Beta: Ana-DaughterofHades

God-Father

Feeling the icy depths of the water dragging down his body which had started to turn cold, Jiraiya had no regrets as his life slowly drained away. Only for a visual of sunny blonde hair and glistening blue orbs, which all belonged to a feisty little blonde he had come to love and had the honor of training, appear in his head.

'Chibi-chan, it seems this is where we part... It looks like I won't see the day you finally get that Hokage hat you've been fighting so hard to get nor when you finally bring back that Uchiha brat who means the world to you. Gotta admit, I was curious to see how that strange love story would conclude. An Uchiha and an Uzumaki tying the knot? Both clans are rolling in their graves! Konohagakure first god clan! Haha!' A round of laughter escaped the consciousness of Jiraiya as a beacon of light called forth his soul.

Huddled in the corner of her room, clutching an overly large orange toad plushie scattered with pink sakura flowers and a pink heart on its forehead, sat Naruko. Her empty blue eyes stared across her room, body feeling numb, as pain gripped her chest, burying her head in the stuffed toy as she remembered a memory that took place during her two-year absence when she traveled across the four nations with Jiraiya. For three weeks, the two had been crashing at one of the local towns located outside the border of the Land of Fire.

Naruko remembered waiting inside their hotel room for Jiraiya to return, seeing as the toad sannin had promised to show her how to create seals. Yet the sun was starting to set, four hours had gone by, and he still had not returned. Naruko was pissed, knowing without a doubt where that pervy mentor of hers had run off to and got to her feet.

Meanwhile, unaware of the maelstrom coming his way, Jiraiya was relaxing as he had his arms around two busty babes who were cozying up to him. Both girls were stunning and right up Jiraiya's alley. Watching the giggling brunette pour him a drink, a small tan hand pulled the curtains to his VIP room aside, and a furious blonde came marching his way. "You pervy-old bastard! I knew I would find you here!" Jiraiya immediately paled as those flying blonde locks of hair reminded him of the famous Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. It was terrifying how much Naruko acted like Kushina as the blonde popped her knuckles and angrily marched up to him.

"Oh my, it's Naru-chan~!" happily said the charming brunette on Jiraiya's right as the beautiful, elegant lady on his left giggled.

"It seems once again, Jiraiya-sama has made our darling Naru-chan angry~!" Both Naruko and Jiraiya had only been staying in the town for three weeks, but the residents had already become familiar with them, especially those in the red-light district. Jiraiya barely had time to defend himself when Naruko lunged in his direction and throttled him with punches. By the time Naruko was finished with the sannin, the only thing left was a puddle of black and blue as she dusted off her hands. Shortly after Naruko vented her anger, slender arms pulled her aside, and Naruko found herself in the lap of the charming brunette with a cute face and brown doe eyes.

"My sweet Naru-chan, Chiharu-oneesama deeply missed seeing your cute face!" Squeezed tightly in the frail woman's arms, who rubbed her cheeks against Naruko's round whiskered ones, Naruko felt a tad bit annoyed but was used to the brunette's actions.

"That's right. Tonight is the lantern festival. Jiraiya-sama, why don't you take Naruko out into town and allow her to enjoy herself?" spoke the serious voice of a raven beauty. Naruko got ready to protest.

"I don't care about a festival! I want the old perv to train me!"

With the tilt of her head and an amiable smile, the raven beauty opened her mouth and said, "There will be tons of yummy foods and fun games to play~!"

Ears perking from the mention of food and games, Naruko's foodie instincts awoke, and the girl quickly changed her opinion. "Alright, I'll go, and, pervy-sage, you better treat me to all the fun game and food stands they have to offer since you skipped out on training me!" said Naruko, who moments later could be seen walking down the street in a pretty orange kimono, blonde hair styled in a bun, munching on a tasty meat-bun.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya shed tears for his empty wallet as, without any money, trips to the brothel would have to be put on pause. "Oi, chibi-chan, aren't girls supposed to watch their diets or something?" said Jiraiya, whose wallet had become empty from buying all the snacks Naruko demanded that he buy for her.

