On a balcony Jiraiya was standing looking out the village "What can I do for you honorable elders?" asked Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya, the Daimyo wants you to be the Fifth Hokage," said the female elder.
"Sorry I am not fit for the job." said Jiraiya. "Who else has been nominated?"
"No one," said the male elder.
"I would like to search for another Sannin," said Jiraiya. "Tsunade the slug princess."
"Did she not leave and swear to never come back?" said the female.
"I will convince her," said Jiraiya.
"Very well," said the male elder
"I will be taking Naruto Uzumaki with me," said Jiraiya.
"Why him and not Sasuke?" asked the female.
"Simple, Sasuke is a spoiled brat who gets everything," said Jiraiya. "I will not teach him. Plus Naruto has a gift to turn people to his cause.
"Fine," said the male advisor in resignation.
Jiraiya disappears in a shunshin.

Kurenai was walking with Asuma when they passed Kakashi "You two on a date?" asked the jounin.
Kurenai looks down. "No Kakashi, we just came back from a meeting which all jounin where supposed to be present for," said Asuma.
"We threw in our nominations for chunin," said Kurenai. "You should be proud one of your students was nominated."
"Sasuke?" said Kakashi.
"Not him, he abused the authority you gave him and almost got killed by Gaara. Plus he attack a comrade for taking his glory" said Asuma with a snort and fingers in a quotation marks. "Naruto Uzumaki was nominated due to his quick think and strategizing as well as rescuing the Uchiha."
Kakashi eyes narrowed "the loser could not have been nominated." said Kakashi. "What did he do to earn it?"
"That 'loser', as you put it did a lot," said Asuma losing his cool.
"He beat the one tailed Jinchuuriki and used a collaboration jutsu with the Boss toad, plus saving the ungrateful brat," said Asuma. "I should know I watched the whole battle,"
"The final decision will be made by the council," said Kakashi. "By the way," said Kakashi looking in the stall he sees two figures get out of the dango shop.
The two jounin disappears in a shunshin.

Asuma and Kurenai appears in front of two people in black cloak with red clouds wearing straw hats "You two obviously aren't from around here," said Asuma.
"Asuma, Kurenai, it has been a long time," said the calm voice of one of them putting both jounins on gaurd.
"Since you know you must be a ninja from this village," said Asuma narrowing his eyes.
The man looks up revealing the Sharingan "well what do you know? It's Itachi, Itachi Uchiha," said Asuma with a grin.
The other one lower his hat revealing blue skin with shark like teeth. "Let me introduce myself. I am Kisame Hoshigake," said the man.
"We know who you are, Kisame," said Kurenai. "Monster of the Hidden Mist wanted in the Land of Water for the murder of his comrades and attempt on the Daimyo's life."
"I am honored," said Kisame. "My reputation precedes me."
"Don't be," said Kurenai. "It is nothing to be proud of."
"I would rather not fight you," said Itachi with no emotion.
Asuma took a drag from his cancer stick "That is hilarious, coming from a man who murders his own people," said Asuma getting his trench knives out.
"Itachi can I kill them?" asked Kisame with a blood thirsty grin
"It looks like we won't get out without bloodshed," said Itachi. "Make it quick, you tend to make too much noise and attract too much attention."
"They're as good as dead," said Kisame slamming his sword on the ground causing a crater

Naruto was walking to the ramen stall when he saw Yugao at the stall "Yugao-sensei," said Naruto waving her over
"Naruto what is going on?" asked the purple haired Kunoich as she fall in step with him
"Just getting a bite to eat," said Naruto. "I am sorry to hear about your boyfriend's death."
"Thank you for condolences," Yugao said as a bird with a note lands on Yugao arm. Taking the note she reads it. "We will have to cut this short," she said. "It seems Itachi is in the village."
She gets up "Wait! Let me come," said Naruto.
"It is too dangerous," said the ex Anbu.
"I can help fight and it would better to have more comrade fighting," said Naruto.
Yugao nods her head "let's go then," she said."However if I tell you leave you are to flee. Got it."
Hai," said Naruto as they head out.

