Chapter 3: Sage's Once Again!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Mount Myōboku
The Great Toad Sage opened his eyes and thought 'how troublesome', dough he didn't feel troubled, not at the slightest he was just having a hard time trying to remember like always. He was a little happy he had still remembered what he just saw. It was a rift in time, and there was now two time lines one clear and one not so much and now he knew who had caused this rift Jiraya boy and Orochimaru. Now the not so much time line was the new time line the one Orochimaru and Jiraya messed up with. The old time line the one with the child of Prophecy was being completed, Kurama and Naruto had bonded and where fighting Madara Uchiha, now because Orochimaru and Jiraya's spirits traveled back, he saw that now Jiraya boy and Orochimaru where in his present time, so he was in the messed up time line… Oh damn he forgot…. Wait…
"Shima , Fukasaku," he called
"Yes Ōjiji-sama?" asked the Two Great Sage Toads
"Remind me when the human boy comes to Mount Myōboku that he'd be brought here immediately with his friend," Ōjiji-sama said.
"Do you mean the human boy from the Child of Prophecy?"
"What Fukasaku? I don't remember," the great toad sennin said.
"Which human boy Fukasaku there is only one, of course is the human boy from the Child of Prophecy," Shima bickers.
"What is the reason of you two bickering, now?" asked The Great Toad Sage
"Nothing," the two say.
"Waky Waky Snaky," Jiraya said as he held up two big scrolls.
"Summons why didn't I think about that," Orochimaru said excitingly as he looked at the two scrolls.
"Now let's start are summoning contract, or maybe I should reverse summon and head to Mount Myōboku instead," Jiraya though out loud.
"Wait a second do you have inof Chakra for that?" Orochimaru asked
"Of course I do I have big chakra reserves when I was little I was able to head to Mount Myōboku in my first try… you know I think I am heading to Mount Myōboku right now," said Jiraya with a smile.
"Wait Jiraya," Orochimaru tried to stop him but Jiraya pushed down on the scroll inserting some chakra and Orochimaru had held on his shirt so he traveled with him to Mount Myōboku. They were falling from the sky and fell down on the floor hard. Jiraya messaged his poor tail bone and Orochimaru looked at Mount Myōboku in amazement it was big and looked like paradise. Well for toads…
"This is Mount Myōboku?" Orochimaru said in amazement.
"Yeah, yeah," Jiraya agreed with no humor his butt hurt a lot, so he couldn't boast about it and he wasn't amazed one bit it wasn't like he was seeing it for the first time… oh the memories, Shima, Fukasaku, Bunta, Ōjiji- sama and all the other toads. All of a sudden Jiraya was having a moment.
Jiraya sighted, Orochimaru looked back at Jiraya who was grinning madly at the mountain that stood tall in Mount Myōboku.
"Let's go," Jiraya said as he started walking. Orochimaru turned and followed him and wondered where they were going.
"Where are we going?" asked Orochimaru.
"You'll see," Jiraya said as he walked forward, but not knowing where they were going? 'Where was Jiraya taking him' Orochimaru wondered
3.3.3
A long walk later Jiraya and Orochimaru arrived at Myōbokuzan Iwayado (the place where Naruto learned how to become a sage.) They passed by the giant toad statues and sitting right next to the fountain of oil that helped sense chakra energy was Fukasaku sitting on top of one of the toad statues in the middle of the fountain.
"Hey, Fukasaku!" Jiraya called. Fukasaku opened his eyes and was surprised to see two human children. 'The Child of Prophecy' Fukasaku thought immediately.
"My name is Jiraya and this is my friend Orochimaru and we have a lot to explain to you," Jiraya said with the most serious tone that Fukasaku had ever seen. He looked immediately to the young boy eyes and he did not expect to see what he just saw, those where eyes of someone who had seen through much pain and he wondered how a human boy held that much pain and wisdom
The next few minutes Jiraya explained Fukasaku what had happed to them and Fukasaku only though one word 'unbelievable.'
"You two are from the future?" he asked, Orochimaru and Jiraya nodded.
"I don't believe you," Fukasaku stated.
"Huh, you'll see I can prove it too you old geezer ," Jiraya said sitting down Indian style and meditated and started calling for nature energy. Orochimaru thought how a fool Jiraya was. How the hell can Jiraya be trying to enter Sage Mode, he just couldn't, Orochimaru thought, but Jiraya seemed to be proving him wrong once again as in a few minutes Jiraya had Toad eyes and his red marking on his face had grown to cover all over his forehead to the top of his cheeks. He had to catch up, Orochimaru immediately thought, and then grinned when a place came to mind where he could grow stronger, to be Sage once more. Ryūchi Cave.
