Namikaze Compound, Nighttime
Naruto appeared in front of his house as he rubbed the bridge of his nose from the encounter he had with Jiraiya a few hours ago. Naruto sighed as Jiraiya seemed to be the only one he debated with himself about killing. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he walked inside the house. Naruto took the moment to see the various people around, but his eyes suddenly stopped on Minato, who seemed to be concentrating on a type of chakra exercise. Naruto turned his head and looked at the ground for a moment, but brought his head back up as he walked towards his father. Minato feeling Naruto's presence opened his eyes as he turned to meet his son.
"Naruto, what's the problem?" Minato asked him eyeing Naruto's slightly distressed look. Naruto's eyes seemed lost for a while, but turned back to Minato as he decided to come up with his own question.
"Tou-san, can we go somewhere and talk?" Naruto asked him. Minato quirked up an eyebrow at the question, but nodded as he got up and followed Naruto into the woods leaving the house behind. After walking for nearly 15 minutes, Naruto turned around to face his father as both stared at each other for a second. The silence was slightly deafening, but Naruto breathed easily as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Tou-san, if someone that you loved and admired betrayed you, do you think that you could forgive them?" Naruto asked him surprising the Yondaime. Minato looked into Naruto's eyes and saw utter seriousness in them as he wondered what brought this on. Minato adopted a thinking pose for a second before answering. Naruto didn't really mind, he wanted his father's honest opinion. After a few minutes, Minato raised his head for his eyes to meet Naruto's as a smile came across his face.
"It would definitely be hard for me to do, but I cherish that person more than anything and I would want to stay with them forever. I would also ask that person for the reason behind their betrayal. I'm sure my trust in them would diminish, but with time I am sure I could forgive them. Naruto no matter how much someone has hurt you, I know that you still care for that person if they are your precious person. I would even go so far as to try and deny it until I found the facts. In this world Naruto, you always have to look underneath the underneath. Not everything may be as it seems to you. Any number of things could happen, but as for me, I am sure that I could find some way to forgive them," Minato said to him. Naruto looked Minato over as his words echoed in his mind. Mentally, Naruto was cursing his indecision regarding Jiraiya. He had steeled himself into saying that he would kill Jiraiya for what he did, but after what his father said, there were a number of things he would have to consider before just killing Jiraiya. Something could have happened with the Elder Toad, or maybe he received some false information. Hell, it could have even been a genjutsu. Naruto knew not many things could control Jiraiya of all people, but it was still a possibility. Naruto closed his eyes for a second as he went over all the years he had been with Jiraiya. The training, the quality time, the constant bickering and the many times that they got into trouble together, it all made Naruto snicker. Even though Minato couldn't see it, a small smile came across Naruto's face as he slowly opened his eyes. Naruto looked at his father and smiled. Naruto knew his father was right. Naruto didn't think it over enough. Naruto knew Jiraiya and he knew that Jiraiya wouldn't betray him for anything, much less women of all things.
"Thank you Tou-san. I needed that. I'm not sure how I can go around it, but I will try it out," Naruto told him. Minato smirked, but soon had a confused look on his face.
"But why did you need this talk?" Minato asked him. Naruto smiled as he slumped his shoulders slightly.
"I'd rather keep that to myself Tou-san. It's quite important that I do," Naruto told him. Minato looked at his son for a second, but nodded as both went back to the house. Minato turned to see Naruto with a foxy grin as said blond closed his eyes keeping the same grin.
"You get one more chance Jiraiya. Don't ruin it," Naruto thought to himself as the father and son duo returned to the house. Naruto walked inside as Minato took out a kunai and teleported to someplace. Naruto looked around the house and soon found Anko in her room as Naruto walked in.
"Hey Anko-chan. How are you doing?" Naruto asked her. Anko smiled as she turned to see her future husband. Anko unconsciously looked at her ring, but turned back to Naruto.
