Chapter 2_________________________________________________________________________

August 30, 525

Jiraiya was starting to get worried it has been eight days since Naruto's miraculous return from the dead but he still hadn't woken up What good is him being alive if he never wakes up. Jiraiya thought. No matter how much he complained to himself about Naruto not waking up he never stopped thanking what ever force it was that had brought his student back to life. So he just continued sitting there staring at his student much as he had for the last seven days that he had spent in one of his many pre-stocked hidden caves that he had created throughout the world on his travels this one happened to be just on the other side of the border between the fire nation and the wind nation. Then suddenly Naruto's eyes fluttered a little bit and Jiraiya's heart rate quickened with anticipation hoping this was a sign that his student would wake up, and sure enough Naruto's eyes slowly opened

"Ero-sennin what am I doing here?" Naruto asked in a very drowsy voice

"we are in one of my hide outs in the wind county I took you here after your battle with Sasuke."

"Did anyone catch him?" Naruto asked. With a very detectable amount of anger in his voice.

"No He got away and what is with the tone I have never heard you say anything like that before."

"The bastard killed me what do you want me to be happy?" Jiraiya jumped a little bit

"How do you know you died and do you know what brought you back to life then?" the Sannin asked. Naruto then described the meeting with the Kyuubi to his sensei word for word not leaving anything out. "This is very interesting and of course I'll train you I was already planning on doing that which is why you are here instead of in the village in fact every one except for Kakashi thinks you are dead in the village."

"WHAT! Why would they all think I am dead?"

"Because I told Kakashi to tell them that now we will not have to worry about the Akatsuki hunting you while I train you once I decide you are ready to face them we will return to the village."

"Well I guess that is what the Kyuubi wanted to but I really don't like everyone thinking I am dead."

"It can't be avoided unless we want to have to constantly look over our shoulders for Akatsuki. But either way they will look for evidence that we faked your death so we have to find a way to disguise you." Hey kit I can help a little with your disguise it goes with a gift I am giving you. What is it? I am giving you my eyes. Your Eyes? Yes from now on when ever you channel my chakra you will gain my vision the more of my chakra you channel the stronger my eyes become but be careful your body in its current condition can not handle much of my chakra and if you try to draw too much it will damage your body and cause you unimaginable pain. What will having your eyes do for me. Channel a small amount of my chakra it doesn't matter how just as long as you draw on it tell the old man first though so he doesn't freak out when your appearance changes.

"Ero-sennin the Kyuubi says that she can help with the disguise so don't freak out ok?" Jiraiya just nodded as Naruto started to channel the Kyuubi's chakra into his hand just like a Rasengan and suddenly red Chakra burst threw his hand visibly burning the skin away before Naruto was able to stop the flow of Chakra.

"What happened?" Jiraiya asked as he took his students hand and started using the little medical jutsu he knew to heal Naruto's hand. You Idiot I told you only a little bit, channel enough chakra to your feet too walk up a wall no more ok?

"I sort of over did it" He said with his trademark fox grin after his hand was healed Naruto slowly focused a small amount of the fox chakra into the bottom of his feet Jiraiya was motionless as he watched his students unruly blond hair change black in front of his eyes then at the tip of every one of the spikes of his hair turned a blood red but that was not the most disturbing part Naruto's eyes were no longer the deep blue eyes he was used to but now they were red with black slits just like the Kyuubi. Nothing seams different. Oh believe me it is ask him to do the first kata of the frog style for you. How will that help? Just believe me. "Um Ero-sennin could you please do the first kata of the frog style."

"Why and how do you know about the frog style?"

"The Kyuubi said that it would help me see what my new eyes do."

"O so there is a point to those.." Jiraiya paused not wanting to tell him that the eyes scared the shit out of him "eyes" he finished with nothing better to say Naruto nodded "I guess so" he said as he turned towards the center of the room then took a very odd stance and as soon as he stared moving Naruto's jaw dropped and it wasn't because of the odd motions that the old pervert was making in front of him it was the fact that he could see his sensei's chakra move into the space that he was about to occupy a split second before he got there enabling Naruto to predict every motion that Jiraiya would make. Now do you understand? ya I can see where he is going to be before he gets there Yes and no everyone no matter if they are a civilian or a Kage project at least a small amount of chakra to the area they intend there body to be next that is what gives everyone a sense of balance for example when you get pushed from behind or trip you fall over because you are not able to project any chakra into the area before you get there because you aren't planning on going there. Ok I get it but why couldn't I see it before he started his doing the Kata if every one does that when they move? Because with the little amount of my chakra you are channeling right now you can only see it if there is a larger amount of chakra being projected. When people are just walking they naturally project a very little bit of chakra because there is very little force in there movements but the more force in your movements the more chakra you have to project. Ok well how am I supposed to be able to get these eyes to the point where I can see the small amounts if I cant channel a large amount of your chakra without hurting myself. We will train your body to handle more of my chakra so from now until the end of your training trip you are not to stop channeling at least a little bit of my chakra and as you are able to handle more of my chakra there are a few things that I will teach you. Oh and one other little bonus it doesn't matter how much light there is you will always be able to see perfectly. Right as the Kyuubi stopped talking Jiraiya finished his exercise.

"So did you figure it out?"

"Yep" Naruto said with a big smile on his face then he continued to tell Jiraiya about how his eyes worked and that he was not allowed to stop channeling the fox's chakra.

"Well unfortunately your eyes will be like a magnet for Akatsuki but I guess you could just wear a mask from now on. I think I have a blank ANBU mask around hear." Jiraiya said as he searched through his sack pulling out a scroll and wiping blood across it causing a blank mask to appear. He handed it to Naruto "channel some Chakra into this." Naruto closed his eyes and channeled chakra into the blank mask causing the mask to reveal blood red markings that made it look like a fox mask. "Ha well I cant say that surprises me. Now I get to tell you what we are going to be doing for training."

"Let me guess Ero-Sennin you are going to give me a task with almost no guidance and run off and look at naked women until I complete the task then we will repeat the process."

"I really wish you would stop calling me that and no where we are going to be working there will be plenty of time for me to look at naked women when we are done."

"Ha don't make me laugh I will stop calling you that when you stop acting like a perv."

"Fine but anyways you will become my apprentice and help me run my spy network and gather information."

"How is that supposed to be training."

"That is because we will be traveling all over the elemental nation taking A and S rank assassination sabotage and spying missions."

"Ya right that is usually given to a countries elite ninja they would not give something like that to a foreign ninja plus there is no way I could do A and S ranked missions."

"Yes, Normally you would be right, countries almost never give foreign ninjas important missions. But over my travels I have created myself another identity which is one of the most sought after assassin's in the world I go by the Hermit and I am always welcomed into any hidden village and paid handsomely to take missions that no one else wants to do. And as far as you not being able to handle that kind of mission you are right yet again but we will be changing that, we will head to the Snow country and we will train you for the next year."

"Ok I guess but why the snow country."

"Because we will be training on top of the highest mountain in the elemental Nations Mount Fujicana. Oh and Naruto."

"Yes?"

"This is going to be the worst year of your life." Jiraiya said with an evil grin on his face causing Naruto to second guess going on this trip though he really didn't have a choice. "Ok then you seem fine let's head out to the hidden sand village we need to get you something other than that dam orange suit and pick you up some supplies. Put your mask on." While Naruto was putting on his mask Jiraiya shouldered his back pack and the two ninjas took off across the desert heading for the Suna.
