A/N: Hi Guys, Even though I didn't got the many reviews that I was expecting but for those who did, I thank you. One of the reviewer asked me to remove Naruto from the pairing list and leave it as Naruko and A. I think its creating some confusion. I'll leave it to you guys to decide. But take that into the consideration that main character is Naruto not Naruko. But it is also a female Naruto fiction. So please PM me your input on this...
Chapter 2: Early childhood and happiness
Next Day Morning
The news that the fourth hokage has defeated the Kyuubi has spread like a wildfire. Everyone was talking about it. Village was filled with activities. While some were mourning for their loved once, who have sacrificed their lives to protect the village. Some villagers and shinobi were helping with reconstruction of the village. The damage was quite severe. Kyuubi has caused too much havoc before Minato teleported him away from the village. Some medics were treating the injured, while other were helping with relocation of the people, who has lost their homes.
Right now everybody was standing in front of the hokage tower; waiting for the Fourth Hokage, who was going to address the village.
Inside the Tower
"Are you sure about this Minato? Do you really want to tell the villagers about your son's and daughter's status as new jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi? You do know that jinchuuriki's are not very liked by the people. Kushina had a normal childhood only because her status as a Jinchuuriki was a well kept secret. Don't forget that Kyuubi has almost destroyed the village and killed quite a lot of villagers," asked Hiruzen.
"Yah! I am sure Hiruzen-sama. I have faith in my village and its people. I'm sure that they will understand and they will see my children as hero's," Minato replied.
"If you say so Minato. It is your choice but I still don't think that this is a good idea," said Hiruzen.
"Aah! You worry too much Hiruzen-sama," said Minato.
"I just hope that you won't come to regret this decision," said Hiruzen with a little hope evident in his voice.
"And what about the masked man?" asked Hiruzen after a pause.
"I don't think that it'll be wise to tell them about the masked man. Just think about it; If we tell them about the masked man then people will start blaming the Uchiha clan. We are still not quite sure that whether he was a member of the Uchiha clan or a rogue ninja. If he was indeed a rouge ninja and people have started to act rashly towards the Uchiha clan, then they might try to rationalize and that will lead to conflict between the village and Uchiha clan and we can't let that happen, specially with our current condition. So the less people will know about him, the batter," replied Minato.
"Ok! So where are Kushina-chan and others?" asked Hiruzen.
"They are on their way over here. Kushina-chan said something about shopping for babies and all; like some diapers, baby food, lotion and God know what," Minato said clearly confused. He just couldn't understand why babies need so many things.
"Ha ha ha ha. You will understand soon Minato. Raising a child is not a easy job. After all I am talking here with experience. Taking care of one child was quite tiring and you got three bundles of joy, who just so happen to be Uzumaki. I will pray for you," Hiruzen said clearly amused.
Minato paled but before he could have said anything, door of the hokage's office burst open and the sight made Minato even paler than before.
On the door stood Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. Her hair was waving behind her in a imitation of nine tails and her body was covered with blue aura; giving her terrifying look. She was also carrying many shopping bags in both of her hands.
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU MINATO... You were supposed to help me with shopping but you left me alone inside the shop. Where the hell did you went mister?" shouted Kushina.
"Ah Ah ! W..Well y..you see honey! some urgent work has came up. So I had to go." replied Minato nervously.
"And you didn't even bother to inform me? I was looking for in all over the shop. on top of that you left me alone to carry all the bags on my own," asked a clearly irritated Kushina.
"I didn't left you alone. Jiraiya-sensei and Tsunade-sama were with you didn't they? and shopping bags... really... ? Kushina-chan you are a seal mistress yourself. You could have sealed all the stuff inside a storage scroll," replied Minato after regaining his confidence slightly.
Kushina stood there frozen. Then she came back from her stupor state and stared cursing in a way that would even make a sailor blush in embarrassment.
Few minutes later Tsunade and Jiraiya appeared behind Kushina. Tsunade was holding Mito and Menma while Jiraiya was carrying Naruto in his arms.
"Jeez Kushina! Couldn't you have run a bit slower," said Tsunade.
"He He He... Sorry I got carried away," replied Kushina while scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.
Tsunade shook her head while others laughed lightly. Then they proceeded towards the balcony for the announcement.
Balcony (Outside)
Minato appeared on the balcony along with Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Kushina and children. Minato started to address the crowd and everybody stared at him as he started speaking.
