Hey guys here is the next episode of this story. Now I truly don't have too much to say anymore in these seeing as I just don't feel the need to do so. And as of right now I have no true idea of how to add in another person or two into the harem except for Hanabi who I have to add seeing as I did put up a poll and you guys wanted her. So, besides her I will wait and see if I can put in a good chance of adding yet another girl. But for now it is Hinata X Ino X Haku X Ayame X Hanabi (eventually anyways).

Don't own Naruto in any way, shape, or form

Chapter 16

Early the next morning both Haku and Naruto were awake and preparing to eat breakfast when they felt a presence near the kitchen. So, they both got off their chairs and reached for their weapons as the person came closer to them.

"Yo, gaki how are you doing?" Jiraiya asks happily ignoring their weapons and sat down in a spare chair. "Looks good." He adds looking at the food then began to eat the food on Naruto's plate. Course this annoyed Haku seeing as he was stealing from her master. So, she was about throw her needles anyways until Naruto told her not to as he rolled his eyes and walked to get another plate of food seeing as Haku always made enough for at least seconds just in case Naruto every got more hungry. So, instead of attacking she just settled on glaring at the old man while they all ate.

"So, Ero-sennin besides mooching is there a reason you came?" Naruto asks his teacher after they were basically done eating.

"Yea gaki pack your bags. You are coming with me to find an old friend of mine that has to come back to help the village." Jiraiya ordered him.

"Okay when do we leave?" Naruto asks not bothering to argue seeing as finding this person had to be important to help the village he loves.

"This afternoon right after lunch. So, you have the time to say good-bye to your girls, and to maybe get some quick good luck presents." Jiraiya tells him with a lecherous expression as he looked at Naruto and Haku.

"Pervert I already told you to stop trying to put my himes into your books…we are too damn young and have NO interest." Naruto told him annoyed.

"So? You are all adults due to being ninja, besides you are older-" He tells Naruto then quickly doges a few ice needles that flew at his most prized body part.

"If Naruto-sama says we are too young then we are." Haku tells the old pervert glaring at him as if she was daring him to disagree even though it didn't seem to bother the pervert at all.

"Man Naruto you have one of your girls calling you her master already. I didn't know you were into the domination idea you crazy gaki."

"What? I don't even know what you mean?...actually I don't want to know. So just shut up seeing as she decided to call me that herself even though I told her she didn't need to." Naruto told him clearly not wanting to hear his sensei's teasing though this just made Jiraiya laugh a bit more than leave the two teens by themselves.

"Anyways, Haku I guess I have to go with Ero-sennin even if he does annoy me to no end. So, I guess I have to go tell the others; see you later ice-hime." Naruto told her giving her a quick kiss on the check then left the house leaving Haku who was holding her cheek surprised by the sudden display of affection but soon continued to prepare for her own day with a small smile on her face.

Course after a while Naruto managed to tell each one of the girls who understood that he had a mission and wished him good luck. So, he ended up eating a good meal made freshly from Ayame who was happy to spend time cooking for the boy she fell in love with. For she loved both cooking and talking with Naruto and when she can do both at the same time, she was more than happy to do so. Though he could only enjoy a few bowls before Jiraiya showed up again.

"Ready to go?"

"Yea, just let me finish this last bowl." Naruto told him then quickly finished it and put the money he owed onto the table. "See you when I get back Ayame-chan." Naruto tells the waitress then gave her a hug that caused her to blush a bit before he left.

"Man this kid can get any girl he wants, maybe I should bring him into a bar so that I can get a nice girl to get him started with helping me with my boo- Ouch!" Jiraiya mumbled to himself until he screamed out in pain when a small splash of hot water landed on his lap making him look at Ayame who was giving him a falsely sweet smile that promised pain to any male it focused at.

"Please don't try to corrupt Naruto-kun like that Jiraiya-sama." She told him keeping the smile while she respectfully told him showing that there was a threat hidden under the respectful words.

"H-hai" Jiraiya quickly told the girl slightly afraid of the girl seeing as she had more hot water on her and clearly wasn't afraid to use it. "Man Naruto sure can pick the scariest girls to date." He couldn't help but think as he tried to keep the girl calm before he made a break for it.

