In case it had been forgotten I don't own Naruto or any of the characters
Chapter 13: Search for Tsunade
It had been several hours since Naruto and Jiraiya had left Konoha and finally the toad sage stoped for a rest.
"ok Naruto while we are walking I have a new chakra control exercise for you" the white haired man spoke taking out a black metal ball the size of his fist and chucking it to Naruto who caught it
"wow this thing is heavy erosennin what am I supposed to do with it" Naruto asked curious as to what his new exercise would be
"i want you to stick the ball to your body and use chakra to move it around this should greatly improve your chakra control now I only have two of them so unfortunately you can only use one clone to help with mastering it" Jiraiya said and Naruto got to work but the task was proving difficult.
(at Konoha)
looking down on the village two men slowly stalked forward both were wearing black full length coats that had red clouds and large straw hat's as they walked mist started to gather around them hiding the pair from view
"well well Itachi this place looks like it has seen better days your not fealing nostalgic are you" the taller of the two said
"I feel nothing coming back here now lets just find our target and leave" the shorter member said as they casually walked towards the village
(30 minutes later)
Kakashi was standing outside a small sweets store as he saw Asuma and Kurenai walking towards him casually getting there attention they walked over to see what he wanted after a small seemingly unimportant conversation he subtly signaled them to follow him
the three jonnin arrived in the park and came to a stop behind two men in long black cloaks
"Well well well what do we have here acouple of lost ninja who don't belong here" Asuma spoke
the pair turned around to see who had disturbed there search
"Itatchi Uchiha you sure have some nerve to show your face around here and who is your partner, my if it isnt Kisame Hoshigaki the Monster of the mist" Kakashi said in a serious tone "so what are two members of the akatsuki doing here" he completed getting into a loose stance in case he is attacked by these two S class ninja
"My my well you are well informed Kakashi Hatake how is it you know about us" Itachi said in a monotone voice
"I have my ways now why are you here" the silver haired ninja spoke revealing his sharingan
"are you here for Sasuke to finish what you started" Asuma asked wondering why the pair were here of all place's
"Sasuke doesn't concern me we are looking for the Yondaime's legacy" Itachi droned
"So your after Naruto for the kyuubi but you wont get him we wont let you" and with that Kakashi flew forward and kicked the Uchiha onto the river and jumped down to follow him leaving Kurenai and Asuma with Kisame
Itachi stood and activated his sharingan but before he could move he was stabbed in the chest with a kunai, looking down the black haired missing ninja bust into water shocking Kakashi went wide eyed and had no time to react as he to was stabbed from behind before he to burst into water
"you are quiet talented in using the sharingan Kakashi but let me show you how to use it properly" itachi said turning to where the real Kakashi was standing.
Kisame landed next to itachi as his eyes began to morph into a three point pinwheel and started spinning
"quick cover your eyes do not look at Itachi" Kakashi quickly warned the other leaf ninja about the mangekyo Sharingan but it was to late for the copy ninja.
"Tsukoiomi" Itachi whispered trapping the copy ninja
The other jonnin were shocked one second Kakashi is fine the next he collapsed in front of them unconscious
"Kisame were leaving we have been discovered and we don't want the entire of Konoha to be here but we need to take Kakashi and find out how he knew about us" said the stoic missing ninja
Kisame went to move to collect the copy ninja but was intercepted by a flying green blur who knocked the tall shark like man away
"hm Kisame now is the time to retreat before any more reinforcements arrive" Itachi said and with that both missing ninja fled producing a sigh in relief from from Kurenai and Asuma
(one hour later at the hospital)
the jonnin who were at the conflict with the Akatsuki were standing around the the bed Kakashi was in he had not yet awoken from the effects of the Genjutsu attack.
