Chapter 18: Training in Tanzaku
(Land of Ninja: Inn Room)
Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, Lucas, and Naruto are in a room of the inn and Ky is leaning against a wall while Noel is sitting on a bed while Sora is looking out a window while Donald and Goofy are sleeping while Elena is reading a book while Ken is playing his guitar while Tails is making adjustments to his techno map while Blaze is controlling her flames while Shadow is just standing with his arms crossed while Storm, Grace, and Lucky are sleeping next to Ky and Noel while Kiyo is laying on a bed and Zatch is sleeping on Kiyo while T.J. is training his knife while Zuko is bending his fire with control while Sly is reading his Thevious Racoonus while Bentley is doing calculations while Murray is easting potato chips while Lucas is practicing with his psi while Naruto is sleeping with his many shadow clones.
While the group are resting in the room until there is a knock on the door getting everyone's attention.
"Who's that?" Sora asked.
"That's probably Pervy Sage! 'Bout time! Now we can start with my training." Naruto said.
Ky goes for the door to open it but just then he feels a grab but his throat.
"Ugh!" Ky said as he's being grabbed.
"Ky!" Naruto yelled.
"Let him go!" Elena yelled.
"No way!" A voice said and it's the pink creature. "I'm gonna mess you up good! Zavok gave me permission to crush you!" The pink creature said.
"You mean he gave US permission to crush him, Zazz?" Another voice said and it's the green female creature.
"Whatever! I've been itchin' to fight someone all day!" The pink creature named Zazz said.
"I think you're itching because you stink and you need a bath." Sly said and Zazz smells himself.
"Are you disrespecting me?!" Zazz demanded.
"Maybe." Sly answered.
"If you want to fight so bad, then fine! You'll have to fight all of us!" T.J. said.
"That's what I like to hear. We'll destroy every single fool." The female green creature said.
"Not all. You agreed to allow us to leave Naruto to us." Someone said.
Everyone sees a person coming in and it's a young man with black hair with two bangs on both shoulders, having red eyes with black markings, wearing a black cloak with red clouds on the black cloak, and a headband that has the Leaf symbol but it's crossed.
"Yeah! Did you forget our little deal? It's not fair to hog all the fun." Another voice said.
Coming in is another man but has blue skin and appears to be a shark due to having gills on his face and razor sharp teeth, dark blue hair, wearing the same black cloak with red clouds on the cloak like the young man, and a headband that has what looks like a mist symbol but is also crossed.
"The hell?! Who're they?!" Ken asked.
"Are they with…Organization XIII?" Goofy asked.
"I dunno. Those cloaks are different, and I think they belong in this world." Tails said.
"Now, Naruto, you're coming with us." The young man said.
"Just who is this one? He looks almost like Sasuke…" Ky said.
"He does, but that's not him, but he has the same Sharingan!" Naruto said.
"What do you two want with Naruto?!" Sora demanded.
"It's hard to believe that this brat is holding the Nine-Tailed Fox." The second man said.
"Naruto…holding…the Nine-Tailed Fox…?" Ky asked.
"What're you talkin' about?" Donald asked.
"Don't think you can run away on us, kid. I'll chop off your legs just in case." The blue man said.
"Do it!" Zazz said.
"Are you outta your minds?!" Zatch asked.
"Don't think you can just have Naruto because you want him! Back off!" Ky yelled pointing Dawn of Hope.
"Don't interfere. You'll regret it." The young man said.
"What?!" Zuko demanded.
"They're not your problem." The female green creature said.
"Yeah! Don't forget, we're your opponents!" Zazz said.
"Whatever! We'll deal with the four of you!" Murray said.
"I don't think so. Zomnom!" The female green creature called.
The obese yellow creature named Zomnom comes crashing into the inn and charges at Ky and sends him outside.
"Ky!" Noel said.
"Oh, no!" Sora said.
"Damn you!" Elena yelled.
"Guys! Go to Ky and help him! I'll handle the two weirdoes!" Naruto said.
"You'd better not die on us." Shadow said.
The group leave the inn to follow Ky and Zomnom.
"C'mon, Zeena! I wanna get on with the fun!" Zazz said.
"Just don't get reckless, like you always do." The female green creature named Zeena said and the two leave the inn.
"Well, well, looks like they'll have their fun. Hey, Itachi, let me handle this kid." The shark man said as he takes out a bandaged blade.