"Hey Naruto-kun, I'm doing well. So are you and Jiraiya going to find Tsunade soon?" Anko asked him. Naruto smirked as he leaned on the door ledge.
"That's right Anko-chan, we leave tomorrow morning, but your coming with us," Naruto told her. Anko widened her eyes at Naruto before standing up.
"Why am I going?" She asked him really wanting to know. Naruto smirked as he leaned off the ledge and stood back up.
"It's a surprise Anko-chan, but trust me you are going to love it," Naruto told her. Anko chuckled with a nod as she took out her backpack.
"Well, I guess I will pack then. How long are we going to be out?" Anko asked. Naruto adopted a thinking pose for a second, but soon got her answer.
"Maybe a few weeks or more. At least pack for 5 weeks," Naruto responded. Anko nodded with a grin as she started to pack. Naruto decided to bid her goodbye as he walked back to his room. Naruto opened the door as he saw Shizune on the bed reading another of her books. Naruto walked past her as he took out some scrolls and started to seal some things in them as Shizune turned her head.
"Going to find Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked him. Naruto nodded as he finished the first scroll and turned to the second one.
"That's right, though with any luck this will turn out exactly like last time, but if it doesn't well then I will be more than happy with the unexpected," Naruto told her. Shizune chuckled with a nod as she turned back to her book.
"So how far are you into that book?" Naruto asked her trying to spark a little conversation. Shizune gave a small grin as she turned to him.
"I'm still at the beginning of it, but I feel like I could get a position with the Interrogation department," Shizune told him with a hint of pride in her speak. Naruto could only chuckle as he finished his sealing and put the two scrolls into a backpack. Naruto placed the backpack aside as he got up again.
"Well I guess I might as well go to sleep. I have a long day tomorrow," Naruto told her. Shizune nodded with a smile as she put down her book. Naruto changed his clothes along with Shizune as both went to sleep and prepared for the next day.
Early Next Morning
Naruto opened his eyes as he rose to his feet and headed to the shower. Naruto turned his head to see Shizune still sleeping as a small smile came across his face. Naruto turned back to the direction he was going in as he entered the bathroom. Naruto unhenged his appearance as his fox features rolled out. Naruto poured the warm water over his body as his ears twitched from the feeling of the water. Naruto washed his body down to his tail as he turned off the water. Naruto shook his head and body as the water rolled off his tail and his head. Naruto soon grabbed a towel as he exited shower. Naruto wiped his ears as he went back into his room and quickly put on some clothes. Naruto wore a red and black combo shirt along with some black pants. Over it, Naruto wore a coat similar to his former toad sage coat, but this one was black and had red flames at the bottom. Naruto then strapped his sword to his back to complete the set as he put his scrolls and equipment in his backpack and left the room.
"See you in a few weeks Shizune-chan," Naruto said as he closed the door. Naruto walked down the stairs as he saw Anko at the door waiting for him.
"Ready to go Anko-chan?" Naruto asked her. Anko smirked with a nod as she picked up her backpack as both exited the house. Naruto and Anko ran through the woods as they came into the village. Both jumped on the rooftops as they headed for the Konoha Gates. Naruto's ears twitched slightly to the right as a smile graced his face. Anko saw the smile and quirked up an eyebrow at what Naruto could be smiling about right now.
"Naruto, what's up? Why are you smiling?" Anko asked him. Naruto turned to her and slightly scratched his head at how he should explain it.
"Well Anko-chan, to sum it up...two guests have arrived to Konoha. I guess it's a good thing we're leaving, but you'll know who I'm talking about soon enough," Naruto told her. Anko nodded with a slight look of confusion as both saw Jiraiya come into view. Naruto for once in a good long while, was actually happy to see Jiraiya as both he and Anko made their presence known to Jiraiya.
"Hey Naruto, Anko. Your both right on time," Jiraiya said to them. Naruto and Anko nodded as Jiraiya began the details of the mission.
