ANYWAY, New story. Do the thing.

Disclaimer : Suck my dick.

"Hey Jiraiya-Sensei? What's a good gift for Auntie Tsunade?" A young males voice interrupted the peaceful atmosphere that had settled long ago in the area.

The older male turned his head to glance at his student slightly surprised to hear the boy show interest in something that wasn't Shinobi related.

"Why are you asking Naruto?" It was indeed something to take note of considering the boy wasn't exactly normal. The teen preferred to remain in isolation and loved silence. He wasn't much of a talker and generally only participated in social activities if it was, in his words, 'logical.'

The blond possessed similar idealisms to that of the Aburame in Konoha. Considering his upbringing, it wasn't all that suprising. He was emotionally stunted due to the treatment by the populace in Konoha. Hiruzen had tried all he could, but he was only one man. Kami rest his soul.

The young teen glanced towards his teacher with a blank face before tilting his head slightly. "Is it not the appropriate gesture when you wish to show gratitude on one's birthday? Afterall, it is what you would do for me." It was slightly unnerving being under the stare of the boy. But the older male had grown used to it over the years.

"Well, yes. But I was more interested in why you wish to give her a gift. Not that there's anything wrong with it." Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders lightly after his statement. His student turned away from him and stared out into the empty field with that same emotionless gaze.

"Is it not logical of me to give her a gift? She is the only person aside from yourself to show genuine care for me."

The older male sighed at the 16 year olds statement. It was true for the most part. Jiraiya would visit Naruto on his birthday every year to make sure he had the essentials. The boy didn't have friends because he preferred to be alone. When the boy was 10 or so, Jiraiya suspected that he was a little on the spectrum. His teammate only being able to confirm this in private.

Tsunade had showed genuine kindness and a far more gentler side to the young boy when she had met him. Though she had left Konoha of her own volition, she was still loyal through and through. The older woman discovering she had an actual living family member was what truly enticed her return to take the mantle of the 5th Hokage.

Tsunade finding out about Naruto's condition and his treatment had struck a fire in her that he hadn't seen since Dan's death. Jiraiya had feared for even his own safety following the woman's wrath. She could be quite vengeful when she needed to be.

Jiraiya shook his head slightly and responded to his students question. "Well, maybe some sake?" The older male had a small grin at that.

"Auntie Tsunade drinks too much to begin with. It is unhealthy. She has the ability to cleanse and purge the after effects of consuming such large quantities but it doesn't mean it's logical to do so." The boys face remained blank but the older male could see the glimpse of annoyance in his students eyes.

"Why do you care so much hmm? A little crush perhaps?" A sly grin morphed on his face.

The boys face turned towards the man with a raised eyebrow. "She would be far more interested in a younger man than one who has vacated his prime." The statement was so blunt that Jiraiya could feel it smack him in his face. Literally.

Jiraiya's eyebrow twitched following his students statement. "Oi! Ya little shit. I'm only 45 years old! If you haven't noticed, Tsunade is the same age as me."

The young man gave a light shrug and retorted. "Yes but she is still in her prime and will remain that way until her early 60's. Auntie Tsunade is Uzumaki and Senju born."

The boy then leaned against the tree he sat infront of and closed his eyes continuing on. "She may be 45 but the combined genetics of those two clans puts her at mid 20's. You and I both know very well that her excuse of using a 'Genjutsu' to hide her age is just that. An excuse. It is impossible to have such finite control of one's Chakra to pull off such a feat 24/7."

The Toad Sage was annoyed that every single word that was being said was entirely true. Why does the brat feel the need to attack his age?

"Also, I did not mean to offend you. I was merely stating facts."

"Yes. Well, most people do not wish to hear such things."

The boy furrowed his eyebrows with genuine confusion. "Why is that? Why would anyone wish to hear the opposite of the truth?"

The older male just sighed as he remembered just who in fact he was talking to. A prodigy of all things Shinobi related but completely oblivious to all things 'normally human' related. A conundrum if he ever saw one.

"Because Naruto, some things that are truthful can actually be detrimental." Jiraiya began to scribble in his notepad as he knew that Naruto would begin asking questions.

"The truth being a detriment? How is that logical?"

Jiraiya sat silent for several seconds wondering how he should approach the subject. His young student was eyeing him with a mixture of curiosity and confusion. The only emotions the boy seemed to ever really show.

