Hello everyone. I felt bad about going two weeks without posting before so I'm trying to bring the next chapter out faster. Two in a week should make up for it right?

BTW, Naruto, someone gave you a virtual hug.

Naruto: A virtual hug? Yay, can I have it?

No….

Naruto: What why?

You have work to do. You can have it later.

Naruto: I want it NOW. (starts going Kyubi mode)

Mighty Author Punch. (Punches Naruto back behind fourth wall) Ok, now that that's over, on to the story.

Flash God Naruto

Chapter 5

Naruto sat on the ground in front of a stream on the rock filled ground. To say that he was embarrassed by what had happened this morning was the statement of a lifetime. He had cried in the arms of the last person he ever thought he would do that with.

It was strange by the fact that Sayuri had just let him cry. She made no witty comments on him being a cry baby or anything. She just let him cry into her shoulder. It was strange as he never figured her to be the comforting type at all. All she had ever done in their interactions before was either fight with him, make fun of him or completely ignore him.

He had cried badly when Iruka said something similar but he had a buffer to stop him from crying in uncontrollable happiness like he did with Sayuri. He had to pull himself together with Iruka because Mizuki was trying to kill him. With Sayuri, it wasn't a serious life threatening situation where he had to stop.

She was an odd person to say the least. After what happened today, he started to think more about her. Not in a platonic sense but in a way that he was trying to figure her out. With what happened, it was hard to get a read on what she was actually like under that cold and angry personality and mask that she keeps up.

Naruto always took her at face value, thinking that she was a bitch and never really tried to look underneath it all. He did know that she was lonely but he just never tried to look passed what he already saw. That the appearance she keeps up with people was how she actually was.

What he did know about her was that she is incredibly proud, stubborn to a point and distant to the point it seems like she is cold. She didn't like to seem weak and powerless while keeping up a strong appearance, granted Naruto never saw her as anything else, and strived to meet her goals.

Naruto never saw the other side of things. He couldn't see what was underneath all that and it interested him slightly to find out who she truly was. It kind of confused him but he always wanted to be friends with Sayuri. He just didn't know how to approach her before.

She could be nice when she wanted to, if this morning was anything to go by. She allowed him to cry till he felt better and said nothing to him about it. She was considerate enough in that fashion. So there were more sides to her than he knew and he wanted to see them.

He had also seemed to get over the fact that she was a girl now. The dream had really drove it him for him that Sayuri was no longer Sasuke. Hell that dream was embarrassing just to have but it was just that, a dream. It wasn't real but it still proved the point that he had to accept that Sayuri was a girl now.

Naruto really couldn't get his mind off Sayuri and that was the strange thing. Normally it was most just trying to think of different ways to one up Sayuri in sparring or in skill before actually trying to do what he thought up. Well that and what he was going to do that day and his own personal training. Now she wouldn't leave his mind and it bothered him slightly.

"Thinking about your little girlfriend, aren't ya, Naruto?" A voice came from behind him and his hairs stood on end. Naruto screamed out jumping as he didn't even notice anyone and flew forward. He looked back to see that Jiraiya was standing behind where he was sitting.

All thoughts left of Sayuri exited his mind and his formally good day was completely ruined as anger once again took precedent over anything else. He already knew who this man was and what he was to him. He had seen a picture of him in the Yondaime's journal and knew what he was in relation to him.

This man, he dared to appear in front of him after all this time and act casually at that. Did he not know what he has been going through his whole life? Did he not know the kind of hell everything was for him and that his life was just now only looking slightly better?

Jiraiya on the other hand, just stared at his godson for the first time in almost thirteen years and could already tell how pissed he was. The fact that Naruto's eyes were now red and him channeling some of the Kyubi's chakra was a very good indication of that.

It was also another indication that he failed both his godson and his student who was as close to a son as you could get. Naruto shouldn't have to look at him with that much anger nor should he have known nothing but pain. He should have been there and shown the boy what a family is.

