Rika-Chan24- Hey guys! Here is the next chapter, I hope all of you like it. :)

Thanks for all of the Reviews, faves and follows!

Fangirl304: Sorry I didn't answer your question, since you don't have an account that I can reply to I forgot to answer it. I think they will be just friends. For right now, I am not doing any pairings and may not at all. I hope you don't mind, and still continue to read my story.

I got quite a few suggestions for group names. Ssome made me laugh and I like them, but they would work for the story. I might just list a few and see what people like.

I don't own naruto.

Naruto walked through the village a few days later, he was enjoying the day off for once. The final part of the chunnin exams will be in three weeks. That's when everything is really going to start.

At the moment, Naruto really didn't want to deal or worry with it right now. He was kind of avoiding the rest of the Konoha 12; he didn't really want to deal with all of them for the moment.

Though they had a meeting of sorts later today, so for now Naruto didn't need to worry about them.

He was walking by the hot springs when something caught his eye.

A man dressed in red and green, with long white hair was squatting next to the fence. Naruto froze in his tracks. He only knew one person like that.

"Ero-sennin…" Naruto mumbled. Yes, Naruto knew he would see Jiraiya again; after all they were in the past.

Naruto's heart was beating fast, and he really wanted to rush over there and hug the sannin.

It was really hard for Naruto to hold back. It had been so long since Naruto had last seen him.

"Hey Gaki! Why are you standing there?! Jiraiya's voice rang through his ears. "You're going to attract attention."

Naruto had subconsciously walked closer to where the toad sannin had squatted down by the fence. Naruto's eyes began to gather with water, Naruto hadn't cried since…well it definitely had been a very long time.

Way back sometime before they had time traveled. Naruto really couldn't remember when.

All of a sudden it was like everything Naruto had been through since before time traveling, and everything with the war had caught up with him. It just all wanted to come out.

Jiraiya was quite confused with the boy, and it showed on his face. "Are you alright kid?"

Naruto finally didn't' care anymore, and he didn't care was Jiraiya was going to say.

"Ero-sennin!"

The blonde plowed right into the white-haired man, and hugged him. Naruto didn't want to let go, he was slightly afraid that the man would disappear.

Jiraiya was even more confused by this; he had no clue why Minato's son was hugging him.

They hadn't even met each other, until today. Well when the boy was only a few weeks old, when he checked the seal. They didn't officially meet until today.

Jiraiya decided to just go with it, and let the boy hug it, by the way he was crying and mumbling he seemed like he really needed one.

"Why? Why did you have to go alone? Did you know what that did to Tsunade-Baa-chan? To me?" Naruto mumbled out, and Jiraiya could barely make out what he was saying.

"What are you talking about Gaki?" Jiraiya asked.

Naruto finally let go of the toad sannin, and looked up at him.

"I have a lot to tell you Ero-sennin." Naruto began to say.

"Hey don't call me…." Jiraiya was cut off by Naruto, who all of a sudden grabbed his shoulder and shunshined the two of them to an abandoned training ground.

"What the hell Gaki! What is going on? Does the old man know you can do that?" Jiraiya asked.

'I will explain everything, just..." Naruto paused in the middle of his sentence, so he could think of what he wanted to say.

"Should I tell Ero-sennin? Though we do need someone else who is older and knows what is going on. I have always trusted Jiraiya, but Kakashi and the other sensei's have been trying to figure out what is going on with us.

We need someone else who can cover for us. I don't really want to bring so many into the situation already. The more that know, the harder it is to keep it secret." Naruto thought.

"Ok Ero sannin, first off...you have to hear me out, let me tell you everything, and then you can ask questions.

This is S-ranked kind of information. The old man is the only one that knows this, and well I guess the one tail…." Naruto mumbled out at the end.

"Alright Gaki, I will hear you out and then we will go from there." Jiraiya replied.

Naruto took a deep breath and then began telling Jiraiya about the future and everything that had happened so far.

Jiraiya blinked several times after hearing Naruto's story. Naruto's life sounded like it was harsh, crazy and the boy seemed to be a walking target for everything.

