A/N: Naruto and Hinata are now with the rapping Killer Bee. It's gonna be a pain doing all though rhymes though. Still, enjoy and review! By the way, I won't be updating this fic until I reach the Chunin Exams in the Rain and Sound fics, so please be patient. Also I recently learned Menma is the name of a ingredient used in ramen. Just something interesting to mention.

Chapter 3: The Pervert and the Raikage

"Yo, we are here/And you didn't disappear." Bee rapped as he, Naruto, and Hinata entered the former Hidden Hot Springs. The place had tons of people going to the various inns, stands, hot springs, etc… "Let's get something to eat/It'll be my treat. Eat your fill/I'll take care of the bill."

"Alright go look for some ramen!" Naruto shouted, his mouth watering at the prospect of eating all the ramen he could. Poor Bee was unaware of the mistake he made and would learn to regret it.

Hinata continued to follow nervously, doubt filling her head. 'What am I doing? Why am I doing this? I'm following a Cloud shinobi!'Since traveling, she was plagued by the memories of that night, when the Head Shinobi sent by the Cloud kidnapped her from her own bed. And every time, she would shiver at the memory. 'But, I can't turn back now. Naruto needs this. If Bee can help him with the Nine-Tails, I need to endure.'

"And you?" Bee asked Hinata, shaking her from her thought. He wasn't oblivious to her plight. She was scared outta her mind, being so close to someone from the village that tried to take her away when she was young. He hoped Yugito would help alleviate some of her fears or at least make her feel more comfortable. "Pick your treat/Something sour or sweet."

"Oh, um, m-may I h-have some c-cinnamon rolls?" she asked.

"Alright, here we go/To eat and leave any woe!" Naruto ran out in front, anxious to get some ramen. As Bee looked at him, he found himself remembering an encounter during the Third Great Shinobi War.

"He certainly does look like him. And I'm sure no one could forget the look of the only man to ever beat the Raikage in speed. Think we should tell him?"

'Nah, though his look is a clue/We don't know if it's true.'

"Lord Hiashi, please tell us why you did not feel the need to inform us beforehand of your eldest's sudden training excursion." A Hyūga elder asked. The others nodded, wondering the same thing.

"I saw no reason too. After all, I am clan head and she is my daughter and heir," Hiashi replied his face betraying no emotion nor deceit.

"Then let us hope this training bears fruit, otherwise she will be deemed unfit to inherit your position and will be sealed and placed in the branch family while the position will goes to your youngest."

Hiashi wanted to scowl. He remembered when the Hyūga council demanded Hanabi be sealed when she was born. It took all he had to prevent that from happening to her, saying she may prove to be a better candidate than Hinata. The council chose to allow this. However, this made them observe Hinata's progress more critically. And even though Hanabi had yet to start her taijutsu training, they found they had high hopes for her. However, until the use of the Caged Bird Seal ended, one of his daughter would always be at risk. And while he did want to end it, Hiashi also wanted to protect the Byakugan's secrets, and he knew that as long as they lived in this cursed Shinobi World, doing so without the use of their curse mark was not possible.

Naruto walked up front completely satisfied, while Killer Bee dragged behind in a sour mood. "I did warn you about the joint metabolism of a jinchūriki and an Uzumaki,"Eight-Tails said. "But no, you still let him eat as much as he wanted."

'Guess that makes me the fool/Man, this is so not cool.'

"So, what now Octopops?" Naruto asked.

Bee didn't seem bothered by the nickname Naruto gave him. "Now we relax, then grab some dye/And then, that stuff we do apply." He lead them to the nearest hot spring and entered. The two children were about to do the same when they heard giggling.

"Hmm, what's that?" Naruto wondered. They followed the sound and leaning from behind a wall they found an older looking man scribbling in a notepad. He had spiky white hair and wore a short green kimono shirt with matching pants. Over it was a red kimono-like jacket. He was looking through a hole in the wall and giggling. Naruto could hear the sound of women on the other side and realized what the man was doing. "That pervert is peeping!" he exclaimed loudly.

Hinata's eyes widened. She was very self-conscious about her body. She just tolerated other women looking at her form. So suffice to say she did not like peepers. Of course, few women do.