"I wont make excuses. I have failed you Naruto. I know you already know who I am and no amount of apologies is going to make this any better." Jiraiya opened up the conversation with a sad seriousness and Naruto just glared at him.

He wanted to hear the man's excuses. He wanted him to explain himself in hopes that it would relieve some of his anger. This man was his godfather, someone he should of known about. He was happy to know that the man knew that no amount of apologies was going to fix it and excuses meant nothing, but he still wanted to hear them. They wouldn't help but at least give him reasons.

Since Naruto couldn't keep his mind occupied trying to understand Jiraiya's reasons or excuses, his anger just got a hold of him. He did the only thing possible and punched the man in the gut with a Kyubi amplified punch. This sent Jiraiya back a couple of feet even if he could of dodged.

"What the hell makes you think I want you in my life now? What gives you the right to appear in my life after abandoning me for my whole life? Did you even care about me? Did you even love me enough to not leave me alone? Ugh…" Naruto screamed out though pain shot through his body from his stomach which he clutched almost toppling over. It was much worse than the time he felt like this when he first saw Sayuri that day.

"Naruto?" Jiraiya asked as he looked up to see Naruto clutching his stomach where the seal was and seemed to be in pain. That meant the seal was not in the best of conditions and that was not a good thing for Naruto. He was instantly by Naruto's side a second later. "Naruto lift up your shirt. Let me see the seal."

"Don't touch me. I'm fine." Naruto said swatting his hands away but he was definitely not fine. His whole body felt like it was on fire with his stomach being the epicenter. His chakra control had been messed up ever since the encounter with that snake.

"Your definitely not fine. Something is wrong with the seal. It could cause you problems health wise and as a ninja so let me see it." Jiraiya said with worry in his voice. Naruto wasn't sure if it was towards him or the prospect of the Kyubi escaping or doing something.

Naruto sat back and pulled up his jacket and undershirt. The seal was visible with another seal over it. The skin around and under the seal were beat red. It was obviously the two seals counter acting both were causing the chakra to burn the whole area of his stomach.

'The Gogyo Fuin. Of course this would cause problems with an odd number seal over an even numbered seal. So the Uchiha wasn't the only one that got something from Orochimaru. This has his handiwork all over it with how rough this is.' Jiraiya thought to himself as it wasn't as bad as he thought.

"Alright Naruto, I can fix this but it might hurt." Jiraiya said but Naruto only groaned in annoyance. "Gogyo Kaiin." Jiraiya reared his hand back and smashed it into Naruto's stomach. Naruto coughed out as he slid back a little and clutched his stomach that was no longer red.

"Why the fuck did you hit me that hard?" Naruto yelled out before blinking to himself. He felt… normal… would probably be the best way to describe what he was feeling like. His chakra was acting normal and he didn't feel like he was weighted down.

"Brat, why didn't you tell anyone that you had another seal on you or that something was up? Do you know what could of happened to you if you let this go on?" Jiraiya sternly told him to which Naruto just glared at him but looked away as the man had a good point.

"I thought I was fine and that my chakra was just acting up. I thought it would disappear. Why does it matter to you anyways?" Naruto growled out as he didn't like it that Jiraiya was talking to him like that when he really didn't have a right to anymore.

"Do you have any idea what can happen if something like this was unattended to? You could have seriously got injured, lost your ability to be a ninja which would of lead to having the Kyubi extracted from you so there can be another Jinchuuriki or died." Jiraiya yelled out taking Naruto back by how much worry and seriousness was in his voice.

"I know I haven't even done anything for you but take some consideration about yourself. I care about you even though I wasn't here for you. I thought you were taken care of and I wasn't told about what was happening here. I should of checked up on you myself but don't be so careless with your body especially if something is going on with your chakra. I don't want to see you die like Minato did." Jiraiya said with worry and at the mention of Minato, he flinched a bit.

Naruto just stared at Jiraiya as he tried to gauge the man. It hurt for him to talk about his… father. He should of asked someone about what was going on with his chakra or at least let the Hokage know. He didn't think it was that serious because he normally healed or got over things in a couple of days. He was to wrapped up in his own training to really notice it that much.