"Don't be reckless, Kisame." The young man named Itachi said.
(Land of Ninja: Inn Grounds)
Ky recovers after being charged by Zomnom.
"That all you got, fatass?! Lemme show you what happens when you do crap like that!" Ky said.
"I hope you taste like chicken!" Zomnom said.
Just then the others come and go for Ky.
"Guys!" Ky said.
"We gotcha covered, Ky!" Sora said.
"Let's kick this fat asshole's ass!" Ken said.
"You will regret ever crossing our path." Blaze said.
Just then Zazz and Zenna come to join Zomnom.
"You forgot you're dealing with US now!" Zazz said.
"When this is over, I think I'll have to repolish my nails and get a shower." Zeena said.
"Bring it, ya creeps!" Max said.

"UGH! You're not bad!" Zazz said.
"You almost messed up my hair!" Zeena said.
"Give up yet?" Sora asked.
"Please say yes…" Noel said.
"Now this where we get WILD!" Zazz yelled.
Meanwhile back at the inn Naruto is surviving Kisame's attacks.
"Okay, kid! Fun time's over! Now, I'm REALLY gonna chop your legs off! I'll do the same for your arms to make sure." Kisame said.
(Land of Ninja: Village Gates)
At the gates of the Hidden Leaf Village two Leaf ninjas are talking.
"Hey, you missed the excitement! Itachi Uchiha was spotted around the village." One of the Leaf ninjas said.
"What?! No way!" The other Leaf ninja said.
"I heard he's going after that Naruto Uzumaki kid." The first Leaf ninja said.
"Why was that low-life doing back showing his face again?!" The second Leaf ninja asked.
"To look for that Naruto kid. Didn't you hear? Anyway, this is a secret among upper-ranked ninja. Don't tell anyone. Not even Sasuke." The first Leaf ninja said.
"Right." The second Leaf ninja said.
Unknowing to them Sasuke was listening to the conversation.
"So, HE'S back at the village! Now he's after Naruto! Why?" Sasuke asked. "If he gets Naruto, he's dead! This can't happen! I saw Naruto go off with Ky and his gang and that old man, but where are they going? I have to know where they are!" Sasuke said as he makes his way out of the village gates.
Back at the inn grounds Ky, Noel, Sora, and their friends are still dealing with Zazz, Zeena, and Zomnom and the three Zetis are being pushed back.
"ARGH! How're you beating US?!" Zazz demanded.
"Because we kick evil's asses, that's why!" Ken said.
"You've no chance of winning." Shadow said.
"Oh, really?! We'll see about that!" Zeena said.
"That's enough you three!" A voice yelled.
Everyone sees Zavok jumping from trees and confronts the group and his three comrades.
"This fight is over." Zavok said.
"But, Boss! You asked us to…" Zazz was cut off.
"What I asked was for you three imbeciles to test their power! I told you no killing yet! It seems now we have than a reason to end you." Zavok said.
"Then what're waiting for?!" Zuko asked.
"You wanna kill us? Do it!" Elena said.
"Not today. We still have another tactic to plan out, but we will meet again. I promise you." Zavok said as he leaves.
"Nex time we meet, YOU'RE ALL GOIN' HOME IN BOXES!" Zazz shouted as he leaves.
"Now I have to get my hair fixed! You're dead next time!" Zeena said as she leaves.
"I need to eat something to get my strength up." Zomnom said as he leaves.
"Those idiots were wasting our time!" Donald said.
"Now we have to go back to Naruto! I hope he's okay." Ky said.
"C'mon! Back to the inn!" Max said and the group go back into the inn.
Back in the inn Naruto is still dealing with Kisame who delivers an attack with his bandaged blade but then someone counters and it's Ky who blocks the attack with his Keyblade.
"Back off!" Ky yelled.
"Ky! You're okay!" Naruto said.
"So, those three weren't enough of a match for you, hm?" Kisame said.
"Why are you after Naruto?! What do you want?" Noel asked.
"Naruto is the prize for the Akatsuki. We must have him." Itachi said.
"You're not getting Naruto!" A voice yelled and someone comes in and it's Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya!" Ky said.
"I knew you wanted Naruto! You can't have him!" Jiraiya said.
"That's where you're wrong." Itachi said.
"Hey, this is kinda convenient! Now we can destroy you two at the same time!" Jiraiya said.
"Stay out of this!" A voice yelled.
"What?" Sora asked.