Sasuke walked in as he had been told his sensei was here "what happened to Kakashi sensei I was looking for him to train me" the black haired genin said
the other rookie's sensei's and Gai shared looks and were about to lie to cover up the fact his brother was in town when a chunin barged in the door
"Did you guys here Itachi Uchiha was in town and his looking for Naruto" the chunin yelled to the room
shock appeared on Sasuke's face and he ran out of the room to look for his brother 'I finaly have a chance I can finally kill you Itachi, but how do I find you I guess I should find the dobe that way Itachi will find me' Sasuke thought as he ran down the street's looking for the blond
(later that day)
"well you could probably take him I don't think I would stand a chance" Kisame said looking down at there target
"no if we were to fight I would loose only together would we stand a chance and even then I don't think we would make it out with our lives we must not engage in battle with the toad sage we need to find a way to separate the pair" Itachi said his face completely void of emotion
(With Jiraiya and Naruto several hours later)
"ok gaki we are going to stay in this town for tonight while I go collect information on Tsunade's whereabouts I want you to stay and practice your chakra control here take the second ball and use a clone" Jiraiya said as the two walked into a hotel before parting way's
"what ever erosennin you just want to go and try and pick up women" Naruto said but didn't care he had made a bit of progress on the ball moving exercise and wanted to complete it and he knew it would be easier if he could relax in the hotel
Several hour's passed and Naruto and his clone were both practicing the task his sensei had set when a knock could be heard on the door
"what all the women reject you already" Naruto said as he waled to the door however when he opened it he did not see his sensei but two people he had never seen before.
"who the hell are you people, I think you and fish face are looking for a different room" Naruto said to the shorter of the pair
"Hey Itachi are you sure this is him" Kisame asked
"yes im sure, now Naruto-kun I need you to come with us" Itatchi said
"Hell no Im not going with you two what ever you guys do in your alone time is fine with me but im not joining in go find somone else freaks" Naruto yelled
"uh Itachi did that prick just say we were gay" Kisame said
"um I believe he did" Itachi stated
"Wait Itatchi... Itachi Uchiha?" the blond asked
"hey what do you know hes heard of you" the shark man said "now since I cant kill him can I at least cut off his legs so he cant get away" the shark finished removing Samehareda from his back
"you know of all the Uchiha for you to leave alive why the fuck did you pick such a stuck up egotistical Teme like Sasuke or do you enjoy the fact that hes a power hungry wanker that dose nothing but brood" Naruto taunted trying to get a reaction from the still emotionless Uchiha
Itachi was about to step in to subdue his target when he felt a presence at his side
"Itachi! I have been training my whole life for the time I could finally kill you and todays the day" Sasuke Screamed
"Sasuke what the hell are you doing here get away neither of us stand a chance against either of these to don't be stupid" Naruto called out trying to make the black haired genin see reason
Sadly Naruto's plea's fell on deaf ears and Sasuke charged a Chidori in hand
Itachi looked on in mild interest as Sasuke charged forward but just as the emo brooder went to deliver the attack on target the elder Uchiha lazily caught Sasuke's arm
the Raiton jutsu died down as Sasuke glared at the man he had sworn to kill.
