Demon/summon thoughts
"Training my godson," repeated Naruto as if to get a feel for it. "Sound like a bad parody," he commented before breaking the stasis seal holding him along with Reina's and Haku's before walking off in no general direction in particular.
Jiraya raised an eyebrow at the behavior, "What, no hugs? no running to my arms crying grandpa?"
Naruto looked over his shoulder briefly almost to check if it was a bad joke or not.
"If you didn't want to be my godfather 7 years ago then what's the point of it now?"
And with that said he walked off leaving Jiraya alone to ponder his thoughts.
-At Ichiraku's ramen stand-
"You know Naruto, he wasn't lying right?" said Reina.
"Yes, I'm aware," he commented before returning his attention to his bowl of noodles.
"You should really give him a chance," said Haku, throwing her two cents in before returning to her own bowl of noodles.
Naruto pondered the thought for a second before dismissing it entirely.
"He can act like my godfather if he wants but it'll make no difference to me."
Both Haku and Reina were a bit unnerved by his announcement but seeing as it was his choice and not their own, they chose not to comment.
-Meanwhile at the hokage's office-
Sarutobi was a bit startled when Jiraya suddenly jumped through his window with an expression that could make fish seem cheery.
"How did he take it?" asked Sarutobi.
Jiraya just looked up for a moment before looking back down at the floor.
"That bad?"
"Yeah, he acted as if he didn't even care one bit," Jiraya replied in a somber voice.
Sarutobi gave him a look of understanding before returning back to his work.
"You know his life hasn't exactly been bad," for a moment Jiraya seemed to brighten up "It was a lot worse than 'bad' could describe" continued Sarutobi causing Jiraya to look down again, "The civilians would torment him worse than Ikibi would, but at least now that he's considered a Shinobi, it's against the law to treat a Shinobi that way."
After Sarutobi's comment, Jiraya just looked out the window before jumping out and leaving the hokage by himself.
"Hope he doesn't do anything too stupid," commented Sarutobi to no one in particular.
-With Naruto-
With lunch over the trio went back to the training grounds to wait for Jiraya after Naruto comment that he was still their sensei regardless of any relations he may have to them.
"I wonder where he is..." comment Haku as she balanced a kunai on the tip of her nose with chakra.
"Haku you shouldn't do that, one day you'll lose focus for a second then poke your eye out," Haku grabbed the kunai with her hand before looking over at Reina as they both burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, that's a good one," said Haku while catching her breath.
"Hahaha yes, yes it was," said Reina before commenting "Where's Naruto?"
Both of them looked over to see Naruto practicing with his 10 blades, as Jiraya seemed to be questioning him on how it worked.
"Simply to put it, the puppeteers in Suna can do plenty with kunai and puppets so why can't a normal person just control a plain double sided blade? with a bit of wind chakra and some chakra strings you could keep them up in the air and attack and enemy with them while moving around to avoid attacks, If you add a few extra jutsu's I also use in with them you can also make them a bit faster," he explained while lazily spinning all of them making them look like a giant spinning circle.
Jiraya seemed to be pondering it before deciding it was quite simple and that just no one had ever thought of ever doing it with blades that had no handles.
"Alright so because I have only a slight Idea of your skills, would you all mind giving me a short summary of your skills?"
Reina and Haku looked to Naruto before receiving a small nod.
Jiraya turned to Naruto indicating he was first.
"Basically I like to focus on overall large offensive techniques and attacks such as using my blades to massacre large amounts of people while being fast enough to have them see nothing but my blades the whole time, and using jutsu and releasing my limiters as I see fit to dispatch of the slightly... more challenging enemies," Jiraya looked at him for a second before asking.
"What limiters do you have on at the moment?"
"Currently I'm working with 5 separate chakra limiters, and 10x gravity," replied Naruto trying to keep it vague as possible.