Almost every single mission there was some problem. Though now Jiraiya knew why Naruto was so upset when they met a few hours ago.

"Prove that you're from the future. Then I just might believe you." Jiraiya finally said after a few minutes.

Naruto nodded in understanding and began to make a Rasengan in his hand. He then proceeded to make it bigger and headed straight for a tree nearby.

Jiraiya was quite shocked by this, and was even more shocked when the blonde destroyed not one tree but a few others that were behind it.

"Sorry, I can't add the wind element to it yet. My body wouldn't be able to handle it." Naruto explained.

"Hmmm, I see. Well kid I think I believe you, your story checks out well, but just in case I am going to see how well you do with this." Jiraiya replied as he dug out the toad summoning contract.

"I was going to have you sign it later, but you seem to know what to do." Jiraiya said.

Naruto grinned. He was finally getting the toad contact. He really missed seeing the toads.

Naruto quickly bit his thumb to draw blood and signed the contract where is name usually would be.

"Ok Gaki. Summon the toad boss for me." Jiraiya told the blond.

Naruto quickly went through the hand signs and yelled out.

"Summoning jutsu!"

A huge cloud of smoke rose from underneath Naruto and expanded around the clearing. Naruto summoned Gamabunta on the first try.

"What's going on? Jiraiya why did you summon me? You are still in trouble from the last time you summoned me!" Gamabunta told the sannin. Though before Jiraiya could reply, Naruto interrupted.

"It wasn't Ero-sennin that summoned you. It was me!" Naruto told the giant toad.

"You summoned me? I don't think a runt like you actually summoned me." Gamabunta answered Naruto.

"I really did, I can summon Gamakichi or Gamatatsu if you want. I will prove I did." Naruto told the boss toad.

"Alright kid, summon my two sons and we will see." The toad boss replied.

Naruto grinned and jumped down from Gamabunta's head. As soon as the blonde landed in a squat he began to do the hand signs once more.

"Summoning jutsu."

A small poof of smoke later and both Gamakichi and Gamatatsu appeared next to Naruto.

"Hey pops! What's going on?" Gamakichi asked as he recognized his father and Jiraiya, though he had no clue who the blond kid was.

"It seems like we have a new summoner now." Gamabunta answered.

"Yes! I now can summon toads! Hey Boss toad, isn't there some test I have to do?" Naruto asked.

The Toad boss chuckled a bit. "Yes, you have to drink sake with me, but seeing that you are too young to be drinking. I will have to wait a few years."

"Hey do you have any snacks?" Gamatatsu asked hopefully.

"You idiot, you can't just ask people for food." Gamakichi replied to his younger brother.

"I actually do, would you like some?" Naruto asked the small yellow toad. "You can have some to, Gamakichi." Naruto added as he pulled out the snacks he just happen to have from his pouch.

"Yay snacks!" Gamatatsu cheered as he grabbed some from Naruto's hands. Gamakichi grabbed the rest of the snacks from Naruto.

"We will see you later kid, we have things to do." Gamakichi told him, before the two of them disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"I guess I will see you around Gaki, and Jiraiya you're still in trouble." With that Gamabunta left in a puff of smoke.

Naruto was now walking back through the village; Jiraiya had said he was going to the Hokage, so this left Naruto to wander once more.

Naruto walked towards training ground seven, the others were probably all waiting for him to show up. They all had a lot to discuss before the third part of the exam.

"There you are Naruto, what took you so long?" Kiba asked the blonde genin.

"Sorry, I ran into an old toad peaking into the hot springs." Naruto answered. The time travelers that were amongst the group knew exactly who he was talking about.

"Whatever, can we just get on with this? I want to train." Neji interrupted before anyone else could reply.

"What is it that you wanted to talk about Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked shyly.

"Right, well as you guys know the third wanted us find out about the few spies that were in the exam. We already know just about every spy that is in the exam. From what I understand, there is going to be an attack during the third part of the exam." Naruto began.