"Please, I'm not like Ino! Besides, I can eat all the food I want and still stay slim!" Naruko stuck out her chest in pride, to which Jiraiya snorted and blamed it on the kid's high-metabolism, which she without a doubt got from her Uzumaki side. They continued walking when Naruko spotted a father and daughter up ahead. It seemed the man had won the girl a stuffed animal that she wanted. As he handed it over, a big smile overcame the girl's face and engulfed her father in a tight hug which he happily returned.

Naruko could see another father and daughter pair sharing a popsicle, and suddenly Naruko was hit with a touch of sadness. When Naruko was little, she had no one until Iruka was introduced into her life and showed a mother/sister's warmth and love. Yet sadly, Naruko was never able to experience the love a father has for his daughter.

Believe it or not, Naruko was jealous of Ino, whose father, every day after the academy was over, would pick her up and call her his darling little hime before asking about her day. This display of affection showed how much Ino was treasured and loved by her father, that it caused Naruko to wonder if she had a father, would he treat her the same way?

Noticing a pensive air coming from the blonde, Jiraiya took a look at the blonde and followed her line of sight before sighing to himself. 'If Minato were still alive, he would've definitely treasured the little chibi-chan! Heck, with his personality, the worrywart would have definitely become an overprotective father with a huge daughter-complex and would've done everything in his power to keep that Uchiha brat from tainting the pure chibi!'

Not liking seeing the little-chibi so sad, Jiraiya quietly sneaked away. After Naruko was brought out of her musings, she turned towards the pervy sage's direction, only for her eyebrow to twitch as she saw a blank space of air and balled her hands into fists.

"That damn pervy sage...! Where the heck did he go!? When I see him next time, I'm going to give him hell for leaving me yet again!" angrily screeched Naruko, only to hear a voice nearby chuckle and speak.

"Now, chibi-chan, what have I said about your language?" The teasing in his voice only further aggravated the hot-tempered blonde, who swung around, ready to give the old sage a piece of her mind, only to have something large and soft thrown into her arms.

"W-What the..?!" murmured Naruko, surprised to see herself holding a large plushie of an orange frog with pink sakura petals scattered all over its body. Despite it being a tad bit girly in Naruko's opinion, it was cute, and a part of her couldn't help but love it as she shot her eyes back over to Jiraiya, only to see the sannin grinning with pride.

"You can think of it as a sorry gift for skipping out on training. How about after we finish, I show you a few tricks concerning sealing jutsu?" This statement caused Naruko's big blue eyes to sparkle with joy as the blonde clutched the orange plushie tightly to her chest.

"Alright, now that's what I'm talking about!" Naruko happily cheered as the two continued to enjoy the festival. Naruko may have grown up without a father, but she did have the old-man, Kakashi-sensei, and even the Pervy Sage. All three cared and bestowed upon her a small warmth of love that Naruko expected she would have received if she had a father, and for that, she was extremely thankful towards the three.

Back inside her apartment, the door was slammed open by a panting and tired Iruka, who Kakashi informed about Jiraiya's death. Knowing how much the sannin meant to Naruko, Iruka, without waste, made her way towards Naruko's apartment. Once inside, Iruka immediately spotted the blonde with a broken look in her eyes, curled into a ball like a child while clutching a frog plushie.

The sight broke the chunin's heart as it reminded her of the day Naruko was brought back to the village after she and Sasuke first fought. Never again did Iruka want to see such a pained look in the blonde's eyes as her Naruko always looked better with a smile and bright glittering eyes that lifted people's spirits and reminded them of the sun.

Walking over, Iruka took a seat beside the blonde and pulled the short girl into a hug. Voice laced with no emotion, Naruko began to speak. "Ruka-nee... Why do all the people I love... always find a cruel way to leave me? The old-man, Sasuke, Itachi, and now the Pervy Sage... Ruka-nee... I-I can take no more heartbreak! It's too much to bear!" Such words gripped Iruka's heart in pain, which felt like it was shredding when the blonde began to break down and cry in her arms.

Holding the sobbing blonde, Iruka wanted to ask kami-sama why he had to put her Naruko through so much pain! Her sweet Naruko had a big heart, but just like the rest of the world, Naruko was human, and even she had limits. Iruka rubbed gentle circles on the crying blonde's back, who laid with her head on her lap.