"And how does the different look happen that I've heard of so much when hearing about 'Ren Akashiya'?" asked Jiraya, trying to pry a little deeper.
"Demonic chakra has slight... side affects, but nothing you have to worry about," he replied briefly before indicating to Reina to start.
"I stay by Naruto and take out anything he misses, my main weapons are chakra controlled gauntlets," she said indicating to a pair of hidden gauntlets under her sleeves "They lengthen and contract depending on how much chakra I put into them, and they're covered in paralyzing poison for when we're hired to capture missing nin, and I also specialize in speed." said Reina, finishing with a huff.
Seeing that Reina was done, Haku started, "I specialize in speed and stealth and normally I go in before Naruto does to scout recon and mark main targets with a small demonic chakra beacon that only Reina, Naruto and I can sense, I use several different types of poison on my senbon sometimes equipped with ninja wire to restrain targets," said Haku, before finishing with a sigh of boredom.
"So I'm guessing Reina is 'Shadow' and Haku would be 'Ghost'?" commented Jiraya.
"Yes I suppose that would be their 'should-be' names," commented Naruto before asking, "So what exactly makes you a 'legendary sannin'?"
"I specialize in stealth tactics and large offensive jutsu, along with Toad summoning," said Jiraya while giggling slightly when mentioning stealth.
"I guess we know why you're called the 'toad sage' now," said Naruto on an offhand note.
After sharing a few more lines of information, Jiraya instructed them to meet at the same place tomorrow at noon for a light demonstration of their skills and his own before grabbing their first mission.
-Back at their apartment-
"Naruto, do you suppose Jiraya will actually be able to teach us anything? or will it just be us doing the same thing as always but with just 1 extra person," asked Reina.
Naruto just turned to look at her as they all lay in bed before responding, "I don't exactly know yet, we'll just have to find out."
And with that, they all just closed their eyes and fell into a dreamless night of bliss.
-The next day-
Naruto, Reina and Haku had been waiting at the training grounds for over an hour before Jiraya had decided to show up.
"Hello my young pupils!" exclaimed Jiraya before promptly hiding behind a bush as he was assaulted with kunai and senbon.
"What's with the rude welcome?" asked Jiraya, while hiding behind a bush.
Naruto simply pointed at the sun indicating that he had been late and that they would not put up with it.
Jiraya sweat dropped before speaking up.
"Alright for today's plan we're going to do a light drill then grab a mission depending on how well you do."
The trio looked at each other before looking back to Jiraya and giving a slight nod.
Walking into the clearing, Jiraya turned to face them before clearing his throat, "I'll be staying in the clearing while you three will try your best to subdue me and if you don't do it by 1 hour then we'll just grab a D rank."
Reina quickly flashed a look of annoyance at the mention of D rank missions while Haku simply chuckled at the old man's antics. Naruto on the other hand seemed indifferent the entire time before finally asking at the end,
"When do we start?"
Jiraya smiled before taking out a kunai and throwing it up in the air. Naruto, Haku and Reina saw the signal and flashed out of sight the second the kunai touched the ground.
Jiraya soon was dodging projectiles from every direction and seemed to barely be able to touch the ground as it was covered in traps.
Thinking they were trying their best Jiraya let out a laugh before asking, "Is that all you've got?"
Then all hell broke loose.
Naruto jumped out of a nearby tree quickly dashing past Jiraya causing slight confusion before Jiraya remembered his blades which came right after him.
Jiraya jumped back before quickly twisting mid air to avoid Reina's claws which seemed to know exactly where he would jump before becoming an inevitable for Haku's paralyzing senbon.
Jiraya fell to the ground twitching a bit but unable to move.
The three walked out of their respectable spots before grouping up right in front of Jiraya where Haku administered the antidote allowing Jiraya to move again.
"It would of worn off in a few hours, but I'm assuming you would want to move right away," explained Haku.
Jiraya just looked at them all before saying "Remind me never to underestimate you three ever again."
