Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Naruto.
A/N: This is the second chapter to Intertwined Destiny's. Sorry this chapter took so long to post school started so I was a little busy. In the previous chapter Naruto had just left on his way to the Hokage Tower to meet up with the Gondaime, Tsunade.
-----Hokage Tower-----
The sun is lowly setting in the horizon and the sky in colored in multiple shades of orange and yellow. The last rays of sunlight peek through the window of Gondaime's office basking the room in a lazy orange light. Out of the shadows of the room a white haired Sannin steps up to address his old teammate.
"Yo! Tsunade how's the Hokage life treating you? Says the Perverted Hermit his focus of attention is clearly not on Tsunade's face.
Noticing that Jiraiya's attention is focused mainly on her bust Tsunade quickly decides to re-teach her old teammate a lesson he as clearly forgotten.
"Jiraiya..." Her face turns red as veins start popping up on her forehead "How many times did I tell you to stop being such a pervert!" and with that Tsunade uses her monstrous strength to punch the Perverted Hermit right through the wall.
Right after Jiraiya is punched through the wall, courtesy of the Hokage, A Jounin with fluffy grey hair, a mask that covers most of his face and a headband slanted over his left eye climbs through the newly made hole. Noticing the bloody heap on the floor known as Jiraiya the Special Jounin known as Copy-Nin Kakashi decides to put away his favorite book, whose author is coincidently unconscious on the floor, to avoid the same fate as Jiraiya.
Cringing his visible eye in what seemed a smile he waves his right hand to address the Hokage. "Hokage-sama you called for me?"
"Yes I did…. Wait why didn't you enter from the door?"
The Copy-Nin shrugs "The hole was closer….."
Tsunade sweat drops.
"Anyway, Tsunade-sama you called me to attend an urgent meeting right?"
Anger once again shows on Tsunade's face as she starts screaming "That was an hour ago Kakashi! Have you ever been on time in your life!"
"Yes I have Hokage-sama; I was first in line to get tickets to the upcoming movie of "Come Come Paradise". I had to wait one week on line but it was worth it for this ticket." Kakashi flashes a gold colored ticket with Come Come Paradise" written on it. "Coincidently that is also the reason I was late…."
"Is that so Kakashi?" Suddenly the ticket bursts into flames from the impact of Tsunade's death glare "Consider that your punishment for being late"
The life suddenly goes out of the Copy-Nin's eyes as he stares at what left of his hard earned ticket "One week of fighting for first place in line wasted" he mumbles as he faints.
-----Five Minutes Later-----
After Jiraiya finally recovered from his head injury and a traumatized Kakashi was healed with a free VIP pass from Jiraiya, the two Sannin and Jounin start on their delayed meeting.
"Ahem we can finally get on to what I called you to for. Jiraiya how is Naruto's training so far?"
"Well even though he might not act like it most of the time Naruto has grown. His chakra control has improved greatly and he has mastered a lot of jutsu's from the various countries we visited. His Taijutsu is now more advanced and he knows a couple of Genjutsu techniques."
Kakashi smiles at the news of his old student's improvement "Well it seems Naruto has definitely improved he is probably mid-Chuunin level by now."
"Yes and I've been thinking that I should promote Naruto and Sakura to chunnin since they are definitely above genin level."
"I don't think you should." Replied Jiraiya "I think they would both like to take the Chunnin Exam as a FULL team."
With the mention of Team Seven all thoughts went to the "Last" Uchiha and the mood of the room suddenly became more serious.
Tsunade addresses the Frog Hermit "Jiraiya do you have any information on Akatsuki or Orochimaru?
Jiraiya suddenly takes out a scroll out of his vest. "Akatsuki members have been more active now that the 3 years are coming to a close. Last I heard two members of the Akatsuki were headed to the Hidden Village of Sand, their objective is probably to get information on Gaara of the Sand."
Jiraiya then takes out a bigger scroll which has several maps of the Ninja Nations. He indicates to a certain part of the map which shows the Hidden Village of Sound.
"A month before we arrived in Konoha, Naruto and I scouted for information in the Sound Country. One night after Naruto had fallen asleep in the hotel we were staying I headed out to visit an old acquaintance of mine."
A look of recognition finally came over Tsunade's face. "You went to see the Old Seer didn't you?"
"Old Seer? Who is this Old Seer? Asked Kakashi clearly puzzled.
"The Old Seer Chorobi-san is a wide renowned seer known for her powers to look into the future. Unfortunately use of her power comes with a hefty price." Sighed Jiraiya.
"She made you pay off your debts didn't she?" asked Tsunade a grin on her face.
"Yes….with interest at that"
"How much did you owe her?" asked Kakashi
"Let's just say my bank account dropped a couple of digits after I paid everything off…"
Kakashi and Tsunade sweat dropped.
"Well anyway Chorobi-san said that Orochimaru and his followers were currently hiding in an area south of Tea Country (A/N: I'm pretty sure that Tea Country was only mentioned in the anime but I could be wrong.) called the Hydra Marshes. (A/N: Give me a break I wrote this at 1 in the morning it's not that creative but live with it.)
