LEE'S ARRIVAL AND GIRL TROUBLES
While Lee was tracking Naruto from a distance, while also the former blond and his perverted sensei are looking for Tsunade. We turn our gaze from the group back to Konoha with a meeting concerning a certain known Alter user.
"You do you all think, surely this means the Kyuubi is breaking the seal placed on him," one the council members said.
"Indeed, and the fact he's in favor of the Sannin, we have to go about this in a legal way. If we try to assassinate the boy, surely they won't get within an inch of killing him before Jiraiya stops them," said another council member.
"But what if the seal is holding and we're just being too cautious," all the council member gave a dirty look to the one who spoke before he continued," it's not that I have any love for the demon, its that if we choose to kill him now without a Hokage, for us to manipulate, we'll surely cut down the power we have now," he said calmly without the hint hesitation.
They all got thoughtful looks on their faces, the one who spoke, name Jigmar (heh, another surprise) was only lying to them. He felt no hatred for the boy and it seemed that he was the only one that held him in high respects and seeing his Alter come out, he made a decision to train the boy himself in secret in order for him to grow in power and help the village whenever he can, and to also find out when he acquired Alter power' I just hope this won't backfire on me.'
"Very well, we shall postpone our judgment on the matter," the one who called the meeting then slammed a judge hammer (I don't know what those are called)," meeting adjourned," they all sat up and left while Jigmar only let out a sigh of relief.
On the outskirts of Konoha, two figure make their way to the gate, the guards then got into defensive positions," HALT, state your name and business here in the village."
The woman of the group stepped up in compliance," my name is Temari of the sand, I am here on our own requests to help the village for what our country has done."
The male went next," and I am Kankuro of the sand, same business as my sister Temari."
The two guards to a sec to think of whether to let them in or not," hmm, you may pass, but if we hear that you have done any misdeeds, we will not give you the chance the run before we kill you," said one of the guards as he let them in.
Once they were and earshot away from the guards, Temari then let a out a sigh of relief," whoa, those guys really had me on edge."
The brother clearly annoyed for some reason spoke," yea, well I don't want to be here to be here any long myself, so hurry up, get this Naruto guy, hook up, and marry or whatever, I just want to go back home."
The whole stream of complaints that came from him made her blush beet red and proceeded to give a good punch to her brother's head. After leaving her brother in the crater she created, she stomped off in search of the new Alter user,' Naruto, where are you? I want to thank you myself for saving my brother,' she then thought back a bit,' heh, I'm glad Gaara let me go to meet him, though it could have been better if Kankuro wasn't here. Oh well, I guess the new 'Kazekage' wants to make sure he sister is watched over by someone at least.' (Just so you know, I made it that the 'sand' is in the same situation as the 'leaf' and they can only spare a few people)
Now we see the Hyuuga heiress walking to Naruto's apartment, she had resolved herself to go and tell him once and for all how she feels about him,' okay Hinata, you can do this. All you have to do is say those three simple words and just maybe we'll hit it off good,' she then hung her head,' uuhh, but those simple words are just so hard to say when I see him, I really do love him so. Why does life have to be so hard on situations like this,' though she didn't know it, she was speaking the truth for two more girls.
Once Hinata gets to the door of her crush, she hesitantly brings up her hand to the door to knock. Once again, she hesitates to knock, but when she steeled her resolve to knock and proceed, the door flung open. This had brought Hinata's hand that was clenched into to a backhand fist, be brought down on the brown haired Alter user.
"Oww," the girl clutches her head from the sudden backhand on her head.
"Oh my," Hinata says in shock of what she had done. (Hehe, don't tell me you don't recognized the 'oh my', if not, watch Ranma ½) The pale eyed girl then goes over to the girl," I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were…" she then caught herself,' wait, what is a girl doing in Naruto's apartment, this better not mean what I think it means,' the Hyuuga said coldly in her head.
"Oh it's alright, I should of seen it coming," she says with a greeting smile, she then notices the cold glare from the girl," umm, is there something wrong?" Kanami wasn't going to put with this girls glare.
"What are you doing in Naruto's apartment, miss…?" the pale-eyed girl said with a calm voice, but one laced with venom.
"Kanami, and the reason I'm in his apartment is because I'm taking care of it for him," before the Hinata could say something, a blue haired girl came from behind Kanami while a blond haired kunoichi came into view from down the hall, who had a fan on her back.
"Hm? What's going on here," the two new girls say at the same time.
'WHAT?! There's another girl in his apartment, is he with both of them,' thought Hyuuga heiress getting angry while she had a calm face on the outside, not showing what emotion she had now, which grew when the other girl spoke.
"Huh? I was sure that the landlord of the place said this was Naruto's apartment. 'Sigh' I really want to thank him," Temari said with a disappointed voice, but when she says the last sentence, she had a small smile with an equally sized blush.
'ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THEY'RE ALL HER FOR NARUTO, JUST WHAT IS GOING?! CHA," yup, it happened, Hinata had finally acquired 'Sakura Mind Syndrome' or SMS for better sayings. She was confused and mad at the same time, finally she had enough," just what the hell is going on here?!"
The three were taken back by the sudden question, but Temari being the tomboy she is, spoke," and who the hell do you think you're talking to like that?"
"I 'know' that my name is Hinata, and who are you?" yea she has finally come out of that shell of her, but who knows if she'll still act like this when Naruto is around.
"Well 'little' girl, my name is Temari, and I'm not liking that tone of yours," the sand kunoichi tapped her metal fan a bit to let her know what she might do.
"Will you two please calm down? I don't want this place messed up before Naruto comes back to his apartment," Scheris did not like where this was going and the whole incident with Lee had her going through more 'painful' flashback of her previous life.
The two stopped their glaring and turned it on the blued haired girl," and who are you?" they both said in unison, which made them look back at each other with electricity clashing in between them. (Hehe, the old electric glare, those are the moment I like, they're funny)
She sigh at the two antics," why don't you two come on in, we'll explain what we're doing in his apartment, but only if you tell 'us' what your doing here, okay?" she also noticed her sister discomfort the two being here. The two glaring girls thought for a moment about the deal, they hardly had anything to hide and they wanted to know what these two girls who seemed to be the same age as Naruto, except the blue haired one, she seemed a bit older.
"Okay," they said in unison again and gave a quick glare at each other before they went in. Scheris let out another sigh, this was going to be a long day, and she just knew it.
