Chapter 2- Where's Iruka?

(A/N Thanks to all that reviewed.)

Naruto and Jiraiya continued for the Hokage towers and were almost there when yet another voice stopped them. "Naruto. Is that you man?" said a deep voice. Naruto was now getting frustrated with all these distractions. 'Oh come on! Were almost there and who is this anyway? I'm so gonna kick h...' but Naruto's thoughts were interrupted when he turned around and saw a big belly at his head height. Naruto nervously continued to look up a long way till he finally saw the head of Choji. 'HOLY! Choji's HUGE.' Thought Naruto. And it was true. Choji had grown to be over 7 feet tall and must have weighed in around 400 pounds. Also his hair was very short and he wore a black suit much like Shikamaru's.

"Hi Choji." said a nervous Naruto. 'I hope he doesn't fall on me. And what's with the suits today. First Shikamaru and now Choji. I can't believe he could fit into anything.' thought Naruto.

Choji then but on a big smile and picked up Naruto and gave him a big hug. "Good to see you healthy." said Choji as he squeeze harder.

"Good...to...see...you too." said Naruto who was now turning blue from the lack of oxygen. "Choji...your...crushing me." said Naruto. Choji then let go and watched as Naruto fell to the ground.

"I...Can't..fell...my legs." said Naruto.

"Sorry. I guess I don't know my own strength." said Choji as he began to rub the back of his head.

"Right. That's ok." said Naruto as he slowly got back on his feet.

"Where have you been? And what's with the wagon?" asked Choji. Then he looked over Jiraiya and notice who was in the cage. He then put a smile on and was about to hug Naruto again.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" shouted Naruto just in time to stop Choji.

"Oh yeah right." said Choji as he extended his hand. Naruto looked at it and shook it but soon regretted it. Now Naruto was hopping up and down from Choji's iron grip. But Choji didn't notice and continued. "Well congradulations Naruto. This is the biggest mission success since when the 4th defeated the nine tailed fox."

"Thanks Choji. Um do you think you could let go?" replied Naruto. Choji then looked down and noticed Naruto dancing from pain.

"Oh. My bad." said Choji as he let go of Naruto. Naruto then looked at his hand to see it was cherry red and could actually see it throb. Then another voice called out to not Naruto, but Choji.

"Choji sweety." said one of the prettiest girls Naruto has ever seen. She wore a black dress and high heels. She also had long black hair and green eye's. Choji turned around to face her and said "I'll be right there butter cup."

"Well hurry up. You promised." said the girl as she held her pinky up indicating a pinky swear. Naruto then watched as she walked away and then put on a grin.

"Choji you dog." said Naruto as he nudged Choji in the arm. " How in the world did you get something like that?" asked Naruto. Choji then began to blush and began to tell the story.

"Well it was about 5 months ago. I was in the food court as usual for my lunch. Then this girl bumped into me and spilt her food on the ground. So I helped her pick it, but when I looked up to see her face I swear...It was love." Naruto only gave him a confused look.

"Ok...then what?" asked Naruto.

"Well I asked her to eat lunch with me and she said yes. Then we got to talking and then I just asked her out and its been that way ever since." replied Choji.

Naruto merely grinned and said "Man your lucky. To have a girl that hot and that other guys would kill for."

Choji rubbed the back of his head and said "Yes I am very fortunate. Well I must leave. Can't keep her waiting." And with that Choji left.

"Go get her tiger!" called out Naruto after Choji.

"Naruto if you are quite finished, could we please finish this before they wake up?" asked Jiraiya.

Naruto turned around and said "Alright." Then Naruto and Jiraiya continued to pull the wagon to the tower.

When they finally reached the tower 2 masked jounin jump in front of them and asked "Who are you? And what is your business here?"

Jiraiya stepped forward and said "I am Jiraiya and this is Naruto. We have come here to report that our mission was a success. Also we have 2 prisoners with us." Jiraiya pointed to the wagon behind him.

One of the jounin looked in the wagon and said "We'll take the prisoners. You go report to the Hokage."

Jiraiya nodded and walked with Naruto into the tower while the 2 jounin took the wagon and vanished. They continued up a set of stairs until they reached the top and were standing in front of a door. Jiraiya knocked on the door and waited. Within a few seconds the door swung open and there stood Tsunade. "Naruto! Jiraiya! Your back!" shouted Tsunade as she jumped out and hugged Naruto and Jiraiya. Naruto only groaned and Jiraiya gave an evil grin for he was think something perverted. "Come in come in." said Tsunade or rather she ordered them to. Then they all walked into her office and sat down in chairs in front of her desk. "My my Naruto how you've grown." said Tsunade.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head and sid "Yeah well some people have grown more then me. Like Shoji." Narrator then looked at his hand again to see it was still really red.

Sundae giggled and said "Indeed. Was your mission a success?" asked Tsunade.

Jiraiya grinned and said "Yes. It all went as planned and then some."

Tsunade gave Jiraiya a confused look and asked "Oh. And hows that."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto and asked "Would you like to tell her Naruto?"

Naruto began to laugh and said "You bet!"

Tsunade gave another confussed look and asked "Tell me what?"

Naruto was about to tell her when one of the Jounin from before appeared right in front of Naruto and said "Lord Hokage. Both prisoners Sasuke and Orochimaru have been put in max security cells. Orochimaru is ready for execution on your order."

Naruto was dumbstruck when this guy took away the glory of telling the Hokage that he had captured the infamous Orochimaru. Naruto was about to slit this guys throat when Tsunade asked "Orochimaru? He's been captured? But how?"

Naruto was about to answer that when the jounin interrupted him once more and said "Master Jiraiya and Naruto returned with both captured and ready to be taken in."

Tsunade then looked arounded the jounin and asked "Naruto? Is this true?" The jounin then turned around to see a furious Naruto.

"Your a real asshole!" said Naruto to the jounin.

"What? What I do?" asked a confussed jounin. Before Naruto could kill the confussed jounin, she dismissed the jounin and requested that Orochimaru to be executed immediatly.

With that the jounin left. Tsunade then returned her attention back to Naruto and asked again "Was what that man said true Naruto?" Naruto's grin returned and he said "Yep sure is."

"How did you do it?" asked Tsunade.

Naruto then frowned and said "Well...you see...I don't remember." All I remember is waking up next to Jiraiya sensei and there was Sasuke and Orochimaru in a cage."

Tsunade then looked at Jiraiya and Jiraiya only nodded slowly indicating they needed to discuss this in private.

"Well any way. I was wondering if you knew where Iruka sensei was." asked Naruto.

Tsunade looked at him and asked "Iruka? Why do you want to see Iruka?"

Naruto rubbed his head and said "I just need to talk to him. Do you know where he is?"

Tsunade only frowned and said "Yes. Hes on gaurd duty at the west gate. He should be..." but was interupted by Naruto jumping out of his chair and heading for the door.

"Thanks bye!" and with that Naruto was out the door and heading for the west gate.

Tsunade then looked at Jiraiya and said "I'm guessing we need to talk." Jiraiya nodded and began to tell the story.
