Chapter 9: One Month Training

The girl had just entered the Konoha and began to search for the public baths, finding the hot springs. They went into the women's side to find out they were the only ones there.

“Yes! I don't have to use my illusion spell!” Rouyakan removed the spell so her tail and ears showed. She proceeded to slide into the hot springs, followed by Cassie. “This feels great…”

“Yay, no glove!” cheered Alex, tossing her black glove to the side. Alex took a running start and yelled, “Cannonball!”, splashing Rouyakan and Cassie.

“Alex, I'm going to kill you!” seethed Rouyakan, reaching over to wring the water out of her clothes, which Alex had gotten wet. But, unbeknownst to the girls, a pervert was watching and smiling like and idiot.

“Hey Rouyakan, pass the bleach over here. My arm needs cleaning.” called Alex. Rouyakan pulled out some Clorox bleach and Alex got out her scrubber and detached her bone arm and cleaned it.

“It still creeps me out that you can do that…” said Cassie as she scooted away from Alex.

“Whatever.” Alex continued to scrub her arm. After a while she was finished and reattached her arm. The girls then proceed to wash their hair and bodies.

Soon yelling was heard on the other side of the wall. Rouyakan's ears picked up who was talking.

“Hey guys, doesn't that sound like Naruto?” questioned Rouyakan. The other two listened hard.

“Oh my, that is Naruto!” said Cassie. They then heard:

“Peeking… women's baths!” The girls didn't here all of it because some words were quieter than others.

“Why that little pervert!” Rouyakan growled. She then turned and saw Cassie start to tear up (Cassie doesn't like it when boys see her boobs and private area). Soon Cassie was crying and running out of the hot springs.

“I'll get Cassie.” said Alex as she ran after her.

“And I'll take Naruto.” Said Rouyakan evilly as she cracked her knuckles.

~*With Naruto*~

`He may be a pervert, but he's so cool!' Naruto thought as he prepared to chase after a really old guy with long white hair, red make-up and was apparently the writher of `Come Come Paradise'. He was about to run off when he came face first with someone's chest. (*cough* Rouyakan's *cough*)

“Well, well Naruto, I would never had expected you to be a pervert.” said Rouyakan.

“Oh Rouyakan, I didn't expect you to be here…” said Naruto, a little wary.

“Well I am!” Rouyakan pulled her fist back and sent Naruto flying half way across town to where, strangely, the person he was looking for was.

Rouyakan smiled and went to find Alex and Cassie. She just hoped Cassie calmed down because she really didn't want to deal with a hysterical Cassie. It really annoyed her.

She found her friends in the changing area. Alex had just calmed Cassie down.

`Thank god.' thought Rouyakan.

“Okay Rouyakan, let's get changed and go out for lunch! We have just enough money for each of us.” said Alex as she got dressed in her clothes.

“Fine.” said Rouyakan as she also got dressed. Cassie was already dressed. The girls then left the hot springs, but since Rouyakan was really mad at Naruto she forgot to put on the illusion spell to cover her ears and tail so she found herself getting stares from the villagers. One villager stopped completely in his tracks. Rouyakan turned on him and snapped, “What the hell are you staring at?!” The villager ran away, scared out of his mind.

“Uh Rouyakan, your ears and tail are showing…” said Cassie.

“Whoop-de-fuckin'-doo. I really don't care if people find out I'm a youkai. I'm not ashamed of who I am.” growled Rouyakan.

“But still…”

“Cassie, to lecture Rouyakan is like telling Grandma not to commit sin.” said Alex. Suddenly the girls heard running from behind them. They saw an older looking man with long white hair and red make-up under his eyes yelling, “Excuse me ladies!”

“What do you want?” asked Rouyakan.

“Well I would like to treat you lovely ladies to lunch… my treat!” he said.

“No thanks.” said Rouyakan as she turned and walked away, but Alex's hand stopped her from going far.

“Rouyakan, he's offering us lunch. Come on, what's the worst that can happen?” whispered Alex.

“Fine.” said Rouyakan as she rolled her eyes. She then turned back to the man and said, “Okay, you can teat us to lunch.” With that the girls found the guys arms around their shoulders as he lead them down the road.

“So what's your name?” asked Cassie.

“Jiraiya.” he said.

