A/N: You guys are in for a treat. I think this is my longest chapter so far. Also just a discretion, I won't be writing so much about love interests. At least not yet. I know some people have some love fantasies they would like to see Naruto be in, but they're little kids... they might have a crush here and there, but we will see how it goes. Let me know what you guys think.

P.s. I wrote this chapter in maybe 3 hours. So don't give me too much hate haha I'm not going to go over it and edit it. I just want to get my idea/story out there as fast as I can.

Chapter 3: Tsunade's Assistant and her Pig

She woke up and yawned as she stretched her arms out. She turned to her left to find her master's pet pig, Ton Ton still sleeping. She smiled at Ton Ton and petted her head then got up to wash her face in the restroom. She came back to the bedroom and realized that her master wasn't in there, she then had an irritated look on her face.

"Ugh, I bet she's at that damn bar betting her money away." Shizune said out loud.

She remembered yesterday that Tsunade was eyeing the bar. Shizune had to drag her master to stop her from entering the bar.

"Oh come on I was only going for a little drink!" Tsunade lied.

After remembering that memory, Shizune woke up Ton Ton and told her that they were going to go fetch their master at the bar. When she got the bar, it was empty to her surprise. The only person there was the bartender cleaning some empty beer glasses. She walked up to the bartender and asked him if he had seen a woman wearing a green shirt with a diamond on her forehead.

"Oh, I've seen her alright, and if she knows any better, she'd better never come back!" The bartender spit a loogy on the ground.

Shizune facepalmed and sighed, knowing that Tsunade most likely cheated someone and booked it. She asked the bartender nicely if he'd seen which direction Tsunade ran to, and the bartender pointed south. Along the way, Shizune saw a group of angry mobs making their way back to the bar and knew those were the people chasing Tsunade. That gave her the impression that at least she was heading the right direction towards her master.

Shizune grew tired of searching for her master, going from bar to bar, casino to casino. On her journey to search for her master, she had heard rumors about the Leaf Village being attacked by the Kyubi. It wasn't long after that she decided to go back to the leaf village to check on things. The third Hokage had taken the role as the new Hokage now, so she went to visit him. She asked him if she had seen Tsunade, but unfortunately he had not. Shizune continued to ask how he was doing and if he stayed in contact with Lord Jiraiya.

"The last time I saw Jiraiya was about a year ago. He visited when the Kyubi attacked." Hiruzen said. He was about to mention that Jiraiya took in Naruto, but that was top secret information.

Shizune thanked the Hokage and left his office. She decided to stay in the leaf Village for a month to rest, she was tired of moving around without her Master. During that month, she heard rumors about Jiraiya from other ninjas and even civilians.

"Yeah I heard he took in the new Jinchuriki, but I don't know how true that is." One ninja said to another.

"Bro, Shanuri told me that he saw Jiraiya-sama holding it at the funeral!" The other ninja whispered loudly.

"Oh my goodness, we all know Shanuri is a damn liar. When has he ever told the truth? The man says he has 3 wives, each from different villages." They two ninjas laughed and went their way.

Shizune pondered the thought of Jiraiya actually taking in a child, especially the Jinchuriki. She thought to herself that he would never do that, he's too busy peeping on women.

Shizune continued her journey to find Tsunade. Each time getting closer, and sometimes it felt she completely lost her track. 5 years had passed by in total and she had already given up by the 4th year. She decided that it was time to go on her own path, that she didn't need a master anymore. During those 5 years, she had grown into a better woman and had forgiven her Master. She thought to herself that maybe she had held Tsunade back. Tsunade had a traumatizing past, and maybe she deserved to have fun and enjoy life. Ton Ton was sad, even to this day she would beg Shizune to continue the search, but each time Shizune said that she didn't want to bother Lady Tsunade anymore. Ton Ton grew tired and angry and ran away and told Shizune she would find Lady Tsunade herself. Shizune tried to stop Ton Ton as she chased her through the woods. She lost Ton Ton for a few days but heard a rustling through the bushes nearby. She took her time to sneak up on the bush, but when she jumped out, there was nothing there.

Naruto was playing with his clone like he usually does. Naruto would mimic Jiraiya's fighting style, and the clone would mimic Tsunade's. He practiced like this almost everyday by the river near the forest. That particular day, he heard a bush rustling nearby. Naruto and his clone took a fighting stance, thinking this would be their first threat. Jiraiya and Tsunade weren't around since Naruto likes to practice privately. Suddenly, a tiny pig jumps out of the bush. Naruto stared blankly and so did the tiny little pig. Naruto had his clone disappear as he deemed this situation not a threat. Naruto studied the pig for a few seconds and noticed it was wearing a red dress and a pearled necklace. This image made Naruto laugh hysterically as he had never seen such a bizarre animal. Naruto dropped to the ground from laughing so hard and held his stomach. Ton Ton grew angry and yelled out,

"Hey what's so dang funny, Whiskers?!"

