the secret apprentice


Naruto had departed with in his mind the annoying pervert along with Sasuke and Sakura the two'd been travelling for two days now and had arrived at a small town "all right kids the place we're going it's best to keep your heads held high and your kunai pouches sealed tight"

"What kind of place is that" Naruto asked "if it's dangerous we should be prepared to fight not the opposite"

Jiraiya ignored Naruto and led the three genin into what looked like and smelled like a cheap bar when they walked in there was a Genkan but instead of shoe racks there were rows of manikin heads with headbands wrapped around them

Sasuke noticed three Kumo headbands one Kusa a couple from Konoha and a dozen from villages he'd never heard of before

Jiraiya unrwapped his headband placing it on an empty manikin "you three do the same"

The others looked unsure but followed the Sannins orders when they were done they stepped out of the Genkan and into the bar


The bar was a large open room with round tables scattered about near the center was a round bar manned by a pale man in a stained shirt and apron the man looked up at them then smiled revealing pointed teeth "Jiraiya you old toad you come have a seat"

"It's good to see you Akashi" Jiraiya greeted walking over to the bar Jiraiya signaled for the others to follow him

"What the Jiraiya as in Jiraiya of the Sannin" Naruto asked "where where is he I can't sense him"

"Uh Naruto your joking right" Sasuke asked looking between the Sannin and his freind "what are you talking about Sasuke do you see him because I don't"

"We've been travelling with him for two days" Sakura said before she did what few girls would dare she followed Jiraiya to the bar

Naruto and Sasuke rushed over "your Jiraiya of the Sannin" Naruto accused pointing at him "you trained into the ground for a month and never thought to mention that"

behind the bar Akashi laughed "you certainly have a way with kids don't you Jiraiya"

"Oh and you and Yuki will do so much better when you have kids" Jiraiya joked Akashi laughed "when we're blessed with children isn't up to us now for you two" Akashi went to work and quickly mixed toghether three drinks

"Let's see together you three have a bounty of 88,000 which earns you three house reds on the house" Akashi said giving them three bubbling drinks that to Naruto looked alot like blood

"relax Gaki's it's completley edible and there's no sake in it so your mother won't kill me for letting you have one" Naruto took a sip it was warm and tangy and felt soothing to his chakra network filling him with energy

like a food pill but without the disgusting taste especially when it was Sakura's recipe "Hai I've found that ninjas and drinking tend to lead to alot of us dying so I came up with that little drink but I do sell booze"

"Your your your a ninja Akashi San" Sakura asked nervously Akashi nodded "I was once"

"See Akashi and his wife Yuki used to be Jonin for Okuki no sato the village hidden in the Oak tree's" Jiraiya explained

"I've never heard of that village" Sasuke said

"I wouldn't expect it to be in the Konoha curriculum it's a small nation nestled between the land of earth and iron but we were a proud and strong nation and won many battles"

"Were as in past tense so something happened" Naruto pointed out Akashi nodded "Our leader wanted to assassinate our Daimyo I and a few other jonin stopped him and his supporters I killed him myself" Akashi looked sad

"I'm sorry Akashi he didn't mean to bring up Akata"

"It's fine my freind he didn't know besides fathers have to be surpassed by their sons at some point" Akashi said "anyway as reward those who wern't involved with the coup were spared but our village was disarmed and our shinobi banished I found my way here and started this bar a place any shinobi can come and not have to worry about fighting"

"Ain't that right" a dark skinned man said he was muscular and carried eight swords sitting besides him were a red haired girl and a white haired boy with a sucker "this one my favorite places to chill from the vill fool ya fool even brought my kiddies to partieeee a wheeeee"

"It's nice to see you to B" Jiraiya said "how long till your brother finds you"

"Oh probably another day or two" B said "plenty of time to stare at Yuki's sweet rack" his two students groaned and face palmed "ewww B sensei" they said in unison

"Try to do more then stare B" Akashi's eyes flashed bright red "and I'll remind you why my bounty is higher then yours"

"right bounties we did come for a reason Akashi" Jiraiya rifled through his pockets until he pulled out a picture of a girl with wavy brown hair and freckles "she'd be about ten years older then she is now you see her recently"

Akashi studied the picture "sure she was here about a week ago said she was going to a festival in Tanzaku Gai"

"Any particular reason why" Sasuke asked Akashi shrugged "I assume to have some cotton candy and maybe ride a ferris wheel she seemed to want to go for buisness then anything else"

"Tanzaku Gai is only a days journey away if we tree hop Pervert" Naruto said Jiraiya nodded "hey wait a second show some respect Gaki"

"I've known you for over a month and you didn't tell me your name at any point I see no reason to offer respect"

Jiraiya was going to loudly and proudly declare that he was a super pervert when three men walked into the bar two on the left and right looked the same and wore orange kimonos with katanas and headbands with a cave featuring a gash

the one in the middle wore a Kumo flak jacket with a long sleeved black shirt and chains wrapped around his chest making an X his heaband also had a scratch on it

"Where's Sanshouo No Naruto" the Kumo nin asked "I've come to take his head"

Naruto stepped forward "I'm Sanshouo No Naruto who are you" the man laughed "I'm Assaiki a missing of Kumo with me are my subordinates Ka and Fu from Kabanzugakure they'll make sure I don't miss"

"I wouldn't if I were you" B said standing up his drunken happiness gone "there ain't no fighting allowed in this establishment the owner is strict about that"

"Please we're shinobi Demon fighting is in our nature and besides" the chains wrapped around him uncoiled "this runt won't last just like his coward of a father"

"WHAT" Naruto shouted in fury his fist clenching and his kusarigama unsealed how dare this fool mock his fahter he wasn't just going to die he was going to suffer in agony

"you should have listened to your freind Assaiki" Akashi said standing behind him Ka and Fu leapt away from their boss and drew their swords Akashi flicked his fingers and both men fell the the ground dead a nail inbedded in their jugulars

"You I heard of you your supposed to be dead an urban myth Akashi the Vampire"

Akashi kicked Assaiki and tossed a nail pinning him to the roof "Will you leave peacefully" Akashi asked Assaiki ripped his shirt freeing himself from the nail and landed "are you kidding a 20,000,000 ryo bounty plus that Sanshouo brat the Raikage seems to be obssessed with and I'll be welcomed back into the village with open arms"

"I was afraid you were going to say that" Akashi said regretfully Akashi pulled out a single shuriken and threw it the chains Assaiki wore came to life and slashed the shuriken into pieces "ha is that the best you can do"

Akashi made a hand sign and the shuriken vanished the real one cutting through his chest and out the other side "a genjutsu but when" Assaiki asked before he fell to the ground dead

"No fighting in my bar" Akashi said before he returned to bartending


In a different city but still on the same country a brunette walked into a hotel she was pretty wit wavy brown hair and blue eyes with three freckles under each eye

she was very attractive with A cup breasts and an hourglass figure contained under a light pink kimono shirt black short shorts with mesh leggings and heels she walked over to the man behind the desk who was blushing as he stared at the new guest

"a room for the next few days" the clerk quickly got her a key "of course miss and your name" he stammered out

"Iburi Yukimi Iburi" she said taking her key "thank you"


In case you haven't figured it out yet Yukimi is not an OC but where she's from well you can look that up yourselves ja ne
