*dripping sarcasm* Yes, I own Kingdom Hearts and Naruto. Of course I don't, why did you ask?

Jiraiya stood in front of the council, not sure whether he should laugh his head off, or pity the sad minds who had suggested it. "Look, I understand where you're coming from, but this is me we're talking about, if I became Hokage I would probably turn all of Konoha inside out before the weekend."

One of the elders, a civilian elder stood up, "Be that as it may, but you are by far the best candidate in the village at the moment."

Jiraiya laughed, "You have got to be kidding me! Look, at this moment, Naruto would do a better job at being Hokage than I would."

The civilian members of the council darkened. "How dare you even suggest that that demon be given the title of Hokage! Do you want to disgrace the names of all those that came before us? Do you want Konoha to be nothing but a burning pile of rubble!? As long as I am in this council, I swear to never let the Demon even try for the title!"

Jiraiya wanted to shove a Rasengan down the man's throat. "That 'Demon' as you call him, single handedly stopped Gaara of the sand, from changing into a huge one-tailed sand monster, saved forty Genin, healed a boy that doctors said could never be a Shinobi again, helped the Sandaime with his fight against Orochimaru, and then declined a promotion to become a Chunnin. Would a demon even bother with that?" Jiraiya said, opening a can of killer intent, which froze the civilian to his feet. "Would a demon try to save a man who put the Yondaime into power? Would a demon protect the village he was intent on destroying?! But of course you are too blind and ignorant to see the difference between the boy and the fox." Jiraiya cut off the KI and the elder fell back into his chair, twitching. "And just for reference sake, I wasn't saying Naruto should be Hokage yet. I know someone who could take the job."

"Who?"

"Well, I'll only do it on one condition…"

Hinata was outside Naruto's door, waiting to talk to him. She felt ashamed of herself that she fell for the Genjutsu that that Kabuto guy pulled, but she also felt ashamed that she wasn't there to comfort Naruto when Sandaime died. Now she was waiting, waiting for Naruto to finally come out. She was never going to pry into the shell he had made, but she would be there when he finally opened up.

Haku came out of his room with lunch, he promised her that he'd provide the food while she was on her vigil. Today lunch was three rice balls with fish that had been fried, spiced with several herbs that made Hinata's mouth water just by the smell of it.

"So he still hasn't come out yet, huh?" Haku asked as he sat on one of the chairs he had set up in front of Naruto's door.

"N-No… He hasn't." Hinata said.

Haku sighed, "I feel so sorry for him, Hiruzen Sarutobi was probably the closest thing Naruto had for a father, and now, he's gone."

"I know w-what that must be like," Hinata said, "My mother died when I was very young."

"Yeah, well at least your mother wasn't killed by your father." Haku said.

"I-I'm sorry." Hinata said.

"Oh, don't worry about it, I've moved on, but still…" Haku said, a tear forming in his eye, "Well, I better go see to Kakashi-sensei, tell him you and Naruto won't be showing up."

"Th-thank you Haku." She called after him.

So she sat and waited, the minutes went by agonizingly slow, but she waited. She finished her lunch, and putting it to the side, began thinking over how she should tell him about what Kairi had given her. She did not have too much time to think about it, however, when her bladder caused a sting of pain through her abdomen. She tried to ignore it, but her bladder was a very fierce opponent. Hinata quickly looked at the door to Naruto's room, looked down the hallway, which led to the bathrooms downstairs, looked at the door, then looked down the hallway, wondering if she should go relieve herself, or wait for Naruto to come out.

Her bladder complained again.

"Naruto probably won't come out for a while, anyways." She thought to herself before heading down the hallway. She went passed a man with spiky white hair, a red jacket, and a large scroll on his back.

Jiraiya went to Naruto's door, and opened it without a second thought. Naruto was sitting on the edge of his bed, his head in his hands, and after a couple of seconds of Jiraiya standing there, he looked up. His once blue and energetic eyes were now sad and red from crying. His face was neutral, but his eyes said it all. "Oh, hello, Jiraiya-sensei…" Naruto half mumbled.

Jiraiya sighed, "Look, Gaki, I understand that Sandaime was like a father to you, he was like that to me, but if you continue to sit there and mope, you'll never be able to honor his memory by doing what he wanted you to do."

Naruto sighed.