"So, you've come. It's been a long time, Sasuke." Itachi said.
"Sasuke?" Kiyo asked.
The group see that Sasuke has arrived at the inn and his eyes are red with black markings.
"He knows Sasuke…?" Ky asked.
"Ah, the Sharingan. He even looks a lot like you, Itachi. Who is this kid?" Kisame asked.
"Sasuke is my younger brother." Itachi said.
"WHAT?!" The group asked shocked.
"Sasuke…had a brother?" Tails asked.
"He never said anything about that!" Max said.
"Then again, he never says anything to us." Elena said.
"That's strange. I thought YOU were the one who killed every single member of the Uchiha Clan." Kisame said.
"He did WHAT?!" Noel asked shocked.
"He…KILLED the whole clan that Sasuke was a part of?!" Ky asked.
"It's just as you've said, brother! I've fostered my hatred for you all this time! I lived my life for a single purpose. To see you DIE!" Sasuke said.
"You're not my priority for this moment." Itachi said.
"SHUT UP!" Sasuke shouted as he lights his left hand with lightning. "CHIDORI!" Sasuke shouted as he charges at Itachi with his lightning coated hand.
Before Sasuke could touch Itachi he grabs Sasuke's hand and then breaks it.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" Sasuke screamed.
Itachi then presses Sasuke against a wall.
"You still don't have enough hatred to beat me. You never will." Itachi said.
"Sasuke!" Ky said as he runs to help but Kisame blocks the way.
"Uh-uh, kid! Don't interfere!" Kisame said.
"Move it!" Ky yelled.
"DYNAMIC ENTRY!" A voice shouted and someone comes charging into the room and kicks at Kisame.
"Argh!" Kisame said as he's being pushed back by the flying kick.
"What?" Bentley asked.
The person who delivered the flying kick was Might Gai.
"Take THAT!" Gai said.
"Gai?!" Ky asked.
"Oh, great. Him again." Shadow said.
"Kisame, let's go." Itachi said as he disappears.
"We'll come for you next time, kid." Kisame said as he also disappears.
"That was close…" Lucas said.
"Sasuke!" Naruto said going for Sasuke who is now unconscious.
"Is he okay?" Zatch asked.
"I don't think so. Knowing Itachi, he did something severe on him. We have to take him to the medical corps." Jiraiya said.
"Our village needs a master of healing arts and soon!" Gai said.
"That's what we're doing. " Jiraiya said.
"Right. We have to find that woman Tsunade." Ky said.
"She can also help Sasuke!" Naruto said.
"If that's your mission, then Lord Jiraiya, please find her, and bring her back to us." Gai said.
"We'll find her." Sora said.
"Oh, Naruto! Your guts never cease to amaze me!" Gai said and he turns to see Ky. "Ah, the youthful boy has returned! You've done well to protect everyone here!" Gai said.
"Thanks, Gai." Ky said.
"What does he mean by 'youthful'?" Donald asked.
"Ask that, and you're done." Elena said.
"And it also pleases me to see more gutsy people! Well done!" Gai said.
"Um, thanks…?" Sora said.
"It was nothing…" Noel said.
The group return outside.
"Okay. Gai has taken Sasuke back to the village. Now we have to distance ourselves and this place." Jiraiya said.
"Jiraiya, what did those two guys in the cloaks want with Naruto?" Ky asked.
"Yeah. Why were they after me?" Naruto asked.
"It's not you that they want. It's what's inside you." Jiraiya said.
"That Nine-Tailed Fox?" Naruto asked.
"What is that?" Murray asked.
"Yeah, you never said anything about it." Ky said.
"Oh, yeah. The Nine-Tailed Fox is a horrible demon that attacked the Leaf Village years ago, and the Fourth Hokage gave his life to protect the village from it. Now, it's inside me." Naruto explained.
"It was inside you in ordered for everyone to be saved." Jiraiya said.
"And when I told you that I was alone to begin with? That's why. Everyone hated me for it, and they thought I'm the demon itself." Naruto said.
"Oh, my…" Noel said.
"Wow." Sora said.
"I'm sorry, Naruto." Ky said.
"Now he's a target for the Akatsuki." Jiraiya said.
"And the Akatsuki are…?" Zuko asked.
"They're a group of rouge ninjas." Jiraiya said.
"But why do they want with that demon fox thing in Naruto?" T.J. asked.
"I can't say. I guess they want to control that power." Jiraiya said.
