I do not own Naruto, if I did JiraTsu would have been a canon sort of thing...
~~~~
Orochimaru stared into his crystal ball with a look of amusement as he watched the playback of the battle between Jiraiya's apprentice and his own. He took a mental note of Naruto's progress as a ninja and considered stealing Naruto's body, and implanting Sasuke's eyes into it. However, doing so without being ripped apart by the Kyuubi was another matter entirely. The old snake decided to shelve the idea for the time being as he sensed Sasuke's cursed seal outside of the wood cabin.
"Kabuto-kun."
Kabuto nodded in reply and opened the door for Sasuke as he ushered the Uchiha toward the table.
"Anything you need patched up?"
Sasuke pointed to his ribs and a few burns on his back, Kabuto promptly began healing the boy.
There was a pause, the only sound being the crickets, and the whirring of kunai Orochimaru twirled around his pinky finger.
"It seems that Naruto Uzumaki has progressed far more than I anticipated, what's your assessment of his strength, Sasuke-kun?"
"I should have won that battle, there must have been something I missed, perhaps-"
Kabuto cut Sasuke off. "You're evenly matched, what you've picked up in technique and skill, he's gained in physical prowess. He'll be an obstacle toward the completion of this mission if he's a strong as Sasuke. What should our next move be Orochimaru-sama?"
Orochimaru sighed as he leaned back in his chair. "Seeing as I've only anticipated having to deal with Jiraiya, Kakashi, and maybe some ANBU, we'll move now and force them to react."
"I advise we wait until morning. We'll only reopen Sasuke's wounds if we try to leave now."
Orochimaru scratched his chin pensively. "True, Sasuke-kun, I will need you to keep Naruto-kun occupied if it comes down to it." Orochimari groaned as he envisioned his contingency plans crashing down on top of him at the mere appearance of the Uzumaki. "He has a disturbing tendency to derail any and all plans he comes into contact with… We move at dawn tomorrow."
"They'll make their move at dawn tomorrow."
"Eh? Why not now?"
Naruto and company stared at Shikamaru in skepticism.
"Naruto, you said that you moderately injured Sasuke right?"
"Yeah, but what's that got to d-… oooooh."
Jiraiya stated the obvious as he put it together. "They'd have a medic on hand to treat Sasuke, but since medical ninjutsu only speeds healing and doesn't actually repair damage, they'd have to rest for the night to make sure Sasuke is at 100%"
Kakashi rolled a kunai between his fingers as his lazy eye swiveled toward the group. "So, we know when they're moving, but how do we plan to ward them off from Kirigakure?"
Shikamaru pulled out a map and a list. "Since I've narrowed it down to these three buildings, I was able to predict the route they'd take to Kirigakure. We can't risk a fight inside the village however, that'd be a PR nightmare for the Hokage, so we'll catch them on this road here. Orochimaru probably knows this too, if so, he's anticipating a fight with us on the road between the fishing village and Kirigakure. Jiraiya-sama, you've warned the Mizukage about him right?"
The Sannin scoffed. "She has the village on high alert, 'psh' but when's that ever stopped Orochimaru?"
"Exactly, that's why we're going to stop him. We can't allow them to capture Sasuke, or even Orochimaru, however unlikely that is." Mitsuki added.
Anko put her hands on her hips as she stared at Shikamaru's maps. "So, what's your plan of action, bookworm?"
There's only one road from here to Kirigakure, Jiraiya-sama and Kakashi-san will wait for him on the road and-"
Kakashi cut Shikamaru off to provide his own input. "Orochimaru doesn't go anywhere without Kabuto, it'd be best for everyone if I were to deal with him."
Jiraiya concurred with Kaksahi's statement. "I'm keyed to Orochimaru, and Kakashi to Kabuto, that leaves Naruto and Sasuke. Simple as that."
"Ne, Ero-Sannin? You can't beat Orochimaru on your own, Snake beats Toad, Slug beats Snake. In case you haven't noticed Baa-chan isn't here this time."
Jiraiya smirked. "That trick I showed you should counter that."
"The sage thingy? When are you gonna teach me that, Ero-Sannin?"
"Later, gaki."
Anko crossed her arms. "Fine, don't give me a shot at the Snake Bastard, I won't hold it against you."
Shikamaru piped in in his perpetually bored tone. "The rest of us need to deal with any reinforcements that Orochimaru has brought with him, Anko-senpai. For now, we need to set up on the road."
"Pack your things, we march in an hour."
" 'ttebayo! It's showtime!"
Hinata stared at the passing clouds outside her window as they reflected the light of the rising sun. She'd figured that it would be simpler to just lie down until another topic came to her mind. This wouldn't be much of a problem if she weren't thinking about Naruto.