"Citizens of the leaf village. Yesterday we faced a great foe, The Kyuubi, It has destroyed our home and kidded our comrades. But their sacrifice didn't go in vain. With Hiruzen-sama, Jiraiya-sensei, Tsunade-sama and my wife Kushina-chan help, I have managed to defeat the Kyuubi by sealing its Yin chakra into Mito, yang chakra into Menma and its body and soul into Naruto. But you have nothing to fear. I have used an very advance seal to seal away the beast so it can no longer cause any more trouble and destruction. All I want from you is to treat my children as hero's because without them, this victory would have been close to impossible. That will be all. Thank you for your time," explained Minato before he walked away with his family. Villagers were cheering for Mito and Menma for holding back the beast power while giving nasty glare towards Naruto, because in their eyes, she was the Kyuubi in human form but none of them were brave enough to voice their thoughts in the fear of their Fourth Hokage and his wife.
Council Chamber (Few Hours Later)
6 figures could be seen inside the council chambers. These are the three elders Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Danzo Shimura, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, ANBU commander Hawk and Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
"Ok care to tell us what exactly transpired last night, Hokage-sama?" asked Koharu.
Minato didn't want to tell them about the masked man because he was sure that they will take some drastic measures towards Uchiha clan but he also knew that he has to tell them. So he reluctantly told them everything. Like how a masked man infiltrated the barrier, how he managed to separate them from Kushina, releasing the Kyuubi after putting it inside the sharingan control, his fight with the masked man and finally the sealing of the Kyuubi.
"I think we should take immediate action towards Uchiha clan. To think that they were hiding someone as powerful as that masked man...! Only God knows what else they might be hiding. They could be planning to overthrow the village's governing system and take control over the village," said Danzo. While he also wanted the new jinchuurikis so that he can mold them into perfect weapon but he didn't voice his thought because he knew that Minato will never allow any children to be turned into a weapon let alone his own flesh and blood.
"We are not going to do anything like that Danzo-san. That masked man could be a rogue ninja, who has no connection to the clan. We cannot blame the whole clan because of one person's action," said Hiruzen.
"You cannot deny the possibility of their involvement in this attack," said Homura.
"Look Hiruzen, I know that we might be wrong but we have to do something just incase..." trailed off Koharu.
"I have one solution that may appease everyone," said Danzo. Everybody looked at him in curiosity as he continued "We can put the Uchiha under the ANBU surveillance. That way they can report back to us in case of any suspicious activity." Koharu and Homura also agreed to this idea.
"What if they took it in a wrong way?" asked Minato.
"It has to be done. We cannot put the whole village security at risk just to appease one clan," said Danzo.
"Ok... Hawk you know what to do," Minato said in frustration.
Hawk nodded and left the chambers in leaf shunshin and everybody else started the discussion about reconstruction of the leaf village.
4 Years later - Namikaze Mansion
It has been four years since that fateful day. The Village hidden in Leaves has recovered its strength after the Kyuubi's attack.
Inside the Namikaze mansion Kushina was preparing the breakfast and Minato was reading the news paper while having a cup of coffee.
"Naruto, Mito, Menma! come down for the breakfast," shouted Kushina from the kitchen. Soon they were able to here set of fast approaching footsteps. Suddenly three blurs appeared in the kitchen.
"FIRST..." shouted Naruto. She was 3' 4'' and wearing white T-shirt with Uzumaki swirl on the back and black shorts. She had tied her hair in twin ponytails.
"SECOND..." shouted the second blur who happen to be Menma. He was 3' 4'' and wearing red shirt with blue jeans.
"Ahh... why I always come at last?" asked a Mito with a pout on her face. She was also 3' 3'' and wearing the same clothing as Naruto but with yellow T-shirt.
"Ha Ha Ha! Don't worry Mito-chan. If you train hard enough then you will be able to come at the first place," said Kushina while smiling.
"Yah Mito-chan, we will train hard to become best of the best," shouted Menma.
"You think that I can become the best?" asked Mito dejectedly.
"Yes Mito-chan. Anyone can become best if they try their hardest," said Minato.
"Don't worry Tou-san. We will try our best to make you proud," said Naruto loudly.
'We are already proud of you my dear children,' thought Minato and Kushina simultaneously.
"Ok sit down for the breakfast but first HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" shouted Kushina excitedly while hugging all three of them tightly.
"Thank you Kaa-chan," said all three of them.
"Happy birthday," this time it was Minato, who has wished them.
