Naruto and Jiraiya reappeared in a station at the end of Konoha's boundary. There they met with two Anbus and a brigade of Jounins and Chuunins.
"Your identification cards please." They said. Naruto and Jiraiya took out their ID's and gave it to the Anbu. They were utterly surprised especially when they saw Jiraiya's. "You are one of the Legendary Sannins?" they asked in disbelief as they peered to study his face thoroughly. "Hurry up guys. We're on a special mission." Jiraiya told them.
"Mission Sir? Um, do you have the papers to prove that?" one of the Anbu asked. He was wearing a rabbit-like mask. Naruto shoved a folder to him. " We're in a hurry." He told them. "Whoa! Hold your horse boy! Hey! You we're the one we just admitted this morning right?" the Anbu asked.
"Ei, like the boy said, we are in a hurry. So please, do you job now." Jiraiya told them. Naruto took one last deep breath of Konoha's air because beyond this gate, hostility grows. The two Anbus hurriedly processed their papers and logged them in their mission record book. "Ok, off you go." The Anbu said. "Good luck to your mission, soldier." A Jounin told Naruto. They opened the gates and let them pass.
"Ok boy, we're outside Konoha now. We better be careful from now on. We don't know what's lurking beyond the boundary." Jiraiya whispered to him. " I know a shortcut. We can use that to avoid unexpected enemies." Naruto told them. Silence filled the forest. There was a sudden rush of birds in the air.
"We better hurry." Jiraiya told him. He and Naruto started leaping from branch to branch, following a North-West direction.
"Are you sure this is a safe road?" Jiraiya asked him as they swung across the trees. "Tokyo is 147 miles North-West from Konoha. If we maintain this speed, it would take eternity before we could get there. Once we're out of this forest, we'll be very close to Suna so we must get into a disguise." Naruto told him. They stopped for a moment while Naruto sniffed around. " What is it?" Jiraiya asked, imitating his gesture. They paused and leaned closer against the tree trunk. "Someone's coming." Jiraiya told Naruto. The boy grabbed Jiraiya's hand and continued jumping from branch to branch but with thrice the speed this time.
"Naruto! I don't think running away is a good idea." Jiraiya hissed to him. "Shut up. We must get out of this forest as soon as possible." Naruto told him.
They moved with great speed. There was a sudden disturbance within the forest. They kept on moving faster and faster and before they know it, they were out of the forest. When they stepped on land, they felt that they are near the borders of Suna.
"Quick!!!! We need to transform!" Naruto hissed to his former sensei.
With a poof, they vanished into thin air, living two golden eagles taking flight into the broad sky.
"The eagles have some funny way to mate." Kankuro said as he watched the two eagles flew away from their village. He and Temari were walking towards the military headquarters when they spot the eagles (Naruto and Jiraiya in disguise!).
"Funny. I wish Gaara was here. He wanted an eagle ever since he arrived from his mission." Temari said.
The two eagles soared in the vast sky towards North-West from Suna. It took 20 minutes of flight before one of them soared straight down. The later followed until they entered another forest. They swooped down towards a big oak tree, scaring the rest of the mobile members of that small ecosystem. They decided to perch on a large branch of a Sequoia and with a poof, they returned to their original form.
"Wow!!! That was a very refreshing experience!" Jiraiya exclaimed as he stretched his limbs out. "Yeah! It's nice to soar over Japan." Naruto said with a sad smile. "Why a sad smile, Naruto-kun? And where are we, by the way?" Jiraiya asked, giving Naruto a very concerned look and a tap on the shoulders.
"I'm ok, there's nothing to worry about. We're in Ise. From here we take a plane to Tokyo, Japan." Naruto told him. "Um Naruto-kun, fill me in this time." Jiraiya asked him. He doesn't know where the hell they were. Naruto sighed and jumped down the tree and started walking. "Wait up!" Jiraiya called to him. "The ninja countries are all located in Ise, Mei. It's very far from Tokyo if you're thinking of walking so we're taking a plane." Naruto said. "You know what a plane is right?" he turned to Jiraiya. "Ei duh! I've been out of Konoha too and I KNOW what a plane is. It's just that it's too expensive to ride on one those days." Jiraiya scoffed.
"Ah so why are you still asking me where we are?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya stopped. "When I went out of Konoha that time, I ended up in a park. What's its name? Ah! It's the Ise-Shima National Park , just behind the borders of Ame Village." Jiraiya told him. He was walking behind Naruto.
"Ah, but we're still in Ise. Ise-Shima National Park is far from here. We will go to Osaka in order to fly to Tokyo." Naruto told him. They were walking hurriedly, looking for the exit of the forest. "Don't you think people will think we're weird because of our clothes?" Jiraiya suddenly asked Naruto. The boy could not hold off any longer. He let out a hearty laugh.
