A/N: I know I promised this last week, but I came down with a Summer Cold just after Grad. I'm still feeling a bit out of it, so that might affect if this chapter's any good or not. But it is one of my longer chapters!

Also, has anyone read the newest chapter of Naruto yet? Anyone else think that that damn technique should have won?


Naruto felt his mind drift off as Shikamaru and Temari's battle started to drag on past two minutes. Madara noticed immediately when the blond's attention spanned into nothingness, as the preteen started staring at a crack in the wall as if reminiscing how it got there.


In fact, Naruto was having a flashback. Not that anyone could see it, as it was Naruto's flashback and not anyone else's. Anyways, Naruto was thinking back to when he was training with Jiraiya to summon Toads.


It wasn't going to well. No matter what he tried, he could summon a stupid toad! All he got was crappy looking half-deformed tadpoles. Which Jiraiya freaked about, as apparently, there was no deformed tadpoles on Mount Myoboku, whatever that was. Naruto tried once again to summon a toad. He bit his thumb and quickly performed the required seals, before slamming a hand down with a shout of,

"SUMMONING JUTSU!" A large cloud of smoke burst into existence, before it dissipated and revealed yet another tadpole. At least this one was only missing it's one back leg. Last time he summoned one, the thing's head was completely gone! He heard Jiraiya sputter angrily before he dismissed the tadpole.

"You brat! Can't you at least try for whole tadpoles! It's better than torturing the poor things by decapitating them!" Naruto frowned at the long words in that sentence.

"What's torturing mean? And decapipatin'?" Naruto winced as he knew he mangled the second word. Jiraiya stared at him.

"Are you... are you really that stupid?" Naruto bristled and glared at him.

"I'M NOT STUPID YOU PERVERTED ASS!" Jiraiya glared right back.

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING PERVERTED BRAT!"

"I'M CALLING YOU PERVERTED YOU PERVERTED JERK!"

"THAT'S IT!" Jiraiya reached out and pushed against Naruto's chest. Naruto flew back. In fact, he flew so far back that he fell off off the damn cliff they were training next to.

"HOLY MOTHER OF THE RAMEN GOD!" Naruto screamed as he fell into the crevice. His sensitive ears just barely picked up an angry snarl from above him and Hashirama's voice screaming at Jiraiya for his stupidity of throwing Naruto off of a cliff. Naruto spared a brief moment to wonder how long Hashirama was watching Naruto's failures at summoning. He closed his eyes with a desperate shout of, "I DON'T WANNA DIE!"


Naruto opened his eyes to see a large cage in front of him, with an eerily large, red, demonic-looking, eye peering out at him. Naruto stared for a few more seconds before saying, "Hello! I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto looked around before returning his attention to the eye, which hadn't moved or blinked yet. "Say, d'you know where we are? Last I remember, I was fallin' off of a cliff and was about to die."

"..." The eye finally blinked before a light (that most definitely had not been there before!) lit up to reveal that the eye belonged to the Kyuubi.

"Oh, hey, I didn't know I could come visit you!" That made the Kyuubi blink again and mutter something under his breath.

"BRAT!" The Kyuubi roared, nearly terrifying Naruto to death. "What are you doing here!" Naruto frowned and tilted his head.

"I went over that already. I was fallin' to my death and then I was here. Say, d'you think I can borrow some chakra? If I could summon the Toad Boss then I could not die." Naruto grinned wide. The Kyuubi gave Naruto a long hard stare before it seemed to shrug.

"Sure, why not. Now, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" It roared once again, sending a wave of red chakra at Naruto and forcibly ejecting him from his own mind.


Hashirama stormed angrily up to a now cowering Jiraiya after said Sannin pushed Naruto off of a cliff. Jiraiya was chattering a million miles a minute trying to placate the former Hokage. Hashirama vaguely heard two people land behind him, and immediately placed their chakras as his brother and Madara.

"WHY IN ALL OF THE ELEMENTAL NATIONS DID YOU THROW A GENIN OFF OF A DAMN CLIFF! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" Hashirama screamed angrily, feeling near ready to push Jiraiya off of the cliff. He heard Tobirama make a noise of surpirse while Madara just scoffed and muttered about wanting to have pushed Naruto off of a cliff himself.

"I-It was the only way I could think of to make him use his tenant's power!" Hashirama hissed through his teeth.

"That is still no reason to throw a Genin off a cliff! What if the seal was designed so Naruto couldn't access the Kyuubi's power, huh! What then! Who's going to save him?!" Hashirama took a breath and, ignoring Madara's snickers and comments about needing popcorn, opened his mouth to continue his tirade. He was cut off, though, by Naruto's scream of,

"SUMMONING JUTSU!" And then, from the depths of the crevice, the large Toad Boss leaped up, Naruto dancing happily on his head. "I DID IT! I DID IT! I'M SO AWESOME!"
