Hey guys! A short chapter this time around.

Chapter 5

"Yo." he said

The sanin didn't have to search long before he knew who the boy was. He was trapped and didn't know what to do, he was his godfather yet, for the past 12 years he hadn't done anything with the boy, he had just abandoned him. Naruto could see or rather read his internal fight, there were small sign like his finger going slightly into a fist position, his eyes moved, his jaw muscle appeared, small signs like this could easily be missed by civilians, but he was no civilian.

"Who are you brat? And what are you doing here, what am I, the..." he said finally only to be cut by the so called brat

"The great toad sage that makes everyone stare at him in disbelief blablabla Jiraya." the boy cut, amusement in his voice and a small glint in his eye. "And I am Naruto Uzumaki, you are here because you were quite drunk, once more should I add, so I decided to take you here before you did something you would regret." the jinchiriki finished.

"What do you want?" the toad sanin asked at last knowing he had been defeated.

The blonde gaze suddenly hardened and all amusement disappeared. "I want you to train me."

The sanin met his gaze head on, serious as well. A smile then slowly crept on his lips, his smile turned to a full laughter. "You want me? to train a no one like you?"

"Hey you pervert!" he yelled making to white haired man stop he was about to yell about calling him like that but Naruto was faster. "A fight, you against me, if I win you train me, if I lose I'll never ask again."

"Fine!" the sanin exclaimed seeing an opportunity to get rid of him...

The two of them faced each other in a clearing. Jiraya had an amused smirked, for him it was going to be a swift fight, he would win and get to do some more research. He chuckled before calming himself and faced a determined and serious Naruto. Chakra slowly started to pour out of the boy licking his clothes. So much amount that the pervert got a little more serious, the sheer amount of chakra was enough to kill if launched forward in go. This boy was serious and with such high levels of chakra, levels that might even be as high or superior to his, he would be taking to beating of his life if he took this battle lightly.

"Are you sure kid?" he asked again

"Getting scared ero-senin?" retorted the kid. It had the desired effect. Jiraya was fuming.

"Don't call me that!" he cried out.

"Ready? 3, 2, 1 go!" Naruto exclaimed.

The sanin was about to mock him when the teen disappeared. The next thing he knew was that a well placed kick to his head sent him into the dirt. He had underestimated this boy big time. He had to be serious, this was after all Minato's son.

"Alright kid, you wanna fight, were gonna fight but don't come crying later." he warned

"You worry about yourself old man." the jinchiriki answered before disappearing once more.

The sanin knew what was coming and made a quick handsign. His technique Hari Jizō appeared. The boy foot was pierced by the needles, but surprising him the Naruto disappeared in a pouf of smoke. The sound of a technique came from behind him, a technique he knew all to well. He turned but the boy's speed kept him invisible to the human eye, the only hint of his passage was the dust cloud that suddenly went left, he was going to get him in the back, it would be a one shoot one kill. The speed at which he was traveling would make all his senses useless. There was only one thing that could save him. He froze, he concentrated as much as possible. He hadn't done this in years. Seeing his look Naruto guessed what he was doing, he had no time to loose. He charged for the sanin's back at full speed. He neared his target, rasengan in hand ready. He put his hand forward, just a few more centimeters and he'd have won. But the hermit was faster. He jumped up at the last second. The rasengan took just inches of the mans clothes. It was over and they both knew it. Jiraya grabbed the boy's collar before sending him up in the air. He hit him hard sending the jinchiriki crashing back into the ground.

It had been hard but he was happy as well, his godson was already strong and was able to defend himself, he didn't have to worry about him anymore. He turned around ready to leave when something caught his foot. His head turned and his eyes widened. The boy hadn't given up, he slowly got up to his feet, coughing out blood. That landing had really taking his breath away but he wasn't going to give up, Naruto Uzumaki never gave up.

"Didn't you hear what I said? You're going to train me whether you like it or not!" he yelled putting his hands together, thousands of clones appeared. Had he been back to his original body, he would have won before it had even started but here he was still in the body of the genin he once was.

