nodded and grabbed a discarded Kunai that I had thrown and twirled it around his small finger and then threw it at the target and it hit bullseye. I stood there amazed at the sight in front of me I gave him a few more kunai and he tossed them once they were in his small hands and my smile grew ever bigger with pride he then turned his head towards my face and gave me a look.

"Aren't you going to throw them too?" he asked with a growing smirk to his lips I laughed warmly at him and threw the kunai at the log and it hit bullseye and that was without sharingan.

"you still have a long ways to go Sakumo" I replied taking his hand and guiding him back to his sister and was about to train some more when Nena and Kio showed up with their son who was about the same age as Mikoto.

"Oh I didn't know you were here Emiko" Nena responded while Kio sat down next to Sakumo who had picked up his sister and played with her with one of her toys Nena took out the kunai's from the logs and handed them to me I took them and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not asking an for a match relax I just thought you needed company" she said her voice showing concern and her eyes filled worry I chuckled and hid my eyes from her.

"I'm fine Nena seriously I am I accepted it and I'm doing what he would like me to do to remain happy and live my life" I said a small smile getting to my lips of the memories in the distance Kio was keeping Sakumo and Mikoto occupied with with stray leaf that had fallen from the tree below telling them the story of the will of fire that was told to him from such a long time ago.

I walked to the middle log and leaned against it in truth I wasn't alright I was miserable and angry 'Why did you leave me Jiraiya Why!' I thought tears falling from my eyes not only was I missing my husband, but the rumors around town was getting to me too even though I cared deeply for this village the villagers hated me or at least showed distrust towards me for some apparent reason. Did distrust me because of my hair or the path I took? No it was because of family and what my brothers decided to do and I balled my hands into fists at the thought Itachi must've had a reason for what he did and Sasuke was a lost soul looking for answers, but choose to do it all wrong.

Sasuke reminded me alot of the fourth Hokage team in truth they were alot like Naruto Sakura and Sasuke and a smirk quirked my lips through my tears, but I didn't linger on it and raised my head wiping the tears away and looking at Nena with a smile "just remembering the good old times" I said with a grin Nena looked at me concerned.

"You want to grab dinner with Kio and I as well as the kiddos?" she asked hoping I would say yes to the invitation I stare hard at her for a moment and shrugged my shoulders.

"sure why not it should be fun." I answered with a smile walking towards my kids and picking up Mikoto and telling Sakumo to follow closely Nena grinned wide and motioned for Kio. Kio got up with Feron in his arms and Takamaru barking happily Kio laughed.

"Takamaru we're going someplace where you can't go inside" he said Takamaru gave him a look and Kio gave an esperated sigh.

"No arguing with Takamaru and that's final!" he said sternly to the wolf Takamaru gave a disappointed snort and walked away and Kio knew immediately that he was going to his sister's house.

" I swear he disagrees to almost everything" Kio replied shrugging his shoulders and making faces to Feron who giggled heavily.

"I bet, but I don't have an animal so I wouldn't know" I said giving out a small laugh of my own at his attempt to be serious with his animal companion. Nena eyes betrayed her when Kio looked at her and she bursted out laughing.

"you two think it's funny that I'm arguing with a wolf?!" he said with an annoyed look to his face which Feron thought was funny Sakumo was paying attention to the conversation carefully picking out the emotions of everyone. He noticed his mom was happy, however, he noticed it was only a mask of how she really felt.

"Where are we eating at?" Sakumo asked for a change of subject I looked to him with a light in my eyes.

"Good question " I replied looking at Nena.

"we were thinking barbaque." Nena answered with a light step to her walk I just smiled lightly this was first time I had lunch with Nena and Kio it should be interesting.