Soon enough after Jiraiya escaped both he and Naruto left the village ready to go out and find the person that they needed too. Though Naruto refused simply waste all of his time searching so he asked to be trained as well which Jiraiya agreed to and soon tossed him a water balloon confusing Naruto until Jiraiya explained it.

"Well gaki popping this balloon using only chakra movement is the first step in learning one of your father's techniques. Now I know I could have taught you this last month but thanks to your chakra control needing work I didn't want to get you started on an attack that needs complete chakra control to be used fully. So how about you begin the first step now." Jiraiya explains and Naruto simply nods seeing as it was an acceptable reason as to why he didn't teach him it earlier and then began to push the water inside of the balloon around in one direction until finally a hole was created and all of the water spilled out. Course Naruto just smiled at this thinking that he finished the first step only to be tossed yet another water balloon which confused him.

"The balloon has to be completely popped like this." Jiraiya tells him then pops another water balloon in his hand that caused water to splash everywhere. "Now continue until you can manage this." He adds and then continues to walk with Naruto following right behind him while also trying to pass the first part of the jutsu.

"So, who are we trying to find anyways?" Naruto finally asks Jiraiya during a break in his training.

"We are looking for one of my old teammates, Tsunade. Now finding her is going to be annoying seeing as she constantly moves around to avoid her debt collectors." Jiraiya explains feeling no need to hide the information from his student.

"Ah, well then I guess we will have to simply catch up to her before she moves to another town. Though I wonder why we need someone who obviously can't keep a hold of her own money for our village."

"Don't worry while she does suck with money there is a very good reason why she would be best kept in the village." Jiraiya tells Naruto then they both walked into the next town. "Now how about you go find a good hotel for us while I look for some information." Jiraiya tells him with a smile then ran off before Naruto could say a word so he could chase some girl. Course Naruto just shrugged it off and did as he asked before doing what he was asked before simply relaxing in the room.

"Damn pervert making me get a room for the night just because he found some girl to lust after. I mean really she had to be like twenty years younger than him anyways…oh, well I get some free time to practice and he will more than likely get slapped before he comes here." Naruto thinks with a smile then works on popping the balloon.

(not doing a battle between Sasuke and Itachi simply because Sasuke was injured in the exams and really if they took so long to get there how did he show up so fast? Or even get out of the village unsupervised?)

+few hours later+

Naruto finally completed the first step after getting annoyed and simply trying to fill the balloon with a ton of chakra that made the movement his control horrible which in turn made the movement wild enough that ended up doing more damage to the balloon. So, now with that found out Naruto quickly tried to do the same thing but this time use more control and he did end up popping the balloon just like Jiriaya did. Now he just had to wait for the Jiriaya to show up which only took about another half an hour for him to stumble in obviously drunk and had a massive red mark on his cheek that seemed to be formed by several hands though he passed out as soon as he entered the room. Course what surprised him was the fact that a group of girls was walking towards their room as well.

"Can I help you girls?" Naruto asks them as they reached their room.

"Yes, we are going to punish that pervert for trying to flirt with not only us but our daughters as well." One of the women told Naruto who then noticed that the ages of the girls seemed to be mid-twenties to late thirties. There were several that looked to be closer to his age as well such as a girl that looked to be around sixteen.

"Man the perv. Really just reached a new low." Naruto couldn't help but think as he stood aside and let the girls come in their room. "Go right ahead though please don't kill him, I need him to help with my mission and to get some training in." Naruto told them and they all happily went at the drunk pervert who even in his alcohol induced sleep groaned in pain under their brutal assault. "Man, a woman can truly do some serious damage to people even if they aren't ninja if you get them mad enough." Naruto couldn't help but think as the onslaught lasted for several minutes before the group began to tire. Course when this happened that finally stopped giving the white-haired man his punishment then told Naruto thank you before quickly leaving to go back to whatever they were doing originally. Course as soon as they did Jiraiya instantly was up and glared at Naruto.

"Why didn't you stop them from attacking me, your sensei?" he asked clearly angry.

