~Naruto's POV~

Being here and learning about Sasuke's older brother and Tenshi's little sister was news to me. Of course I knew Tenshi has a little sister, but she was supposed to be dead, what I didn't know is Sasuke has an elder brother. I was watching Tenshi fight her sister, who was only eleven years old and is practically at the same level as Tenshi. I mean, she can do the same Jutsus as Tenshi and she told those where practically Anbu level. Tenshi was on the ground all cut up and bloodied. I could see she was in pain and so was Tori. Tori fainted and was separated from Mamoru. Now we're standing in what Pervy Sage said was his stomach.

"Black magic to summon the esophagus of the giant toad from Myouki Mountain, Rock Inn. You unwanted criminals, hope you enjoy being food to Iwagama!" Pervy Sage told them with a smirk.

"Wha-? What the heck is going on here?" I asked.

"Naruto, stay still! Don't worry it's just Jiraiya's Jutsu," Auntie Kenmei told me. I looked at her and nodded.

"Kisame! Grab Tori and Mamoru, let's go!" Itachi ordered. Kisame grabbed them and they ran.

"No one sneaks away without my awareness from here!" Pervy Sage told them. But they ended up making out the one wall by making a hole. Pervy Sage did a Sealing Jutsu on the hole and then made the hall way turn back to normal. I ran over to Sasuke, he looked like there was no life in his eyes. I looked at Tenshi, she and Tamotsu were in their normal forms now, but they still looked really beat up. Auntie Kenmei picked Tenshi up and brought her over to Sasuke. Tamotsu was still able to walk over, he didn't look as bad as Tenshi. I looked at him.

"What's wrong with Sasuke?" I asked him.

"Itachi used a horrible Genjutsu on him, showing him things he didn't like in his past up until the massacre. He's taken a tolerable amount of mental damage," Tamotsu told me. We looked at Tenshi, we was out cold. That's when a kunai came in and Guy-Sensei kicked Pervy Sage. We told Guy-Sensei everything that happened. I looked at Tenshi and Sasuke. I'm going to get Itachi and Tori for this. Hurting their own siblings, nearly killing them! It's despicable! Pervy Sage told me I couldn't do it yet, I was still weak yet. I was angry at that, but I knew he was right. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to see Auntie Kenmei with a sad smile.

"Naruto, you may be weak right now, but you will eventually become stronger. The thing is, the ninja in the Akatsuki are a lot stronger than you, even stronger than Tenshi and you've seen what she can do," she told me. We looked at Tenshi and I knew that Auntie Kenmei was right. I placed my hand on top of the one she had on my shoulder. I was worried about Tenshi and Sasuke, and the fact that the Akatsuki were after me and Tenshi, Auntie Kenmei could see that. She let her hand drop and then pulled me in a hug causing me to hug her back. "We'll keep you both safe, I'm not about to let someone take away my niece and nephew. I promise you, Naruto, we aren't going to let anything happen to either of you," she told me. I nodded. Guy-Sensei carried Sasuke on his back while Tamotsu carried Tenshi. Auntie Kenmei bent down and gave Tenshi and Tamotsu a kiss on the forehead. "Keep her safe, Tamotsu, I already know she'll keep you safe," she told him. Tamotsu nodded. She then went to Sasuke and did the same to him. "We'll see you soon, Sasuke, be then you'll be healed," she promised him. Auntie Kenmei came back over by me and placed an arm around me shoulders. I could see she was hurting a lot seeing them like this, she thought of us as her own. Of course she would be hurt. As Guy-Sensei got ready to leave, he gave me a green suit like his and Lee's. Pervy Sage kept telling that I was never going to wear it, Auntie Kenmei just laughed at us bickering. We then started the journey to find Tsunade. I kept thinking, is she really as old as Pervy Sage and Auntie Kenmei? I looked at Auntie Kenmei.

"Auntie Kenmei?" I asked getting her attention. She looked at me and gave me a soft smile.

"Yes, Naruto?" She asked me. I scratched my head.

"Are you and Pervy Sage really the same age?" I asked. She laughed a little bit and nodded.

"Yes, why do you ask?" She asked me.

"Well, you look younger compared to him, will this Tsunade lady be the same?" I asked her.

"I haven't seen Tsunade in about ten years, but last time I saw her, she was still as beautiful as the day we met, of course we were thirteen then," she told me. She then looked down with a sad look and sighed. I grabbed her hand giving her a worried look, she gave me a small smile and a gentle squeeze in my hand. "Tsunade, like me, was close with Tenshi's mother, I'm not sure she knows about Tenshi's village, if not….she's going to be really heartbroken," she told me.

"H-how close were they?" I asked her. She looked at me and sighed.

"Tsunade is Tenshi's grandmother," she told me. My eye's widened. "Yuki, Tenshi's mother, looks like Tsunade but with brown hair and purple/blue eyes. She got those traits from her father," she told me. This Tsunade lady is Tenshi's grandmother, does she know that? Most likely, it's weird, the people Tenshi considers family are from outside of her village while the people in her village hated her. We walked a little more and reached a town.