"Got it," he snapped his fingers. "Say you wish to give Tsunade a compliment. How would you do so?" The man stared at his student with a smile.

Naruto blinked before responding. "I would tell her that she is both powerful and beautiful."

His Sensei nodded before continuing on. "Now, what are things that you dislike about Tsunade and how would you tell her?" The older male immediately held his hands up in defense at Narutos piercing stare. "No jokes this time. I'm being serious."

The young male nodded slightly before narrowing his eyes. "I would tell her that her frequent use of alcohol is slightly barbaric."

Jiraiya snapped his finger following the boys answer. "That is something you would not verbally tell Tsunade." He could tell that he was getting through to the boy now.

"But.. Why not? Alcohol is a detriment to her health." The blond had his head tilted slightly with a vexed expression on his face.

"Because Tsunade knows her limits. Alcohol is a detriment to anyone besides Jinchuuriki's and that woman. Her body actually purges the toxins in the alcohol faster than they can affect her. Tsunade just chooses to block it." He gave a slight shrug afterwards.

"..I don't understand."

Jiraiya gave a small smile at that and responded. "It's due to the fact that Tsunade enjoys the feeling of it. Alcohol will never truly harm the woman. It's physically impossible. I assume she dramatizes her 'drunkness' to get you and Shizune annoyed."

Naruto adopted a frown for a slight moment before shrugging. "If it makes her happy I will continue to indulge in her little game." A shrug following suit. A comfortable silence sat in the clearing after the boys statement.

Jiraiya glanced at his student for a small moment. Despite his earlier tease the boy might actually have an infatuation with the woman. It would make sense. Naruto may not understand basic human emotions but he indeed had them. It wouldn't be a stretch to believe he had a crush on the woman.

It's not like there were any other women that the Jinchuuriki would frequently speak with. Kakashi had informed him of the dynamics of Team 7. Which weren't that great to begin with. A young man with a heart full of vengeance, a young woman that didn't understand the true intracies of being a Kunoichi, and another young man who lacked basic human sympathy and empathy. A cluster fuck was the first thing to come to mind.

Jiraiya and Naruto were on this 3 year trip due to the event of his teammates' choices regarding the village. Sasuke Uchiha had abandoned Konoha in favor of power. Tsunade had delegated Shikamaru Nara, Neji Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Choji Akimichu, Rock Lee, and Naruto Uzumaki to track the boy down and bring the Uchiha back alive.

The mission was a success but a catastrophe of epic proportions. 3 young men ended up in critical condition and the target Sasuke Uchiha, was killed by Naruto.

Jiraiya had no idea what actually happened. Everytime he asked the boy he would get ignored or the subject would change. The only individual who knew the information was Tsunade herself. The 5th Hokage refused to speak about it.

While a tracking team was sent to retrieve the young boys after their fights, Naruto arrived at the gates later that day with a dead Sasuke over his shoulders. He had simply stated that "I failed the mission parameters."

The last 'loyal' Uchiha was dead and by the hands of the villages own Jinchuuriki no less. Every Shinobi was of similar mind regarding the situation. Sasuke had betrayed the Leaf and he was disposed of. It was unfortunate but that was just Shinobi life. The young Jinchuuriki did not seem bothered by any of it. He had took everything in stride.

The young male had been berated by his female teammate before brushing past her to see if his squad was alive. Kiba, Neji, and Choji would recover and eventually find out what happened following their fights. They weren't that surprised at the outcome of Naruto and Sasuke's battle.

The entire team comprised of Genins and one Chunin knew just how strong Naruto could be. The Uchiha liked to pride himself on his combat abilities but when Naruto decided to take his gloves off the fight would generally end.

Jiraiya had sprung the boy with him due to the fact that Itachi would catch wind of this. The Boogeyman of the Uchiha was a man you didn't typically cross. Regardless of what Jiraiya knew of the young prodigy, he knew for certain that Itachi would be displeased. Whether that be in Konoha or Naruto was up for debate. Afterall, with Danzo's death occuring many secrets had leaked out. None of them were good either.

Jiraiya was glad that Tsunade had ended that sick fucks life. When she activated her seal that fight was over regardless of how many Sharingans that monster possessed. The gall of the man to push for the Uchiha's annihilation as well as using Itachi Uchiha to commit such a heinous act.