While the girls were exchanging words at Naruto's apartment in the morning, the said boy was sleeping. He started to thrash about in his bed that he was sleeping in; they had stopped in another town and were well on their search for the medical specialist, Tsunade. In his dream his started to go back upon his memories of the thugs he had killed to save Scheris and Kanami. Their faces as they split into diced pieces of flesh and him standing amongst them, blood all over him and the blade he had created. Their screams echoed into his head, it was pure torture to listen and watch the scene happen over and over again, until he had enough and woke up in the real world.
"Hey, you alright?" Naruto looked to the side of his temporary bed and sees a genuinely worried Jiraiya kneeling next to him," you must have had some bad nightmare to be looking like that, and I guess it wasn't about all the ramen in the world disappearing," the
old pervert said in a serious tone, ending with a bit of sarcasm that wasn't needed.
But Naruto paid the sarcasm no mind," hey, old pervert," Jiraiya looked straight into the boys eyes," what…what was it like when you first had to kill someone?" the former blond said in a sad voice.
Jiraiya had caught the look in his eyes and the tone in his voice,' he must've had to kill someone at some point that I didn't see him. 'Sigh' this is not my thing but, I'll at least try,' the old coot then took a deep breath," well, to say the least, I couldn't look myself in the mirror for a month. But, if you're thinking along the lines that you're heartless killer, then don't," Naruto looked intently at the old man," we may be shinobi, but we don't have to like killing and we'll only do it if necessary, besides the only way it will truly become something evil is if you start to really enjoy it."
Even though it wasn't good enough speech, Naruto felt a bit more better," thank Jiraiya-sensei," he then started to get off the bed," well, before we head out, I'm gonna do some training. I'll be back in an hour," Jiraiya nodded to the boy, glad he was able to lift his students spirits at least bit.
After twenty-five minutes into his warm-up exercise for the day, he then felt an Alter signature near by. He then looked up as two figures come in fast with stomp kicks going directly for the boy. After Naruto was barely able to dodge the surprise attack, the dust cloud that was created from the force of the two figures stomp kicks served to shield their identities.
"You dodge quick, I guess that's to be expected, Naruto…my friend," one of the attackers voice was recognized right away, but when the dust could was quickly swept away to reveal him, he got equally shocked as he also saw the other attacker.
He was about to ask who he was, but was cut off by the tenant in the seal of the Fourth Hokage,' It can't be, that's Zetsuei and that's…Ryuho?" the former Alter user was a little confused
'So, that's Ryuho?' the former blond asked as he caught the tone of his voice.
'No, it's not, but I do feel his presence within the boy,' Kazuma took a moment to think, but while doing so he felt for the boys power and then it hit him who it really was' Naruto, you're not going to believe, that's…' but he was cut off by the boy himself.
"I see that you're confused as to who I am, but that's also to be expected. So let me introduce myself once again, just like when we met before chunnin exams," the next thing Naruto saw shocked him, the guy was going into bushy brows stance," my name is Rock Lee, former handsome devil of the leaf village, I now go by the alias of the 'Master of Zetsuei'," Lee announced proudly," and now my eternal rival, let us fight."
He was taken back at the speech and had no time to block the kick that came from the Alter puppet, as it sent him flying. Quickly regaining his senses, Naruto digs his Alter that he had out for this morning exercises, into the ground, having him spin a bit like a spin top. When he landed on the ground, he jumped off towards the two," YOU ASKED FOR IT LEE, SHOCKING FIRST BULLET," his charge then was quickened by Kazuma's original Alter technique.
But as the attack was about to hit Lee, Zetsuei got in the way of the attack and hit the purple ribbons that were acting as shield," you think that's going to keep up? Here goes, DRAGON'S FANG IMPACT," as the technique was done, the ribbons parted and left the Alter puppet to be punched in the face, thus making Lee feel it's pain.
"Hehe, very impressive my friend, but your not the only one whose come up with their own Alter techniques, ZETSUEI," the puppet complied and sped off towards the former blond. The said boy didn't notice it until it came right up to him and made him fly upwards as it kicked him with two rising kicks. (Think of Vergil's rising sun, on Devil May Cry 3) As he was lifted into the air, Lee appeared right in the boy's view, slightly more higher than Naruto is in the air," take this, STAR FALL," he then kicked straight towards the former blonds stomach as it looked like blue energy came from the kick and looked like it pierced the air around it.
After he the kick went into his stomach, Naruto was in some real pain, but he quickly sucked it up and took hold of his foot. Lee was surprised to what happened next as the former blond used the force of the kick and reversed it as they fell to the ground, with Naruto slamming the boy on the ground hard. The Alter puppet then kicked him off his master and got in front to protect him.
Naruto clawed his Alter into the ground and landed on his feet, crouched as he looked at his former bushy browed friend," how about we finish this up, alright Lee?" the former blond said with a cocky grin.
Lee, catching onto what his friend had in mind, smirked," sure, let's finish this Naruto."
They both stood there, motionless, waiting for the moment to strike. As if by some unknown signal, the two were charging at each other with their fists cocked back, aiming to punch each other in the face. When they got in range to punch each other, the next thing that happened was a surprise…they high five each other.
Naruto began to pat is friend on the shoulder," It's good to see you Lee, I'm glad you were able to recover from your injuries," he said with a cheerful tone.
"The same here my friend, I was wanting to thank you for having Scheris heal me, but when I heard you left before I could, well, I just had to give you the proper punishment for not being there to allow me to," the former bushy brow said with a smirk.
"Heh, well I had to go find this one woman, who turns out to be a Sannin, with the perverted hermit. When I found out she was a medical specialist, I had no choice but to go and get her if Scheris failed to heal you, and also, Sasuke needs healing from a jutsu his brother had cast on him," he started with his cheerful tone, but it soon tuned into a sad one. Deciding to change the subject, he looked toward his new guest," so, how come you look like that and why do 'you' have Zetsuei."
His Alter had long been gone as they started to talk," well it all started…" Lee then began to talk about what had happened to him and the new memories he has from the fusion. To say the least, Naruto was surprised again, Lee then asked his own question," Naruto, I've been meaning to ask you, why do 'you' have Kazuma's power?"
'Ah crap, what am I gonna tell him? Oh, this is bad, this is bad,' he began to panic, but the accidental demon lord was the one who broke it.
'Calm down kid, just do what I say and place your hands on his head,' Naruto was confused as to what he had in mind, but complied.
"Lee, just stand still for a moment," he then place his hand on top of Lee's head. Lee was confused what his friend had in mind, but then he felt a pull in his mind and felt he had blacked out.
"Uuh, where am I?" he shook his head and looked at the area around him and found that he was in some sewer system.
'I see that you're awake,' the former bushy brow turned his attention to the creature that was held behind a cage, with a tag saying 'seal'.
