Chapter 5

Jiraiya the Sannin

"Talking/Justu"

'Thinking'

Sadness, that is what most people felt on day after the attack on the Village hidden in the leaves. Not long after breakfast it had started raining as the news the Hokage had died speared throughout the town. A funeral was set for the next day as people started rebuilding their village though they were luck that only a small part of the village had been hit by the summon snakes that had attacked in the invasion.

Naruto walked through the groups of people that hurried to repair or clear out one thing or another. He had just found out what had happened and he felt almost dead inside, the first person who actually cared about him was dead. He never spoke to many people about it, but anyone who really knew Naruto, knew that the Hokage was like a grandfather to Naruto.

On the day of the funeral it was set up in front of the Hokage's tower, many people slowly passed by. Every one carried with them a black rose before they sat it down on the growing stack of roses set down the people before them. It lasted most of the day and never once stopped raining till night fall; most ninja said the sky was crying the tears they were not allowed to show.

Up in the Hokage's tower a meeting was taking place on who the next Hokage would be, most people were choosing between Jiraiya and Tsunade. Danzo had his name come up but he said he would not take it unless there was no other chose. Not long later they decide that Jiraiya spy network was worth too much to just give up without a way to keep it going. So that meant that is was Tsunade going to be the next Hokage. Then not longer they decided to send Jiraiya to go and bring her back, it was not long later that everyone left the council room and went the own ways, while a ninja had been sent to Jiraiya but his new mission.

Naruto through all of this was staying home, he had gone to the funeral very before it had started and dropped of his flowers. He then went back to his apartment and slowly started to work on a seal. He wanted a way to replenish he charka, after he summoned something powerful, fast or else he would most likely faint like last time. As it came around to dinner time he heard a knock at the door, getting up from where he was sitting at his desk he went over and carefully opened to door. Outside he saw an odd looking old man, he had on grayish shirt and pants with a red vest, his hair was white and reacted down to the middle of his back, and instead of a normal headband he had one with a Kanji for Oil on it.

"What do you want?" Naruto asked

"Well young one I am looking for a kid named Naruto since I want to bring him on a mission." The old man answered looking at Naruto.

"And who are you and why should I go on a mission with you?"

"Well I am Jiraiya the Great Toad Saga, as for why I am here is it because I need you to help me get Tsunade and bring her to this village, to become the next Hokage."

"No." Naruto said before closing the door to his apartment and going back to work on the seal.

Jiraiya just stared at the closed door in shock; he never would have thought a genin would say no to him. Sighing he knew he would have to give Naruto something or else he would not be able to get the help he needed. Opening the door he entered into the apartment and saw Naruto sitting a large wooden desk working on something. "What are you working on," asked Jiraiya?

"Did I say you could come in?" Naruto said turning and glaring at the Toad Saga.

"No but I am not one to give up that fast, so what are you working on?" he asked again.

Naruto signing turned back to the seals he was working on, "I am trying to make a good seal that can store half if not more of the charka my body can hold. So when I end my more powerful summons I don't faint because I am running to low on charka."

"You have summons kid?"

"Yes and my powerful ones require I keep using charka to keep them out which means I can start running very low on charka if I am in a long battle."

"I find this hard to believe that old man Hokage said you have enough charka to outlast even him, though he also said your control could use some work."

"Yeah I know not let me be so I can work on the seal then I will work on my control."

"There is no seal that has been able to do that; I should know I am a seal master. But I can help you find things that will work the same way if you wish." Jiraiya said trying to think of a way to have Naruto want to come with him.

Naruto looked up from the papers he was working with, "If what you say is true, then what, can I use to hold charka?"

"There are some crystals and types of tree that can hold charka a lot once prepared correctly." Jiraiya answer pulling out what looked like to be a red ruby that was a little smaller then his fist. "This is a Charka gem once it has been forged correctly will hold up to a Kage level of charka."

Naruto looked at the gem carefully in Jiraiya hand; over all it looked like any other ruby expect it had a seal on one side with a kanji for Charka on it. "I see in that case I guess I will help you if you help me get or make 2 of these stones." Naruto said thinking about what he could do with the stones.