"I hope we don't run into them again." Goofy said.
"Forget them! We have to find Tsunade." Ky said.
"Then we can do that training you promised!" Naruto said.
"Alright. We're almost to Tanzaku Town. Let's go." Jiraiya said.
The group start to make their way through the inn grounds and they go through the woods area and later on they arrive at a grass field and arrive at a different place.
(Land of Ninja: Tanzaku Town Entrance)
The group arrive at a road and they go through the road and they later find a town up ahead and hurry for the next area.
(Land of Ninja: Tanzaku Town)
The group arrive at a town and they look around.
"This is it. Tanzaku Town. This means it's time for you, Naruto, to learn your new jutsu." Jiraiya said.
"When?! Let's start!" Naruto said.
"Not yet. I want to ask this town for Tsunade. There's a festival going on, and I think she's out here somewhere." Jiraiya said.
"But there are too many people here." Lucas said.
"How can we find Tsunade?" Donald asked.
"Don't worry. She'll be found. You guys can do what you want here. Come find me later." Jiraiya said as he leaves.
"This sucks! He promised me to teach me a new jutsu!" Naruto said.
"Yes he did, but don't forget that finding this Tsunade is also important." Elena said.
"It's beneficial for the Leaf Village." Ky said.
"You're right. I know." Naruto said.
"Let's take a nice look around here. Maybe we'll find out if Riku or the King could be here." Sora said.
"Maybe even Nex, Griff, Oswald, Fulgur, Princess Peach, Mario, and Sonic." Noel said.
"Let's go." Sly said.
The group start exploring around Tanzaku Town for anything until later on in town they find three people which are Kiba, Shino, and Hinata.
"Kiba?! Hinata?! Shino?!" Ky asked.
"Hey, hey! It's Ky! Nice to see ya again! It's been forever since last time we saw ya!" Kiba said.
"Oh, hello, Ky. It's nice to see you again." Hinata said.
"Quite a surprise." Shino said.
"I'll say." Elena said.
"You're far off from the Leaf." Blaze said.
"Yeah, we know." Kiba said.
"By the way, who are these newcomers?" Shino asked.
"Oh, yeah. They're Noel, Ken, Grace, Zuko, Lucas, Sora, Donald, and Goofy. They're with us." Ky introduced Noel, Sora, and their friends.
"Hiya!" Sora said.
"Hello." Noel said.
"Great to see ya." Kiba said.
"It's nice to meet you all." Hinata said.
"Huh? What're you three doin' out here?" Naruto asked.
"N-Naruto…" Hinata said blushing.
"What's her problem?" Donald asked.
"Will you be quiet?! For your information, Noel was shy and so is Lucas!" Zuko yelled.
"I was askin'!" Donald said.
"I'd like to ask you the same question. You're far off from home." Kiba said.
"I'm on a mission!" Naruto said.
"We're helping Naruto with that mission." Elena said.
"Well, whaddya know? We're on a mission too." Kiba said.
"Really?" Zatch asked.
"Well, at least OUR mission's gonna involve helpin' the village!" Naruto said.
"Hey, so's ours! We're supposed to get a LOT of things for the village." Kiba said.
"What? You sayin' that your mission is better than mine?!" Naruto asked.
"N-No…Naruto. That's not it…at all…" Hinata said.
"Well, since we're stronger than YOU, we get the good missions, so yeah!" Kiba said.
"Don't start this, Kiba…" Shino warned.
"Strong my ass! I CREAMED you at the Chunin exams!" Naruto yelled.
"Yeah, right! That was a close fight!" Kiba said.
"Not how I remember it!" Naruto replied.
"Whatever! You may have won that fight, but you're still too slow." Kiba said.
"What?! I am SO fast!" Naruto yelled.
"Knock it off! Both of you!" Ky said.
"Oh, right. You don't like seeing friends fighting." Naruto said.
"Sorry, 'bout that, Ky." Kiba said.
"Whew. That's much better." Noel said.
"That was less intense than when Elena and Ino…" Sora was cut off by Elena casting Thunder on him. "Ow…" Sora said.
"Anyway, back on topic. What things did you need to get for the village?" Bentley asked.
"The village was expecting a shipment of supplies for rebuilding after its last attack. It was supposed to this way, but it never came." Shino explained.
"We were gonna wait for backup, but hey, if you're willing to help, we can get started." Kiba said.