"Don't worry. Japan is currently in a weird fashion genre. People will hardly notice us." Naruto told him. "It's nice to hear your laugh again, Uzumaki Naruto." Jiraiya said. Naruto paused for a moment. Sadness clouded his eyes again.
"You were so changed when you came back to Konoha. It's as if the Naruto I knew was long gone. Is there something you want to tell me, Naruto?" Jiraiya tapped his shoulders. Naruto felt the concern in his sensei's voice but he did not turn around. The young boy sighed and combed out his messy bangs.
"It's so hard knowing the true reason behind you dark childhood, Jiraiya- sama." Naruto told him. Jiraiya froze. ' So he knows.' He thought. "I mean, why me? Why should I be the one? Why would he place a demon inside me? I know now why people hated me ever since and the reason is I nearly annihilated Konoha." Naruto complained. There is an obvious pain in his voice.
"Naruto-kun..." Jiraiya murmured. He was speechless. He was not prepared for this kind of talk. "Well somehow I thank Yondaime-sama. I would not be this strong if not for Kyubi's power. I'll just try my best to keep him in here, to keep everyone I love safe." Naruto turned around and gave him a sad smile.
"That's right, Naruto-kun. You have to be brave. Yondaime did not intend for the people to hate you. In fact he wanted them to look up to you as a hero, for you are the one who restrains the demon that nearly destroyed Konoha.." Jiraiya told him a smile. "Ok, we better hurry." Naruto said while wiping a solitary tear that escaped his eyes. ' He might have discovered the truth during his mission. Kami-sama! He was bearing this burden for four whole years!' Jiraiya mused.
"Ne, Jiraiya-sensei." Naruto spoke. "Hmm?" Jiraiya murmured. Naruto stopped and turned around to face him. There was sadness in his eyes. "Do you want to know how I knew all about it?" Naruto asked him. His voice was sullen and grave.
"Would it help ease some pain inside you?" Jiraiya asked him. "Hai." Naruto nodded. "Ok, tell me everything...tell me all about it." Jiraiya came to him and placed a comforting arm over his shoulders as he urges him to continue walking.
"I'm worried." Sakura complained while pacing back and forth inside Naruto's apartment. Nobody moved after Naruto and Jiraiya's departure. Hinata was silently reading the instructions on the phone kit with Lee.
"He's changed. Totally." Gai told them. Kakashi opened his eyes and stared at the picture of Naruto with his friends. "He's pretty determined to do this." Iruka said. "He wanted to prove that he's a totally different person now." Sasuke suddenly spoke up. Neji stared at him.
"You're not thinking that he's a show off are you?" he asked the brunette. "No he's definitely not showing off. He's just too caught up with this Madougu thing. That Aira-sama he talks about really got into his nerve, don't you think?" Shikamaru answered his question. Hinata looked up and stared at them.
"Still talking about Naruto-kun, huh?" she asked. Sakura and Inou gave her sad smiles.
"Oh don't worry about me. I'm fine. It's not that hard since he said goodbye and gave me something to be able to keep contact with him." Hinata told them. Everybody stared at her sympathetically, thinking that she's just faking it.
"Do you want to know why Naruto got the mission?" Kakashi suddenly asked. Heads turned towards him. "You're not supposed to tell them, Kakashi. What word in "Military Secrecy" did you not understand?" Gai said in an outrage. "But they're all soldiers now and beside, they will know eventually." Kakashi told him coolly. "Ch! Smart aleck!" Gai muttered.
"Naze, Kakashi-sensei?" Kiba asked.
"Because Naruto is already a Madougu master." Kakashi told them.
"NANI?!"
"Three years ago, I was in a mission to New York. It was my 2nd mission given by Chairman Hetero and it became the turning of my life." Naruto said. "New York? You mean you went to America?" the Sennin asked him. The blonde shinobi nodded. "I became a hunter. My first mission was to become one, because Chairman Hetero does not believe that my ninja skill alone can accomplish the tasks he's going to give me. So I participated in an exam called Hunter Exam. I did well because it was kinda similar to the Chuunin Selection exam. I used all the things I've learned as a ninja. They were only eight who passed the said exam and luckily, I was one of them." Naruto said. "I glad that you've been using your skills well, Naruto-kun." Jiraiya reckoned. Naruto gave him a sad smile.
"But when Chairman Hetero told me that my chakra isn't enough to put up a decent fight with the other hunters, I had no choice but to tap into my other aura channel, the Nen. I'm not going to elaborate on that one because I'm forbidden." Naruto said. "It's ok. But tell me, is it the technique you used earlier on Kakashi and the others?" Jiraiya asked. Naruto nodded. "Nice one." The Sennin murmured. "Ok, continue." He said.
