A/N Hello fellow FF members and visitors alike, this 9tailsfox2 with chapter 16 of Escape! Hmm don't want to say anything about this beforehand, so lets cut to the chase, italics means thoughts.


The next day began their training, and as that they already found Tsunade, they did not need any further search party clones and concentrated on training. For Sasuke, he was being trained in shadow clones, to which Kakashi assisted thanks to his sharingan eye, Hanabi and Naruto began their chakra shape training, which is the step before elemental training. The difference between Naruto and Hanabi is that Naruto would get a much more extensive and training in power and control, Hanabi would be training in accuracy and control. For today Sasuke would be training under Kakashi while Hanabi and Naruto would be training under Jiraiya as their next step are similar as Jiraiya would teach Naruto the Rasengan and Hanabi a way to shape chakra into a needle like form and launch it at enemies, or the Chakra Hari no Jutsu (Chakra Needle Jutsu).

Once she mastered that, if Naruto was still working on the Rasengan, he would have her try and figure out how to decrease the size giving her the ability to use Jyuuken Techniques from a distance and he decided let Hanabi name the Jutsu when she was done with it. Since Sasuke did not have the Chakra reserves that Naruto and Hanabi had, it would take him longer than one night to master Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Then after learning that, Kakashi planned on having him increase his chakra reserves to catch up to Naruto and Hanabi, or at least until Naruto and Hanabi have learned their techniques, well that's the plan anyway.

Jiraiya smirked as he made two clones and just walked away. Hanabi shook her head. "So you're just going to leave us with clones?"

Jiraiya stopped and laughed. "Yeah how would expect me to do my research if I'm stuck babysitting children, and if you do hit me, you will be on your own to figure out your techniques."

Hanabi grumbled. "Well at least I'm not some lonely old man who has nothing going for him except some perverted old novels."

Jiraiya shook his head. "Hey, at least I'm doing something with my life and thanks to your relationship; I think I might start some sort of lolicon series."

Hanabi get mad at that. "I swear to Kami I will burn all your notes on lolicon, and if I catch you writing about anything based on my relationship with Ruto-Kun, your entire collection will be burned."

Jiraiya was stunned. "You wouldn't."

Hanabi smirked as she took out Jiraiya's notebook and a lighter. "Oh yeah? Well here you go!" Hanabi began laughing as the books turned to embers.

Jiraiya smirked at that. "You may not know this, but I make a copy of whatever notes make of that day."

Hanabi nodded her head. "I thought you might." Hanabi then took out Jiraiya's second notebook labeled 'Copy'. "Now that I have your backup hostage, if you write any notes on lolicon, bye bye copy notebook, which I'd imagine has much more material than the one I just burned."

Jiraiya shook his head. "Well I won't teach you then."

Hanabi began laughing, "I'll find a new teacher then, if I recall, I'll probably only need you for chakra manipulation, but I could always get Kakashi to help me."

Jiraiya sighed. "But Kakashi said that and I quote. 'If I have to wind up teaching Naruto or Hanabi or both when you were able to, then I will tell Tsunade...' Well never mind that part."

Hanabi smirked. "Never mind what part?"

Jiraiya grumbled. "I don't have to tell you."

Hanabi shrugged as she flicked the lighter on, "Then I guess Tsunade will be finding out won't she?"

Jiraiya began waving his hands to make Hanabi stop. "Wait, wait, wait, stop! I'll tell you. Kakashi said that if one or both of you shows up to get trained by him when I'm supposed to, the he'll tell Tsunade that I have a rather … nice personality…"

Hanabi, being only 8 years old did not get it, until Naruto 'whispered' rather loudly. "ERO-SENSEI HAS A SMALL PENIS!?" Hanabi began laughing so hard that she was rolling on the ground holding her stomach.

Jiraiya face palmed as he grumbled. "What the hell. You know what, screw it. I'm not teaching you two…"

While Hanabi was still laughing, Naruto picked up the notebook and lighter. "What are you screwing? An ant? But then again, won't an ant crush it?" Hanabi began laughing even harder.

