Hokage Mansion
Naruto and his group were left stunned after they heard the words that came out of Sarutobi's mouth. Naruto stuttered to speak as he tried to process the information he had just received.
"W-what did you say Jiji?" Naruto asked him. Sarutobi could see the disbelief in Naruto's eyes. Sarutobi sighed.
"I said I believe that your mother is alive and is near Wave Country," Sandaime said to Naruto. Naruto looked down at the ground for awhile. Soon Naruto looked up and looked at the third.
"And why are you telling me this now?" He asked him clearly upset. Hiruzen nodded as he got up.
"I always thought that you were just a normal genin, one who still needed protection, but if you can manage to bring an ex-Kiri shinobi to our forces, then I have no doubt about your power. I am at least confident that you can handle yourself against genin to chunin level people," Sarutobi said to him. Naruto nodded, though in truth he could handle two of the sannin at once.
"Naruto, I want you to train with Jiraiya, he was your father's sensei and I know he will be good to you," Sarutobi said to Naruto. Naruto's eyes were suddenly filled with rage and hate at the thought of being trained by Jiraiya. Naruto simply nodded and left with his group, leaving a unsuspecting Sarutobi in his seat.
As everyone left, Kiba turned to Naruto.
"Naruto, I noticed that you were very angry at the mention of Jiraiya's name," Kiba told him. Naruto simply nodded his head.
"Why?" Hana asked him. Naruto stopped the group as he looked around him. Naruto sighed as he put up a privacy seal around them. Naruto looked at them all with his eyes very much red.
"I won't forgive his perverted ass, NEVER, he could spent an eternity trying to get me to forgive him, but I will never do it. He did something unforgivable to me. He was supposed to be my godfather, but he betrayed my trust. He will die and it will hurt," Naruto said to them. Some narrowed their eyes and others were sad, but everyone wanted an explanation. Naruto sighed as he went through his memories.
Flashback
Naruto was training with Jiraiya in a field as they sparred until their chakra reserves were empty. Both exhausted as they sat on a tree.
"Still the little firecracker eh Naruto?" Jiraiya asked him. Naruto smiled as he fell back.
"Still the big pervert huh Jiraiya?" Naruto told him. Jiraiya laughed as he nodded.
"I am NOT a big pervert," Jiraiya told him. Naruto raised and eyebrow.
"Oh then what are you?" Naruto asked him. Jiraiya turned to him.
"I am a super pervert," He told him. Naruto sweatdropped as he heard the proclamation.
"Whatever Jiraiya," Naruto told him. Soon Naruto fell asleep as his fading as saw Jiraiya's eyes narrowed, his smile faded and his said something to Naruto.
"I am sorry Naruto," He said as Naruto blanked out. Naruto soon woke up to see he was bound to some chains. Naruto looked up to see Jiraiya in front of him.
"Hey Jiraiya what are you doing, let me go," Naruto told him. Jiraiya laughed as he punched Naruto in the gut. Naruto winced in pain as the wind got knocked out of him.
"Shut your mouth you demon spawn," Jiraiya said to him. Naruto was shocked that he had heard what Jiraiya said to him.
"What are you talking about Jiraiya, I am your godson," Naruto said to him. Jiraiya's eyes narrowed as planted a kick into Naruto's stomach.
"ARGH!," Naruto screamed as he fell to the floor.
"J-Jiraiya, s-stop p-please," Naruto begged. Jiraiya looked at Naruto in a stone cold glare as kicked Naruto's face nearly breaking his nose. Naruto was on his back.
"For all the people that you will destroy in the future, I can't let you live," Jiraiya said to Naruto as his fingers glowed. He hit Naruto in the stomach as his seal appeared with five symbols layered over it. Naruto screamed in pain as the effects of what Jiraiya did, took place. Jiraiya saw an unconcious Naruto on the floor as he walked out of the room. Jiraiya came outside to see Sasuke at the entrance.
"Do it," Sasuke commanded. Jiraiya complied.
"Katon: Gamayu Endan(Fire release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet)," Jiraiya yelled as he shot a fierce fire out of his mouth and burned the building to ashes. Sasuke smirked as he patted Jiraiya on the back.
"You did good, now...you die," Sasuke said as he sent a chidori through Jiraiya. Jiraiya looked in surprise at Sasuke.
"W-why, you said you wouldn't kill me if I did this for you," Jiraiya said to him. Sasuke smiled.
