Whiteicewolf: I do not own Naruto
Shizune and the kids had successfully gotten the sake away from Tsunade, and were now trying to let Tsunade sober up, from the sake she consumed.
"You aren't going to make us go back, are you" Hinata asked, she didn't want to go back to the Hyuga compound, where the cruel elders were and her father, sure her sister was kind to her, but she knew that she will eventually have to fight her sister for position of clan head, but she couldn't stand to hurt her little sister. That wasn't the only thing, Gaara and Fu being jinchuriki, if Suna and Taki heard that they were alive Gaara's father will surely try to send assasins to kill Gaara and the ninjas from Taki might do the same thing. Then Guren, Kimimaro, Yukimaru, and Ranmaru will be alone to defend themselves.
"Don't worry I'm not going to make you go back" Tsunade stated "I'm sure you kids have good enough reason to leave" Hinata smiled at Tsunade's comment.
"With that aside, it's already late, you kids should go to bed" Tsunade commented
"Okay" Hinata said "Yukimaru, Ranmaru it's time to go to bed"
"Okay" they replied and Yukimaru started to get ready to go to sleep
Why isn't the other one getting ready for bed? Tsunade thought and then saw Kimimaro walking over to Ranmaru and picked him up and helped him to get to bed.
"Ranmaru can't walk" Gaara answered startling Tsunade
"What?" Tsunade said as she turned to face Gaara
"You were wondering why Ranmaru didn't start getting ready for the bed at the same time as Yukimaru, right" Gaara stated
Can this kid read minds, Tsunade thought as she looked at Gaara
"No I cannot read minds" Gaara replied
It's kind of hard not to think like that, Tsunade sweatdropped
"What do you mean Ranmaru can't walk" Tsunade asked
"Ranmaru was born with a weak body, his arm and legs aren't strong enough to carry him around, so one of us has to carry him everytime we travel" Tsunade looked at Ranmaru who was now being tucked into bed by Hinata.
"Anyway, I'm going to get the others ready for bed" Gaara said leaving Tsunade to her thoughts
The next day
The small group of kids and Tsunade, Shizune, and Tonton were now helping themselves to breakfast.
"So what are you kids going to do now" Tsunade asked
"You're not going to make us go back to Konoha" Hinata said
"Yep" Tsunade answered
"You're not going to tell Konoha that we're alive, right" Hinata asked again
"Don't worry, I'm not going to tell Konoha anything, besides going to Konoha is the last thing I want to do" Tsunade answered before taking a sip of sake
"Is it really okay for you to be drinking sake this early in the day" Gaara commented
"Of course it is" Tsunade laughed while chugging down the rest of the sake making the children sweatdrop
"Besides" Tsunade stated getting serious "I can't let a bunch of kids travel by themselves"
Where is she getting at? Haku thought
"So you kids are going to travel with us" Tsunade finished
"What?" Haku said
"You're going to be traveling with us" Tsunade repeated
"And I ask again. What?" Haku said , Yukimaru then tugged on Haku's sleeve
"Can we travel with them, I like playing with Tonton" Yukimaru said while holding the said pig in his arms
"Wait if you're holding Tonton who am I holding" Shizune said then she looked at the white furry animal in her arms that jumped into Ranmaru's arms
"Yuki! I was wondering where you went" Ranmaru said while petting Yuki
"Are animals even allowed in here" Kimimaro asked
"So are we okay with the traveling together" Tsunade said
"Uh, yeah" Haku answered
Meanwhile with Naruto and pervy sage
Naruto was currently trying to summon a toad again, but not having so much luck.
POOF!
Damn! It's another tadpole! Naruto thought while looking at the tadpole. While Jiraiya was overseeing Naruto's failing attempts of summoning a toad
"You know you don't have to watch me try to summon a toad, you can go do your 'research' if you want to" Naruto commented
"I'm surprised I'd expect you to yell if I go peek-I mean reasearch women" Jiraiya said
"I know that you're supposed to teach me, you're not going to hold my hand all the way" Naruto stated
Deidara and no-brows told me that when they started training me and the others, Naruto thought
"You're smart for your age" Jiraiya commented
"Why thank you" Naruto replied
"Whatever brat- wait a minute I never learned your name" Jiraiya said
"You just noticed" Naruto deadpanned
"DON'T JUDGE ME!" Jiraiya yelled before walking off mumbling about troublesome kids
"He didn't even wait for me to tell him my name" Naruto said
Just leave the old pervert to his peeping ways and just focus on the summoning jutsu, Kurama answered
"You're right" Naruto said before performing the summoning jutsu again
Later
Jiraiya had just finished his daily dose of peaking-er research and was going back to check up on the brat, but when he got there, he found that Naruto had passed out from chakra exhaustion.
