Naruto and Temari found themselves making a well relatively decent friends. Well as friendly as warden and prisoner can be and as well as the Daughter of Kage and a Village Outcast could be.
They had fallen into a routine, Temari would drag Naruto all over Konoha, investigating it and finding the nice eateries and getting Naruto in. Whilst Naruto, would help hone Temari's skills. Temari was a long range fighter and used her fan to conduct her futon jutsu compared to Naruto who used kunai and swords to conduct his wind affinity.
But soon enough, Naruto and his team were rotated out and a team of Chunin were brought in to watch over her. Naruto had been on C-rank missions with Sasuke and a new Kunoichi and due to the Kunoichi's inexperience of dealing with Naruto and Sasuke, the personal vendetta between the two genin had nearly foiled the missions.
Although the Kunoichi noticed that it was Sasuke who was starting the majority of the confrontations there was still a massive stigma against Naruto.
However, as Naruto had gotten dressed to go and train with Temari, Jiraiya had turned up at his door "Gaki. The counsel has given me a mission."
Naruto nodded "You want me to come with you?"
Jiraiya nodded "We're getting the Godaime."
"Tsunade! It's not that hard to work out."
Soon enough Jiraiya and Naruto had packed up and were heading out of the village "Going somewhere?"
It was Temari. "Temari-san…I have a mission. So I won't be around for a bit."
Temari nodded "Be safe." Naruto smirked wryly "I can only do my best."
The pair left the Village and travelled in silence until it was out of sight "Naruto, I'm going to teach you a jutsu and it is a pretty cool one."
Naruto was hooked and Jiraiya handed him a water balloon "You need to pop this by spinning your chakra." Naruto nodded, the balloon convulsed but did not pop. He carried on, Hari had not taught him about chakra flow and rotational patterns.
They had passed three towns and Naruto had just managed to pop one balloon "How's it going?"
"Not too good. I get you need to spin your chakra but I don't get how. It's something I don't know."
Jiraiya nodded "Okay, are you right or left handed?"
"Right handed."
"Spin your chakra to the left. Use your left hand, get used to it in your weaker hand and then do it in your dominant hand." With that the water balloons began to pop like crazy.
Jiraiya nodded "Minato, your son is no genius…but he has more grit and determination that anyone I've met…He'll go far." He thought to himself as he remembered Minato teaching him how to do it.
"Naruto, stop for now. Here we are. Tanzaku Town, gambling central in Hi no Kuni."

Shizune was a pretty woman standing at 5'5 with dark grey eyes that looked black in a certain light and wore a black hospital kimono showing that she was a senior apprentice, held onto a pig wearing a chain of pearls. "Tsunade-Sama you've won enough to clear up two thirds of your debts it's a good sign."
The woman she stood over wore a green jacket with the kanji for 'gambler' on it, high heels, old shinobi pants and a shirt bindings that struggled to conceal her massive cleavage. I have a bad feeling about this. First Orochimaru wants me to heal his arms what's going to happen next.

Naruto had gotten up from the bed he was resting in when he heard a knock on the door. "Who? What?" His words failed him as he recognised Itachi "Fuck." He slammed the door shut, dived into the room as the shark man sliced the door down with ease.
"Please come with us!" Demanded Itachi.
"Shuriken Taijuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Replied Naruto, as he grabbed his stuff and dived out the window. In mid-air slowly descending was a 'flash tag'. It went off.
"FUCK THAT! I'M SHAVING THE LITTLE BASTARDS LEGS AND ARMS!" Thundered the shark man as he jumped out the window. "KISAME! NO MAIMING HIM!" Snapped the Itachi.
"Crap, crap, crap this is bad very bad. Very very bad indeed." Naruto thought as he was backed into a corner. They were good, they had easily boxed him in. As the two men entered the alleyway, Naruto found it hard to miss the singed cloth and slight burns that they possessed.
His thoughts were cut off as the alleyway dissolved as Jiraiya shouted "SUMMONING JUTSU: GREAT FIRE TOAD OESOPHAGUS!"
The alleyway had turned into a massive oesophagus "Naruto-gaki don't panic and most importantly don't move. This is the gullet of the great fire toad, these two punks have no chance of escape." Crowed Jiraiya but it was short-lived as Itachi's eyes changed and with a murmured word black flames burst out of them and the two shinobi ran out. "Fuuinjutsu: Katon Level 9 Sealing: Fuin!" Droned Jiraiya as he sealed the flames away but it did enough to release the jutsu.
"WE WILL GET YOU UZUMAKI NARUTO!" Shouted Kisame, the man's name had been mentioned at some point. Probably when, Naruto had hit him in the face with a chilli bomb as they fled the oesophagus-returned alleyway.