Jiraiya was about to release his clones. "Screw you guys I'm going home!"

"Well then I guess you won't need your notes. Let's not forget a little what if your teammate, along with every single of your loyal readers will find about your 'little' secret'. Oh yeah, about the screwing us part, you can try but rest assured, we already did that to each other, and we probably won't even feel it."

Jiraiya then began shaking what Naruto said. "You wouldn't dare."

Naruto nodded his head. "Oh I would, I could right now release your new material, Hanabi and I did leave a clone, I could make a clone and make it go poof and it will know what to do. So what do you say? Will you teach us?"

Jiraiya hung his head down as he accepted his defeat. "That's blackmailing isn't it?"

Hanabi, who had managed to miraculously stop laughing, got up. "I'm sorry, we don't give fuck! Unless if it's to each other…" Hanabi

Naruto groaned. "Really Nabi-Chan? How many times do you plan on teasing me?"

Hanabi giggled. "As many times as it takes until it stops being funny."

Naruto hung his head. "Which is never."

Hanabi nodded her head. "You got that right."

The Original Jiraiya walked away frustrated as the Clone Jiraiyas faced their students. One of the Clones stepped up. "Ok, before we get any further, the reason why I gave you two a clone each is because I am going to teach you two a jutsu each, and from there you will personalize it to your fighting style. Naruto, I'm going to teach you the only Rank-A non-elemental jutsu there is, the Rasengan."

Naruto looked confused but Hanabi brightened up at that. "You mean The Fourth's Legendary Jutsu!? Why does he get to learn that but I won't! I mean even though I wanted to learn healing and summoning, it would still be helpful to learn a few kick ass techniques!"

Jiraiya smirked. "Well The Rasengan fits Naruto perfectly as there are no hand signs required to learn this but for you, I shall teach you the Chakra Hari no Jutsu."

Hanabi crossed her arms. "So he gets to learn an awesome A-Rank Jutsu, and all I get is a stupid C-Rank!?"

Jiraiya laughed. "After you learn the Jutsu, you are going to upgrade it to B-Rank."

Hanabi got confused. "How?"

Jiraiya smirked at this. "Well what is the one weakness of all taijutsu styles?"

Hanabi scratched her head at this "Well this would include my upgraded version of the Jyuuken right?" Jiraiya nodded in confirmation. "Well, I would say that the weakness is that it is short range and you can easily avoid it by getting of the person's reach."

Jiraiya nodded at that as well. "Very good Hanabi, now what is different about the Jyuuken than most other taijutsu style out there?"

Hanabi smirked at this. "Easy, we use chakra in our hits, to destroy out opponents from the inside."

Jiraiya then laughed. "Well so what is the weapon of the Jyuuken, the chakra, or the fingers that carry the chakra?"

Hanabi scratched her head. "Well in my style, I added in elbow and knee attacks, so whatever I strike with are not the weapon, but rather carrier of the weapon itself, which is the chakra. I don't get it, where are we going with this?"

Jiraiya then sighed. "We're almost there, now think Hanabi, do you really need the body the chakra? Remember this is Chakra Hari no Jutsu we're talking about here."

It then dawned on Hanabi. "Ohhhh I get it, I could extend the reach of the Jyuuken as far as how far I could throw a chakra needle."

Jiraiya then nodded. "Yup and the whole reason you are going to learn elemental chakra manipulation is to upgrade your that jutsu from B-Rank to A-Rank."

Hanabi put her finger to her chin in thought. Hmmm, I wonder what my element alignment is. It would be cool if it were fire or better yet, lightning! I'd be damned if I weren't able to get the hardest to control element as one of my natures, even as my secondary or trimary. As long as it's not water or crummy earth, I would accept wind as well though. I've seen some pretty cool stuff that wind could do.

Naruto grumbled. "Well, can you show me my technique? So I know what it looks like?"

Jiraiya scratched his head. "Well, I really shouldn't… but I guess it would help."

