Chapter 39
???: DYNAMIC KICK!!!
After Itachi left and Jiraiya arrived, Might Guy, self-proclaimed Kakas.h.i.+'s rival, came flying in and kicking Jiraiya in the face, mistaking him for an enemy. I saw him coming, said and did nothing just to watch the hit. I could not stop rolling on the floor and laughing my a.s.s off. The nearby trees were leveled because I laughed so hard. After reprimanding Guy, Jiraiya and Guy took a closer look at the dead body. I didn't completely destroy it so some of the cloak was still intact. The color and patterns on it was a dead give-away.
Sage: My sides hurt Guy-senpai. HAHAHAHA!!! POW! right in the Kisser!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
Guy: I am so sorry Jiraiysama. I just saw Naruto and Sasuke on the floor and thought you were the enemy.
Jiraiya: (While rubbing his face) a.s.shole. Next time look before you leap.
Sage: Isn't it your fault for coming when the party was over?
Jiraiya: Come on, we are looking for Tsunade but there is no rush, (Sniffs his finger), besides, I needed material for my new book.
Sage: Hahaha. True, true. (Playing the fool). Do you know who these guys were Jiraiysan?
Naruto: Yeah, they were after me for some reason.
Jiraiya: They are the Akatsuki, an underground organization made up of missing and S cla.s.s ninja.
Sage: Why were they targeting Naruto?
Jiraiya: Because he is a Jinchuuriki. They were after the Kyuubi. Still though, you managed to kill one so we might get further clues into their plans.
Guy: Who killed him? He was Uchiha Itachi's partner that snuck into Konoha.
Sage: I did. Why do you ask?
Guy: When he was in Konoha I confronted him and he was really strong. To think he would die this easily, why wouldn't I ask?
Jiraiya sealed Kisames' remains in a scroll along with Samehada. I made sure that Kisame didn't hide in the sword and was truly dead. I myself took a step back and wondered, what if I could take Nagatos' eyes (Madara's eyes), for myself? The drain on Chakra, because I am not of the Uchiha clan, would cause me no issue but I will have to test it out and consult the Has.h.i.+rama. The reason I recently took an interest in the eyes is because I might be able
Sage: I told them what was going on. We can still continue but to tread carefully.
Jiraiya: After what you did to the other guy, they are the ones who should tread carefully.
Naruto: Yeah, he popped like a ballon, organ confetti everywhere. I just hope Sasuke recovers. He may be a dumba.s.s coming to attack someone with no gear and exhausted from running from Konoha to here but he is still a teammate.
Jiraiya: Don't worry, the person we are looking for is a top medical ninja. Hopefully we can track her down by the time we reach the next city.
Naruto: It would help if we know what she looked like or the types of locations she frequents.
Jiraiya: That's gonna be a problem considering she changes her appearance to avoid debt collectors. The places we are likely to see her is in casinos and gambling dens.
I already knew who to look for but I doubt they would let me in to the establishment considering I'm only 16, physically. With Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) I shouldn't have a problem. We walked for half a day and reached a city. We started walking from casino to den, even in the red light districts. We finally saw Tsunade with her a.s.sistant s.h.i.+zune walking out of a casino. Jiraiya asked them to have a chat at a nearby restaurant. Naruto, s.h.i.+zune and I sat at a different table. By the looks of it Jiraiya had dibs before I even came into this world. I decided I wanted Mei Terumi, the 5th Mizukage, but that's not going to stop me from flirting with other women though. I listened in on their conversation.
Tsunade: So why did you trouble yourself looking for me?
Jiraiya: What? I can't come looking for an old friend?
Tsuande: Not with a bunch of kids you're not.
Jiraiya: Haha, be careful one of those kids belongs to someone important and the other could end you in a blink of an eye.
Tsunade: That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. If a man like that appeared I would be …
Jiraiya immeadiately put his hands over Tsunades mouth. I grinned at him and he scowled at me. I laughed, shrugged my shoulders and let it go. Jiraiya had a clue of what I was capable of and by Tsunade finis.h.i.+ng her words she would sooner eat them. Jiraiya stopped her before she herself claims to marry that type of man. Tsunade shook Jiraiya off.
Tsunade: What the h.e.l.l are you doing?
Jiraiya: I'm just trying to save you before your mouth bites more than it can chew.
Tsuande: Whatever. Why ARE you here?
Jiraiya: Orochimaru invaded Konoha with the Sunagakure and the Otogakure.
Tsunade: (Shocked but pretending to not care). What does that have to do with me?
Jiraiya: No love for your village I see. Not even for family?
Tsunade: (With a creased brow). What are you getting at?
Jiraiya: Orochimaru used a certain forbidden Jutsu before he died and brought back some old friends. Because of a little luck those friends are walking around freely.
Tsunade: That snake b.a.s.t.a.r.d brought them back, they freed themselves and you want to reunite me with them?
Jiraiya: That's the gist of it.
By the end of the conversation it looks like they came into an agreement. Jiraiya formally introduced Naruto and I to her. Tsunade looked at Naruto then me.
Tsunade: So you were the one who killed Orochimaru?
Sage: Yes, pretty lady, I sure did. Why do you ask?
Tsunade: Let's just say I don't believe you.
Sage: Then, what do you propose I should do to prove to you otherwise?
I didn't start it this time, but as sure as the sky is blue, water is wet and fire is hot, I will finish it. I will at least give her a way out even if it is rude.
Tsunade: How about a little wager? I want you to prove your strength to me in a little 1 versus 1.
Sage: Your mouth is writing checks your a.s.s can't cash, miss. Are you sure?
I look at Jiraiya with the Rock's signature eyebrow, then back at Tsunade with the biggest smile on my face.
