Author's notes: I apologize for updating this story so late I have been focusing on my other stories. I already have planned a lot of chapters for this story and how the plot is going to move. But anyway this chapter will be a bit of a filler since it will be funny if you read the title. The next chapter will be a filler before going to the plot of the story I already have the fillers planned from the beginning. Remember to review and thank you for reviewing the story now on with the chapter.

(Time skip: one month and a half later)

(Location: Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)

The hidden leaf village has been finally rebuilt after the attack by the monsters. Thankfully everyone helped out on the reconstruction including their new allies Lloyd and his companions from another world. After working hard to rebuilt the village things have finally calmed down and everything was back to normal like the attack never happened, however measures were taken. Tsunade has ordered to increase the security on the village since the attack she has sent more patrols at every location. The village gates as well as the village district, the village walls, the shopping district and the buildings representing the power of the village. ANBU headquarters, the fire tower home of the Hokage and the homes of the members of the councils representing the strongest clans in Konoha. If the village was going to be attack again they won't succeed in damaging the village like they did last time with everyone prepared. For now they were keeping a watch on the village along with their new friends which they were now residing in the village. Everyone from the group of Symphonia was really enjoying their stay in the hidden leaf village. The most important thing they knew is that they needed to get jobs, a place to live and money since their money gald wasn't accepted in this world.

Lloyd was still working with Tenten at her dad's weapons shop. The young twin swordsman has become a very important asset to the business becoming a very good employee. He was always hard working and very helpful to the customers earning a lot of money to the shop. Tenten's dad was very impressed with his hard work that he gave him a raise earning more money than usual he had plenty of money to move in from Naruto's apartment and rent a place of his own. He didn't want to keep bothering the blond ninja so because it was a small place it was better if he live somewhere else. However he still hasn't pay completely for the twin swords that are Naruto's weapons the two swords are very expensive and even working full time at the weapon's shop wasn't enough to pay for everything. Tenten didn't pressure him she didn't gave him a time limit to give her the money although she was impress that he has given her more money for the weapons, it made her smile that he would do so much for a friend. Lloyd and Tenten have become close friends happy to be working in the same place and they were particularly spending time together. Their friendship became something strong forging a unique bond, perhaps there was something going on than just friendship.

Colette was still living with Sakura at her mother's house and thankfully she hasn't caused any damage so far. She was still working with as her assistance at the hospital along with Raine who was asked by Tsunade to worked part time there earning some money for her assistance. So far she hasn't caused any holes in the building the hospital was still intact and damage free for now. She didn't worked too much since Sakura was busy training under Raine. The pink haired medic has become the half elf's apprentice in learning healing arts and controlling the power of her exsphere she wanted to be useful and reliable in the battlefield especially now, with the threat of the monsters and the stranger behind their attacks. As always the blond teen volunteer for any kind of work being her usual kind hearted and cheery self she didn't complain as long as it was going to help the people of the village. She has come to love Konoha very much and its people she didn't mind staying, of course she missed her home village Iselia. She only hope that someday she explore this new world she wanted to see the world, what lies beyond Konoha it was making her very curious and anxious.

Genis for some reason was requested by Hiashi to live with him and his clan at the Hyuga compound. He has offered the young half elf to stay at one of the guest rooms showing him a lot of hospitality. He felt thankful for the older Hyuga's kindness and accepted his offer with the condition that his sisters comes too, he didn't wanted to be separated from his older sister. Hiashi also requested that Rain live with him so she can be with her younger brother, she didn't refuse because she has been very busy teaching Sakura and reading at the Konoha library. The half elf woman a always had a never ending thirst for knowledge and she wanted to know everything about the five elemental countries and the ninja world. It couldn't be help because she was in full ruin mode whenever she got the chance to enter the library thanks to Sakura who accompanied her. Since she has always gone to the place ever since she was at the academy it's the reason why she was so smart and very knowledgeable. While Raine was busy her brother Genis was helping Hanabi with her training as requested by Hiashi, he was happy to help the young Hyuga since he has become good friends with her.

Sheena has dedicated her skills and services to the village assisting Konoha doing missions. She was after all a kunoichi from Mizuho which their cultures were similar she didn't argued with the idea. She has already gone with Naruto doing a couple of C rank and B rank missions with him and she didn't find them hard, she was well prepared for them. Pretty soon she become popular among the villagers for her skills and her ability to summon spirits, it was her ability to summoned Undine that she managed to put out a lot of the fire when the village was attacked by the monsters. She has also earned a deep friendship with Naruto, they were always spending time together. They will talked about everything she told him about her adventures with her companions how they defeated the summon spirits to create the pact and the unifications of the two worlds of Sylvarant and Tethealla. Naruto told her all of his missions and adventures including about Sasuke and how he promised Sakura to bring him back to the village. Both of them grew closer and they felt like they were becoming close friends, so far she was killing her stay in the village. Even if she missed everyone back at her home of Mizuho she got a little home sick every once in a while.

Regal has become a great help to the village. With his knowledge he has helped builders to build better houses and buildings along with a way for people to consume less energy in their homes, saving a lot of money for the village resources. He was always happy to help anyone including Tsunade leading to gain a lot of respect to the older man. He has also gained a lot of respect as a strong fight by none other than Gai and Lee who have experienced his fighting skills during the monsters invasion. Both taijutsu fighters have constantly have lots of sparring sessions with him in order to test and strengthen their taijutsu skills. Regal has told them about the times he was being trained using his feet not telling them when he was wearing handcuffs as a punishment for killing Alicia long ago. He wasn't ready to tell his crime to people from another world, at least not yet. He was completely unaware that he has gotten the attention of a certain raven haired woman who felt very attracted towards him. It seems he will have to find out about being in Shizune's sight of affection. He has earned money helping constructors to develop better houses and buildings and he managed to buy a small house in middle village district, knowing that he will be staying in the village for a while.

Presea has taken a job becoming a member of the woodcutters of the village. She has helped the civilian population of lumberjacks by giving them a helping hand and it was big helping hand indeed. With her strength she took down more trees than the average woodcutter while the men were shocked at her strength to lift such a heavy big ax and swing it like it was light like a feather, cutting trees for her was a breeze. The one thing that shocked them the most is that she was too young according to them since they didn't know the truth about the side effect of her exsphere and her aging. She has gained quite the money she has managed to buy a two bedroom apartment in which Sheena is living with her. She has come to like living in Konoha it wasn't her home but she felt comfortable living in the village. She missed her home Ozette, her home village was still being rebuild after it was destroyed by the organization of Cruxis. But so far she was enjoying her stay in this village from another world or dimension she only hoped that she travels to other locations.

As for Zelos he was doing what he loves the most. Sightseeing and spending time with women the red head chosen was always partying than looking for a job or a place to stay, due that he was visiting a new world he wanted to explore it as much as he could. What better way than to see the entire village of Konoha while meeting different women. So far he has been living with Lloyd at his apartment which it annoyed the twin swordsman a bit he was working hard while he was slacking off not lifting a finger to help maintain his place to stay. It seems he has forgotten that in this dimension he wasn't rich or famous chosen he was just a regular person or civilian. Nevertheless it was going to stop him from having fun with his new hunnies especially his favorite hunny from Konoha. He has become close with Ino he didn't care if she was younger than him he just love spending time with the Yamanaka just like spending time with his hunnies. Although Konoha was nothing like Meltokio in terms of class and money it was enough for him, as long as there were women he will be satisfied. His only regret is that he hasn't met any rich women with exception of Tsunade but he wasn't going to be crazy enough to hit on the slug sanin after seeing a taste of her inhuman strength, unless he has a death wish.

(Location village district middle section)

Zelos was walking the streets in his usual happy mood and behavior. Winking at the ladies passing by and flirting with them not caring if they were married or if he gets in trouble with their husbands, he just loved his life. Even if he was in another world they were still women he could use his charms to bent them to his will and make them part of his countless collection of personal hunnies. He missed his world and his hunnies back at Meltokio especially Princess Hilda one of his prettiest hunnies but this world is good too. It only took him a couple of days to make himself popular in the female population of Konoha soon they were bowing down before him as the sexiest and most handsome man they have ever laid eyes on. He was proud he was able to do it faster than he usually did long ago when he became the chosen of Tethealla proving that he hasn't lost his touch, he still got it. Having women all over you is what truly meant for him to living the life he needed to keep his name and image as the ultimate ladies man and sex symbol. He passed more women which he winked at them causing them to giggle while other faint at his charms and good looks he had everything a woman wanted in the man of their dreams.