"Thank you Tou-san." replied the children.
They all sat for the breakfast. Breakfast was quite simple; toast, boil eggs, milk etc.
"Ok, I've some great news for all three of you!" exclaimed Minato after the breakfast, while Kushina was doing the dishes.
All three of them looked at him with excitement.
"Your Kaa-chan and I have decided that from tomorrow onwards we will start your ninja training. We think it's time for all three of you to learn to how to better protect yourself. But don't worry, We will take it slowly at first and then we will increase the pace according to your growth. Ok?" Minato asked.
All three of them had the stars in their eyes and they shouted together "Hell Yeah" excitedly while pumping fist into the air, only for their celebration to come short when the sense of dread washed over them. They turned towards the source, only to find Kushina, who has malice aura around her.
"Did all of you just swear right now?" asked Kushina in a very dangerous voice.
"Ahh N-No K-K-Kaa-chan," replied children frighteningly.
"That's what I thought," said Kushina and went back to do the dishes and all three of the children released the sigh of relief while Minato flashed a small smile.
"Ok Jiraiya-sensei has agreed to teach you the basics. So make sure that you get up early tomorrow for some training. That means you have go to bed early after the party," Minato said while giving the knowing smile.
"Ahhhh..." all three of them said clearly disappointed because it means that they have to cut short their fun and celebrations tonight.
"Ok go back to your rooms and get ready. We are taking you for some shopping," said Kushina after joining them back.
All three of them were gone in an instant. Kushina turned to Minato and asked "Don't you think that it's too early for their training?"
"Kushina-chan, you know that they have to become strong quickely because I am quite sure that the masked man is only waiting of the right time or opportunity to strike back. So they need to learn, how to protect themselves. Besides did you forget what Jiraiya-sensei said?" replied Minato.
FLASHBACK (1 Week Ago)
It was night time. Minato and Kushina were watching the television. Children have already went to their beds. Minato and Kushina were also planning on going back to their own room to have some private time of their own but stopped in their tracks by a sudden knock on the front door.
"Who can be at this time of the night?" asked Kushina.
"I'll check it," Minato said.
Minato opened the door to find Jiraiya was standing there with a serious look on his face.
"Jiraiya-sensei! What happened?" asked Minato.
"Can I come inside Minato?" asked Jiraiya.
"Oh sorry. Please come in," said Minato.
"Who is it honey?" asked Kushina from inside.
"It's Jiraiya-sensei" replied Minato while entering inside the room.
"Please have a seat Jiraiya. Would you like to have some tea?" asked Kushina.
"No thank you Kushina-chan. I'm in a bit hurry. I just want to talk about something then I'm heading out to meet my contact. Something urgent has came up and I need to check it personally. Don't worry! I will be back before the kids birthday party," replied Jiraiya.
"Ok so what you want to talk about sensei?" asked Minato.
"Toads has given me a prophecy. It said that one of my student who also happened to be the child of my old student, one who is carrying a great burden and bestowed a great power will shape the world as he/she sees fits. He/She will become either the savior of the world or its destroyer," replied Jiraiya.
"It can be Mito-chan or Menma-kun, since they hold the Kyuubi's chakra but we cannot disregard the possibility of Naruto being the child of prophecy." explained Jiraiya.
"So one of my children will be the child of prophecy." Minato said smiling.
"It could be. But toads also said that full prophecy is still unclear. In ] will become clear in time. But till that time I think that we should start their training," stated Jiraiya.
"But" Minato started but Jiraiya has cut him off by raising his hand.
"I know what you are thinking Minato. But trust me it is for the best or did you forgot what that masked man said," said Jiraiya.
Minato frowned after hearing this. He didn't forgot the masked man parting words. How could he forgot, when his children life are at the stakes or perhaps the whole world's fate also . He knew Jiraiya was right. That masked man can attack at any time. Hell he could be planning his next attack.
Minato and Kushina agreed although reluctantly but agreed none the less.
"Ok then its settled. After their birthday I will teach them for around a month then I will leave to track that masked man and my traitorous teammate. There is also a group that has came into picture recently. They are gaining quite the fame and reputation. This time, I might be gone for a long-long time. By training my godchildren, I can also spend some time with them before I have to leave," said Jiraiya. He couldn't help when a small smile graced his lips at the prospect of spending time with his god-children.
END FLASHBACK
After few minutes Mito, Menma and Naruto came downstairs and everybody went outside for the shopping.