Meanwhile, the man heard Naruto, and so did the women in the hot springs. He started to run away when Naruto tripped him, then ran away, Hinata in tow. The man got up, only to find himself surrounded by towel-clad women. Normally, he wouldn't mind, but they all had a murderous look on their faces. And so the beat down began.

In the end, the pervert had many bumps and bruises. 'That hurt, but at least Tsunade wasn't here, otherwise I'd be dead.' He heard laughter coming from behind the wall and went to investigate.

"Ha, serves him right!" Naruto said as he held his sides. Hinata could help but snickered as she agreed. He was violating their privacy.

"So, you brats are the ones who interrupted my research." The children turned and found the peeping tom looking at them. Now that they saw his face, they noticed he had a red line coming down each eye, a small wart on the left side of his nose, and a headband with the kanji for oil. Hinata concluded that he was a ninja, but from what village, she did not know.

"Research? All you were doing was looking naked women! You're nothing but a pervert!" Naruto shouted.

"I am not just a pervert!" the man shouted. "I'm a super pervert!" he corrected, making two peace signs.

Naruto and Hinata just facefaulted. "How on Earth is that any better?" he shouted when he got back up. "And just who the heck are you?"

The man grinned, as he was waiting for that. "I'm glad you kids ask!" he said, shaking his hair around. He back away a little and took a pose, lifting his left leg slightly and leaning on his right. His right was stretched forward while he had his left hand over his head. "I am the legend from Mt. Myoboku!" He switched sides so his right leg was up, and his hands' positions switched. "A lover of women and the envy of all men, I am the great toad sage!" He summoned a large orange toad and stand atop of it. "I am… Jiraiya!" He notices the girl's purple eyes widen in realization. 'Heh, I'm so cool.'

"Toad sage? More like Pervy Sage." Jiraiya fell off the toad's back at the boy's comment.

Hinata leaned over to Naruto and whispered. "N-Naruto, h-he's a s-shinobi f-from the Leaf. O-one of the L-legendary Sannin." Naruto looked at her confused. He didn't know who the sannin were. But he was worried when she said he was a Leaf ninja.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya was mumbling about disrespectful blonds when he finally noticed something. The boy looked a lot like his late student, Minato! Same spiky blond hair, same blue eyes. However, his facial structure was different, but still familiar. 'Could that be… No, he's safe in the village with sensei and Kakashi watching over him.' Still, it nagged him, so he asked, "Hey brat, what's your name?"

"Me?" Naruto asked, pointing at himself. "Well, first of all, I'm not a brat! And second of all, I'm Menma, Menma Uzumaki! Believe it!"

'Ah, see, what am I getting worried about. That's not Naruto, that's some other kid who happens to look a bit like Minato,' Jiraiya convinced himself, though a part of him was still suspicious about it. "Well, I'll have you two know I was doing research for my book. And now my publisher and loyal readers will have to wait longer for the next one. I hope you two are happy with yourselves."

"If this book of yours requires you to look at naked women, I doubt it's all that good," Naruto commented. A tick mark formed on the toad sage's head, but Naruto ignored it and grabbed Hinata's arm. "Anyway, we gotta go. Later Pervy Sage."

"Oi! The name's Jiraiya and you will address me as such!" But Naruto and Hinata had already left. The toad sage sighed. "Kids these days don't know how to respect their elders. Still, with that Menma kid, I can't shake the feeling… No, no he's fine." He looked to where the kids went. "I being crazy. Why would he be all the way out here? I just send sensei a message and ask about Naruto. That'll clear things up." He wrote a message and summoned a small red toad to deliver it. Then he headed inside the hot springs to relax.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Hinata waited outside the hot springs. Even though they had exposed Jiraiya earlier, Hinata still didn't feel comfortable going in, so Naruto volunteered to wait with her. She was glad, but she still protested, not wanting to keep him from relaxing. But Naruto refused to leave her alone. "Hey, since we're waiting, why don't we get started on our disguises?"
-

Meanwhile, in the men's area of the hot springs, Killer Bee sunk deeply in the water. "Ah, this is nice/Well worth the price."

"You said it." The rapping jinchūriki looked to his left and saw the toad sage enter. "All that's missing is a view," he added, looking at the wall separating the men and women.