He gazed at the women who were smiling, blushing even giggling at him while he got some glares from men in the crowd. Obviously most of those men were jealous of his cool and charms to put a lady under his spell while others were angry and jealous because they were their husbands. Thoughts were running through their heads about the red head chosen and the only thing that popped in their mind was to beat the living crap out of him for flirting with their women. He didn't care what they think they were all jealous because they weren't as cool and sexy as him no man was better than the great chosen Zelos. He passed Ichiraku which he remembers it was Naruto's favorite place to eat his favorite meal ramen, he grinned remembering most of all that there was a pretty woman working in the ramen shop. He entered the shop smiling gazing at Ayame who was serving a bowl of ramen to a customer while her father Teuchi was making another serving of the dish. Although the red head chosen was surprise that Naruto wasn't in the place stuffing his face with the food he would kill for.

Ayame smiled at him doing her duty to treat the customer" welcome Zelos did you come to have some of father's ramen?"

"Oh you remember my name I am so please you do my dear Ayame!" he grinned getting seated in one of the seats.

"I can't forget your face I guess. You have come here most of the times with Lloyd and Naruto" she smiled at him.

"How could I have not come here" he replied in his cool and sexy tone taking her hand" I would never forget a beautiful woman such as yourself."

His comment made Ayame blushed deep as Zelos continued to hold her hand she felt her heart beating so fast" I……"

"How about if later you and I had a nice walk around the village and talk?" he winked at her making her blush even more.

"Zelos…." Ayame replied blushing.

Much to the red head chosen's demise Ayame has a very over protective father when it came to these kinds of situations. Teuchi has heard everything while preparing the ramen with ears the size of saucers, he growled while tightening his fist. Clearly angered has entered him and marched straight at Zelos giving him a very scary look while Ayame got shocked seeing her father's behavior.

"Um father it's all right no need to get upset here" Ayame was trying to calm him down.

"I knew it you were that kind of person Zelos!" Teuchi shouted" you're one of those men who hit on women then takes them on a date and take advantage of them. But I will not let you touch my Ayame do you hear me?!"

"Whoa calm down pops I wasn't going to do anything like that to her…..yet" Zelos grinned.

"What?!!" shouted the ramen shop owner while taking a cleaver ready to chop his head off.

"Father please calm down you're scaring the customers!" she gazed at the two freaked out men who looked like they were ready to leave" if you keep this up we will lose customers that's not good for business."

Teuchi calmed down still glaring at the red head chosen" fine….but I'm keeping my eye on you Zelos" he went back to make the ramen.

"I'm sorry father is just over protective with me…"

"I'll say but not to worry I have dealt with people like him before" he gave a sheepish grin.

"Would you like to have some ramen?" asked.

"Why not might as well since I'm here. It's better for me I get to eat a delicious meal and watch a beautiful angel at the same time" he replied giving her a sweet smile.

His comment made Ayame blushed before she nodded and went to her father. Teuchi was mumbling something about Zelos being a pimp and not wanting him near his daughter. The red head chosen stood seated in seat while he ignored the older man's mumbling and he focus on Ayame especially her butt, he grinned to himself loving his stay in the leaf village.

'Yup it's good being me. Konoha can become my favorite place after Meltokio the women are prettier there than the ones here but my blond hunny Ino tops them all hehe.'

He waited for his ramen to be served while stealing glances at Ayame. When Ayame brought him the bowl of ramen he gave her a wink making her blush and Teuchi was still keeping his eyes on him, not looking happy at all. Looks like Zelos was enjoying his stay at Konoha and things couldn't get any better for him. The women wants him and he didn't wanted any other way he was too cool to be true.

(Fire tower Hokage's office)

Tsunade has been doing the usual work of filling paperwork. The rebuild was done and now she was filling half of the orders and permission it only reminded her how much she hated filling paperwork, it was true hell. What will she do to be on a hot bath with a big bottle of sake, afterwards she will go gambling and play some pachinko that was of course in her dreams? She knew being Hokage sucks and possibly the worst job in the whole world. She has wonder so many times why did she accepted this hellish job and how in blazes her teacher managed to stay as Hokage for so many years without getting sick of the job. She needed a long break or better yet a vacation from all of this and any related job of being the Hokage. With boredom killing her she took some of her strength to finished filling the last papers from the large mountain of documents. She sighed happily in relief as for once she managed to finish the accursed paper work from hell. Now all she needed now was a drink of sake to enjoy her victory. However her victory was cut short as Shizune entered the office with Tonton carrying a large stack of papers. The sight made the blond Hokage not happy as she was frowning when she just finished filling a mountain of documents.

'Oh you got to be kidding me….'

Shizune put the mountain of papers on the desk" here you go Tsunade-sama all of these documents needs your signature. I'm glad you were able to finish the other half the sooner you finish this the faster you can start with your other work."

A vein popped on Tsunade's forehead seeing that she had more work to do all thanks to the raven haired women next to her' Kami help me….I need a break I need relaxation. Shizune is going to be the end of me….'

"Once you're done with these documents you can start planning that meeting with the feudal lord of fire country it's very important" replied Shizune.

Tsunade had to mental sigh. It was always the same Shizune was always watching over her that she fulfills her work as the Hokage. She was always the one to keep her in check that she doesn't slack off or run away to gamble or drink sake, she was worst than having a personal tutor. With her around she was never going to have a break she will probably die from all the work she has to do, it was frustrating. She gazed at her smiling doing her job to guide her to do her work she knew that this couldn't go any longer, she was begging for a day off. There was no way she was going to continue with her work without having a break.

'I need to do something to get her off my back at least for one day….' she gazed at the raven haired woman' if this keeps up I will go crazy…but what can I do?'

Her hazel eyes went wide before grinning' I got it….it's perfect I will be helping Shizune and I will have my day off. I will be killing two birds with one stone.'

"Shizune?" she replied with a smile" I have a job for you…"

The raven haired woman handed her down more papers to filled before looking at her" yes Tsunade-sama?"

"You already know I'm very busy with work I have some business to attend to besides the reunion with the feudal lord. I am supposed to meet up with a certain individual to discuss about different projects in the village's construction of houses and buildings. The reunion is schedule at noon but I'm too busy I won't be able to attend the meeting, therefore I need a favor to ask you."

"What is it?" Shizune replied having an idea what she did not know why she was having a bad feeling about it.

"I need you to go for me to that meeting you will be representing me."

"What….can you do that….is that even legal?" asked the confused Shizune.

"Yes it is all you have to do is check his plans and agree with them he has very good ideas for creating more wonderful buildings that will benefit the people of the village" replied the busty Hokage.

"All right may I ask who this person I will be meeting is?"

The slug sanin prevented from grinning" its Regal…"

Shizune felt like blushing" what….Regal!?"

"Yes he's the one who has been helping the workers with his ideas in the field of construction. Is there a problem?"

The raven haired women blushed slightly" no….nothing is wrong…I guess I will help you Tsunade-sama you're always busy and I understand that. Where will I be meeting him?"

"In the Azuchi grill…."

Now Shizune knew something was wrong because she has heard of the place. The Azuchi was a famous restaurant in the village known for its exquisite food and bbq, not to mention it was quite expensive. It felt weird that her teacher will request a meeting with Regal in an expensive restaurant just to discuss business with him it was definitely weird and suspicious. She knew it and it was scaring her Tsunade was up to something and she didn't like it, because it was too convenient that she can't come to the meeting with Regal and ordered her to go in her place. Obviously her reaction and expression caught the slug sanin's attention knowing that something was bothering her.

"Is something wrong Shizune?"

"Tsunade-sama…..why there of all places?"

"What the Azuchi grill?" she replied with a raised eyebrow" I figure it's a good place to discuss business I like the bran of sake they have there. Is there something bothering you?"

"It's just that you want me to go there in your place to discuss business with Regal and in such place for the matter. It kind of sounds like a…date" she replied with a blush on her cheeks.

Tsunade grinned" if you want to call it that then be my guess. Besides you told me you wanted to get to know him better this is the perfect chance don't you think so?"