"hey Itachi that kid looks just like you" Kisame said in mild interest of the Genin who had been stupid enough to attack two S class shinobi
"Indeed he dose Kisame this is my Little brother... … how have you been Sasuke-kun" Itachi asked
Sasuke kicked out and Itachi released him "ill be doing a lot better once I kill you" Sasuke yelled charging once again
"Foolish Little Brother" Itachi said as he easily blocked Sasuke's punch before bringing up his knee knocking the breath out of the younger raven haired ninja and kicked him in the chest sending him flying to the end of the hall
Itachi quickly followed up charging at the recovering Sasuke who threw another punch which was easily dodged the arm proceeding to break it without mercy, the elder Uchiha's eyes then morphed into a three point pinwheel "your to weak you don't have enough hate to kill me and do you know what you never will" and the next second Sasuke screamed before collapsing in a heap
"wow that was brutal to do that to your own brother now can we hurry up and take the nine tails" Kisame said
"Oh im sorry but I left as soon as I fond out you weren't erosennin but we should be back soon" Naruto stated before disappearing in a puff of smoke
even Itachi's eyes went wide at this "Kisame we have to get out of here NOW!" the usually calm Itachi said with a hint of urgency
they turned to leave but found there legs were caught in a tough fleshy substance
"Oh you arnt going anywhere" the voice of the toad sage rang out as he and Naruto appeared from around the corner
"Kisame we must leave lets go" and with that the pair ran and a huge wall of flesh came from behind them as they rounded the corner the pair found that they were traped and about to be crushed "Amatersau" Itachi called in desperation and black flames shot out from his eyes
upon arriving at where the missing ninja fled to Jiriaya and Naruto saw a hole burned through the toad style jutsu and the wall
"Dont touch that Naruto it was able to burn through the stomach lining of the fire toad that isnt normal flames we have to seal it why don't you do the honors think of it as a test" Jiraiya said
Naruto hadnt had a chance to test one of his elemental seals but jumped at the chance, drawing up a fire suppression seal he began to seal the flames away receiving proud smile and a rub on the head from the toad sage
"well done and don't worry those two wont be back" Jiraiya said but as he turned to go check on the fallen Uchiha a roar was heard and Jiraiya was knocked to the side by a flying green blur when it stopped it revealed Mighto Gai
"oh my Jiraiya-sama I am sorry you see I was hiding around the corner when I had the most youthful idea to use my hetai-it as a mirror and I saw a menacing figure looking down at an unconscious Sasuke and well I was forced to act again I apologize again for my most unyouthful attack" the green clad ninja with the bowl haircut said bowing to the floored toad sage
"Thats ok Gai really but we need to get Sasuke back to Konoha can you take him to the hospital for us" Jiraiya asked
"YOSH I will compete the task you set and if I cant I will do 500 laps of Konoha on my hands and if I cant do that I will climb the hokage monument with my teath and if I cant do that I will-" but Gai was cut off before he could finish
"Look Gai can you just take him already he needs medical attention" The old hermit said
Gai soon left with Sasuke on his back making for Konoha at top speeds and Naruto and Jiraiya returned to there room
(1 week later)
"so are you sure shes here erosennin" Naruto asked
"oh she's here alright or at least she was here" Jiraiya replied "come on lets go check out the palace it should be around here somewhere"
"you know shouldn't a palace be like big" Naruto asked
"of course it is its huge" the white haired hermit said
"then isn't it kinda odd we cant see it" Naruto said as they rounded a corner and a large pile of rubble came into view "wow what happened here"
"I don't know but I plan to find out" Jiraiya said as he eyed the rubble of the palace suspiciously
(That Night)
"Oi gaki were going to eat in here"
"but erosennin that's a bar I don't think I am allowed in there" Naruto said
"your a ninja so you are considered an adult now come on" Jiraiya said walking onto the bar
the pair entered the bar and Jiraiya walked straight to the back of the room
"hello Tsunade-hime you are looking as beautiful as ever" Jiraiya said as he took a seat
"Jiraiya what a terrible surprise to what do I owe the honor... whos the kid" said the lady who looked like she was in her late 20's and had the largest pair of breasts Naruto had ever seen now the boy wasn't a pervert but it was hard not to notice the size of the woman's assets
"ah yes this is Naruto Uzumaki my new apprentice" Jiraiya said proudly
"have you heard about Konoha" Jiraiya asked
"yeah I heard I heard about sensei as well Orochimaru told me himself" she said with little emotion in her voice
"so I take it that he was the person who did the number on the palace... …. so what did he want" Jiraiya asked
"he wanted me to heal his arms sensei did a number on him that's for sure" Tsunade replied