Naruto screamed in horror, "oh my god! You can speak?! AHHHH!"

Ton Ton got more angry at Naruto, "Yes I can! And I can understand you too you rude little boy!"

Naruto started to feel bad, he never meant any harm. He decided to make amends with Ton Ton and apologized. Ton Ton reluctantly accepted his apology. Naruto noticed that Ton Ton looked a bit beat up, her clothes were dirty and she had marks on her face from dirt.

"So umm... what's your name?" Naruto asked.

"Oh my name? It's Ton Ton." She replied.

Naruto almost spoke out loud again but remembered to keep his mouth shut. He was thinking to himself, "hm so it even has a name." Naruto then introduced himself to Ton Ton.

"Nice to meet you Ton Ton! My name's Naruto Uzumaki!" As he pointed to himself with his thumb.

After the introduction, Ton Ton's stomach started to growl and Naruto noticed.

"Ya hungry? Come on, I'll get you some food! We're camped not too far from here." Naruto invited her. She was a bit skeptical and it could be seen on her face. "Don't worry, I won't eat ya." Naruto laughed.

She hesitated for a second but she hadn't eaten in 3 days. Naruto asked if he could pick her up since she looked like she barely had any energy left to even walk. She agreed and Naruto scooped her up in his arms. As soon as Naruto picked her up, a woman jumped out of the bushes. Ton Ton realized it was Shizune and her soul left her body. Naruto stared at Shizune, and Shizune stared back at Naruto and she also noticed Ton Ton in his arms. As soon as they locked eyes, Shizune instantly got angry from chasing Ton Ton for 3 whole days.

"You stupid little pig!!! Get over here now!" Shizune screamed.

Ton Ton screeched in fear and told Naruto, "Run!"

Naruto didn't hesitate, and started sprinting down the riverbank. Shizune gave chase and wasn't too far behind Naruto. She thought to herself,

"This little brat is pretty fast for a kid.. he's lucky I barely have any energy left." As her stomached growled. She then got angry at that thought and yelled at Ton Ton, "when I get my hands on you I'm going to turn you into soup you little pig!"

Ton Ton grew even more scared and asked Naruto if he could speed it up. Naruto was running as fast as he possibly could and knew he couldn't run any faster. Shizune was starting to pick up her pace and was almost close enough to grab Naruto by his collar. As she reached for Naruto, he thought quickly and jumped onto the river and started running on the water surface. Shizune was caught by surprise and thought,

"What the hell?! This kid can run on water?!"

Shizune then jumped on the water as well still chasing Naruto. Naruto didn't think that a ninja was chasing them, so he had to think of a better strategy. He ran to the other side of the river and into the forest, hoping to lose Shizune. As Naruto jumped from branch to branch, surprising Shizune even more, she also jumped from branch to branch. This went on for a few minutes until Naruto was close to his destination. As Naruto jumped out of the forest and into the sunlight, he yelled out,

"Raiya! Granny!"

Tsunade and Jiraiya stopped what they were doing as they turned their heads towards Naruto, and saw him jumping through the air. They ran towards Naruto sensing fear in his face. As soon as they got to Naruto, Tsunade noticed Ton Ton cuddled into a ball with her eyes closed..

"Ton Ton?!" Tsunade exclaimed.

Ton Ton heard her voice and opened her eyes, and in disbelief she whispered, "Lady Tsunade?..."

It took Ton Ton a while to realize that it really was her Master. With little energy left, she jumped out of Naruto's arms and into Tsunade's. She was ecstatic to finally find her master.

"What are you doing here?!" Tsunade happily exclaimed at Ton Ton.

Ton Ton was about to explain the situation when suddenly, Shizune jumped out of the forest and into the air yelling out, "I GOT YOU NOW YOU LITTLE PIGGY!"

Shizune was jumping straight into the group and couldn't stop herself. She was at max velocity going straight to Tsunade. They crashed and fell to the ground with Shizune landing right on top of Tsunade. Shizune rubbed her head from hitting Tsunade but she still hadn't realized who she was. Shizune opened her eyes, and to her fear, she saw her Master.

"You... little... bitch!" Tsunade screamed at Shizune. At this realization, Shizune ran as fast as she could from Tsunade and now Shizune had become the one being chased.

