Chapter II- To Suna!

After Naruto finished packing his stuff, he stared at a crystal necklace on his hand. He held it tightly and smiled softly.

"I guess it's a good-bye…" he said and pulled the necklace from around his neck. "I don't deserve this necklace, Baa-chan… I'm sorry and... Sayonara…" he put the necklace on his kitchen table and head off.

On his way to the gate, a thought entered his mind, "hmm, I wonder why Ero-sennin told me to separate my dearest things with my clothes and shinobi tools... oh well, it doesn't matter either way..."

When he saw the main gate, he ran toward it and saw the white-haired Sennin already there waiting for him. Naruto waved at him; Jiraiya only raised a hand in reply.

"Ne, ne, ne, Ero-sennin! Where are we going?! Are we going to train again?" Naruto asked in excitement with a genuine happy expression on his face which satisfied the Sennin.

"Something like that, yeah… Come here! I hope you brought everything that you hold dear like I told you…" Jiraiya said as he turned around and walked off, Naruto trailed behind him. Jiraiya glanced over his shoulder to see Naruto following him.

"Hm? Yeah, I brought them… but, what are they for? I won't need them if we're going to train like last time right?" Naruto asked, confused.

"Yeah, of course not… However, this time is different…" Jiraiya smiled and continued, "First, this training is nothing like before. Why? Because this time you're going to undergo a Sennin training…' Jiraiya explained at Naruto, who was still confused.

"You told me that it might be a good idea to become a Sennin, so I've made some arrangements with the Tsunade to let you become my apprentice." Jiraiya smirked and continued, "Also about your dearest stuffs, yeah, we're going to burn them… here" Jiraiya stopped a few feet away from the gate, Naruto looked at him even more confused and surprised.

"B-burn them?" he asked in disbelief.

"That's right… I already taught you that a shinobi should not have desire to three most evil aspects right? Women, alcohol, and money. It's basically the same with a Sennin, but you can say it's more relaxed than that of a shinobi. Back in the days when I pursued this path, I did the same thing you are about to do. I burnt my most prized possession; Icha Icha doesn't count, because I wrote them after I became a Sennin." Jiraiya added the last part with a smirk when Naruto was about to make a remark.

"And so Naruto, do you understand why we burn them?" Naruto shook his head clearly feeling at lost and Jiraiya smiled.

"Because, it's not only a good way to purify yourself from any sort of connections, be it good or bad or both; but it's also necessary. Shinobi and Sennin aren't too different, to start your training, you must exempt yourself from any past emotions. Hence, the first step to become a Sennin is, to become an emotionless being. That's why, by burning them, you leave behind your past feelings and purify yourself. Do you understand?"

Naruto stared at Jiraiya then to the ground. He was thinking it through. When Naruto showed no sign of talking anytime soon, Jiraiya spoke again.

"Naruto, you don't have to continue if you don't want to… If you value your memories more than to forget them, there's still a turning back… being a Sennin isn't as easy as you may think, just like being Hokage…"

The word 'Hokage' rang through his head causing the blonde shinobi to snap back to reality, and then looked straight into his master's eyes. "I'll do it"

Naruto threw his bag and faced Jiraiya, "Ero-… no, Shishou… teach me the ways of a Sennin!" his eyes and voice showed conviction and determination so strong that even moved Jiraiya to sweat.

"Naruto…"

"I… I want to restart my life… my shinobi life with… them… is over. This time, I'll be a Sennin. I'll be able to look at Konoha from afar… I could never turn my back away from Konoha no matter what happened to me in the past or what might happen in the future… But, Konoha's my home… The villagers hate me, and even my closest friends. This leaves me with no other choice beside death, although the latter's not really a choice…"

Jiraiya looked at him with a saddened expression then sighed. Jiraiya performed a few hand seals and shouted, "Katon: Goukakkyu no Jutsu!"

A big ball of flame burst from Jiraiya's mouth and engulfed Naruto's belongings in a second, Naruto kept on looking at his burning belongings. His face was showing a hint of sadness which soon turned emotionless as the remaining of his belongings became ashes.

"Naruto… Let's go…" Jiraiya said; he put a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"… Yeah" Naruto turned around and asked him, "Shishou, where are we heading?"

Jiraiya smiled at him and replied, "Sunagakure"

Meanwhile in Sunagakure, Temari was sitting on a couch inside the Kazekage's office. She was gazing dreamingly toward the window. The red-haired Kazekage didn't seem to notice as he kept on rummaging through reports and other paper works.

"What is wrong me these days? I haven't been myself lately and I still don't know what's been bothering me…" the wind mistress thought then sighed and closed her eyes, catching her little brother's attention.

"Is something wrong, Temari?' he asked with his usual emotionless face, but his voice showed care and worry.

"N'n… nothing's wrong Gaara… Sorry, I must be disturbing your work… I'll go get some fresh air…" Temari replied as she stood up from the couch and headed toward the door. She stopped momentarily before turning the doorknob.

"Ne, Gaara… do you think… I…" After a short silence she continued, "… Sorry, it's nothing, just forget what I said, okay?' she gave her little brother a smile and headed out.

"…" Gaara didn't say anything but still had his attention to the closed door, "There is definitely something wrong with her… guess I'll ask her again after I'm done with these damn paper works" He thought and continued with his duty.

Suddenly a frog appeared out of nowhere and jumped onto Gaara's desk. Gaara, who was still indifferent looked at the frog and noticed that it has a note attached on its back. He took it off the frog and the frog disappeared. He opened the message and slightly smiled after reading the content.