'It's been awhile…Ryuho,' then out of the boy's body, a ghostly appearance showing it self to be none other than Ryuho himself.
'It can't be…Kazuma, is that your?' the former Holy member asked as he walked slowly towards the cage and places his hand on the bars.
'Yea, it is man, sorry we didn't have our annual fights. I guess I owe you twelve painful fights,' the former Alter user said as he used his clawed paw to scratch the back of his head.
'Heh, you damn right you do, but…what happened to you?" the both started to talk about what had happened to the both of them, and what they had been doing for the last twelve years. All the while, Lee just stood there and took in the information that he heard from Kazuma.
When it was all done, Lee was brought back to the real world," whoa, that was a trip."
"So, what are you gonna do now?" Naruto was a bit scared that his friend might turn to hate him when he found out he housed the nine tailed fox that was Kazuma.
"Well I'm going to," he then paused with a serious look on his face," go with you," he said in a cheerful tone with a smile.
He was surprised by his friend, he thought he would hate him like the villagers," huh? You don't care that I have Kazuma sealed inside me?"
"Not in the least, Ryuho and Kazuma go way back and you and I are comrades, I can never shun a fellow leaf ninja and good friend," Lee said in his nice guy pose.
Naruto got a thankful look on his face," thanks Lee, well I guess you can come since you came all the way out here. It wouldn't do for you to go back empty handed on the way back home, huh?" the former blond says with a fox like grin," well, come on. We gotta let the perverted hermit know you're coming along."
"Right," they both then went in search of the old man.
When they get to the hotel, and enter the room, Naruto sees the old man readjusting his pack, getting ready for the road," I see that you're done with your morning warm ups, well let's…" he then notices his students new companion," and whose this?" he cocked his head in confusion.
"Oh, I guess you wouldn't recognized him like I did," he then pointed to his new traveling buddy," it's Gai's student, Rock Lee."
"Huh?!" he then looked straight at him," uhh, you're pulling my leg, right?"
Naruto and Lee sighed, they both then went over the event of the morning and what had happened to the former bushy brow ninja himself," so, can we have him travel with us? He came all this way and I don't feel like sending him back, plus we could train each other in the usage of our new Alters," Naruto trying to get his perverted sensei to accept his proposal.
Jiraiya then thought back on the situation, deciding it wouldn't hurt to have another and that it would be beneficial for them to train their Alters, he then decided he would take the boy," alright, but you'll have to pull your own weight around on the search Lee."
"YES SIR," the new travel buddy said in a mix of Lee and Ryuho in his voice. (As in how they act when they're ordered to do something)
"Alright then let's go," the three then left the hotel to go to the next town, in hopes they find Tsunade.
Quite a distance back from the three boys, three young women are in search of Naruto and one for Lee. The three consisted of Hinata, Kanami, and Temari; they all wanted to have their time with the former blond and were not going to let the other girl have some alone time with the boy they liked. The one looking for Lee was Scheris, the boy was on her mind for quite sometime and she resolved her self to talk to the young man and see why he's been on her mind and who he was exactly.
They went from town to town, showing Naruto's photo to strangers and asking them if they had seen him along with Lee, with description of his new look. Every time they got close, it seemed they were always one step behind the boys and were about to give up, but they resolved themselves to go to one more town. When they got some reliable information that they were head to another town, they hoped they would finally catch up to them.
When the three men had entered the city, Naruto was getting impatient; the old man said he would finally teach him the jutsu that he went along for on this trip. Lee was also getting impatient; he wanted to see this new jutsu and what it might do.
"Wow, it pretty busy here in this town," the former blond said as he looked at the crowded areas and stands.
"You know, playing is important too. Get some rest and then we can move onto the training," the boy looked right at him and nodded excitedly, he would do anything now to get this new jutsu," This festival is going to last awhile, so we're gonna stay here while it goes on. We're going to do our training here too."
Not trusting the old man, he hesitates to pull out his little frog wallet," alright, I guess we could at least take a bit of a breather. Come on Lee, let's have some fun," the both of them then went in the opposite direction of Jiraiya.
"Hmm, I wonder if he had any cash? Hmm, ah well, mind as well do some research," the old pervert then went off with a lecherous smile and giggle.
They walk for a bit, but then both their stomachs growl out for some goodies," hehehe, I guess we should fuel up, huh pal?" the crusher Alter user asked.
"I agree with you my friend, it would be in our best interest in acquiring something good to eat," the cutter Alter user said. (Hey, Kazuma's powers crush and Ryuho's cut, so they're good descriptions)
While the two boys are getting something to calm their wild beasts known as their, the four girls finally arrive in town," Do you think they're here this time? I mean we've been to at least four villages already," Kanami was really tired to say the least.
"Well then, just go back to Konoha and I'll take care of Naruto myself," the sand kunoichi say with a cocky voice and grin while she points her thumb to her chest.
"NO," both Hinata and Kanami voice at the same time, both not wanting to let Temari have her way with their crush, though Kanami can't figure when she started to feel this way,' I guess it was how he saved me and my sister…'pleasant sigh' he was my knight and shining armor at that moment,' thought Kanami with a dreamy look on her face.
Hinata narrowed her eyes at the girl, she had a feeling where her thoughts were and she didn't like it,' 'sigh' I know Naruto wouldn't like me hating his friends like this and I don't want to hate them either, but they want him all to their selves, not that I don't want to either,' she then lets out another sigh,' I wonder if there's a way around this somehow. Well, no time to dwell on these thoughts, better get to finding you Naruto.'
"Well are we going to search the town or not," Scheris was getting impatient, if these girls wanted to find the boys, then they should not stand around like nothing is happening,' if we stay in this spot any longer, they may get away and then I won't be able to talk to Lee for a while. I just want to talk to him, is that too much to ask for?'
"Yes, let's be on our way," Hinata was having almost the same train of thought, but wanting to find the former blond to tell him the she loves him,' here I come Naruto,' they all then ran to the town and made way through it as a group.
Back with the two male Alter users, they receive their meals and head over to a park," heh, I wonder how everyone is doing back at Konoha."
"Hm? Now that you say that, I wonder too. Tenten, Neji, Gai-sensei," he chuckled at the thought of he'll his sensei will act when he sees his new appearance and powers, that's when it hit him," hey Naruto, I just thought of something," the former blond then looks at him," how are we going to explain to my team that I have the same powers as you, you know Alter power."