Shizune sweat dropped' I see so this was her plan all along Tsunade-sama….'

"I suggest you prepare yourself for your date with Regal Shizune" smirked the blond Hokage.

The raven haired woman ignored her comment and sighed before leaving the office with Tonton following her. Tsunade grinned feeling proud of herself she has done a very good job for her student to get to know the older man better, and most of all she will be free for the rest of the day.

'I'm such a genius it was a close one. I thought she was going to refuse but her pride got in the way, now I can finally have my day off at last!'

She sighed in relief glad to be free from the raven haired nightmare of work for one day she needed to celebrate for her victory and she knew how. The image of a sake bottle came to her mind that was the best way to celebrate and began her relaxation she suddenly stopped and shook her head not looking happy sensing that someone was in her office with her.

"It's about time you got here."

She turned to her window seeing Jiraiya who just arrived. Looks like her break will have to wait because she needed to talk to him about everything that has happened while he was gone. Which made her in the least happy because she really wanted to take a break from her hellish paperwork and any other thing she has to do she felt like punching the toad sanin just to make herself feel better. She has been waiting for him to discuss the matter but she got too involved with her work, now it was the perfect time.

"I see that the village has been rebuild so soon" replied Jiraiya" sorry I couldn't have come here sooner I was busy with my spy network whoever attacked the village was a very strong force."

"We managed to win because we had help from new allies. They were the reason the enemy was defeated."

"I see everything is fine so how about telling me why you called me here personally instead of sending me a message?" asked the toad sanin.

Tsunade sighed she hasn't told him about the monsters responsible for attacking the village or their new friends. She hasn't told him a single word about the existence of the exspheres and the truth of their new companions that they were from a new dimension. She knew it was going to be very hard for Jiraiya to swallowed all the information she was about to tell him, he wasn't going to believe her. He was one of the few people she trusted the most she needed to tell him about this information which she has made it to be classified S rank information.

"There's a reason why I called you here personally Jiraiya" she took a deep breath" what I'm about to tell you is classified information no one else must know about this. Not even the council knows about this I know I can trust you with it, however I have a feeling that you won't believe me one bit."

Jiraiya blinked" this must be one heck of information you have to tell me to say that I won't believe you. I have always trust you Tsunade I will always believe you no matter what you say."

"I hope you're right but I have a feeling you won't….all right I will tell you and listen well."

"Very well I'm listening."

Tsunade told Jiraiya everything she knew that was told her by Lloyd and his companions. She told him about where they came from the portal caused by the eternal sword separating their two dimensions, the existence and power of the exshperes. How they were created the village attacked by monsters and the existence of the mysterious stranger who was responsible for summoning the monsters to attack the village. Once she was done telling the whole story she stood watching Jiraiya's expression which completely changed, from listening closely to shocked and dumbfounded. She knew it very well he didn't believe her at all the information has probably hit him like a ton of bricks and he will eventually think she has gone crazy.

"Jiraiya?"

"You can't be serious" Jiraiya said shocked" you can't expect me to believe all those things you just said. Everything you have said is….impossible to believe its nonsense maybe you should take a break Tsunade I'm worry that the job of Hokage has messed with your head."

"Like I wasn't expecting you weren't going to believe me but it's the truth. This information is classified no one outside of this office must not know I can't trust the council and the elders, especially Danzo he will kill to obtain these kind of information."

The toad sanin pinched the tip of his nose trying to sink the information he just heard. He tried to calm down and slowly trying to believe everything the slug sanin just told him which he find it hard to believe he thought about crazy and fake story. He has known Tsunade for years since they were twelve and if there was one thing he knew about her is that she has never lie to him. Looking at her serious expression he could tell that she being honest with him even if he still found it too hard to believe.

He sighed" this is hard to believe you weren't kidding Tsunade all of this sounds bogus…"

"I know but I wouldn't call you here to tell you something like it was made taken from a fairy tale and that sounds very farfetched. I was just like you when they told me their story I didn't believe it one bit but, I can't explain about the appearance of the monsters that attacked the village."

"These exspheres are truly powerful tools and the way they are made. It's insane and inhuman I do know someone who will love to get his hands on them" replied the toad sanin.

"I know Orochimaru….and Danzo that war hawk won't pass a chance to obtain something powerful like the exspheres that Lloyd and his companions have. This is exactly why I have kept this information classified until further notice I can't trust no one with this."

"And you did the right thing this is too important to tell it to anyone especially to the council it will be best to keep it quiet for now. What will they do now?"

"You mean Lloyd and his companions?" asked the blond Hokage" they have agreed to stay in the village and help us in any way they can I didn't argue with them. We sure need people with their abilities they have helped us a lot during the monsters attack I see them as potential allies."

"After hearing their crazy journey I'm not surprise the one thing that worries is that gate you told me. The supposed gate that is separating our worlds…."

"According to what Lloyd told me he said that the gate is south of the village in one of the forests, we received information from them that the gate stays open for one day and then it closes for another day."

"So one day stays open and another day it stays close?" replied Jiraiya.

"I'm worried if more of those monsters appeared through that gate and start attacking the village again. We can't afford to have another invasion the other hidden villages can't see us weakened or they will take the opportunity to attack us. Another invasion is the last thing on my mind…"

Jiraiya nodded" how long do you think they will stay in the village?"

"That I do not know Lloyd said that he and his friends will help the village with everything including more attacks from monsters. I will trust his words he reminds me a lot of Naruto" she smiled thinking about the blond ninja.

Jiraiya chuckled at her comment" so you have become fond of the boy too?"

"Not fond but trust. They don't look like they bad people they are already living in the village and they have found jobs. They are like regular people but with a great power."

"I still find it hard to believe what you just told me. This isn't the kind of information you would hear so often but nevertheless I will trust this information you just told me."

"Good how about telling me any other information you have gathered for me?"

The toad sanin nodded" right I have found something about Akatsuki it's important that you know."

Tsunade nodded hearing about the criminal organization" all right I'm listening."

(Training room medical facility fire tower)

Raine and Sakura were having another training session in healing arts. The half elf magic user decided to give the pink haired kunoichi her old staff made from oak so she can perform magic as well. In this month and a half since she took as her student she was impressed by her fast progress. She was able to see Sakura's mana control to be very accurate and perfect making her fit well for a magic user. It was one of the key elements to control magic perfect control of one's mana and so far Sakura has that ability. She was amazed to see that she was able to control the power of her exsphere so quickly like she was meant to have that kind of power. She remembered how hard was for her to get used to control the power of her exsphere even with her mana control. So far she has taught the young medic the basic novice spells and she has learned a little quicker than expected. Right now she was going to use a healing spell in order to heal the small bird that had a wounded wing, she gazed at the pink haired kunoichi who was concentrating she was ready.

"All right Sakura do it now" replied the half elf woman.

The pink haired medic nodded pointing her magic staff on the wounded wing. She gathered her chakra along with the power of her exsphere as she started casting the spell she was going to make sure that he makes the spell right in one try after being so much by Raine. She has grown fond of the half elf woman considering her as a second teacher she was so full of knowledge she was a perfect sample for the perfect teacher. Although she was a bookworm because the one thing Raine loves is when she takes her to the Konoha library and she will basically take and read as many books as she can. She smiled mentally at her new teacher's determination and never ending thirst for knowledge, she finally casted enough mana for her spell to work.

"First aid!"

The tip of her oak staff shine in a quick bright light suddenly the wing of the bird was fully healed.

"I did it!"

"Yes you did" Raine said smiling gazing at her' she has really come a long way since I took her into my wing.'

"I have really gotten the hand on the basic spells" Sakura smiled watching the bird fly through the window.

"You have done an excellent job Sakura you really are a quick learner" replied the half elf magic user.

"Only because I'm learning with the best teacher in magic"

"Flattering won't get you nowhere but thanks for the compliment" Raine smirked.

"It took me a while to perform magic but I don't think I will be able to do it without the exsphere" she looked down at her exsphere on her right hand.

"That's part of it" Raine replied" it's true that exspheres awake one's dormant capabilities but not the ability to use magic. Anyone can cast magic depending on their control over their mana flow since you have perfect mana control it's easy for you to perform magic. The fact that you're a medic helps the cause for you to be able to use healing arts. The exsphere is merely a tool to boost your power and your healing capabilities."