"So why are you here Jiraiya?" Naruto asked as he sighed. He had been doing that a lot lately. He didn't quite know how to actually feel about the man passed his anger. It seemed that Jiraiya was genuinely worried about him and while he seemed to be looking for forgiveness, he was going to work and make up for everything rather than just asking for forgiveness.

"I want to at least help you with your training. I know how Minato explains things and I've been told that your… slow on things due to how you learned in the academy." 'One of the places I will be visiting eventually to get an explanation.' "I'm not going to start acting like a Godfather after all this time but I can at least make sure your strong enough." Jiraiya said and thought to Naruto and himself.

"Strong enough for what?" Naruto said to which Jiraiya silently cursed to himself that he caught that. Still, it was probably better for now to not hid things from him. It seemed that hiding things from Naruto has only done more harm than good.

"I'll be straight with you. You have a group of S-Rank ninja, nine in total if my information is right, after the Kyubi that is inside of you." Jiraiya stated to which Naruto just stared at him with wide eyes. S-Rank ninja were stronger than Kakashi. Just fucking great.

"Awesome. Another thing that having the Kyubi gives me." Naruto said under his breath as he ignored the previous shot at his intelligence that Jiraiya said. At least he didn't outright call him an idiot.

"So, what are you working on? Normally I would try getting you better used to the Kyubi's chakra because that would give you something to be able to quickly use against Akatsuki but it will get in the way of what your working on for the Chunin Exams." Jiraiya stated with a serious tone and Naruto thought about it.

"I've been working on the Taijutsu style he has in his Journal as well as making a special type of Shunshin that's just mine. It was talking about you need something special to use the highest speed it gives to a person without getting all weird in the eye department." Naruto said while rubbing the back of his head and Jiraiya felt like he should explain what he meant in more detail. The Sandaime was right in saying he wasn't a technical person.

"That's true. To use the Shunshin in battle, a normal person has to decrease the amount of speed generated by the technique to the most the body can handle before getting to the point where they get tunnel vision. Its true that you need a work around such as increasing the rate at which the brain processes and responds to the what the eye sees like how the current Raikage increases his reflexes with the Raiton no Yaroi or have a Dojutsu." Jiraiya said as he hummed over everything as Naruto looked at him with a confused expression on his face with question marks over his head.

"So what have you been planning as a work around brat? I doubt that you could suddenly gain a dojutsu." Jiraiya said in wonder as this reminded him slightly of what Minato talked about when he recreated the Hiraishin.

"I was planning on seeing what my affinity is and then trying to incorporate the two with special feet movements. Don't know much else I can do except using Fuinjutsu to increase my visual processes like the Sharingan." Naruto said scratching his head at this.

"That's cognitive ability through sight brat but what do you mean by Fuinjutsu to recreate the visual aspects of the Sharingan?" Jiraiya asked as doing something like that would be utterly impressive and almost impossible.

"Oh, its just the ability to take in information through sight like how it can read movement or whatever. I really don't remember the exact words." Naruto said with a rather hard look as if he was trying to recall everything. Jiraiya just sweat dropped at this.

"Something like that is going to be hard and almost impossible to do. You would need to be a Fuin Master to do something like that and it would take forever to do that." Jiraiya stated and this is where Jiraiya was confused because it looked like Naruto wasn't concerned.

"I already did that. It wasn't that hard Jiraiya." Naruto said with a snort of annoyance at the idea he couldn't do something and Jiraiya blinked at this confused. "All I did was take some seals for information gather and some key seals which fit with the other ones and it worked."

"Kid, do you even know what those seals actually do or do you actually understand what sealing is?" Jiraiya said with a sweat drop.

"Nope, I didn't get any of the technical stuff. Fuinjutsu is just a puzzle really. You take parts and other things and match them. You just have to see if they work." Naruto stated to which Jiraiya's mouth just dropped. This kid made the most complex art in the world and made it seem like a game. This kid really didn't seem to have any fear.

