Reviews from Chapter one and my replies to them

Bankai777: Will Naruto learn the Hiraishin.

He might. It all depends on a certain perverted hermit.

Rose Tiger: Don't make Hinata marry that bratty prince! Please let her go with Naruto!

They'll reunite one day. And when they do, Hinata and Naruto will kill that prince.

DNA2337: Here you go. Lol. I can't think of chapters on the fly.

Well that was the reviews. Now on with the story

Naruto: About time! I want to get back to my Hinata!

Hinata: Naruto don't worry. Even though it might take a few years, we'll see each other again in the story.

Author: That's correct, Hinata. Now let's get back to work

As Naruto continued running, he could sense many different signatures behind him. None of them seemed familiar meaning it could be more members of the Akatsuki or the Dragon Army themselves had ninja's that were pursuing him, determined to kill him or capture him to use for their Emperor.

"Like they can catch me," Naruto said to himself, jumping into the tree's before continuing on. It would be another month or so before he made it to the ports that led west so his only hope was to try and stay hidden as he hoped to find a new home. With the Dragon Army after him and greedy Civilian Council members plotting ways to get rid of him, he could no longer stay in one place anymore.

As Naruto jumped into a clearing, he heard another sound of a person jumping near him. As he prepared to attack the newcomer, he was stopped by that person grabbing his arm.

"Calm yourself, Naruto," a familiar voice said. Naruto turned to see Jiraiya smiling at him.

"Pervy Sage!" Naruto exclaimed, hugging his teacher, trying to not show his tears.

"How you holding up, kid?" Jiraiya asked, returning the hug. He was also beginning to cry, but held his tears in better than Naruto. They broke the hug before the atmosphere turned serious.

"Why are you, Pervy Sage?" Naruto asked. "Come to take me back home?"

"No way, Naruto," Jiraiya replied. "I'm actually here to help you get to the port cities much quicker so you won't be captured. I arranged a meeting with a captain who will take you out of here as fast as he can. He takes refugees from everywhere and brings them to a new home."

"So, you're helping me?" Naruto wondered. He knew that Jiraiya was loyal to the Leaf Village, but never knew how loyal. "But what about the village?"

"They can rot for all I care," Jiraiya said. "They lost the Will of Fire when they decided to sell the village to the Dragon Empire. Right now, the Dragon Army is most likely entering the village and already enforcing their Emperor's will."

"So what can we do?" Naruto asked.

"First thing we need to do is get you out of here," Jiraiya answered. "I know a few captains that are taking refugee's to other places for them to live away from everything. He's agreed to take you somewhere as well."

"Where though?" Naruto had many question, but Jiraiya just put his hand on Naruto's shoulder and in a flash, both were gone and reappeared next to a ship that was getting ready to set sail.

"There you are, Jiraiya," a voice said. They both turned to see the captain walking towards them. "Is this the young passenger?"

"Yes he is," Jiraiya answered. "I hope you can get him past the Dragon and Imperial Blockades."

"So far not a single Dragon ship has been able to catch me and the Imperial Navy always let's me by when I'm transporting people to somewhere away from the troubles of their home."

"What's going on?" Naruto questioned, still not catching on to what they were saying.

"What's going to happen Naruto," Jiraiya began. "Is that this man and his crew are going to get you someplace safe. Away from the council and the Dragon armies. The destination is a place called the Imperial Empire."

"One of the craziest names around," the Captain said. "A really redundant name but the citizens always laugh about it. They've just stuck with calling themselves Imperials from now on."

"So what do I do when I get there?" Naruto asked.

"You can do many things there," Jiraiya explained. "You could join the Imperial forces, try to run a business, be a farmer, cook, just about anything. I know those clones of yours could help out any job that's short on manpower."

"So no need for ninja?"

"You never know."

Before Naruto could reply the ship's bell rang, signaling for the crew to be ready to depart.

"Take care, Naruto," Jiraiya said, sad to see his student have to leave.

"You too, Pervy Sage," Naruto gave Jiraiya another hug. As he pulled away, Jiraiya gave Naruto a scroll with his name on it.

"It's from your parents," That was all Jiraiya said before leaping away. Naruto boarded the ship just as the crew was ready to cast off.

"Set sail for Los York!" Ordered the captain. Naruto went below deck as the ship set sail. He stopped at his bunk and opened up the scroll. As he read the contents, he dropped it in shock.

He quickly grabbed the scroll again and began reading.

'Dear Naruto,

If you're reading this, than you've became a chunin or something bad has happened, but let's hope it's the first one. My name is Minato Namikaze. I'm sure you've heard of my name in your classes about me being the Fourth Hokage. I'm also going to tell you something else. You're my son, Naruto. I'm sure you have lots of questions, but I can only write down a small amount as the Nine Tails is getting closer to the village. I'm hoping you will be viewed as the savior or the village. Remember to train hard and do your best. Your mom hopes that will you become a great ninja, but I think you'll become a great Hokage. Here's hoping that you'll become what you want and have a nice family. Also, tell Hiashi that I won. We agreed that if I had a son and he had a daughter, they would be engaged after birth. He kept saying that you will turn out to be a girl just to make me pull my hair out in fear of your mother. He knew he was having a daughter so we agreed to make the contract. It should protect both of you.

With love,

Your father Minato Namikaze'

All Naruto could do was look in shock at the letter, not knowing what to thank. He was glad to finally know who his father was, but was angry due to the fact that the person who would one day be his wife was taken away from him.

"I will return one day," Naruto began. "And when I do, I will become Hokage and due my best to end the injustice done to everyone." If only Naruto knew that his journey to become Hokage will lead him into some of the bloodiest wars he had ever seen.
