Rurouni Shinobi
================================================================ ====================
Disclaimer: The Pheox clan does not own Naruto.
Summary: What if Naruto wasn't from the Leaf? What if he was from the Cloud? What if Kyuubi attacked the Cloud instead of the Leaf but STILL got stuck inside Naruto? At the age of 12 Naruto is forced to leave the Hidden Cloud village, and he brings someone with him. 5 years later at the age of 17, and living a life as a rurouni he finds himself in the middle of a war between the Leaf and the Sound.

Sorry for not updating sooner! With graduation, and the end of school coming up, sigh. I have been...busy. And also...I have got a MAJOR writer's block. But with summer break just around the corner, I'll be able to update more quickly. SOOOO...On with the story.

Chapter 5: A Fox, A Phoenix, and A Pervert

Itai- ouch

"(...)" Another language (will be explained later, along with everything else)
================================================================ ====================
"ERO-SENIN!" They cried out simultaneously in shock.
"Hey brats!" Jiraiya, the white-haired senin said.
"You know each other!" Tsunade cried out unbelievingly.
"That PERVERT!" Sierra said pointing to the senin. "Followed us for a while."
"Itai!" Jiraiya cried accusingly. "That hurt."
"After what YOU pulled." Naruto crossed his arms over his chest. "Be happy that that's all she does to you."
Jiraiya laughed nervously.
Tsunade sighed. "I don't want to know."
The silver-haired ANBU stepped forward. "Now I think I understand."
"Understand what Kakashi-sensei?" the black-haired Sharingan user asked.
"Well Sasuke," Kakashi began. "It's quite simple. If I'm not mistaken, this girl here is what inspired Jiraiya-sama for the new hot-headed, stubborn, yet kind Haruka in Come, Come Paradise [1]."
"Yes." Jiraiya grinned. "Sierra is what inspired me for Haruka. Or if you'd like, she's the exact replica of Haruka, right down to her..." The senin never got to finish as he was sent flying into various trees. Courtesy of Naruto Airline [2].
"YOU PUT HER IN YOU BOOK!!!!" Naruto screamed out in rage, hand hovering over Roka [3]. If looks could kill, them Jiraiya would be suffering an eternity of deaths.
Jiraiya got up slowly and painfully. He laughed nervously. "Naruto, it's not what you think." Jiraiya tried to explain.
"Oh?" Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Explain. What is it?"
Jiraiya sighed in defeat. As Naruto stepped closer to him.
"Come on Naruto." Sierra called. "You can kill him later. AFTER we get some things sorted out."
Naruto anger vanished in a instant and was replaced by a cheeky fox-grin.
Jiraiya was grateful of his narrow escape.
"Jiraiya," Tsunade called. "Can I talk to you for a few minutes."
'Uh-oh' Jiraiya thought as he followed the Godaime behind some trees.
"Well," The brunette ANBU said, silently watching the exchange between the teens and the senin. "That was interesting."
"Yes, it was Sano." Kakashi agreed.

