Disciple Application!
Poking Ebisu in the temple a few times… Naruko finally concluded he was knocked out cold. Now who was gonna help her with her training?!
"You!" She pointed an accusing finger at the culprit who had caused this. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
The white haired weirdo smirked.
"I'm glad you asked! I am one of the great Sennin! Lady Jiraiya! Toad Sage!" She struck a provocative pose, looking to impress no doubt…
Naruko was completely furious "Hey you old bag! Why'd you do that?! This guy was suppose-to train me! Look at what you did to him!" to further prove her point, she roughly kicked the unconscious jonins leg in frustration, making him twitch.
Unaffected by her outburst, the Sennin flipped her hair to the side and looked down her nose at the young boy. "He tried to get in the way of my research!"
He gave her a confused look.
"I'm a writer~! And I'm currently working on my newest installment of my hit book. Here! I have one with me right now!" She reached into her oversized cleavage to hand the boy the book.
Naruko immediately recognized the filth she called 'literature'.
"YOU WRITE THAT?!"
She grinned in pride, her books were getting very famous!
"That's such a nasty book!" and that was it good mood... gone. "YEAH?! WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! YOUR JUST AN ANNOYING BRAT!"
"Thanks to you and your perverted book I can't train!" once again he indicated towards the still unconscious Ebisu.
"Oh really? That's easy stuff, you want me to teach you?" Lady Jiraiya winked playfully. Not serious of course, she would be arrest for that!
The young boy disappeared in a poof of smoke and in his place stood a girl. Same eye's, and clothing. It was just her hair was slightly longer and flat, her build, and bone structure was much more feminine.
Naruko scowled at the woman. "You cradle robbing hag! I'm a girl!"
The older woman's playful expression turned sour. "You confusing brat! Don't call me a hag!"
"Alright than! Take some responsibility and overlook my training! You're my new sensei from now on!" she left no room for an argument. But what she hadn't expected was the toad summoner actually being as impulsive as her, or maybe more.
"NAH-UH! No way! I don't deal with annoying brats! Find yourself someone else!" losing all the sway in her walk, she turned to leave... apishly.
'Ah… Wait! You're uh… book! Was awesome! Best thing I ever read!" Naruko tried to persuade her, she seemed full of herself anyway.
"What do you take me for? An idiot!? this book isn't for anyone under the ages of eighteen! Nice try kid!"
"BUT YOU HAVE TO TEACH ME! YOU KNOCKED OUT MY TEACHER!" she was desperate now, the older woman only seemed pleased with herself.
"Tough luck kid! Bye!" in a whirl of leafs the busty woman was gone.
Throwing on her soaked jacket and sandals Naruko chased after the woman, ignoring all the stares of people she passed.
…
It didn't take Naruko long to find the woman she was looking for.
Lady Jiraiya was sitting at a booth in the closest Saki bar on the street. Naruko noticed her wandering eyes whenever a good looking waiter would walk past her. To draw even more attention to herself she leaned over as a waiter passed by and pinched him right on the hindquarters. The man squeaked and turned to her, blushing. She only smirked and gave the man a playful wink.
Naruko's smile twisted into a scowl, the old witch was a real cradle robber no doubt about it.
"Hey you old hag! I found you! I'm not leaving you alone unless you be my trainer got it?!"
Lady Jiraiya gave her an annoyed look before smirking. "You really want me to train you that badly?" she nodded her head furiously. "How about this… you do me a favour. And I'll train you? How about that? Sound like a good deal?"
Naruko's grin was practically glowing "Yes!"
"Okay… what I want you to do is find me a tall dark and handsome stud… With the right amount of muscle build, can't be too skinny, can't be too muscly. Got it?" Once again the young girl nodded her head. "Got it!"
The moment she had left two perfect images of what she had just described walked right into her view. "tough luck hun… Oh! Hello boy's! I'm new in town and was wondering if you could show me around!"
…..
It was sometime before the little blond girl came looking for the older woman.
Lady Jiraiya was by nature, a hopeless flirt.
"Hahaha well let me tell you hon! Drinking the- Oh! The heat!" Dramatically, she fell over into one of the men's arms. Pretending to come to, her eyes blinked up at the man who held her. A blush heavy on his face "Ah! I'm so sorry! The heat must've gotten to me-!"
"-HEY! YOU GUYS LEAVE THAT ELDERLY WOMAN ALONE!" Naruko kicked the man who wasn't holding lady Jiraiya.
"Granny you okay?! These guys aren't roughing you up are they?!" she could just wring this little idiot's neck right now.
"G-Granny?! You said you were 20! Yo! her granddaughters insane! Let's get outta here!" Both men ran away leaving a cloud of dust, and a proud Uzumaki girl.
"Ha! Cowards!"
Although unknown to her a killer's gaze bore holes into the back of her blond head. "Why you little…"
"Oh! About that handsome stud you wanted! I found one! Exactly to your description!" she quickly changed the subject.
Jiraiya immediately perked up "Really?! Well?! Where is he?! Where is he?!" she looked back and forth excitedly.
"Hang on once second! I'll get him for you!" she left the woman in a dreamy trance.
~One second later~
"This isn't what I meant by a tall handsome stud…" the white haired woman pushed the head of the horse away from her hair.
Naruko tilted her head to the side, confused. "Than what did you mean?!"
"FOOL! I WAS TALKING ABOUT A MAN! And not just any man! A handsome one! One who would hold you in his arms and send chills up and down your spine!" The toad sage hugged herself, swaying her hips at the thought. The horse beside her gave her a confused look.