"Okay, look Gaki, I'm going to help you get this off your mind, you're coming with me on a trip."

Naruto looked up, before grabbing a backpack, and a sealing scroll. He put the sealing scroll in the bag before filling the rest of the space with Ramen cups. "Where?"

"We're going to be looking for an old teammate of mine."

Hinata ran back down the hallway, hoping that her sense of timing didn't force her to miss him. When she saw Naruto's door, she stopped. It was open, and a small, teddy-bear-like creature with bat wings and an antenna with a large red pom-pom on its top. The creature looked at her for a moment, and then spoke. "I'm sorry, but if you are looking for Naruto, he isn't here right now, he just left for a mission. May I take a message?"

Hinata looked at it, and blinked. Then she turned slowly walked away, cursing her bladder and its bad sense of timing.

"So, Naruto, while we are on our way, I want to keep training you," Jiraiya told him, they were on a dirt path, where trees flanked them on both sides, "so first, I want to see how your Rasengan is coming."

Naruto looked up at him with dull eyes, then he sighed and lifted his arm, palm up. Then using his other hand to help move the chakra, he began to create a small, blue sphere that sat in his hand.

"Good, good, you have the basics down," Jiraiya said, "But by the time this week is out, I'll want you to make one using only one hand."

"And how am I to do that?"

"Practice!" Jiraiya said, before revealing a bucket of water balloons from out of nowhere.

Naruto looked at the balloons, "I'm not going to have to learn it all over again, am I?"

"No, just this step, and it's only until you get the chakra moving part right."

Naruto sighed again. "Alright." He grabbed a water balloon, and began working on moving his chakra right. All the while, he had an almost lifeless look in his eye.

A water balloon smashed into his face and broke, bringing Naruto out of his trance-like state. His eyes were now wide open, and he blinked a couple of times. Jiraiya just kept moving on, whistling innocently. "You didn't just do that!" Naruto said, almost yelling.

"Do what?" Jiraiya asked, a smile on his face.

"You just threw that water balloon at me!"

"Yeah I did, and now you're holding it, I gave it to you to practice with."

"No! You just threw one at my head!"

"What are you talking about, Gaki?"

Naruto smiled sadistically, "So that's how you want to play huh?" Jiraiya turned his back, and while he wasn't watching, he made a shadow clone. The clone smiled, then ran into the forest. The real Naruto turned to his sensei, "You're a jerk; you know that?"

"No, I'm not a jerk, I'm a super pervert!" Jiraiya said, looking back to his student.

"Well do you know what happens to perverts like you, Ero-sennin?"

Jiraiya twitched at the name, "What?" he asked.

He suddenly heard a voice in front of him, "Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu!"

Suddenly, Jiraiya felt shorter.

"They normally end up buried neck deep into the ground." Naruto said, before nodding at the shadow clone, who nodded back, and disspeared.

Jiraiya's head looked at the boy. "Do you know what your elemental affinities are?"

"Only my primary affiliation, I have no idea what my secondary is."

"Well?"

"I'm a wind type."

"How many wind jutsus do you know?" He asked, pulling himself out of the ground.

"Um…six…I think…either five or six."

"Hm, well, when you've got that down," he said pointing to the water balloon, "I'm going to help you find your secondary element, and then I'm going to teach you as many of those jutsus as I can."

"Fair enough." NAruto said as he began to concentrate on the water balloon.

Somewhere in Konoha, Sasuke was panting. He had been training to the point of exhaustion since the invasion.

His training included his curse seal.

Even now, the black flame marks began to creep across his body. He smiled as he felt the rush of evil power flood his system.

Somewhere, in the recesses of his mind, a small, insignificant voice cried out, "No! Don't do it!"

Another one rang out, "Yes! Come, take the power I am giving you."

Sasuke only heard the second voice.

"That Ero-baka." Naruto whispered to himself as he stood in the hotel room. "Leaving me alone as soon as the first woman he sees winks at him." He grumbled, "Well, at least he left me the bucket."

It had been four days since they had left Konoha, and Naruto almost had the one-handed Rasengan complete. As Naruto reached into the bucket for another water balloon, he thought it was actually a godsend, it provided something for him to do when Jiraiya was doing his infernal 'research'.

