Tsunade, Orochimaru and Jiraiya sat outside the academy waiting for their first lesson. Their instructor was ten minutes late and didn't seem like he was coming. But, after about a moment more, he appeared. He was a rather good looking man. He had tan skin, dark brown hair and slight eyes. He wore a robe and pants with wooden sandals. He smiled at the three children who stood before him. "Hello, students. I am your instructor,

Sarotobi. Now before we start our first lesson today, I want to hear your goals. Let's start with you," Sarotobi said as he pointed to Tsunade.

Tsunade sighed and said, "Pass. I have not future goals."

"O, c'mon. You must have one future goal."

Tsunade blushed and twittled her thumbs and said timidly, "well…I do have one goal."

"And what is that?"

Tsunade gave a very serious look and stood up proudly. "I want to become the strongest person in the world! Where no one can match my strength. And no boy dares to oppose me!" Sarotobi chuckled at this remark and said, "ok, ummm how about you?" he spoke as he pointed to Orochimaru."

"My goals are private. None of which you can help me with."

"Alright."

"And finally, what are your goals?" Sarotobi looked at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya made a face of utter intensity and avowed tensely, "I want to….BE ABLE TO BE THE BIGGEST PIMP IN THE WORLD! ONE WHO HAS A LOT OF LADIES WITH BIG BOOBS!"

Sarotobi and Tsunade fell over while Orochimaru looked away in embarrassment and disgust.

"That's not a goal!" Sarotobi yelled as his face was slowly getting redder and redder."

Tsunade muttered, "ugh, Jiraiya you're such an idiot sometimes."

"What? What did I do?"

Sarotobi gave a heavy sigh and said, "Alright. Let's begin."

tinkle tinkle

Sarotobi whipped out two small silver bells for everyone to spectate. "Today, your mission is to gather these two bells from me. If you don't get one---"

"One must go to the log," Orochimaru said as he cocked his head towards three huge logs planted in the ground."

"Correct, Orochimaru."

Tsunade raised her hand. "But sir, there's only two bells. Which means—"

"Which means that inevitably at least one person will be tied to the log."

Jiraiya smirked and put up his fist in a victorious manner. "ALRIGHT. I'm gonna get the bell for sure than."

"Now, before all of you try first stretch and do any five minute practicing that you need to."

Jiraiya smirked and said, "We don't need any stretching old man. We can take you on in our sleep!"

"Very well. If you insist."

Jiraiya immediately charged at Sarotobi. "EAT THIS!" Jiraiya smiled as his hand was just about to clasp over the pair of bells when HE SPONTANEOUSLY did a face plant.

The training went on until the sun began to set. Everyone was tired- especially Jiraiya. He had cuts and bruises all over him. Tsunade and Orochimaru each held a bell in hand. Tsunade gave a smirk and waved the bell tauntingly in front of Jiraiya's face. "Well, Jiraiya, it looks like I won the bet!"

Jiraiya gave a pout face and muttered, "Shut up…no breasted Tsunade!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Jiraiya and Tsunade started fighting only using legs, seeing as Jiraiya was the one tied to the log and could not move his arms.

"Hey!" Sarotobi voiced, "The two of you stop. Tsunade and Orochimaru go home." Sarotobi turned to Jiraiya and gave a tired sigh. Once Tsunade and Orochimaru were gone, Sarotobi spoke up.

"Jiraiya, a ninja must not fall into obvious traps, you fell into almost all of them. Why don't you be more like Orochimaru?"

That remark set Jiraiya's teeth on edge. He gave a grunt and bellowed, "Sensei! It's always about Orochimaru isn't it? It's only been a week and all you've talked about his him! Besides…" Jiraiya turned his face to a side as if to look away and muttered, "Besides, whenever I go peeking, I use my cloaking jutsu and have never gotten caught."

"Never?" Sarotobi said as he raised an eyebrow.

"Never!"

"Well then, if that's the case…" Sarotobi's face turned beet red, "I will accompany you on your next trip."

"Sarotobi….you pervert."

