Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; if I did Kisame would have a lot more battle scenes.

Previously in Vice Versa: A Naruto Tale--

"Sorry Naruto-kun but this is your last fight." said Kabuto.

"You wish four-eyes. Wind Style: Pressure Damage Jutsu." Yelled Naruto as a huge gust of air pushed down on Kabuto.

"Know to finish him off," said Naruto. "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu." said Naruto as he watched Kabuto's body burn, but unlike Orochimaru's it was the real body.

Time Skip 1 year-

"Jiraiya-sensei where are we going?" asked an 18 year-old Naruto.

"We're going to Iwa no Kuni (Land of the Stones)." Jiraiya replied.

"Why?"

"I helped out a man a few years back and his brother lives there. I figure he could train you in kenjutsu (sword fighting).

"But Jiraiya-sensei you're already teaching me kenjutsu, plus you promised four years of training and you've only given me two."

"Ok first I only know a limited amount about kenjutsu and this guy is a master, secondly after you complete two years of training then I will be back to complete your training with me."

As the two walked down the street Jiraiya looked at Naruto. The boy had changed in the past two years, mainly the fashion since he had ditched the color orange. He now wore a sleeveless black t-shirt tucked into tan pants. He also wore black boots with spikes on the front. He had on a black belt and had on fingerless gloves (so pretty much I just described Ginta's outfit from Mar, you know the ones he got from jack,). To top it all off Naruto had a long katana sheathed on his back. Nothing special it, just an ordinary katana.

"Hey Jiraiya-sensei."

"What?"

"We're here."

Indeed they were. In front of them sat a huge rock wall covered in spikes and loaded with traps. The wall was well known around the world as the Great Rock Wall. It surrounded the entire country.

"Please state purpose of entry and home village." Asked a rough looking guard.

"We are here to go see an old friend of mine in the village hidden in the rocks. We have no home village." replied Jiraiya.

"What is the name of this man?" asked the guard, "I was born in the village hidden in the rocks so I may know him."

"I'm sure you do he goes by the name of Ryo Simaki."

"Ryo Simaki!? The kenjutsu master?"

"The very same."

"Well, a friend of Ryo's is a friend of mine, go ahead." Said the Guard

"Thank you." Replied Jiraiya

After a few days of walking Jiraiya and Naruto stumbled across the Village Hidden in the Rocks, which seemed to be surrounded by a range of mountains called the Pantesul Mountains. They entered the village without a problem and began to make their way towards Ryo's house.

As they headed further into the village the worse it seemed to get. The houses were going from nice to ok, to torn up. Finally Jiraiya stopped at a 2 story brown house. It had two windows on the top layer and two on the bottom. It had a front porch with the railings torn. A young girls laughing could be heard from the street. Jiraiya walked up to the front door and knocked three times. The girl answered.

'Hello." She said

"Hello." Said Jiraiya, "Is Ryo here?"

'Yeah he is." She said," I'll go get him."

The two waited at the front door until a man walked out. He had black hair that was sticking out of the sides of his bandana he was wearing. On it was the symbol of Iwa. He had on a chuunin's vest and the normal under jumpsuit. On his back was a long katana.

'Hello Jiraiya-sama long time no see." The man said.

"Hello Ryo how have you been?"

"I've been better. Anyway what do you need?"

"Well I need to take up that favor your brother owes me. I need you to teach my student kenjutsu."

"Well I owe my brother a favor so ok." said Ryo.

"Great!" said Jiraiya," His name is Naruto."

"Nice to meet you Naruto." Said Ryo.

'Nice to meet you to." replied Naruto.

'By the way Ryo who was the girl, I didn't know you had kids." said Jiraiya.

"Oh, she's not mine. Her name is Yuki and she is the sole survivor of the Uzumaki clan."

A.N- Sweet I'm finally done. I wanted to end this one with a cliffhanger. Anyways Yuki plays a HUGE role in Naruto's change over the years. Also Jiraiya will be coming back soon.

Ranting Corner:

WARNING SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT.

Well, this week I really don't have anything to rant about, except for chapter 365. I would have to say that I had no Idea that Sasuke had absorbed Orochimaru's powers, I thought he had just gone and killed him. Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this but still. Alsoo why the hell does Itachi keep on bumping into Naruto, I whant Naruto to fight Pein already jeez. Anyways see ya next time.
