Rotation in Naruto's opinion was the best! His actions during the Crush and the returning of the Godaime Hokage, had made him more respected throughout the Konoha Shinobi Force.
Furthermore, upon Jiraiya finding out his lack of access to several buildings that most Shinobi required access to the village experienced three days of turbulent shakes and tremors.
During those three days Shinobi and Civilians; veterans, inexperienced, retired and those who were just plain wankers all learnt or remembered why it was not a good idea to anger Jiraiya. Contrary to popular belief, Jiraiya possessed more chakra reserves and denser coils than Orochimaru the supposedly 'strongest of the Sannin'. But in fact it was Jiraiya. That was also the reason why the Summons were unleashed, it stopped Jiraiya from going on a full on rampage.
Naruto found himself in the Hokage's office collecting a shinobi bank account details, library card and others. Also in the office were three other shinobi, one was an elderly man with a missing foot and a wok on his back; his name was Maruboshi Kosuke; another bore an older chunin vest, this was Shira Gera and the final member was Kanden Tekuno. All three of the shinobi with Naruto were part of the Konoha Sword Corps.
Naruto had been attached to them for three months now and as a result he had refined his kenjutsu skills with a katana and his flip-out tanto. Furthermore Tekuno was one of the few Futon shinobi in the corps actively serving that were not only available to help Naruto refine his Futon affinity, but also one of the few that did not hate the blonde genin. "Border patrol successful, nothing occurred. Uzumaki Naruto has displayed remarkable improvement in kenjutsu and futon jutsu."
Tsunade nodded "Very good. Dismissed." Tekuno turned to his squad.
"Congratulations on our fifth mission together, drinks anyone?" Naruto nodded.
"Yeah, not got anything planned aside from dodge Sasuke and probably see Temari…Part of her parole team."
The group nodded "You did well out there. Let's have a drink and then you go and do what it is that needs doing."
Three drinks later, Naruto found himself at the training ground with Team Seven. Sasuke was their eying Temari with his sharingan activated. "Temari, don't use any jutsu that require handseals."
Temari spun around and a grin crossed her face as she saw Naruto appear on the training ground "Why?" She turned and saw Sasuke, Sharingan activated.
"That." Temari nodded, she spun around her fan outstretched fury on her face as she saw Sasuke's eyes follow not her hands but her backside.
"Fusajin no Jutsu!" She yelled whipping up the dust on the training ground. Naruto was moving as the dust storm engulfed his pyromaniac inferior/superior complexed team mate and friend. Naruto closed the gap and managed to land a devastating gut punch and knee strike sending Sasuke backwards.
Sasuke flipped and the Heir of surviving family of the other Founding clan of the village, landed like a cat "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Temari cut the jutsu as it engulfed in a firestorm.
Several chunin arrived on the scene, most of them had spent time with the former Kazekage's daughter and knew that she wouldn't do something like this unless necessary. Following the dust storm was a fireball. They arrived to find Uchiha Sasuke markings on his face, launching himself at Naruto.
"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke ceased immediately." Naruto jumped backwards, Sasuke launched forwards his hand begin to vibrate and soon became encased in a vibrant blue lightning.
Naruto's eyes widened "Oh boy." He looked, he didn't dare move. He smirked, he reached into his pocket. Sasuke charged, Naruto reached into his pouch and chucked five different coloured orbs. He turned to Temari, she nodded, he wrapped his arms around her and he shunshinned out of the way as several Chunin successfully overpowered the Loyal Uchiha.
"Are you okay, Temari-san?" Naruto asked.
Temari nodded and sighed as Naruto placed his hands in the air as Chunin from the Military Police Force apprehended him. Everyone was escorted to the Hokage's office, Tsunade listened to the outcome of events "Release Temari-San and Uzumaki Naruto. Genin Uchiha Sasuke will spend three four days in solitary."
Naruto winced, solitary was a shit punishment. No-one ever wanted solitary but it was effective. He could feel Sasuke's anger and eyes burning into his back "Hokage-Sama, I apologise. I should…"
"You did everything right, Genin Uzumaki. Keeping the Kazekage's daughter safe was priority. Speaking of that, the Kaze no Kuni no Daimyo and the Governing Council of Sunagakure no Sato, have acquiesced to our demands, apologies have been made and now some of our VIP are to be restored."