NEXT DAY

There was no school today but Jiraiya had somewhere to go- the women's bath house. He said good bye to his parents that morning and headed toward the end of town. When he could see the faint line of haze coming from the steaming hot springs, he ran to the entrance bridge and waited. After only a few moments of standing around, Sarotobi walked up in his usual attire with his face slightly red. "So, we ready?"

Jiraiya nodded and got into stance. "Cloaking jutsu!" After a few moments, Sarotobi said, "nothing happened."

"Try to talk to someone."

Sarotobi raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't know what your up to, this is ridiculous."

Just then a woman walked by holding baskets. Sarotobi approached her and tried greeting her, she did not respond. "Maybe she thinks I'm someone else." Sarotobi got in front of the woman and greeted her again. The woman brushed passed him as if he was not there.

"Ooooohh….I get it. We're invisible. Hmmm…it's rare for someone, especially someone like Jiraiya to have this talent at such a young age."

"You coming or not old man?"

"Yah, yah. Ok, I believe you, let's go."

Jiraiya and Sarotobi headed down to the main bath houses passing several young women, some young enough to be called girls in towels. While Jiraiya was practically unphased, Sarotobi was already redder than beet red. Jiraiya gave a snuff in disbelief. "Wow, this is pathetic. Not even I'm this bad. I bet he's a virgin."

After a little while, they approached the bath house door that had the sign "women's bath" in front of it. Jiraiya made for the door and then withdrew when he saw that Sarotobi stood stalk still in front of the building.

"Hello? What are you doing?"

"I…I don't know if I can do this. Besides! What if someone sees us opening the door when no one's in the door way?"

Jiraiya smirked and said, "This is where the second phase of my ingenious ninja skills come into play. It's more or less pointless for this but I know it'll be useful in the future."

Once again Jiraiya got into stance and said, "Hurry and grab one of my hands."

"Transparent jutsu!"

Again it seemed like nothing happened. Jiraiya and Sarotobi didn't look transparent but they certainly were for Jiraiya walked right through the door as if he were a ghost.

"This kid continues to amaze. Popping one jutsu out after the other…"

Sarotobi followed in and immediately felt a wave of hot, moist air. Instantly the bath house was revealed filled with plenty of women. Jiraiya's face turned slightly red and Sarotobi became so flustered he almost fell over. Sarotobi made a short sudden gasp as a girl walked so close to him that they were able to brush cheeks when the woman walked right through him. The two found seats on two nicely sized rocks. They sat and oggeled over every female for what seemed like forever on a mental capacity. Neither said anything to each other knowing already the words that were in their minds.

It was when the sky turned a light pink when Jiraiya said something. "Satisfied?" he mused airily.

"Just a little longer."

It was then that a girl came to sit on the rock that Sarotobi was seated on. He made no attempt to move knowing that the girl would go right through.

But to his horror, the girl stopped in midair. Her legs were not fading through Sarotobi's body. The girl got up and started waving at the air around the rock. Her hand snapped back as she felt something hard in midair- Sarotobi's face. She screamed. A pair of feet with wooden sandals appeared on the ground with no other attachments.

Within moments, both Jiraiya and Sarotobi were fully visible. The rest of their bath visit deemed them as 'perverts' and plenty of bruising. Both walked home trampled still mostly satisfied with their day.

When Sarotobi and Jiraiya and were in front of Jiraiya's house, Jiraiya asked quietly, "so, are you coming with me on future trips, sensei? Jiraiya waited eagerly to hear 'yes'."

Sarotobi stood still for a moment and said, "No. I think I've gotten my fill for a while."

Jiraiya stared up in bewilderment, "what?"

Sarotobi gave a friendly smile and said, "But I'm glad you took me. See you tomorrow for training." Sarotobi walked in the sunset, happy that he had bonded with one of his students and irritable at the pain he felt from the relentless beatings of all the women in the bath house.

Jiraiya smiled as Sarotobi walked off knowing that deep down, Sarotobi was a good guy and not the pervert that Jiraiya took him for. With one last glance, Jiraiya headed into the house.