Shizune and Ton Ton were scarfing down the food that Naruto had made for them. Naruto insisted in cooking instead since he was the one who caused the trouble. It wasn't the best cooked food, but it was a lot better than any other 5 year old could make. Naruto learned how to cook since they camped out so much. He learned about herbs and medicine from Tsunade, and learned how to grill meat from Jiraiya. He had an unlimited amount of ingredients out in the forest, and as a hungry little Jinchuriki, he was always experimenting with food. He made his signature fish soup for Shizune and Ton Ton. Usually, he would add a pack of ramen noodles, but they hadn't gone shopping for a few weeks, so he didn't have any on hand. The soup by itself was still good with some rice on the side though.

After their stomachs full and a sigh of relief, Shizune and Ton Ton apologized to Tsunade and especially to Naruto. Tsunade explained to Shizune and Ton Ton about Naruto, and why she has been M.I.A for the past 5 years. Tsunade was disappointed that it took Shizune that long to find her, especially after she explained to Shizune that she left encrypted messages along the way. Tsunade also apologized that she had been gone for so long, but it was necessary to protect Naruto. Shizune completely understood now but was still a bit sad. After such a long time, she had finally decided not to follow in her masters footsteps. She was still happy of course to reunite with Tsunade again, but she was torn between two worlds. She explained that to Tsunade and she also understood. Tsunade continued to tell her that she has dedicated herself to Naruto and Jiraiya, and that if Shizune wanted to join them, it would make her tremendously happy. Ton Ton was definitely going to stay with her master, no doubt about that. Shizune on the other hand, told Tsunade that she had to think about it, but she would stay with them for at least a week to make her decision.

During that week, Naruto would not leave Shizune's side. He really liked her being there and liked having a new face to the group. He talked her ears off about their adventures with Jiraiya and Tsunade, and he asked Shizune how she knew Tsunade. She explained that Tsunade was her master and that she taught her skills of being a ninja. Naruto was excited and asked Shizune if Jiraiya and Tsunade were considered his masters then.

"Well, it depends. Do they take care of you?" Shizune asked innocently.

"Mhm!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Do they teach you ninjas skills?"

"Mhm!"

"Hmmm... Do they scold you?" Shizune asked.

Naruto laughed, "Yeah all the time! But that's because sometimes I'm naughty."

Shizune laughed and said, "then they're definitely your masters as well!"

Naruto laughed with her and asked if she wanted to go play, and Shizune happily accepted. She really liked Naruto, he was such a bright and positive kid. He was also really smart for his age and Shizune knew that Tsunade and Jiraiya were doing great raising Naruto.

Naruto took Shizune's hand and basically dragged her to his favorite spot by the river. He let go of her hands once they arrived and asked her,

"Shizune! Do you know how to make shadow clones?"

"Mhm I do!" Shizune then summoned a shadow clone. "Want me to teach you Naruto?" Shizune was willing to give him pointers.

Naruto shook his head, "No I'm okay. I just wanted to play, that's why I asked. Shadow clone Justsu!" Naruto then summoned his own clone.

Shizune's mouth dropped. She couldn't believe a 5 year old had mastered the shadow clone. Naruto then encouraged her to play with him. He suggested playing tag and Shizune agreed. Naruto wanted to hide first.

"The rules are simple. You just have to catch the real me, and then we will switch after!" Naruto said.

Shizune nodded and Naruto ran into the woods. It didn't last long until Shizune caught the real Naruto.

"Awh man, that wasn't even 5 minutes!" Naruto groaned.

"Fair is fair Naruto, now you have to chase me! And don't think I'll take it easy on you!" Shizune teased.

Naruto was excited because he knew it'd be a real challenge now. Up until this point, he always played hide and seek with only his clones, and it got quite easy since he knew himself better than anyone. But now that a new player had entered, he was going to go all out.

Shizune sped off into the forest and Naruto counted to 30. It took Naruto 20 minutes until he actually spotted Shizune, but the game wasn't over yet, now he had to chase her and tag her. He and his clone started chasing Shizune but she was too quick. This was too easy for Shizune, she barely broke a sweat. This went on for another 20 minutes and Naruto grew tired and knew he needed to come up with a new plan instead of just chasing her.

"Are you tired Naruto? Want to give up?" Shizune teased.

"No way! I've got something up my sleeves, I'm going to get you Shizune!" Naruto said while showing his biceps.

Shizune laughed and ran off while Naruto gave chase again. After a few minutes of chasing, Naruto thought to himself, "now!".

"Hey Shizune! Look behind you! I'm so close!" Naruto said.

Shizune looked behind her knowing that he was lying but wanted to amuse him anyways, "Ha! There's no way you're ever going to catch me Naruto."

After saying that, she turned to look forward again and somehow, Naruto was right in front of her. He sucker punched her in the stomach, and POOF a cloud of white smoke appeared, signaling it was her clone. The real Shizune that was hiding somewhere else received the memory from the clone that just disappeared. Shizune sat up in surprise and thought, "when the heck did he get in front of my clone?".

