Love Hina: Myriad Adventures
Chapter 5: Friends, Family, and Frogs
Standing at the foot of the dorm stood, Jiraya, Master Sanin and mountain toad sage.
"So, Gamabunta are you sure this is the place." Jiraya said in disbelief.
"Blowing a smoke ring the thirty foot toad responded.
"Yeah this is where Naruto said the Kage of a village should be. He is living here until he feels ready to take up his responsibilities.
The third companion was a ten foot bull frog.
"Gama…you and Jiraya. Should go in and find the Kage." Gamabunta said.
The two set off as Gamabunta waited outside. Up in the laundry area was the said Kage, Keisuke Natoshima-Urashima, Was teaching his daughter and nephew how to complete the substitution jutsu.
"Dad do we have to do this?" Seven year old Mei whined.
"Yes, being the daughter and Nephew of a Kage points you as targets. Plus I want to make sure you have skills. Be grateful Motoko isn't here to force you to take her training of Hell."
"But she's can't do much since she's gone." Keitoru sighed.
"No excuses……NOW!" Keisuke threw two kunai at the kids. Mei quickly was replaced by a log, but Keitoru was slower, so he got nicked by the blade, before getting replaced by a log.
"Keitoru," Keisuke smiled as he helped him up.
"You're getting better but you need to focus, and work harder. Look how far your father got when he tried."
"Yeah but he had mom's help."
"Yeah you're right."
"I'll try harder…" Keitoru bowed before him and his cousin ran off to watch TV.
Akiko and Naru were relaxing in the hot springs.
"It's so nice to relaxing after a long day of housework." Naru sighed.
"You said it!" Akiko laughed.
Keitaro whimpered as he soaked in his dinky tub.
"I hate this tub. Naru's still being cruel."
"I heard that, Perv!" Naru roared.
Jiraya and Gama heard the yell of pain as Naru threw a statue at Keitaro, but took no notice.
"Hmm…I see they have hot springs."
Smiling evilly he continued
"They must have gorgeous babes that live here, since it's a girl's dorm, that Kage is so lucky."
Jiraya began having fantasies of the girls, wearing only towels piling against him.
'Oh Jiraya we love you.'
Ki walked over to the two.
"Bark."
Jiraya woke up from his trance.
"Scat."
Ki blasted a fire ball at him.
Dodging it he yelled
"Gama now."
The frogs tongue whipped Ki away. Jiraya entered the bath.
"Bring on the ladies."
As he stepped in Naru yelled
"Pervert you're not Keitaro." Naru ran up and punched Jiraya, who was sent reeling.
"Wow you really pack a punch."
Pinning him Naru yelled.
"Pervert, who are you, and what are you doing?"
Jiraya laughed.
"I am Jiraya, Master Sanin, and master mountain toad sage. I am here to see Keisuke Natoshima. But I could always be here to see you?"
"Ugh…sicko you're like sixty years plus we're both already married." Naru yelled
Keisuke jumped down into the bath.
"Old man Leave no before I am forced to hurt you."
"Kid what could you do to me?" Jiraya laughed as Keisuke ran forward kicking Jiraya into the door.
"Good kid but not good enough." Jiraya disappeared and was replaced with a statue. Looking behind him, Keisuke threw his super heated katana at the area where Jiraya was hiding.
"I told you old man don't tempt a Kage."
Jiraya fell over.
"You're the Kage!"
"What do you have a problem with that Old man?" Keisuke said slightly annoyed.
"No," Jiraya sighed
"I just thought you'd be older that's all."
So after the girls got dressed the two ninja began to talk.
"So Jiraya, why did Hokage Naruto send you here?"
"Well he wanted to make sure you were still allies with the Leaf village."
He stopped
"Is it ok to go to the bathroom."
"Sure."
Jiraya clicked his tongue at Naru.
"See you later sweet cheeks."
"Ugh…"
After returning Jiraya seemed different.
"So why does Naruto need to know if we're still allies?"
"Well," Jiraya sighed.
"Gamabunta bring the scroll please."
Smoke blew in as the toads tongue rolled the scroll next to Jiraya. Keisuke began to read the note.
"Oh dear, it says the Sand village is in danger and needs our help."
Naru had made a pot of tea. Serving it she said
"But what does that mean for you?"
Jiraya became more angry and interjected
"It means that Keisuke needs to hand over his weapons."
Naru slammed the pot onto the head of the supposed Sanin.
"Mei now"
"Okay with pleasure" Mei threw an exploding shiruken at the Sanin.
Exploding it revealed that it was really a ninja spy. Gamabunta grabbed the spy and yelled
"Where's Jiraya."
Akiko yelled
"It's ok he's here in the bathroom."
Keisuke sighed
"I knew something was different when he stopped hitting on Naru."
