Hey guys, sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but I have lots of work. Well, I hope you like the next chapter of PoF.

' Dammit Brat! Where the hell are you?' Jaraiya thought. He had been looking everywhere for his student, but hadn't found him. He checked the hotsprings, Ichiraku, the academy, the hotsprings, and his apartment. He was about to check the hotsprings again, when the Third came to him.

" Jaraiya, what have I told you about peeping?" he asked, frustrated. Jaraiya just smirked and said, " Don't get caught, and to take you with me sensei, why?" that earned him a good smack behind his head.

" No baka, I said every time you get caught, don't let them report it to me! Today I got nearly thirty reports from the bathe houses about a pervert." Jaraiya just smiled and said.

" Well, I wouldn't get caught if you would lend me your crystal ball, sensei." that just earned him another smack to the head. Jaraiya was going to retaliate, when Naruto opened his door.

" Eh? Ero-sennin, Geezer? What are you to doing here? Naruto asked confused. The Third then spoke to the boy.

" Naruto, you have an A-class mission with Jaraiya, your mission is to find the next Hokage, do you accept?" Naruto nodded and began to pack. When he was done, he then turned to Jaraiya and asked, " Ne, Ero-sennin, can you give me like thirty minutes? I need to talk to someone." the man nodded and Naruto took his stuff and ran towards Tenten's house. It took him about five minutes to get there, and when he got there, he was hardly winded. When he got there, he quickly knocked on the door and was greeted by Buki. The young girl was a little suprised that he was breathing a little hard but guessed he ran here.

" Naruto-neesan! Why are you here?" she asked, Naruto just said, " I need to talk to Ten-chan, buki-chan. It's important." the girl nodded and called for her sister. When Naruto saw the girl he loved, he quickly went to her.

" Naruto-kun, whats wrong?" Tenten asked after he stopped kissing her. He looked at her with a sad smile and said,

" I'm going on a mission, Ten-chan, and I don't know when I'll be back." Tenten frowned.

" Do you know what your mission is?" she asked, concerned for her boyfriend's safety. Naruto replied, " I'm going on an A-class mission."

Tenten then yelled at him, suprised and scared at the thought of losing him.

" A-class! What the hell do you mean, A-class? Are you crazy! If you go, you might not come back. I just got my feelings right, and now I might lose you?" she started crying on his shoulder. She started to hug the boy tighter, thinking that if she let go of him, he might disappear.

" Ten-chan, don't worry, I'm way to strong to die, and my sensei's strong to. I'll be back, tronger than ever." Naruto said, smiling at her, tyring to get her to stop crying. Tenten laughed to, until they heard a voice behind them say, " Don't worry, he's to stubborn to die." they turned and saw Jaraiya, standing there with his note book out, writhing something down.

"Naruto, c'mon. We need to leave. You said thirty minutes, its been an hour." he stated and looked up, feeling a growing killer intent, aim at him, and Naruto's giant sword, one inch from where all males feel pain.

" Jaraiya-sensei, if I find out that Ten-chan was one of the insperations you had for your book." he then disappeared and reappeared, with the note book in his left hand, while his sword was even closer to Jaraiya's pride.

" I'll make sure, you never, EVER, enjoy peeping again." he said in a low growl, as he used his chakra to burn the note book. Jaraiya visibly gulped, the only time the Naruto called him Jaraiya-sensei, was when he was really pissed.

After Naruto was satisfied, he went back to Tenten and said, " I'll be back, so don't worry. I have something to come back to." he kissed her and said, " I love you Tenten." and then left. After destroying another of Jaraiya's note books.

One Week Later

It had been a hard week for Naruto, three days ago he faced two missing nins, one looking like an older Sasuke, the other having blue-ish skin. The blue one had a large sword on his back, wrapped in bandages. What was confusing, was that after five minutes of talking, Sasuke shows up and tries to ram his Chidori into his brother, which Naruto found to be named Itachi. But the Chidori was stopped when Itachi grabbed Sasuke's arm and broke it. He then knocked Sasuke out with his Sharingan, Naruto decided it was time to help his teamate. After Sasuke was knocked out, Itachi told his partner, Kisame, that they were to leave. As they left, Jaraiya came. Naruto was about to yell at the Sannin, but was stopped when Gai kicked the white haired pervert. After Gai appologized, he took Sasuke and left. Jaraiya started to teach Naruto a new jutsu; the Rasengan.

In Konoha

Tenten, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata were all sitting in a cafe, doing what all teenage girls do, talk about guys. But right now, Tenten was getting angry, angry at Sakura and Ino. Why is she angry? The two girls had the nerve to make fun of her Naruto-kun, right in front of her. When Ino said the she would feel sorry for any girl that Naruto went out with, she had had enough.

" That's enough!" Tenten yelled out suddenly, jumping out of her chair.

" What's up with you, Tenten?" Sakura asked. Tenten just glared at the pink haired girl.

" You don't have any right to insult Naruto-kun. Especially when he isn't here!" she screamed. It was at that moment, that a blonde kunochi came into the cafe and waved to them.

" Hey guys, what's up?" Temari asked, as she grabbed a seat next to Hinata. Ino just waved at her and said,

" Nothing, we were just talking, until Tenten started to yell for some reason." the brunette growled and said " you don't know how strong Naruto-kun is. For all I care, just stick with fighting for your precious Sasuke, he will never be as strong as my Naruto-kun. And I don't even need to worry about losing him to another girl, because he already told me before he left. He said that he. Loved. Me."

Almost all of the girls were shocked at this. Temari then smiled and put her hand on Tenten's shoulder and said, " I'm glad that Naruto has someone that can care for him, he's been alone for a longer time than my brother had."

Tenten smiled back at her before Sakura said something.

" I don't know what you are talking about Tenten, so Naruto can summon, big deal. Sasuke-kun witnessed his family's massacre. Naruto has been alone for most of his life, but his parents probably abandoned him when they knew what he was going to be in the future, a dead last." Ino and Sakura started to laugh at that, Tenten looked like she was about to cry.

' He was alone for most of his life, oh Naruto-kun, why didn't you tell me?' she thought. She turned to Temari and was shocked at what she saw. On Temari's face, was a look of pure anger towards the to girls. She said in a low growl, her voice dripping with venom.

" How dare you insult your comrade? Do you know what that boy has done for me and my family? He helped Gaara with his darkness, stopped him from becoming a killing machine, all for the sake of others. He saved a whole academy class from death during the invasion, and how do you repay him? By insulting him, Kami forbid what would happen if Gaara heard you say that about him." Tenten thought it was time for her to step in.

" He also saved me from death, you have no right to insult him!" Temari and Tenten then left the cafe, leaving two suprised Ino and Sakura, a sad Hinata, and a cafe full of confused customers.