"What! Why aren't we solving the problem now? Why are we waiting?" Ino asked.

"Troublesome blond, why don't you just let Naruto finish first and then ask questions?" Shikamaru asked.

"What did you say, you lazy ass? I just wanted to know, I didn't know if he was going to continue." Ino shouted in reply.

"Ino please calm down, you can shout at Shikamaru later." Choji told the girl.

"Fine!" Ino replied as she faced away from Shikamaru with a pout.

"Anyways Ino, the answer to your question is simple. Orochimaru doesn't know that we know about the attack. We have the element of surprise; we can't let Orochimaru be tipped of that we know." Naruto answered.

"So what are we doing about it?" Tenten asked.

"Us genin have a totally different plan. Sure Hokage-Jii has hidden Anbu and stuff, but we are all on the inside.

So I am going to tell you what were going to do. After that I think it is best that we all train as much as we can, but don't push yourselves to bad.

We won't meet again until a few days before the third exam so we can go over the plan once more. Is everyone ok with this?" Naruto asked the group.

"YOSH! Our spring time of youth is burning brightly; we will show everyone what the power of youth can do!" Lee shouted.

"Sounds like a plan to me!" Kiba agreed, followed by a bark of agreement from Akumaru.

The rest of the group had similar replies, and a few just nodded in agreement.

"So Naruto, what is your plan anyways?" Sakura asked.

Naruto sighed, before he began to tell everyone his plans for the third exam.

Naruto was again walking through the streets of Konoha two weeks later; he was currently taking a break from all the training he had been doing, and was searching for the sand siblings.

It was very important to get the three of them to work alongside the group. After all Gaara is one of the main contributors to the attack.

Naruto was now checking through the many training grounds of Konoha when he felt Gaara's chakra signature spike a few minutes ago.

Just as Naruto arrived in training ground 24, Gaara appeared in front of him, in a swirl of sand.

"Hey Gaara, I was looking for you. How have you been?" Naruto asked.

"Hello Naruto. I have been rather well now that I can sleep. I want to thank you once again. What is it that you need?" Gaara replied.

"That's great! You're welcome, I am glad I could help. You are my friend after all; I help all of my friends whenever I can. I actually wanted to talk to you about the third exam."

"I see, so you know about the attack then?" Gaara asked in reply.

Naruto sighed; he really hoped this would work. If he got Gaara to help them out, it would be a lot easier to fight off everyone during the attack.

"Yes, I do. I thought maybe I could change your mind, and help us out instead." Naruto answered. "I really don't want to have to fight you, and I also don't want any of my friends to get hurt either, that includes you." Naruto explained.

"I know you might not want to hear this, but your father isn't alive anymore. Orochimaru has taken his place as the Kazekage to get into the exam without worry of being caught." Naruto added.

"I see, after being able to sleep, and having a few discussions with Shukaku I think it would be best to side with you.

I have actually been meaning to tell you about the exam, but you seem to have beaten me to it." Gaara explained.

"Oh, well that works well with me. I really appreciate it, talk to your siblings about the exam as well.

Talk to them, they do care about you. Otherwise they wouldn't have stayed with you, even if they were your siblings." Naruto replied.

"I understand Naruto; I will speak with them and see you in about a week then." Gaara said.

"Wait, three days before the exam come to my apartment to discuss plans. It would be best if everyone knew who was on what side. Oh, and I want you to ask Shukaku about me.

Tell him to tell you everything. Though I recommended you do it when your alone and won't be doing anything for a while." Naruto explained.

Gaara nodded, before leaving in a swirl of sand. Once Gaara was out of sight, Naruto took a deep breath.

"All this planning is starting to make my head hurt. I feel like there is so much to do in so little time. Not to mention what things I have to do, after the whole exam fiasco is over." Naruto thought.

"Don't worry about it too much. For now just take it a day at a time, that the only thing you can do. You can't keep stressing about all the things that need to be done, it won't be good for you." Kurama replied to the blond genin.