"What Sage mode, just a mere boy!" Fukasaku said with his mouth agape in surprise.
"Now do you believe me you old geezer," Jiraya said with a full out grin
"We must go to see Ōjiji-sama he said when you two came he would want to see you immediately," Fukasaku said as he started walking to where the old Toad Sage would be.
Orochimaru followed but he kept on thinking about Ryūchi Cave, when they finally reached the top of the shrine Orochimaru was amazed how the Old Toad Sage was so big and … old.
Yes the Old Toad Sage was old and it was the reason why he had a hard time trying to remember everything, but when he saw the two humans getting closer his eyes opened and revealed his toad like eyes and scolded at them but in amusement.
"Oh Jiraya boy and Snaky," Ōjiji-sama said. Orochimaru grew a tick mark for the remark 'Snaky,' but the old Toad Sage but no mind on it now he just scold.
"Your future is not so clear for you two, for you Orochimaru there will be a time where you will go back, back where I do not know? You two will grow strong and you Jiraya would be the strongest for some strange reason, that is all I see," The toad sage said and closed his eyes
"That not much of a prophecy," Orochimaru said.
"Don't be so rude with Ōjiji-sama he's the Old Toad Sage," Fukasaku scolded
"Hey where is Shima?" Jiraya out of a sudden asked
"Oh she's probably making food," Fukasaku said with a smile, but then turned to young Orochimaru and gave him a Yamamoto stare, and Orochimaru flinched back, he really wanted to leave and head to Ryūchi Cave already.
"Sayonara," Ōjiji-sama said giving a big smile and Jiraya grinned and started walking out of the sacred shrine. Orochimaru went out with Jiraya who got them back to the village safely. Jiraya was surprised to see that Orochimaru grabbed the summoning scroll and laid it out in front of him.
"What are you doing?" asked Jiraya
"I am heading to Ryūchi Cave," Orochimaru responded
"Okay I'll go with you," Jiraya said
"No I am going alone," Orochimaru said glaring at Jiraya with that sinister stare.
"Fine," Jiraya said looking away "But come back soon we need to plan what we are we going to do," Jiraya said then looked back at Orochimaru's eyes and Orochimaru nodded, they were in agreement he slammed his hand in the scroll inserting some chakra and he appeared in a dark place that Orochimaru remembered as Ryūchi Cave and he headed to Hakuja Sennin's shrine. The opening let out some smoke as he entered the shrine he could not see anything from all the smoke and the white snake sage looked at the boy with sinister cold eyes. Orochimaru came closer and he could see the white snake smoking a long pipe and grinning wide when he saw Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru," the Hakuja Sennin said and Orochimaru eyes widen, but headed to the direction of his voice.
"You remember?" Orochimaru asked he came forward and saw as the snake sitting down on his throne had put down his pipe and gave a grin showing his big sharp teeth.
"Yes I remember distinctively the people I take under my tutelage," Hakuja Sennin said nodding "As Kabuto Yakushi," he adds. Orochimaru's eyes widen. "I am not like that Toad Sage that forgets everything do you see this orb in my neck?" the snake asks. Orochimaru nods slowly. "This is the power of how I and that Toad can connect to the future and my dear kin the jewel allows me see much more and you will soon see…. Now let's see where did we leave off since you left under my tutelage?" he asked his kin.
"Dragon jutsu," Orochimaru responded.
"Oh yes are you ready kin?" asked Hakuja Sennin as he grinned wider in amusement
"Of course master," Orochimaru said giving him as well a sinister smirk.
Many hours later Orochimaru was able to make a lot of progress and he was now as powerful as when he had been when his sensei had sealed his jutsu, but Orochimaru was damn tired for his master's way of training, Hakuja Sennin method of training was to beat the hell out of you until your limit was reached, and even after that he kept on pushing all he wanted from Orochimaru was to see his true instinct whatever that was. Hakuja was a little disappointed, he wanted to teach the boy dragon jutsu immediately but he couldn't as he noticed Orochimaru's predicament with his lack of chakra reserves, but at least he was back to the way he was.
"And you said you were ready Kin," Hakuja Sennin said with a big grin, "Rest Kin, come back when you have time and will continue," Hakuja Sennin said as Orochimaru was panting on the ground with deep cuts and bad bruises.
"But the Dragon jutsu…" Orochimaru failed to finish his sentence as his face met the ground again.
"Do not worry little one when you come back well rested we will continue," he said again with a smile.
"ugh," he managed to say
"Akane," Hakuja called on a small red snake… well she was as taller than a human, but to Hakuja Sennin she was just but a mere child. Akane slithered to Orochimaru and coiled around him, as she took hold of his body carefully and went out to a well that was a lot like the special portal called the Distant Body Water (遠身水, Enshinsui) that links Mount Myōboku and Hidden Leaf Village.