"After I've learned Nen, Chairman Hetero sent me to New York to be a part of the largest auction of the decade as one of the Shishiten. Shishiten or the Lions of Heaven is a group of Nen users hired to work underground for security purposes. You don't have to be a hunter to be a member, you just need to be an exceptional Nen user. There were assassins and martial artists in the group. I was the only Shinobi in there but we don't usually give out information about ourselves." Naruto told him.
"exciting life you got there." Jiraiya told him.
"yeah, especially when the most dangerous and deadly group of bandits called Genei Ryoudan came into the picture. They were really ambitious, you know that? They tried to steal every piece of artifact in the auction and they did pretty well. They were good, very good that almost the whole Mafia was wiped out. I was sent to their hideout to retrieve the artifacts alone because three-quarters of the Shishiten were dead. I was caught and I thought that they're going to kill me." Naruto paused and took a deep breath.
"what happened?" Jiraiya asked, getting more intrigued.
"their leader saw that I have the potential to join the Genei Ryoudan so he wanted me to stay alive. They kept on training me, testing my Nen abilities until such time that I was forced to use Ninjutsu just to keep myself alive. That ignited another spark and the leader wanted me to teach him because he can't copy the technique I used in his Nen book. I refused because I don't want to give out Konoha's secrets. They beat me up and left me in the care of one of their female members, Shizuku. The thing is, she uses HER body to heal the sick, unlike Machi who uses Nen threads to sew wounds." Naruto said.
Jiraiya stared at him and noticed that he was a little flushed. "you mean you're not a virgin anymore?!" the Sennin asked in disbelief. Naruto was blushing furiously that time.
"anyway, when she was "healing" me, I was drawn into an oblivion and I saw it." Naruto told him, changing the subject a bit.
"what IT?" Jiraiya asked again.
"I saw Kyuubi. He was talking to me, told me the truth about who I really am. I made a pact with him that I could use his powers all I want, as long as I allow him to get out of my body once a while." Naruto told him.
"NANI?! You let Kyuubi out?!" Jiraiya roared. ' baka kitsune! How could he?'
"if you're thinking that I put all Yondaime's sacrifice into waste just for power then you're wrong! I let him out but not in his demon form. in that same oblivion I saw Yondaime, giving me instructions on how to shrink Kyuubi using three different sealing technique!" Naruto snapped at him. ' stupid Sennin!'
"you mean you saw Yondaime?" Jiraiya asked, looking at him oddly. "now you think I'm crazy?" Naruto shot back.
Jiraiya sighed. ' it's damn hard to believe his story but I need to reach out to him. I HAVE to believe.' Jiraiya mused. "ok, it's hard to believe but I'm seeing light in this." He told the blonde shinobi. He cannot lose Naruto's trust now.
The boy was breathing heavily right now. "so you mean you sealed Kyuubi inside a baby fox's body?" Jiraiya guessed. Naruto smiled. "see? Now you're getting the picture." He told the Sennin.
"so how did you escape from the Genei Ryoudan?" Jiraiya asked him.
"Kyuubi opened a portal which sucked me inside and it transported me back to Japan in Shirakami Mountain range. It was near-death since the rest of the Genei Ryoudan tried to pull me back, violently." Naruto told him.
"what did Chairman Hetero say about this?" Jiraiya asked.
"when he found out that none of the artifacts were saved, he just smiled me and told me that what I've learned from the mission is more important than any treasure." Naruto told him. they stopped for a while when they heard car engines. "we're near the highway." Naruto told him with a smile.
' I think you're real mission was to discover who you really are, Uzumaki Naruto. I'm kinda thankful that Chairman Hetero realized this before us that you are starting to grow up.' Jiraiya thought as he stared at Naruto's back. His long blonde hair shimmered under the sun as they stepped out of the forest.
"I'm glad we're here." Jiraiya said.
"a Madougu expert?!" the young Chuunins exclaimed.
"impossible!" Kiba, Shino and Shikamaru cried. "unbelievable." Neji murmured. "Sugoi!" Lee cheered. "wow!" Sakura and Inou murmured. "amazing!" Hinata said. Sasuke and Iruka were merely stunned.
"how did you know?" Sakura asked. They all stared at the two Jounins. Gai sighed. "remember when he said that he learned all about the Hokage tribe from a lady named Aira-sama?" Gai asked them.
"yes Gai-sensei! He also told us that this Aira-sama owns the Fujin." Lee told him. "so?" Shikamaru prompted. "he told us that he and Aira-san met in battle. This Aira-sama he's talking about trained him for a long time." Kakashi said. "trained him for what?" Kiba asked. "she trained him to become the successor of Fujin." Gai said.
"NANI?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" they cried.
' Sugoi!!!' Hinata cheered silently.