He picked up the water balloon, and after a few seconds, the balloon began to bulge and then it popped, leaving a large pool of water on the floor. "Maybe I should have held it out the window…" he thought, "Oh well," He shrugged, and pulled out another ball.

A knock sounded at the door. "Who is it?" Naruto asked.

There was silence for thirty seconds before a tough voice answered, "Mail."

Naruto got up cautiously, Sora had learned early in his life that a silence like that normally meant a lie, and Naruto had learned from Sora. Clutching the water balloon in his hand, he carefully made his way to the door, "Coming." He said.

He cracked the door open and he saw two men, both wearing black cloaks with red clouds. One man had a large bandage-wrapped package on his back, and the other man had a long black pony-tail and two onyx black eyes. The fox in his head gave him a name "Itachi Uchiha." Naruto quickly hid the balloon behind his back, and acted ignorant.

"Hello! Do I have any mail?" Naruto asked.

Itachi looked at him before turning his head to the blue skinned man. The man shrugged, and Itachi returned his attention to the boy. "Hello, Naruto-san, would you please come with us?"

"You're not going to offer me candy are you?" Naruto asked.

The blue man chuckled. While Itachi looked like he did when he arrived, "No Naruto-san, we will not, we just want you to come with us."

Naruto looked up at him, "I'd love to, but Jiraiya-sensei told me to stay."

The blue skin man interjected, "But Jiraiya told us to get you for him."

Naruto looked at the blue skinned man. "Alright, I'll go, but first I want to give you something."

The blue man looked confused but he extended his hand to receive something. Suddenly, a balloon popped, and Naruto brought from around him a swirling blue ball of chakra. "RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled, driving the orb into the blue man's gut. The man went flying backwards, going through a couple of walls before stopping.

Itachi had turned his head to watch his partner in surprise, and when he had turned back to face Naruto, he got a smack in the face from a metal key. This was quickly followed by another strike to Itachi's gut, then one to his groin.

The two onyx eye widened at the pain. And he fell into a fetal position while clutching his cracked nuts.

"You little brat!" the blue skinned man said, taking the package of his back, revealing it to be a grey sword-like object. "I'm gonna shave your face off for that." His cloak was shredded where the Rasengan hit, and there was a small trail of smoke coming from the wound.

"Love to see you try!" Naruto said, before his cloak began to change color. He quickly ran over to the window, "If you want me, come and get me!" Naruto said, his cloak now a blue color. He held his Keyblade like a gun, and pointing it at the blue man, he fired a single grey bullet.

The blue man cursed himself, a second earlier, he had pushed himself forward in a jump/run, now he was in the air, and couldn't change directions, the grey ball that was coming at him would hit him hard, and he could do nothing about it.

He was right, as soon as he was about to land, the grey ball hit him, and forced him to the ground, sprawled on his back, while the energy of the ball began sucking his chakra. When he got up, Itachi was just on the road to recuperating, and Naruto was already out the window.

"I'm gonna kill that boy." The blue man said.

"No, Kisame, let him go," Itachi said, trying to hide the pain he received, Kisame, looked at him, "he has the upper hand, we have no idea where he is going, how many traps he's set, or his skill level. It would be wise to continue watching him, and attack at a later date."

Kisame stared at his partner, debating whether he should listen to him, or shave his head off and hunt down the Kyuubi brat. The pain at his stomach chose for him, "Ah! Alright," he seethed, "We'll retreat, but I want his head later."

Itachi sighed, sometimes, working with people was impossible.

Naruto skated on the air, one inch above the ground, looking for his perverted sensei. He found him next to a voluptuous woman, sighing. Naruto was about to interrupt the moment, when he heard Jiraiya mumble. "Aw, who am I kidding, my luck's never this good." He then put his hands together and, holding her shoulder, said, "Kai." Immediately, the woman slumped forward, asleep.

Naruto came in "Jiraiya, I was attacked by two men just now, they were both wearing black cloaks with red clouds, one of them was Itachi Uchiha."

Naruto had Jiraiya's attention at 'red clouds'. "Was the other one tall, blue and had large grey sword?" he asked worriedly.

"Yes." Naruto said, surprised.

Jiraiya's eyes widened, "We, need to get out of here. Fast."

Naruto nodded, "Kuchiyose no jutsu." Suddenly, an eagle, twice as tall as Jiraiya, appeared. "Reiten (zero)," Naruto said to the eagle, "We need to get out here."