That made him freeze for a bit, he then thought of something. Then an idea hit him, though it might not work, it was worth a shot," how about we say that we found out that you're apart of my clan and that you have awakened it due to my awakened Kekkei Genkai, and that was the reason why you healed so fast."
Lee thought for a minute, it was sound plan and explanation to those who don't know about Alters, so it might just work. They'll just have to make sure the act seem real good," sound plan my friend; we'll go with it. Well now, let's go and get our sensei Naruto," they left as they had already eaten all of their food while they were talking, but left an intact meal for their perverted sensei.
"Hmm, where could that old pervert be?" it was getting annoying to try and find a man who can disappear at a moments notice. At this rated they wouldn't find him any time soon, another idea popped in his head,' man, I'm on a roll today.'
"Hey Lee," they cutter Alter user then turned his head, he saw that he had the same idea as he had, and so they started to user their Alter senses and search out for the old coot's power signature. But that didn't last a second when they heard the man they were searching for laugh.
They go in to a restaurant and find none other than Jiraiya, having his fill with some ladies,' I'm glad I didn't show him my frog wallet, I bet he would've jacked the whole thing by now by the looks of what he's eating now,' Naruto thought as his eyebrow was twitching.
"Hahahaha, I just love young gals," the old pervert then notices his student and new travel buddy, standing right in front of him," oh, Naruto, Lee, did you two already enjoy the festival?" Jiraiya then took a sip of some sake.
Now even Lee was glad he didn't show is Gai-sensei type wallet that opens at the mouth, to Jiraiya,' and he's supposed to be one of the Sannin? What has become of the people we have learned to be upright people from Konoha?'
Naruto had enough at this moment," what the hell do you think your doing, you old pervert?" the former blond then stomped his foot on the table," we don't have time to be doing this. We need to got find that old woman and get her back to see Sasuke."
Just about when the old man was about to reply, three thugs come into view at the entrance. When the women saw who it was, they left without saying a word. As soon as Naruto threw the contents of the table to get a hold of the old man, one of the pieces of food flung and hit one of the men's jackets.
"What the hell?! What the hell do you do think you're doing, fool?!" yelled out one of the thugs in the same mafia outfit as his companions, except the one who had a white jacket on, clearly the leader.
The former blond and his companions look toward who was yelling," you put a stain on Bro's brand-name suit, pay for it!" they then look at the tiny stain that was on it, hardly noticeable," get 100,000 ryou, now!"
"Huh? Are you serious, a piece of crap like that costs that much? Man, you must've been ripped off, hahahaha," Naruto felt that the suit made him look like some weirdo bad guy from a movie. Jiraiya had a smirk on his face while he was thinking the same thing and Lee just stood there with a smirk on his face, feeling the same way as the crusher Alter user.
"Stop that damn laughing, you think this is a game? You trying to pick a fight, huh? Heh, you shouldn't for your own sake, Bro here is a chunnin from the Hidden Village of the Rock and is the killer ninja who was feared as a legendary Yaminin" the thug said as he tried to scare the three ninjas; they all raised an eyebrow at him, but shrugged off his tactics, the guy was nothing special.
"Legendary? Huh? I don't think I heard you?" Jiraiya said as he tried to look mighty himself.
"IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WANT TO GET HURT!" the leader was clearly pissed off that they were not scared of him.
"Hey, Naruto," the former blond then turned his head to the old man," this is a good opportunity to show the jutsu I was talking about, the one that you'll be training for," the old man then held out his palm and a spinning sphere of blue light appeared in his hand," watch carefully."
The so called chunnin leader had enough and charged in recklessly, his fist cocked back to punch Jiraiya's face in," BASTARD," but right when he got in range, Jiraiya thrust the blue sphere into the man's chest. The man started to skid back, until he was lifted off the ground and sent sailing along with the two other thugs behind him. They all crashed outside of the restaurant, making the sound known from quite a distance.
The group of girls that were searching for the two male Alter users heard the sound and made haste to see what was happening, and hoping that they had finally found the two.
"Whoa, now that was pretty nice," although it wasn't as powerful as one of his shell bullets, he knew that it was a powerful jutsu,' maybe if I can use it, it'll be powered up even further if I have my Alter hand use it. Hmm, it's worth a shot once I learn how to do it.'
When a small empty ball flew at Jiraiya, he caught it and then had an idea. He then went outside to speak to the beaten thugs," I went easy on you three, but I have to say, you all are sure weak."
The man who was hit by the jutsu was starting to come around and took a better look at Jiraiya," Are you the legendary…"
"I'm sorry I broke your stand," the old man said to the owner of the broken stand.
The leader thug then pulled out a wallet from his jacket," take this for repairs," he said weakly.
"Thanks," he took it and handed the money in the wallet over to the owner," Hey, I'm going to take all the water balloons and all the regular ones too, is that okay with you?" the man only nodded, shocked as to what had happened.
Naruto looked at the man who was hit and took a good look at where he struck the man, but just as he was going to go with the old man to train on how to use the jutsu, three voices stopped him in his tracks.
"NARUTO," the three girl voices said at the same time, but when he was about to look back, all three owners of the voices tackled him.
"Ow, who the…" the former blond looked to see who the three were and was surprised by each of them," Hinata," she looked up at him and then had a blush," Kanami," she did the same as the Hyuuga heiress," Temari," but she did something else then the two, she gave a him a hug and pecked him on the cheek.
"HEY, GET OFF OF NARUTO," the two other girls said as they were trying to pry off the sand kunoichi's grip on the man. Naruto was shocked at the moment, but quickly gained back his senses and looked at the group as Temari finally let off her grip on him.
"What are you three doing here?" he then heard a cough and saw another person who shouldn't be there," Scheris, you too."
"WE CAME HERE TO FIND YOU NARUTO," the three said at the same time, and then glared at each other as lightning went in between their gazes.
"I'm just along for the ride you could say, so don't lump me in with these three," she then saw the boy who she had healed and the walked up to him," h-hello Lee, how a-are you?" she had a blush as she looked at the boy.
When Hinata and Temari heard who was also there, they looked who it was and gasped,' what the?! Now he looks different too! Oh well, he still doesn't compare to 'my Naruto',' the two thought at the sight of him, but Kanami didn't care as she saw how he looked and wasn't the least bit interested in, but was glad that her sister was.
"Oh, hi Scheris," he tried not to think of how she died to save Ryuho life,' but she's alive here and now, maybe…maybe I can have a chance to make up my mistake and be with her now, but I'll try to take it slow,' he then looked right at her," I'm fine thanks to your powers. You know we should develop your Alter so it doesn't cost you some pain," he then added in his head,' or die at the cost of saving me if I'm dead.'