At the little café Jiraiya had taken the girls, the girls were happily eating sweets that Jiraiya was so generously paying for.

“Mmm, this is so good!” Alex exclaimed happily.

“Thanks again Jiraiya-san!” said Cassie as she proceeded to stuff her face with sweets.

“Ha ha! No problem girls, just eat.” laughed Jiraiya.

Soon the girls saw Naruto come running in with a really big (and rather curiously shaped) watermelon. The girls' mouths began to water.

“Ero-sennin, I got what you asked for!” said Naruto, totally oblivious to what Jiraiya had meant.

“What does `Ero-sennin' mean?” asked a clueless Alex. Rouyakan choked on her food, knowing very well what Naruto had said.

“You fool…” muttered Jiraiya. Naruto then presented the melon to Jiraiya.

“Baka, baka, baka! That's not what I meant.” Jiraiya sighed as he cut the watermelon into pieces.

“Mmm, that looks so tasty…” said Naruto as his hand inched for the food.

“Well eat as much as you like.” said Jiraiya.

“Us too? Score!” said Alex as she and Cassie dove for the fruit. Soon an all-out war for watermelon pieces was waging. Rouyakan quirked and eyebrow.

“And pray tell what did you want Naruto to bring you, `Ero-sennin'?” asked Rouyakan as she took a slice of melon and began to munch on it.

“Oh, just to bring a beautiful lady with big boobs.” said Jiraiya, totally oblivious to Rouyakan's hatred of perverts.

Rouyakan's balled her hand into a fist and yelled, “You hentai!” as she punched him square in the face.

“Oh god!” yelled Cassie, Alex, and Naruto as they jumped to save Jiraiya from Rouyakan's wrath.

“Now, now Rouyakan it's not like he's touched us or anything.” said Alex sheepishly.

“I don't want him to influence Naruto into being a pervert too.” said Rouyakan heatedly.

“Believe me, Naruto wouldn't become one, he's just not that kind of guy.” said Cassie as she healed Jiraiya.

“Damn miss, you pack one hell of a punch.” said Jiraiya, a little dazed. Rouyakan just glared.

“I think I'll go.” said Jiraiya, as he began to walk away only to be stopped by Naruto.

“Hey wait a minute, what about my training?” said Naruto as he stood in front of him.

“I don't care!” yelled Jiraiya, flailing his arms.

“Training?” questioned Rouyakan. She then turned to Jiraiya. “What did you do?”

Jiraiya scooted away from Rouyakan, afraid that she would beat the crap out of him. Then Jiraiya pointed at Naruto and said, “He ruined my data gathering.”

“How did he do that?” asked Cassie.

“I was at the bathhouse looking at three girls when he started yelling and they ran off.” pouted Jiraiya.

“What?!” yelled all three girls.

“You saw me naked!” screamed Alex she took the scythe off her back and proceeded to try and kill Jiraiya. Cassie then stepped in front of her. “Alex, stop!” yelled Cassie.

Naruto then decided to interject. “I'm still holding you responsible for my training. I can't just stand here and do nothing. I need to train like hell to become stronger than everyone, pass the Chunin exam, and surpass the Hokage!”

“I do believe Naruto's making an ass of himself.” said Alex.

“Alex, you make an ass of yourself every day.” said Rouyakan.

“Both of you shut up. This just got interesting!” hissed Cassie.

“That's none of my business.” said Jiraiya. “You keep bothering me and bothering me. What an unpleasant kid. I need hot girls like those girls over there for my great writing.” He said pointing to Alex, Rouyakan, and Cassie.

The girls glowered at him.

“I see… I just have to bring you a sexy girl as pretty as Alex, Rouyakan, or Cassie?” said Naruto. Naruto suddenly got a smile that said `I'm going to do something bad'.

“Okay!” he said as he cracked his knuckles. Naruto then put his hands together and yelled out `Henge!' Smoke exploded around Naruto, and when the smoke cleared instead of Naruto they all saw a really beautiful blonde girl with two pigtails.

Jiraiya looked totally shocked and his eyes seemed to go out of their sockets. The girls thought this was the most awesome thing ever.

Jiraiya looked like he was having a spas attack.

