Chapter 2
One day later
Naruto was traveling jumping from tree to tree as he made his way out of the fire country. I need a place to stay were his only thought. Naruto planned his first stop would be The Land of Waves. He had been traveling non stop for a day and a half. After traveling for half a day in heavy mist did he stand in front of the Great Naruto Bridge.
"Hehe at least some people know how great I am" Naruto said with a grin on his face.
Not long after, Naruto stood in the market looking for food.
"Ramen,Ramen,Ramen, where is the Ramen" Naruto kept on saying as his eyes searched from his ramen.
As Naruto looked around he passed by an old man
" Ji-san, you have any ramen here?"
" No gaki we have a BBQ shack right around the corner" he replied
"Arigato Ji-san" Naruto said sadened by the news of lack of ramen.
Naruto made his way to the shack. An hour later he made his way out of the shack. When he bumped into an older man.
"Watch where your going brat"
Naruto replied without looking up "I could say the same to y…."
Naruto looked up at the old man with shock all over his face
"Tazune-san"
"Naruto"
X---X---X---X---X
20 mins later
Tazune and Naruto were walking through the city. Naruto had just finished telling him about everything.
" So that's how you ended up hear now, huh" Tazune asked
" Yeah" Naruto replied sorrow clearly written in his eyes.
" Don't worry Naruto, you can stay with me as long as you like"
"Seriously" Naruto asked
Tazune smiled at Naruto " Of course, you are a hero in this country it would be an honor."
As they continued to walk, Naruto looked up at Tazune and smiled
"Arigato Tazune-san"
Not long after they stood in front of Tazune's house
"Welcome to my home"
Naruto's eyes popped out of their sockets. It was clearly 5 times bigger than his old house.
"When..." was the only word Naruto could form
Tazune laughed at Naruto's reaction.
"You see here Naruto, after we built the bridge we became very rich"
All Naruto could say was "SUGOI"
Before anyone could take another step the door for the house opened revealing a short kid with spiky black hair.
"Jiji you're late for din....
The boy was unable to finish his sentence due to noticing who his grandfather's companion was.
"Naruto-niichan?"
Naruto smiled at the young boy
"Its been a while,Inari"
An hour later
Naruto had just finished his meal made by Tsunami, Tazune's daughter. They talked about alot of stuff especially about his staying arrangements. Couple of hours later Naruto went up to his new room and fell asleep.
Naruto woke up the next day with the smell of breakfast. After breakfast Naruto went to the market place where he found and old ninja equipment store. Thats to Tazune who gave Naruto some money to spend, Naruto bought himself weapons such as kunais and shurikens and also a set of weights. After his shopping, Naruto summoned his clones who divided into groups and trained.
X---X---X---X---X—X
2 weeks later
"Tsunami-san, I'll be back after training" Naruto yelled
" Dont forget to be back for lunch Naruto-kun" yelled the young woman from the kitchen.
"Hai Hai"
After three hours of training, Naruto was walking in the market place thinking about his training. His skills had increased by alot only using the Kage Bunshin thanks to Kakashi-sensei but he was now at the limit where he couldn't learn much by needed a teacher.
Naruto was brought back to reality as he heard screaming up ahead. He noticed two young women walk out of a bar after screaming at an older man. Naruto only caught two words
"Old Pervert"
Naruto snapped his head to the man they were referring to. There stood an older man in his 50's, he had long white hair which went down his back which was tied in a ponytail.
"ERO_SENNIN" he yelled at the man as he turned his head to him
"OWW, Long time no see Naruto"
X---X---X---X---X—X
30 mins Later (Restaurant)
Naruto and Jiraiya had just finished their drink while Naruto told him everything.
"So in the end you got exiled for Sasuke's betrayal" Jiraiya stated
Naruto nodded.
" I guess i have no choice, Naruto I will train you for the next four years.
"NANI"
"I must prepare you for Akatsuki, after the four years you will be definitely stronger than me.
Naruto was shocked "Are you serious?"
Jiraiya pouted at Naruto " Tch, It will be a waste of four years of research but I have no choice or Tsunade will kill me"
Both Jiraiya and Naruto stood up at the same time
"So shall the training begin"
END