Tsunade stared at the Sake bottle, Shizune stiffened. As was Tsunade but the Slug Sage didn't show it. They had felt the fight break out, didn't hear the voices, of those involved. Soon enough the door opened and she heard a voice rumble "TSUNADE-HIME!" Tsunade looked up and surprisingly their stood Jiraiya and a blonde kid that reminded Tsunade strongly of the Yondaime.
"Jiraiya…Second teammate I've seen in the past eight hours." Tsunade said calmly before turning to Shizune.
"Leave us…Take the short one with you."
Naruto bristled at the remark "Jiraiya, this old bat is gonna be the Hokage? Dear Kami help us."
Tsunade's eyes narrowed "You think I'm going to be a bad Hokage. I'm half tempted to take the seat and make you see for yourself…I don't want the seat so bugger off."
Naruto sighed "If not, then I'll have to kick your ass and drag you back to Konoha myself. My stasis seals should be able to hold you."
Tsunade cracked the Sake bottle, Jiraiya grinned nervously "All right brat, outside. I may be out of shape but I'll teach you a lesson."
"Tsunade-hime, for my sake…don't kill him."
"I won't. But he will hurt."
Naruto and Tsunade faced each other in the street "You kick my ass and I'll become Hokage." Naruto nodded, Tsunade made the gesture of 'come and get some'.
Naruto rushed forwards at first Shizune was startled. She hadn't seen a genin move that fast initially. Naruto feinted with a direct attack. Tsunade nodded, this one had some skill. She aptly moved slightly and managed to dodge one kage Bunshin, she punched another.
She used her leg to block Naruto's abdomen kick. Naruto's eyes widened at the flexibility Tsunade displayed. He replaced himself with a kunai with flash tag. It went off, Naruto materialised behind Tsunade, who counter replaced him with a log.
Naruto suddenly found himself flying down the street. He hit the floor with his shoulder, spun, went shoulders over feet, head over heels and crumpled a metal skip. Naruto created two clones, which pulled him out of the ruined skip. He disappeared in a whirl of leaves and reappeared, lashing out with a reverse heel high kick aimed at Tsunade's head.
Tsunade ducked, then had to throw her body backwards to swoop low under the reverse kick. She chuckled as Naruto planted his foot and used the momentum to launch himself into a flip leading into a dropkick.
She blocked the kick and as Naruto back flipped to land on his feet, Tsunade struck. Tsunade possessed a major lightning affinity and had practised a decent understanding of earth and water. She had mainly combined her doton into her fighting style, mainly to harden her body. She slammed her foot on the ground and the ground launched Naruto towards her. Naruto saw her two fingers curl up and suddenly he was planted into the floor, cleanly unconscious.
Tsunade wiped her hands down "He did well."
Jiraiya nodded "Pure taijutsu…not his strongest. He's much better with a blade in his hands. He also didn't want to cause mass property damage. How bad is he injured?"
"Concussion, possibly bruised ribs and back."
"So he could practise the Rasengan?"
Tsunade stopped "He's THEIR Son?"
Jiraiya nodded "Village treated him like shit. His teacher was Uzuki Hari, sensei Hatake Kakashi. Hari taught him more than Kakashi, but then again Kakashi had his own orders."
Tsunade nodded "He has a week to learn the Rasengan and I'll take up the Kage mantle…Although, Jiraiya, I already am tempted to."
Naruto groaned and found himself in a hotel room, next to him was Shizune. She was sleeping in the chair, she jolted awake as Naruto stirred "What were you thinking?"
"Wasn't…I've…grown up with respect for the Hokage…To hear her talking shit about them…"
Shizune nodded "Tsunade was impressed by you…Says she has a bet. You are to get the jutsu, Jiraiya-Sama has begun to teach you and she'll take up the mantle."