"Like I would make deals with the friend of a demon," Sasuke said as Jiraiya dropped to the floor.
2 hours later
Naruto emerged from the rubble as he looked to see it was raining. Naruto looked in anger for Jiraiya. Naruto couldn't find him until he found a note. Naruto began to read it.
'Sorry Kid, but women are more important to me that you, and Sasuke said I could have as many as I want if I killed you, so there you have it. Have a fun time with Minato and Kushina(he didn't know Kushina might be alive).'
Naruto dropped the note as anger filled his body. He suddenly started to tremble from the fury as Kyuubi's chakra began to leak out of him.
"JIRAIYA!," Naruto yelled at the sky. Naruto took a breath.
"You better hope to Kami that I don't find you Jiraiya," Naruto said to himself as he left.
Flashback End
Everyone was wide eyed that Jiraiya would betray Naruto, and for women no less. Naruto clenched his hands as blood slowly seeped out.
"I will kill him, he thinks women are all that matter, I will be glad to show him fear," Naruto said to them. Everyone nodded in agreement as Naruto smiled.
"Okay I will deal with him later, but let's just get through this day," Naruto said to them. Everyone nodded as they walked through the streets. As they walked, Anko came up to Naruto.
"So Naruto-kun, when are you going to go see if Kushina is alive?" Anko asked him. Naruto lifted his head up as he looked at the sky.
"Maybe in a week, knowing she is alive makes me feel good and happy," Naruto said to them. Everyone smiled as they walked down the streets. They all stopped to look to the right as two people were arguing.
"For the last time Asuma, I won't go out with you," Kurenai said to the blade master. Asuma seemed a little mad by her response and grabbed her arm.
"Come on Kurenai, you have never said yes, won't you give me a shot?" He asked her. Kurenai shook her head.
"I SAID NO, NOW LET ME GO!," She ordered. Asuma seethed at her as he gripped her harder.
"But I love you, why won't you love me?" He said to her. Kurenai brought her hand around and slapped Asuma in the face. Asuma became wide-eyed at Kurenai as she looked at him.
"Even Naruto is more of a man than you are, at least I am sure he wouldn't put his hands on me like you did," Kurenai shot at him. Asuma's eyes narrowed.
"What does this have to do with him of all people?" Asuma asked her. Kurenai blushed as she turned away.
"I-it doesn't so go away," She said as she walked away. Suddenly she bumped into the man they were taking about as Naruto looked at her. Kurenai blushed as she saw that she hit Naruto.
"Oh sorry Naruto-kun," She said to him. Naruto shook his head.
"It's alright, wait when did she start calling me Naruto-kun?," He wondered.
"Are you busy training?" She asked him. Naruto shook his head.
"No, but we were going to do some when we all got home," Naruto told her. Kurenai nodded her head as she saw his group.
"Hey Anko-chan," Kurenai told her. Anko smiled as she looked at her friend.
"Hey Nai-chan," Anko said to her. Soon Kurenai and Anko engaged in a conversation over the Chunin Exams as Asuma looked at them, clearly irritated that he was ignored. Asuma took out his brass knuckles as he put a fist up at Naruto.
"Hey Naruto, I challenge you for Kurenai," Asuma said to him. Naruto looked at him and shook his head.
"Ya know Asuma, Kurenai is a person, not a prize to be won, so I won't fight you over her. I respect her too much for that," Naruto said to him causing Kurenai to blush. Asuma seethed as he charged forward at Naruto.
"Shut up and fight," He said to Naruto. Naruto sighed as Kurenai, and Naruto's group backed up. Naruto held his hand out as he caught Asuma's fist in his hand. Naruto looked at Kurenai.
"This is your call Kurenai-chan, I won't fight this guy if you don't want me to," Naruto told her. Kurenai smiled as she liked that Naruto put her opinion in it.
"I don't normally like guys fighting over me, but if it is you I can comply," Kurenai told him. Naruto smiled as he gripped Asuma's fist harder, making some bones crack. Asuma yelled in some pain as Naruto turned to him.
"Well there you have it, you got yourself a fight," Naruto said to him as he fight Asuma in the gut with his free hand. Asuma rubbed his stomach a bit from some pain.
"Fine then Naruto let's take this to the training field," Asuma said as he leapt away. Naruto sighed as he followed. His company soon followed the two also.