"Well you deserved it. So, now that you are here and awake can you show me the next step of the jutsu?" Naruto asks pretending the beating never happened.

"Why you ungrateful little brat." Jiraiya growled out and started to move closer to Naruto who had an evil smirk on his face.

"Ah, no sensei you shouldn't go after people younger than you again!" Naruto called out louder than he needed to. Course he did this to get the girls attention yet again seeing as they didn't move too far and were soon back at their room glaring at Jiraiya again thinking that he was going to flirt with more of the town's younger girls again.

"Wait I wasn't going to go after anyone besides the brat." Jiraiya told them which turned out to be the wrong thing to say seeing as Naruto quickly did his best impression of a kicked puppy which made the girls forget the fact that he was clearly a ninja and get mad at Jiraiya yet again this time for beating a child.

"Damn kid is smart I have to give him that. But man do I hate him for that right now!" Jiraiya thinks as he begins to back away from the girls yet again and eventually take his only escape route which was out the rooms window. Though the girls soon ran out of the room as fast as they could determined to get Jiraiya so they missed Naruto evil cackling as he watched his teacher flee from the window.

"I still have my pranking skills." Naruto thinks happily then gets ready for bed seeing as it was getting pretty late.

+next morning+

Naruto woke up after a peaceful sleep and found that sometime during the night Jiraiya came back into the room and fell asleep in the bed next to Naruto's though he somehow didn't look all that hurt. Still after a while Jiraiya ended up waking up soon after that so they were soon back on their journey with Naruto now trying to do step two of his father's jutsu which was to pop a rubber ball which was a bit harder than the first step seeing as he still needs to keep control of the attack even as he pumped a massive amount of chakra into the ball.

Course this kept him occupied for most of the time as they made their way to the next village. Where they found a gambling hall where several old men were happily gambling.

"Hello gentlemen what can I do for you?" one of the men asks them as they walk in.

"Well I am looking for information on someone you probably know as the legendary sucker." Jiraiya tells the man who smiles.

"I might know something about her but my memory isn't all that good. Thankfully gambling helps me think. So, how about we bet. If you win you get your information for free; but if you lose you have to pay me 150,000 yen okay?" the man asks and Jiraiya accepts to get the information

(Jiraiya loses and Naruto's chakra pushes dice over making him win to get the information then they begin using the information.)

So, soon enough they were walking down a street trying to find their target again while Naruto continued to practice the second step.

(making it a bit harder seeing as he does need to practice controlling a lot more chakra at one time in several different directions then he has ever done before. Though when done he will be able to do it with one hand.)

Their walk was calm until a massive pop that put Jiraiya on edge and made the people around them flee. Though thankfully there weren't a lot of people to freak out though Jiraiya was still ready for battle until he saw what caused the noise.

For while everyone else was slightly scared Naruto was celebrating the fact that he finally popped rubber ball properly with enough force to even burn his hands slightly. Though he didn't notice it at the current moment.

"Man can this kid learn jutsu any faster?" Jiraiya mentally complained even if he was proud of the kid. So, he tossed Naruto a thin ballon that confused the kid.

"Now that you have the power, we need it to be controlled even more. So, now use all that power but don't pop the balloon, and then after that all you have left to do is practice to create them faster and faster." Jiraiya told Naruto who quickly got started in practicing doing this as he continued to walk. Though sadly the search still wasn't fruitful even as the sun began to go down.

"Ugh, I can't believe that we haven't found this woman yet. But right now I am too hungry to worry about that so let's eat." Naruto told Jiraiya then ran towards a restaurant/bar with Jiraiya following soon after, for he was hungry as well.

So, soon enough they were inside looking for a seat when Jiraiya saw their target. "Man this kid's luck is ridiculous. He found her just by wanting something to eat." Jiraiya thought slightly amused but still went to put in their orders before sitting down next to their target with Naruto following not knowing she was found yet.

"Hello Tsunade imagine finding you here." Jiraiya said as he sat down across from her. Course this made her stop drinking her sake for a moment and her black haired friend tense up for a moment. Course this soon passed and she drank the rest of her cup's sake in one gulp.

