Chapter 10: Admit it!
The next day, Naruto suddenly rose from his bed and jumped out. He looked at the other bed and it was in order. Ever since Jiraiya live with him, he had never fixed his bed before leaving. It meant that Jiraiya haven't went home since last night. He looked at the study table and his things were not there. He opened the cabinet and he didn't find his clothes there. Then Naruto changed into his orange clothes quickly. He went to the hot spring bath and he was not there. He went to the river, to the mountain, to the Hokage office, and found no Jiraiya there. He even called his summon Gamabunta to ask if he knew something about Jiraiya's disappearance, but he was also clueless. He was worrying that ero-sennin left because of what he told him in the hot spring bath. He really didn't mean all that stuff. He decided to go back home, and while walking, he saw a group of children making paper boats. He thought of the pier, maybe Jiraiya was there so he rushed there. He searched among the crowd and finally saw him. But he was with someone familiar, it was Sasuke! He saw Sasuke handed him money as he gave a copy of Come, Come Paradise. "Ero-sennin!!!" Naruto shouted and ran towards their direction. Sasuke knew that he saw them and blushed in embarrassment. Naruto threw his arms around the old man and hugged him tightly. "Ero-sennin, why would you leave? I didn't meant what I've said." Naruto explained. "I have no role in your life anymore. I don't want you to be like me. I'll live my life alone again like I used to. Konoha is in order now, and I expect you to protect it." Jiraiya talked seriously. "It's not true that you have no role in my life anymore. You also acknowledged me like Iruka-sensei. You were like a father to me. Please don't leave...ero-sennin." "I changed my mind. I'll stay here." Sasuke turned his back and planned to leave but Naruto noticed him. "Hey, Sasuke-kun! I saw you purchased the pocketbook." Naruto spoke teasingly. "It's none of your business, jackass!" He sneered. "Does Sakura knows about that?" "Shut up! Don't you ever mention it to Sakura or else I'll peel you alive!"