"Your just like your mother. You have no fear for things." Jiraiya said with a deadpan at this information. Naruto tilted his head at this but didn't ask. "So before we get started with the whole training thing as I can help with that, I got a question."

"Go ahead." Naruto said as a simple question wouldn't hurt.

"How was it to cry your eyes out in the breast of a cute little girl like that?" Jiraiya asked with a perverted chuckle to which Naruto's face went red.

"You saw that?" Naruto yelled out in embarrassment. Jiraiya just chuckled as he nodded. "She ain't cute. She's miss cold ice queen. Why would it matter? I was happy to know at least another person doesn't think less of me because of the Kyubi but that's it."

"I think you should go for her. Most girls like that have a cold exterior usually have a kind and caring interior. Plus she's pretty good looking for her age. If I was that young, I would go after her." Jiraiya stated making Naruto look at him with bug eyes.

"Ew… aren't you like fifty you old fart? That's gross you pedo." Naruto said as he was starting to loose even more respect for the old man.

"Oi, I'm not into young women. She just looks rather mature for her age and stating a fact. I would never touch a girl or even think of someone that age in anything but that they are a brat like you." Jiraiya stated as he was taken aback by his godson's statement and grossed out. "Though that doesn't mean you haven't done anything. Have you tried anything with her. I saw that touching scene. Come on, spill for your godfather."

"Hell no, were twelve damn it. Your just a pervert…. Wait, you also travel…. You're an Ero-Sennin, aren't you?" Naruto said childishly to which Jiraiya twitched in annoyance at the name.

"Oi, I'm not just a pervert, I'm a super pervert…. Wait that came out wrong, don't call me a pervert at all you brat. Call me that again and I will beat you three ways to Sunday." Jiraiya yelled back to Naruto who twitched in annoyance at this.

"Oh yeah, like some old pervert like you could do anything but probably peep on girls or something." Naruto stated back to the older one of the two. This would start a long stream of insults back and forth at each other that probably wouldn't end for a while.

Elsewhere

Sakura sat on her bed with her legs up at her chest. She had a lot of things on her mind now that she had time off. The whole thing about her crush being a girl wasn't even what was on her mind really. It was a shocker that turned her world on its head but that's not what she was thinking about now.

No, she had lost her chance at being in the Chunin exams finals and they had opened her mind to herself. Now that Sasuke… no Sayuri, wasn't on her mind anymore she had realized some things. She had realized her short comings as a Kunoichi and how pathetic she is.

She had totally lost her way with her obsession over Sayuri that she became so pathetic. She had spent so much time over her looks that she didn't do anything. She had become a ninja to make her parents proud of her and to live up to them. She couldn't believe herself.

She didn't do any training outside of what was asked. She never really drove herself in the ground a lot because she didn't want to smell or get dirty should Sayuri see her. She even wondered if she had any skill to be a ninja at this rate. She had barely tied Ino in their match.

That was another wake up call for her. All she had was complete useless against Ino and her Taijutsu was better. It meant that she actually tried to improve even if she was going for Sayuri's affections. She also lost a great friend because of herself.

Ino's skills were more team oriented with the need of someone to hold down the target so she could transfer. She was able to transfer her mind even without her team by laying down a trap. The only reason she got out of the mind transfer Jutsu is because Ino was weakened and because Naruto cheered for her, awakening her inner mind to fight off Ino.

She was so behind everyone and that made her feel worse. Everyone seemed so far away that she didn't like it. She didn't want to keep looking at everyone's back and having to rely on them to save her. She wouldn't allow them to get her because of her anymore when she should be helping them. The question is how?

"I'll ask Hokage-sama for help." It was the only thing she could do. Kakashi-Sensei was out training Sayuri now and they returned just to sleep for the night. She never saw them and Naruto was even worse then them. She hadn't seen hide or hair of the blonde. So she steeled herself and headed to the Hokage's office to see if he could give her an idea of where she should start.