Naruto looked up and smiled a cute smile. “Please don't stare so much… I'm getting embarrassed.” said Naruto in a high-pitched girly voice. Jiraiya began to walk forward to probably grope Naruto but the girls jumped in front of Naruto and bombarded him with questions.

“Naruto, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're a fucking genius!” shouted Alex.

“What do you call this?” asked Rouyakan.

“Uh… I call it Sexy-no-Jutsu.” said Naruto, a little embarrassed.

Jiraiya pushed passed the girls and held up two signs that said `pass' while he yelled out “You pass!” happily. The girls' faces (including Naruto's) faltered and everyone thought Jiraiya was an idiot. Jiraiya was busy ranting how Naruto was his type of girl.

Naruto whispered to the girls, “I'm starting to think all adults are weak against this jutsu.” Then Naruto put his cute face on and said, “Now will you supervise my training?”

“Yes, but there is one condition!” said Jiraiya mischievously.

Naruto looked surprised, then changed his face to that of embarrassment, put a finger in his mouth and asked shyly, “What?”

“You must always stay in that form whenever you are with me...” said Jiraiya sill mischievously with a thin line of blood coming down his nose.

Naruto was mad. He turned back into his normal self and yelled out, “Hey! You are just a hentai, Ero-sennin!” pointing at a shocked Jiraiya.

“No, I'm no ordinary hentai!” said Jiraiya.

“What? Don't play dumb with me!” yelled Naruto. Jiraiya began to laugh really hard.

“I'm a super hentai!!”

Naruto and the girls looked dumbfounded that he had openly admitted that.

~*At some random river*~

Jiraiya was watching Rouyakan, Alex, and Cassie who were talking about passed events that happened to them. At the same time, Jiraiya was also talking to Naruto about walking on water.

“Now kid, resume the training you were doing back there at the hot springs.”

“Okay…” Naruto looked a little uncertain as he got up and went to the edge of the river. The girls watched Naruto as he was about to show off his shinobi skills.

Naruto began to concentrate. He then looked up and stepped out on the water. He was a bit wobbly and about a minute later he lost his balanced and fell into the water. The girls began to laugh really hard. Jiraiya looked a little pissed, then he began to laugh along with the girls.

“Damn it!” Naruto yelled in frustration.

“You can't do it right at all…” sighed Jiraiya.

“Shut up!” yelled Naruto. “There's no point in wearing clothes here!” He took off his clothes till he was only in his boxers.

“Hey. Try molding some chakra again.” said Jiraiya.

“Ha! I doubt that he can even walk on water, and that's the easiest of all!” laughed Alex.

“Shut up! No one asked you!” yelled Naruto.

“Just try molding some chakra.” sighed Jiraiya, and thus Naruto began to mold some chakra. Suddenly Jiraiya said, “You!”

“Huh?” Naruto got confused and lost focus a little.

“You look quite sexy in those boxers.”

“What the fuck?!” yelled three quite confused girls. Naruto just did an anime fall.

“I'm trying to concentrate! Don't bother me!”

“Sorry, sorry.” Jiraiya sheepishly. “Continue.”

“Damn you're weird.” Rouyakan looked at Jiraiya like he was cursed as the girls came to sit closer to him.

“You're messing me up…” grumbled Naruto as he began to concentrate. As they looked over at him, the girls noticed Jiraiya looking at Naruto intently. The girls, quite curious, stared at Naruto too and saw a tattoo sort of thing appear on his stomach. It looked like and swirl with a bunch of squiggly lines.

“Hey Rouyakan, what's that?” asked Cassie.

“I do believe `that' is a youkai seal.” said Rouyakan.

“Oh, I learned of those from Gram.” Alex chimed in.

“Knowing you, you forgot what they even do.” Rouyakan looked at Alex.

“I did not!” said Alex angrily. Then the girls saw another tattoo thing appear on Naruto. “Rouyakan, what's that?”

“`Granddaughter of Satan' my ass. If you ever did pay attention, you'd know that that is a five element seal. It makes things go all screwy on an even number seal, which is what Naruto has placed on him.” said Rouyakan matter-of-factly. “ You know Alex, you should pay more attention during your lessons.”

“I hate you so very much.” sneered Alex. Naruto then began to laugh really hard.

“Well well, Naruto is ticklish.” said Cassie.

“Old man, it tickles!” laughed out Naruto.

