Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do tend to play with their heart strings a little bit.

Thanks: I'm trying my best to get these out as quickly as possible so just hold your horses and you will see more.

Inuyasha16451: You will see more here shortly.

Guest AKA Rude One: You guys, this freakin' guest is getting on my nerves. Apparently, they don't have a life. They have to go onto someone's story and tell them to kill themselves, disgusting fat fugly virgin fag. Well, guess what stupid idjit of a guest. I have showers daily so there is in no way am I disgusting. I am actually at 135 lbs and have been seesawing between that weight since my daughter was born, which I love btw considering that's my BMI perfect weight, so no I'm not fat. I might not think I'm beautiful but I get told that A LOT, so I guess the fugly part isn't right as well. We all know I'm not a virgin since I have a daughter that rules out virgin and oh wait, fag. Since my daughter was created NATURALLY, not via a turkey baster. Kind of really makes you stupid when you call people things they aren't because I'm just going to pull out the rules and smack you with them. If you call people names like this and they aren't true then I guess you can tell everyone that you are talking about yourself. So now back at you, you disgusting fat fugly virgin fag. If you were so down about your looks at your sexuality, maybe you should go and talk to a psychiatrist. They might be able to help or just fuck you up worse than you already are, and then we will be happy having a free spot on the earth for someone who isn't so screwed up like you. You do not go onto someone who writes for a livings story and comment/review something like this because it won't matter to us, and we won't care one bit when we are making you look more stupid than you do when you comment crap like this on there. So shut up, pull up your huggies and oh, wait grow the fuck up, you probably tighty whitey wearing piece of shit.

Dark blue princess: Nice monologue. I do that as well on some cases when I'm stuck on a chapter. Unfortunately for me, I tend to also do that while driving and get horns blown at me.

Silvermane1: So glad you love it.

Melyway: I think we will all be sitting on the edge of our seats while waiting.

Chapter 27

'Uchiha…Itachi…?' Naruto asked through her mind.

'Yes, young one. I made a promise to someone who is very dear to you to protect you for as long as I am able to. He doesn't wish you to die and has said I'm just the first front of protection for you. Anything that I do I do not do fully and if we actually do capture you I am the one who will go all out to kill my partner just to protect you from the Akatsuki.' Itachi says as his eyes gentle towards Naruto.

"I take it the kits father made sure that she's well protected, huh?" Kyuubi says while her red eyes bore into Itachi's.

'Yes, dear fox. The Yondaime has never wanted it to come down to this but unfortunately for him all wasn't what it seemed. For Naruto now, she has to be protected even from Sasuke.' They all look at Sasuke.

"Hou…Sharingan. You seem to be familiar with Itachi…Who is this guy?" Kisame asks.

"He is my…younger brother." Itachi answers.

"I heard the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out…by you…" Kisame says and Naruto's eyes widened.

'Listen to me, Naruto. I did have to kill the Uchiha clan, but what most don't know is that I was ordered to. By the village elders and Lord Danzo the head of the ANBU black ops.' When he says this Naruto's eyes widen.

'Why didn't the old man stop them?' She asks.

'The Hokage couldn't as too many of the elders were for this mission to happen and told him he would be knocked out of his seat and a new Hokage placed. I took the mission but the only ones that I couldn't have the heart to kill were my parents and little brother.' Itachi says with a tint of sadness in his eyes.

"That figures. The elders have always thought of themselves as being higher than the Hokage and that their rules should always be followed. If it wasn't for the Hokage I bet they would have ordered the kit to be put to death or some odd brainwashing crap that would make her a doll to do as they wish." Kyuubi says while growling a little inside of Naruto.

'You are right, dear fox. They were going to do that until the Yondaime made a rule they cannot break or they will forfeit their own life. They cannot kill or harm the villages Jinchuriki or their life will automatically be taken. The only thing I ask of you, young one, is to not tell Sasuke the truth about our family's massacre. He has to be the one to kill me, and no I will not make it easy on him. Just play along with this farce and the people that I have put in play will protect you in my stead.' Itachi tells him and Naruto's head nods slightly so the others don't notice. Itachi turns slowly to look at his little brother who is now looking back at him with a wild look in his eyes.