"Alright, we are going to look for Tsunade now. My sources tell me that she is near some gambling town. So we will search all the major and minor places for gambling as we try to find her. I guess we should start going now," Jiraiya told them. Both jonin nodded at the sannin as they exited the village gates and walked along the dirt road. Jiraiya took the lead on the group as they all watched Konoha get smaller and smaller behind them. Naruto smiled as he winked at Anko, but soon walked up to Jiraiya as he brought the toad sage's eyes towards him.
"Jiraiya, I'm sorry for how I acted those few times. I did a lot of thinking and I felt that I should say sorry. I do slightly hate you for leaving me, but I got over it," Naruto told him, masking the real intent to his apology. Jiraiya stared in awe at his godson, but smiled as he patted Naruto's shoulder.
"No, Naruto I'm sorry. I should have been there for you more. Your father told me to look after you and I didn't. I still want to say I'm sorry. I want to get to know my godson now," Jiraiya told him. Naruto chuckled slightly as he wished Jiraiya knew the truth, but he decided to keep that a secret a bit longer his sake and Jiraiya's sake also. Naruto just nodded as the three shinobi continued to walk to first town.
"Say Naruto, to make up for time, how about I teach you one of the Yondaime's techniques," Jiraiya told him. Naruto smirked as he turned to Jiraiya.
"Thank you pervert, but I already know the Rasengan along with the Hiraishin. I'm happy you want to, but I will decline that offer, let's just find Tsunade," Naruto told him. Jiraiya was slightly surprised that Naruto said that, but quickly nodded with a smile. However, Naruto's statement resonated in Jiraiya's mind as the toad sage's scoffed.
"I am not a pervert!" Jiraiya yelled. Naruto smirked as he turned to the sage.
"Let me guess, your a super pervert," Naruto said to him. Jiraiya did his goofy laugh as he placed his hands on his sides.
"I am not a super pervert. I...am an ultra pervert," Jiraiya said as Anko sweatdropped.
"Is that anything to be proud of?" Anko thought as the trio continued to walk and search for the slug princess.
Back in Konoha, Afternoon
Kakashi could be seen inside a cafe eating some food as he sighed from his conversation with Sasuke the other day.
"I guess Sasuke must really be feeling down. He was always the person people adored and praised. They still do all of that stuff, but everyone is convinced that he doesn't stand a chance against Naruto. The way the Chunin exams went I can only imagine how powerless he must feel right now," Kakashi said to himself as he stared at a cup of tea. Out of the reflection of the tea, Kakashi saw two people leave the cafe as he got up also. Kakashi gave a soft chase behind them as the group of two came to a vacant area of the village. Kakashi decided to make his presence known as he appeared across from them.
"Who are you and why are you in Konoha?" Kakashi demanded to know as he took out a kunai.
"Well, it seems that we have been found out," Kisame said as he and Itachi turned their heads to meet the copy ninja's eye. Itachi and Kisame removed their straw hats as Kakashi narrowed his eye at what he was facing.
"Your Itachi Uchiha. S-rank missing nin from Konoha and Kisame Hoshigaki, S-rank missing nin from Kiri. So you two are Akatsuki members," Kakashi said as Kisame gave a chuckle. Itachi remained stoic throughout the ordeal as Kisame removed his sword.
"It seems you know a lot about our organization. Then you also know what we're here for," Itachi told him in an emotionless tone. Kakashi lifted up his headband to reveal his sharingan as he was about to respond to Itachi's statement.
"You two are here for Naruto, or more to your case the Kyuubi no Yoko right?" Kakashi asked them. Itachi closed his eyes, but quickly opened them as he nodded.
"That's right Kakashi. Hand over the jinchuuriki and we will go. Don't make this a problem," Itachi responded to him. Kakashi cursed as he was all alone and had no way of contacting anyone else for help.