It looks like the brat overdid it, Jiraiya thought before picking up the brat and taking him to the hotel room they stayed at
The next morning
Naruto woke up in a comfortable bed and was snuggling into his pillow.
Wait a minute, Naruto thought, Since when did the training grounds have a bed and a pillow, Naruto opened his eyes to see that he was in the hotel room that he and pervy sage were staying in.
Looks like pervy sage found me at the training grounds passed out and brought me here, how nice of him, Naruto thought looking around the room to see that Jiraiya was snoring away in his sleep. While Jiraiya was sleeping , Naruto was busy thinking on how he can succesfully summon a toad.
Maybe, I'm not adding enough chakra to it, but I don't exactly unlimited chakra, Naruto thought
You could borrow some of my chakra if you want kit, Kurama said
Really! You wouldn't mind, Naruto asked
I don't really mind, consider it my way of paying rent, Kurama replied
Thanks! Naruto was brought out of his conversation when Jiraiya started to wake up.
"Hey brat" Jiraiya yawned
"Hey pervy sage" Naruto greeted getting a tick mark to form on Jiraiya's forehead
"STOP CALLING ME THAT BRAT!" Jiraiya yelled
"Come on I want you to see me summon a toad" Naruto said while pulling Jiraiya out of bed
"What makes you think you can summon a toad today" Jiraiya mumbled
"Come on" Naruto said while pulling Jiraiya out of bed
"I'm coming, I'm coming" Jiraiya yawned "Just let me get dressed first"
Later
Jiraiya and Naruto were now at the place where Naruto always practiced.
You ready Kurama, Naruto thought
Yep, Kurama replied
"Hey brat" getting Naruto's attention
"What's your name, you never told me" Jiraiya said
"That's because you ran off before I could tell you" Naruto deadpanned
"Nevermind that, just tell me so I won't have to keep on calling you brat" Jiraiya said
"My name is Naruto, pervy sage" Naruto replied before makind the handsigns for the summoning jutsu
Naruto! Could he be!, Jiraiya's thought was interrupted when a gigantic toad appeared
"JIRAIYA HOW DARE YOU SUMMON ME!" Gamabunta yelled while looking around
"G-Gamabunta" Jiraiya said shocked that the brat could summon the toad boss.
"JIRAIYA! COME OUT YOU COWARD!" Gamabunta yelled while looking around for the pervert
"I better go before he sees me" Jiraiya said quietly walking away from the toad boss
"Jiraiya!" Gamabunta yelled
"Excuse me!" Naruto yelled trying to get a grip on Gamabunta's head
"Huh? What are you doing up there brat!" Gamabunta said
"I'm up here because I summoned you!" Naruto yelled
"What a brat like you summon me" Gamabunta laughed causing a tick mark to form on Naruto's forehead
"Don't make me laught, oh wait, you did" Gamabunta laughed again
"I did summon you!" Naruto yelled
"Tell you what brat, if you somehow manage to stay on my head until the sunsets then I'll acknowledge you as the new summoner" Gamabunta explained
"Does it have to be sunset, I mean, it is morning after all" Naruto said
"Fine noon then" Gamabunta said before he started to jump around wildly while Naruto was struggling to stay on Gamabunta's head
Meanwhile with Jiraiya
That brat can't be Naruto, sensei informed me that he died along with the Hyuga child, or it could be that someone read my first book and named their child after the main character, that book didn't sell very well maybe I should add some erotic detail- wait a minute! I'm getting off track! Jiraiya slapped himself to get him to think straight and not about his novels.
The brat does look a lot like Minato and he acts like Kushina, it could be him, but I can't exactly be sure, the only time I met Naruto was when he was a toddler I doubt he even remembers me, Jiraiya thought recalling the memory
Flashback
Jiraiya was visiting his sensei, who had to take the mantel of Hokage again, since his student had to seal the Kyubi into his son at the cost of his life.
It's been like 2-3 years since I last saw this place Jiraiya thought while looking over Konoha, it had been rebuilding ever since the Kyubi attack, it looked almost as it did before the attack.
I better go see the old man, Jiraiya thought as he headed for the hokage tower
Jiraiya entered the hokage's office to see his sensei working hard through the mountain of paperwork that was on his desk.