"I've been wanting to say this to you…I've lived hating you…and also that I have lived only to kill you…I have lived for this!" Sasuke says while activating the Chidori in his hand.

"Chidori…?" Itachi says while looking at his beloved little brother. Sasuke starts running at his brother while the Chidori is tearing apart the wall next to Sasuke. Itachi knocks the attack from Sasuke's hand causing it to create a huge whole inside of the wall.

'This is bad! I need to do something…!' Naruto thought and she starts boosting up her Chakra causing the two to look at her.

'I see…her Chakra is filling the entire room. It's terrifying…This is the Chakra of the Nine-Tails…!' Kisame thought as he stares at the girl.

"This bastard…" Sasuke growls out.

"You're in the way…" Itachi says as the wrist he has grabbed snaps, causing the teen to cry out.

"Sasuke! Dammit!" She starts forming a skill most don't know she even uses.

"Too late!" Kisame says as he raises his sword.

'What the…!? I can't feel any…Chakra!?' Naruto panics. "Crap! Crap! What's going on!?" She wonders and Kisame looks at the girl with a grin on his face.

"My "Samehada"…eats up Chakra…!" Kisame tells her as he raises his sword a little. "Now that your Jutsu is gone, you shouldn't be any more trouble…First of all…should I chop off a leg or cut off an arm?" He asks as he raises his sword up to swing it at her. Naruto squeezes her eyes shut until she hears a clang and saw a battle geared frog standing in front of her.

"You don't seem to know very much about me…I'm better at getting girls than they are trying to get me. Even though it doesn't look like it. It's my…specialty." Jiraiya says behind Naruto with a smirk on his lips. "I, Jiraiya, this epitome of manliness! I will fall for no woman's feminine wiles! When you're someone like me, you'll only have to flash that sexiness to have women fall at your feet!" Everyone looks at him like he lost his marbles.

"Oh yeah? That girl just winked at ya and you were scampering after her! And now you're trying to look all cool and classy – you pervy Sennin!" Naruto growls out as she glares and points at the elder male.

"Hey! Can't you stop calling me that in front of others?" Jiraiya whines.

"Screw that! It's those guys over there we should be worrying about, Pervy Sennin!" Naruto says while Sasuke groans on the floor he fell to when Itachi laid a punch to his midriff.

"Hehe…so it's one of the legendary three Ninja's, the great Jiraiya, eh? You like beautiful women but we weren't thinking that such a simple method could successfully stall you anyway…" Kisame says while grinning his sharkish grin.

"You guys know the Pervy Sennin's "real" identity?!" Naruto looks at them.

"Er, not really, I wouldn't call that a "real" identity…" Jiraiya tells her.

"In any case, it seems you have already undone the Genjutsu binding the woman." Itachi says and Jiraiya sets the woman down on the floor, making sure she is leaning against the wall.

"You guys wanted to draw me away so you used the Sharingan to cast Genjutsu on the woman, huh? Not a very manly way of doing things." Jiraiya says as he stands up.

'"Draw him away…"?! Why would they…?' Naruto furrows her brows.

"So you really are after Naruto…" Naruto's eyes widen when she hears him say this.

"No wonder Kakashi knew about this…you were the source of information…. "To abduct Naruto"…Those were the orders given to us by the higher echelons of our organization, "Akatsuki"." They all stared from one to another until the frog protecting Naruto disappears.

"You won't get Naruto." Jiraiya says.

"And why not?" Itachi asks.

"Because right now, right here, you two will die by my hand." Jiraiya tells them with a deadly tone in his voice.

"Don't do it." Sasuke says while he shakily gets to his feet. "This guy…is mine!" He growls out.

'Sasuke…!' Naruto worries about him.

"I have absolutely no interest in you right now." Itachi says and in the blink of an eye he kicks him hard to hit the wall and slide down it, crying out.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yells out as Sasuke leans over to one side. "You assholes!"