"I-I would like that," she said as she looked at his eyes and blushed even more.
"Oookay, now back to my questions, why were you three looking for me," the three then blushed, but he had a pretty good idea why,' it could be, but that doesn't seem possible. I mean, how could all three of the like me?' oh how naïve our former blonde can be.
"Um, well I," Hinata trying her best to say her answer.
"I was going to um…" Kanami said as she had a blush and then put her hand on her face as she shook her head slowly left and right.
"I just wanted to thank you, in my own way," Temari whispered the last part as she fiddled with her index fingers a bit as she too had a blush.
"But all the same, we just wanted to see you again Naruto," Kanami said with a cheerful voice and smile.
"Oh, well you guys should have just said that," he then thought back on something," hey weren't you guys supposed to be at the village? And you too Temari, how did the sand village let you go, I know the 'sand' is suffering just as much as us."
"W-we kind of snuck p-past the guards at t-the gate," Hinata said as she scratched the back of her head.
"And I made a request to help the village, seeing as how we were the cause of the damage, if only partially," the sand kunoichi lied, just like to the gate guards.
"Okay that answers those question," he then let out a sigh,' looks like we just received more companions on this trip, if this group gets any bigger, then we're going to have to buy a caravan at this rate.'
"Hey, old pervert," Jiraiya's eyebrow twitches as he looks at his student," theses four are coming with us and I am not taking no for an answer," when he looked at the group, he noticed the two familiar and the two new ones, he then got lecherous thought for his research," but if I find that you have taken notes for you so called research or any peeping on these four, Jiraiya-sensei," the old man then froze at the sound of his name being called that, the situation just got serious, for him," I will not hesitate to do some…unpleasant things," the former blond said in a cold voice.
"Y-yea, sure Naruto; I won't take any notes, not even a letter," the old man said as he held up his hand and had a nervous smile,' damn, there goes my new material for my next book,' he settled down and spoke to Naruto," hey, come on, we're going to train."
"Alright, come on you guys," they all nodded their heads and followed. The girls were wondering what training he was going to do; he already seemed powerful enough as it is.
"N-Naruto, what are you going to t-train on?" the Hyuuga heiress said with less stutters than she had before,' I have to at least be able to talk to him if I'm going to tell him my feelings.'
'AND THEN HE'LL BE ALL MINE. CHA," he new inner Hinata said with unrivaled confidence.
"Oh, I'm training now on learning a new jutsu from the perverted hermit," he said cheerfully to the pale-eyed girl.
"Perverted hermit??" Temari and Hinata said at the same time as they cocked their heads in confusion.
"That old guy in front of us," Scheris answered in a deadpanned tone.
"Oh," they both said and narrowed their eyes at the old coot. They both made a mental note that if they find out he peeped a look at them, there would be hell to pay.
They group then walked up to the outskirts of town and stopped where it had a good view of the town itself from a cliff," finally, we're going to train. I am pumped up for this," the former blond was getting anxious to start training. The girls who were watching him were giggling at the boy's antics; he seemed so cute when he looked like that.
"Here, have this water balloon," the old man then tosses the balloon to him, Naruto gave a look that said 'what's this for' and Jiraiya answered the look," you watched the jutsu I used earlier carefully, right?" he got a nod as an answer," what kind of technique did it look like?"
Naruto thought back to when he used the jutsu on the wannabe ninja thug," hmm, I far as I saw, the attack rotates around, and when I saw the guy's chest, I suspect it also drills through the enemy as well, thus meaning you held back some power so as not to kill him."
Jiraiya felt proud the boy deduced that much at least," just incase, let me go over some things for you," his face then turned serious," with the tree climbing exercise, you accumulated and maintained a certain amount of chakra in a needed area. With the water walking exercise, you released a constant amount of chakra. You did these two previously, correct?" Naruto then nodded again.
"This time, for this water balloon exercise, you're going to create a flow with chakra. Simply put, a rotation," the former blond nodded in understanding.
"I'll tell you the details of this jutsu once you're able to complete the basics. First, you accumulate and maintain chakra in your hand like the tree climbing exercise. Next, you release a constant amount of chakra like in the water walking exercise. Finally, you push and rotate the water inside the water balloon. These are the things you must do in this exercise," the old man saw that he understood.
'Hmm, it seems a little similar to when I use the second stage of my Alter when I power it up. Only in a reverse, I guess,' after he got that idea, he started to apply the idea to his right hand. The balloon then started to shape into a deformed ball; it then popped.
"Oh-ho, well I see that you had an idea that worked for you already. Well than, I guess we'll go onto the second stage already," he then handed him a rubber ball, the former blond had confused look on his face," this time, you have to pop this type of balloon," he then took out his own and popped it with one hand.
"Whoa, that was sudden," he then looked at the rubber ball," alright, here goes," he then applied his chakra to the rubber ball, but something wasn't going right," huh? It should have popped by now," he then put more power into the ball, he then drew back his hand in pain, letting the ball bounce on the ground," what was that sudden pain," he then picked the ball back up.
"See this training will…" but he was interrupted by the boys next action.
"Nothing like a little pain will stop me from finishing this next step," he then started to pump in more chakra, not even caring the pain his arm is going through, which was a lot considering the scream he's yelling. The wind around the area started to pick up, the source was the rubber ball around his hand, and as he was concentrating on the ball, he pulled his hand down. At that moment, the ball exploded with the energy he was emitting, and had him fly in the other direction. The group who was watching, was worried about the former blond, but they saw that Jiraiya had stopped him from flying and put him up against a tree to rest.
"See, something like that won't, ow, damn hand hurts, not to mention my body. I guess I shouldn't have pumped in so much," he tried to stand up but he dropped down on one knee in immense pain, the girls rushed over to him. Jiraiya stood there shocked.
'This kid just finished the steps in such a short amount of time? I guess that's the result of having an Alter arm I guess,' he felt great pride in taking in this student," good job Naruto, you should feel proud."
"Huh? Why?" the former blond was clearly confused.
"That jutsu took the Fourth Hokage three years to create and master, I too had longer than a year to master the jutsu, so you're on well on your way onto quickly mastering this jutsu," Naruto got a shocked look on his face, he couldn't believe he master such a powerful jutsu.
"Are you serious?" he only got a nod from the old man, it took a long pause before he said his reaction," HELL YA, I'M THE BEST, OW," his cheer was quickly cut off by the pain in his right hand," okay, I think I'll lay off on using this hand for awhile. I just hope we don't get any trouble before we find the old woman."