Meanwhile Tsunade and Jiraiya were talking about Naruto and Sierra.
"How did you meet them?" Tsunade asked her life-long friend.
"Well," Jiraiya scratched hid head. "When I was in the Hidden Waterfall, I decided to research for my books..."
"You mean peek into women's bath houses." Tsunade interrupted. "Yes, please continue."
"Well at the time, the bath house was empty except for this beautiful young girl," Jiraiya continued. "And let me tell you she had a nice..."
"Just get to the point." Tsunade said irritated.
"FINE!" Jiraiya grumbled. "Well She was a great inspiration with all of her features, so I continued to watch her...
=FLASHBACK=
A shadow of a boy appeared behind the frog hermit. Jiraiya looked up to notice a blonde man glaring at him.
"What are you doing?" The man asked.
"Uh...Nothing?" Jiraiya laughed nervously.
"Nothing huh?" The man then raised his voice. "You call peeking into a women's bath house nothing?"
"Well uh..."
Just then the women walked over, a towel wrapped around her body. "Anything wrong Naruto?" She asked.
"Nothing Sierra," The man, named Naruto said. "I just found a pervert."
Sierra then glared at the senin. "Pervert huh?"
45 minutes, and a completely beaten senin later Sierra walked out of the bathhouse fully dressed in black, skin-tight pants, and a red t-shirt, with a blue over coat.
"Leave the pervert, and let's go." Sierra said angrily to Naruto.
=FLASHBACK END=
"They left, I followed." Jiraiya continued retelling his story to the Godaime. "I got to know them better, and eventually teaching them a couple of jutsus.
"They're good kids, with a tragic past. The only problem is that they've both been severely betrayed." Jiraiya smiled sadly to Tsunade. "They don't trust anyone. And they've been alone, except for each other as company." Jiraiya laughed softly.
"They aren't, really." Jiraiya looked toward the direction the teens were "But they are powerful. They just don't like to kill unless necessary. Preferring to humiliate their opponent, as you seen with Orochimaru."
"So I was right." Tsunade muttered.
"Right about what?" Jiraiya questioned.
"That they hide their strength behind their childish antics." Tsunade told Jiraiya. "But what I want to know is are they missing-nins? They are definitely shinobi, but where did they get their training?"
"I asked them the same question, and they said that the ANBU and Hunter-nins just quit coming, so they just wandered. Never staying in one place too long." Jiraiya answered. "They never told me where their from. Every time I asked they'd get this distant, sad look; or change the subject. Soon, I just stopped asking.
"With our forces down, Konoha could use them." Jiraiya said being serious once again.
Tsunade sighed "I'll see if I have any spare apartments. We need to get Sierra's ankle treated, anyways." Tsunade walked back to where she left the teens.

When Tsunade got back, she noticed Naruto and Sasuke glaring at each other, while Sierra, Sano, and Kakashi, watched in amusement.
Tsunade cleared her voice loudly, which got the attention of everyone, except for the two glaring teens.
"Naruto." Sierra growled.
Naruto suddenly grinned while Sierra sighed.
They turned their attention back towards the Hokage.
"Well," Tsunade said turning her attention towards Sierra and Naruto. "If you'd like, I can get you an apartment to stay in and I can treat you ankle."
"Really?" Naruto jumped around happily. Sierra just watched her child-hood friend sleepily.
Everyone laughed at his childish behaviour.
"You done?" Sierra asked when Naruto finished jumping around.
"Yep!" Naruto grinned as he knelt down in front of Sierra.
Sierra understanding what her friend was trying to tell her, she took off her weights and climbed onto his back. Naruto then picked up their backpacks and stood up.
"(Rest.)" Naruto ordered his friend, talking in Sierra's family language. "(You didn't sleep last night, and your tired. I'll wake you when we get to wherever we're going.)"
Sierra took Naruto's advice and was soon asleep on his back.
"Is she okay?" Tsunade asked worriedly.
"She didn't get much sleep last night." Naruto explained. "And she used up most of her strength getting her. She just needs some rest."
Tsunade just nodded her head and walked towards Konoha.
"What was that language that you used?" Sano asked the blonde.
"You don't know," Naruto replied stubbornly. "I'm not translating." He then followed the Hokage into Konoha, wondering what the future holds.
TBC?
================================================================ ====================
Should I continue. I'm kinda brain dead, and I don't know what should happen next. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
READ AND REVIEW!!
================================================================ ====================
[1] Don't know what this is? It's the dirty books that Kakashi reads, and Jiraiya writes.
[2] Confused? Naruto punched him.
[3] If you don't remember, it's Naruto's katana. (See Chapter 2)
================================================================ ====================
KIT09KYU- Thank-you, I will definitely use them in the future.
DWAJE-There is a reason why they're not missing-nins, I explained a tiny bit in the story. But the rest will be explained later. CLUE: It has something to do with the Raikage.
ROBOT-Thank-you for your opinion.
ME-I'm sorry for taking so long, but I have been really busy with school, soccer etc.
TO ALL REVIEWERS, I THANK-YOU.
KEEP REVIEWING, I LOVE HEARING YOU COMMENTS AND I WOULD LOVE ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU MAY HAVE