"Naruto! I told you…don't!" Sasuke groans out, making Naruto stop and watch as the curse flares over Sasuke's arm.

'The seal is unraveling…' Itachi observes.

"This fight is mine." Sasuke growls out.

'Revenge huh…' Jiraiya thought as he watches the teen boy as Itachi starts walking towards him.

"Come on!" Sasuke shouts at his brother who in turn punches him again in his midriff. 'Wh…why…?' Sasuke leans over as pain fills him from the blow. Itachi takes his arm up and hits the back of Sasuke's head with his elbow, then brought his knee up to catch Sasuke's chin making the teen cry out again. Naruto watches and knows that she cannot do anything but hope that Itachi knows what he is doing. Itachi draws his fist back again to deal another hard blow to his brothers' torso. 'Even now…there's still such a gap between us…! Why is there so big a difference…?!' Sasuke wonders as blood spurts out of his mouth.

"No mercy at all…" Kisame says with a grin on his face and Naruto's eyes start turning red while her and the Kyuubi growl. They couldn't help it since they both love Sasuke so much.

'What have I been…doing all this time!?' Sasuke wonders as his body is now lying immobile on the floor. Itachi leans down and grabs him by the throat to hold him against the wall. 'What the hell…have I…' Itachi closes his eyes to not show Sasuke his pain at having to do this. He activates his Sharingan abilities and no one could tell what the teen was seeing. Suddenly Sasuke starts screaming out in pain.

"Itachi, I advise you against using your eye so many times in a single day…" Kisame warns him as Naruto continues to growl.

"Assholes!" Naruto shouts and starts to run to the brothers when Jiraiya starts weaving signs. Itachi pauses looking into his brother's eyes that are faded from all the horrors he had to show him. Naruto pauses as she saw the faraway look in his eyes. Suddenly the walls start forming into what looks like flesh.

"Ninjutsu – Toad Mouth Bind." Jiraiya activates it fully and Sasuke's body is grabbed by the wall, protecting him. "Too bad, Itachi…Kisame. You are already inside of my stomach!" Itachi analyzed his little brother.

"Why are you weak…still not enough…hatefulness…" He whispered to Sasuke.

"Black magic to summon the esophagus of the giant toad from Myouki Mountain, Rock Inn. You wanted criminals; hope you enjoy being food to Iwagama!" Jiraiya says while glaring at them.

"Wha…what the heck is going on here?" Naruto wonders.

"Naruto, stay still! Don't worry, it's just my Jutsu!" Jiraiya tells her.

"Kisame, come!" Itachi tells his partner.

"Shit!" The shark looking Ninja says while noticing his sword was engulfed by the stomach of the toad. He yanks it out to follow Itachi at a run.

"No one sneaks away without my awareness from here!" Jiraiya said while boosting the Jutsu with more Chakra. The walls start closing in around them.

'The walls of flesh come closing in…!' Kisame's eyes widen. "Those walls are swift…at this rate…" He tells Itachi who is running with his eyes closed. Jiraiya didn't like the fact that they are trying to run from him so both him and Naruto start to chase after them. Jiraiya stops to look around the corner.

"Why's this happening!?" Naruto asks and they stop to see a hole in the wall with black flames still lit from the Jutsu. "Ahh! They're gone!"

'This wall of flesh was surely torn apart by them…' Jiraiya glares as he looks out the hole.

"What's with this fire? I'd say it's black…" Naruto who is always inquisitive rummages in her bag while moving forward towards the flames.

"Don't stupidly move closer to it!" Jiraiya crabs at her and she looks at him with a stern look.

"Well, you want to study this right?" Naruto says while pulling out a scroll while Jiraiya does as well. "I'll just have a different way of storing some of these flames than you will." She opens the scroll and bites her fingertip to write her name on the scroll in her blood, popping a clay jar out that has the Uzumaki symbol on the side of it.

"A sealing jar?" Jiraiya says while watching the girl.