"Heh. With people like US , there's no need for waiting!" Naruto said.
"N-Naruto's gonna help us…?" Hinata asked blushing.
"Okay. Lead the way to the building supplies." Ky said.
"Gotcha! C'mon!" Kiba said.
The group and Team Kurenai return to the town entrance and they begin to find the building supplies and they go through the woods area and later arrive at a different area.
(Land of Ninja: Temple Ruins)
The group and Team Kurenai arrive at what looks like a ruined temple.
"Okay. The supplies should be around here. I think it's that way." Kiba said pointing.
"No way! That path is WAY shorter!" Naruto said pointing the other way.
"Don't you DARE start this! I'LL be the one to finish this!" Elena said taking out her staff and begins patting it ready to whacks someone with it making Naruto and Kiba sweat drop.
"We don't have time for fighting amongst ourselves. We need to find the building supplies." Noel said.
"I agree. They should be somewhere." Hinata said.
"Let's go check." Sora said.
The group and Team Kurenai begin to explore around the temple ruins and while they keep going to search supplies they run into something and it's a wagon full of supplies.
"Is that it?" Goofy asked.
"Yeah! Those are the supplies." Kiba said.
"Now we have to…" Shino was cut off as two Leaf ninja arrive.
"Kiba, Hinata, Shino, we told you three to wait for us. We found you, because of the noise Kiba made." One of the Leaf ninja said.
"Oh, sorry, guys. We ran into Naruto and Ky. We figured why wait since they're here." Kiba said.
"You could have at least told them to wait with you." The other Leaf ninja said.
"Well, anyway, you three better go back to town. We'll make sure the supplies get to the village on time." The first Leaf ninja said as they leave with the shipment.
"Well, I guess that's that. Thanks, guys." Kiba said.
"Yes. We owe you for helping us." Hinata said.
"I hope we meet again soon." Shino said as the three leave.
"We should head back to Tanzaku Town." Tails said.
"Yeah. Jiraiya could be waiting for us." Noel said.
The group later return to Tanzaku Town and they find Jiraiya.
"Hey, Pervy Sage! What's this new jutsu? Last time, all you did was teach me how to walk on water. Will we be walking on fire now? Or maybe walking on air? Tell me!" Naruto said.
"Well…" Jiraiya stops talking as two ninja bandits appear.
"Hey, you! Get outta here or you'll get hurt!" One of the ninja bandits said.
"Sorry, but we don't take orders from second-rate lowlives." Jiraiya said.
"What?! You'll pay for talking to us that way! We'll make you tremble in fear, old man!" The other ninja bandit said.
"Try me." Jiraiya said.
The ninja bandits charge at Jiraiya who creates what looks like a light blue ball in his right hand and presses it on one of the bandits launching him to the other.
"Whoa!" Sora said.
"What was that?" Ky asked.
"A jutsu. And I was holding back too. Those guys aren't worth the trouble." Jiraiya said.
"Just what jutsu was THAT, Pervy Sage?" Naruto asked.
"It's just as I promised to teach you. This is the super A-rank jutsu I told you. Now, before we start, you need to find some water balloons." Jiraiya said.
"Water balloons?!" Donald asked.
"Are you serious?!" Ken asked.
"Hey, it's beneficial for Naruto's training." Jiraiya said. "Now, I'll be outside of the town. Have Naruto meet me once he's got the water balloons." Jiraiya said as he leaves.
"Just great! Where're we gonna find water balloons?" T.J. asked.
"Let's search the town." Ky said.
The group search the town for water balloons and they later come across a stand where a guy is filling balloons with water and so the group approach the stand and ask the stand owner for water balloons and later on they obtain water balloons.
The group then go back to the town entrance and meet Jiraiya.
"There you are. Let's get started, Naruto." Jiraiya said.
"Yeah!" Naruto said.
"Now, you watched my jutsu earlier. What did you see?" Jiraiya asked.
"That guys was spinning like a pinwheel when you hit him." Naruto said.
"Here. Watch closely." Jiraiya said as he takes a water balloon and then it explodes in water.
"Wow!" Naruto said.
"This is the first step; rotation." Jiraiya said.
"Oh, I get it! You're using your chakra to rotate the water in the balloon, and then it popped." Naruto said.
"Hey, you're catching on!" Jiraiya said.
"Lemme try!" Naruto said as he takes a water balloon and attempts to do the rotation.