Streets of Leaf Village
Currently Namikaze family can be seen walking down the streets of the Leaf village. Everybody was coming to greet the Hokage of the leaf village. They were bowing towards Minato as a sign of respect but few of them were also glaring towards Naruto. Minato and Kushina noticed it but didn't react to it.
Suddenly they noticed that Naruto wasn't with them. They panicked and looked around. Naruto was retightening her sandals. She got up after that and looked around only to notice that her parents were waiting for her. She ran back to Minato and Kushina. After catching up to them she clutched Kushina's gown. Kushina looked at her in concern but Naruto gave her a reassuring smile and they proceeded toward the clothing shop.
After reaching the shop, Kushina told them to explore the shop in hope to find something for their liking. Minato and Kushina both noticed that Naruto was still there instead of exploring the shop with the look of concentration on her face.
"What's wrong honey? Why are you still here? Do you some help in shopping?" asked Kushina.
"It's nothing Kaa-chan," said Naruto after releasing a sigh.
"You know you can tell us anything, right?" said Minato.
"Can I ask you something Tou-san, Kaa-chan?" asked Naruto.
"Sure Naruto-chan. What's in your mind?" replied Minato.
"Can you tell me, why the villagers were looking at me like that?" asked Naruto.
'She noticed it?' thought Minato and Kushina in shock.
"What do you mean honey? They were looking normally. It might be your imagination," stated Kushina, clearly trying to hide the fact they were looking at her with hatred filled eyes.
"Don't try to hide it Kaa-chan. I noticed that they were glaring at me. I first thought that they were looking at someone else but today when I stopped to retighten my sandal, it became clear to me that the one they were glaring is none other than me. And the look of disappointment, which was clearly evident on your faces; erased whatever doubt I had. Did I do something wrong Kaa-chan, Tou-san?" asked a worried Naurto.
Minato and Kushina were looking at her with stunned expression on their faces. 'How could Naruto-chan was able to notice all of these? She is only four year old for crying out loud.' thought Minato and Kushina. They are still not able to comprehend that a four year old child was able to read the emotions so easily.
"You did nothing wrong Naruto-chan," reassured Minato.
"Then why were they looking at me like that? Please don't lie to me Tou-san. I want to know. Please..." pleaded Naruto.
Minato and Kushina looked at each other like they were silently communicating with each other. After few moments Minato said "Ok Naruto-chan, We will tell you. But not now. How about tomorrow night?"
"You promise?" asked Naruto.
Minato nodded then Minato and Kushina took Naruto to help her with shopping.
Night time (Namikaze Mansion)
Namikaze mansion was buzzing with the activities. The reason for this was simple. This mansion was hosting the birthday party of the triplets. Many clan heads, elders, third Hokage, last two loyal sannin and many famous shinobi were also present. They had already cut the cake and adults were having the sake. Children got many presents like cloths, kunai, shuriken, books, toys etc. While Naruto didn't got as many presents as Mito and Menma but she didn't complained.
Jiraiya has given them his first book. "The tale of utterly gutsy shinobi" and told them that Naruto's name was taken from this book and the biggest reason as to why he was named as their god father.
Tsunade has given them the blank journal to write their experience. But she also told them to write everything truthfully because writing wrong in the journal is like lying to yourself.
Kakashi has given them a kunai pouch each. While Hiruzen has given them a book on history of the elemental nation which also contains the history of all the major ninja villages.
Minato and Kushina has also brought them their ninja gear.
Mito, Menma and Naruto has enjoyed the presents and celebrations. But nobody knew that after today, it will take many years for Naruto to feel truly happy.
Next day Morning
"Ok kids. Jiraiya-sensei will be here shortly. Be nice to him and follow everything that he says. Got it?" asked Minato while having breakfast.
"Hai," replied all three.
"Knock knock," they heard a knocking noise from the front door.
"It must be him. I'll go get it," said Kushina.
"Hello my dear children. Don't fear because the great gallant Jiraiya is here," said Jiraiya after entering the kitchen and Kushina trailing behind him while shaking her head in disappointment.
"Jiraiya-oji-san!" exclaimed all three.
"Sit down for the breakfast Jiraiya before I change my mind." said an irritated Kushina.
"Why are you so mean to me? What I ever did to receive this kind of treatment?" asked Jiraiya while crying anime tears.
"Don't know may be because YOU TRIED TO PEEP ON US ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT!" shouted Kushina at the end of the statement.