"Remember what family I come from, right?" She says as she sets it down in front of one side of the flames and looks at him over her shoulder. "You get the flames from the other side and I will make sure all of these are sealed." She does a quick series of signs that Jiraiya couldn't make out and he only figured that it was because she's practiced it so much that she could probably do it in her sleep. He looks down at the scroll in his hand.

'That guy, what on Earth did he draw out to create this? Besides that, what is this black flame? The flames were ignited from the inside of the Iwagama, which scorched its flesh.' He rolls the scroll out on the other side of Naruto and started writing out sealing spell. He looked up and saw Naruto looking down at what he was writing. "Alright! Sealing Jutsu! Seal fire highest rank!" The flames snake their way to the scroll unsteadily and sealed right onto it.

"Heh, a weak scroll sealing that will have to be undone in a hurry when we get home. There is a reason why my family uses jars to seal any items or objects. Because it is always an unstable seal when you use paper that can be destroyed easier than my clay jars." She snaps her fingers and the flames zip into her jar quicker than ever and a with a popping sound a lid is formed onto the top. "Got to love it." She chuckles as his eyes widen. "You might want to send that on to the village with a messenger toad. This kind of unknown fire will not be able to be sealed for long." She says and snaps her fingers for a fox to show up with a vest on. "Kuroichi, bring this to the research development in our district. I'm sure they will be interested to know that this is from an Uchiha Jutsu." Naruto tells the little fox who yips and runs off. She watches Jiraiya's sealing spell complete and him tie off the scroll.

"Alright! Well now, everyone okay after that? Sasuke?" He says as he looks at the girl and she runs over to her boyfriend.

"Sasuke!" She yells and Jiraiya stomps his feet to release his Jutsu, making the walls turn back to normal while Naruto catches Sasuke, who is just a shell of himself now. The two of them hear a Kunai hit the wall and with quick movements, Gai Sensei rushes in.

"Dynamic entry!" He yells as he starts attacking.

"Gai…?!" Jiraiya says while looking at the man. Gai's kick aimed straight for Jiraiya's face knocking the older male onto his ass. "You…didn't do it on purpose?" Jiraiya asked when he got up and stopped the bleeding on his nose.

"Huh?" Gai says when he notices who it was he attacked. "Oh no…sorry for the direct attack…I was in a rush with using my forehead protector as a mirror…and didn't mean it…haha…The forehead protector didn't give a clear enough picture, and so I hit your face by accident…"

"Well, that's alright then. Anyway, Sasuke needs to get to the hospital…he seems to have gotten a fractured rib…and for some reason, the Sharingan caused a mind attack to make him lose his senses." Jiraiya explains while Sasuke sits there like a doll.

'This child and that Jutsu is…' Gai thought as he looks down at the child that had the Jutsu used on him twice now.

"Pervert Sennin! Sasuke…is he going to be okay?" She asks with a worried look on her face.

"He took a tolerable amount of mental damage…" Jiraiya tells her and she grits her teeth while knowing that it could have been worse if Itachi really went all out on his brother.

"Damn it…what the hell! What did that guy do to Sasuke!?" She wonders since she doesn't have much knowledge of the Sharingan yet. "Pervert Sennin, what do you say! A change in plans…! Some time ago, it wouldn't mean anything…but not this time. Time to track down those "black mantle" men! I will take care of business with that guy! And since that's the case I'm going after him!" She growls out with her eyes turning red.

"Humph, you go after him right now and you'll be killed…that guy's on a whole different level. He came because of you…his distance is the only thing stopping him from…" Naruto interrupts him.

"Well! What kind of guy always escapes! Everyday being fearful, living in a nightmare!" She shouts at him.

"Shut up for a minute. You…are weak…" Jiraiya tells her. "Excuse me…Gai this child's feelings are understandable, but we still must quickly rescue Sasuke…"

"Now…Kakashi also has approximately the same Jutsu. He stays in bed until his senses return to normal." Gai says as he watches for any change in Sasuke.

"Kakashi Sensei!?" Naruto asks Gai.

"When students are injured…well, this time I think it's harmed his mind…medical care specialists should be around in case this should continue to happen…don't you think?" Gai asks Jiraiya.