Naruto nodded "Meaning Temari-San, Kankuro-San and Gaara-San, they're the main ones I can think of?"
Tsunade nodded "Those three, their sensei and thirty of their top Chunin and Jonin in total."
Naruto nodded "Permi…"
"Granted…Chunin Uzumaki. It took some badgering but the Clans overruled the Elders and the Civilians. You and Chunin Nara are the only ones that we can think of that deserve the promotion. I trust…your…confrontation with Genin Uchiha WILL NOT be happening again?"
"Hai, Tsunade-Sama. I will not start any confrontation with my only surviving original team mate…I reserve the right to defend myself as necessary."
Tsunade nodded and the daughter of the deceased kage and her parole officer left. Naruto shut the door behind them, "Congratulations Chunin Uzumaki."
"Please Temari-San, call me Naruto." With that duo walked down the stairs and almost into Kankuro and Gaara. Out of the three, Naruto was closest to Temari and Gaara. Temari because she was a wind affinity and generally the one who was out and about the most. Whereas Gaara, was kept under Jonin observation and due to both their statuses of Jinchuriki they learnt a fair bit about each other.
Naruto, Jiraiya, Naruto's temporary rotation team and two squads of ANBU, headed out early two days later. The ANBU led them on a brusque pace through the trees and along several lesser known paths through the woods of Hi no Kuni and eventually they made it to the borderline between Hi no Kuni and Kaze no Kuni.
The Sand Siblings and Baki bowed to their former captors and walked out onto the sand "Follow where Baki walks, that way is the surest way to get to Suna…Unless you're me." Gaara rasped as the sand elevated him and carried him into the desert and out of sight.
"You'll see her again kid…The ninja world isn't that large." Jiraiya said conversationally.
"You think?"
Jiraiya chuckled "Kid, I know. Shinobi don't get to my age not without making some good allies." Naruto did nod at that.
"What did you do to Gaara? I mean you mentioned on our trip that you were a Fuuinjutsu master."
"Fuuinjutsu is the design and creation of seals…Some of these things are SSG, Standard Shinobi Gear. These include explosive tags and storage seals."
Naruto nodded "Fuuinjutsu allows for the design of these things?"
Jiraiya nodded "The most well-known use for them are in the creation of Jinchuriki. You may have heard of freak disasters that rock Iwa, Kumo, Kiri and Suna and occasionally Taki correct."
Naruto nodded "Their Bijuu have gotten loose…"
Jiraiya nodded "Anything else?"
"We haven't really had any problems…Have we?" Naruto asked.
Jiraiya grinned "One. The Uchiha were involved so yeah." The trip back was in silence, on the travel back Jiraiya had gone over to Naruto's team and took Naruto and began to train him in the secrets of Fuuinjutsu.
Naruto unsurprisingly to Jiraiya began to take to the training like a fish to water.
(Sasuke)
The door of solitary opened and waiting for the fuming Uchiha was Kakashi. The Cyclopean Jonin sighed "Come on."
Sasuke fumed as he followed his sensei, why couldn't Naruto have admitted he was better for the girl. Soon enough Kakashi had led Sasuke into a heavily forested area and vanished.
Sasuke's eyes widened as Kakashi vanished and planted a very strong knee strike just below the solar plexus before pinning him to the tree. Kakashi sighed and he fixed Sasuke with a dead-eye stare "Why do you keep doing this?"
Sasuke didn't answer, he didn't need to. Kakashi had read it "Naruto, it scares you that the dead last has not only improved considerably and not only that became Chunin before you."
Sasuke grunted "Sasuke, you and Naruto are so similar but yet so different. I was assigned to you as a Jonin-sensei to protect you and Naruto both…You had the better opportunities and yet you squandered them…Get your act together, and I would strongly recommend you apologise to Naruto as this is more than likely going to go on your record."
Sasuke nodded, Kakashi's hand slacked "Katon…"