Bee noticed some bruising. "What happen to you/Tried to sneak a view?" he rapped with a smirk.

The toad sage nodded. "Couple of kids exposed me. Some blond and his girlfriend, both about 7. Brat not only interrupted my research, but had the nerve to call me Pervy Sage."

Bee looked around and realized Naruto was not with them. 'Yo, Eight'o/Can you find Naruto?'

"Give me some time to locate Nine-Tails's chakra. Still, it's a good thing he isn't here. You know who that is, right?"

'Course, fool, ya fool.' "So, when can I get a look/ At your next big book?" Bee asked.

"Ah, a fan," Jiraiya said, clearly pleased. "Well, it'll be a bit longer, but for now, how about an autograph."

"Alright, that'll be sweet/Glad I was lucky it was you I meet."

"There is… one condition," Jiraiya said. "You see, my godson, he's like you. A jinchūriki. I was hoping one day, you could help him."

Bee looks at him in surprise. 'Think he means him?' "I wonder the identity/ of this jinchūriki?"

"I can't tell you his name, only that he holds the Nine-Tails."

"Hmm," Bee said in deep thought. "I'll talk to bro/Hope he doesn't say no."

"That's all I ask," Jiraiya said.

"Found him. I'll tell you where to go."

"Well, I gotta go/Before I'm found by my bro."

"Yeah, heard about the Raikage's overprotective nature of you. Got one of my books on you?" Bee nodded as they both exited.
-

A red toad appeared in his office. Hiruzen wondered what his student wanted. When he opened the letter, his face dropped.

Sensei,

Just wondering about my godson. Haven't seen him since he was barely a week old. I'm sure he's doing fine, but still, I'd like to know. Maybe I'll come visit him. Don't worry, I won't let him see me. I'll wait until he's a genin and see if he's inherited you know who's potential before we meet.

Oh, and some kids delayed the next book of the series, but I'll give you a heads up when it's out.

Jiraiya.

The old Hokage sighed. He was afraid of how Jiraiya would react when he learned Naruto had run off. However, he knew he need to know. Not only did he deserve to, but he need Jiraiya's network to find them, since Kakashi hadn't found anything yet. So he wrote a response, and gave it to the toad, who disappeared in a puff of smoke.
-

"Go left,"Eight-Tails instructed. Bee turned the corner. He wasn't worried about them though, so he wasn't running but walking. "I'm surprised your calm about this."

'No need to fear/We're just meeting our peer. I'm sure they're fine/Or there'd be something from Nine.'

"True. Nine-Tails may not like humans, but he won't let something happen to the boy. Because if Naruto dies, he goes through reformation and trust me, it's not a pleasant experience at all. And if something happened to the girl, he'd pounce on the boy's moment of weakness."

'Same deal as you/And number two. Though, now we don't need to bother/Finding wondering about the father.'

"True. Jiraiya's little slip up really cleared things up. And for the love of God, take a break from the raps!"

Bee and Eight-Tails were about to get into yet another argument about that when they heard, "Hey Octopops!" He turned to Naruto, but were surprised by what he saw. Naruto had dyed his hair black and his eyes were red, mostly likely because of colored contacts like Hinata had. His whisker marks were still visible though. He wore a dark red jacket with orange stripes on the sleeves and black pants. Hinata had dyed her hair dark purple. Her eyes were still purple thanks to the contacts, and she wore a lavender jacket with white stripes and blue ninja pants. "What do ya think?"

"Nice job with the look/But you're not off the hook. We need to leave/So your goals we can achieve, fool ya fools." Bee said.

"Alright, I'm gonna get stronger, ya know! And then, I'll be Raikage, believe it!" Naruto shouted. He couldn't help but look forward to his new life.

"R-right," she replied softly. She still wasn't comfortable with the idea, but she had told them she would go and she would stick with it.

"Alright." Bee said. They walked away when Bee pulled out a red book. They heard him giggling as the exited the village, which worried them since it was similar to the Pervy Sage's.

"You… really like that book, I guess," Naruto said, trying to get a better look at the cover.

"Yeah, I like it, it's cool/But bro doesn't, the fool."

