Memo

Hey there again. Time for number two, woot! Just to mention that this new character's personality is a bit random. She's usually quite inward and kind, but also has a loud and brash side that usually falls into play when Jiraiya is around, hehe. Enjoy!!

Chapter 2: The Good, The Daft and The Perverted!

"What's with the great, big frog? Who are you two?"
The volume of Naruto's voice immediately stopped the fight between Jiraiya and Kianna and they both gave him annoyed, confused looks. For once, Naruto did not feel like being the centre of attention under those two powerful gazes. Jiraiya suddenly smiled and struck a powerful pose on his frog,
"Thank You for asking...I am the Frog Hermit!!"
"Hermit?"
"Correct."
Naruto noticed the woman hadn't said anything and stood motionless next to the 'The Frog Hermit' shaking slight with rage. She suddenly burst, shouting at the Sennin,
"Stop showing off Ero-sennin!"
Jiraiya was about to retaliate, but was interrupted by a certain blonde boy
"Hey, hey Ero-Sennin."
"Gah! Now he's calling me an Ero-sennin. You're a bad influence Kianna!"
Naruto looked back at Ebisu. Without that annoying closet pervert, he didn't have a trainer. However, he did have somebody that was stronger.
"Hey you, Ero-sennin." Naruto yelled "You knocked Ebisu out cold. He was meant to supervise my training. What am I going to do now?"
"Don't ask me...It's his own fault. He interfered with my data gathering."
Kianna snorted and opened her mouth to unleash a sarcastic comment, but was beaten by Naruto
"Data Gathering?"
"Why yes, I'm a writer you see." Jiraiya unleashed a book 'Flirting Paradise' and Naruto instantly recognised it as Kakashi's 'special' book
"It's..."
"Ah so you recognise it. I never knew it was so famous!" Jiraiya smirked and Kianna scowled beside him, muttering profanities under her breath.
"That's a naughty novel" Naruto exclaimed "You're just using it as an excuse to spy in the lady's bath"
Loud screams were heard from behind, meaning that Naruto's thunderous voice had carried to the women's bath.
"Ahhh!! Baka, baka, baka, baka, baka!" Jiraiya screamed tears running down his face.
"You shouldn't have been peeking, pervert!"
"Idiot! I am not ordinary pervert. I need to peek to get inspiration for my novels."
"That's just an excuse; anyway, what are you going to do about my training?"

"Training? What, the walking on water exercise?" Jiraiya enquired

"You-you saw me?" Naruto stated in surprised, "Well, you crushed my teacher, you at least should teach me how to do it."

"Go away and stop bothering me, kid. I have some research to do..."

"But it's your responsibility to teach me..."

"Not on your life!!" Was Jiraiya's deafening reply, casting another theatrical pose."I could never teach somebody who had no appreciation for the arts."

"You taught me..." Kianna mutter under her breath, getting a nasty look from Jiraiya.

"Well..." Naruto begin, forcing a fake smile on his face, making him look constipated, "I thought-I thought your book was really good and..."

"Liar!" Jiraiya interrupted, "The sale of that book is restricted to anyone below the age of eighteen. Do you think you could fool me, a gallant toad hermit? I must be off, Farewell Kid!" Jiraiya made a dramatic exit jumping onto the bath's roof and leaping away.

"He's such a drama queen." Kianna groaned. Naruto yelped in surprise. All throughout his argument with Jiraiya she had stayed very quiet and now she stood there, her expression one of pure aggravation. It quickly changed though as she smiled warmly at Naruto. He instantly began to like this lady.
"Come on" She told him "I'll help you find him and I'll promise to make him train you!"

As Naruto walked along with the stranger he realised something.
"Hey, I don't know your name yet!"
"Oh it's Kianna...Uchiha Kianna!"
"UCHIHA"
Kianna gave him a quizzical look at his melodramatic reaction
"Yes, what's wrong with being an Uchiha?"
Naruto didn't answer straight away. Now that he looked at her, she didn't resemble Sasuke in any way at all. Her eyes were warm and caring, unlike Sasukes, and her personality, although when with that Ero-sennin seemed permanently ticked-off, now was caring and sincere.
"Oh it's nothing" He finally answered. "It's just, I know someone with that name, Uchiha Sasuke, you're not related to him are you?" He said the last part with a grimace.
"Ah Sasuke, yes I think I remember him. Oh no, I'm not related to him, just from the same clan. You're Uzumaki Naruto aren't you?"
"How'd you know that?!"
She didn't answer just chuckled at his reaction.

"Do you know where to look for that Ero-sennin?" Naruto asked Kianna. A doubting look upon his face.
"Oh yeah, I know alright." Her warm expression again turning into one of pure annoyance. This confused Naruto, she seemed like such a nice person but when the Ero-sennin was mentioned her expression and demeanor changed completely.
"How do you know Ero-sennin? And why do you act completely different around him?" Naruto demanded in his direct manner,
"He's my sensei actually, but I kinda just travel around with him now. I've learnt what I can from him. I guess I can express myself around him properly 'cos I've known him for so long. He ticks me off though, with his stupid obsession!"
"If it ticks you off so much, why do you put up with it? Why don't you leave?"
"Well...It's not that simple. He's not like that all the time and well..."Her expression became somber "Hes...hes helped me through some hard times and well...kinda saved me from the darkness." She mumbled the last part making it impossible to understand. She decided it was time to change the subject.
"Ah! We're getting close."
Naruto could hear the faint rumblings of a town in the distance!

It didn't take long for Kianna and Naruto to find Jiraiya. His lecherous antics had become the talk of this small town. After a lot of pratting about, mostly done by Naruto and Jiyaira with Kianna fuming in the distance, Naruto managed to strike a deal! If that's what you'd call it...
"I want a juicy fruit that has matured well and looks like this."
Jiyaira made a pear shape with his hands with a lecherous look on his face. Of course, Naruto took this very literacy and sought out to find this 'juicy fruit' and didn't give Jiyaira what he particularly wanted. Kianna found this all very hilarious, didn't bother to hide it and laughed quite loudly. Until Jiyaira threw the curvaceous fruit at her head, after cutting it into tiny bits. After this incident, Jiyaira said he would never take Naruto, but after a little persuasion/nagging from Kianna he gladly took him and a peek of the harem technique may have helped too!

Note: That's the end of this one...Sorry if I may have confused you with my mixed American/English spellings of words if there are any, word won't revert back to English spell check for some reason and it's confusing me!! Also, if I use any slang words (I have a habit of adding them in when I'm writing sometimes) that you don't quite understand please tell me and I'll tell you what they mean. Toodles XX.