"So…to go searching for that person." Jiraiya looks at Gai.

"That person…could it be…" Gai says.

"She is one of the three Nins like me. This will work as a payment for the illness…" Jiraiya said.

"Jiraiya-sama…Please find Tsunade-sama…and bring her back to us!" Gai said as he carried Sasuke on his back. They were parting at the entrance to the town they were in since they were all going separate ways.

"Don'tcha worry, we'll find her! Take care of Sasuke, Mr. Thickbrows!" Naruto says and Gai smiles at her.

"Well, Gai…we'll be leaving Sasuke in your care." Jiraiya says to him.

"Naruto…! You've got guts; I like kids like that! Here, I'm giving this to you!" Gai says while rummaging inside of his pack. "This is the reason why Lee is strong…"

"Eh? What? What?" Naruto asks.

"This!" He whips out the green suit that both he and Lee wear. "It's the ultimate, stream-lined, form-fitting, easily-accessible, perfectly-made bodysuit! Wear it while training and you'll "know" the difference! You'll never look back! Our Lee wears it 24/7, and of course, it is my most-beloved piece of Ninja must-have!"

"Cooooooool!" Naruto shouts out acting her gullible self.

"If you can walk around carrying that, why not carry a mirror instead… *sheesh.*" They both watch as Gai leaves and he tells Naruto. "You…you're not gonna walk around wearing that, are you…"

"It fits me, doesn't it…?" Naruto asks while holding it up. "Just kidding, I'm a girl and we do have standards."

"Good. Look at that "thing" you're holding, Naruto…It's a fashion faux pas." Jiraiya says while they continue on with their journey. As they get further away Naruto remembers what Itachi was telling her, causing her to walk slower as her mind wonders. "What is it?"

"Pervy Sennin…those guys…what are they after me for?" Naruto asks as her blue eyes look at him, filled with worry. "You know don'tcha…Pervy Sennin…"

"Those guys are not so much after you…as they are after what's inside you…" He tells her.

"They want Kyuubi…well that's not going to happen. This was the last and only thing that my father gave me before he died. I know she attacked Konoha but from what I gathered by seeing her memories it wasn't her fault. She was being controlled." She says.

"You know they think of the Kyuubi as a monster, right? One that has been appearing age after age…a monstrous demon, hell-bent on destruction. It was one of the disasters the people of old would fear…As for why those guys would want their hands on the Kyuubi…to be honest, I really don't know! But since you have the Kyuubi sealed within you, I s'pose they're trying to find a way to harness and control its powers…Those guys will keep on tryin' to get ya; it's a destiny you'll have to face up to…but when that happens, I'll be there to protect ya, so don't—" She interrupts him.

"And that is exactly why…I have to become stronger…!" She says with a grin on her face. "Okay…! Let's hurry up and find this Tsunade person! She'll fix Sasuke, and then we can finally start training!"

'Now that's Naruto fer ya…' Jiraiya thinks as he chuckles at her. She looks at him quizzically. "What?!"

"Is this "super babe" you were talking 'bout before…Tsunade…?" She asks.

"Oh, you've gotten sharper already…! Yep, it's her alright. What about it?" He asks her.

"Is she one of the ones, along with you, that people call the "Sennin"?" She asks.

"Yeah. So?" He looks at her.

"How old is she?" She asks.

"My age." He answers.

'She's ooooooold, then!' Naruto thought and she turns her big blue eyes to Jiraiya. "What's this Tsunade like?"

"Hm? You interested? Well, she's kinda annoying…she's a compulsive gambler, and well known in a lot of countries…" He thought of all of his teammates characteristics.

"Well, she'll be pretty easy to find then, if she's famous…!" Naruto says as they continue walking.

"Oh, yeah, she's famous alright…she's known as the legendary sucker. She's had the name "sucker" since a long time ago…! Back then, she was always borrowing money and then running away afterwards…ah, those were the days…" Jiraiya said while reminiscing.

"You miss those day?!" Naruto asks. "Well, how're we gonna find her then?"

"Since we're going by foot, there's all these ways of doing it…" Jiraiya says.