"Yeah, I know. That's why I attacked Ero-sennin with a hug and burst into tears when I saw him. I guess holding all of that in for so long, kind of took over. You know me, I like to express my emotions in battle and to everyone I meet." Naruto said.

"Yes kit, we all know you wear your heart on your sleeve. How about some training, I don't want to hear anymore of your mushy feelings. We have work to do." Kurama replied.

"Alright, I will get back to training. Though first, I am going to stop for some ramen, before I do anything else." Naruto answered with a grin. With that Naruto headed to Ichiraku's.

It was finally the third day before the chunnin exams, and Naruto was setting everything up in his apartment.

Sure his apartment was small, and some people might have to squish a little, but it was one of the easiest places to use privacy seals.

So his place was about the only place that would work. Naruto didn't want many people to know of his plans.

The Konoha 12 and the sand siblings were enough. He was almost considering Zabuza and Haku to help, but they were probably better off not knowing.

It was about an hour later that everyone began to show up and find some spot to sit in. Though half of the group was quite surprised when Gaara showed up with his siblings in tow.

Naruto activated his seals, before turning to the group.

"Let me talk, before people start freaking out. Gaara is on our side now, and is willing to help." Naruto began.

Some nodded in understanding, though there were a few who still kept their guard up and were unsure. Two of them were Temari and Kankuro; they seemed quite unsure what to do.

"Hold on a second. Who put you in charge?" Kankuro asked just before Naruto was going to start.

"I have talked to at least half the group about this plan. Sure, I am not the smartest one in the group, and I would probably lose if they all wanted to fight me, and I know at least five of them would give me a hard time if I fought them separately. Each of you are al l strong in your own way, and contribute to the group very well." Naruto began.

"The Hokage let me have the clearance to have a 12 man team to work together with for the chunnin exams. I just added you guys in, to help the plan move along better. Gaara is my friend, and now Kankuro, you and Temari are my friends too. I am just trying to keep everyone safe is all." Naruto finished.

"If everyone knew about the future, this wouldn't be hard to explain. I just can't let too many people know, it just get more complicated that way." Naruto thought.

The room was silent for a few minutes, everyone was thinking over Naruto's words.

"It's ok Naruto; just continue on with what you were saying for the plan." Temari told the blond. Temari could detect some kind of hidden meaning in those words, though she couldn't figure out what they actually were.

Naruto sighed once more, before explaining his plan.

"Ok, here is what is going to happen. We are all going to go on as if we know nothing is going to happen. We are all going to go all the way through the fights. Though do not go all out, we all need to be able to fight through the attack." Naruto explained.

"Are you sure that is a good idea? Isn't Gaara the signal to start the attack? If he is on our side, how is that going to work?" Sasuke asked.

"Gaara is going to fake it. I already have that handled; you two will fight until I give the signal.

I am going to have Kage Bunshin scouting around the village. While the fights are going on.

If I can pin point where Sound and Sand-nin's are going to attack from, I know where to send you guys." Naruto told them.

"Hmm…..that seems like a good plan to me so far. Though, what about any other spies? We don't know what their plans are." Shikamaru replied.

"You don't have to worry about Dosu, he is already dead. He has been trying to follow me for the past few days now. I think your plan will work completely fine, without him in the exam." Gaara explained to the group.

"That's good; Kabuto is one of our main concerns as well as Orochimaru. The old man is in charge of that part though. We will all have to do our best and hope it all works out ok. Kabuto is a threat and a tough opponent. Be careful the next few days, and don't talk about any plans. We don't want anything to go wrong, if we can help it." Naruto told the group.

"So for now, all we can do is wait for the third part of the chunnin exams to start?" Choji asked as he munched on a bag of potato chips.

"Sadly that is all we can do." Neji answered for Naruto.

"Hey, how are you going to talk to us when were sitting in the stands?" Tenten asked.

"Tenten does have a point." Shino commented.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about that." Naruto replied as he left the room for a few minutes, before coming back with a small box.

"Usually, we only can get these through the mission desk, but I got the Hokage to give me a box." Naruto began as he started to pull out wireless radios.