"Hey sensei" Jiraiya greeted
"Hello Jiraiya it's been awhile since I last saw you" Hiruzen stated "How have you been"
"Great I travelled saw the sights, the ladies" jiraiya giggled
"Grandpa" jiraiya looked behind him to see a spikey blond toddler walk into the Hokage's office
"Naruto, how are you" Hiruzen said as Naruto walked over to him
He looks just like Minato, Jiraiya thought while looking at Naruto
"Grandpa who's he" Naruto asked while pointing at jiraiya
"Naruto this is my student Jiraiya, say hello" Hiruzen said and watched as Naruto walked up to Jiraiya
"I'm Naruto, the future hokage, believe it!" Naruto greeted offering a hand to shake
And he acts just like Kushina, Jiraiya thought before shaking Naruto's hand
"It's nice to meet you Naruto" Jiraiya said
End flashback
I can't confirm anything, but he does look like Minato and does act like Kushina from time to time,plus the whisker marks, Jiraiya thought and was brought out of his thoughts when Gamabunta jumped right next to him
"AAAAHH" Jiraiya yelled in surprise
"Hey pervy sage!"
"JIRAIYA!" Gamabunta yelled
"AAAAAHHHH" Jiraiya yelled while desperately trying to run away from a furious Gamabunta.
"Hey boss" Naruto said tapping on Gamabunta's head, getting his attention.
"What!" Gamabunta replied
"It's noon" Naruto pointed at the sun
"Huh, well what do you know you actually managed to stay on my head" Gamabunta said
"I'll take that as a compliment" Naruto smiled
"Okay kid, I acknowledge you as the new summoner of the toads" Gamabunta said "Now to finalize this let's drink some sake!"
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I'M TO YOUNG TO DRINK!" Naruto said
"How old are you" Gamabunta asked
"I'm 9 but I'm going to turn 10 in a couple weeks" Naruto answered
"okay I'll drink for the both of us!" Gamabunta said
Is it really okay for toads to be drinking, but then again these are summons, Naruto thought
"Okay kid I'll see ya the next time you summon me, and it better be for a good reason and not for those weird dances that Jiraiya does!" Gamabunta said
"Okay" Naruto said
"See ya" Gamabunta said and then poofed away making Naruto fall on Jiraiya
"That hurt ya know!" Naruto said while standing up
"How do you think I feel" Jiraiya mumbled
"Anyway I sure showed you pervy sage, I told you I was going to be able to summon a toad" Naruto exclaimed
"Alright, alright. How about we go to lunch, it is noon, after all" Jiraiya said
"Great! What are we going to eat" Naruto asked
"How about ramen" Jiraiya suggested
"YAY! I love ramen!" Naruto yelled
Naruto and Jiraiya were now eating at a ramen stand- well Naruto was inhaling his ramen, Jiraiya was just sitting there with his mouth agape watching Naruto inhale the ramen.
BURP!
"That was good" Naruto said
Where does he put it all? Jiraiya was brought out of his thoughts when the ramen chef waved the bill in front of his face.
"Huh?" Jiraiya said
"The kid said you'd pay for his lunch" the chef said while pointing to the seat, that Naruto was in, only for it to have no one occupying it.
That brat!, Jiraiya thought and then he looked at the bill and his eyes nearly fell out of their sockets
How can one kid eat that much! Jiraiya thought before reluctantly paying the bill and walked to the hotel room to find the spikey haired blond there.
"Thanks for paying for the meal pervy sage" Naruto greeted
"Damn brat" Jiraiya mumbled before thinking about if Naruto is actually the Naruto that he met before.
"Hey Naruto" getting the blonde's attention "Which village did you come from"
"Well for one thing. What makes you think I used to live in a village" Naruto asked
Uh oh, Jiraiya thought
"I was just assuming" Jiraiya replied
"Oh" Naruto said
"Who were the people you were traveling with" Jiraiya asked
"I'd rather not tell you" Naruto replied
This kid isn't going to tell me anything, is he, Jiraiya thought
"So do you have any famil-"
"Enough with the 20 questions game Jiraiya" Naruto stated, Jiraiya noted that Naruto actually addressed him by his name.
"What are you talking about?" Jiraiya said
"You remember, don't you" Naruto said, it wasn't a question
"What are you talking about" Jiraiya asked
"Don't play with me Jiraiya, you remember the first time we met"
"At the hot springs"
"No" Naruto started to explained "Come on, I know you remember, you were the perverted student visiting his sensei, while I was the clueless little toddler you met"
"Naruto" Jiraiya said
"I can't believe it took you that long to figure out, I mean I remembered you after the first couple hours I spent with you, and I'd think you'd learn not to peak on women after all these years" Naruto said
"Naruto" Jiraiya growled
"Okay, okay, pervy sage, calm down" Jiraiya noted the nickname "I'm guessing you have a lot of questions"
"How are you alive, sensei said that you died" Jiraiya said
"Don't worry I'll tell you the whole story" Naruto said
This is going to be a long day, Naruto thought
Whiteicewolf: I'm sorry it took me awhile to update.