"Sorry, but no. Naruto is a Konoha shinobi and the people of Konoha will fight to protect their own," Kakashi told him. Kisame's chuckle turned into a full blown laugh while Itachi sighed.
"I highly disagree with that Kakashi. We know how the Kyuubi jinchuuriki was treated. I bet more than eighty percent of Konoha would be happy that we took Naruto and they wouldn't bat an eyelash about it," Itachi said keeping his calm demeanor. Kakashi cursed as he knew that Itachi was probably right. Kakashi knew how Konoha treated Naruto. Any civilian would probably jump at the chance to hand Naruto over to the Akatsuki organization. Kakashi tightened his kunai in his hand as he stared at the two S-ranked missing nins.
"No matter how small a number it is, there are people who will fight to protect Naruto in this village," Kakashi said to them. Itachi quirked up an eyebrow while Kisame gave a sharp smile.
"And what type of people might those be?" Itachi asked. Kakashi smirked as he closed his eyes and felt the two chakra signatures a few feet away from him. Soon both appeared behind Kakashi while Itachi narrowed his eyes and Kisame whistled.
"Well there is us after all," someone said which made Kakashi turned around with a smile. Kakashi smirked as he saw Kurenai with a confident smile and also Kushina Uzumaki next to her.
"Wow, Konoha's security has gone downhill. You'd think it would have improved, but I guess not," Kushina said as Kurenai chuckled.
"I guess we need to tell Hokage-sama when we are done here," Kurenai said to Kushina. Kakashi turned back to the S-rank missing nins as he saw Itachi's attention on Kushina.
"Kushina Uzumaki. Mother of Naruto Uzumaki. Former S-ranked ninja of Konoha. Kenjutsu legend. It said you disappeared from view and haven't been seen since," Itachi told her. Kushina smiled as she unsheathed one of her swords as she turned to Itachi.
"Wow Itachi, you've grown and it seems that you've become a criminal. That's a shame, I always like you," Kushina as she charged at Itachi. Kushina's blade was soon deflected by Kisame as Kushina turned her eyes to the fish-man.
"Your gonna interfere with me?" Kushina asked him. Kisame smirked as he and Kushina jumped onto a stream of water and stared each other down.
"Well this is going to be interesting now," Kisame said as he and Kushina charged each other. Kushina smirked as she pivoted her foot and disappeared. Kisame quickly turned his eyes to see Kushina aim her sword at his neck. Kisame countered by bringing his sword around and intercepted Kushina. Kushina added chakra to her sword while Kisame went through his handsigns fast. Kushina brought her sword back as Kisame finished his jutsu signs.
"Suiton: Suikōdan no Jutsu(Water Style: Water Shark Bomb Jutsu)," Kisame yelled as he sent five sharks at Kushina. Kushina smirked as she swung her sword and unleashed her kenjutsu technique.
"Akuma Kaze no Shinsen( Tremor of the Demon Wind)," Kushina yelled as she sent an eery green wave of chakra at the shark causing them all to slice in half and dispel into the water. Kisame chuckled as he put his sword out in front of him as it took Kushina's technique. Kisame was pushed back a few feet, but soon the green wave vanished as Kushina raised an eyebrow.
"My sword eats chakra lady. You just gave it a nice buffet," Kisame said to her. Kushina smirked as she sheathed her sword and took out another one.
"Well then let's see how much it eats until it bursts," Kushina said as she charged back at Kisame.
With Itachi
While Kisame was having fun with Kushina, Itachi was facing off against Kurenai and Kakashi. Kakashi was ready to fight as Kurenai did some handsigns as she disappeared. Itachi narrowed his eyes before he found himself bound to a tree. Kurenai smirked as she came out of the tree with a kunai in her hand.
"Time to die Itachi," Kurenai said with Itachi closed his eyes. Kurenai gasped as she fell out of tree and jumped back next to Kakashi.
"How did he dispel my genjutsu?" Kurenai asked while Kakashi narrowed his eyes again.