At the training field
Naruto and Asuma stood at opposite ends of the field as they looked in each others eyes. Asuma was thinking about how this fight was pointless since he was a Jonin and Naruto was officially a genin. Naruto was wondering how much of his power he should hide to make this fight fair. Soon Naruto's company came as everyone waited for the fight to start. Kurenai turned to see everyone who was with Naruto.
"Are you guys sure Naruto-kun will be okay?" Kurenai asked clearly worried. Everyone laughed a little, but knew that Kurenai didn't know. Tsume decided to talk.
"I don't date weak men Kurenai, I didn't think I would find myself with him either, but trust me when I saw that even though his rank is genin, Naruto-kun is probably the strongest in the village right now," Tsume said to her. Kurenai thought she should have her ears checked. Tsume just told her she was dating Naruto and that Naruto was probably the most powerful person in the village. Now when you think of the most powerful person you normally think the Hokage or one of the sannin, but never a genin. Kurenai decided to watch the match with interest.
"Ready Naruto?" Asuma said to him. Naruto chuckled as he cracked his knuckles.
"Bring it Asuma," Naruto said to him. Asuma nodded as Kiba put his hand up and brought it down.
"Begin," Kiba said as he backed away.
Asuma charged Naruto with his brass knuckles glowing with chakra. Naruto charged with a kunai as both clashed their weapons. Asuma already had to admit that Naruto was good. He blocked the brass knuckles as even held his own against Asuma in terms of strength. Naruto smiled as dispelled. Asuma became wide-eyed as he looked at nothing.
"Kage Bunshin?" He wondered. Suddenly he was kicked in the face by Naruto as he was sent into the trees making a loud crash. Naruto smiled at the destruction.
"Come on Asuma, you aren't done are you?" Naruto asked him. Asuma smiled jumped out of the trees, with a few scratches.
"Not bad, but I haven't got serious yet," Asuma said with a smile. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Please I am just plain bored here," Naruto thought to himself. Asuma ran forward in an attempt to get Naruto off his feet. Naruto simply side-stepped the jonin as he passed him. Asuma seethed as he pivoted his foot and launched at Naruto. Naruto sighed as Asuma swung left and right at him continuously as Naruto simply dodged them all. Everyone cheered as they saw Naruto dodge Asuma's attacks. Kurenai was at least surprised. Asuma just couldn't hit Naruto. Kurenai suddenly blushed as she saw Naruto wink at her while he dodged Asuma. Naruto smiled as he turned back to a struggling Asuma as he disappeared. Asuma quickly looked around in every possible direction.
"Oh here it comes," Shizune said to them.
"Here what comes?" Kiba asked her. Everyone else turned to Shizune as she smiled.
"Just watch, Asuma won't be able to block this, not even Itachi with his eyes could dodge this," Shizune said to them. Everyone turned their eyes back to the field.
"Well Asuma, I am bored so I will end this now," Naruto said to him. Asuma scoffed.
"If you can just try it," He told the blond.
"Alright," Naruto said as he appeared behind Asuma and walked towards his group.
"Done," Naruto said to him. Asuma turned only for immense pain to hit his body repeatedly. Asuma yelled as cuts ranging from small to big hit his body as he fell down. Naruto smiled.
"You couldn't even hear the wind could you?" Naruto told him. Naruto smiled as he walked back to his group, but stopped halfway and smirked.
"You really don't know how to stay down do you?" Naruto asked Asuma who got up and did some handsigns.
"Katon: HaisekishÅ( Fire style: Ash Pile Burning)," Asuma yelled as smoke came out of his mouth and engulfed Naruto. Asuma smirked as he took out his lighter.
"Know your place Naruto," Asuma said as he threw the lighter into the smoke and watched it burst with a huge explosion. Asuma smiled as he looked to see a giant crater in the middle of the field.
"Well that takes care of that," Asuma said as he turned to Kurenai.
"So do we have a date?" He asked with a smile. Kurenai looked at Asuma, then back at the smoke. She suddenly smiled, then blushed heavily along with Naruto's group(except Kiba). Asuma sighed as he turned around only to see Naruto standing virtually unscathed and shirtless exposing his abs and his finely tuned body.
"Aww Asuma, I really liked that shirt," Naruto joked to him. He turned to see Kurenai blushing at his body as he smiled.
"Do you like what you see Kurenai?" He asked as everyone turned to see her blush redden even more. Kurenai for herself was in her own thoughts over Naruto's body.