The Reaper would no doubt wish to speak with the source of his little brothers subsequent death. It was a big reason why the Toad Sage had convinced Tsunade to let him take the boy. Even if the situation was explained about Danzo's treachery, Jiraiya was uncertain about Itachi's course of action. It was better to be safe than sorry.

The Akatsuki was another problem. A group of S-Rank Rogue Shinobi united under a single banner. For what reason? The war veteran was uncertain. But it most likely had to deal with Jinchuurikis. Anything regarding the Bijuus was dangerous. If that group was actively targteing the hosts for the Bijuus then it was nothing but trouble.

This trip would be over in a couple of months anyway. Tsunade was getting antsy. Her monthly messages that she would send regarding the progress and Naruto himself were beginning to double. He assumed they would triple when they got nearer to the date that they would return.

The older man shook his head slightly before making his way to his feet. "C'mon kid. We gotta make it to Kumo before sundown." The young man just nodded his head before following his Sensei's actions.

Break

Kumo was an interesting village to say the least. Many clouds hovered due to the mountainous region. The general vibe was always stern if Jiraiya had to put a finger on it. It was the most militaristic major village so it would make sense.

"Stick close. Don't need you offending anyone and everyone you meet. Especially in Kumo of all places." The Sage told his student.

"If they are offended by the truth then Kami smite me. What a world we live in where being right is wrong." The young male shook his head slightly and stuck his hands into his pockets. Jiraiya just sighed at the statement before continuing to the checkpoint that would allow them access to the village.

"Halt!" A voice yelled out before the duo even made it to the checkpoint. Jiraiya had sensed them before they appeared and judging by his students lack of response he did as well.

A Jonin from Kumo made his way to the duo. "You are Jiraiya of the Sannin yes?" The man was glaring at the both of them as if they had done some world ending action and brought destruction to the world. Jiraiya thought the man needed to get laid.

"Last I checked I am indeed Jiraiya of the Sannin." Naruto could hear the snark in his Sensei's vouce. Seems he was genuinely annoyed about being stopped so close to the actual village. The young male just closed his eyes, uncaring of the entire situation.

The man just seemed to glare harder at the statement and what he assumed was disrespect from the blond. His glare deepened and he focused his attention on the young Jinchuuriki. "And you are? The scroll's information did not mention a boy tagging along." There was no mistaking the mocking tone in the man's voice.

"Naruto Uzumaki." The young male responded but didn't open his eyes. This man didn't bother him. He wasn't strong enough to pose a threat nor was he threatening enough for the blond to care.

The Kumo Jonin narrowed his eyes at the boy before sneering. "Leave boy. Else I make you do so." Jiraiya was half tempted to scream in frustration. This man was going to end up becoming road kill. They'd have a National incident on their hands.

"You do not have the power nor tact to demand such things from me. You do not even know me. You are weak. You will always be weak. If you think you can force me to leave then you are welcomed to do so." Naruto raised his hands to his sides. The boys eyes opened, if only slightly, to view the man who dare order him around.

Jiraiya definitely wanted to scream in anger now. The man not only disrespected the blond but disregarded him. It was 2 of the 3 things you didn't do! The Sage would need to diffuse the situation before it could get worse.

"You little shit!" The Jonins Chakra spiked and a slight pressure spread through the surrounding. Which only attracted the attention of nearby Shinobi and Kumo's own version of the ANBU.

Naruto's eyes opened to reveal his sapphire colored pupils before glancing towards his teacher. In that brief moment a conversation was struck between the two. Jiraiya tried to stop the boy but he was too late.

Naruto's Chakra bombarded the area. The very ground he stood on cratered before exploding. Huge amounts of dirt, dust, and earth rocketed from his position. The pressure from the boys release of Chakra caused the Jonin to blast away from the Jinchuuriki.

Jiraiya's shoulders sagged slightly due to the pressure. Having been on the receiving end for the past 2 and a half years this was nothing new to the man. But it was going to cause trouble.

Many of the Shinobi were frozen from the raw display of Chakra that the young man possessed. Some of the weaker Nins in the area even being forced to their knees after the display.

Break

A woman with blonde hair who was resting against a tree tensed before her eyes snapped open due to the raw amount of Chakra. Her head turned towards the entrance of the village and a smirk framed her beautiful face.