"Baki!" Gaara called out loudly and Baki, the sand jonin entered.

"You called me, Kazekage-sama?" he bowed at the red-haired Kazekage before standing straight again.

"Yes, I just received a message from Jiraiya-sama saying that he is currently on his way here. Prepare a room for two, will you? Thanks" Gaara dismissed him and looked into the paper works again.

"Understood, Kazekage-sama. Shitsurei shimasu.' Baki bowed once again and headed out.

Outside, Temari was leaning on a sandy fence on top of a random building. She was still thinking about something or rather gazing dreamingly. She sighed several times before she was shaken out of her thoughts by a sand chuunin, who appeared kneeling before her.

"Forgive my sudden intrusion, Temari-sama. But Kazekage-sama demands your presence in his office now." The sand chuunin kept kneeling down when Temari stood up straight and replied, "Understood… Tell him I'll be right there…"

"HA!" and the sand chuunin quickly disappeared as fast as he appeared.

Temari sighed and looked toward the sky, "now what does he want, my cute little brother…" She formed a smile and went toward the Kazekage building.

Back inside the Kazekage office, Temari was fossilized as soon as Gaara told her the news.

"Temari… Naruto's on his way here with Jiraiya-sama… They said that they might be staying in Suna for about a month or so…"

Temari's heart suddenly beat faster and her face turned red a little after she turned back to reality. She didn't know why her heart was pounding faster than usual, she didn't understand at all. Then Gaara continued.

"That's why; I'm going to put them under your care…" Gaara crossed his arms nonchalantly as he leaned back on his soft chair.

"Wh-what?! Why?" Temari protested nervously, still having a shade of pink on her cheeks.

"Why not? Aren't you glad to see him again?" Gaara asked raising his invisible eyebrow.

"That's not what I meant…" Temari replied looking away shyly.

"Then it's settled. They're going to be put on a VIP room somewhere in this building, and to tell the truth I still can't remember some directions in this damn building. But anyway, I guess I'll leave the matter to you then…" the Kazekage said uncrossing his arms, took a few documents and began reading them one by one.

"W-W-Wa-wait! I…"' Temari tried to protest again but failed to do so because her brother only peeked at her from behind a paper, showing only his black-circled eyes and red hair. "I understand… Kazekage-sama" she said as she hung her shoulder in defeat.

"God! Why am I feeling nervous yet excited when I heard his name? What's wrong with me?! … Naruto…"

Meanwhile back with Jiraiya and Naruto, "Ne! Ero-sennin!" Naruto twitched; his body trembled slightly, his face showed anger.

"What?" the white-haired sennin lazily replied with his back facing his student.

"What the hell are you doing?!" the blond boy ranted and crossed his arms, holding his urge to smack Jiraiya in the head.

"Gathering information…" he said with a distinctive perverted voice and a perverted grin.

"… I really lost my respect to you, you perverted old geezer…" Naruto could only hang his shoulder in defeat while Jiraiya was looking through his big ass binocular giggling like a school girl.

Back in Konoha, a cloaked ANBU reported and kneeled in front of the busty Hokage. "Hokage-sama. Reporting in."

"What is it?" she asked stiffly, she hasn't been in a good mood recently.

"The elders sent me to inform you that Uzumaki Naruto shall be put under ANBU surveillance 24/7 starting tomorrow."

"Hmph" Tsunade snickered and made the cloaked ANBU to look up, "Hokage-sama?"

"Ah, sorry but… you can tell them that there won't be any need for it. Naruto has been taken under Jiraiya's care. I think they should be outside the village by now…"

"… Understood, shitsure shimasu" He hesitated for a moment but lowered his head and vanished into thin air the next moment.

"I bet old hag Koharu's going to be so pissed she's going to send some ANBU squads to Jiraiya and Naruto… well, they'll be okay anyway…"

Just as she was about to get back to her work, somebody knocked on her door. She looked up questioningly before letting that person in.

"Enter!" Tsunade said although she didn't expect any visits for now.

"Shishou…" Sakura entered with a sad look pasted on her face.

"Sakura? What is it?"

"Shishou… I… I…" she stuttered but couldn't continue.

"Sakura, I've known you for about two and a half years now. What is it that you wanted to tell but can't?" Tsunade said with a worried look at her apprentice.

"A-actually… I… I wanted to… confess about something…" she sobbed with a guilty look on her face; tears were falling down, drenching her pale cheek.

"What is it?" Tsunade asked more softly, this time she stood up and walked closer toward her pink-haired apprentice.

"I… Naruto… I-I've been cruel to him… too cruel… I couldn't sleep at night after realizing what I've done to him… I… I'm the worst…" her tears were flowing freely, she fell down but Tsunade managed to hold her just in time.

"What do you mean, Sakura?"

"N-Naruto… he… he has experienced it before… w-when I heard his story, I couldn't believe my ears… how could Naruto had that kind of past… I never knew… but then… although I came to know his story, I-I did that unforgivable thing to him… even though I knew; I-I inflicted the same pain he experienced before! I could never forgive myself!" her sobs became cries, her tears fell even harder.

"Shht, Sakura, calm down… What did you do?" Tsunade tried to calm her pink haired apprentice although she wasn't as calm as she looked to be, her attention was fully directed to Sakura.

"Tsunade-shishou… I…" Sakura told her what happened that faithful day. The room went inaudible for awhile and then Tsunade's eyes turned wide at what had happened to her beloved blond genin. A tear fell across the blonde Hokage's face. She could only gap and let out a word in disbelief.

"… What?!"