"Fool am I?" Bee stiffen and looked up in the trees to his left to see his brother A standing there with one bodyguard. A had dark skin, blond hair slicked back, and a small mustache and goatee. He had one a white haori with no shirt underneath. Large, golden vambraces were on his arms and he wore a big golden belt with the face of a boar on it. His pants were black with torn ends. Next to him was a man with blond hair the same shade as Naruto's was, as well as black eyes. He had on a white flak jacket like Bee's, a sleeveless black shirt underneath, as well as black pants. On his forehead was his protector with the Cloud symbol, had black armguards, and white and red shin guards like Bee's.

"Oh, bro, I…" But before he could finish, the Raikage jumped down and performed the Iron Claw technique, which basically him grabbing Bee's head and squeezing.

"Damn it Bee! How many times have I told you to stay in the village! Why don't you ever listen to me?" A shouted as he squeezed harder. Naruto was getting angry at how A treated his brother when he let go of his brother and put his hand on his shoulder. "I worry about you. As a jinchūriki, you're the target of our enemies. And I'd hate to lose my little brother." Naruto saw the genuine care in the Raikage's voice and figured he wasn't that bad, though if he tried to do anything bad to Hinata…

Hinata back away slowly. This was the man who ordered her kidnapping and got her uncle killed. 'Oh man, what am I doing?' She started to hyperventilate until Naruto grabbed her hand and gave her a reassuring look, one that said he'd protect her. She blushed but calmed down enough to get her breathing under control.

A look at the two children and asked, "Bee, who are these two kids with you?"

Bee moved back and put his hand on their shoulders. "Bro, these kids here/I'll say their names for you to hear." A sighed. He should have told Bee to tell him without the rap, not that he would have listened anyway. "Menma Uzumaki is his name/Being Raikage is his endgame."

A looked surprised. This boy was a member of the famous Uzumaki Clan, and he wanted to be Raikage. 'Lets see what the future holds for him.' "And the girl?"

"Luna here's a bit shy/But she'll make a great ally."

'Shy? She looks downright afraid of me. Then again, I am an imposing figure in the shinobi world.' "Relax, I won't hurt you, little one." A said, crouching in front of her and giving her a reassuring smile. "As Raikage, my role is a protector. Something I could do better if someone stayed in the village like I told them," he added as he sent a glare at Bee, who shrugged it off.

"Um, p-p-pleased to m-meet y-you, L-lord R-Raikage," she said with a bow.

'She knows her manners, but still, I'll have to talk with Bee about her. Speaking of which…' The Raikage stood and faced his brother. "We're heading home, and you're telling me everything about these kids, and what you have planned for them, and," He learned into Bee's ear. "Do they know?"

"Yeah they do bro/They know about Eight'o." Bee said loudly. "It's alright/It didn't give them fright."

"Then maybe you should let Eight-Tails speak. I want to understand the situation as quickly as possible. C, we're leaving."

"Alright, Lord Raikage." The blond guy, C, jumped down and joined them.

Jiraiya threw the letter in frustration. 'Naruto gone?! Damn it sensei what happened? How'd he get away from you?' Moved to pick up the letter again and continue reading it. Sensei asked him to use his network to find him quick. He also mentioned a photo of Naruto in the envelope. Looking at it he was shocked by what he saw. It was the boy from the hot springs! 'He was right in front of me and I let him go!' Summoning two shadow clones, he began to search the entire village for his godson. 'I should have known it was him!'

Alpha: Well, this chapter's done.

Shino: It wasn't me in this chapter.

Alpha: What did you expect?

Shino: I expected to be in this fic.

Alpha: Wait until the Chunin Exams.

Shino: Will I stand out?

Alpha: Maybe. Maybe not. Wait and see.

Shino: Fine. (He leaves)

Jiraiya: Fic me is right to be glad Tsunade wasn't there. She nearly killed me last time.

Alpha: I bet Konan and Sakura would do so if you peeped on them.

Jiraiya: Maybe. I did train Konan and Sakura is like a miniature Tsunade.

Alpha: And Tenten would turn you into a pincushion.

Jiraiya: Possible.

Alpha: Kurenai would probably…

Jiraiya: I get it! The women in my world are scary when catching a peeping tom, but there's an easy solution.

Alpha: Don't peep?

Jiraiya: Don't get caught.