Hinata had spent the better part of the previous night trying to find him, but to no avail. She'd asked Sakura, who twitched and winced every time she said his name, Ino would dodge her questions with catty replies, and Ten-Ten… didn't even know he was back yet.
The heiress of the Hyuuga clan had finally come to the conclusion that Naruto was on a mission, but even then, she'd sat there all night, unable to sleep. The girl knew that she had to get to Naruto before Hanabi did. Hinata had long ago deduced that there was something wrong with Hanabi on a deep psychological level; their earlier exchange had only further cemented the notion. Hinata had to get to Naruto before Hanabi did, otherwise, he might think that the entire Hyuga family is crazy.
Hinata slapped her forehead after some further thought.
"It would be miraculous if he didn't already think we're all crazy!" Hinata immediately covered her mouth when she realized that she wasn't alone in the Hyuuga estate.
Seconds later she heard a knock on the door.
"Hinata-sama? Are you alright in there?"
"I-I'm fine Neji-san!" Hinata was scrambling to hide the evidence that she'd snuck out past curfew.
"I heard yelling."
"I was… uhm… changing a light bulb… and it zapped me!" Hinata was busy placing her walking shoes back where they were supposed to be, she was about to close the open window before she heard Neji begin to open the door.
"Hinata-sama, are you burned? I'm coming in."
Whenever Hinata was out past curfew, and someone found out, the blame usually fell to Neji, and with Neji being... Neji, he'd shoulder the blame whenever Hinata was out all night. Hinata, with no other options threw off her jacket and pants and slung them to the other end of the room... her face turned pink in nervous anticipation.
Oh boy, here we go…
"KYAAAAA! NEJI-SAN!"
The Hyuuga prodigy stared blanky for exactly one second. He then bowed and held his position as he scooted out the door.
"My sincerest apologies Hinata-sama! It won't happen again." He stayed in his bow as he closed the door. Neji would be avoiding Hinata for several hours following this incedent.
Hinata let out a huge sigh and slipped her clothes back on. While she didn't like tricking close relatives, (or embarrassing herself to stay out of trouble) she felt that it was the right thing to do, for Neji's own sake.
Hinata was about to get in the bed and get some well deserved sleep… that was, until she heard a low-placed knock on her door with an accompanying voice.
"Hinata onee-san."
Hinata's turned pale as she moved to open the door for her baby-sister.
"Damn, what have I roped myself into?"
Ino plopped her head down on the register in the Yamanaka Flower Shop with a loud 'thunk'. Here she was, chasing Naruto, but he had an ungodly amount of baggage following him. The funny part? None of said baggage was actually Naruto's to begin with, it all came in the form of the people close to him.
Be it Sasuke, or Sakura's inability to understand her own feelings and thoughts, it was all a cluster-fuck of bad omens. Even so, Ino knew, that deep down, Naruto was worth the trouble.
Ino's train of thought was interrupted when she heard the door open, she plastered on her fake smile for her customer.
"Welcome to Yamanaka Arrangements! How can I-… hey Forehead."
Sakura silently pulled another chair up to the cash register. "Hey Piggy-chan, I came to talk."
Ino stretched and cracked her back. "I hope you didn't come to apologize, because if someone should be saying sorry, it's me. What I said the other day was out of line, I don't know enough about your personal relationships to make those kinds of judgements, for that, I'm sorry."
"It's fine, you were right about Naruto. It's just…"
Ino leaned over the desk. "You like both of them and you're conflicted on what you should do."
Sakura flushed. "I-I don't know about that yet. I mean, yeah, Naruto's cute and all, but I…" Sakura flushed.
'Oh Kami, I said that out loud.'
'SHANNARO! WHO GIVES A FUCK?!- It's true after all.'
Ino smirked and leaned further over the register. "Hmmmmm?"
Sakura's look of pensiveness turned to fear. "What if… I'm just looking for someone to replace Sasuke?"
Ino stopped smirking and sat back in her chair. Staring at the ceiling, she put her feet on the register desk and shut her eyes.
That familiar devious smirk crossed Ino's face. "Ah, you won't have to worry about that Forehead."
"Why not? It's a legitimate concern."
"It won't be a problem, Naruto will only have eyes for me by our third date. I'll take'im off your hands so you can get your real boy toy back." Ino stuck out her tongue.
Sakura frowned. "I'm being serious here."
Ino smirked back. "So am I, Forehead. You can talk to me about anything you want, but just know, Naruto's mine."
Ino's catty demeanor instantly swapped with a playful one. "So! Now that's out of the way! Let's talk all things Naruto!"