Hanabi snapped out of her thoughts as she was about to see the legendary jutsu, Rasengan. Jiraiya walked up to a tree and stuck his hand out as if he were holding a ball. Hanabi immediately ran to the side, to get a closer look, followed by Naruto, as he was the one learning the jutsu after all. Jiraiya then gathered his chakra and started rotating it faster and faster and adding power as well.

Hanabi could only look at it with amazement, and even took the opportunity to use the Byakugan, and was even more amazed at the sheer amount of chakra packed in that small sphere of chakra. When Jiraiya was satisfied with the amount of chakra in there, he stopped gathering chakra and maximized the speed and power. Hanabi was stunned at the sight of its awesome power as she turned her Byakugan off.

Jiraiya then thrust the Rasengan into the tree, which offered zero resistance to its destruction, no not destruction, obliteration. It took only one second for the Rasengan to clear through the wood and 4 second for gravity to bring the rest of the tree down onto the spiraling sphere of destruction. It took all of 5 seconds to denigrate the tree from the damage point up, and Hanabi could only look at it in awe.

Hanabi stuttered at the display. "I-I-I so want t-t-to l-learn th-that."

Jiraiya laughed. "Maybe later."

Naruto grumbled at that statement. "He's not going to teach you, that is what Kakashi said about teaching me Fuinjutsu." (No I did not forget that scene)

Hanabi pouted and put on her puppy dog eyes. "Cwan wI pwease wearn Waswengwan?"

Jiraiya shook his head. "HA! You can't fool me with those eyes! I'm a master of being unaffected to such tactics."

Hanabi only persisted by having tears start running down her eyes, and even using the tears and the light to make her eyes sparkle. "Pwease?"

Jiraiya began mumbling. "Must resist puppy dog eyes technique, must resist puppy dog eyes technique."

Hanabi went further by protruding her bottom lip out and tilting her head, while still catching the light even more. Jiraiya was having a difficult time not saying yes. "L-Listen, this is not a technique I can tech willy nilly."

Hanabi then tilted her head down ward, looked upwards with her pupils. Jiraiya was grinding his teeth so hard, that he could not even speak, out of fear for saying yes as he was trying so hard to resist the 8-year-old's powerful puppy dog eyes technique.

Hanabi then put the nail in the coffin by making whining puppy noise and not just any whining puppy noise, the whining puppy noise of the century, and even then it was questionable that even a puppy had emitted such a noise in the past. Jiraiya finally crumbled and… "Yes! Alright! I'll teach you the damned technique! Just stop that! I don't even know how you are so good at that."

Hanabi then still persisted. "Wits wonwy fwair thwat Wutwo-Kwun wearns wy twechwique was well."

Jiraiya began crying. "Alright I'll do it I promise I'll teach both of you the two techniques! Just stop with that face! Please!"

Hanabi then dropped her puppy dog eyes and snapped to a grin. "Ok, thank you very much!"

Naruto, who has been on the floor, staring wide eyed at Hanabi snapped out of it. "S-Seriously Nabi-Chan, where the hell did you learn to do that?"

Hanabi only smirked as she walked up to Naruto. "You're welcome for adding another technique to your jutsu list."

Naruto only dumbly nodded as Hanabi whispered in his ear. "Practice…" At that point she figured out a way to win over Naruto in anything, it's not that she wanted to be dominant in this relationship… wait a second, it is for that reason that Hanabi wanted to always win, and she got the feeling that Naruto would be more than happy to comply.

So after all that, Naruto and Hanabi made a clone each, the clones would learn the Chakra Hari no Jutsu, which shall be now known as the Hari group, and the originals would learn the Rasengan, which shall be now known as the Rasengan Group, just to make it easier. The Clone that suffered under the Puppy Eyes Technique would be teaching the Rasengan, while the other, who was smart enough to avoid the confrontation entirely, would be teaching Chakra Hari no Jutsu.

Rasengan Jiraiya grumbled something about puppies and 8 year old girls as he unsealed a bucket from a scroll, which contained plenty of water balloons. Naruto and Hanabi were confused on what the balloons were for. Naruto scratched this head. "Uhhh, Jiraiya-Sensei, what the hell do water balloons have to do with the Rasengan?" Hanabi could only nod in agreement.