Asuma was holding off Kisame with his trench knives as Kurenai was going through hand seal and tree grabbed on to Itachi and Kisame "About time, Kurenai," said Asuma as get got up from his knee he was down on.
Kurenai appears through the tree kunai in hand. "Here we go," said she as Itachi opened his eyes and Kurenai got bound by the tree.
"Genjutsu of that level won't affect me," said Itachi as he appears above Kurenai.
"Genjutsu Reversal," said Kurenai as she bit her lip releasing the illusion allowing her to dodge the kunai but is kicked into the water.
Asuma was locked in battle. "Samahada does not cut. It shaves to ribbons," said Kisame as Asuma arms is slash slightly by the weapon.
"Let's end this Kisame," said Itachi as he and his partner rush the two Jounin.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu," said Kisame as another water dragon blocks it.
"Hello, Sharingan Kakashi," said Itachi.
"Well I had you had it out with Zabuza," said Kisame.
"Yes I did," said Kakashi. "Water Style: Water Wall."
The water surrounds the masked jounin. "Not even a hand seal," thought Kakashi who was breathing hard
"You are strong Sharingan Kakashi but not good enough," said Itachi as he stabs the jounin with his kunai only to dissolve into water.
Kurenai see Itachi next her as she goes to stab him. "He's shadow clone," shouted Kakashi as he tackles Kurenai away as the clone explodes.
Kurenai!" shouted Asuma.
You have great skill with the Sharingan," said Itachi closing his eyes "however." Itachi opens his eyes. "Only a true Uchiha can resist the ultimate visual Jutsu."
"Close your eyes!" shouted the jounin. "If you look in his eyes your finished."
So you know of it?" asked Itachi
Kakashi looks at the eyes and a second later falls down. Kisame rushes the two jounins. "Let end these two," said Kisame
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Rasengan!" shouted a voice as Kisame is launched back by a blue sphere.
Itachi eyes narrow. "Naruto Uzumaki, the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki," said Itachi.
Naruto pull down his headband. "the Sharingan has one weakness and that I must look you in the eyes," said the blond genin.
Naruto gets out his wooden sword. "Dance of the crescent moon," said Naruto as he rushes the Uchiha and disappear with two clones appearing next to Itachi.
Itachi closes his eyes and reopens them showing a different pattern. "Amaterasu," said Itachi as black flames swallow the clones. "What," asked Itachi as he feels two hands on his ankles? Looking up he sees Naruto with his bokken with a green outline on the blade coming down on him.
The sword hits Itachi shoulder as he disappears in a flock of crows. "Almost had him," said Naruto.
Naruto is sent back by a kick. "you are coming with us, Naruto Uzumaki," said Itachi as he is grabbed by a clone.
"Clone explosion," said Naruto as the clone holding on to Itachi blew up forcing Itachi to disappear in flock of crows.
"You are skilled for a genin," said Itachi. "However, you don't have as much experience," said Itachi. "And I need you alive so I am holding back."
Yugao was watching and saw her moment to strike. "Leaf Blade," she shouted as she slammed her saber into Itachi shoulder but he disappeared in flock of crows.
Yugao jumped next to Naruto. "Kisame deal with them," said Itachi as Kisame rushes forward "summoning Jutsu," said a voice as the sword is blocked by a toad with a shield
"Dramatic Leaf Hurricane," said another voice as Gai and Jiraiya appear. "You are done here. We have called Anbu," said the green beast.
Kisame growls in annoyance. "We aren't here to fight a pointless battle," said Itachi. "Let's go Kisame."
The two missing ninja run a distance as Jiraiya puts his hands on the ground "Ninja Art Stone Toad Trap," said Jiraiya as the field turns into some flesh.
Itachi opens his eyes "Amaterasu," he said. The black flames burned through the back, allowing Itachi to flee with Kisame.
Jiraiya looks at Kakashi. "Now we need Tsunade more than ever, said Jiraiya. "Naruto, we have a mission to find the Sannin Tsunade,"
"What rank?" asked Naruto.
"A-rank it might be upgraded," said Jiraiya.
Yugao walks up to Naruto. "Naruto, catch," she said tossing her sword.
"But sensei this is…" he said.
"When the student becomes a journeyman, you are given the blade of your master," said Yugao.
Jiraiya looks at the blade. "I guess it can't be helped," said the Sannin with a sigh.
Naruto looks at Jiraiya. "What do you mean?" asked Naruto.
"That was your mother's blade," said Jiraiya. "I was order to keep it a secret till you where ready,"
"Why did not tell me?" asked Naruto eyes watering
"She had a lot of enemies, mostly from the Mist," said Jiraiya. "I think you are ready to know who she was at least."
Jiraiya sighed. "Her name was Kushina Uzumaki," said Jiraiya.
The Jounin gasped. "I have a feeling I know who his father is," said Asuma.
Kurenai nods. "All the traits are there," said Kurenai. The looks and the skils."
"Kushina was our squad leader," said Yugao.
"What are you all talking about?" asked Naruto turning his head.
Asuma take another drag of his cigarette. "The three of us, Kurenai, Yugao and myself where her genin students," said the bearded jounin.
Naruto sighed. "I don't like the fact it was kept from me, but I am sure you had your reasons," he said. "How about my father?" asked the genin
"I am sorry that info is to released when you become jounin or reach sixteen," said Jiraiya. "You father had a lot of enemies who would want you dead in spite of him."
"Very well let go find Tsunade," said Naruto.
"Naruto," said Asuma.
"Yes Asuma?" asked Naruto as he catches a scroll.
"This is a wind jutsu I promised to myself I would teach you," said the chain smoker. "Jiraiya will help you in that regards,"
"Thank you Asuma-sensei for the scroll, I can teach you something that might help. Are you a wind user?" asked Naruto.
"I am the only one next to you," said the bearded jounin.
"Focus the wind below your feet. It's a levitation technique I created." said Naruto as he demonstrates.
"I will try it," said Asuma as he levitates a few inches off the ground. "It takes too much control," said Asuma as he fall down.
Naruto chuckles at Asuma. "That can be a control exercise," said Naruto. "It will bring your control to new heights and boost you reserves."
"I will keep that in mind," said Asuma. "Make the village proud kid. You have your mother's determination."
Naruto smiles gratefully. "Thank you," said the blond as he walks away with Jiraiya.
