Dedicated to Angie.
(A/N: To all my lovely reviewers thank you so terribly much for reviewing. To all those who read the last three chapter, but did not review, do so now! Please. Really, I want reviews, okay. Thanks! Thanks to Yumise-lunar for writing 20. Thanks to HoukiboshiHikari for everything. Thanks to HinataKyubi for reviewing. Thanks to all of you.)
"Orochimaru… He's planning something bad, he could attack every moment now," he said.
Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru jumped to their feet, had troubled expressions on their faces, and looked at Jiraya eager to learn more about their mission.
Naruto's POV
Orochimaru is planning something? Oh, no. Father! I will honor thy memory by winning against Konoha's momentarily greatest opponent, the snake bastard. Kyuubi will – must – help me! With his help I was able to manage everything up until now. Father – daddy – give my your strength…he thought.
Shikamaru's POV
How troublesome. A mission. What about I wonder, he thought. "Jiraya-sensei, what are we going to have to do?"
Jiraya's POV
What to do? What a question? Ha! he thought. "You will come with me to check out his new headquarters in the Water Country. Yes, I know Naruto, Sasuke you two have been there once, but things have changed. The sound ninjas took it over from the people. It's very much wrecked and in chaos and panic. The people are in a greater poverty than ever before. Our mission is to help the people, to observe Orochimaru's doings, and if necessary attack his headquarters."
General POV
Tsunade looked deeply troubled, presumably she did not want Naruto to go on a mission now, for she probably thought that he was in an unpredictable state at the moment, with the new information about his father.
Neji seemed quite enthusiastic about a new mission. There was this twinkle in his Byakugan eyes, as though he was eager to use them to spy on the snake person whom he had never actually met.
"Okay kids, let's go! We gotta get going!" Jiraya said while still sitting comfortably on Gammabunta's (hope I spelled it right) back. "Just jump on my dear frog and off we go!"
They did as Jiraya said, and jumped on the frogs enormous back, waving and saying bye to those who were to stay behind. Gammabunta started to move – or rather jump, since that is what frogs essentially do.
"Naruto, so you have been told about your father?" Jiraya said.
"Yes, Ero-sennin!" Naruto answered.
"Stop calling me that!" the great sannin yelled while standing on the frog, which since he was moving was something one should not necessarily do. "You very well know that my name is Jiraya-sama, and that you are supposed to call my Gamma-sennin!"
"Should I rather call you Subeke?" Naruto asked.
Jiraya got mad and said, "Neither nor, okay? Back to the topic. Your father, I never told you because I was supposed not to, an order from Sarutobi-sensei which was just broken by Tsunade-chan (Yes, Jiraya just said chan), I mean Tsunade-sama, I mean Hokage-sama…" He went red.
"Why are getting red Ero-sennin? Just don't tell me that you are in love with granny Tsunade," Naruto said.
"Are you out of your mind! I only like young and beautiful women!" Jiraya yelled standing up once again.
Back at the memorial
"Hatshi!" Tsunade sneezed.
"Did you get a cold?" Kakashi asked.
"No, actually not," she answered.
On Gammabunta's back
"So we're going to the Water country, right?" Shikamaru said, "How troublesome!"
"I can't await showing Orochimaru my absolute defense techniques," Neji said. " I gonna kill that bastard. Nobody can just murder Sandaime without revenge!"
Sasuke did not say anything. He probably thought about the power Orochimaru had promised him so often.
End of chapter 4, next update might take quite a while because my fall vacations are about to end, and I don't have a lot of time during school time. Sorry! Please review though. Let's try to make it twenty or even twenty.five reviews, okay. The more reviews I get the more probable it is that the next chapter is longer, and the earlier you get to read it. Yumise-lunar, what is the square root of 92? Please review, and sorry if next chap takes a while.