Jiraiya then sighed. "That's I'm the teacher."

Hanabi shook her head. "What are we supposed to do with these?"

Naruto face palmed at the failed joke.

Jiraiya shook his head. "It is best to show you two."

Naruto and Hanabi, who turned on her Byakugan, looked up to see what Jiraiya had to show them. To Naruto, the balloon began bulging in multiple places then exploded, to Hanabi she saw the water rotating so fast that the balloon burst. Naruto scratched his head. "How were you able to do that?"

Jiraiya laughed. "I showed you it, now you must do it, but I will give you one hint, rotation, as for the rest you have to figure out yourself. Oh, Hanabi, please don't tell him the answers if you find out how to do it before he does, he will have to figure this out for himself. Same goes for you to Naruto."

Hanabi and Naruto reluctantly agreed to this and began to get to work. As Jiraiya poofed.

Naruto sat down and thought about the hint. Ok here's what I know, he made the balloon explode by bulging it, it has to do something with rotation, and the technique is chakra based… Hmmmm maybe I have to use my chakra to rotate the water fast enough to make it explode, but by looking at how Jiraiya-Sensei did it, maybe the rotation needs to be in multiple direction, maybe even all, that way, the rotation doesn't have to be as fast, I must not use my chakra in a bursting motion but rather in a rotation motion to make it explode. I think I got it. After Naruto thought it out, he attempted it, but failed miserably as he was only successful in making the water swish around gently.

Hanabi immediately knew what to do as she used her Byakugan, and with her experience in chakra control, she had better luck, but this was the first time in which she had to use chakra movement, not chakra bursts, to destroy something from within, so hers wasn't much better.

The Hari Group wasn't fairing much better either, despite their skill in chakra control, they weren't able to gather the correct amount of chakra then have it leave their bodies. Hanabi saw it as that when Jiraiya demonstrated (Who also poofed after). It was only outside him that he shaped the chakra, but she had to let Naruto figure it out himself as well.

Naruto scratched his head in frustration as he tried to gather the chakra outside his body, and so far, he wasn't able to, so after a few tries, he went into thinking mode. Ok, let's go over the things that I saw. Well I saw a concentration of chakra gather then shape into a needle, which was then thrown. Hmmm but where did that chakra come from? Well duh, his body, hmmm what if instead of streaming the chakra from my body, I pull it all out at once… it should be easier that way because I'm used to excreting chakra in large amounts. After that, what's the next step? Well I'll figure it out when I get there.

With Naruto's new plan figured out, he tried forming the amount of chakra needed and then instead of streaming it out of just one body part, he spread it out all across his body and pushed it out, and from there, he carefully lifted the chakra from his skin and as close to his body as possible, he gathered it into a clump of chakra.

Hanabi stood and watched as she was being surpassed, and because of her Byakugan, she understood what Naruto did, so tried to do the same thing, with the same success. The two then tried to push the chakra away from their own bodies and the farther it went, the harder it was to hold together the chakra. They then brought it to what was their concentration limit, which was only a foot away from their bodies and then tried to shape it into a needle, but it was impossible.

Hanabi sighed as she tried to concentrate on holding that chakra together then remembered how Jiraiya launched it. Hmmm it seemed like he launched it from the gathered state, and it looked as if he forced it through a small hole of some sort.

Hanabi smirked as she did just that, with extreme concentration, it was really difficult to launch but she did, and she missed the intended target, and just from the physical exertion of the concentration, Hanabi Fainted and poofed while clone Naruto watched as she managed to launch the needle, but then ran up to her to catch her, then remembered that they were clones when she poofed. Clone Naruto sighed as he knew that Chakra Hari no Jutsu training was over for now, poofed as well.