Naruto looked at him humorously before tapping his seal swinging lightly above his collarbone reminding Jiraya of their 'experienced' status that he seemed to have forgotten in the moment.
"Ah so I'm guessing you three won't be doing any D ranks?" he asked skeptically.
"No, but we are somewhat out of practice having spent the last few years in Konoha attending the academy with only light training and all," explained Naruto.
"So a light C rank sound fine to you guys?"
Naruto looked to Reina and Haku before giving Jiraya a nod before walking off towards the mission office.
-Mission Office-
Sarutobi was mildly amused at Iruka's actions when Jiraya had walked in with his team asking for a C rank the day after the team assignments had just been made.
"Jiraya! even if you are one of the sannin, 3 inexperienced gennin can not handle a C rank, besides you've had only 1 day which had to also include the gennin test, what could you have taught them?" Iruka shouted.
Without a hesitation Jiraya replied, "If during my gennin test they managed to incapacitate me, then I'm sure enough that they're qualified enough for a simple C ranked mission."
Iruka's mouth dropped as Sarutobi just chuckled before tossing Jiraya a scroll, "In there is a simple escort mission for a bridge builder to the Land of the Waves."
Jiraya looked over the scroll before walking out of the office with Naruto, Haku and Reina trailing not too far behind.
-In front of the Hokage's tower-
"We'll be meeting tomorrow in front of Konoha's gates where we'll meet the bridge builder at noon," Jiraya explained before continuing, "Pack for a weeklong mission and pack light," said Jiraya indicating that there was no need for heavy attack power on such a light mission.
The three nodded before disappearing respectively, Haku being enveloped by a glacier of ice before it shattered leaving nothing behind, while Naruto simply disappeared in a bright flash and Reina being enveloped in a column of red flames before dying down and leaving nothing behind, each making no sound at all.
"I've got to learn how to do that," muttered Jiraya before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
-The next day an hour before noon in front of Konoha gates-
Naruto, Reina and Haku were all in their fox forms relaxing under a nearby tree while waiting for Jiraya and the bridge builder.
"It's nice knowing we'll be out of the village for a while," commented Reina before laying her head down next to Naruto's.
"Sure is," commented Haku before doing the same on the other side.
Naruto simply gave a sigh of satisfaction before dozing off again.
An hour later Jiraya arrived escorting what seemed to be a very drunk and smelly man.
Reina woke Naruto and Haku before all reverting back behind a tree before walking into the clearing towards Jiraya and the bridge builder.
"This is all the protection I get?" exclaimed the bridge builder before remembering he had one of the legendary sannin also accompanying them.
Only giving a slight twitch of annoyance they turned to Jiraya, "Where are your packs?" asked Jiraya.
Naruto raised his right sleeve a bit showing a storage seal on his right shoulder before Haku and Reina did the same, indicating they had sealed all of their supplies in seals on their respective bodies.
Jiraya gave a nod before turning to the bridge builder and started his introduction, "My name is Jiraya and these are my students and we'll be guarding you until we arrive at the Land of the Waves."
The bridge builder gave them all a quick look before speaking up, "My name is Ta-"
"That won't be necessary" said Naruto, cutting him off.
"Very well," interrupted Jiraya, before Tazuna retort.
"If there's nothing else, let us be off."
And to the Land of the Waves they left off to.
A/N
Hahaha... so funny story, the chapter's been sitting on my desktop for weeks now... just never really bothered to do anything with it until now... so here it is.
To make a few things clear to those of you who seemed to never have read fanfiction before, it's complete fiction none of it has to relate to the real manga, I could make Naruto a Horse for all it's worth, though I like to keep a sense of reality and stick with the storyline somewhat, don't ask me to change it to follow the manga, If you want that then just go watch/read the manga instead of this.
Oh yeah... anyone want another lime? Just drop a yes/no in the review box and If I get over... say 5 or 6 then I'll write on in somewhere