Iruka felt tears slip down her own cheeks as she wondered just when her Naruko-chan would be granted the happiness she deserved? 'Because no one deserves to go through this much pain,' mentally said the chunin, staring at an old picture of team seven Naruko hung on the wall. While comforting Naruko, the chunin suddenly sensed an odd premonition in her gut when she saw a crack appear in the frame, directly over Sasuke.

Omake: Seductress

"Kyaa, Naru-chan is still so adorable~! Maa, you only come to see us whenever Jiraiya-sama sneaks off to visit us. You know, Lady Botan said she has a job position opening for you here! Why don't you work with us; that way I get to see this cute face of yours everyday~!" Naruko found herself squished and squeezed by Chiharu, one of the girls who worked at the Blooming Peony brothel, who took a liking to the cute and feisty blonde.

"Wait! You do know I'm thirteen?!" A furious blush had taken over Naruko's body as she exclaimed these words to Chiharu, who was hugging her like a stuffed toy.

"Are you sure you should be saying such words, miss kunoichi? Though times have changed, children are still exploited and used as soldiers, and as a girl, you must use everything in your arsenal for the sake of your village. Meaning one's body may also have to be sacrificed-'' The raven beauty, Azami was her name, lit a cigarette, only for her fingers trembled as a sudden burst of cold murderous air shot her way. Narrowing her eyes, she saw it came from Jiraiya. Something which came as a shock as he usually gave the impression of a foolish man whenever he visited their establishment.

Yet... 'He's very protective of this girl and doesn't want her introduced into the dark aspect of being a kunoichi.' Regaining her senses, the woman blew out a puff of smoke from her cigarette.

"Then again, times have changed. Look at the legendary Goddess of Shinobi, Hashirama, a woman who was known not just for her beauty, but also for how she ruthlessly fought her way through the battlefield—praised for her formidable skills, strength, and bravery. Still, one should not underestimate the skills of seduction," said Azami, crossing her long, slender pale legs as Naruko, with her arms crossed, nodded her head.

"Mmm, Azami-oneechan has a point! I mean, look at my oiroke no jutsu and how it effortlessly took out the Ruka-nee Steal- Ebisu, old-man third, pervy sage, and even Kiba! But lately, in my spare time, I've been thinking of how to use my oiroke no jutsu on women, and I think I finally came up with something." Hopping off Chiharu's lap, Naruko formed the famous oiroke no jutsu hand sign and issued a puff of smoke. Once the smoke disappeared, there stood a handsome and attractive blonde man, who reminded Jiraiya a little of Minato and how Naruko would've looked if she were born a boy.

A pair of long arms reached out towards Azami, who merely lifted a curious eyebrow towards the attractive blonde Adonis. She found herself lifted off her feet and into his muscular chest. She felt herself blush like a young teenager when those large hands gently gripped her chin, directing her eyes to meet those mesmerizing blue jewel orbs.

"A beautiful woman such as yourself does not deserve to be here. Let me whisk you off your feet and into my arms." Hugging her tightly, his deep, silky voice penetrated her ears, causing her cheeks to blush. His handsome face leaned in close as his minty breath brushed against her trembling lips. "You're mine, Azami-neechan, and I'll never allow anyone to steal you away from me."

Such a firm and possessive promise caused Azami's legs to tremble. The seductive tone of his voice had reduced the mature beauty to a puddle of goo, but it didn't stop there. Lips brushing softly against her cheeks, a sexy voice whispered in her ear, "Delicious~!" The poor woman was down for the count as Chiharu in the background squealed like an overzealous fangirl.

An hour later, Jiraiya could only bite back the resentment of jealousy as he watched the chibi-chan in her new male form, surrounded by a bunch of beauties, who threw themselves in the blonde's lap, every time she opened her mouth to throw out a pick-up line at them.

"Tch, I don't know whether I should cry or pick up a pen and take notes. Don't believe I'm saying this, but the chibi's got the makings of a killer seductress... and that scares me for some reason." Jiraiya paled and became scared as he knew when the day came when he parted this world and joined his prodigy student and wife, he was in for a world of pain for corrupting their beloved daughter.