While the real Naruto and Hanabi were training, Hanabi got the mental fatigue from her clone and Fainted from it. "Nabi-Chan!" Naruto, worried, ran up to her to catch her and was confused but seconds later he received his clone's memories as well. Naruto picked up Hanabi bridal style and made a clone and sent him to Jiraiya and he himself would bring Hanabi back to the hotel. Training for today was over, plus it was getting a bit dark outside. (Yes, this all took place over the entire day, Naruto and Hanabi did not progress in their training in 5 minutes and yes they got lunch, I just forgot to mention that. Hey, I'm being realistic here.)

Sasuke sighed as he once again split his chakra in half, and used that chakra to practically make an entire chakra system, and raised it from his shadow; unfortunately, he only got that far as he was actually unable to produce the clone itself, probably because he was extremely low on chakra. After that failed attempt, Kakashi yawned as he put his hand up. "Ok Sasuke, that's enough for today, you have made excellent progress." Sasuke grunted as he too fainted from overworking himself.

Kakashi carried Sasuke to his room, then left a note and put some coins under the carpet and checked on Naruto and Hanabi, who were also knocked out did the same. Kakashi then checked his own room, which had Jiraiya in there, nodded to each other as they made their way to meet up with Tsunade. Along the way, Kakashi and Jiraiya both explained their particular training experiences. (Jiraiya was watching the whole time, so he dispelled that clone as he walked out; at that point Naruto was too distracted to notice the incoming information)

Hanabi stirred and opened her eyes. She noticed that she was considerably weaker. Ugh what happened? Ok last thing I remember was successfully throwing a chakra needle, before fainting; I must've used up too much chakra or something. If that's it then I probably just need to rest. Hanabi then felt arms around her and smiled. "Ruto-Kun, hey Ruto-Kun I'm awake."

Naruto woke up slowly and shook his head to wake himself. "Hi, Nabi-Chan, you had me worried there, do you feel alright?"

Hanabi nodded her head. "I just feel weak that's all, I probably went into chakra exhaustion or something."

Naruto then slowly rubbed her, "You over exerted yourself, but we should probably get something to eat, to get back our energy."

Hanabi only nodded as she tried to get up, but only resulted in light headedness.

Naruto caught Hanabi as she fell down from her failed attempt to get up. "Whoa Nabi-Chan, you need to rest. "Hmmmm, how about I'll carry you piggy back for now, you can sleep then." Hanabi nodded, as she did not trust herself to say anything as she was too tired. "But first, some water."

Naruto quickly went to his pack and looked for a bottle of water, which he gave Hanabi. Hanabi was about to guzzle it down, but was stopped by Naruto. Hanabi blinked as she was confused. "Huh?"

Naruto shook his head. "If you drink all that now, you'll only shock your body, take few sips at a time for every couple of minutes"

Hanabi, in her exhausted state did not completely understand what Naruto had said, but she got the gist of it, 'Don't drink it all at once.' Hanabi simply nodded slowly as she took a sip of the water.

Naruto sighed. "Well as good as ramen is, it's not going to bring anyone back from exhaustion, you need some carbs and calories, to get some energy going and to make the physical part of the training actually worth it. So I'd highly suggest some pasta with an order of bread."

Hanabi could only nod as she was too tired to complain. Naruto then picked her up piggy back and then he was about to exit, he noticed the note Kakashi left behind and read. "Let's see what it says here… You can take this night to rest, I left some money under the carpet for dinner, go where ever you like, just remember, if you exceed the money I provided, you have to pay the rest for yourself. Jiraiya and I will be meeting with Tsunade and depending on how things go; we can leave anytime from tomorrow, till three days, as we have to return to Konoha in four days."

Hanabi took a sip from the water bottle as Naruto picked up the coins from under the carpet and left. It did not take long to find a restaurant to eat in, and the bread of course was free. Hanabi did not hesitate to grab a piece of bread, but then remembered Naruto's warning and ate it slowly, along with her water. By the time their drinks, which were water and milk, for the two of them, Hanabi was feeling better and was able to talk, but not without making herself feel more tired.

After dinner, Naruto decided to let Hanabi rest a bit more, so as to let her body process the carbs. Naruto looked to his right shoulder where Hanabi was resting her head. "Hey Nabi-Chan, want to take a walk in the park?"