Sakura nodded" I have perfect chakra control I have always known that…"

"Yes I'm fascinated to learn about the similarities between mana and chakra. At any rate I am impressed with your progress so far Sakura if this keeps up it won't be long before you master the advance spells."

"Right I'm ready to start my next lesson if your permit it Raine."

"First thing first it's time to give you a small test. Tell me about the basic spells start with support spells."

"There's dispel it dispels any magical alignment to the person. There's recover it heals one's physical alignments, there's charge it increases one's stamina. There's also barrier it increases one's defense vulnerability and finally there's first aid it heals one's injuries."

"Good job you have memorized all of the basic spells. I think you're ready for the real spells this part of the training will become a bit difficult but I believe you can do it" replied the half elf woman.

"Does that include learning light elemental spells?" Sakura said.

"Yes that is also part of the training…"

"I don't know if I will be able to perform such thing. I don't even know if I'm a light element recently I didn't even know that light existed like a regular element."

"I believe you can cast light spells as well Sakura. A lot of the users of healing arts can cast light base spells you are no different" Raine said.

The pink haired medic nodded" you said that Boltzman believed that every living being had another power inside of themselves besides chakra or mana. The power of healing does that mean that everyone can use healing arts?"

Raine smiled at her" I see your using your knowledge on master Boltzman I'm impressed. To answer your question yes everyone can learn healing arts if they have the necessary control of mana, however to some is not that easy while others find it impossible to achieve. Others have that gift already healing arts take a lot of concentration and mana to perform" she gazed at Sakura who nodded' it's also the reason why half elves and elves are more suited to use magic.'

"I get it now it's the same with learning medical ninjutsu. It takes a lot of chakra control to perform I was able to learn medical ninjutsu because of my perfect chakra control" replied Sakura.

"That's why I believe you have what it takes to master healing arts. If we keep this up you will learn all there is to it."

"All right I'm ready!"

Suddenly the door opened revealing Colette holding a basket she smiled" hey you guys I hope you're hungry I made sandwiches!"

Raine smiled" Sakura how about if we take a break you're going to need the energy for the upcoming training?"

"I guess it won't hurt to eat something. I am a little hungry…"

Colette smiled taking two sandwiches from the basket" here you go I hope you like them. I made them myself!"

"Thanks Colette I like your cooking" replied Sakura taking a bite from her sandwich which she like it' this is good, at least is way better than my cooking' she sweat dropped.

'It's better than my cooking' thought Raine with a sweat dropped.

(Training field number seven forest region Konoha)

Naruto and Sheena were having another sparring match to test their skills. It has become their favorite hobby since they got to know each other after the monsters attack on the village. In one month and a half both teenagers have grown close becoming very good friends they have found out that both were similar in personalities, and a little similar in stamina. But still it wasn't compare to Naruto's stamina which was huge at least the raven haired guardian user knew she was in for a good fight when taking on the blond ninja. It looked like both of them knew each other better than anyone even if she still hasn't fully opened up to him. She hasn't told him about the tragedy with Volt in failing to form a pact with the summon spirit of lighting. It was the same with Naruto that he hasn't told her about the Kyuubi sealed in him he wasn't ready yet, not to mention that the topic was very delicate to him. Fearing that people will hate him for carrying the demon fox inside of him especially telling his secret to someone like Sheena fearing she will hate him. However the raven haired summoner wanted to find out his big secret remembering when she saw him engulfed in a red cloak resembling a fox and the energy felt so dark and evil. She wanted him to open up to her as prove of how deep their friendship has grown. She either didn't wanted to pressured him that he will become nervous and he might keep his distance from her, it was the last thing she wanted.

They were having one tough taijutsu match no weapons. Naruto chose not to use his twin swords it's been a while since he has fought with his fists, this was the better time to test his fists that he hasn't lost his touch in taijutsu. Sheena has also proven to be a very good fighter in taijutsu she has blocked all of his blows quickly even with using shadow clones. Her speed and agility was impressive and perhaps she was holding back on him since she wasn't using her guardian cards just using her basic jutsus like substitution and teleport. Naruto chased her through the tree catching up to her he launched a punch which the raven haired guardian user dodged without making an effort. He grinned as his shadow clones charged at her she managed to block all of their blows, she countered with a kick which the blond caught with his hands. He gasped when she vanished in smoke she frowned knowing that has used a teleportation technique to escape him it wasn't the first time she has done this. He gazed around him but he didn't waste any time trying to find her.

'Not this time Sheena' he made a cross shape hand seal" shadow clone jutsu!"

POOF!!!

Ten Naruto clones appeared each of them went separate ways. He knew that she was doing this so he let his guard down each of them jumped through the trees searching for the summoner. It wasn't enough to stop the chief of Mizuho as one shadow clone was defeated, another one was taken down. Naruto growled he knew they were being defeated she was hiding well but he still kept his eyes opened he watched another clone vanished. He grinned as he charged at a near tree which he succeeded finding Sheena he launched a punch which she dodged and attacked the rest of the clones. But she let her guard down defeated the remaining clones as Naruto appeared from behind her grabbed her in a head lock. He grinned in victory watching the raven haired guardian user trying to break free there was no way out to escape.

"I got you Sheena…."

"Not bad Naruto…." She replied with a grin" but you can't catch me that easily."

She broke free slipping through she managed to break from his hold. Naruto charged at her and both started exchanging blows although she was amazed at his speed and his energy. They were probably sparring for hours and he still didn't show any signs that he was tire they continued throwing blows without causing a hit to the other. Naruto threw a powerful kick and Sheen jumped away landing on a tree branch lucky that she evaded just in time but he clumsiness got the better of her when she slip falling from the three.

"Sheena!"

Naruto was quick to catch her in time but he tripped running towards her. He was too worried for her safety that she felt on top of him and both of them felt to the ground. He managed to break her fall without noticing it but he realized soon enough his situation, the raven haired beauty was on top of him and he was feeling her body. The one thing that caught him in surprise that he was very close to Sheena's face and namely their lips, the sight alone was enough to make him blush deep. This was the first time he had a girl so close to him ever it was like a dream come true. He always dreamed that he will have Sakura like this so close and almost in his arms but now he was thinking someone else, the raven haired guardian user who was on top of him. He completely froze when he was only thinking in wrapping his arms around her and never let her go he was right now in dreamland, he wasn't the only one. Sheena was blushing when she realized that she was on top of Naruto this was probably the first time she has been so close to a boy before. Not that she was desperate looking for a boyfriend she was just too busy with her position as chief of Mizuho she never had any time to think about such things. It didn't last long she was too embarrassed that she removed herself from him the blush was still present in her cheeks, along with the blond ninja.

"Sorry I accidentally tripped…." She was still blushing.

"It's okay…." He was still blushing.

Their eyes locked for a moment like time has stopped. Her brown orbs meeting cerulean orbs it was a fantastic view like it was taken from a heavenly dream. None of them said a word as they continued to gaze into each other's eyes and for some reason they didn't wanted to stop. Both felt like they could do this forever it was wonderful to stay admiring their eyes and features forever, all things have to come to an end one way or the other. Sheena was the one who finally broke the awkward moment even in her mind she didn't wanted to stop looking at him no matter how embarrassed she felt. She erased her blush as well as Naruto who looked embarrassed and silly at the same time, he was still caught in the day dream that she landed on top of him by accident.

"Thanks for breaking my fall. I hope you're not hurt Naruto…."

The blond ninja gave his fox grin" nah I'm okay it will take more than that to hurt me."

She sighed" I really hate when that happens I may be very agile, but I'm clumsy too. Sometimes I mess up I have this ability to always fall into holes. It's annoying I can't stand it…" she remembered all the times she tripped and ended up falling into a hole during her journey with her friends.

"An ability to fall into holes?" thought Naruto out loud" that sounds like a very dangerous bloodline."

Sheena blinked a couple of times after hearing that. Before she ended up laughing, she laughed so hard tears were coming out of her eyes. Naruto didn't know what he did but he smiled at the sight he actually like seeing the raven haired summoner laughing, it made him happy. She finally calmed down on her laughing drying her tears she has never laughed so hard in a while which it reminded her why she liked being with the blond ninja, he made her laugh.