A look of shock appears in Tsunade's face. "The Hydra Marshes….that is a highly toxic swamp that is supposed to hide creatures that are very poisonous. The marshes themselves give off toxins that would kill any human that tried to get through it."
"Yes I found that out the hard way" replied Jiraiya.
Kakashi and Tsunade deadpanned.
"And he call's himself a Legendary Sannin….." Muttered Kakashi.
"Before I was totally knocked out I managed to get a sample of the toxin and get out of there." The Frog Hermit takes out a vial with purplish green liquid inside it. "I was hoping you would be able to make some kind of antidote from this."
Tsunade nods "Okay I'll see what I can do but for now don't mention any of this to any of the genin.
Both of them males in the room nod in agreement.
-----With Naruto-----
Naruto was currently in the halls of the Hokage Tower. He had arrived only a few moments ago and was now headed off to the Hokage's office. At the desk in front of the office Naruto sees a familiar face.
"Shizune-nee-chan!" the raven haired Hokage's assistant looked up to see a face she had not seen in two years.
"Naruto-kun! Your back!" Shizune embraces Naruto in a small hug. "When did you get back?"
Naruto scratches the back of his head and smiles. "We came back this morning and then I had ramen with Iruka-sensei and Sakura-chan."
Shizune smiles "You came to see Tsunade-sama didn't you?"
"Yeah Obaa-chan wanted me to visit when I had the time."
"Well then you may enter Tsunade is waiting for you."
Naruto walks toward the door and notices a hole in the wall that looks a lot like his teacher.
"What did Ero-sennin do this time?"
Opening the door Naruto walks into the familiar office of the Hokage's. Inside he sees Kakashi, Jiraiya and Tsunade.
"Hello Tsunade-baa-chan! Did you miss me?
Tsunade smiles pretending to be ticked off by the nickname and embraces Naruto in a motherly hug, which means Naruto's face is buried in her huge breasts causing him to go red.
This of course causes Jiraiya to start drooling indicating that he would do anything to be in his apprentice's place.
"Say Tsunade how come I didn't get a welcome back hug?" asks a still drooling Jiraiya.
"Well because I have something even more special in store for you." replies Tsunade in a sickeningly sweet voice.
At the thought of what Tsunade's surprise might be Jiraiya gets a dreamy look in his face and a little blood trickles down his nose. "Well Tsunade why don't you show me this surprise of yours."
"As you wish." Suddenly Tsunade releases a great amount of killer intent and kicks Jiraiya where "the sun doesn't shine". (A/N: I don't know why I used this saying it just fit P)
The tremendous force behind the Hokage's kick sends the Perverted Hermit flying leaving a decent sized hole in the ceiling and flying all the way into Konoha's trap area. (A/N: The area where the big dog dragged Naruto in the early episodes)
The two other males in the room tremble in fright covering their crotch.
Suddenly Tsunade turns back to Naruto an eerie smile on her face. "I really hope that having such perverted teachers didn't leave a bad influence on you Naruto-kun."
"A-ah of course n-n-not T-Tsunade-baa-chan" replies a trembling Naruto.
"Why does everyone ask me that……"
"Good, anyway Naruto it's good to finally see you after two years. Now that your back I'm reinstating you back into Kakashi's team if that's fine with you."
"Hai baa-chan"
Kakashi not wanting to be the target of Tsunade's next assault quickly tells Naruto a message before leaving "Ok Naruto I'll see you and Sakura two days from now in the old training field."
With that said the Silver haired Jounin disappears in a swirl of leaves leaving Naruto and Tsunade alone.
"Okay Tsunade-baa-chan I'm going to go home now." says Naruto before jumping out of the window.
-----On the streets of Konoha-----
As Naruto was walking to his apartment he sees two familiar faces. One was Nara Shikamaru the famous lazy genius of Konoha. Appearance wise Shikamaru did not change much but he has gotten taller and has more muscle due to his missions as a chunnin.
With him is his best friend Akimichi Choji. Choji on the other hand has had some noticeable changes. Although he is still large most of his previous fat is now muscle proof of his new goal to get stronger to protect his friends. Even with this change Choji is still the kind and lovable ninja he always was.
Wanting to get his friends attention Naruto calls out their name while running. Unfortunately being the clumsy idiot he is the blond Genin does not notice the rock on the ground and trips on it.
The last thing Shikamaru says before being tackled by Naruto is "Too troublesome."
A/N: Okay I think poor Jiraiya was abused enough in this chapter. In the next chapter some of the former Rookie Nine and Gai's team will be introduced. Also I will be starting the plans for the other pairings so review with what pairing you want. I will not be doing yaoi, I have nothing against it I just don't want to write it. One last thing pairings with Naruto, Sakura, or Sasuke will not be accepted because this poll is only for other character pairings. Thank you for reading and please review.