"Oh! Well than why didn't you just say so?!"
-Sexy-Jutsu!-
Blood dribbled down her face at the sight before her. A half-naked shinobi dressed in only his black leather pants smirked down at the woman. His semi-long black spiky hair swayed softly in the leaf wind. Blue eyes sparked with a mischievious glint.
…. He was perfect.
"Wow! He just my type!" lady Jiraiya threw herself into the 'mans' well-toned muscle's and squealed in delight. The man gave Jiraiya a nervous smile, "Uh yeah… he's umm someone I made up on the spot."
"It's a deal I'll defiantly train you… only on one condition…" Naruko didn't like the sound of that. "and what would that be?"
"You have to be in that form at all times in my presence." She gave a cheeky grin.
Suddenly, and all too fast, the hunk of a man disappeared leaving a scowling pigtailed girl. "NOT HAPPENING! YOU CRADLE ROBBING HAG!"
~Later that night (back at the hot springs)~
"Okay! The first step to your training will be to observe your chakra control training so far! Show me what you got!" the youngest out of the two hugged herself self-consciously. She and the busty woman only wore two piece bikini's. Although Naruko was still happy she was wearing her short shorts, they offered a little bit coverage.
"Why can't I train in my normal clothes?!" she whined.
"It's better to train lightly and slowly work your way up to more weights… also I was getting sick of looking at that god awful orange jacket! Besides… you look soo adorable with a two piece!" Jiraiya pinched the girl's whiskered cheek.
Focusing chakra into the soles of her feet Naruko swayed back and forth on both feet before falling into the water, just like the last time. She thrashed in the water, slowly making her way back to land.
After that one observation Jiraiya immediately knew the problem, she was doing fine in supplying chakra… the problem was, that something was disrupting her natural flow of chakra.
"Hey, come here for a bit." Suspiciously, Naruko obeyed.
"Now, I want you to release your chakra again." She had done it without question. The toad sages eyes narrowed at the black sealing mark that formed on her taut stomach.
"I knew it! This is Orochimaru's doing! A five palm seal… nothing to serious. I can easily unseal it"
Hiding one hand behind her back the white haired woman gave Naruko a smile. "Okay, next thing I want you to do is raise your hands high in the air!" To demonstrate, Jiraiya also raised hers.
Once again she did as she was told.
~Five Palm Unseal!~
Naruko doubled over in pain at the unexpected punch in the stomach. Her breath was completely knocked out of her, but she still shouted at the sucker punching hag.
"What the hel-gasp!- was th-gasp!-that?!"
Giving her a completely 'I'm innocent' look Jiraiya giggled at her vicious expression. "Don't worry! I hit a pressure point so you could relax more! Trust me!"
"I GOT PUNCHED IN THE STOMACH!" there was no way she would ever forget this.
"Hahaha! I know, I know… just try walking on water again."
Next thing Naruko noticed, she was suddenly a pro at water walking. The old lady was defiantly a cougar, but she knew her stuff.
"W-Wow! I'm doing it! This is so cool!"
"See? What I tell you?" Jiraiya joined her on the water, suddenly becoming very serious.
"Tell me Naruko… have you ever felt another presence of chakra… inside you before?" She thought on this. There must have been only a few times when she felt the presence of 'that' chakra.
"…yeah, there was the time I was fighting Haku on the bridge and I thought… someone… had died…. and just recently, when I had gotten into a fight with a snake dude… I really thought I was gonna die than…"
So, the only way for the girl to tap into the nine-tails chakra is through intense overwhelming emotions. Jiraiya felt sympathy for the girl, she was a walking time bomb, if hit the right way.
"Naruko… you have two types of chakra, your stamina can rival that of any jonin's! And with all that unused chakra inside you… why let it waste? Also… taking time to learn chakra control requires a lot of mental energy which you don't have."
Naruko wasn't sure if she should be offended or happy.
"Starting tomorrow I'm going to teach you a new jutsu." The blond went into hyper mode, jumping and shouting uncontrollably. She didn't stop until Jiraiya had to smack her upside the head, reminding her how they weren't suppose to be at the hot springs after hours.
"But… until tomorrow morning comes…" The temper suddenly dropped (which was impossible in the hot springs) as Naruko recovered from yet another unexpected hit. A feeling of evil dread crawled across her skin at the smirk the old woman sported. "….You're doing suicides on the water! Until the sun comes up!"
"WHAT?!" Naruko had a feeling she just hired the she-devil herself to be her teacher… stupid, stupid girl.
~Meanwhile in another part of the village~
Gaara glared at the full moon as its rays danced across the slowly swaying unlit lanterns that were all placed in the curved body of an arching fish.
This village was much cooler, colourful… as were the people. Just as the thought of colour came up a single person flashed into his mind. Yellow hair, orange and blue jacket, blue eyes… why'd this one particular person stand out the most?
"-Do you not sleep? I was hoping you'd be sleeping… It would make things a lot easier on you."
The redhead immediately recognized him as one of the competitors in the Chunin exam.
"But I suppose it can't be helped. I'm here to kill you, that way I will be one step closer to fighting Sasuke Uchiha…" Gaara didn't answer him or acknowledge his presence, only narrowed his eyes more as the familiar feeling of blood lust clawing at the walls of his mind.
"I watched your match against the spandex freak… I wonder… is your sand faster than my sound?"
"…. 'He' gets blood thirsty during the full moon…" he finally spoke. Gaara turned to look at the intruder.
"W-What are you?!"