"Oh haha Naruto….a bloodline about falling into holes that's really funny. But no it's not a bloodline it's more like my clumsiness it happens when I least expected."

"That makes two of us. You know I'm not the brightest light bulb or most agile ninja, but I work hard and never give up towards my goals and dreams. I think it's the heart that matters than strength believe it!"

She smiled" you're right heart is all that matters because I wouldn't be the person I am today without my heart. Thanks Naruto you know exactly what to say to a girl…." She paused preventing herself from blushing 'what the heck is wrong with me?'

"Thanks pervy sage says that I don't understand the heart of a woman and stuff but I think he's wrong. I understand how a woman feels" he smiled with a sweat dropped' sort of.'

"I think you do. We have sparred for too long how about if we take a break?"

"Yeah so Sheena how about if we…."

"Let's eat to a place that isn't Ichiraku's" she replied cutting him off with a smirk" we're always going there I really want to eat somewhere else."

"Oh yeah I guess it could be tiring for you to always eat in the same place. That doesn't work on me."

"That because you're addicted to ramen."

"True it's my favorite food in the world!" he gave his fox grin.

They started walking off from the forest leaving the training field. They were quiet for a while and Sheena was stealing glances at the blond, she couldn't stop thinking about that time. When he was engulfed in the evil red energy and his facial features changed completely, looking more feral like a wild animal. His eyes blood red, his fangs and claws it was inhuman how could he have changed in appearance like he wasn't himself. She felt the evil presence of another being very powerful yet she hasn't let it get to her remembering Naruto's expression and the way he attacked the dragon. Then there was the part when he was engulfed in a bright white light returning to normal, the only thing that entered her mind is that it must be related to his exsphere. It must have reversed the effect changing him back to his normal self. Whatever was that evil aura she felt it was definitely not human she tried to bring the topic into conversation. But she failed the only thing she did was steal glances at him a sad excuse for her failure.

Naruto finally noticed her staring at him" something wrong Sheena?"

"It's nothing….nothing at all…." Her brown eyes softened' damn it…why can't I say it?'

"You sure?"

"Yeah I'm fine" she smiled at him pushing the topic she had in mind aside" so Naruto who is this pervy sage you mentioned?"

Naruto smiled thinking about the toad sanin" he's my teacher he taught me to fight during my training trip with him for three years. But let me warn you he's a big pervert" he frowned at the last time.

This caught Sheena's attention" really a pervert?"

"Yeah….well no he's not a pervert he always say he's a super pervert. Nothing to feel proud about that."

"He surely can't be a bigger pervert than Zelos!?" she asked in shock.

"I don't know about that but to me pervy sage is the biggest pervert in the five countries."

'He must be that perverted. Whoa I never thought I will say this, but looks like Zelos has some competition' Sheena sweat dropped.

(Village district near the hot baths)

"Achoo!" sneeze Jiraiya before grinning' a beautiful woman must be talking about me. I'm so love.'

He grinned before he went to his favorite place in the entire world, the hot baths. The one place where he gets his peace of mind and to gather his research material for upcoming books, he just loves to write. He needed more ideas for his next novel and this was always the one place where he can get the ideas he's looking for. After finally talking business with Tsunade he can finally relax and do he's hobby pepping when he's really doing his research, either way it was the perfect lame excuse to peek. He sneaked at the back of the hot baths going to his usual spot which it was the perfect spot to peek, he was so eager like a little kid dying to play with his favorite toy. He was dying to see the naked bodies of the women of Konoha which they are very impressive he has seen dozens of bodies before, but Konoha tops them all as the best figure he has laid eyes on. It was the main reason why he loves to come to the village after doing his usual business as an information provider to the Hokage. He reached his favorite peeking spot separating the male's baths as he knelt down on the ground going to the small peeking hole on the other side of the women's bath. He was going to enjoy this since it's been a while since he had done his research.

'Time to take a peek at the beautiful women of Konoha I really missed those bodies' he grinned as he took a look before he realized something was wrong' hey wait a minute….what's wrong?'

He felt something was odd in his peeking spot and he could tell. He felt the strange sense of someone's chakra quickly he became aware that he wasn't the only one who has been here which clearly disturbed him a lot.

'Someone has been peeking in my favorite peeking spot but how?' he quickly lost interest in peeking at the women something very unusual that happens to him' whoever he is must be someone skilful to be able to find my secret peeking spot. This is bothering me I better go take a look around the village if I can find something on this stranger.'

He vanished from the place in a cloud of smoke.

(Time skip)

(Village district middle session)

Jiraiya was walking the streets of the village not looking happy at all. He was trying to gain any leads on whoever was peeking on his secret spot but he hasn't found any information on the stranger. But that wasn't what got him in a bad mood it was the fact that he tried to hit on women he has gotten rejected by them, something that rarely happens to him. His charms and good looks have taken the attention of women everywhere making him the number one ladies man. They called him Jiraiya the gallant which he was proud of the title after being called the toad sanin from the legendary sanins. He used his deadliest charms to have the women bow to his feet but they didn't listen to him, they turned him down like he was just a regular man who wanted to conquer their hearts. It's like they were laughing at his face like he was an amateur who didn't know a thing of understanding the heart of a woman. His eyes hardened he was going to find this stranger and put him in his place after all, his pride was on the line. His ears perked up when he heard women laughing and giggling followed by a man's voice, it seems he has found his target. He walked to the source of the laughing until he reached a corner and not too far he saw a group of women near a dango stand.

All of the women were young and beautiful but his eyes fell on a certain long red head. He could tell that he was a man and he glared seeing that he was sweet talking the ladies, using his charms to have them under his spell. Jealousy rose within him he wasn't going to let this continue any longer he was the cause of the women turning him down and he was also a pervert like himself, no doubt he was a future rival. He glared at the red head making the women laugh while they blushing at him he was already the center of attention for the women in the village. Not as he was still alive and standing in this world.

'This won't go any longer whoever he is he has gone too far' thought the upset toad sanin.

"Oh Zelos you're amazing!" one woman said with hearts on her eyes.

"Zelos can I be part of your group of most precious hunnies?!"

"Well you already have the beauty maybe I can make you a future candidate of the group!" replied the red head chosen.

"What about me?!" asked another young woman.

"You're beautiful too you're all beautiful. Oh what the heck I will make all of you part of my group of precious hunnies I just can't help it!"

"Oh Zelos!!!"

"Ha I am so love its good being me!" he replied with hearts in his eyes as the women gave him a group hug.

'That's it!' Jiraiya growled finally reaching him giving the red head a glare" hey pal?!"

Zelos looked at him" hmm can I help you pops?"

'Pops?!' his left eye started twitching in annoyance for his comment.

"Hey it's Jiraiya-sama" one of the women said.

"You guys know him?" asked Zelos.

Jiraiya frowned" you don't know who I am?!"

"And should I care if I do?" the red head chosen said rudely.

The toad sanin decided to let him know who he was doing his usual intro dance" I am the ladies man and amazing ninja the mountain toad sage the gallant Jiraiya of the legendary sanins know my name!"

However Zelos was talking with the women ignoring him making Jiraiya face fault" what the….didn't you hear me I am the ultimate ladies man and legend Jiraiya?!!"

"I'm sorry pops I was too distracted talking to all these beauties right here. What did you say?"

The toad sanin growled hating to repeat himself" I said I am the ultimate ladies man and the mountain toad sage the gallant Jiraiya of the legendary sanins!"

He only got a laugh from Zelos who made the women laughed as well he growled at him" what's so funny?!"

The red head chosen dried his tears" oh I'm sorry did you just say that you're the ultimate ladies man?"

"That's right!" he replied with pride he knew he was telling the truth.

Zelos shook his head" look pops not to offend you or anything but you're not the ultimate ladies man."

"What…." Jiraiya was shocked seeing the women all over the red head chosen.

"Look around you….who is the man who has the women all over him?"

"You are Zelos" they women replied in unison.

"And who is the ultimate ladies man?" he grinned.

"You are Zelos!"

"You see pops the hunnies speaks for themselves I am the ultimate ladies man not you. I don't even know how you could call yourself a ladies' man look at you?!"

Jiraiya felt the painful blow to his pride glaring at him" what is there something wrong with me?"