"This is the town," Pervy Sage told me.

~Kenmei's POV~

Telling Naruto about Tenshi and Tsunade was a little hard, but I felt that he had the right to know. I watched as Naruto looking excitedly over the town, we made our way down, it looked like a festival was going on. The kids were running around with treats and balloons and there were games everywhere.

"This is awesome! This is the first time I've seen something like this!" Naruto said excitedly, I couldn't help but laugh at his excitement.

"Have a good time doing whatever you want, this will be a break before training starts. Until the festival is over, we'll stay here for now and do the training here as well," Jiraiya told him.

"Alright!" Naruto cheered. I could see that Jiraiya liked seeing him like this just as much as I did. Naruto needs like this once in a while without people glaring at him for having a demon inside him. It's good for him to actually feel free with no worry. Naruto then went through his bag and pulled out a frog wallet that was stuffed with money. Jiraiya took his wallet and told Naruto not to spend it, instead, he gave him some of his own money, but it was only thirty bucks…cheapskate! Jiraiya even gave him a lecture on money that even he should follow himself. Jiraiya looked at me.

"Are you going to come with me?" He asked me. I shook my head.

"I know you, you'll be 'researching', so no thanks! But I also want to spend time with Naruto," I told him. He nodded in understanding and smiled. I walked off with Naruto, we played games and ate food. He was looking at a mask, they were Anbu masks, and he was looking at one in particular but saw he didn't have enough money. I looked at the shopkeeper.

"How much for this mask?" I asked him. He looked at it.

"Ten dollars ma'am," he told me. I nodded and gave the money as he hand me the mask. I put on the mask and looked at Naruto. I tipped my head to left.

"How do I look?" I asked jokingly making him laugh a little.

"Pretty cool!" He told me. I took the mask off and shook my head. I then put the mask on Naruto.

"I think it looks a whole lot cooler on you. I bought it for you anyway," I told him. He took the mask off and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Y-you really bought it for m-me?" He stuttered. I nodded and ruffled his hair.

"Of course, I saw that you liked it," I told him.

"I'll make sure to pay you back!" He told me. I shook my head.

"It's a gift, Naruto, I wanted to buy that for you so don't even think about paying back," I said to him. He smiled at me with tears in his eyes, he then hugged me around my waist considering he only reaches a little below my shoulder.

"No one's ever bought me a gift before, thank you, Auntie Kenmei," he said to me. I smiled as I hugged him back and kissed his forehead.

"Of course, sweetheart. Now, let's go get a snack," I said to him. He nodded and we went to a stand where they had grilled squid. "How about we get one for Jiraiya too? He might want one," it old him.

"True, okay, we'll get him a big one, I want to say thanks that he'll be training me!" Naruto grinned. I nodded and paid for three grilled squid. We started walking back to the Inn we were staying at until we heard Jiraiya's laugh. I know that laugh…he is so going to get it! We walked in and saw to girls by him. I saw Naruto's frog wallet on the table…it was empty and he threw Jiraiya's grilled squid. Be for Naruto could attack him, I stopped him.

"Naruto, let me handle this one," I said to him. He nodded at me. I walked up to Jiraiya and glared with a smirk on my face. "Jiraiya, mind explaining what's going on before I kill you?" I asked him. He started shaking his drunken ass off. I looked that the girls. "You two might want to leave before I hurt you too," I said to them. They nodded and ran off. I pulled Jiraiya up by his collar and gave him an icy glared. "Talk now, Frog Boy!" I growled.

"I used Naruto's money and bought drinks and invited the girls over! I'm sorry!" He shouted. I summoned enough chakra into my fist and punched him. He went crashing into the wall. "I said I was sorry," he whimpered.

"'Sorry's' not going to cut it this time," I said to him.

"Hey! What are you going to do about this you dumb brat?!" A man shouted at Naruto. When Naruto threw the squid it accidently landed on someone's white jacket. They started telling Jiraiya and I to pay a hundred thousand dollars for it. When we said we weren't going to they started throwing punches.

"Naruto, pay close attention, you'll be learning this Jutsu too," Jiraiya told him. Jiraiya performed the Rasengan getting rid of the two white coated men. I walked up to the owner of the place and gave him some money.

"This is money for the damages and the water balloons, I'm sorry we caused such a ruckus, sir," I said to him. He said it was fine and we grabbed some water balloons. We went to a field so Jiraiya could start training Naruto the Rasengan Jutsu. Turns out it was only a lecture. We went back to the hotel so we could rest. Naruto was in the shower and Jiraiya came up to me as I was reading.

"Are you still upset about before?" He asked me. I glared at him. "Okay, you're still mad at me. Look, I'm sorry that I made you upset," he said to me. Doesn't this asshole know how I feel about him?! Dammit!

"Whatever, you're completely oblivious," I said to him as I went back to reading my book.

