Chapter 45: Travels

Arcana pov

That pervert is giving his lame intro still, man he is lame but strong that's for sure.

"Kisame, we're leaving." Itachi says and him and Kisame start to retreat down the hallway.

"You're not getting away!" Jiraiya says and does hand signs suddenly the scenery changes to the the inside of… something, a toad I think.

"Brats, stay still!" Jiraiya shouts and me, Touka and Naruto obey and then intestines or whatever are going after Itachi and Kisame.

They run towards a dead end but Itachi uses his Amaterasu to break a hole to escape.

They got away… Jiraiya releases his jutsu and goes to inspect the flames of Amaterasu.

"Are you guys okay?" I ask Touka and Naruto.

"Yeah, I think so." Naruto says but Touka is silent

Then I notice Jiraiya fly to the floor and I see Guy standing there! Oh my gosh I missed seeing that pervert getting kicked in the face!

I now see Guy begging for forgiveness and its quite funny.

"Where's Sasuke!?" Naruto yells.

We go to Sasuke and see that he is in bad shape and unconscious, it's the effects of Tsukiyomi.

Jiraiya tells Guy to take Sasuke back to the village and Guy goes on his way. Jiraiya tells us that we need to depart but Naruto is stubborn as he is worried about his teammate. Jiraiya however tells him that Tsunade, the person we are looking for may be able to help Sasuke and that kills his stubbornness.

And so we continue our search for Tsunade at least not much has changed from the main story,
I think.

As we travel Jiraiya stops and looks back.

"You two can leave if you want?"

"What?" I say.

"Those two who attacked you kids are Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, two S-rank criminals part of an organization called Akatsuki."

"Akatsuki?" Naruto asks.

"Yes." looking at Naruto.

"And they are after you Naruto." Jiraiya looks at me and Touka.

"So you two can go back, you don't need to risk your lives."

'Is he trying to tell us to go home!? No way!'

"No." I say.

"I'm going, I know about Naruto's burden and the horrible life he had! But I don't care, his my friend and I will protect him."

Naruto and Touka look at in in a new light but Jiraiya doesn't look convinced.

"Can you protect him from a bunch of S-rank ninja?" he asks.

"Probably not" I say honestly because right now there is no way I can beat the Akatsuki.

"But I will still protect him!"

Jiraiya looks at me stoically.

"I still want to come with too." Touka says.

"Guys…" Naruto is quite happy.

Jiraiya give a hearty laugh, "ha ha ha! You kids sure are stubborn, let's go then!"

So we continue our journey.

After a while of travelling in silence we see a village and Jiraiya tells Naruto that if he wants to combat powerful shinobi be must get stronger.

"So in order to make you stronger, I will teach you this move"

A blue ball appears in his hand, it's the Rasengan! His teaching him that know, wasn't he supposed to use it on a chunin shinobi?

He slams the Rasengan into the bark of a tree and it makes a decent sized hole in the tree.

'That was so awesome!'

"That was so cool, how do I do it, tell me!" Naruto says excited, Touka is amazed too and it's no surprise."

"Realx kid." Jiraiya says trying to get Naruto to quiet down.

Jiraiya then tell Touka and myself that we are not allowed to see the training Naruto is given for the Rasengan. Guess it's understandable but it would be really cool if |I could learn it too, this sucks. I agree to Jiraiya's terms but I ask him a favor in return.

"I wanted you to teach me how to get a summoning contract, but not with the toads, I want my own summon."

"No can do kid."

"I need to get stronger too, stronger so I can protect Naruto and my other friends!"

"Fine, fine. You really are stubborn sheesh." Jiraiya says all nonchalant.

"Also can you help Touka with jutsu?"

"Fine after I'm done with Naruto."

"Okay then."

So Jiraiya goes off with Naruto to teach him the Rasengan. Touka and I wait for him.

"Thank you." I say.

She looks puzzled, "For what?"

"You hardly know me or Naruto but you are sticking with us and I appreciate it."

I see that she starts blushing but she turns around, "Wh-Whatever, you helped me, I'm just paying you back."

I like this girl.

Jiraiya returned at this point and he began to sk Touka if she knew about jutsu and her affinity.

"I only know what Arcana and Kurai told me, as for my affinity… no." Touka says.

"Weren't you in the academy?" Jiraiya asks.

"No she wasn't, Naruto and I found her in the village but she had no place to go so we took her in, she's not even a genin."

'This is bad! I bet his suspicious but his hiding it'

"What about that jutsu I saw her use, like an appendage?"

'He saw that?'

"It's a kekkai genkai called the Kagenune." I say.

"The Kagenune? Never heard of that one. Strange."

'His on to us!'

"Okay then let's get on with your training, Touka right? Come over here." He says to her then he looks at me, "You, brat! Wait there!"

They go off.

After like half an hour Jiraiya comes back and the left side of his face is red, looks like he got slapped, probably tried his luck with Touka.

"Where's Touka?" I ask.

"Doing some chakra exercises." He says in quite a perverted manner

"Okay… so how do I get a summon?" I saw changing the subject.

"It's not easy, brat, and may cost you your life."

"Bring it on!"

"Stubborn indeed, what kind of summoning do you want?"

"A wolf"

End

Done! I kinda forgot some of the stuff that happens her so I may skip a few things. Anyway got an affinity in mind for Touka? Let me know, for now I'm thinking wind.