"Of course there's something wrong with you. You're ugly look at that red make up on your eyes it's so out of fashion and your clothing it's a fashion designer's worst nightmare. Not to mention that you're old!"

"What?!!" he shouted feeling his pride crushed into a million pieces.

"Yup the truth hurts pops it's a fact. You're old I'm young you're ugly I'm handsome you're un cool and I'm cool you're un suavo and I'm suavo your unsexy I'm sexy, and the list goes on and on. Perhaps you were the ultimate ladies man many years ago but not anymore, just retire and hand me the torch I will make an even better replacement than you."

"That's not true go ahead ladies tell him he's wrong!" the toad sanin gazed at the women around the red head chosen.

He saw the looks in their faces and it was pretty clear they had no intention to agree with him whatsoever. They too attached to Zelos to say a word they were all over him like bees around honey and it hit him the toad sanin hard. They didn't care about him or they weren't interested in him anymore he could try to win them over with his charms but it will be futile. He knew he will fail because they have already being won over by the red head chosen, he will have to admit that he has lost this battle. His pride was already destroyed and there was nothing else to say, someone more handsome and cool and sexy has come and defeated him taking his title from him. After the long silence ended Zelos chuckle he started walking off with his hunnies following him close by.

"Come on my hunnies let's leave the unsuavo behind!"

Jiraya had tears at the corner of his eyes before he fell on his knees crying" nooooooo whyyyyy I have lost my mojo!!!"

(Jiraiya obtained the title of un suavo description: he lost his mojo according to him but he knew he had to pass the torch sooner or later, he has to realize he can't stay forever as the ultimate ladies man)

(Azuchi grill restaurant market district Konoha)

Shizune and Tonton arrived at the restaurant feeling nervous. It was the first time she has come to an expensive restaurant even if Tsunade has given her some money enough to pay for her food. She never thought she will eat in such place especially when she was going to be eating together with Regal. She blushed thinking about it she couldn't believe Tsunade has pulled a fast one on her just to get her off her back and let her have a break from her job. She has turned her supposed discussion with the older man about side projects for the village when in truth it was a date, not just a date but it was her first date ever. She has never dated before being busy training under Tsunade traveling with her she never gave a thought about dating men; she has always been interested in the idea for a long time. She started getting cold feet she was finally here and yet she couldn't go through with it this was a chance Tsunade has given her and perhaps she shouldn't waste it. She gazed at him who was waiting at one of the far tables on the right just wearing regular clothing like he wasn't expecting this was supposed to be a date. She took a deep breath gathering some courage to go through with this, this time she was going to believe in herself.

'All right….I can do this. We're just going to talk that's all there's nothing romantic about all of this. But this won't stay like this I will get even with Tsunade-sama for doing this though.'

"Wait here Tonton" she took another deep breath before heading towards the table leaving the small pig behind.

'I have to calm down….we're only going to talk and this is mostly about his ideas of the side projects for the village. Nothing romantic at all and he's probably unaware that this just going to be a conversation about business….'

She reached the tables of the end walking up to him who was still looking at his table unaware of her presence. She blushed gazing at him he looked more handsome up close it scared her that she has never felt this way about a man before, it only boost her confidence to go for it just like her master told her. She smiled at him and by now Regal was looking at her finally seeing her he seemed surprise at first but he gave her a warm smile. It was the kind of smile that would make her blush and her heart melt, he looks so adorable.

'I have to keep it together now you can do this Shizune…' she through erasing her blush.

"Hello Regal…"

"Shizune it's you….what a surprise to see you here I'm here expecting to meet up with Tsunade to discuss business. I have come up with various ideas to develop the village housing system as well as economic relief."

"Yes I know about that Tsunade-sama told me all about it. I must tell you that, I know you were expecting her to come but unfortunately she can't" she saw his surprise expression before continuing" she's busy with another meeting that came early so she sent me to take her place for today" she sweat dropped thinking that the slug sanin was probably drinking sake or even gambling.

"I see then I have no problem with it. I don't mind having you here, you already know about the topic from Tsunade. I will like to get straight to the business, please have a seat."

She nodded before Regal went to fix her seat making her smile at his action' he's so polite…'

She took her seat looking at him erasing the thought that this was a date" so let's get started."

"Certainly" he replied taking some plans from his seat he rolled it putting it on the table" my first idea is to build an apartment complex at least thirty feet high with ten floors. It will be economic for the consumers I'm looking for the best solution to satisfy both the consumer and the Hokage."

"I know she would love this idea Regal believe me" she thought about Tsunade who would do anything not to waste too much money."

"Very well so I have your full support on this side project?" Regal replied.

"Yes that will be all right…."

"Good let's move on" he pulled away the plans for the apartment complex and put another one showing a large facility" this is my second idea I realized that a large village like Konoha must be consuming a lot of electrical energy. I want to build an energy plant that will help consume electricity on low level decreasing its cost to the people therefore it will be more economic on the people's budget."

Shizune nodded she was very impressed' wow…he really has great ideas no doubt Tsunade-sama would accept his ideas. She has found the perfect person who would help her solving the village economic deficit.'

"May I have your opinion Shizune as Tsunade's representative I would like to know your thoughts on this?"

"Not at all I believe you have great ideas to help the village Regal I am certain Tsunade-sama would be please to hear this. You really are a smart man with a logical point of view…" she tried not to blush.

"I see then with her full support I would like to give the order for the team to begin the construction of these projects?"

"Yes I will ask her I will also like if you would lend me the plans for these side projects. Tsunade-sama must see what she's approving."

"Of course you can have them. I already made copies of the plans everyone will be on standby waiting to hear Tsunade's approval"

"You really work for fast Regal you're full prepared to do this" Shizune replied with a smile gazing at him with a lot of admiration in her dark eyes.

"I have gotten used to do things quickly. Its how I do things when I'm working."

"That's right I'm sure you have a job back in your world" she smiled happy that she has managed to get some conversation with him leaving the topic of business behind.

"Yes I do have a job back in my world. However the Lezareno Company is really busy and packed with lots of work since the unification of the two worlds" replied Regal.

"Lezareno Company?" Shizune blinked.

"It's where our work I managed the company."

"Managed…..what's your job?"

"I run the company I'm the president."

Shizune's eyes widened in shock' he's the president…..of the whole company?!'

"Wow….you really are very important Regal I can see why you're so hardworking and very clever in creating side projects" she smiled feeling herself blush' he's really amazing….I'm sure Tsunade-sama would jump for joy if she finds out that he's so important and rich.'

"Thank you. To be honest I like being here staying Konoha is like having a vacation, it's nice to take a long break every once in a while."

"It's not quite right when you're working as it is" Shizune smiled fondly at him.

"Actually I have more work at the company than here."

"Well I know that you're busy but I was wondering if you would like since we're here already how about if we order something to eat."

Regal smiled" I already did it should be coming right about now…"

Shizune blinked when a waiter came handing her a dish with shrimps salad and dipping sauce. He handed Regal a bowl of soup she felt herself blushing again. To think he has already thought ahead was very charming now she felt like she was having a romantic dinner with him. She gazed at him who gave her a cordial smile.

"Shall we eat?"

"Yes I am quite hungry thank you Regal."

"Don't mention it the pleasure is mine."

Shizune started eating staring dreamily at the older man' for my first date this is the most wonderful date ever!'

(Top of the Hokage monument)

Jiraiya was in deep thought and it was usually ironic. Naruto was the one who always comes here to think things through whenever he felt bothered or upset, now he was the one who needed some thinking and time to cool down. He has never given up on anything in his entire life through hard work and never ending determination he has come a long way becoming into a strong ninja, a legend. Now he felt like it was over and perhaps he should give up not his ninja status or his sanin title, but he's title of the ultimate ladies and sex symbol. It seems there was a new sheriff in town walking the path to become the best womanizer there ever was, better than him. He didn't wanted to think about it every time he does it hurts him a lot his pride was already shattered when he saw the women ignoring him and walking away with Zelos. The red head chosen was better than him and it seems he has already surpassed him there was no need to walked in his footsteps anymore. He flinched remembering his hurtful and cold words that left him broken with a destroyed pride. The words kept on repeating in his head over and over again.

