"Where the hell is my godson!" Jiraya yelled, storming into the Hokage's office.
"Wait, he's not at his apartment?" Sarutobi questioned.
"No! Now where is he?!" Jiraya yelled yet again, infuriated that his student's only legacy was now missing.
"Jiraya, calm down. I'll have the most trusted ANBU search him out," Sarutobi said calmly. "By the way, could you check the village gates to see if the people from Kumo are here yet? You never know if the guards are going to give them a hard time."
"Fine, but I better know where my godson is by the time the meeting with Kumo is over," Jiraya said, grudgingly, as he walked out of the elder Hokage's office.
"Alright, you guys heard me, search for Naruto. Inu, use your dog summons and sniff him out, while the rest of you search his favorite places," Hiruzen said, lighting his pipe. 'You better be ok, Naruto,' Hiruzen thought, readying to do some paperwork.
10 minutes later
"He got out of the village? HOW THE HELL DID HE GET OUT OF HERE AND NOBODY NOTICED!?" Hiruzen yelled, loud enough that the Raikage shuddered in his office. The Inu ANBU was scared beyond hell at this point. Not many things had gotten the Hokage pissed off like this, and that wasn't even the worst part.
"Umm, Hokage-sama, that's not the worst part," Inu started, but stopped when he saw Hiruzen glare so hard it would kill a civilian.
"How the HELL is there more?" Sarutobi growled through clenched teeth. Inu sweat dropped, fearing for his life at this point.
"Well, it seems as though he disappeared. Like, Hirashin disappeared, and there's two other smells in the area where he disappeared along with a small remnant of the fox's chakra," Inu said, readying to dodge in case Hiruzen were to throw something.
"How the hell could he disappear? And who the hell do the smells belong to?" Sarutobi asked.
"They seem to belong to two other jinchurikis, though I have no idea who they are," Inu said, hoping this much info would keep him from getting demoted.
"Yes, well, it seems as though you've done your best. I know how close you were to Naruto, so I'm taking you off the search mission. You and Itachi both are removed due to the fact he was like a little brother to you two," Hiruzen said, calming down, though still flustered.
"Sarutobi-sensei, the Kumo ninja have yet to arrive, oh, hello Inu-san," Jiraya said, standing on the ledge of the window.
"Ah, Jiraya, I have a special mission for you and a few ANBU of your choice. Although Weasel and Inu-san are automatically removed from the line up because of their close relationship to Naruto, you can choose any of the ANBU. I will brief you on the mission parameters once you have chosen the ANBU," Sarutobi said, receiving a nod from the toad sage.
"I'll do it on one condition; Inu-san AND Weasel-san are to come along with me. If they come with me, then hopefully, if Naruto went on his own accord, they will be able to talk him back to the village, given their close relationship to Naruto," Jiraya stated, allowing no room for argument. Hiruzen nodded in defeat; when Jiraya set his mind on something, there was no changing it.
"Besides, I'll only need Inu and Weasel, as I'm going to be picking up a former teammate on the way here," Jiraya said. Hiruzen looked on in confusion.
"Depends on which teammate," Sarutobi said, hoping it was who he thought it was.
"Don't worry it's not Orichimaru-teme. First I have to track her down, however," Jiraya said, smirking mischievously.
"If you do any of your research on this mission, I will have both Inu and Weasel tell Tsunade," Sarutobi shot back an equally mischievous smile. Jiraya sweat dropped in remembrance of the last time Tsunade caught him doing some of his 'research'.
"Hey, that's not funny! The last time she found out she nearly killed me and then refused to heal me!" Jiraya yelled, while Inu shifted nervously.
"Alright, we're getting off topic. Inu, tell Weasel to pack for a long mission, and you do the same. Jiraya, I'm guessing you had already heard about Naruto?" Sarutobi questioned, receiving a nod from the toad sage, "Good. I'll be expecting you all to leave by midnight tonight. Dismissed." Sarutobi sighed, watching as two of his best ninja left the room. Now he had even more paper work to do.
Raikage's Office
"Hmm, this is an interesting development. Konoha seems to be sending out a team of their best ninja, sannin included, to search for Naruto," A said aloud to no one in particular. After all, no one was in the room, except for his most loyal ANBU guard. There was a sudden knock at the door, weird as the receptionist didn't say anybody up. He sent a quiet signal for his guard to be ready. After all, wit Konoha on the look out for Naruto, he could never be too cautious.
"Come in," A said, watching as the door was pushed open to reveal Naruto.
"Hi Raikage-sama. I wanted to ask you something," Naruto said, waiting for the Raikage to speak.
"Of course, you can ask me anything Naruto," A said, smiling warmly at the blonde.
"Can I train under Mr. B? I want to be able to protect myself and everyone around me," Naruto said, receiving a light chuckle from A.
"Of course you can, you just have to ask him yourself. And might I say, that is one noble cause to become stronger for. With the right training, you'll become one hell of a ninja someday," A said, chuckling as he saw Naruto's expression brighten at these words.
"Thank you Raikage-sama!" Naruto yelled in excitement.
"It was nothing, though I do want to know something; how did you sneak past the guards in the tower?" A asked, wondering how to fix his defenses.
"Well, when you're hiding from shinobi trying to kill you, you learn real fast how to disguise and camouflage yourself," Naruto said, smiling as he walked out of the office. A smiled; that boy was really something. He snuck past 15 ANBU and not a single one noticed him. He would be one promising ninja…
AN: Alright, that's it for Ch. 2. Before someone asks, Naruto is living with Bee right now. I have NOT decided what I'm going to be able to do with the Konoha retrieval team, though I think I may have an idea. As always, thank you for viewing, and review please. Ideas are accepted.