"T-That body, it's the hottest body I have ever seen, It's so Kami-like and strong, I would love to feel those muscles on my body," Kurenai said in her thoughts as Asuma could see that he completely lost her attention. Asuma turned around and faced Naruto.
"You know for a genin you are very nosy," Asuma said to him. Naruto smiled with a nod.
"Yeah, I get that a lot, but I am doing Kurenai a favor I guess," Naruto said as wind formed around his arm. Asuma narrowed his eyes at Naruto's arm.
"He know element training, but that is for Chunin and higher, this kid knows how to surprise people," Asuma thought as blue chakra ran through his blade. He pulled his arm back and smiled.
"Well no matter, he is still a genin, therefore I will always have the bigger advantage," Asuma said to himself as he and Naruto flew forward.
"Hien(Flying Swallow)," Asuma shouted as he ran at Naruto. Naruto smiled as his arm blazed out.
"Fuuton: Tengoku Tsubame(Wind Style: Heavenly Swallow)," Naruto yelled. Both shinobi collied with their techniques as the area exploded with a powerful wind that blew the trees away. Everyone enforced chakra to their feet as they tried to withstand the mighty explosion. As the winds calmed down, everyone looked to see a smiling Naruto over an unconcious Asuma. Naruto smiled as he picked up Asuma and sat him against a tree.
"Well that takes care of that," Naruto said to them. Everyone nodded as they came down to meet Naruto.
"That was a fine battle Naru-kun," Haku said to him.
"It's too bad that you had to hold so much back," Shizune said to him. Naruto smiled.
"Don't worry Shizune, when the time comes I will get serious," Naruto said with a slightly evil smile that everyone saw except, Kurenai. Kurenai smiled at the knocked out Asuma as she walked over to Naruto's group.
"Umm Naruto," Kurenai called to him. Naruto turned to her and smiled.
"Yes Kurenai-chan?" He asked.
"T-Thank you for all your help Naruto-kun," She said as she leaned down and kissed him on the cheek. Naruto blushed, but still smiled.
"Your welcome Kurenai-chan, well I will see you later," Naruto said as he and his group turned to leave.
"I..I...would like you to see me later," Kurenai said to him. Everyone stopped walking and turned to her. Naruto was almost stunned as he heard her.
"Does Kurenai-chan want a date with me?" Naruto asked her. Kurenai blushed even more as she looked at the ground.
"W-well N-Naruto-kun isn't like most of the perverts in this village, he is sweet, smart, strong, and I...I like him so yes I would like to date Naruto-kun," Kurenai said to him. Naruto smiled as he walked over to Kurenai. He slowly took her hand and kissed it making her blush even more red than her eyes.
"It would be my pleasure to date you tonight Kurenai-chan," Naruto told her. Kurenai smiled as gave Naruto another kiss on the cheek.
"Pick me up at 9?" She asked him. Naruto nodded.
"9 it is Kurenai-chan, see you until then," Naruto said to her. Kurenai nodded as she shunshined home a happy woman. Naruto smiled as he turned back to his group who were smirking.
"What are you people laughing at?" He asked them. As everyone calmed down, Tsume spoke.
"Nothing nothing Naruto-kun, it's just that you seem to be quite the ladies man," Tsume told him. Naruto blushed, but smiled nonetheless.
"Well what can I say, I love y ladies," Naruto said giving them each a kiss on the cheek that made them all blush. Everyone smiled as they walked back to the compound.
Namikaze Compound
As everyone got through the door, Naruto smiled when he saw Zabuza on the couch.
"How you doing Zabuza?" Naruto asked. Zabuza struggled to look up.
"Those techniques are monstrous, who ever made them...had to have been a genius," Zabuza said as he fell asleep leaving everyone smiling at him. While everyone relaxed, Tsume and Hana took the time to look over their future house. They were surprised of how clean it was and how big it was. The Inuzuka Compound paled in comparison to it.
"This place is so big, I really wouldn't mind living here," Tsume said to her daughter. Hana could only nod in agreement. As they stopped their tour, everyone went for lunch in the living room as they saw Naruto about to leave.
"Where are you going Naruto-kun?" Shizune asked him. Naruto turned around and smiled. He had only one word for everyone who was staring at him.
"Recruitment," Naruto said as he left leaving everyone in a good mood.