"Yea, don't strain yourself Naruto," Temari said as she put his hand over his shoulder so he could save some, and to at least feel his warmth.
Quickly thinking of something, Hinata went over on the other side of Naruto and slung his arm over her," l-let m-me help you N-Naruto," her face was beet red, but when she looked at the sand kunoichi, she was met with a glare, only to send her own back.
Kanami couldn't stop them and couldn't help in any sort of way for the boy, but then she had an idea," please rest Naruto, when we get somewhere we can settle down for a bit, I'll cook you some ramen," she got a happy look from the boy and glares from the two women. (How does that saying go that women use, the only way to a man heart is to a mans stomach, is that it? Well I just wanted to apply so there)
Lee and Scheris could only shake they're heads at the four," 'sigh' I guess that's was Naruto gets for becoming a guy like that with the looks to boot, hehehe, almost like Sasuke," Lee was thinking how much pain he'll go through to avoid girls in Konoha.
"Oh, don't sell yourself short Lee, you got just as much looks as him," Scheris said, but once she caught what she just said, she went beet red at the face," not that I'm going for you or anything, I, I, I."
"Hahahaha, don't worry Scheris, I'm not so clueless as to myself for having the same problems. But thanks for the compliment," he then saw it was beginning to be dusk," I see that it's getting late," he then got an idea.
"So umm, Scheris," the blue haired girl looked at the boy, still having a pink blush on her cheeks," would you, uh, like to get, uh, bite to eat? If not, I understand," he asked nervously as he scratched the back of his while also having his own blush.
She was shocked by the question, she did kinda like him,' ah what the hell, he is cute and he didn't try to do anything perverted, not that I wouldn't mind if it was him,' her blush grew at the thought of him doing something like that," uh, sure Lee, I'd, uh, I'd love that."
"Really," he then got happy and had stars around,' yes, I have finally accomplished in getting a date. Gai-sensei, you'll be proud me,' he had his fist in front of face and his face was slightly up with a stream of tears going down.
She giggled at the reaction she got from him, she thought it was cute,' I would probably get sick if he was in his original form,' she then turned from her thoughts and spoke," yes really, I don't mind. Come on, let's catch up to the others, so we can tell them."
"Okay," he said once he was done with his little moment.
Once they reached the group who were heading into town and to a hotel they were going to crash for the night, the two told them what they would do. Kanami was happy that her sister finally got a date with someone, she knew her sister was hard to deal with and that she wouldn't let anyone near by her heart, so this made her real happy. Naruto, who was resting on a bed for a bit, gave his nice guy pose to Lee, he was glad his friend had found someone who at least go out with him, though his new looks might have to deal with it. The others gave them a happy nod.
While they two went out for the night, Naruto was left with three competing girls in his room. They were all trying to get close to him, but then one of the other would stop the other. He felt like a piece of meat on for sale.
Now with the two who were on a date, they were on their way to some events that were happening in the festival and find something to eat, they then stopped at a 'hit the can' booth. (You know, the one with the cans stacked up and you throw balls to knock them down)
"Hey, this looks like it'll be fun," Lee then looked at the blue haired girl," want to go first, I know I'd be cheating if I did it."
"Oh, and you think I'm bad at throwing, huh?" she playfully punched him on the shoulder," alright, I'll go."
"Hehehe, okay, then I'll pay. Wouldn't be much of a guy if I didn't pay for a beautiful girl," he then went up and paid for the amount of balls to throw.
"Here," he then gave one of them to her," go on and try it."
"Alright," she then threw it, only to miss, completely," darn it, I'll try the next one."
She tried three time and still no luck, she was about to throw the last one when Lee stopped her," hold on there, here let me help you."
He then went around behind her and pressed his body against her back and put his hand on her hand. He then put her into the correct throwing position, all the while Scheris was getting red in the face at the close contact she having with the former bushy brow,' this feels nice though, I wonder if he feels the same way,' she didn't attempt to stop him and liked the close contact.
"Alright, I'm going to help you with this throw, okay," he didn't see her face, but he saw her nod as an answer," okay, here we go," they both then drew back their hands and released the balls together, sending the ball flying dead center on the cans," yes, we did it," he said as he pumped his fist in the air.
She giggled at him,' oh, he can be so cut sometimes,' she thought for a moment.
Lee went up to the stand and went to get the prized he and Scheris won, the owner said to pick any of the prizes since they knocked down all the cans. He picked a big fluffy white tiger," here, for the healer of my wounds and heart," he handed the big tiger to the blue haired Alter user.
She got a big smile on her face at the prized she had gotten together with the boy," thank you Lee, but this tiger is yours too, so we can share if you want."
"Hahaha, I don't think a fluffy tiger would help in a ninja battle, so you keep it. It will please me if you do," the two then went to play at other stands and eat festival foods.
While all this was happening, Naruto wasn't having so much fun. The situation with the three girls was increasing. He had finally got over the pain shooting out in his right arm in completing the first two steps for the jutsu so quickly, but it still hurt like a bitch, so he tried to not used it for a while longer.
When the Lee and Scheris got back, he saw that they were indeed very happy,' at least someone had some fun, and I had three girls bickering left and right for no reasons what so ever.'
Both him and Lee talked about what him and Scheris had done. When they were done, they hit the sack, but Naruto could hardly sleep and so he went to the hotel's balcony area to get some fresh air. When he got there, he noted that someone else was there.
It turned out to be Hinata," well doesn't this situation seem familiar," he said under his breath," hey Hinata, what you doing out here."
"Oh, Naruto," she said as she quickly got back to her usual timid self, but her inner Hinata was saying something else,' YEA, HE'S HERE WITH ME AND NOT YOU OTHER TWO, SCORE. CHA."
"W-what are you d-doing here Naruto?" she asked as she fiddled with her index fingers.
"Just getting some fresh air," he then looked at the full moon that was out.
"It's a b-beautiful night isn't?" he then looked at her and saw she too was looking at the moon.
"Yeah, it sure is," he said as he gazed back at the moon. They both stood there in silence, until a few moments later, Naruto spoke up," you know, I never would have thought all this would happen, my powers, the training, and the when I would see you guys out here. I thought I would be out here for a long time, before I went back to see you guys, but you all surprised me by coming here."
"So, uh, how do feel about us all being here N-Naruto?" she wanted to at least know that much.
"It feels good to have you guys with us," he then paused for a bit," you know, it feels like the moon itself is calling to me, telling me to go further in my path."
"And I'm calling out to you as well Naruto," Hinata said in a low voice that Naruto didn't hear. He turned his head to her to ask what she said, but she just shook her head and smile. He understood she didn't want to speak it out loud, so he left it at that as they continue to gaze upon the moon together.