"Eeeehhhh? That means we don't know how long it's gonna take…!" Naruto whines.

"We don't have much time to spare. We'll be spending most of our time on our journey on you!" Jiraiya says while looking down on the blond pig-tailed girl.

"On me?" She asks.

"We're gonna power you up! It's training time!" He grins when her face turns to full on excitement.

"I'm ready!" She shouts and whips out the outfit that Gai got her.

"No no…you are not wearing that…I ain't gonna be seen dead in the company of someone wearing that…" He tells her.

"Come on Pervert Sennin! Let's get started with the training!" She says impatiently.

"Don't get too fired up…we still need to gather information about Tsunade. There is no point in training before we do so." He tells her as they continue travelling.

"Gather information?" She asks.

"This is the town." Jiraiya says while they approach the busy looking town, looking at it from the cliffs surrounding it.

"Woow!" She exclaims. "Uhwaa awesome. This is the first time I've seen something like this!"

"Have a good time doing whatever you want!" He tells her. "This will be a break before the training starts. Until the festival is over…we'll stay here for now and do the training here as well."

"Alright!" She cheers and rummages through her backpack. "Let's see…" She pulls out her frog shaped coin purse and cuddles with the almost busting frog.

"Oh…! Sure is a lump sum of money you have there! Just like a government official, no!" Jiraiya ogles her purse with dollar signs in his eyes.

"I have been saving up! It's a duty to have savings for a rainy day…" She giggles. "Later!" She starts running off planning on going on a shopping spree.

"Hang on! Naruto!" She stops and looks at him over her shoulder. "I'll keep those savings for you! This is all that you can spend…" He hands her a few bills from the purse he snatched out of her hands.

"Eh…only 30 bucks?!" She complains since it is her money.

"Don't "eh" with me! There are "three sins" that Shinobi is forbidden to do. You should have known this!" He tells her.

""Three sins"? So what the heck is it?" She asks.

"What! There's no way you don't know! The "three sins" are things that a Shinobi must avoid. These are three things to stay away from! The three vices I will point out are alcohol, women, and money." He tells her with his face oh so serious.

"Is that it? Not interested in those! I'm not even 20 years old. No alcohol for me! I don't even understand this interest in women since I'm a female." She looks at him wryly. "You don't have to worry about me using my savings that way."

"You brainless idiot! Don't say something that stupid about money. You'll waste all of it right away! The power of money is a very dangerous thing! This is why we're looking for "her"…its already messed up her life!" He tells her.

'But doesn't Pervert Sennin have the hots for women?!' She wonders looking at him with her arms crossed.

"Don't change the subject! I'll take your luggage and here's my bag in case you get lost and the toads can track you if needed. I'll collect the information about Tsunade." Jiraiya smiles as Naruto sticks her tongue out at him while running off.

Naruto ends up having a blast even though she couldn't go and spend the money she was saving the way she wanted. 30 bucks was never enough to go and buy her scrolls and ceremonial clay to make her clay pots. Not counting she couldn't buy any new clothes that she was hoping to get while on the journey. She did catch her a fish though, couldn't use Jutsu to do it like one guy was trying. She laughed at him since she caught her little fish the first try and just because one of the little boys were trying it and never got one she was nice enough to give it to him.

She enjoyed herself on getting her something to munch on then played some games and grabbed her some candy when her sweet tooth acted up. She found a fox mask that made her and Kyuubi laugh, until she trips over a rock and falls over. "Oooow!" She cries out.

"If you walk with a mask on, watch out where you're stepping. It's dangerous, you know." The mask vender tells her and she noticed she dropped some of the pervy sage's stuff and started picking them up. She came across his bank book and opened it up.

"Pervert Sennin's bank book, huh…" She looked at the numbers and her eyes widen. 'Zeroes and a lot of them too!' She sighs and puts everything back into the bag. "He can buy whatever he wants with this! What a cheap bastard! Let's see how much is left…Now for the next store. It's almost gone…" She sighs while looking at the small change she has in her hands. She then thinks about the old man saying she will be strong in no time. "Hey mister! Get me this type of squid cut in pieces!"

