Naruto: Legend of the Ghost Rider Chapter 13: Meeting Tsunade.
"Sasuke. Hang in there" Naruto said. Jiraya and Naruto just fought off 2 very powerful Ninjas. Both belonged to the demon hunting organization called Akatuki. One, was a fish like swordsman named Kisame, and the other, was the every deadly Itachi Uchiha.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke had to run. But When Sasuke and Itachi fought, Itachi easily defeated Sasuke. Jiraya managed to have them escape, and had Sasuke taken back to Konoha.
Now, just later that day, Jiraya had to ask Naruto something
"So, why didn't you become that flaming skull thingy?" Jiraya asked. Naruto sighed.
"2 reasons. I don't want to be so reliant on that, and 2, I couldn't. Only at night" Naruto said. Jiraya understood. He sighed.
"What if it was nighttime?" He asked. Naruto sighed this time.
"I would have, if need be. While I am as powerful as a Hokage in that form, I need to be like that all the time. I'm taking Training seriously. I've got 100 LBS weights on each limb" Naruto said, showing them. Jiraya understood.
"Helps your physical stamina. Well you learned the Rasengan, plus a few of your fathers other moves in his scroll. That's all I can do really. I can't help much, for you seem to know your path. But don't worry kid. I'll figure a way to be of help. Don't want to let Arashi down" Jiraya spoke, with a sad tone to his voice. Naruto was quick to pick up on this.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked. Jiraya let a rare tear fall from his face.
"I miss the old knucklehead. You carry some traits of him. Out of the 3 Genin I did train, he was the one who was the closest to me. Hiashi mostly studied His Taijutsu, but had helped Arashi a lot when it came to inventing the Rasengan. Hitomi basically was skilled on her own, and was quite the Kenjutsu master. No surprise really" Jiraya said. Naruto was confused.
"You carry a sword with you. You're attracted to it. It's because you Share Hitomi's natural liking of the sword. Afterall, she was your mother" Jiraya said. Ne chuckled for a second.
"What so funny?" Naruto asked. Jiraya calmed down.
"You share many qualities of your father. You're determined, stubborn, love Ramen, and have a dislike for perversion. Though for him, it was limited" Jiraya said. Naruto smirked.
"Oh, and that would be...he'd be pissed off if you 'researched' my mother?" Naruto slyly asked. Jiraya nodded.
Conversation was like this for a while, until they checked themselves into a hotel.
"Let's see what Jutsus you've learned" Jiraya said. Naruto nodded.
"The five elemental dragon Jutsus, Flame Shushinin, detonate clone, and Earth Wall" Anruto said. Jiraya was impressed.
"Good to see that you're picking up on things. All of those jutsus take up a lot of Chakra, so they're perfect for you" Jiraya said. Naruto smirked.
"Kyuubi also notified me about something else. Using chakra to increase strength. I have tried it, but I'm still working on it. I'm also gonna try and see if it can increase me speed" Naruto said. This sent an odd shiver down his spine.
"You're gonna match Tsunade's strength. That's good for you, bad for me. I think you know why" Jiraya said. Naruto sighed.
"Alright. Hows this. I don't claim to be perverted. After we find Tsunade, I'll read a set amount of pages that you set, from whatever book you write, and we'll see" Naruto said. Jiraya beamed at that.
They did find Tsunade. 2 other people were with her. Her Assistant, Shizune, and her son, Daniel.
"Tsunade-hime" Jiraya said, as he and Naruto joined up with Tsunade in the booth she was at. Like normal, she was drinking.
"Hey sir" Shizune and Daniel both said. Tsunade looked up. She was ready to kill.
"Relax Tsuande. I'm not doing anything 'dirty' right now. I'm on a mission" Jiraya said. Tsunade chuckled.
"You...mission...that doesn't sound right. Not since you became a Sanin. You've been everywhere" Tsunade said. Jiraya nodded.
"It's true, I have. But there have been some recent events in Konoha that have needed me to attend to. First off, before I continue, meet, Arashi's son, Naruto" Jiraya said. Tsunade looked at Naruto, and chuckled.
"Arashi never dressed like that. At least you're smart. Yes, the resemblance is definite, minus those birthmarks" Tsunade said. Naruto knew she meant no harm, so he didn't say anything.