"Ooooooh. Now that's alot of Chakra. I can sense even more. Shall we go play Matatabi?" The young woman asked to seemingly noone. She disappeared in a burst of speed to where she felt the Chakra spike.

Break

Atop a mountain was a dark skinned man with several blades in his hand and other various areas of his body. The man was twirling the blades in his possession in a symphony of agile and interesting moves that resembled breakdancing.

He suddenly stopped and his head turned towards the direction of the Villages gates and a smirk appeared on his face. "Seems Mr. 9 has come to shine eh?" He sheathed all 7 of his blades before he too disappeared in a burst of speed towards the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki.

Break

The 4th Raikage Ay was seated at his desk with his eyes closed before they suddenly snapped opened. He could sense the incredible amount of Chakra just outside his gates. His first thought was that Bee or Yugito were causing it but he didn't recognize this individuals signature.

The muscular man sighed slightly as he sensed both Jinchuurikis of Kumo rushing to the gates. The man had a meeting with Jiraiya of the Sannin later on and this situation was just going to annoy the man.

Ay removed his hat before calling out to his secretary. "Mabui! I'm going to investigate that source of Chakra." A slight crack of electricity coated his body before he seemingly vanished from the room. His secretary entering a second later in annoyance.

Break

The 4th Raikage landed slightly at the entrance to the front gates of his village. His cloak of electricity vanishing as soon as he touched the ground. The dark skinned man immediately focused on the crater and the two males that stood side by side.

He recognized Jiraiya of the Sannin and the other.. That boy looked far too familiar. Ay's eyes glanced to the Toad Sage before going back to the teen. Blond, spikey hair, thin frame, blue eyes.. Yes. This boy was definitely his child. There was no other explanation.

The Raikage then glanced around at all his Shinobi in the area. He had noticed the gigantic crater that stemmed from the young teen. It wasn't hard to guess that this boy, who was also his child, was the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. The boy had far more Chakra than even Bee did. If the teen was even half as talented as his father was then his men most likely stood no chance.

Ay began to walk slowly towards the duo. The young male had his arms crossed against his chest with his eyes closed. The Toad Sage had an annoyed expression on his face.

Bee and Yugito touched down shortly after. Their gazes sought the young males and a tense silence entered the area.

"You two. Stay out of this." Ay didn't even turn around to acknowledge his strongest Shinobi and kept his attention on the duo in front of him. The Raikage got within 5 feet of the two men and stopped. His two Jinchuuriki's following.

It was quiet for several short moments before Jiraiya eventually sighed and decided to get to the point. "My student and I arrived and were immediately set upon by one of your Shinobi. The man threatened my student and my student retaliated." The Toad Sages eyebrow twitched slightly afterwards.

Ay was silent before his gaze sweeped to the blond who still refused to open his eyes. The Raikage then glanced to one of his men stationed at the gate and asked if what the Sage said was true.

"Yes sir." The Jonin gate guard replied. Ay turned back towards the duo before sighing. "Bring the man here." Two Chunin proceeded to fulfill the Raikages request. The Jonin was then dumped in front of the leader.

Ay crouched down slightly in front of the man and stared into his eyes. "Did you threaten these two men?"

"..I..Yes. Yes sir." The man's gaze was locked on the ground following his statement.

Ay sighed loudly in annoyance before rising to his full height. Faster than the Jonin could react he was kicked straight through the villages gates by Ay himself. The Jonin crashed through an unoccupied stand before coming to a stop.

"I apologise for my Shinobi's actions. You are guests in my Village and shall be treated as such." Ay then turned and swept his gaze on every Shinobi that was present. "If another transgression occurs with these two men unprovoked, you will be stripped in the gallows. Do I make myself clear?"

A loud chorus of "Yes sir!" chanted throughout the clearing. The Raikage nodded once before turning his gaze back to the two men in front of him.

"I believe we have a meeting to get to Jiraiya. Your student is welcome to join." The dark skinned man offered. The young blond finally opened his eyes retaining that same blank face the entire time. He glanced at the Raikage before looking directly at his Sensei.

"I appreciate the offer Raikage-sama, but I will have to refuse." Naruto bowed slightly to the man. "I do not wish to intrude on personal affairs. If it is alright with you I would like a training ground to meditate in."

