Kale's POV
The Hokage's Funeral was interesting, it happened to be raining and it seemed like the whole village was there. It was a pretty somber event as expected, but after it things seemed to go mostly back to normal except for the lack of a new Hokage.
Now that I've mastered the Ten Orb Spells I'm supposed to get my next lesson from my Great-Uncle but he's off doing something, I figured he would be busy so I decided it was time to take Tenten up on her offer for lunch.
"Thanks, this stuff is great." I smiled.
"Enjoy you won the bet so you get your prize." She laughed.
The two of us just stopped at the candy store to get snacks, not really the lunch I was promised but I wasn't gonna make Tenten pay for that. I wasn't gonna lie, I was enjoying out little date.
"Hey…" she leaned over the table "What's with those two guys?"
"I don't know." I said looking at the two men "But I don't like the vibe I'm getting off them."
On our way in I had noticed Kakashi-Sensei, he told me he was waiting for Sasuke, the two of them were going off to do something. Tenten and I chatted for a bit before I noticed more of a crowd outside the shop.
"Oh those two guys finally left." She pointed out.
"I guess they did." I shrugged.
"Hey." Uncle walked in "Time to move out."
"Guess I gotta go." I said "I'll see you soon."
"Yeah, we should do this again." She smiled.
"Yeah." I nodded.
I gathered my things and started following my relative.
"So where are we headed?" I asked.
"We have to go pick someone up." He explained "She won't be easy to find though…in fact we're not the only team looking."
"Who else is?" I asked.
"Not important." He said "We'll be working on your skills as we go, you gotten a hang of the ten basic moves now it's time for you to spread out."
He handed me a leather bound book "Study that, you need to learn the techniques inside it."
Later
"Alright let's see it?" Uncle said leaning on his staff.
I focused my chakra and pushed my hands "Crypt Swarm!"
A wave of ghost like energy flew out.
"Good, another spell down." Uncle nodded "You getting better and better at Arcane Jutsu. Now we're going to work on summoning."
Uncle and I had been on our little journey for the better part of a week, we were searching for some woman named Tsunade. I had already picked up on a few new moves.
The Arcane Jutsu is so useful.
"Now Summoning is simple, you've got a rough understand of it with the Forge Spirits but you have to look to someone more demons from the fire circles."
"Huh?"
"It's more simple than it sounds." Uncle said taking a scroll out "Sign a contract with the demons and then they come when you call them."
"I'm not gonna like have to sell my soul or something am I?" I asked.
"Of course not." He sighed "Just press here."
I did what he said and left a hand print and signed in blood.
"All done, we'll work on actually calling out something big now."
Suddenly a frog jumped out and stopped in front of us.
"For you." It said pulling out a letter.
"That frog talked." I sighed.
What else is new?
"It's one of Jiraiya's." Uncle explained reading the letter "Change of plans we have to make a stop."
"How come."
"Remember that other team I mentioned, seems he and your friend Naruto found Tsunade not too far from here." He said grabbing his staff "Come on let's go."
Later
"I'd say that's a good place to meet them." Uncle said as a nearby temple collapsed "When in doubt follow the destruction."
"I hope no one is hurt." I said jumping after him.
"Jiraiya!" Uncle called.
"Hey Naruto!" I waved.
"What are you doing here?" he asked as I landed next to him.
"I was out training with my Great Uncle and that old guy sent us a letter, why are you here?"
"Training, looking for some old hag." He shrugged.
We followed Naruto and that old guy, Jiraiya, but hit a dead end.
"This place got smashed up." I said.
"Come on you two." Jiraiya said "We're leaving."
"In the end all you got is a bunch of useless information." Uncle told his friend.
"It was reliable this time!" Jiraiya yelled.
"Let's just go eat, come on Kale."
"Right behind you uncle!"
Later
We got back to town and the older members of the group decided we were killing two birds with one stone, eating and gathering information.
"This is a bar." I pointed out.
"Yeah, let's go get ramen or something." Naruto groaned.
"This is why I don't take on students." Uncle sighed "They whine like brats!"
"Listen places like this are good for eating and gathering info." Jiraiya explained brushing the curtain open "Hey!"
"We found her." Uncle shrugged putting his walking staff on his back.
"Jiraiya! Demnok?!"
"That's the lady we've been looking for, how the heck do you two old men know a girl that age?" I asked.
"I ehard she's like super old and just uses Jutsu to look young." Naruto said.
"I guess that makes sense." I nodded.
The woman at the table was blonde, fairly young looking, very attractive and I'm pretty sure she was drunk. She was sitting with another young woman who had black hair but was far skinnier, she also had a super cute pet pig.
We decided that we were joining the two women for dinner and sat down at their table.
We weren't really invited, I hope they don't think we're rude.
"So I…met with someone who brought up bad memories today." Tsunade said.
"Orochimaru?" Jiraiya asked "What'd he want."
Orochimaru is the guy who attacked Sasuke…
Tsunade's aid, Shizune, looked like she wanted to say something but one sharp glare shut her up.
This old lady…she's hiding something.
I looked over at Uncle who only waved his hand to dismiss me for the time.
"Nothing." Tsunade said finally answering the question "Now why are you two here?"
"The Village has issued an order." Uncle said "They need a 5th Hokage."
"They want you." Jiraiya explained.
"PFFFT!" Naruto coughed his mouthful of food all over me.
"NARUTO!" I snapped grabbing his neck "I'm gonna kill you!"
"What's all this?" Tsunade asked.
"The Third is…"
"Yeah Orochimaru said it was his work." Tsunade sighed.
"That snake guy is the one who killed the Hokage?!" Naruto yelled breaking free.
"Keep it down brat." Uncle groaned.
"I deal with this every day." I sighed.
"Who is that guy?" Naruto asked.
"I've actually been wondering the same thing myself." I added.
"He was one of the main Ninjas of the Leaf from back in our day." Jiraiya explained "The four of us worked together a lot."
"By the way, who are the two runts?" Tsunade asked.
"This is my nephew Kale." Uncle explained.
"And that's Naruto Uzumaki." Jiraiya introduced my teammate.
"How come she gets to be Hokage anyway?" Naruto asked.
"Shut up." Jiraiya growled before turning his head "So, are you gonna accept or not?"
"No"
