6 hours later
Madara was running through the trees towards the spring country, where Jiraiya was last seen, 'that old pervert better still be here or he'll have to answer to me', so after another hour of running he finally arrived at the country, after getting permission from the guards to let him in, he started searching for the places Jiraiya usually go too.
A few minutes later
Madara had finally found the sannin, who was actually not doing anything perverted for once, Jiraiya had apparently been at the bar gathering information from one of his informants, and now the two were at the hotel Jiraiya had rented out for the night.
"So the brat wants me to train Naruto does he?" Jiraiya said
"Yep, that's why I'm here. To bring you back" Madara said as he took a bite of the origami that Mikoto had given him.
"Alright brat, we'll be leaving tomorrow, but for now we rest" and the Uchiha couldn't agree more as he took the spare bed after he finished eating.
A week later
Madara was walking towards the training grounds to see how Naruto was doing with his training, Mirai and Itachi right beside him; they had already visited the others so Naruto was last on the list. When they finally arrived however, they saw that Naruto wasn't the only one being trained by Jiraiya, but his apprentices as well.
"Hey guys" Naruto greeted as the trio walked over to them, making the others stop what they were doing "what are you three doing here?"
"Well, we're here to see how everyone's doing and you were the last on the list to see" Mirai answered "but we weren't expecting Jiraiya's apprentices to be here"
"Yeah, me either. But Ero-sannin said that we can learn from one another" he huffed "that's just an excuse for him to go a do 'research'"
"Yep, that sounds like the pervert alright" Itachi sighed
"So Madara," Pain said "who are these two?" he titled his head in Itachi's and Mirai's direction
"Well, these are my team mates, Itachi and Mirai, Mirai is Naruto's older adopted brother" Madara introduced, the two said person greeted them "and these are Jiraiya's apprentices, Deidara, Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Hidan and Kakuzu" he pointed to each person as he said their names, who greeted back.
"So Madara," Zetsu started "what brings you here?"
"Well, we're just here to check up on all the people who are in the 3rd part of the Chunnin exams"
"Oh yes, we heard that your brother is in it as well un" Deidara said
2 weeks and 2 days later
Madara was running through the trees towards the Tea country, which was where Tsunade was seen along with her apprentice Shizune. It didn't take very long to reach the place and no ninjas ambushed him this time, it was a very good day for him. Finally arriving at his destination, Madara started searching around for the blond sannin, and he finally did, at a casino, Shizune with her holding a pg in her arms.
"So what does that brat want now?" Tsunade asked, currently the group were sitting in a booth at a bar, and the sannin was drinking as usual.
"We believe there is a war approaching" Madara said seriously "I was sent to retrieve you"
"A war you say," She turned serious as well "is there any proof?"
"One of Jiraiya's networks have found out that the Kazekage was found dead, and has since the week before the Chunnin exams even started, so Suna is being led by an impostor, who we believe is Orochimaru as the Sound and Sand allied together" (Does that even make sense?)
"That snake is still up to his old tricks" she sighed "ok; we'll come back with you"
Back in Konoha at the Namikaze house
The Namikaze family was all sat around a table eating dinner and talking about their day
"So Naru-chan how's your day?" Kushina asked
"It was kinda boring since Ero-sannin wasn't there most of the time to teach me, but I had a lot of fun with his apprentices" Naruto answered
"Oh that's good to hear, I just hope that he doesn't turn you into a pervert like he did to your father"
"Hey!" Minato shouted as the others laughed "I am not a pervert"
"Whatever you say old man, whatever you say" Mirai waved him off
"So how was your day Mirai?" Kushina asked
"It was good, though Madara was sent on another mission again to god knows where" he sighed "seriously dad, where did you send him too?"
"I've sent him to the Tea country to collect Tsunade and her apprentice" Minato said
"Whatever for?" Kushina asked
"That's a secret" he said seriously making his family wonder what's so important to keep it a secret.
During the 3rd exam
The crowd watched excitedly as the genins stood in the middle of the arena minus 2.
"Where's that sound guy?" Naruto asked
"He couldn't make it" Genma said, he's filling in for Hayate since he's in the hospital after being attacked not that the genins would know that "so that would mean that Ino will be against Izuna"
In the Hokage box
"Looks like Kakashi's late" Minato sighed "he'll never learn"
During the exams
Madara and his Hunter Nin team were stood high up on the arena, the four placed in each corner: Madara in the South, Iruka at the East, Anko in the North and Ibiki in the West, they were concealed with a Genjutsu so no one can see them., each one with a headset on (the same one in the episode where Team 7 wore them to catch Tora).
"Do you see anything suspicious on your end?" Madara spoke through the headset
"No, all clear here" Anko said
"Same here" Iruka reported
"There's an Anbu here that seems to be acting suspiciously" Ibiki said
"How so, please explain" Madara said
"The Anbu is looking around the arena like they're observing their surroundings; several other Anbus are doing the same thing and are not in the positions that were assigned to them"
"They must be Sound Nins then" Iruka said
"What should we do?" Anko asked
"We'll watch for now, but keep watching for anything else that is out of the ordinary" Madara said
"Hai!" the trio said
In the audience stand
Itachi and group were all sat next to each other minus Sakura who was at the very front, looking for her Sasuke-kun.
"So where's Madara?" Hinata asked "it isn't like him to miss Izuna fight"
"He said that he'll be a bit late since he's looking for Kakashi and Sasuke," Itachi said "but he said that he'll be here"
"Hey guys" Madara blood clone greeted as he appeared next to his cousin "did I miss anything?"
"You missed Naruto beating Neji, so where's Sasuke?" Mirai asked
"I couldn't find them" he sighed
"So that would mean that Sasuke would be disqualified" Kiba said
"Not likely" Obito said "Sasuke is from one of the main clans so they'll skip his match until he comes"
With Madara and team
"That stupid pervert will never learn will he" Anko sighed in disappointment
"Well that's Kakashi for you," Iruka added "I just hope that he doesn't turn Sasuke into a late freak as well"
"It's highly likely that he will" Ibiki said
Skip to Sasuke's match
Sasuke had just drew blood from Gaara (Sasuke doesn't learn Chidori till later on), making the sand ninja scream, which signalled the disguised Sound Nins in the audience to cast a sleeping Genjutsu on everyone, the ninjas dispelled it around them though just as several Sand and Sound Nins appeared and the invasion has begun.