"Yup the truth hurts pops. You're old I'm young, you're ugly I'm handsome, you're un cool I'm cool, you're un suavo I'm suavo, you're un sexy I'm sexy…."

"I am the ultimate ladies man."

'Maybe he's right…..I am getting a little out of shape and….old. I'm not as young as I used to be and with the way he was dominating the ladies he is truly a true ladies man. I guess it's over for me looks like the great gallant Jiraiya will have to thrown in the towel there's new sex symbol in town and he's here to stay.'

He started thinking about the past. All the times he has peep in the women's bath and all the times he has conquer the ladies making them fall to his knees. When he entered a make out pub bar he always had every woman by his side they love him, and he loves them too. Every single wanted to be with him because he has work hard to become a womanizer, a sex symbol, a super pervert and the ultimate ladies man. Maybe he wasn't thinking straight to make the right decision.

He suddenly thought about Zelos and glared his fight tightening' no….it won't end like this I will not give up. I'm not ready to quit I am still a ladies' man and super pervert. You better prepare yourself Zelos the toad mountain sage is not ready to kneel before you….. I will get my mojo back!'

He vanished in a cloud of smoke.

(Time skip)

(Dango stand market district)

Zelos was having the time of his life. His hunnies have invited him to all you can eat dango which he was enjoying the sweet food a lot. He ate another stick while the women were blushing at him while some had hearts in their eyes day dreaming of the red head chosen. He was truly enjoying the company and the free food he knew it already. It was good being him he didn't noticed that the women stopped feeding. He was caught up in the moment before he gazed at his group of hunnies. They were all looking in front of them like there was something worth gazing over to stop giving him food, it must be something important.

"What's wrong my hunnies?" he gazed at the same direction as them.

He saw him standing on a railing in front of the dango stand. Jiraiya's white hair flapping because of the wind his gaze serious and determined like there was no turning back from his choice. The people that were passing by stopped their walking seeing the toad sanin standing on top of them watching over them like he was a guardian hero. However his eyes were only fixed on the red head chosen who was staring at him with not much interest. Their eyes locked and a spark has been lit, the beginning of a rivalry has been marked today. Zelos shook his head he looked at his hunnies to keep feeding him more dango but Jiraiya wasn't going to stay and watch as he continues to steal his title. He vanished and reappeared again next to him shocking the women he took the plate of dango preventing him from eating another bite.

"What do you want now pops?" he asked while sighing.

"This village is not big enough for two perverts like us. It's time to settle this once and for all."

The red head chosen chuckle" what's this are you challenging me?"

"Yes I challenge you to a fight. We'll use our skills in combat in order to win the title of super pervert and the ultimate ladies man, what do you say?" he replied seriously.

"Come on pops I don't want to hurt you. It will be very abusive of me if I fight you, it's no contest who will be the victor you don't stand a chance against me" Zelos grinned.

"You really think I'm weak?" asked the amused Jiraiya.

"Yes you're just an old man…." He replied with a yawn.

"Um…actually Zelos Jiraiya-sama is anything but weak" one of the women said.

"Huh what do you mean?" Zelos was confused by her comment.

"Jiraiya-sama is one of legendary sanins of Konoha. The sanins are the strongest ninjas in the hidden leaf village they are highly not to be underestimated" another women said.

"Our current Hokage Tsunade-sama is another member of the legendary sanins" another replied.

Jiraiya sweat dropped at their comments' oh so now they are complimenting me, women can be very shallow sometimes.'

"I see…." Zelos gazed at the toad sanin" if you're as strong as they say you are then I won't have a problem fighting you."

"Does that mean you're accepting my challenge?"

"Yes I do the great Zelos never backs down from a challenge once he accepts. Just don't say I didn't warn you pops."

Jiraiya nodded" all right but not here. We can't fight inside of the village without causing any harm to the people we will fight outside of the village. Meet me at the forest south of Konoha in one hour" he vanished in a cloud of smoke.

"Sure thing pops….." he grinned' this will be too easy.'

(Time skip: one hour later)

(Forest region miles away from Konoha fire country territory)

The two fighters were standing face to face no one else was around. They were alone and they were meeting each other's gaze both of them were ready for their confrontation. Both knew what was in stake here their pride was in the line to keep their title of ultimate ladies man, to them this fight meant everything. Jiraiya had no intention to lose this fight remembering what was at stake everything was lead to the victor of this match. He was the toad sanin super pervert and most amazing ninja his determination was burning bright he was going to win he never gives up like Naruto. Zelos was very confident that he was going to win he thought that Jiraiya was just a weakling who wasn't worth his time, although he admired his determination but he wasn't going to win. However part of him wanted the toad sanin to be a true opponent keeping in mind that he's a pervert and ladies man like himself. He has never met someone who was just like himself in his world he's the ultimate icon there was no one like him. He was ready for the fight now that he had his weapons equipped, Excalibur and the blue shield. He missed his strongest sword Last Fencer but he decided to return it back to his sister Seles as a gift that he will always care for her.

He grinned at the toad sanin seeing the serious expression on his face, he was ready for the fight as well. The only thing he did is take out his blue shield and Excalibur preparing himself for the upcoming fight.

"You sure you want to do this pops last chance to back out and prevent complete humiliation?"

"Not a chance I want this fight a lot. I admit I never thought I would meet someone else who is cool and smooth like myself, whether who becomes the victor in this fight I want you to know that you have my respects as a fellow pervert Zelos."

"Thanks for the compliment pops I guess. I kind of feel the same way about you, I like your secret spot to peek at the women's hot baths" Zelos's eyes turned into heart shapes.

"Oh so you did notice it was me who found the spot?" Jiriaya grinned with a chuckle" yeah it's the best spot to peek and no one will ever be spotted. You did give it a good use…"

"Let's leave the conversation and get this over with pops, just don't disappoint me old man."

"I have no intention come now!"

(Battle time)

(Music: Tales of Symphonia soundtrack Abbyssion battle)

"Jiraiya has arrived!"

"Pops I won't go easy on you."

Zelos made the first move charging at the toad sanin which he was well aware of his quick pace.

'He's fast….' he made a hand seals" earth release dark swamp!"

The red head chosen gasped getting stuck on a black hole which he started sinking slowly like it was quick sand.

"What the….."

Jiraiya grinned" you won't be freely now. The dark swamp stops your movements and slowly sinks you to the bottom there's no escape."

Zelos chuckle" not bad pops"

The toad sanin was in shock as he saw his body covered in a powerful energy that was coming from the spherical stone embedded on his chest. He broke free from the dark swamp and charged at him again this time he was going to be ready to take him down.

"Lighting blade!"

Jiraiya escaped the lighting thrust of his sword and he quickly countered using his hard on him. His hair grew in size and wrapped itself around Zelos like a snake he was trapped unable to move. He tried using his strength powered up by his cruxis crystal and he still couldn't escape.

"Clever pops….never thought you would use your hair as a weapon."

"It's a special technique one I know very well…"

Zelos decided to escape as he started casting a spell in order to escape.

'What?!' Jiraiya was too shocked that he let go of his hair releasing the red head chosen.

"You asked for this pops….eruption!"

He dodged as he saw an opening on the earth releasing a mini volcano releasing a lot of lava. He sighed in relief because he managed to escape the strong technique he turned his gaze towards Zelos.

'What was that….it wasn't a jutsu he didn't made hand seals. Who is he?'

"Demon Fang!"

Jiraiya escaped the shockwave from the ground' looks like I need to use extreme measures.'

He bit his thumb making some blood come out making hand seals" summoning jutsu!"

POOF!!!

After the cloud of vanished there was a 6 foot toad and Jiraiya jumped on top of it. However Zelos grinned at his tactic and his ability.

'Looks like pops is full of surprises.'

"Now!" Jiraiya warned the toad to attack while making hand seals" ninja art toad fire blast!"

He shot a powerful flame while the toad shot oil creating a large fire wave. Part of the field was covered by the fire making it a little hard to see, even if he didn't wanted to jump to conclusions. He was certain that Zelos was still alive seeing a glimpse of his strength he was right when he saw him standing on a tree branch. He wasn't impressed he seemed to be nervous his abilities were far beyond normal from a regular ninja. He made the toad he was standing vanished as he took a long look at the red head chosen.