Ay glanced to the young male before setting his gaze back on Jiraiya. "That is fine. But considering who you are and what you hold, I will need to have my Shinobi watching you."

The young blond just shrugged while nodding his head. "That is acceptable. Thank you for the hospitality."

The boy was incredibly different from his father. That blank expression had remained the entire time since arriving. Either the boy had an amazing poker face that could put veteran Shinobi to shame or it was just his normal expression.

Yugito adopted a sultry smirk. "Is it ok if I am the one to watch the boy Ay-sama?" The young male was definitely powerful. If there was one thing that Yugito loved besides Milk, it was fighting strong opponents.

Ay gave a low sigh before eventually nodding. "Behave yourself. I will not repeat myself a second time." The man warned. Yugito gave a cat-like grin at his warning and focused her attention on the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki.

"I should be saying that to you Naruto." Jiraiya stated. The young male just glanced at his Sensei with his head tilted before shaking his head. The blond began walking away towards the village gates with Yugito immediately pouncing afterwards.

"Bee. Make sure she doesn't cause trouble. I trust her but you know how she is." The Hachibi Jinchuuriki just nodded and turned his attention to the Toad Sage before nodding towards him and disappearing shortly after.

"This is going to be a long day." Jiraiya's voice was tired and exasperated.

"That seems to be accurate." Ay following suit. "Come. Lets talk in my office." The Raikage gestured and both men began walking to the designated area.

Break

Naruto and Yugito walked side by side through the village as she led him to her personal training ground. The boy was quiet and didn't seem to talk all that much. Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing in Yugitos opinion.

The boy was taller than her by a few inches and he walked with a confidence only veteran Shinobi possessed. Considering the boy didn't look 18 years of age made the boy far more dangerous. Which again, wasn't a bad thing to Yugito.

"You're a quiet one." She stated as if fishing for a response. The boy didn't respond for several moments. The woman figured he wouldn't respond.

"I just prefer silence. It is calming to me." The boy lightly shrugged his shoulders following the statement. He was aware that the woman was similar to him. He assumed that she was the Nibi Jinchuuriki.

Yugito nodded her head at his statement. She assumed that he didn't mean anything negative by it. But he was a Jinchuuriki that didn't belong to a Village like Kumo. This village loves their Jinchuurikis. Taking pride and actually praising Bee and herself. The blonde couldn't imagine growing up in a place where everyone treated you like trash.

"I assume you didn't have the best life in Konoha did you?" The woman questioned curiously. The boys head turned towards her before focusing back on the path.

"You'd be correct. I was ostracized and feared my entire life due to something I had no control over. The villagers believed me to be the actual Bijuu that devasted their home. A foolish notion."

There was no emotion that Yugito could detect in his voice. No bitterness or anger came from him. The womans eyes narrowed slightly. Could the boys negative treatment be the cause? She didn't wish to say that he seemed slightly off but..

"You do not seem angry about it." The blonde questioned lightly. She was curious to see if she could get him to open up about the situation. Afterall, she didn't truly know how other Jinchuuriki's were treated.

"If you wish to know about my life in Konoha, you are free to just ask. Sensei says that I am emotionally stunted due to such negative human interaction. I do not understand basic human emotions. I also lack sympathy as well as empathy." The boy lightly shrugged following his statement.

"Sensei says that while I lack the understanding of emotions, I still have them. Which often causes confusion." The boy turned silent after his statement.

Yugito was surprised to hear such delicate information about the young man. Was he not worried about... No. No he wasn't. He just informed her that he wouldn't understand. It meant that she would only know what he truly wanted her to know. Anything that was actually deemed important to the young man would never be revealed. Interesting.

The young male also hadn't made eye contact with anyone since her arrival at the front gates. His eyes would remain closed or they would stray away from the face when talking. The blond didn't lack confidence given his general stride so it definitely wasn't that.

ADHD? No. There were very little movements with his hands and fingers. He'd be fidgeting with a kunai if that were the case. Autism? Now that seemed more likely in her opinion. Just from her brief interaction she could tell that mentally something wasn't right. Not that there was anything wrong with that.

Given his treatment in Konoha it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to say so. It was unfortunate that someone who grew up a Jinchuuriki like herself could be treated so inhumanly.