"Okay. I'll leave you here to work on this. I'm going back to town to find Tsunade." Jiraiya said.
"Wait! I almost got it!" Naruto said.
"I think you're underestimating how difficult the jutsu is. Just work on it for a while, and meet me back at the town. Remember, we're looking for Tsunade." Jiraiya said.
"I know, I know! I'll help you." Naruto said.
"I know." Jiraiya said as he leaves.
"You'll get it, Naruto. I know you will." Ky said.
"Thanks, Ky." Naruto said.
"We'll watch you." Sora said.
The group watch Naruto work on the rotation step with the water balloon and keeps trying to get this but no pop making him frustrated but later on Naruto's next attempt finally pops the water balloon.
"I did it!" Naruto said.
"Nice work." Elena said.
"Go tell Jiraiya of your success." Blaze said.
"Yeah!" Naruto said.
The group make their way back to Tanzaku Town to find Jiraiya and later on the group find Jiraiya.
"Oh, you're back. Did you manage it?" Jiraiya asked.
"You bet! I pop balloons now!" Naruto said.
"Good, good. Now, we'll start with the second phase by morning. Only this time, you need rubber balls." Jiraiya said.
"Rubber ball? Seriously?" Naruto asked.
"Nope. Good night!" Jiraiya said as he leaves.
"Just dandy." Ken said.
"Where are we gonna find rubber balls?" Kiyo asked.
The group search the town for rubber balls and they find a stand where they find an owner selling rubber balls and so Naruto buys some rubber balls.
"Now, let's get on to the hotel." Ky said and the group nod and make their way for the hotel they're staying at for rest.
Later on it's now morning and the group go through the town and find Jiraiya outside of town.
"Okay, Naruto. Now it's time to work on the second phase, which is force." Jiraiya said as he takes a rubber ball and later on it pops. "Unlike the water balloon, the ball's solid with no water, so it's more difficult to pop." Jiraiya said.
"Just how many steps are there for this jutsu?" Naruto asked.
"Three, but focus on the second right now. Now, there are now hand seals required. Only using chakra. With little effort, even a slow-witted learner can do it." Jiraiya said.
"Hey, don't call me slow-witted! I'll master this in no time!" Naruto said.
"Oh, really? This jutsu was developed by the Fourth Hokage himself. It only took him three years to do this." Jiraiya said.
"Three years?" Naruto asked.
"If you'll excuse me, I have more research to do." Jiraiya said.
"And by 'research', you mean…" Elena was cut off.
"I'll be in town if you need me. Later." Jiraiya said as he leaves.
"I don't have three years for this! I have to surpass the Fourth Hokage!" Naruto said.
Naruto takes out a rubber ball and focuses on force but some attempts he's not getting but Naruto keeps going and keeps trying to get the force training and later on he manages to pop the rubber ball.
"Nice going." Ky said.
"You're learning fast." Noel said.
Just then Jiraiya returns.
"Hey, shrimp! Looks like you're making good progress." Jiraiya said.
"I did it, Pervy Sage! What's next?" Naruto asked.
"Well, given from your attempts, you must be exhausted. Get some sleep first. Before you go, I need you to do something for me." Jiraiya said.
"Lemme guess, bowling balls?" Naruto asked.
"No. Just stuffed animals." Jiraiya said.
"Stuffed animals?" Sora asked.
"What does he need that for?" Ky asked.
"This is just weird." Naruto said.
"Trust me, it'll be all worth it." Jiraiya said.
The group go back to town and search for stuffed animals and later on they find a shop full of stuffed animals and so Naruto buys the stuffed animals and the group find Jiraiya.
"Nice work!" Jiraiya said.
"What're we doing with these anyway? They gonna be harder to explode than rubber balls?" Naruto asked.
"No. I never said you needed them for training. I need them for tonight." Jiraiya said.
"Don't tell me…" Shadow stops talking.
"These stuffed animals will make great gifts! Here I come, ladies!" Jiraiya said making Ky, Sora, Donald, T.J., Max, Ken, Zatch, Murray, and Naruto faint in a comic manner.
"You have GOT to be kidding!" Elena yelled.
"Go get some sleep, kids! See you tomorrow!" Jiraiya said as he leaves.
The group return to the hotel and they gets some rest again.
It's now morning and the group go back to outside the town and find Jiraiya who has some ice pops and gives some to Naruto and the group.
"Thanks." Ky said.
"Why give us these?" Sora asked.