Two girls were hiding behind the corner, both not happy that this girl was having some alone time with the man they like,' looks like I'll have to step up my game,' both girls thought as they headed back to their rooms.
The next morning, the group had woken up, Naruto noticed the old man wasn't there," Hey, Lee," the cutter Alter user looked his friend," have you seen that pervert around? I don't see him here."
"Hm? Now that you mention, no, I haven't seen him since last night," he then thought for a moment to think where the old man was," hmm, I do remember that he was out late last night."
"Hmph, I bet he was out peeping on some girl or maybe getting drunk, or some other perverted thing?" the former blond said as he went to do his morning things, until the door opened for someone else to come in.
"You know, you could at least show some respect to your teacher, brat," the old man was the one who came in, but as soon as he said his annoyance, his face turned serious," I've found out where Tsunade is, so we're leaving now."
"Hmm, so where is the old lady and what about my training?" he wanted to know the answer to them both, now.
"Well, she's in a town called Tanzaku and as for the training," he then pulled out a balloon that had not been inflated, which he took care of by blowing air. He then tossed it over to the former blond," the first step was rotation, the second step was power, and finally the third step is this," after he said that, there was a long pause, but he still didn't do anything.
"'Grunt' are you going to show me or not? And what do you mean by 'this'?" the former blond was getting annoyed by the old man.
"Hehehe, it looks like I'm just holding the balloon in my hand, but if you must see, then I guess well see what's happening in the balloon with my left hand," he then sets his left hand next to the balloon in his right hand, and a sphere of blue chakra appears in his left hand.
'I see, the chakra's rotation is random and the speed it's going at is getting faster and faster, but at the same time, it is keeping its spherical shape. In way, it looks like…" but he was cut off by the old man who seemed to have read his mind.
"It looks like a typhoon, doesn't it?" the old pervert said as he guessed at his student's thoughts.
"Hmm, so that's what's happening in that balloon, I knew I felt some power emanating from it, but I scratched off as something else," the former blond trying to get his sensei to speak in detail of what this exercise entails.
"Yup, that is what's happening," he simply said.
'Hmm, to be able to have such control that the balloon doesn't even move while with that much energy going into it. It seems that there's more power than when I popped the rubber ball and the rotation is also incredibly fast, hmm this will take some time to master I suspect," he then looked up to his sensei to let him know to continue.
"Alright listen, in this third step, you must use one hundred percent of the ability you learned in the first two steps and retain it," he then pulled up his right hand with the balloon in his palm, with the power still going in it," in other words, you have to keep your chakra's rotation and power at the maximum, create a thin layer within the balloon, and create an image that you're compressing chakra inside that layer."
"I see, so this exercise is to keep that power of the rotation I learned in the two steps and pop the soft balloon, huh? Now I understand the exercises, they're meant as control exercises, so that the user can use the jutsu to it's fullest. For if the user didn't have any control, the power in it would just be wasted," Naruto then looked at the balloon in his hand intently.
"Sharp as always my boy, I'm proud to have taken you in as my student. If you can retain the small typhoon in your hand, the power will not disperse. The rotation will become faster, and the effect will become more concentrated, and its destructive power will become the ultimate. So that's how it is," he saw the boy nod in understanding.
"Let's get the others, I don't want to do the exercise and blow up the hotel in the process," the two men nodded and did just that. When they got the girls, they quickly go ready and went on the to Tanzaku.
While on the way, Naruto was desperately trying to retain the new jutsus form and was wasn't having good progress,' to be able to do this, I need all of my power, but I can't use too much or I lose control. 'Sigh' this will take awhile,' the former blond thought, when he put stopped for a minute, he was walking down the road with Temari hold his left arm, Hinata holding his right, and Kanami on top of his back. He was used to a lot of weight, so he really didn't notice her their until she wrapped her hands around his neck,' 'sigh' I know now they all like me, but I can't just pick one of them. I wouldn't be able to deal with them if I broke their hearts. 'Sigh' why does life have to be so hard?'
"Just so you all know, Tsunade is really short tempered," Jiraiya warning the group as they finally made it to Tanzaku.
"Well then we need to find miss Tsunade or we won't know if she might go somewhere else next," Lee saying his two cents to the conversation, everyone agreed to what he said just now also.
'Hmm, I wonder what kind of kunoichi this Tsunade is…if the old pervert is trying to find her, she must be something,' the all walk into Tanzaku and start their search, they all split up into three groups and tried to find her.
Naruto and Jiraiya was one group, though the old pervert seemed to want to check out the women more. The second group was Lee and Scheris, these two had no problem working together and saw it as a chance to get to know each other, but the third group was having a lot of trouble working together though. This group, as you have guessed it, was Hinata, Kanami, and Temari.
It took quite awhile, but the third group spotted her, but they saw she had a sort of pained look," alright, let's follow her and I'll send a messenger to the others," Temari then brought out her fan and opened it. She then bit her thumb and pressed it against the fan, after doing that she flung the fan and out came a summon that look like some weasel ninja, it then flew of to the other to inform them of group three's findings.
Group one was overlooking some destruction, trying to figure what exactly happened to the castle area, until they got the message and went off. Group two, caught a glimpse of Orichimaru and hid quickly, wondering why the old snake was in Tanzuka. After a long period of time of when they felt he was long gone, they got out of there hiding place and received the message from Temari's summon animal.
It took the groups until nightfall to get to group three," you sure she's in there?" Jiraiya asked,' but I really wouldn't put it past her, she is a kind of an alcoholic,' he thought as he looked at the nighttime bar.
"Yea, we are mister Jiraiya, we kept a good distance and made sure that she went in. She hasn't come out since," Kanami said as she looked at the bar herself.
"Okay, hey Naruto, let's you and me go in. Everyone else, stay here, we don't want too many people in there to just talk to her," the girls were about to protest, but stopped as they looked at the serious face on Jiraiya.
When they entered, they both looked around until they heard a yell from a certain blond haired woman," Jiraiya?"
"Well, well, Tsunade," the old man said with amusement.
"What are you doing here?" Tsunade asked as she came out of her state of being drunk from drinking too much sake.
Jiraiya simply walked over to the table she was at,' so this is old lady Tsunade?' Naruto thought, he then takes a look at her and notices her big bust,' is she really fifty?'
Once the two were seated, they all just sat there in silence, plates came in to feed the people at the table. Naruto didn't take a bite, not wanting to eat when his friend couldn't.
"What a day…seeing old acquaintances everywhere," the old lady said as she took a sip of some sake.