"He's an Uchiha, Kurenai. He was able to see through it with the sharingan. You should stay back. Only I can fight him," Kakashi told her. Kurenai shifted her eyes to Kakashi and sighed as she backed away.
"Try not to die Kakashi," Kurenai told him. Kakashi nodded with a chuckle as he faced off with Itachi. Itachi soon flowed his hands through his hair as Kakashi kept himself ready for anything. Itachi pulled out three shuriken as Kakashi gasped. Kakashi backed up fast as the water exploded around him. Kakashi smirked, but saw a kage bunshin of Itachi next to him as his eyes locked with Itachi's. Kakashi cursed as the world around him changed. Kakashi opened his eyes to see he was tied to a type of cross while Itachi appeared with a sword in his hand.
"Welcome to the Tsukuyomi Kakashi. Here time is at my command," Itachi said as he pierced Kakashi's side to which the copy ninja winced in pain. Itachi jerked the sword around while Kakashi grunted from the pain. Itachi slowly pulled the sword out while he saw the blood stained sword.
"I'll keep cutting you like this, for the next 72 hours," Itachi said as multiple images of him appeared in front of Kakashi.
"C-Calm down, it's just an illusion. Try to break it," Kakashi said to himself while Itachi stuck another sword in hurting Kakashi.
"You can try to tell yourself that this is an illusion, but this is very real and you can feel it all," Itachi said as he impaled Kakashi multiple times in the illusion. Itachi soon deactivated the sharingan as Kakashi fell to the floor.
"Kakashi!" Kurenai yelled as she interrupted the fight. Itachi turned to see Kisame skid next to him after a kick from Kushina as Kushina looked at Kakashi.
"Looks like Kakashi is down," Kushina said as she turned to Kisame and Itachi.
"Well are we going to continue?" Kushina asked as she pointed her sword at Kisame. Kisame slightly grumbled, but smirked as he readied his sword.
"Alright lady, let's finish this," Kisame said to her. Itachi held his hand out as he stopped Kisame from advancing.
"No Kisame, we're pulling out," Itachi said to him. Kisame turned to Itachi and grumbled.
"Aww, why are we Itachi? We can finish them off," Kisame said to him.
"We aren't here to fight a full scale battle. Any more waste of chakra is unnecessary and I can sense the anbu on their way. Let's go," Itachi told him. Kisame seemed to curse, but complied.
"Oh well, I guess your right. Let's go then. It was fun ladies," Kisame said to them. Both soon disappeared as Kushina sheathed her sword. She walked over to Kurenai, who was holding Kakashi.
"Well that was something else," Kushina said to which Kurenai nodded. Both women stayed on the field for a while, but left the area as the anbu arrived on the scene. Kushina and Kurenai took Kakashi to the hospital as they left him in the doctor's care. Both soon left as they decided to see Sarutobi about the incident.
"So do you think Kakashi will be alright?" Kurenai asked. Kushina sighed as she shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm not sure. His mind is probably shattered from the fight with Itachi. I hope Naruto gets to Tsunade soon," Kushina said as both entered the Hokage mansion to deliver their news.
With Sasuke
Sasuke walked randomly around the village with a look of extra scowl on his face as he tried to find Kakashi so that he could learn something new. Sasuke turned to the hospital to see a brief cameo of Kakashi as he ran inside. Sasuke saw the doctors carry the chunin into a random room as there appeared to be jonin waiting in the room. Everyone looked Kakashi over as someone sighed.
"Man, he looks terrible. I heard from the anbu, they said that they felt Uchiha Itachi's chakra signature in the village. Apparently he along with others are trying to capture all the jinchuuriki and their bijuu. In other words that Kyuubi brat Naruto Uzumaki," one of the jonin said as Sasuke walked into the room. Everyone turned to Sasuke fast as the man covered his mouth fast. Sasuke suddenly scowled again as he ran out of the room. Sasuke exited the hospital as he ran through the streets.