"2, do you have any idea what these cost!" Jiraiya spurted out looking at the Genin in shock.

"Yes two and that is the only way I will go." Naruto said before he got up and went for the door to start training on getting his charka control even better. He had some idea and he had got a book from the Ninja library so he would be able to get it as high as he wanted.

"Hay wait I cannot get you two of them but I can get you one and teach you another justu." Jiraiya said going after Naruto still trying to get him to come with him.

"What is the justu," asked Naruto with some interest slowing down and looking at Jiraiya, "and I had better be good or else it is still a no."

"It is one of the 4th Hokage's justu." Jiraiya said smiling thinking he had got Naruto.

"No," Naruto said as he picked up speed to his normal walking speed, "I would rather not have another reason for the village to hate me by using the 4th Hokage's move." Naruto on the inside was hoping he could learn them, and why he would allow to be taught even one of them.

Jiraiya was in a hard spot he could not tell Naruto who his dad was unless he was a Jonin, but he still needed to have Naruto come with him. Thinking quickly he came up with an idea that might work. "Because I am willing to take you as my apprentice and since I taught the forth I am allowed to teach it to you."

It took all of Naruto will power to not stop in middle step looking at Jiraiya, "and that make a differences because?"

"Because it might change how the village views you, by you being my student." Jiraiya said hoping to get some form of a yes out of Naruto.

Naruto smirked to himself; he was getting something good out of this if he did it right. "Fine I guess I will go and learn the justu, but you better get me a good charka gem while we are on this trip and not after. Also I want one that can hold a kages level of charka or else it is useless to me."

"Fine kid, now hurry up and get packed so we can move out." Jiraiya said giving Naruto a light glare though it was no good since Naruto was not looking at him.

Naruto turned towards Jiraiya smiling, "Okay I am already packed up." Naruto pulled out a storage scroll, with a kanji for mission written on it.

"Fine then let's get going before I think about leaving you here." Naruto nodded before making a clone that ran off to Naruto house to make sure everything was locked up tight.

As Naruto and Jiraiya left the village Naruto looked over a Jiraiya, "So what is the justu you are going to be teaching me?"

Now it was Jiraiya turn to smirked, "It is the simpler of the two justu he made, The Rasengan" Holding out his hand his charka slowly formed into in a ball floating about an inch above his palm. Walking over to a tree he slammed the ball of now swirling ball of charka into a tree. Naruto watched closely as the small maelstrom of charka ground into the tree carving a small hole into it, then Jiraiya unleashed the ball making it explode outward destroying the tree and the one 10 feet behind it with the force of the blast.

Naruto face showed onto shock as he stared at the damage that had been caused by the fist size ball of charka, "Wow"

"Now before I teach you how to use this move, I want you to tell me about these summonses you can use and why you need a charka gem." Jiraiya said not wanting to let Naruto have his entire way about this.

"Fine I guess I owe you that much since you are helping me," Naruto said before he launch off into an explanation about the Pokemon summons he could use. It was about an hour later was they traveled down the road that Naruto finished; "I have only mastered 180 of the 648 different from there are out there. Also I have summoned each of these and worked with them though for some of the bigger ones I had to head behind the Hokage's Mountain and out of sight so I could train with the bigger ones."

"I see that is a lot to take in, but through all of this you have not told me were the contract is now nor who is the boss summoning of this contract." Jiraiya said thinking over all Naruto was learning and could possible do with a contract like he had now.

"I keep the contract with me at all times, though even if someone else signed it, I doubt the boss would let them use it at all."

"Oh and what makes you so different?"

"It is because who I am." Naruto said before biting his thumb and drawing a little bit of blood, "I am not going to tell you I am going to show you." And before Jiraiya could stop him he slammed his hands down onto the group causing a summon seal to appear. Then with a burst of smoke from it caused Jiraiya to jump back as it got bigger and then stopped when it was huge. A breeze came up at that moment, moving the smoke away reviewing something Jiraiya wished he would never see again. Kyuubi the nine tailed demon fox was standing looking at him, and Jiraiya was the only one that could stop it, since it seemed the 9 tailed fox was free again.