Jiraiya took a sip of his own and paused for a bit," Orichimaru," he said in a statement than a question," what happened?"
Naruto noticed she gave a warning glare to her female companion," nothing much, we just said hello," she then took out a stack of cards and started to shuffle them."
'This chick is the kunoichi who can cure any wound? I hope that's true, Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei need to be healed,' the former blond thought as he tried to figure out this woman name Tsunade.
"What do you want from me?" she asked as she laid the cards down after she was done shuffling.
Jiraiya then took the cards and as he shuffled them himself," I'll get straight to the point…Tsunade, the village has requested that you become the Fifth Hokage," as soon as he said that, Shizune and Naruto had shocked looks on their faces.
'Hmm, I should have seen this, but why so sudden? What exactly is going on here?' the former blond tried his best to figure out the situation as the two played cards while they discussed the matter.
"Have you heard what has happened to the Third Hokage?" the old man said with his poker face on.
"Orichimaru killed him, right?" the busty blond said, not really asking," I heard from him directly," she then notices the former blond," Jiraiya, whose the kid?"
"Hehehe, Naruto Uzumaki," she then got a little shocked look.
"Nice to meet ya, you old bat," her eyebrow twitched at the greeting.
Jiraiya then proceeded to play cards," I'll say it again; the village has requested that you become the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade. So, what is you're reply?" he paused for sec before he asked the next question," will you accept the job?" she took a long time in thought, too long," what's your answer Tsunade?"
She looked up from her cards and threw them onto the table, throwing in her hand of cards," not possible…I refuse," she said with an edge to her voice. The answer shocked the rest, except Jiraiya who had a smile on his face for some reason.
"I remember that line," he said with cheer in his voice," I asked you to date me a long time ago. You said the same thing and turned me down."
"Just what the hell are you talking about, you perv? You said that we were going to take this person back to the village and have her heal Sasuke and Kakashi, right?! But you're asking her to become the Hokage, what the hell?! She even declined," the former blond was getting pissed at the moment, why was the old man acting like that and why would the woman not take the place of being Hokage.
"Calm down, she the only one suited to become the Fifth Hokage," he thought back on the time of the war," during the fierce war, she contributed greatly to Konoha's victory. Her combat and medical skills are still unrivaled. Also, Tsunade is the First Hokage's granddaughter. Combined that with her abilities, and she is the most suited to becoming the Fifth Hokage. If she does becomes Hokage, she will have to go back to the village and there, she can heal the two you mentioned," she began to take her cards back at that moment," also, this is a decision made by Konoha's highest decision makers, the advisors. It's not something that a gennin should comment on."
Naruto then got a pissed of look on his face," Jiraiya," they both look at the old lady," your new apprentice seems to be ruder, stupider, and uglier than the previous one."
As if they had been listen, Hinata, Kanami and Temari come busting in through door and yell out at the same time," WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT NARUTO?!"
Tsunade was surprised by the outburst from these ladies,' I guess I should take back that comment on him being uglier, he rivals the Fourth Hokage's charms to have these ladies defending him.'
"Settle down girls," Jiraiya didn't want this situation go out of proportion. The girls humph at the old man and lady and took a stand around the boy they liked," well he looks he has no problems with the ladies as you can see, Tsunade," Naruto eyebrow twitches at the comment," although the Fourth Hokages capabilities as a ninja were unrivaled in history. He was talented with techniques, incredibly smart, and popular. In fact Tsunade, he has all of these qualities, with the short time I've been with him, I'm sure of it."
"But even with all of what the Fourth Hokage had, he still died. He threw his life away for the village," she deadpanned and continued," life isn't like money, only idiots bets his life so easily."
To say Naruto was mad is an understatement, he was beyond pissed,' an idiot?!' he was barely keeping is Alter power from flaring out.
The girls narrowed their eyes at the women,' she has no right to speak like that in front of Naruto, because of him, my brother is becoming a better person. He'd be a better Hokage then her any day,' Temari thought as the girls had almost the same train of thought going through their heads.
"My grandfather and the Second Hokage wished to end the war, but they wasted their lives before they could accomplish that," she said with a little smirk.
"You've changed Tsunade," Jiraiya said, almost having sadness in his voice," I don't know what you've been thinking, but you put it in words."
She chuckled a bit," I'm in my fifties, even if I look like this, time changes people," she then looked at him with her face behind the cards," Sarutobi-sensei is the same. If an old man tries to act brave, of course he'll die," Jiraiya had a hard scowl, and Naruto, as well as the girls were having a hard time plowing this woman through the wall with their own respective attacks. She simply 'hmphed' them and went back tot the cards and saw her last one, she then let out a bit of a groan," the title of Hokage is a piece of crap, only an idiot becomes one."
Naruto couldn't take it and punched right at the old lady who used he finger to deflect up, when it hit the wall, a big hole was in it's place. She was surprised that a kid this age had that kind of strength," how dare you, anyone who mocks the Fourth Hokage, or the old man who I considered a grandfather, it won't matter to me what gender they are," he then punched his fist into his palm," they all deserve to have their ass kicked."
She then stepped up to the boy's eye level on the table," you've got some balls to say that to me, step outside," she said with a cocky grin which served to infuriated the former blond.
"Tsunade!" Shizune wanted to stop this, but her sensei would never listen to reason when she acts like this. Jiraiya took that moment to sigh; he had the same thought as well.
Everyone stepped out and the two stepped away from each other at a distance. The three girls went to tell Lee and Scheris about the situation, and waited for the fight to begin. On the three girl's minds was one thing,' KICK HER ASS NARUTO.'
"Even though I look like this, I was one of the Sannin. There's no need for me to get serious," the old lady said with a cocky tone, she then held out her index finger upward," one finger."
"One finger?" Naruto asked intelligently.
"One finger, I'll use this one finger to beat you," she then did a Lee and goaded for him to come with her hand out, telling him to come," come on, little boy."
"You'll regret those words, you old bat," and so he charged in, hoping to beat some sensed into this woman and to have her come back to Konoha and heal his team, one way or the other.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: well that's the end of this chapter, hope you guyz like this one. I hope you guyz don't think that I made Naruto go through the Rasengan training to fast, I just didn't see the reason for him to go through that long of training, seeing as he has some experience, I at least held back bit though. And I hope I'm making the scenes with the girls good on how they're fighting over Naruto, eventually I'll have them just agree to be with him. But that maybe two or more chapter ahead, who knows. Oh and if you check my profile, I have a link as to what Lee and Naruto look like now. Well, with that said and done, see ya.