"Those of you, who will be watching the exam, will each have yours on before the exam starts. They are already synced up with each other, so no one has to worry about it."

"The rest of us will do the same, though I would advise to be careful when fighting with them on." Naruto explained as he gave the last one in the box to Sasuke. Naruto already took his out, when he first got the box of them from the hokage.

"Alright, now that all the planning is over with, how about we all go hang out for a while? I have enough food and everything." Naruto asked.

"Who would pass for free food, I am in." Choji replied.

"Yeah! Let's eat and have a little fun!" Ino agreed.

"Troublesome, I suppose it is better than going home." Shikamaru added.

"I agree." Shino commented.

"Hinata-sama, would you like to stay? I don't mind staying; I don't think your father would mind as long as you weren't alone." Neji asked his cousin.

"I would like to stay." Hinata replied.

"Count me in!" Kiba said.

"Yosh! Everyone's youth is burning brightly today! I will stay also! Is anyone else staying?" Lee cheered.

"Lee calm down will you. It's pretty much clear that everyone is going to stay." Tenten told her teammate.

"I guess we can stay for a while." Temari said. Kankuro nodded in agreement.

Gaara didn't say anything, but he didn't leave, so everyone assumed he was staying too.

Sakura had already gone into the kitchen to help Naruto with the food, and Sasuke had said as much as Gaara.

It wasn't long until everyone was eating food, and chatting amongst each other. Even the sand siblings seemed to be having fun.

Naruto looked around the room, and smiled. He was glad, he got everyone to stay and have a fun time. They didn't really do this often in the first time line.

Kankuro was talking with Choji, Kiba and Lee about some mission he had went on.

Neji and Shikamaru were quietly talking to each other, about strategies and such. Though, he was sure he heard his name a few times.

Sasuke was playing Gaara in Shogi, while Shino was beside them watching the game. He was probably going to play next.

The girls had taken up the whole couch talking about Shopping or something. Naruto wasn't quite sure really.

Naruto definitely like this at the moment, no one had to worry about a thing.

"Hey Naruto, come tell Kankuro the jutsu you made up, and defeated the third with. That story is always hilarious." Kiba shouted to the blond across the room.

"Kiba I just want you to know, that I am not going to actually do the jutsu in here. I would surely get attacked by the women in the room" Naruto replied as he walked over to them.

Of course, since Naruto's apartment is fairly small, everyone heard this.

"You are definitely correct Naruto. I figured you would learn that eventually, it just took a few years." Sakura replied.

"Yeah, yeah I know. Go back to your own conversation." Naruto said.

Sakura rolled her eyes at him, before going back to talking about a new dress she had gotten.

The rest of the night was filled with laughter, and everyone was enjoying their time with each other. After all the chaos was soon to begin.

(Somewhere in the dark, dark, Forest of Death)

"Kabuto, what have you found out?"

"Not much Orochimaru-sama, the genin here in Konoha are keeping their mouths shut and don't seem to know what is going on. I believe they all may have met up today with the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki." Kabuto explained.

"I see. Have you had any other problems?" Orochimaru asked.

"The one-tail killed Dosu, though I don't know if anyone knows about our plans." Kabuto answered.

"Ku ku ku, well I wouldn't put it pass my old sensei to be suspicious. Make sure the four are ready, and have fifth be ready to come to our aid if need be." Orochimaru explained.

"Yes, Orochimaru-sama. I will see you soon then. I still have to speak to Baki and give him an update of our plans." Kabuto explained.

Orochimaru nodded in understanding, before Kabuto Shunshined away.

"It seems like the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki is trying to mess with my plans. It won't work though; soon Konoha will burn to the ground. Ku ku ku." Orochimaru chuckled as he to left the Forest of Death.

I hope the chapter was ok. It was mostly a filler, and explained what was going on during the month. I hope you guys liked Naruto seeing Jiraiya again. Cause really, I think it makes sense and Naruto displays his emotions more than most people. He is also twelve again, and it has been a long time since he last saw him.

Review! I will try to update as soon as I can. :)-