"Oblivious to what, Mei?" He asked me. I sighed and shook my head.

"Forget it," I said to him. He took my book away.

"No, Kenmei! What is going on with you?" He asked me. I went to stand up but he grabbed my wrists and stopped me. I pounded my wrists on his chest.

"Let go!" I shouted at him.

"Kenmei, tell me what's wrong?" He asked me. I stopped hitting him and felt tears in my eyes. I rest my head on his chest.

"I love you, you idiot," I whimpered to him.

~Jiraiya's POV~

My eye's widened at her confession. She loves me? I couldn't help but smile, I've loved her since we were at the academy and now she's confessing to me! I was only with all those women to get my mind of her. I didn't think she felt the same way.

FLASHBACK

I was sitting in my desk waiting for Sensei to show up and announce our teams, that's when the door opened, I looked over and saw her…Kenmei Kariudo; she was beautiful! Her long brown hair was in a half ponytail while her bangs framed her face, revealing her beautiful sky blue eyes. She saw me and ran up to me.

"Hey, Jiraiya," she said to me in her soft voice. I blushed and smiled back.

"Hey, Kenmei, who are you hoping to have on your team?" I asked her. She tapped her chin and sat next to me.

"I was think you, Tsunade, and Orochimaru," she smiled at me. I smiled back. "All three of you are so nice to me, and there's bound to be a four man team, I hope it's us," she said to me. Turns out she got her wish and she hugged me making me blush furiously. And during the bell test with Sarutobi-Sensei, she helped me out a lot. After seven years of training and being on missions together, we grew closer, I couldn't tell her how I felt; I mean, she likes Orochimaru, they've been going out since we were Genin. He was lucky, Kenmei was the most beautiful girl in the village, she always wears her hair down now, and she wears a blue dress when out of her Jounin outfit. We were walking around town since it was our day off from Jounin work. "Hey, Raiya, do you ever wonder what life would be like if we didn't meet?" She asked me. I scratched my head thinking about, I then sighed with a small smile on my face.

"I think I would be a terrible wreck without you, Mei," I said to her. She smiled at me and hugged me. I hugged her back with a small blush, I then saw Orochimaru glaring at me. I glared back. Okay, he knows I like Mei as more than just a friend, but he could lay off and let me at least treat her like she's my best friend! He cleared his throat and Mei turned to see him. She smiled and ran over to him, he caught her in his arms and kissed her. I then heard glass breaking…oh wait that was my heart.

"Maru! I've missed you, when did you get back?" She asked him. He chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"Just now, I missed you too, Ken. What were you up to?" He asked her.

"Oh, Raiya and I were just hanging out," she told him. She turned to me. "Raiya, would you like to join us for dinner?" She asked me. Orochimaru glared at me but I smiled at her. I shook my head.

"Go on, spend time with your fiancée, I'm going to train a little bit," I told her. She nodded at me. Yes, they were getting married! That made me feel worse, but if she's happy, that's all that matters to me. I wish I could tell her how I feel, but now that she's with him, I'll never be able to.

FLASHBACK END

Thinking about that, not being able to tell her all those years ago hurt me. But when Orochimaru left, it hurt her, worse, when he kidnapped her and raped her, she was heartbroken. She wasn't the same Kenmei I knew, she was broken completely. I held Mei close me.

"I love you too, Mei. I have for a long time now," I told her. Her breathing hitched and she looked at me.

"How long?" She asked me. I sighed and looked down but she lift my chin up softly so I would look into her eyes. "How long, Raiya?" She asked me.

"Since we were in the academy," I told her. I looked away and let her go as she stood there shocked. When she snapped back she looked at me.

"Even when I was with…" she couldn't finish her sentence, but I nodded.

"Yeah, it broke my heart to see you with him, but I wanted you to be happy. When he left, I saw how hurt you were and when he did all that stuff to you, it hurt me even more when I saw how broken you were," I said to her. I felt her hands on my chest as she hugged me from behind, her head laying against my back.

"I'm so sorry, Raiya. I liked you then too, but I didn't think you felt the same way, believe it or not, I had a crush on both you and him, but when I thought you didn't feel the same way, I thought he was the one…I was so wrong," she cried. I held her hands in mine, I couldn't take it anymore, and I turned around and kissed her. She was surprised at first, but then kissed back. I licked her bottom lip to ask to for entrance and she granted it. We kept kissing until we needed air. I rest my forehead on hers as I wiped the tears away with my thumbs. She was giving me a smile and I smiled back at her, kissed her forehead and walked over to the bed matts, I laid down and she laid down with me, snuggling into my chest, I held her in my arms as we fell asleep.

~Naruto's POV~

I had just heard Pervy Sage and Auntie Kenmei's conversation about their confessions. I couldn't believe it! They've liked each other since they were my age…but who was this guy Auntie Kenmei was with before? I'll have to ask her tomorrow. I walked out of the bathroom and went to my bed matt to sleep.