Suddenly, she heard some rustling bushes nearby and knew it was Naruto. She then heard another bush rustling on the other side as well and knew it was Naruto's clone. They both jumped out of the bushes and Shizune jumped to dodge his head butt from both sides. The two Naruto's heads collided and POOF, both of the Naruto's disappeared.

"No freaking way..." Shizune said out loud. She finally realized how much of a prodigy Naruto really was. She realized that Naruto had been using multiple shadow clone jutsus this whole time. That's how Shizune's clone was caught in the first place, and that's how Naruto suddenly appeared in front of her clone previously. Shizune started hearing tree branches and bushes rustling from all directions at this point and knew that Naruto received the memory information from the two clones that had just disappeared; Naruto knew where the real Shizune was.

She started to run away but then saw 3 Naruto's chasing her from behind. She shrieked from fear and goosebumps started to climb up her back as Narutos started to laugh and giggle. Now there were 4 Narutos, then 5, now there was a total of 8 Narutos chasing her. Shizune stopped in her tracks as 3 more Narutos appeared in front of her way. 2 more Narutos showed up, totaling 13 of them. The real Naruto finally stepped out of the shadows with an evil grin on his face.

"Give up Shizune, we have you surrounded!" Naruto yelled out.

"Never! You'll have to kill me if-" Shizune started laughing at the fact how much in character she was getting into while playing with Naruto. She coughed to clear her throat and then went back to character, "you'll have to kill me if you want me!"

"Very well then... Get her minions!" Naruto pointed and demanded his shadow clones. All the Narutos roared as they charged towards Shizune. They all jumped on her and started to tickle her every.

"Okay okay! I give up! I SUREENDERRRRR!" Shizune exclaimed in laughter.

"You didn't tell me that Naruto could use the shadow clone Justsu," Shizune asked Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Naruto continued playing with his one clone nearby as the adults spoke in privacy sipping on tea. Tsunade and Jiraiya smiled in pride as they knew how proud they were of Naruto.

"Ha, wait until you see his other Jutsu that I taught him! Naruto, come here for a second!" Jiraiya exclaimed like a proud father.

"Oh I've seen it alright, he really threw me off with that one." Shizune continued.

Naruto came over and Shizune asked Naruto if he could show us his cool Jutsu again. Naruto groaned and said, "Awhhhhh. I wanted to keep it a surpise for Raiya and Granny though. And besides, it takes a lot of my chakra."

Shizune was confused that Naruto said he wanted it to be a surpise, wondering if they were talking about the same Jutsu. Naruto then said out loud,

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" 10 Narutos appeared in a poof of smoke.

"WHAT THE F-" Tsunade and Jiraiya spat out their tea and blurted out.

Shizune realized they were all talking about different jutsus. "Wait, if this isn't the Justsu that you were talking about, then which one was it Jiraiya-sama?"

Jiraiya sighed, "Naruto, could you show Shizune please?"

Naruto had his clones disappear and then opened up his palm. He then yelled out, "Rasengan!".

Then Shizune spat out her tea, getting surprised by Naruto once again.

"I was waiting to surpise you and granny about the shadow clones. I've been watch you two and only realized when you summoned more than one shadow clone. So I wanted to try it out too!" Naruto explained to Jiraiya.

He then continued to explain that that was how he originally completed the training for the Rasengan as well. Once he learned to to summon multiple shadow clones, he realized he could learn quicker by making all of them practice at the same time. He said it cut his practice shorter and made more time for playing and cooking. They were all shocked that a 5 year old figured this out on his own. Jiraiya remembered that teenage version Naruto learned this, but it wasn't even on his own account. Maybe spending 24 hours with two master ninjas made Naruto smarter and think more critical he thought. Jiraiya finally realized that Naruto was ready.

"Naruto, it's time to start to really train."

A/N: Chapter 3 done!Okay I get it, I know some of you will probably think there's no way Naruto could've learned all this on his own by just watching Jiraiya and Tsunade. But you have to remember that toddlers brains are like sponges, they absorb knowledge very quickly at that age.I personally think it would be possible that Naruto could achieve all these feats at this age, only due to the fact that this Naruto version is a lot smarter. If you compare this Naruto to Canon Naruto, their upbringing will dramaticallyalter their learning ability. When you're always neglected, you won't learn as much as you can because you're focused on trying to not be neglected by an entire village. Whereas this Naruto, he has the encouragement to study and practice without being neglected. Love and care really does make a huge difference in a child's ability to learn.

Let me know what you guys think of this chapter in the comments!