After disposing of the Spy via Mind scramble. The two continued to talk.
"So the rumors are true."
"Yeah I have telekinesis among other mind powers." Keisuke laughed
After listening to the same info again. Keisuke sighed
"So Hokage Naruto needs my permission to use my ninjas correct?"
"Yeah."
"Okay but why'd you come to me about it. I left the old Kage in charge of the military power."
Jiraya fell over.
"How can you be Kage and have no military power?"
Keisuke sighed.
"I just wasn't ready to take control of my village yet. So I told the old Kage that he could continue to rule until I return."
Jiraya mumbled
"Complete waste of time."
Akiko elbowed his head.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing…" he smiled as he rubbed his head.
"The two trek all the way to the village. The rest of the residents decided to go with them. Akiko giggled.
"This'll be the first time I'll have seen you're home."
Mei sighed.
"Mom you're embarrassing us."
Akiko yelled.
"Don't make me take your allowance."
Mei instantly became silent.
Jiraya whispered to Keitaro.
"Someone's a bit….moody today."
"I heard that." Akiko roared as she kicked Jiraya and Keitaro into the sky. Unfortunately Keitaro landed in Naru's chest on his return to earth.
"Pervert." She punched him into a tree knocking him out. After waking Keitaro up the group got to the village in a matter of minutes. Akiko kept walking around her eyes twinkling.
"Whoa…this is so…cool."
The others sighed as Keisuke spoke up.
"Honey I'm flattered that you're interested in my village but don't you think you're going a bit overboard?"
Akiko paled as she fell over.
"Am I really that embarrassing?"
"Yeah." Everyone sighed
Keisuke dragged his wife the rest of the way to the Kage's room. Knocking on the door Keisuke yelled.
"Lord Kazuki."
The door opened but it was not Kazuki that answered. It was Sangi, his assistant. The small man pushed up his glasses as he said
"Oh, Master Keisuke it's so nice to see you. I have terrible news Lord Kazuki is terribly ill."
Keisuke sighed.
'No…this is terrible. Jiraya here came all the way to Hinata just to get military help from me. I thought Lord Kazuki could talk to him. It's urgent he needs to speak with him."
Sangi shook his head.
"I am sorry but Lord Kazuki is too, ill to speak. But you may talk to his grandson and your former student, Kijaya Nagii.
The group looked at Keisuke in shock. Keitaro said
"You trained ninja."
Hitting him with a fan Keisuke said
"No I tutored him in School many years back. He's like twenty now."
Stroking his chin he said
"I have been meaning to set up a date with Mutsumi they'd be perfect for each other."
The group entered a room that was occupied by a man with neck length white hair tied in a pony tail.
"Hi Keisuke. I see you have heard the news about what happened to my grandfather."
Keisuke sighed.
"Yes I am sorry such a thing happened."
Kijaya got up.
"Yes it was one of Jiao's followers that did it they thought he was you for some reason?"
Keisuke picture in his mind himself in his Kage robes and Kazuki in his robes.
"Wow that follower must have been stupid. I'm taller, skinner and I have a different hair color than Lord Kazuki."
Kijaya sighed,
"Well the bad news is that he accidentally wiped his mind so we don't know what poison it is that he used."
Naru sighed.
"Why is it all the stupid people do so much damage."
Akiko, Keisuke, and Naru look at Keitaro.
Keitaro yells,
"What?"
The others leave the room as Kijaya and Keisuke talk.
"So Kijaya, Jiraya has come from the hidden leaf village to ask for our help. The only problem is that he needs to talk to Lord Kazuki, because I left him in charge of the village only you can temporarily gain that power. So will you grant Jiraya his wish?"
Kijaya thought about it.
"Hmm…I guess so. Give him the power."
Jiraya burst through the door with everyone else started hugging. Keitaro hugged Naru a little too tight and she yelled.
"Stop groping me."
Soon after Naru sent him flying.
"…For that girl." he pointed to Akiko.
"What!" Keisuke hugged Akiko
"This is my girl."
"Keitaro yelled
"And Naru's mine."
Jiraya cried
"I don't have a girl for you to take."
"No," Kijaya cried out.
"I meant that girl in the picture." He pointed to a picture of Mutsumi Otohime sticking out from Akiko's shirt.
"If you set me up with her the ninja are all yours."
"Woo!"
The group said their goodbyes to Jiraya as he began to walk off with the army of ninja.
"Bye Jiraya." Mei and Keitoru waved.
"Jiraya said to Keisuke.
"Hey kid here." Jiraya handed him a small bull frog.
"This is Nagi, he'll be your friend and if you need anything he'll contact me."
The group walked back at a slow pace when Keisuke yelled.
"Oh my god everybody's coming back tomorrow."
The group ran as fast as they could towards the train. As it rushed towards the Hinata station.