Minato was biting inside of his mouth to hold back his laughter.
Jiraiya scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said "I already said sorry so many times. What else do you want me to do? Besides you beat the shit out of me after you found out. Wasn't it enough? I never gotten beat up that badly except the time when I peeped on Tsunade."
Kushina was about to retort but Minto cut her off "Come on Kushina-chan. It's not like he was able to see anything because of the so many seals that we have applied. Besides he wouldn't be Jiraiya if he didn't do those kind of things. He is not the self proclaimed super pervert for nothing."
Nobody noticed the confusion written on children faces but Mito decided to voice their thoughts "What you guys are talking about?"
All colors left from the faces of adults. Inside they were cursing for completely forgetting about the children.
But Minato comes once again to save the day and most importantly to save himself from giving them talk about the birds and bees at the tender age of four.
"How about you find out when you are older?" replied Minato nervously.
"But why not now?" Mito asked back innocently.
"Ahhh because it's the adult stuff and you are too young to know about all this," said Minato and a sense of relief washed over him when all of them nodded in understanding.
"Off you go then." said Minato.
"Tou-san, will you be joining us?" asked Naruto.
"Hmmm not now. Your Kaa-chan and I will be training you after Jiraiya-sensei has finished with his training," replied Minato.
Naruto nodded and they all left to their respective ways.
Outside the house with Jiraiya
"Ok kids, There are some things that you should understand first. As you know all shinobi use chakra. So let me explain what the chakra really is. You see chakra is essential to even the most basic ninja technique. it is the molding of the physical energy present in every cell of the body and the spiritual energy gained from the mind," Jiraiya explained.
Once all three of them nodded in understanding he continued "But most of the shinobi focus too much on chakra related techniques and forgets to train their body and mind, which usually results in their fall." said Jiraiya.
"How come it would result in their fall. The more technique you have, more powerful you will become?" asked a confused Menma.
Jiraiya signed and said "I will explain everything but hold your questions until the end. Ok?".
At their nodes he continued "As to why it is essential for a shinobi to train their mind and body... Think of this way... What ninjutsu will do when your opponent is fast enough to doge or you can't even see him because he is too fast. Take your father for example. In the battle field he is so fast that his opponent didn't even have time to start his jutsu before he was upon them or think you are low on chakra and your opponent has plenty of chakra left. What you will do then? That's where taijutsu comes in. I believe that when a shinobi has nothing he can always rely upon taijutsu."
"Similar way strength is also important. Think of it as you are fast enough to hit your opponent but you didn't have the enough strength to do any damage. Tsunade is a great example of that. She has enough strength to level a mountain with a single punch. Basically she can finish a battle with a single punch. Are you with me yet?" Jiraiya asked and they nodded.
"Good! So now comes the training your mind. If you can strategies you attack then you can defeat an opponent you is more powerful than you. Take Nara clan for example. They don't have the powerful jutsus to back them up but they can change a tide of a battle with a well placed strategy."
"Another important think about ninja techniques is chakra control. If you have more control on your chakra then you can fire more techniques. And one thing that you should understand is there is a big difference between learning many jutsu and mastering them. What good it will do when you know many techniques but hasn't mastered them. For example two shinobi have fired same jutsu one has it mastered and other has just learned it. In this case, the one who has mastered his jutsu will be able to launch it more quickly and can easily overpower the other jutsu."
"So the final conclusion is you should train in taijutsu, kenjutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, chakra control, mastering a jutsu instead of simply learning it etc etc. Now any more questions."
When they shook their heads Jiraiya said "Ok then first we will start on conditioning your body. We will start with light workout at first. So give me 20 push-ups, sit-ups, crunches and five laps around the compound. What are you waiting for? Start now..." Jiraiya said and they started their workout.
After some time
All three of them stood, slightly out of breath.
"Ok we will work on kunai and shuriken throwing now." said Jiraiya as he started instructing them a proper way to throw a kunai and shuriken.
After the kunai and shuriken practice they went for lunch at Ichiraku. After coming back he started them on taijutsu. Jiraiya taught them basic stance, how to throw a punch or kick and how to block them. Then he taught them the hand seals and started to work on unlocking their chakra.
After some practice Mito and Menma was able to unlock their chakra. Their reserve was quite high compared to others of their age. 'Must be because of Kyuubi and being an Uzumaki.' thought Jiraiya.