The two Jinchuuriki's made it to Yugitos personal stomping grounds. She presented it with a slight 'Ta-da!' and the like. The boy furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at the statement.

"It is.. quaint. Away from others. Secluded." He nodded his head. "It is nice." Which looked entirely too weird due to his blank face. The boy began to walk to a nearby tree and planted himself in front of it. He rested his hands in his lap and then closed his eyes.

Yugito watched him the entire time. Once he was seated in front of the tree it seemed like his entire body just stopped moving. It was fascinating. Was he even breathing? It didn't look like it. A distinct calming aura settled in the area. The Nibi Jinchuuriki noticed it almost immediately.

"This is Nature Chakra Yugito. Matatabi's voice explained. "He is a Sage. An incredibly gifted one as well. He is able to juggle his own Chakra as well as the Natural Chakra that is ever flowing in the world. It is incredibly rare and difficult for you Shinobi to achieve such a state. You can count the number of individuals to ever master the ability on one hand."

Yugito was shocked to say the least. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed the pigmentation that surrounded the boys eyes. An orange substance? appearing around his eyes. There were several animals that seemed to drift towards the boy. Birds rested on his shoulders while several squirrels sat beside his knees. It was baffling and incredibly amazing to witness.

Yugito had heard rumors of Jiraiya being a 'Sage', whether they were true or not was up for debate. But right before her very eyes she was witnessing what her Bijuu described as the coveted 'Sage Mode.'

But why show something so rare and powerful? The boy might not seem to care but she technically wasn't an ally. This was free information to feed to her village. So why? Matatabi's amused tone ringed in her head.

"Sage Mode isn't just some fancy make-up. You would be incapable of matching the boy in combat. He would crush you into the ground." The fact that her own Bijuu was informing her of this was enough to make Yugito double take. She would get stomped?! How strong of an increase of power was this?

"It is like comparing a Genin to a Kage. You would not win." The fact that Matatabi's tone was so exact actually made the blonde pause.

Naruto's eyes eventually opened and Yuguto gasped at the change. He possessed a bar like pupil similar to that of a toad while the actual color of the eyes were yellow. They were incredibly mesmerising. The boy blinked and they returned to their sapphire tint.

The calming aura vanished and subsequently the animals scurried away. The boy blinked several times before focusing on Yugito. "There is 2 Toad Sages in this world. But there is only 1 Toad Sage who has fully mastered the ability."

Yugito could easily assume he meant himself on that last bit. The action hadn't even took long. Several seconds and that power had came and then disappeared just as fast. Amazing.

"You are very forthcoming with such information." The woman crossed her arms against her chest. She wanted to see what he'd say.

"It is not like such information would truly be detrimental to me. Very few individuals in this world have gained the ability to wield Nature Chakra. No one is able to defend against it because no one can use it." The boy leaned against the tree and closed his arms.

"Just because you know I can use the ability does not mean you can beat me. You know nothing of what I can do with Sage Mode." Yugito didn't take offense to his statement. The boy seemed to just speak truths and facts. Incredibly blunt yes, but truths nonetheless.

"Perhaps you would like to show me just what this Sage Mode can do then hmm?" The woman had a cheshire grin adorned on her beautiful face. Regardless of how powerful her Bijuu informed her of his Sage Mode she wanted to fight him now.

The boy opened his eyes and stared at her with an eyebrow raised. "That is illogical. Running headfirst into uncertain battles is never a good idea."

"But I like to fight. It gets my blood racing and my heart pounding. You would deny me such a fight?" She had a faux hurt expression. The woman truly doubted it would work on the boy but he did say that he possessed normal human emotions. He just didn't comprehend them.

Naruto stared at the woman in slight confusion which served to look incredibly adorable on his whiskered face. "I did not intend to hurt your feelings.. I am just perplexed at the reasoning. But if you wish to spar then I will do so. My only wish is that you keep what you learn to yourself."

Yugito blinked at that. She could agree to do so but she could also lie and then later inform her Kage. "You seem to be putting some level of trust into me. I could agree and be lying."

The younger blond just shrugged before responding. "That is how Shinobi life is. If you choose to do so, I can not stop you. I was only asking for the sake of doing so. Eventually I will be forced to use Sage Mode in an actual fight. If I do not kill the person or if there are bystanders, then people will know of my ability. I am just delaying the inevitable for as long as possible."