"A one way trip to outta here, comin' up." The Eagle said, as Naruto and Jiraiya climbed on the Eagle's back.

Reiten spread his giant wings, and then, before the two ninjas on his back could blink, they were off.

The woman that Jiraiya had been with slowly stirred. She propped herself up on one arm, while the other came to her head, "Oh, what happened?" She asked, "And why do I have the urge to take a long shower?"

Neji sighed, another day of being stuck with Lee and Gai. Honestly, he could probably take it if only one of them were insane, but good luck with that happening. Tenten joined him soon afterwards, also in a bad Lee/Gai intolerant mood.

"If I have to hear another word that has to do with youth, truth, or love, I'm going to stab something."

Neji looked at her, "Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?"

"Form the sound of it, I'd say she got up on the wrong side of the building." A voice said behind them.

Neji and Tenten turned, only for the sky to meet their eyes.

"Behind you." The voice said again.

Then turned forward, only to see a blur of green and black.

Neji activated his Byakugan, trying to locate the invisible tormentor.

What he saw made his mouth drop.

"Wha-what is it?" Tenten asked, slightly scared.

"I-I don't believe it." Neji said, blinking several times.

"Well Believe it, Neji!" The voice said behind them.

Tenten turned and nearly fainted form the surprise.

It was Lee, not much had changed about him, except that his once perfect bowl cut had been transformed into spiky black hair that stood towards the sky. His Konoha headband was tied around his forehead, and he was sporting a new orange belt with a silver belt buckle. But the most noticeable change was what he was wearing along with it. He still wore the green spandex suit and orange leg warmers, but he was also wearing a black-as-night trench coat, and two leather baldrics crisscrossing his torso. In his left hand he held a staff that was as tall as he was.

"Neji, Tenten, allow me to introduce you to the new, much, much more youthful Lee: Lee, the Green Mage of Konoha!" He yelled, before launching himself into the sky with a single word, "Jetaga!"

Neji and Tenten's mouths hung open.

Two days later, Jiraiya and Naruto came into a small town. It was actually a nice town, except that there were several large craters and ruins that seemed very recent. Suddenly a man went flying out of a bar, and into the wall opposite the street. "Get away from me, you pervert!" a voice yelled from the bar.

Jiraiya smiled, "We found her."

The two stepped up to the bar and went in through the broken door. "Tsunade, it's been ages."

There at the table sat two women, one looked around to be in her twenties, had blond hair, light brown eyes, and rather…ample...breasts. In one hand was a sake bottle, while the other was on the table, steadying her.

The other was probably in her late twenties/early thirties with short black hair and black eyes. She looked at Jiraiya with wide eyes.

"Jiraiya, you stupid pervert, what are you doing here?" The blond woman asked.

"Looking for you." Jiraiya said as he sat down, "Hey Shizune, it's been while."

"Jiraiya-sama," the black haired woman said, nodding.

"Oh, while it's still on my mind, I'd like to introduce you to my new student, Naruto."

Naruto stood back, facing a wall with a large picture, he simply waved his hand in acknowledgement to the introduction.

"Sorry," Jiraiya apologized for Naruto's behavior, "He's in a bad mood today."

"Why?" Tsunade asked.

"Because he went on a 'research' break earlier." Naruto said. Jiraiya paled, Shizune face-palmed, and Tsunade looked like an angry bull.

"What!?" She exploded.

After a few scrapes and bruises, Tsunade quieted down, while Jiraiya's bleeding and broken from was dragged back to the table, where he tried to sit with some dignity. Meanwhile, Shizune and Naruto had become quick friends, learning that they had a lot in common, a Sanin sensei who was a major handful, a love for training, and the love of Konoha. When everyone was sitting again, Tsunade asked, "Alright, so why did you come here, other than to peep on women?"

"We have an offer for you…" Jiraiya said, nursing his throbbing head.

"What?"

"We want you to be the fifth Hokage."

Naruto looked at him, "We-we do?"

"You do?" Shizune asked, hopeful.

"We do." Jiraiya confirmed.

"We do." Naruto said as his head hit the table.

End of Chapter.

Yup, the scroll Naruto gave Lee was filled with Magic Spells, so be prepared for a Lee that will blow you out of the water!