Sakura stared in horror at her possibly bipolar friend. "…"
"H-Hanabi-chan! This isn't the kind of thing someone your age should be asking about!"
Hanabi's blank expression continued to bore into Hinata's bright red face. "Tell me then, who else could I ask about this? Father would have a heart attack, as would Neji-san, and we don't have a mother to ask. I believe the question would fall to you by default, so I'll ask again."
Hinata squeaked. "No! No-no-no-no-no!"
Hanabi ignored her sister's pleas. "I've taken the size of my frame in relation to Uzumaki-san's, and I'd like a recommendation on which brand of lubricant to use. I'm afraid Uzumaki-san's erection would cause me discomfort and possibly injury should I go without some form of lubrication. If my calculations are correct his penis is approxim-… Hinata-nee-san?"
Hinata had passed out due to the rush of blood to her head. Hanabi stood there and stared at her sister, she closed the drafty window so her sister wouldn't fall ill.
"If this is the case, I'll relay my inquiry to the Hokage." Hanabi walked out of the room, and down the hallway past a shell shocked Neji and a disturbed Hiashi. "Good morning Neji-san, Otou-sama."
Neji sputtered. "H-Hiashi-sama? What should we do?"
Hiashi just stood there, staring straight ahead.
Many miles away, Naruto sneezed rather obnoxiously.
Jiraiya smacked Naruto on the back of the head. "Ne gaki, what part of 'stakeout' don't you understand?"
"I got it, I got it."
"My ass, you're lucky I haven't sensed anything yet."
"More ramen please."
Jiraiya looked back at Naruto in confusion… the Uzumaki was asleep. Jiraiya scratched his head.
He looked at Naruto with interest. "Oi, gaki. Are you asleep?"
"No, Jiraiya-sama."
"… Yup, he's asleep." Jiraiya picked Naruto up by the shoulders and shook him.
"Gah! Ero-Sannin! What is it!?"
Jiraiya slammed his hand over Naruto's mouth and pointed to the road. "SHHHHHH!"
Jiraiya whispered to Naruto. "If things go bad, I'll need you to back me up. Stay here and try not to do anything stupid… for at least 15 minutes."
"I've fought the Snake-Bastard before 'ttebayo! Give me some credit!"
"Wait you have? God, Naruto, remind me to ask you about the stuff you did before we met, alright? I need new material."
"Fine, whatever."
Jiraiya sauntered out into the center of the road and waited for about 20 seconds, right then, a plethora of figures broke the horizon. Jiraiya smirked as his sage-mode activated.
"Oi! When are you gonna teach me how to do that?"
Jiraiya's head snapped over toward the thick foliage in annoyance. "SHUTUP!"
Eventually, the figures reached speaking distance of Jiraiya. In front of the Toad Sage was a large squad of sound shinobi, Kabuto, Sasuke, and Orochimaru himself.
Orochimaru gave a psychotic grin as he stepped forward. "Kukuku, It's been some time, eh Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya blankly stared at his former teammate.
"What is it Jiraiya? Aren't you happy to see me?"
"No… not really."
"But why not? It's been nearly three years since our last reunion… speaking of reunions. How is Tsunade-chan doing?"
Jiraiya rolled his eyes. "She still wants you dead, same as last year."
Orochimaru laughed. "Kukuku, you all forgot to send me my birthday presents last year too."
Jiraiya dug in his ear. "Well, I was gonna send you a cactus… but your're not worth the money spent."
"Tsk tsk, that's no way to play with others Jiraiya. I'm just trying to stay in the loop, that's all. I saw your Jinchuuriki boy in action, I see you've spared no expense in his training."
Jiraiya groaned with impatience. "You talk too much, can we fight now?"
Orochimaru groaned. "… yes! You all let me worry about Jiraiya, go."
With that, the ninja leapt into the trees and continued forward toward Kirigakure. Strangely, Sasuke didn't leave with the others, he stepped forward so that he was standing next to Orochimaru.
Naruto beeped Kakashi on the communicator. "Orochimaru stayed behind to fight Ero-Sannin, the rest of the Sound Ninja are headed toward you."
Kakashi quickly replied. "How many?"
"About 12 plus that Kabuto asshole."
"12 plus Kabuto? That's too easy. Naruto, you back up Jiraiya-sama."
"O'course! Naruto out."
Orochimaru smirked. "I know about your sage-mode Jiraiya, Sasuke's here to be my second pair of eyes, a counter your speed advantage."
Jiraiya smirked. "Not that it would help… Naruto? Would you like to join the party?"
Naruto appeared next to Jiraiya and started glowing red.
Naruto bared his fangs and cracked his knuckles." 'ttebayo! You don't even have to ask."