"It would seem as if Orochimaru finally managed to attack Konoha. Luckily, we won the battle, and his new sound village had to retreat. Damage was still high though, but we are having a somewhat bright future. We can't seem to carry on, as during the fight, sensei was killed by Orochimaru" Jiraya said. Tsunade spat out her drink suddenly, and it spilled all over Daniel.
"MOM!!!!!!!" He shouted. She was embarrassed at that.
"We need a new Hokage Tsunade. That Hokage, has been chosen, to be you" Jiraya said. Tsunade chuckled.
"Never. I don't like that title. To many people have died trying to become, and everyone was killed trying to maintain. Not me. I want nothing to do with Konoha. That title is crap, as far as I'm concerned" Tsunade said. She then felt the killer intent radiating off of Naruto.
"How dare you. You were trained by one, related to the first 2, and your strength is legendary. You are meant to become Hokage. My dream is to become hokage, so don't call the one thing I belive in most crap. Not when I have so many people on my case as it is!" Naruto shouted, as he brought a Rasengan close to Tsunade's face. She was surprised.
"Rasengan eh? That actually looks good. You didn't think you could teach him Arashi's move, did you?" Tsunade said. Jiraya smirked.
"This is a perfect Rasengan. I had more help from my godfather, and co-creator of this move, Hiashi Hyuuga. I will fight hard for what I believe in, no matter what" Naruto said, disengaging the Rasengan. Tsunade smiled.
"Alright. We'll meet up in 1 week. There, We'll discuss further about me being Hokage. I'm considering it now. You've impressed me" Tsunade said. Naruto smiled.
Later,Naruto was reading an Icha Icha book. He had gone past 3 pages, which was all Jiraya said.
"I don't believe it, but I'm perverted" Naruto said. Jiraya sighed.
"Kid, we all have our perverted side. The human mind, soul, heart, and spirit is so complex, that there are sides to us that exist, yet not everyone discovers them" Jiraya said. He looked out the window, and had a sad face on.
"Kid, I think it's time I told you more about Tsunade. She has reason for not wanting to go back. Her little brother died young, and she was unable to save her boyfriend. They both had the dream to be Hokage. She developed a blood phobia at that. But there is more. Her son died over that position" Jiraya said. This shocked Naruto.
"But Daniel is very much alive. I don't get what you're saying" Naruto said. Jiraya smirked.
"Daneil is very much alive, but that wasn't her only son. No. She had another son, from a previous relationship. She was 17, and kinda drunk. She and her boyfriend of the time partied hard. They loved to have sex. But one day, she got knocked up, and he left her. She was unable to raise the child on her own, so that one was orphaned. Eventually, they did discover, and they lived together, and became the mother to that boy, like she was supposed to be. He forgave her. But here's the real kicker. Her dead son, is actually..." Jiraya said. He was trying to gather his wits together, to try and say it. Naruto was hooked on.
"Arashi Kazama. The Yondaime Hokage, and your father. It makes her, your grandmother" Jiraya said. Naruto was clearly shocked. Naruto sighed.
"I understand, but wow. Here's something for you. My big bad flame form, actually has a name. When I'm like that, I'm called a Ghost Rider. How I got my powers, lets just say that me wanting to protect Konoha, to be hokage, the love of my village despite the fact that they hate me for Orochimaru sending Kyuubi on us, and me being his jailor, I did that the greedy, the sinners, the desperate, and the weak would do" Naruto said. This time, Jiraya was focussed, as Naruto put his book down.
"I sold my soul to the devil" Naruto said. This had shocked Jiraya to the core. So much, that he was extremely pale, and had left. But Naruto caught him.
"I sold my soul for the people of Konoha. I knew what I was doing, and I don't regret it. He needed somebody who was a kind spirit to go after the evil in this world, and send them back to hell. He gave me the powers to send evil back to hell, to protect Konoha, like I wanted" Naruto said. Jiraya listened.
"sounds like you did it for nothing. But if you don't regret it, then I'm not going to stop you, as long as you don't go after me. Though I am a good person, so generally, I'm safe" Jiraya said. He had gotten over his initial shock over the matter.