"Yes! I'll give boss the really good one! I'll give you a small one free of charge! Pick one!" The vender tells her as she reminds him of his little girl when she was her age.

"You're cool, mister! My type of guy! Oh! I know what I want! Alright, I'll have half of the adult one!" She tells him and leaves the stand to walk around while eating her squid. "Now what…where should I go!" She pauses as she hears a loud laughter. 'Ah! It's Pervy Sage's voice!' She peeks into the tavern where she heard it from.

"What nice young ladies you girls are…!" He cackles as he has his arms around two beautiful girls and his voice is a little slurred. "Ohh…Naruto! Heh. How'd it go at the festival?" He asks her and the girl is looking a little green at the fact that her frog purse is now a deflated husk of its original shape.

"What's the point of telling me about three sins of a Shinobi! You're the one in trouble by breaking them! My savings that I saved, money to use! What the hell is this?! What about the training!" She shouts as she is about to attack him with the squid that she just bought.

"N…Naruto calm down…This is a misunderstanding. L…listen!" He hurriedly tries to calm her down and she throws a squid at him only for it to bounce off of him and hit a man in a white coat.

"Look what you did! What are you going to do about this, you stupid brat!" The man's partner yells at her and she turns her head in shock to look at them. "You put a stain on Akoki's designer suit! An expensive type of clothing! You better compensate us for this! Give me $100,000 for it!"

"That suit is worth $100,000?!" Naruto flips out as she has never spent even that much at once.

"Even if it was that type of designer suit and costs $100,000, it still looks pretty dang cheap…" Jiraiya says while looking at them wryly.

"What did you say, ya bastard?! Cheap?! You better not mess with us. For your sake! Akoki is a former Chuunin from the Stone Village. He's a legendary Yami-nin and someone to be afraid of. An incredibly skilled Ninja!" His bald partner tells them.

"Ah? Legendary…you say?" Jiraiya says and stands up.

"I'll show you what pain really is!" Akoki shouts.

"Naruto…now…pay close attention…as I'll show you a Jutsu you'll be learning how to do. Take a good look." Jiraiya tells her and a ball of Chakra spinning rapidly forms in the man's palm. He grips the ball and attacks Akoki with it. The man cries out as his body suddenly flies off spinning only to land in someone's stand breaking it.

"Coo…cool!" Naruto says with a huge smile on her face. When a balloon flies towards them Jiraiya caught it and looks down at it. He caught the man's wallet as well and took money out of it.

"This is a victory fee I'll be taking. Sorry about this…Looks like your cart's broken to bits…" Jiraiya says to the owner of the cart.

"Ju…just what did you do…" Akoki asks him while lying down on the dirt with water balloons surrounding him.

"I just saved you…you guys are weak, you know." He tells him and turns to the owner. "Old man! Here's the payment for the damages and for all the water balloons."

"I don't really mind…" The man tells him.

'Just now in the palm of his hand…what the heck happened?! That Jutsu…?!' Naruto wonders.

"Naruto! Let's get going! Time for training!" Jiraiya tells her.

"Yeah!" She smiles.

"I can really feel the training tension!" Naruto says with excitement as they are now outside of the village in an area that will be great for her to train.

"Here you go! It's a water balloon!" Jiraiya says and tosses it to her.

"Huh?! What's up with this thing?" Naruto says after she catches the balloon and moves it around in her hands.

"Did you pay attention to the Jutsu I just did?" He asks her.

"Yep!" She says.

"What did you see in the Jutsu?" He asks.

"Hmm somehow…those guys were spinning around wildly…" Naruto says as she thought of what she saw.

"From a normal point of view, it would seem that way…that's right…they spun, alright!" Jiraiya said and held up a balloon that started wiggling in his hand.

'Something's beginning to move in his hand…the water inside the balloon is spinning?!' The spinning motion of the balloon made it pop.

"With this "tree climbing" type of Chakra, your Chakra level must be maintained by focusing your mind and keeping that concentration.
