Naruto and Jiraiya's POV

It's been a few days seen Naruto got away from the two followers he's yet to tell Jiraiya he's trying to think how they found him they are obviously following him but he's still not sure what they want with him but he did get a bad vibe from them.

Even before Kurama told him they were dangerous he was able to send out Shadow Clones and at one time his clone was taken out it gave him a slight headache.

Jiraiya has been watching Naruto closely and knows that he's hiding something from him at first he ignored it but when he caught out of the corner of his eye he saw Naruto clutch his head for no reason.

He's also not stupid he knows he's sent out Shadow Clones for what reason he doesn't know. He sighs "Let's take a rest follow me."

Naruto looks over "OK."

They both Shunshin out of the town and into the forest.

Naruto looks around "What the hell Ero-Sennin what are we doing out here."

Jiraiya sighs "What are you hiding from me kid."

Naruto's eyes go wide Could he know well he is one of the legendary Sanin after all.

Kurama then speaks You should tell him I don't know why you haven't told him already.

Naruto sighs 'Yeah, your right.'

Naruto sighs "OK, I'm being followed."

Jiraiya grins "You attracting girls my boy and I didn't have to do anything good work."

Naruto sighs "No there bad news It's two people I know that much. I first felt them after I went off on my walk when you was flirting with the receptionist I felt there Chakra when I left the weapon shop where I bought some Kunai, Shuriken and more Clothes."

Naruto looks down in shame "I was thinking of luring them out of the village to confront them but then Kurama told me I was no match for them and I should run I've been sending out Shadow Clones to throw them off and a short while ago they attacked one of them and took him out."

Jiraiya listened he was shocked how did he not sense anything his spy network would have mentioned if there was bad news. "You're saying it's the Akatsuki."

Naruto nods "Yes, they caught my clone by surprise I don't know how they found me but it's those two Akatsuki we defended against when we went to get Baa-Chan The Fish guy and Itachi, Well it was Itachi who just killed my clone."

When Naruto looks up at Jiraiya he notices that Jiraiya is in shock "Hey Ero-Sennin you OK."

Jiraiya sighs "Shit this is bad news, Kid, from what you just told me the Akatsuki are still after you I thought I had more time I should have been informed by my spy network it's not working properly tell me where did you send your clone." He looks at Naruto who is staring at him in shock.

Jiraiya grabs his shoulder "Naruto this is important where did you send your clone."

Naruto looks up he's still confused "There still after me."

Jiraiya nods "Yes now tell me."

Naruto nods and tells him Jiraiya nods "Stay here and control your Chakra I'll be back shortly work on some Jutsu or something just don't make to much noise better yet meditate."

Naruto nods "OK."

Jiraiya pats him on the shoulder "Don't worry kid they won't touch you."

Naruto nods "OK"

Jiraiya Shunshin's away but he's deep in thought This is not good how was I not informed of their activities it's highly unlikely my spy network wouldn't know of them being in the area.

He opens up his senses and feels there Chakra, he appears on the roof close to them he's suppressed his Chakra Dammit this is not good seems I will have to step up his training I will also have to inform Tsunade he summons a Toad and informs the frog about the Akatsuki and then sends off the Toad.

KONOHAGAKURE

Tsunade is in her office doing paperwork she sighs "Dammit paperwork I hate paperwork" Just then a poof of smoke and a frog is in front of her she looks up "A messenger toad"

The toad nods "I have a message from Jiraiya."

Tsunade nods and puts a seal over the room "Speak."

The Toad speaks and Tsunade is in shock "This is bad OK tell Jiraiya to keep him safe, oh and whilst you are here take this it's for Naruto" The Toad takes the letter then disappears.

Tsunade rubs her eyes "The Akatsuki this is bad not what I wanted I hope you stay safe both of you, Ino would never forgive me if I let you get hurt Naruto-Kun."

