The fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju couldn't help but let out a worried sigh as she attempted to defeat the kages worst enemy -paperwork- while ignoring the other occupant in the room.

It had been one day since Jiraiya had come back to Konoha and word had already gotten out that Naruto hadn't come back with him.

All of the villagers -except for a few- had decided to throw parties because they believed that the 'demon' was gone for good, they still couldn't see him as the container and not the bijuu!

Everyone in the 'Konoha 12' -a group of Naruto's generation- had come barging into the fifth Hokage's office and had demanded an explanation on what had happened, none of them had believed that Naruto was dead like the villagers and Tsunade was able to assure the group that Naruto was not dead -if he was then the toads would have been the first to know- and that he was just missing.

But, even with all that had been happening there was nothing compared to what the person in front of her was trying to do, that damn war hawk! As she tried to tune Danzo's requests for Naruto to be hunted down and given to him for 'training' Tsunade couldn't help but feel her emotions getting out of control.

The gaki had run away from Jiraiya, run away from the village, run away from his home, run away from his friends and had -quite possibly- run away from his dream! Why? Why would the gaki run away? It didn't make sense!

"I'll be going now Hokage-Sama, but please remember that if he is not found within the next ten days then he will be marked as a missing nin, the council has already approved of this." Danzo had left. THOSE BLOODY GOD DAMN FUCKING STUPID IDIOTIC SONS OF A-! They hadn't pulled anything like this when their oh-so-fucking-precious last Uchiha had run away! Stupid bloody council! Sure, the clan heads were on her side but the civilian side outnumbered them... and those idiots all had an extreme hatred for the 'kyuubi reborn' as they called him. Are they idiots? Yes!

If something wasn't done soon then Naruto would be marked as a missing nin and most likely be put into the 'kill on sight' category! The damn gaki, causing so much trouble for everyone, for her...

Tears were threatening to spill from the Hokage's eyes. 'Where are you... Naruto? Can't you see that we need you? That I need you?' A couple of tears fell from Tsunade's eyes.

Knock Knock

Tsunade quickly whipped the few tears away and said

"Come in!" Shizune, Tsunade's first apprentice entered the room with a letter in her hand.

"Tsunade-Sama, there is a letter for you." Tsunade blinked, this was not the time to be getting letters, but why did Shizune bring it to her instead of putting it with all her other letters? As if being able to read the fifth Hokage's mind Shizune continue "This letter is from the leader of Amegakure, although I don't know what it says."

"The leader of Amegakure?" One of Tsunade's eyebrow's rose, what did Ame want? It was suspicious. Around two years ago Amegakure seemed to become more open to the world, forming alliances with small villages and taking on missions other then assassinations. It was a fact that Hanzo had been killed by someone that went by the name of Pein, but no one out side of Ame knew who Pein really was or even what he looked like!

The only thing notable that anyone out side of Ame knew about Amegakure was that there is a team of three ninja that were at least Jounin level. The team was known as Yūgure and they were the ones that would make the alliances, not the leader of the village. Tsunade had even considered that team Yūgure were the leaders of Amegakure... It was possible.

Shizune handed Tsunade the letter and the fifth Hokage read it.

'To Tsunade Senju, The Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

Amegakure has gained some important information concerning Orochimaru that I would like to share with you in hopes of being able to ally Amegakure with one of the five major villages. I will send out a team to give you the details, they should arrive two days after this letter. I hope that the information we give you will be useful.

Also, if it would be possible, the ninja that I'm sending are in need of some time away their usual jobs, it would be greatly appreciated if you would allow them to spend some time in Konoha.

- The Leader Of Amegakure'

It was short and not very detailed, that much was for sure. Could Tsunade trust Ame? There was a chance that it was a trap, but then why would the leader of Amegakure send ninja to Konoha instead of requesting for her to go to Ame? It didn't make sense! And Ames leader had stated that they were looking to form an alliance. The possibility of it being a trap was getting lower and lower but there was another factor to it all, information on Orochimaru. Any and all information on the snake Sannin was valuable and hard to come by... Well, Tsunade would have to take the chances!

"Shizune!"

"H-hai?"

"Prepare for some Ame ninja to arrive in two days! Make sure that no one attacks them!"

"Hai, Hokage-Sama!"

At One Of Konohas Hospitals

There was a man completely covered in bandages sitting up on the bed in his private room. Jiraiya of the Sannin had been through something worse then hell yesterday and when he had been put in the hospital he couldn't help but start thinking about his -run away- student. Why had the gaki left? Why didn't he want to use the Kyuubi's power? Jiraiya had a hunch that it wasn't just the fact that he had wanted to get stronger without relying on the fox's power, there was more to it then that...

But most importantly, why did he run away? 'DAMN IT! WHAT THE HELL DID I SAY TO MAKE HIM LEAVE!?' Jiraiya wasn't angry with Naruto, no matter how much he had acted like it he had never been angry with his godson, he had been angry at himself! If he had focused more on training the gaki instead of peeping on women then the gaki wouldn't have had to had learnt to use the Kyuubi's chakra, FOR THE LOVE OF KAMI! THE GAKI HAD LEARNT THE RASSENGAN IN... How long did it take him to learn it again? Well anyway! The gaki was talented and Jiraiya had been unable to see that talent, he was to focused on doing his 'research' then training his godson!

As soon as Jiraiya got out of hospital he was going to look for the gaki and when he found him the first thing he would do is apologise!

A memory of the night Naruto had run away played through Jiraiya's mind.

'You must be blind for not seeing the power you could use!' Jiraiya's eyes widened. Blind...

It couldn't be, could it?