"Hey Jiraiya what do you want?" she asked knowingly then looked at Naruto. "and who's the brat?"

"I am here to bring you back to the village Tsunade… and this is Naruto Uzumaki. " Jiraiya told her adding emphasis on his last name. Course this caused Tsunade to widen her eyes for just a moment before she hid it just as fast. "And now hopefully you will come back easier to appease him some seeing as he is her godson thanks to Kushina. So, she had to make up for the missed years as well." Jiraiya thought though knew that there would still be a problem bringing her back seeing as she did suffer the mental trauma of losing her loved ones in the village already and also lost her 'daughter' Kushina as well.

"Why am I needed back at the village?" Tsunade asks ignoring the fact that her grandson was there for the moment.

"They need you back to heal several of our badly injured fighters and… to become the next hokage." Jiraiya told her then watched as her eyes narrowed in anger.

"I already told those damn elder that I won't be coming back; even if there is someone I have to take care of." She told him glancing over at a still surprised Naruto briefly. "Besides being Hokage is a fool's job anyway." She told them enraging Naruto enough to slam his hands down on the table.

"Listen you old hag I refuse to just sit here and listen to some drunk diss jiji and my dream job!" Naruto told her causing her rage to increase.

"Oh, yea, want to take this outside?" Tsunade asked wanting to punish the one who annoyed her godson or not. So, they both walked out of the building even though the others tried to stop it. They then marched several feet away from each other then moved several feet away from each other still ignoring the other two.

"Okay brat ready to be beaten? And you know what? I only need to use one finger to defeat you." She told him faking being cocky. "After all if I hurt you too badly then my daughter will hate me for all eternity in the afterlife." She thought but hid this reason so she wouldn't appear even slightly weak.

"Bring it old lady I will just have to beat you and get a better person to act as our kage until I take over." Naruto told her.

"Hey what makes you think they would ever let a brat like you ever become Hokage?

"Because I promised myself that I would become kage and I never go back on my promises. For that is my nindo; my ninja way." Naruto told her making her briefly see her dead loved ones close to him before she shook the thought clear from her head. Meanwhile Naruto was for once truly seeing red. Seeing as she not only made fun of the job that he truly admired but also insulted two people that he treated as family. Well one of them was family while the other was close enough to basically be family. Though he said nothing else as they simply waited for the other to start the match.

This didn't last too long though seeing as Naruto charged at her trying to hit her with a punch that was easily dodged using her superior speed. Tsunade then flicked Naruto on the forehead sending him flying back into a brick wall that then fell onto his back.

(Yet again my file is cruddy and this was not all of the file that I have on fanfiction…and again I have no idea why…but I will try to mix the file I have together with what there was as smoothly as possible…luckily its on pages that everyone knows anyways)

"See nothing but a cocky snot nosed brat." Tsunade told herself with a smile figuring the fight was over seeing as no normal person could handle even a fraction of her monstrous strength. So of course, the last thing she expected was to see Naruto pulling himself out of the rubble looking like he only had a bruise on his head that was slowly getting smaller and a bit of blood that was now smeared on his forehead.

"Ugh did not expect that. Luckily with my training I can focus more chakra to a part of my body to make it heal faster." Naruto admitted to himself and then glared at his opponent again. "You won't take me out that easily." He told her then tensed and drew out pure chakra armor that again had a green tint to it though it wasn't as noticeable. "Chakra Armor: Wind" he mumbled after the suit was made. "Now let's truly begin." He finally added then launched a set of his chain at Tsunade.

Course she had no clue exactly what the strange jutsu did so she did what her instincts told her to and smacked the chain away from hitting her chest with a hand coated in chakra. Course after she did this, she was surprised to find that she had a pretty bad cut on her hand even though it was reinforced. So, she just looked over at her opponent with a small amount of shock clear on her face. Though that lasted only a moment before she began to heal her hand which took a bit longer than normal while she dogged two more chains that pierced the ground where she stood.

"Run all you want but you are still in range of my attacks." Naruto told her with a smile even though he knew that he was partially lying but seeing as Tsunade had no idea about his jutsu she was unaware.