She groans "Quoting Shikaku Troublesome"

Jiraiya's POV

The messenger toad returns to Jiraiya gives him the letter says it's for Naruto then disappears. Jiraiya smirks "From Ino I bet I'll give him this later can't distract him this is troublesome I will have to keep an eye on them."

Year 3

It's been several weeks now Jiraiya was able to send Itachi and Kisame east whilst they went west Jiraiya trained him several new Jutsu's of Wind such as Fūton: Daitoppa: (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough), Fūton: Kaza No Yaiba (Blade Of Wind), Fūton: Renkūdan (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet) and Fūton: Kaiten Shuriken (Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken) For Fire, Katon: Karyudan (Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet), Katon: Shuriken No Jutsu (Fire Release: Shuriken Technique) His Earth Doton: Yomi Numa (Earth Release: Swamp Of The Underworld), Doton: Shinju Zanshu No Jutsu (Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique), Doton: Doryudan: (Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet)

As well as teaching him how to add Wind to his Rasengan he's also started teaching him Sage Mode although it's taking a lot of time. After one such Research trip he came back to see Naruto learning something new at first he thought it was the Rasengan and started to turn away asit started out as a Rasengan then it changed and then Naruto threw it Jiraiya was in shock then he then heard Naruto should Rasenshuriken he actually did a Hinata and feinted not hearing the massive destruction the move caused.

He also learned some other moves such as Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion) and Shuriken Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)

We now find Naruto and Jiraiya in Sunagakure they visited Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro, Temari actually drooled when she saw Naruto it's been a while since Naruto saw them last.

She tried to flirt with him when it failed, Jiraiya told her it was because he has a girl back home and she was surprised when it wasn't Sakura but her friend Ino Yamanaka which she thought was ironic.

They left Sunagakure after a week and continued their trip and after another hard day training there resting and camping outside as there broke because Jiraiya would rather spend the money on drinking or gambling not that Naruto isn't used to it by now he's been with Ero-Sennin for years after all.

Jiraiya would often disappear whilst the toads were training Naruto to meet with his contacts or to do his damned research.

There now both chilling out Jiraiya still has Ino's letter he looks at Naruto he's been depressed maybe he thinks Ino doesn't care anymore. He sighs "Hey Naruto catch."

Naruto looks up and catches a letter. "What's this."

Jiraiya sighs "A letter from Ino."

Naruto smiles "Wow took her months to reply."

Jiraiya sighs "Actually it arrived months ago but with the Akatsuki situation I thought it would distract you."

Naruto nods "I understand it was logical to do that."

Jiraiya smirks "You're learning quick now read your girlfriend's letter."

Naruto blushes "She's not my girlfriend Ero-Sennin" but he opens the letter and starts reading he needs a distraction he looks up "Hey Ero-Sennin when I reply should I mention Akatsuki."

Jiraiya shakes his head "No, just say you was busy and lost track of time."

Naruto nods "Good idea."

Naruto tears open the letter and he starts reading

To Naruto-Kun

Thanks for your letter I was so glad you wrote to me I tried to write to you but I didn't know how to get it to you but now I know what to do well obviously you're reading this after all

Naruto chuckles at that then continues reading

I've been training nonstop since you left Rock Lee helped me with my Taijutsu not sure if I can take him though maybe someday. well in my dreams maybe.

I've also been improving I have two affinities Earth and Water and have learned some cool Jutsu's including some family ones I've also got a new Sensei in Anko-Sensei.

She's taught me a few snake Jutsu's she's a bit of a pervert probably not in Jiraiya's league mind you oh you'll find this funny I used a Mind Transfer Jutsu and made Kiba think he was a horse (Not sure if that's a Jutsu or not)I laughed for hours you had to have been here.

I miss you a lot although we only spent a short time together for me it was some of the happiest moments in my life I can't believe it's been two years now.

I can't wait for you to return everyone is fine they wonder how your doing I'll show them your letter they will be shocked. Sakura's OK but that's all I'll say about her.