"For helping me and Naruto." Jiraiya answered.
"Thank you." Noel said.
"Hey, Pervy Sage, what's the third and last step?" Naruto asked.
"Well, the first step was rotation, the second was power. Now the third step is combing them both." Jiraiya said as he creates the same light blue ball in his hand and charges it at a tree destroying it.
"Okay. I got this!" Naruto said.
Naruto starts doing rotation and then uses power and then creates the same light blue ball like Jiraiya and charges it at a tree but there was no dent.
"I can do both parts, but doing them at the same time is gonna be a bit harder." Naruto said.
"I'm going back to town." Jiraiya said as he leaves.
Naruto begins to create the light blue ball and charges it at some of the trees and destroys some of them.
"Wow, Naruto. You're getting it." Max said.
Behind the group is a woman with blond hair tied to two ponytails, wearing a sleeveless top, and green pants, and has a small diamond on her forehead.
"Hm? That jutsu…" The woman said. "You! The kid with the spiky hair!" The woman called.
"Huh?" Sora asked.
"Not you! I'm talking about the other one!" The woman said.
"Who? Me?" Naruto asked.
"Yes you. Who taught you the Rasengan?" The woman asked.
"Rasengan?" Ky asked.
"Is that the name of the jutsu Jiraiya is teaching Naruto?" Goofy asked.
"You know Jiraiya?!" The woman asked.
"It may seems so." Someone said and it's Jiraiya.
"I should have guessed. You're the only one alive who knows that jutsu. Why are you teaching it to a kid? He can't master it." The woman said.
"Hey! He's learning, bitch!" Ken yelled.
"Yeah! Don't call me a kid!" Naruto yelled.
"Tsunade, we have important things to do right now." Jiraiya said.
"Huh? Did you just call her 'Tsunade'?!" Sly asked.
"Like the woman we're searching for?" Zatch asked.
"You must be the healer we need!" Naruto said.
"Healer? What do you want with a healer?" The woman named Tsunade asked.
"Orochimaru attacked the Leaf Village. He, along with a boy, who has darkness in his heart killed Sarutobi-sensei." Jiraiya said.
"Sarutobi?! So that IS Hiruzen?! He's really killed?!" Ky asked.
"No way…" Elena said.
"Our sensei?! The Third Hokage…? Dead…?" Tsunade asked.
"You had your reasons for leaving. I know, but the village needs more than just a healer. It needs a new Hokage." Jiraiya said.
"What?! You're saying SHE'S gonna be the new Hokage?! I thought she was just gonna heal the injured and Sasuke!" Naruto said.
"Naruto, be quiet! When Tsunade becomes Hokage, she will return to the Leaf and heal your friend. Tsunade, not only are you a healer, but you're also very strong. You helped us get through the Great Ninja War. Please accept." Jiraiya said.
"I…after everything… No. I will NOT accept." Tsunade said as she leaves.
"What?! Are you kidding?" Donald asked.
"I have a bad feeling. We have to find Tsunade again." Jiraiya said.
"I don't think she's in the mood to talk anymore." Zuko said.
"Especially how she left." Sora said.
"No matter what, the village needs a new Hokage. Tsunade is the perfect choice." Jiraiya said.
"Okay then. Let's go find her." Ky said.
Meanwhile somewhere in the forest Masked Man is talking to someone and it's a young man with white hair tied to a ponytail, wearing a white top with a purple vest, purple pants, glasses, and a headband that a music note symbol and the Deadly Six are with them.
"How do you assume that this Tsunade will comply?" Masked Man asked.
"It doesn't matter how she will comply. What matters is that we'll force her to heal my master's arms." The young man said.
"Be on guard if you do. There are three people carrying Keyblades, and also have allies. They are not to be messed with." Masked Man said.
"I'm aware." The young man said.
"Pardon my intrusion, but did you just say there are three people holding Keyblades?" A voice asked.
"Yes." Masked Man answered.
"How interesting! Just like the Lord of Light, Fortitudo and the Keyblade Paragon of Light I have heard about during his time here. Also, that dark boy with such an invigorating darkness in his heart when he assisted me in killing Sarutobi-sensei. I look forward to meeting these current Keybearers! I do hope they have some skill. Hmhmhmhmhmhmhmhm…hahahahahahahahahaha!" The voice said.
"You'd be surprised." Zavok said.
"Now, find Tsunade." The blue creature said and they move.
