Chapter 3: A new training!
"Whaddya want Sarutobi-Sensei?"Asked Jiraiya rudely.
"I want a one-on-one match with you Jiraiya" said Sarutobi-Sensei in his usual calm voice.
"If you insist." Jiraiya was struggling to keep the excitement out of his voice. "This is my time to shine! Here goes nothing!" Jiraiya thought as the two got into position.
"Go!" shouted Sarutobi as he took of his cloak. Jiraiya lunged at him but Sarutobi-Sensei just punched him back. Jiraiya lunged again, but this time his sensei was not so kind. "Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Sarutobi shouted as ten replicas of him came out of thin air.
"Shit!" thought Jiraiya, as he got kicked away by two of the clones. Just then a shuriken came flying at Jiraiya. "You can't get rid of me THAT easily!" exclaimed Jiraiya now very confident.
Sarutobi threw another shuriken but this time he shouted "Kage bunshin no jutsu! Shuriken!" Every single Sarutobi threw one shuriken which expanded into another one at the words of the jutsu. Just as the battle had started, it had ended and Jiraiya was pinned to the cool grass by shurikens. "Good night" Said the teacher solemnly as he was gone with a poof of smoke.
"WHAT THE HELL! LET ME UP SENSEI! LET ME UP NOW!" shouted an infuriated Jiraya. But no one came. He fell asleep an hour later after much shouting for his sensei to come back.
The next morning Jiraiya was awakened by a kick in the ribs. "Good morning!" said Tsunade, clearly mocking Jiraiya.
"Shut up" Said jiraiya, as Tsunade lifted the shurikens off the ground. By this point she was almost rolling on the grass laughing. "Where's Orochimaru?" asked Jiraiya?
"Who knows?" asked Tsunade, a little more serious now.
"About yesterday." Said Jiraiya nervously. "Um, I just wanted to ask again if you would err go out with me sometime?" asked the twelve year old boy, hoping the answer was yes. After all, 73rd times the charm!
"Fine, I will meet you at the ramen shop tonight for dinner. Alright?" said Tsunade. It was unclear weather she just wanted him off her back or if she really had changed her mind.
"Yesss" thought Jiraiya, as he said "Sounds good, Tsunade-Chan!" He was obviously very excited.
"Where is Orochimaru?" asked a deep voice from behind. "Hello Jiraiya. Tsunade."
"We have no idea." Said Tsunade, hoping just because Orochimaru was late they wouldn't all be punished.
"Little brat." Said Jiraiya. "Probably just trying to make us all suffer."
"Don't say that Jiraiya!" exclaimed Tsunade. "Deep down Orochimaru's really sweet!"
Jiraiya laughed. "If you say so." Just then a dark figure walked up to the team, drenched in sweat.
"I am sorry that I am late. I wanted to get a little more training in before I came." Orochimaru said, as he panted for breath.
"It's alright" Said the teacher. "Today, we will be learning a very special jutsu." Sarutobi-Sensei went on. "It is called Ninja art: Summoning Jutsu!" Just then a monkey popped out of thin air. "He will be your teacher for this jutsu." The teacher said as he indicated the brown monkey to his side. All three of the genin looked as though they had just seen a ghost! "Now to begin." Said the monkey in a voice like that of the children's teacher.