From Ino Yamanaka Blond Babe of Konoha Believe it

P.S When you get back we will see who's been corrupted by their Sensei the most.

Naruto smiles Your doing good for yourself Ino-Chan I miss you also I'll see you soon I wish I could go forward in time and Ero-Sennin's not corrupted me yet so you probably win not that he hasn't tried.

Jiraiya smiles "You seem happy how is she."

Naruto smiles "She's doing well she's training hard which is good she has two affinities in Earth And Water pretty cool don't you think I know she wasn't interested in training that hard before she used to be another Sasuke-teme fangirl but she changed."

Jiraiya grins "I think she saw something in you and wanted to change her ways I must say two affinities that's great, maybe I'll have to see how she's going with her training could even teach her a Jutsu maybe."

Naruto smiles "Yeah, maybe oh Ino-Chan's also got another Sensei she's being trained by another pervert in Anko Mitarashi."

Jiraiya laughs "Anko-Chan interesting she may be a pervert but I'm a super Pervert she's not in my league."

Naruto chuckles "Yea Ino-Chan said that she said when I get back to find out who's been corrupted the most from their Sensei's."

Jiraiya grins "Well it seems you bring out the best in your friends that's good though fangirls are really not great Ninjas they don't focus on their training they only focus on their crush it's a weakness that could get them killed."

Naruto thinks about Sakura I wonder If she's finally got her act together "Yeah, so Sage mode I'll have it mastered soon right."

Jiraiya grins "Gamabunta disagrees he says you still have ways to go yet but there impressed."

Naruto scoffs "As long as I don't get warts on my face like you I'll be happy and I'll master it, unlike A Super Pervert I know."

He then folds the letter up and places it in his bag then lies down and quickly falls off to sleep.

Jiraiya grins Minato, Kushina you'd be proud of your boy he's coming on well even got his own girlfriend although he says she's not. He smirks then lies down himself and falls asleep.

Year 4

The fourth year started badly for Naruto and Jiraiya somehow Itachi and Kisame found Naruto again It's really getting suspicious but somehow they caught Naruto unprepared if it wasn't for Jiraiya arriving when he did Itachi and Kisame would have taken Naruto.

He fought well but against them both even surprised Itachi with a Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion), Itachi was pretty singed but other than that wasn't badly hurt after that it went badly for Naruto he wasn't a match for them combined.

Luckily Jiraiya turned the tables when he arrived and managed with the help of Gamabunta beat both Itachi and Kisame, managing to knock them off a cliff. Although he doubted they died although he wished they did.

Of course, his wish was not successful and they didn't die but when they got back up Jiraiya had taken Naruto away and set up false trails in all direction.

Naruto was in a bad way and was in a hospital for over a month recuperating from the battle. Jiraiya informed Tsunade who wasn't best pleased and almost left Konoha to make sure Naruto was OK.

Luckily Jiraiya and Shizune managed to persuade her although she was angry at them both but when she settled down she was happy they were both OK.

When Naruto did get out of the hospital he went straight back to training learning more Jutsu's and continuing his Sage Mode training.

Ino's POV

Ino's continued her training she's now probably the strongest Kunoichi in Konoha out of their friends. She also started learning some Healing Jutsu's as well.

Sakura told her it couldn't hurt plus to be with Naruto it couldn't hurt to know how to heal people including Naruto himself knowing how stubborn he is with his training he's bound to get hurt and Ino agreed on that.

Sakura as well became very strong overall Ino's stronger but if it was hand to hand Sakura would win or using her brain Sakura would win but Ino's more cunning.

Sakura became a great Medic Nin even Tsunade said Sakura might surpass her someday, of course, it nearly didn't happen like Ino and Sakura thought Tsunade didn't want to train Sakura but after she begged her she finally relented.

Ino did receive another letter from Naruto-Kun he told her he's been training so much and traveling replying to her letter took time.