"and what did you do" Jiraiya asked
"I did nothing and he left" Tsunade said offhandedly "now what did you want"
"well to be blunt I want you to come back to Konoha and be Gondaime hokage" Jiraiya said
"no way I refuse the hokage's were nothing but fools who threw away there lives for nothing even my grandfather and granduncle playing hokage is nothing but a fools game" Tsunade snaped
Naruto was fed up this woman was supposed to be the next hokage and yet she was nothing but disrespectful towards them his hero's and the closest thing to a grandfather he ever had "Thats it you old hag how dare you insult the hokages they gave there life to protect there people and were honorable men whilst you are nothing but a drunk I am glad you don't want to be the next hokage because you are nothing but a washed up drunk" Naruto yelled
"you wanna take this outside you little shit" Tsunade seethed
"bring it on Baa-chan" Naruto said getting up
the two walked outside and glared at each other with Jiraiya and Tsunade's apprentice Shizune watching from the side's
"Tsunade-sama don't do this hes just a genin" Shizune begged
"No I need to teach the gaki a lesson but I think I will go easy on him tell you what kid I will only use one finger" the slug sannin taunted
"fine I don't care I don't care if you were erosennin's team mates I wont let you insult the hokage's in front of me" Naruto yelled as he charged forward
Tsunade ducked under his punch and flicked him in the chest sending him flying to the end of the road
"pathetic so gaki why are you so hung up on the hokage's anyway" she asked the boy who had just made it to his feat
"Because it is my dream to be hokage and you disrespecting them is spitting on my dream" Naruto said shaking in rage trying to form a rasengan but forgetting to form a clone only formed the second stage he charged forward in anger
Tsunade was stunned this boy had the same dram as her dead lover and brother, she was shocked but she was brought out of her shock by the sight of the charging blond with an unstable blue sphere in his hands acting quickly she slammed her finger into the ground crating a crack in the earth that trapped the blond
"Jiraiya who do you think you are teaching him that jutsu only you and the Yondaime can use that jutsu" Tsunade spat
"why not, you could even say its his right to learn it" Jiraiya said with a knowing smile
"just you watch baa-chan give me three days and I will have it completely mastered" Naruto said determination evident in his voice
"get real kid it took the Yondaime three years to crate that jutsu and Jiraiya a year to learn it what makes you think you can do it in three days" Tsunade smirked "tell you what if you can master it in a week I will give you my necklace she said pointing to the crystal hanging around her neck
"Tsunade-sama no you cant that is the only thing you have never gambled" Shizune said
"What about if I cant do it what do you want" Naruto said still confident
"then I get all the money in froggy" the Slug summoner said as she picked up Naruto's frog wallet
"Gama-chan! …. … fine you got a bet" Naruto said and he created a shadow clone to pull him up from the earth
(Later that night at a Bar)
"why did you bring him here Jiraiya was it because you knew he would remind me of Nawakii and Dan I could almost see them in him" Tsunade sighed taking another gulp of saki
"he is my apprentice besides I made a promise to Minato I would teach his son once he became a ninja and the fact that he is the embodiment of his fathers will and mothers fiery personality makes him hard not to like
"yes I can tell he is a lot like his mother already so do you really think he can learn the rasengan" Tsunade asked
"he already knows it he can make one perfectly he just uses a shadow clone to help controlling his incredibly large chakra supply's" Jiraiya said smirking at the shocked look on his old teammate's face
"then I have already lost the bet" she said defeated "I should have known damn gaki played me he already had it won"
"He may have the jutsu so he can use it but he refuses to believe it is mastered until he no longer needs a clone to use it I have even given him jonnin chakra control exercise's to help him, so he hasn't won the bet yet altho I have no doubt that he will he wouldn't cheat anyone its not in him to do that" Jiraiya said comforting his long time crush
(the next day)
'ill show that Tsunade-Baachan that I can master this jutsu I just need to get better chakra control first so I don't need to use clones' Naruto thought creating several hundred clones keeping two to use his new ball rolling technique he split the other half to tree climbing whilst leaf sticking and water walking while leaf floating
Naruto continued with the clones for hour while he attempted rasengan after rasengan dispelling one clone every five minutes, the blond was painfully unaware of the pair of slitted blue feminine eyes staring at him in awe of his determination and resilience 'wow look at him go' the girl thought
"maybe you should go talk to him kitten I can tell from here he holds the kyuubi" a voice from in her head spoke
'I think I will' the girl thought in response