The sanin smiled, at least the kid didn't give up, perhaps, just perhaps he would train him. But before he could think more a three spiked kunai passed next to him, his eyes widened as he recognized it. The yellow flash that followed only confirmed his thoughts but instead of having clones appearing next to him in a second the original Naruto he guessed was seen flying into a tree. All the other clones disappeared. He chuckled to himself the kid had potential but he had to train. Said boy got up from the fall he had taken scratching his head nervously, he didn't master the Hirashin perfectly yet. But his chuckling soon disappeared as Jiraya charged him, if he was going to train the boy he wanted to see what he was worth. Before his punch made contact the boy disappeared once again. He was finally taking him seriously.

But as the time passed Naruto began to realize how much his body impacted him and how much Jiraya was stronger than the third. He looked upon the sanin with a new found respect. Even thought Naruto kept getting up after each time that he fell he was coming no closer to winning. He was sent yet again into the dirt. He was about to pull himself out again when a hand was held in front of his head. Looking up he found a smiling Jiraya.

"How 'bout we stop for tonight, tomorrow I'll start you're training." he said. Naruto couldn't have smiled more, tears came to his eyes, his sensei was here once more, this time he was going to save him.

The following morning Naruto woke up the find the pervert sleeping in the bed next to him. He stretched and went downstairs to have a bowl of... something, anything he could find because he was starving. He walked slowly and wobbled, his entire body itched. The beating he had taken yesterday really had brought him back to earth. He went downstairs and he suddenly congratulated himself with the choice of the hotel, they had a breakfast that even Choji couldn't finish. Bred, butter, toasts, bacon, cereals, eggs and more stuff was there. He took a tray and put empty bowls, a glass and silverware. By the time he went to get a table his tray was charged with so much it was about to break. He saw Jiraya go down the stairs slowly. He didn't have a fight like the one yesterday in a long time as well. He got a tray as well and joined the boy. They ate in silence.

Later they returned where they had been the previous day.

"Well Naruto, you are pretty strong already but as long as you don't give up I'll be able to teach you a thing or two. But first tell me a few things, how come you know the Harishin and the rasengan? What rank or you?" he asked

"Well, for your first questions, it would seem obvious that I would know my fathers jutsus, and then I'm special jounin." he said smiling proudly.

"Yea right. Like if a brat like you could be special jounin..." he muttered, but Naruto heard it loud and clear.

"I am actually, I faced old man the third in the secret arena for 5 minutes. He then made me special jounin." Naruto answered.

"Fine, fine..." the sanin mumbled, but his fight from yesterday he knew that the boy could be right.

"Oh by the way, I need the key to Kyubi's seal, ero... Jiraya-sensei." Naruto said covering up his slip, since the pervert's death he had never called him like again, well except for yesterday. Jiraya's eyes widened, the boy could not be seriously thinking of taking the Kyubi on so young.

"Naruto, you might be strong, but you're not strong enough yet to defeat Kyubi!" Jiraya exclaimed.

"No, I'm not going to fight him, he's going to let me modify the seal willingly, we happen to be excellent friends, he and I." he said making the sanin's eyes widen again.

"You and Kyubi are friends?" he repeated, unbelieving.

"Yup, he's always with me."

"You know I've been thinking, why don't we just use these 6 months to get up to speed, Jiraya is strong enough to act as a serious sparring partner. Then we can head back to Konoha and take our place in Team 7 for some time, we have 10 years to get ready. Well 4 if you consider that he has to die at the fourth ninja war." the Kyubi said

"Yea, that's another thing, explain to me how he survived, Sasuke and I had clearly chopped his head off..." Naruto answered

"Beats me..."

"Well, in any case, I think I'm gonna do what you're suggesting."

The sanin which had been silent for a little moment now sighed. "You do realize that if Kyubi double crosses you, I'll have no choice but to kill you before sealing you away until a new jinchiriki is found right?" he asked

"Don't worry." Naruto replied confident.