But for some reasons Naruto was unable to unlock her chakra. Jiraiya has reassured her that in some cases it takes time to unlock one's chakra and children went back inside Namikaze mansion while Jiraiya went towards the hot spring.
After dinner
Mianto and Kushina asked them about their day. Mito and Menma told them what Jiraiya has taught them and how they were able to unlock their chakra. Throughout the whole conversation Naruto was looking toward the ground in disappointment because she has failed to unlock her chakra. Minato and Kushina noticed it reassured her by telling that what Jiraiya said was indeed true. She looked slightly better after hearing that but not too happy about it.
"So Tou-san, Kaa-chan, are you going to tell me now?" asked Naruto.
Mito and Menama looked at her in confusion and asked "Tell her about what?".
Minto and Kushina cursed because they didn't want them to find out about the Kyuubi just yet but understood that they have to tell them at some point of time; so they told them about how Kyuubi has attacked the village on the day of their birth and how they have to make them jinchuurikis of the Kyuubi to save the village. Apparently after seeing how some of the villagers were looking at Naruto with hate filled glares, Minato has decided to pass a law, that if anybody is found talking about the Kyuubi or told anyone, then they will be punished severally, that's why they haven't found out about it till date.
"So I am the Kyuubi..." asked Naruto in a dejected voice.
"No you are not the Kyuubi. You are simply it's container and you are also our precious daughter Naruto," replied Kushina immediately.
"Yes Nee-chan you are our sister too. Never forget that," said Mito and Menma.
"Then why the villagers look at me like that. Like I am the Kyuubi in human form," asked a Naruto with teary eyes.
"It's my fault. I placed my trust in villagers but they...Forgive me Naruto-chan," Minato said and hugged Naruto because she has started crying.
Kushina told Mito and Menma to go to their rooms while she tried to console Minato and Naruto.
After Naruto calmed down enough she asked "Kaa-chan, Tou-san why did the Kyuubi attacked in the first place? If what Tsunade-baa-chan said is correct then he was last seen at the valley of the end when Madara Uchiha controlled him, that means he never bothered anyone in the past hundred years. So why did he attacked on that day?" asked Naruto.
Kushina looked at Minato and after seeing his node she proceeded to tell her about how she was brought into the village to become to Kyuubi's jinchuuriki, when Mito Uzumaki Senju was at her death bed, her pregnancy, masked man, she told her everything and apologized for not being strong enough to hold back the Kyuubi from unsealing.
After that Naruto cried herself to sleep in her mother's arms as her parents hugged her.
One Month Later
After the first day of training, Naruto tried her best to unlock her chakra many times but she only met with one failure after another. After Three weeks of trying, Jiraiya took Naruto to Tsunade but even she wasn't able to find anything medically wrong with her; anything that could have been stopping her from using chakra. So she concluded that Naruto might be able to use her chakra once she grows older.
Right now we find Jiraiya packed ready to leave for a long period of time to catch up with his spy network. Hiruzen, Tsunade, Minato, Kushina and triplets were there to see him off.
"Ok kids train hard. When I come back, I expect all three of you to become quite powerful," All three of them nodded but while Mito and Menma nodded enthusiastically, Naruto nodded solemnly. Her once usual confidence posture, that she was famous for was absent.
Jiraiya bent down to one knee and hugged Naruto while saying "Don't worry Naruto-chan. I am quite sure that you will be able to unlock your chakra. In fact I am willing to bet half of my money that you will be able to do it. But even if you couldn't, then remember what I have told you 'Even if a shinobi is out of every option then he can always rely on taijutsu and kenjutsu'. Always remember that my favorite little god daughter," Jiraiya said.
"Heh! what about us?" asked Menma.
"Yeah! we are your god children too?" continued Mito.
"Of course you are and I love you all but Naruto is my favorite. I can't help it she is just so adorable," said Jiraiya. It had some different reactions from the present crowd. Mito and Menma was pouting, Naruto was blushing slightly in embarrassment and adults were chuckling at their antics.
"When will I see you again?" asked Naruto in slightly better mood.
"It will be quite some time. It can be anything around five to ten years. You will be okay without me right?" asked Jiraiya.
Naruto nodded and said "So it's goodbye then."
"It's never goodbye brat, it's always see you later. Remember that," said Jiraiya while patting Naruto's head in affectionate manner.
Jiraiya then proceeded to walk out from the gates of Leaf Village, while waving back towards the people who came to said their goodbyes.