"Hmm, gaki while I admit that your jutsu is quite surprising you still aren't a match for me."

"We will see about that." Naruto told her narrowing his eyes and beginning to attack at a faster pace than before only to be dogged each time causing several holes in the ground to be created.

Course while he was doing this Tsunade weaved closer to Naruto until she was close enough to hit him in the face with her entire strength. Thankfully before she could she had to jump back before a chain that came up from the ground pieced straight through her arm. Course this made Naruto a bit annoyed that his plan didn't work but soon launched his attack at Tsunade again only to hit and piece through a nearby pole without Tsunade having to even move.

"Fool your aim is as good as your strength." Tsunade taunted only to be shocked again when she saw that while her focus was on the chain Naruto reabsorbed them and used them to get close to her fast. Course due to her shock she was caught off guard and Naruto was able to cut her torso at least a bit before she moved from the chakra blade he formed from the armor on his arm. Course Naruto took that moment to come around with his other hand to try and form a rasengan in his bare hand and for a few moment had the ball of chakra working but as soon as he tried to use it on Tsunade it lost its form and became a blast of energy that pushed the two apart again. Though sadly for Naruto while he was recovering from his failed attack Tsunade already was ready and hit him in the chest with a punch that yet again sent him flying but this time he went through two walls before having a third crumble on him and this time he couldn't force himself to get up due to feeling the pain of what felt like a brick being slammed onto her chest that was going sixty miles an hour.

"Ha, and you lose gaki." Tsunade told him happily but then began healing the diagonal cut she got from the fight which again was taking longer to fix.

"A-actually you lose sensei." Shizune told her travel partner timidly.

"What!?"

"She is right. After all you said that you could beat him with one finger when you just used your whole fist to smack him through those walls…that I will have to pay for." Jiraiya told his old teammate with a smile until he mentioned having to pay for damages. Course this just made Tsunade annoyed and she soon walked away back to her hotel room with Shizune following soon after but stopped suddenly.

"Hey gaki that last jutsu was far to advanced for someone as weak as you. Just give up on it before you face disappointment from your failure." She told him only to hear a growl from the somehow still conscious boy.

"Too advanced ay? I will show you! I will have it down in a week and use it to kick your ass and bring you back to the village. And that is a promise on my nindo." Naruto told her determined only for her to laugh at him.

"Yea right you will never get that jutsu down. But you know what how about a bet? If you manage to learn that jutsu in a week then I will go back to the damn village with you again…hell I will even give you me necklace. But if you lose then you have to spend the rest of your life sending me eighty percent of the money you make each year." Tsunade tells him shocking Shizune that she would bet her necklace and also by how dangerous she made the bet for the young boy.

"Mater you can't pos-" she began only to be interrupted by Naruto struggling to get up from the rubble even with all his chakra focused on helping heal the damage.

"I accept your challenge. For I'm not gonna back down from my promise. For that is my nindo! My ninja way! Dattebayo!" Naruto told her with his confidence clear. Course this makes Tsunade suddenly see an image of the ones she lost standing by Naruto again but she shook it off yet again and left the area.

"Just you wait grandma I swear I will prove you wrong. After all what kind of kage would I be if I lose to some jutsu!" Naruto thought to himself as he was helped to their own room by Jiraiya. For said old man was more worried about the bet then his student's health seeing as he knew that the boy was already well on his way to being perfectly healthy and only probably needed a good night's rest to be fine.

ANEE so i am going to have to look through a flash drive I have of this so I MAY re-reupload these when i got the proper saved files...because apparently after I transferred all my files to this new computer they messed up...hopefully i didn't loose a bunch of chapters (because copying would just be annoying)

And I am going to end this a bit early seeing as this seems like a pretty good spot to stop. Anyways sorry for not posting like I said before college is taking up all my time. I mean just for each test I have to study like 12 hours just to get semi-good grades. Though that is partially because it is a hard class. Anyways now that I am finally in a break I am going to try and post a massive update of like 2 for each of the stories I have in the works as a Christmas/new years present for all of you readers who hopefully enjoy my stories if even a little bit.