When she arrived, Orochimaru lifted his eyes lazily and looked up at Akane.
"Thank you," he said a little sluggish. Akane bowed and Orochimaru walked up to a tree and leaned against it and immediately fell asleep.
.
Jiraya had kept his Sage Mode on for a long while he was surprised that he could keep it up without Fukasaku and Shima. Jiraya was thankful that today Sarutobi sensei had given them a day of so he wasn't really bothered and no one could find out that he was now … PERVY SAGE AGAIN! Jiraya then felt Orochimaru's chakra which is exactly what he was waiting for. He sprinted using his chakra to get there faster and he saw Orochimaru with deep cuts and bruises, Jiraya sighted and walked over to Orochimaru to wake him up.
"Hey!" Jiraya shook his shoulder; Orochimaru groaned and moved a little. He was knocked out and very tired that Jiraya doubted that he wouldn't wake up until tomorrow morning. Jiraya got Orochimaru on his back and went to go find Tsunade. Jiraya opened his senses and noticed that Tsunade seemed to be in the Senju compound so he headed to that direction when he saw Nawaki walking out of the doors. Jiraya immediately shuts of his Sage Mode and looks at Nawaki in surprise, like if he just saw a ghost and then Tsunade followed, smiling as she said goodbye to her grandma Mito Uzumaki or Mito Senju as she had married Hashirama Senju. Mito turned and she saw as Jiraya had Orochimaru on his back and Mito noticed that Orochimaru was injured. Jiraya couldn't help but stare at Mito and think about Naruto, Jiraya sighted and thought how much he missed Naruto.
"Jiraya?" Tsunade finally noticed and turned to him with her mouth open.
"Can you help me?" Jiraya asked
"Of course baka," Tsunade said with a little annoyance and then ushered Jiraya inside and told him to lie Orochimaru down on futon as she prepared to heal on him. Tsunade even at a young age knew medical ninjitsu, her hands glowed as she started to heal the snake bite mark that Hakuja Sennin had inflicted. Tsunade wondered what these cut's where, but she stayed focus and didn't bother to ask question, that was for later. Tsunade was worrying about the bite mark but she couldn't see that it was a bite mark, his wound was deep like someone has stabbed him multiple times, but Jiraya knew that a giant snake bit him and Jiraya wondered what happened to Orochimaru to cause him to beat up.
"Here Tsunade," Mito said as she passed Tsunade clean bandages, when Tsunade looked back to Orochimaru's scars she was amazed to see them completely healed!
"What the hell!?" Tsunade said getting shaken up.
'The white snake' Jiraya thought, Orochimaru shifted his body and all of a sudden had his head on top of Tsunade's lap. Jiraya was confused how can that be? Orochimaru had that regeneration ability for years of experimenting on himself, but how could Orochimaru heal himself when he hasn't yet experimented on his young body. 'How could I use the Sage Mode without Fukasaku and Shima?' Jiraya then wondered.
"Wow Onee-chan you healed Orochimaru-kun that fast," Nawaki said impressed, but then he saw how everybody was in deep thought. Jiraya leaned down to Orochimaru and then slapped him in the face.
"OOWW!" Orochimaru screamed as he held on to his red cheek. "Why you do that for?"
"Don't tell me you experimented on yourself!" Jiraya accused
"What?! I would never do that baka not anymore!" Orochimaru screamed back
"Oh really then why are you all healed that is the regeneration ability? Hugh?" Jiraya demanded
"Yes it is I guess!" Orochimaru screamed before looking that he really didn't hurt that much.
"So you admit it."
"No I don't Jiraya you see…" he continued to explain to Jiraya, but no one could understand as the words that Orochimaru threw at him
Tsunade was surprised for this sudden action and was getting annoyed as they continued to bicker in the middle of her.
"Stop already!" Tsunade screamed, she had inof, "Get out!" she screamed and dragged her two team mates and threw them out of the house.
"Sayonara Grandma," Tsunade bowed politely to Mito, Nawaki was confused, but followed her sister as they stormed off to their house.
"See you tomorrow Hime-chan," Jiraya all of a sudden said and waved goodbye to Flat Chest.
Tsunade paused in surprise when Jiraya called her that, but then she stubbornly turned her head away from Jiraya's smirk.
"Why you that?" asked Orochimaru, because Jiraya didn't start calling Tsunade Hime until she had grown into a women, but Orochimaru shrugged and then fell down to the ground and fell asleep.
"Orochimaru!" Jiraya screamed. Orochimaru flinched uncomfortably from the loud noise, "Sleep in your apartment!" Jiraya screamed, but Orochimaru was so tired and he slept like a log.