'I made the jutsu faster than ever and yet he was able to dodge it. He's that fast his strength, speed and agility there's no way a ninja would be able to have such high attributes. There's something about him…'

"That was quite impressive pops you almost had me there" Zelos said with a grin.

"I have a question I would like to ask you" he gazed at the spherical object in his chest" are you a friend of Lloyd?"

"You know my bud Lloyd?" smiled the red head chosen at the mention of his friend's name.

The toad sanin nodded' I see so he's one of Lloyd's companions. Then that small round thing on his chest must be what Tsunade told me an exsphere it's supposed to increase someone's dormant abilities. Tsunade wasn't kidding it clearly explains why he's so strong it makes it hard to believe that such powerful tools exists. I thought the jinchurikkis were the only powerful weapons in the world.'

"I haven't met Lloyd yet I only heard of him."

Zelos only nodded as he cast another spell" wind blade!"

Jiraiya gasped as he felt waves of powerful wind barely touching he escaped just in time. He groaned as he noticed that he got a small wound on his right shoulder from the spell, he gazed at Zelos who has lunged at him Excalibur in his hand. He barely dodged the fast sword attacks from the red head chosen making it very difficult to evade.

'He's so fast if I'm not careful I will get kill…' he grinned at him" ninja art needle jizou!"

The toad sanin's white hair turned into long needles reaching all the way to his ankles resembling a porcupine. Zelos's sword got stuck between the thick needles he tried taking the sword out it was Jiraiya's chance to strike with a powerful blow.

'He has lowered his guard it's over' he formed a blue sphere on his right hand" rasengan!"

Zelos groaned he was hit by the powerful spiraling sphere of chakra sending him far away to a tree. He was hit hard looks like the victor of the fight was Jiraiya. He grinned at his win even if he was impressed with his opponent's performance. Unfortunately he spoke too soon as the same tree where Zelos landed exploded feeling a powerful burst of chakra surrounding the whole forest. The toad sanin had to take a couple of steps back feeling the chakra emitting from the red head chosen he has never felt anything like it before.

'Such powerful chakra….it feels strong like the nine tails….is that even possible?'

Zelos was ready to cast his most powerful spell in order to finish the fight. He gazed at Jiraiya who was trying very hard not to freak out or pee in his pants, he only grinned at him about to release what he has in store for him.

"Get ready for this pops…..time to finish this!"

The toad sanin got into a defensive position waiting for the powerful attack. However it never happened because Zelos stopped focusing his mana canceling the spell he gave a goofy smile.

"Just kidding!"

Jiraiya face faulted before he got up with a sweat dropped" what?!"

The red head chosen laughed" yeah I'm done with this fight. I'm bore I have nothing against you pops, you're not my enemy."

The toad sanin gave him a frown" so wait you weren't taking me seriously?"

"Oh I was taking you seriously I am just tire. I don't like fighting unnecessary battles you fought a great battle though."

Jiraiya sighed in relief' well I guess the fight is over.'

(Music ends)

"Come on Zelos I better get you to the hospital to have your injuries heal."

"It's all right pops I'm okay I'm not that hurt" Zelos grinned walking towards him.

The toad sanin was shocked seeing the small wound that he had on his stomach where he hit him with his rasengan' impossible I hit him head on with a full force rasengan and he's not too wounded. Any regular person wouldn't be able to get up let alone walk….these exspheres are truly powerful.'

"You sure you're all right?"

"Of course I'm cool don't get too worried pops!"

"You fought a goof fight Zelos I can see you're no ordinary opponent."

"My thoughts exactly pops you're stronger than you look."

Jiraiya shared a laugh with him" anyway I don't mind to have some competition in the ladies department, you're one heck of competition. How about if we go do some research?"

"Research?" Zelos blinked not having a clue what he was talking about.

"You know peeking at the hot baths?" the toad sanin gave a perverted grin.

The red head chosen had hearts in his eyes going into full pervert mode" yeah let's go!"

They started walking while Jiraiya took a copy of Itcha Itcha paradise" you know Zelos I'm a writer peeking at the hot baths gives me the inspiration to continue writing here's an example of my work. I also have more volumes from the series"

Zelos took the book and started reading the first pages. He blushed before giggling and got hearts in his eyes again what he was reading was perfect and it was the exact thing he was looking for.

"Pops this is awesome!" she shouted in pure joy.

Jiraiya nodded proudly' looks like I have gained another devoted fan.'

(Zelos obtained the title of "fanatic" description: I love the Itcha Itcha series!")

Next chapter Cooking festival: a recipe for disaster

(Omake title: Valentine's special)

Naruto was writing a Valentine's card for Sheena. He was in his room concentrating writing the exact word he wanted o write for the raven haired summoner. At first he thought of writing a letter for Sakura then he rethought his choice expecting that she was going to punch him to the next village, so he chose Sheena instead. He finally writing the last words as he started blushing before taking sheet and put it in a envelope and writing Sheena's name. He smiled proudly looking at his Valentine's gift for the raven haired beauty. He blushed again thinking what Jiraiya told him about Valentine's Day that it was the day to finally tell the women you like how much you love her.

"Valentine's day is the perfect day to declare your love to the women who is very special to you."

'Sheena is going to like my card. Although she won't know it's from me, maybe I should write my name instead of secret admirer.'

He ignored his thoughts about it and went towards his window facing the village" look out Konoha Uzumaki Naruto has a mission for Valentine's Day!"

Suddenly a powerful gust of wind blew taking the letter from his hand" ah come back here!" he went after the runaway letter.

(Village district middle section)

"Here you my blond hunny a gift from the great Zelos!" he took a large bouquet of roses.

Ino was blushing giggling kindly accepting his gift" oh Zelos they are beautiful I have never seen such unique roses thank you very much!"

"Anything for you my blond hunny" he winked at her.

Lloyd sweat dropped at his gift" that's the same bouquet of roses you gave to every single woman in the village."

"What?!" Ino was shocked.

"Don't listen to him my blond hunny I only bought these roses for you only."

Lloyd sighed before he turned to Tenten giving her a wrapped long box" here you go happy Valentine's Day!"

The bun haired weapon's mistress un wrapped the box and gasped" oh Lloyd a customized shuriken and kunai set thanks here's your gift!" she gave him a long wrapped box.

The twin swordsman removed the gift wrapping and removed the box smiling widely" all right new sword sheets thanks Tenten!"

"They are made of strong leather and I ordered them to be made so it fits your swords perfectly!"

Lloyd took off his old sheets and placed his material blade" awesome they fit perfectly thanks Tenten!"

"You're welcome" she smiled with a light blush on her cheeks.

Zelos shook his head" shessh would you two just kiss already?"

"Shut up Zelos!" shouted Lloyd his whole face blushing.

"Yeah we're a just friend that's all!" Tenten replied her face blushing too.

"Whatever he replied" he sighed' man those two are in denial.'

Suddenly Sheena came to the group smiling at them, before she noticed that a letter landed on her hand. She was surprised before she took a long look at it seeing her name written on the envelope, it was clearly a letter for her. Naruto came seconds later before he saw his letter on the girl he wanted to receive the destined letter. There was no need for him to stay here since she had his letter it would be best if she didn't know the person who wrote the letter. He left and the group didn't notice his presence, he gave a smile while walking away.

'Heh mission accomplish.'

"Hey Sheena looks like someone gave you a love letter" Lloyd said looking at the letter she was holding.

"Yeah maybe it's a mistake and it's originally for another Sheena who lives here" replied Zelos.

That comment earned the red head chosen a smack from Sheena as she left them wanting to read the letter alone.

"Nice move Zelos…." Ino said with a sweat dropped.

"I was just kidding…" he rubbed his aching head.

Sheena walking the streets decided to open the envelope and started reading the letter.

You're wonderful….I want you to know that's you're beautiful and you always lift my spirit high. You're funny and kind you have become someone close to me, someone special. I hope that someday we can forge a strong bond and stay together.

Happy Valentine's Day

From your secret admirer

Sheena was blushing while smiling her heart was beating so fast. She smiled warmly as she gazed at the sky thinking about the stranger who wrote her such beautiful letter.

'Secret admirer eh….I wonder who he is I would like to meet him?'

Authors Notes: yeah I know Valentine's Day is over a while ago but I couldn't help in making this cute omake. Besides were still in the month of love lol.^_^