Hanabi brightened up a bit at that, they haven't been to a park for a few days, so she nodded her head. "Yes, I would like to go. Ruto-Kun."

By the time they got there, Hanabi was back to her own self again and when they did she rather jumped off the back from Naruto. Hanabi began laughing as she finally felt her body return back to normal, and yet she felt stronger. "Catch me if you can!"

Naruto decided to join in the fun. "Oh I will catch you, the questions is when?"

Hanabi then ran off laughing with Naruto chasing her. They never had so much fun in such a while. When Naruto caught her, it was Naruto's turn to get chased, and was actually surprised by her speed as he was having a difficult time to keep some distance from her. "Whoa Nabi-Chan how are you so quick?"

Hanabi smirked. "When your fighting style is taijutsu, then you have to learn how to keep up with an opponent." Naruto only smirked as he ran faster, as well did Hanabi.

After chasing each other back and forth, they decided to rest in a secluded area. Hanabi then got on top of Naruto. "I know you promised to do this after the mission, but didn't we already do the mission?"

Naruto shook his head. "Nabi-Chan, I actually have been thinking about this a lot lately, and I have decided that doing it with you is not such a good idea."

Hanabi frowned. "What do you mean? But you promised after we got back!"

Naruto shook his. "I'm sorry but I should not have had sex with you in the first place, it was a mistake-" It was then Naruto realized he made a mistake by saying that.

Hanabi began crying, "S-So you don't l-love me?"

Naruto tried to tell her what he really meant but before he could say anything, Hanabi got up. "I guess meeting you was a mistake then Naruto." With that Hanabi left crying.

Naruto face palmed as he shook his. "Idiot!"

Hanabi did not see where she was going as she was running through the woods crying if she did, she probably would have noticed the ninja down the road come from the bushes and nonchalantly walk down the road as he let the 8 year old run into him.

Hanabi looked up sniffling. "I'm sorry sir, if you don't mind I'll be on my way now."

The ninja smirked as he grabbed Hanabi by the shirt and quickly bounded her. "We got the Hyuuga! The Raikage will be so pleased with us."

Hanabi's eyes widened as she finally noticed the ninja's headband. What the hell is Kumo doing here! There is only one thing I can do now. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Hanabi's mouth was then bound as well and at loudest, her cries were muffled.

Naruto was busy berating himself and trying to come up with a way to apologize and explain to Hanabi what he meant when he heard Hanabi's scream. "Nabi-Chan!"

Naruto quickly followed the scram to its source and found Hanabi's foot prints which then tuned into a struggle then into drag marks. Naruto then looked further down the road and saw that Hanabi was being dragged. He was about to go ape-shit on them until he felt something hit him in the back of his head really hard and fainted.


A/N And Kumo enters the scene! What will happen to Naruto and Hanabi? Will they be able to repair their relationship if they escape? When will Jiraiya, Sasuke and Kakashi notice them gone? How will they figure where they are? Find out next time on Escape! (Yeah I just did that) So yeah, before you say anything, I had this sort of planned as I was writing this, including Naruto's mistake (I shall explain what he meant in the next chapter) I have ultimately decided I am not going to do the lemon, as this is not going to be a lemon story, it just doesn't feel right to do it. I might make a fiction filled with lolicon lemons maybe sometime in the future, but for now, I have to write my planned fics. Anyways, back to my review... My muse did get an idea to make this arc a bit more interesting. As for my other fic Saving Her, I decided to make two separate chapters with a double release, the first one being the main ending and the second being the alternate. For those who haven't voted which should be the main chapter yet, please do so my reviewing Saving Her as any votes in here won't count and i shall repeat myself to make my self clear. aaarrrggghhhuuuummm! YOUR VOTES FOR SAVING HER ENDINGS WILL ONLY COUNT IN SAVING HER REVIEWS! As for the Chapter Titles, I finally did them! Anyways, like always, R&R and this is 9tailsfox2 signing off!