"He's here. Itachi was here and he's looking for the dobe. I better find him before he gets his ass killed," Sasuke said to himself while forgetting just who he was talking about. Sasuke ran at an extreme speed as he heard that Naruto left with Jiraiya and Anko to find some Tsunade lady.
"Dammit, where are you dobe?" Sasuke yelled as he tried to find Naruto and in link find Itachi.
With Naruto, Jiraiya, and Anko
Naruto and Anko rented a room for all three of them as Jiraiya walked off to find information regarding Tsunade. Naruto put his bag down along with Anko as they rested for a bit.
"So how far until we actually find her?" Anko asked him. Naruto smirked as he laid on his bed.
"Not long I think, but we are quite far from her. It won't be long considering Jiraiya's spy network," Naruto told her. Anko nodded with a smile as they continued to rest on the bed. Naruto's ears twitched as he smirked. Naruto turned to Anko and smiled.
"Anko-chan, unhenge your ears. You might need the added chakra boost," Naruto told her. Anko looked at him for a second, but sensed two large chakra signatures, while both were massive. One was so large that it matched hers with her most of her features unhenged, but was nothing compared to Naruto's chakra. Anko nodded as she unhenged her ears while Naruto opened the door.
"Hello," Naruto said as he stared at Itachi and Kisame in front of the door. Naruto had a hidden smirk on his face as he looked at the two.
"I might as well say hi to the two new members for Konoha's destruction," Naruto thought as Itachi stepped forward.
"Naruto Uzumaki, come with us. You are needed," Itachi told him. Kisame smirked as he slightly showed his sword to Naruto. Naruto in turn smirked as Anko came behind him.
"Well Naruto-kun, it looks like you have some company," Anko said to him. Naruto chuckled as he and Anko walked out and closed the door.
"Sorry Itachi, but I'm not going anywhere. It's not like it matters if you take me or not. You won't get the Kyuubi," Naruto told him as if it were the simplest thing in the world. Itachi quirked up an eyebrow at Naruto, while Kisame took the distraction and kicked Anko into a wall causing a crater.
"Itachi, this kid has quite the mouth. Shall I give him a little punishment," Kisame asked him. Itachi stared at Naruto for a minute and nodded. Kisame smirked as he raised his sword above his head. Naruto smirked as he unhenged his ears while Kisame brought his sword down. Naruto held out his hand as he caught the sword which surprised Itachi and Kisame. Naruto smirked as he felt his chakra get drained by Kisame's sword.
"So that's one of the swords of Kiri. Not bad Kisame. However, you won't beat me just by draining my chakra. Besides, you aren't going to get all of it," Naruto said to which confused Kisame. Kisame didn't know that half of Naruto's chakra network was made of youki and not capable of being drained by Samehada. Naruto smirked as he turned to Itachi.
"Now then Itachi. It seems you two underestimated me. However I guess if you are going after me, then the other jinchuuriki and their bijuu are in danger also," Naruto said as Itachi narrowed his eyes. Itachi and Kisame clearly underestimated Naruto and now he was showing so much more knowledge than he should have had. Naruto turned back Kisame as he drew his sword.
"This sword is called Chiyoru. It constantly craves blood, but it's hunger intensifies at night. Those with weak wills or weak hearts will be consumed by it's blood lust. You know what it craves...it craves some sushi," Naruto said as he made a fast slash across Kisame's chest. Kisame having underestimated Naruto didn't move fast enough as a slash appeared across his chest. Kisame grabbed his sword as he backed up and held his wound. Naruto smirked he felt Chiyoru vibrate.
"It seems to like your blood Kisame," Naruto said to him. Kisame slightly cursed as he readied his sword. Naruto smiled again as he turned his head.
"Well it seems that someone else is joining us," Naruto said to them. Itachi knew who it was while Kisame saw the boy in the back. Naruto looked to see Anko sitting on the floor with a smile on her face while she watched the fun unfold.