Ino didn't mind much she was just glad to hear from him other than training with Guy-Sensei, and Lee, on Taijutsu and Anko-Sensei on her Snake Jutsu's and even started learning about poisons.

She was also asked by Anko if she wanted to sign the Snake contract Ino said she'd think about it, she was also improving her medical Jutsu's and working at her mother's shop she barely had time to reply also she had his second letter for four months before she ever read it.

What was strange was that Kiba tried asking her out but she told him straight she was with Naruto and he should find someone else she just hoped Naruto was as loyal as she was to their relationship if it was a relationship.

It went so quickly she's not really sure what it was but she does know she can't wait to see him only one more year.

If it wasn't for Sakura helping her get out of her depression of missing Naruto she would have gone insane she misses him so much she misses his pranks Konoha is just, to quiet without Konoha's prankster king around everyone agreed on that well maybe not everyone.

She also wasn't the only one who missed Naruto, Iruka-Sensei did that was obvious it became clear to her that Naruto was his favorite student she'd sometimes see him at Ichiraku's glancing at an empty seat beside him.

Then there was Hinata it was obvious she had feelings for the blond haired troublemaker.

There was Tsunade she cared about Naruto a great deal sort of treats him like a son she never had Ino found that sweet as Naruto had no parents she guesses maybe Iruka-Sensei's like a father figure or big brother figure also.

Then there was Sakura they both helped each other out they both missed him for different reasons.

Ino was surprised how much Sakura changed she thinks with both Sasuke betraying the leaf and Naruto on his training trip that Sakura thought her life was meaningless that's where Ino came in to help her it was actually Ino who talked to Sakura and restarted their friendship.

Lastly, Kakashi-Sensei even missed him which annoyed Ino because in her mind Kakashi was a shit sensei who spent all his time training Sasuke-teme and left Naruto and Sakura to fend for themselves or spent all his time reading that Orange book that Anko told her was a book full of smut.

She's learned a lot of Jutsu's since Naruto left the two from Anko her Clan Jutsu's she also learned two Jutsu's from her Affinities such as Doton: Doryuheki (Earth Release: Earth Style Wall) and Doton: Shinju Zanshu No Jutsu (Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique) They were the earth ones she learned

The Water Jutsu's were Suiton: Mizurappa: (Water Release: Wild Water Wave) and Suiton: Suiryūdan No Jutsu (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique) they were all strong Jutsu's and it took a hell of a lot of Chakra to use.

She wishes she could learn something that reminds her of Naruto-Kun. She's walking down the street deep in thought when she sees Kakashi-Sensei at first she thinks about ignoring him but then she has an idea "Kakashi-Sensei can I talk to you."

Kakashi looks up from his book "Oh Hello Ino, what can I do for you."

Ino smirks "You can train me."

Kakashi raises and eyebrow "Why would I do that."

Ino smirks "Because you're a disgrace to Naruto and Sakura and for penance, you're going to teach me some of Naruto-Kun's moves like Shadow Clone and Rasengan."

Kakashi raises an eyebrow "You want me to teach you those but why."

She sighs "Because I want to show Naruto how much he means to me and surprise him so can you teach me."

Kakashi rubs his chin "You don't have nearly as much Chakra as Naruto so your clones wouldn't be many compared to Naruto but OK I will teach you both Jutsu's if I can, when do you have some free time."

She grins "Well Anko-Sensei's on a mission for a week so I have a week free so there's your answer."

He nods "Very well."

She grins Yes just you wait Naruto I'll surprise you with your own moves.

He watches her with that weird devilish grin but shakes his head She's spending to much time with Anko "Meet me and training field 12 in an hour."

She nods "Hai Kakashi-Sensei."

He nods and Shunshin's away.

She jumps in the air "This is going to be sweet I should go and tell Sakura-Chan." She runs off to Sakura's house.