It made sense to Yugito. The boy was truthful with everything that came out of his mouth. That or he was just an incredibly amazing liar. That'd be something.

The blonde eventually just settled on agreeing to his terms. She got to fight with someone with an incredibly rare ability and all she had to do was keep it to herself? Why not? Though Matatabi seemed highly amused at the entire situation. Would she truly get stomped so easily? Only one way to find out.

"I agree then. Now let's fight. I want to see just how powerful this Sage Mode really is." Following her statement the woman flared the entirety of her Chakra and similar to the boys action earlier, the ground cratered and an insane pressure settled in the training grounds.

Naruto was unaffected it would seem. The boy closed his eyes for several seconds before gaining access to Sage Mode. The boy rolled his neck slightly before standing to his feet. Crossing his arms against his chest he opened his eyes and stared directly at the Nibi Jinchuuriki.

"I will allow you the honor of attacking first." Yugito gave a feral smirk before charging towards the boy. She was going to enjoy this immensely.

Break

"This is annoying to say the least Jiraiya." Ay directed to the man sitting across from him in his office. "You say the group is comprised of S-Rank Nuke Nins?" The man's arms were crossed in front of his chest.

The white haired man nodded grimly. "We encountered two of their members prior to electing our 5th Hokage. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki. Both S-Rank and both incredibly powerful. The fact that these are just two of the members makes you wonder who's the monster in charge of keeping these men and women in line."

That was truly a terrifying thought to both men. To be able to keep men like Kisame Hoshigaki in line meant that the leader was nothing short of monstrous. This was a major problem.

"You are certain they are after the Bijuu?" The man stared hard at Jiraiya. The Sage just nodded with a grim face.

"Yes. Itachi's first words to Naruto were 'Please come with us Kyuubi Jinchuuriki.' If that isn't enough proof then I should just retire from the Corps." The man leaned against his chair with a sigh. Ay knew the circumstances regarding anything dealing with Jinchuurikis and their Bijuus.

Anyone who wanted to kidnap the hosts couldn't be plotting anything good. It was a shit show waiting to happen. "Have you informed the other leaders?" Ay was curious to see if Jiraiya had took the risk of allowing Naruto into Iwa of all places.

The white haired man sighed at the question. "I sent scrolls to all the other villages. Suna and Kiri responded as well as you yourself. We have informed the Mizukage and Kazekage. Iwa remains to be seen. I'm certain my scroll was burned as soon as it entered." The man rolled his eyes in annoyance following the statement.

"Yes. Ohnoki is not only stubborn but a sore loser." There was a certain amount of humor in the Raikages voice that made Jiraiya smirk. "Akatsuki is a major threat at this point in time. I am not so foolish to believe that Kumo is indestructible. While I'm confident in our power the title of S-Rank is not given so easily. There are reasons for this."

Jiraiya nodded his head in agreement. "While I do not expect cooperation or alliances or anything of the sort, I am merely wishing to help inform the villages. My godsons life is on the line and if I am able to prevent his death then I will do anthing possible to keep it that way."

Ay nodded his head at the mans statement. Bee was his brother and Yugito was his sister. He'd be damned if he lost both of them. "I will see if I can get Ohnoki to reconsider. Perhaps I can talk some sense into the old bastard. I will inform my Shinobi as well as.-"

The man was cut off as he sensed Yugito's explosion of Chakra in her training grounds. The Raikage immediately frowned while Jiraiya's eyebrows furrowed. Ay stood still with his eyes closed getting a feel for her Chakra. The man eventually just gave an annoyed sigh.

"Little shit almost gave me a heart attack. This talk of Akatsuki already has me jumpy. She is sparring with your student." Jiraiya gave a sigh of relief that was followed by a groan of annoyance.

"That boy is making me age far faster than I would like." He shook his head eith an annoyed expression on his face. He wasn't getting any younger dammit!

"You both are welcomed to stay in the meantime. You have brought me important information. The least I can do is allow you two to stay to rest." The Raikage offeree and he meant it. This information was far too important to be brushed aside.

Jiraiya gave a smile and nodded his head. "I appreciate this Raikage-sama." The man proceeded to stand up and bow slightly to the dark skinned man. Ay called for Mabui to set up rooms for the Sage and his student so they could rest for the next few days.