"Itachi who is that kid?" Kisame asked him. Itachi sighed as he turned around.
"He is...my younger brother," Itachi said as Naruto smirked.
"Hey Sasuke-chan. Glad you could make it to the party," Naruto told him. Kisame slightly chuckled at that while Sasuke seethed at the sight of Itachi. Sasuke's sharingan flared as his left hand cackled.
"Itachi, I have kept what you told me in my heart. I have hated you, I have despised you. I have power and I will use it to end you!" Sasuke yelled as he ran at Itachi.
"Chidori," Sasuke yelled as he destroyed the left side of the hotel walls. Naruto smirked as he backed up away from the two and appeared near Anko. Sasuke continued to run at Itachi as the hallway exploded from the impact of the chidori. Everyone looked to see Itachi with his hand on Sasuke's wrist as the Uchiha seethed at him. Itachi soon broke Sasuke's wrist as Sasuke screamed out in pain. Itachi decided to have some quality time with Sasuke as he kicked his little brother into the wall. Sasuke cursed as he fell to the floor and gasp. Before he could rebound, Itachi appeared in front of him as he punched and kicked Sasuke all over the place. Naruto and Anko smiled while Kisame watched the interaction also. Itachi picked up Sasuke as he slammed him to the wall.
"Your still too weak. You don't have enough hate," Itachi said as he forced Sasuke to look into his eyes. Suddenly, Sasuke was in the tsukuyomi as Itachi made him relive his clan's massacre. Sasuke mind suddenly shattered as Itachi let him go sending him to the floor. Naruto smirked along with Anko as Itachi turned back to Naruto.
"Kisame we're leaving. We will continue our assignment later," Itachi said as he and Kisame disappeared. Naruto smirked as he turned to Anko.
"Never a dull moment eh Anko-chan?" Naruto asked her. Anko smirked as she got up.
"No it isn't Naruto-kun," Anko told him. Naruto soon opened the door to their room as he turned to Anko.
"Now please tell me why you didn't help me out?" Naruto asked her. Anko smiled her usual smile as she walked inside the door.
"You seemed to be enjoying yourself so I figured that you didn't need any help," Anko told him. Naruto chuckled with a nod as both entered the room. Soon enough Jiraiya appeared as he saw Sasuke on the ground and a giant hole in the side wall.
"Oh Ero-sennin, it seems Itachi and Kisame were here. They dealt with Sasuke quite quickly. We should get him some help or he could collapse again," Naruto told him. Jiraiya nodded as he sent a toad to Sarutobi for someone to help Sasuke. After 30 minutes of waiting, Gai came through the wall as he made a dramatic entrance.
"Good day Jiraiya-sama. I am here to get Sasuke Uchiha some help," Gai said to him. Jiraiya nodded as he tried to avert his gaze from the awful jumpsuit that Gai was wearing. Gai soon picked up Sasuke as he left. Jiraiya sighed as he appeared in the room as Naruto and Anko stood on the bed.
"Well it seems that Akatsuki is on the move. They aim to collect all the bijuu from the jinchuuriki, but for what I don't know," Jiraiya told them. Naruto narrowed his eyes as he did know, but it wasn't happening for them and he knew that. Naruto smirked as he knew that his fellow jinchuuriki might need some help.
"Well we should go and find Tsunade fast, so you can help me train then," Naruto said to him. Jiraiya chuckled with a nod as he, Naruto, and Anko got up.
"Alright I was able to pinpoint Tsunade to a nearby town. We'd better hurry up or we could lose her. Kami only knows where she would go if we don't get her know," Jiraiya said which caused Naruto and Anko to chuckle. Everyone decided not to stick around to pay for the damages as they all grabbed their stuff and shunshined out of sight so that no one knew they were ever there as they decided to continue their search for Tsunade and bring her home.