“Sorry, sorry.” said Jiraiya with a laugh.

The other two girls noticed Rouyakan looking at the seal intently. “What's up Rouyakan?” asked Alex.

“Yeah, what's up?” echoed Cassie.

“The style on the five element seal is rough and not done too well.” stated Rouyakan. “It's like it's been messed up somehow.”

“Kid, put your hands up.” said Jiraiya as he put a hand behind his back.

“Huh? Why?” asked a confused Naurto.

“What the hell is Jiraiya doing?” asked Cassie.

“He's unsealing it.” stated Rouyakan, waving her hand impatiently at Cassie. “Now shush. I always wanted to see a seal unsealed.”

“Just do it, come on. Hands up!” said Jiraiya “Like this, hands up.” Jiraiya then proceeded to demonstrate. Naruto slowly put his hands up, a little uncertain.

Then Jiraiya rammed his hand into Naruto's stomach yelling, “Goguoukaiin!”and Naruto went flying into the gravel. Naruto began to cough, saying, “Why did you do that…?”

“I just hit some points in your body to make you relax.” said Jiraiya.

“Bullshit!” yelled Alex. Jiraiya just ignored her.

“Try and walk on the water again.”

“Geez…” said Naruto as he got up and went to the river. He then stepped out on the water and found out he could walk on it. “ I don't know why, but it's working!” he yelled. Naruto began to do some sort of dance.

“Do the Irish Jig!” yelled Alex, who was ignored yet again.

Naruto then jumped up and down with glee, shouting things like, `Yeah!' or `I'm amazing!'

“Okay, kid, come here.” Jiraiya called. Naruto looked at him at confusion. “I'm going to teach a move that I've kept in store for you.”

“What? What? A secret move?!” yelled Naruto with glee. “Is it a killer move?”

He came running over, only to meet Rouyakan's fist colliding with his head. “What was that for?”

“That's not for not telling us you have a demon sealed inside you, dumb-ass!” yelled Rouyakan.

“Well I didn't think you guys would like me if I told you…” said Naruto.

“Baka! We're not human.” yelled Alex.

“Yeah, plus we would have thought it was cool.” said Cassie. Jiraiya came up behind the girls.

“You girls aren't human?”

“Yeah. Guess we have to tell you what we are, don't we?” said Alex with a smile.

“I'll go first this time.” said Rouyakan. “ I'm Rouyakan and as you can tell I'm a wolf youkai.”

“I'm Cassie and I'm a witch.” said Cassie.

“And I'm Alexandria, but call me Alex. I'm the daughter of Death!”

“Well that's interesting. We've never had non-humans in Konoha before.” said Jiraiya. “Especially not hot non-humans.” as he tried to grope Cassie but Cassie hit him over the head.

“Don't try and grope me!” said Cassie sweetly.

Soon the sun was setting and everyone gathered around a little clearing where Jiraiya was talking to Naruto while the girls were playing cards and not really paying attention.

“Before I teach you the move, there is something you must understand.” stated Jiraiya. “You probably didn't noticed it, but you have two different kinds of chakra.”

“Two different kinds?” questioned Naruto.

“Have you ever felt any special Chakra in you before?” asked Jiraiya.

`Special?' thought Naruto as he crossed his arms. “Come to think of it, I think there was this one time when chakra started gushing out and gave me incredible power, I think… But I don't remember much of what happened that time.”

“Oh you were just being possessed.” interjected Rouyakan. “Any decently skilled youkai or spirit can do it.”

“I see…” said Jiraiya both to Rouyakan and Naruto.

“But,” continued Naruto, “I remember that it was different from the chakra I used to mold. If I describe it in colors, mine is always blue… but the other was a red color.”

“I see.” said Jiraiya. “Okay. Let's end today's training here today.”

“What, already?” asked Naruto.

“Are you crazy, Naruto? It's nearly dark and you still want to train?” whined Alex. Naruto just smiled at her. He then turned back to Jiraiya and said, “What happened to the secret move? I can still train.”

“Naruto, just shut up!” snapped Rouyakan.

“You mustn't get hasty when training.” Jiraiya said sagely.

“He's right ya know.” said Cassie.

“Since all of us are here, why don't we all go into the hot springs together?” laughed Jiraiya, getting a look in his eye. The girls noticed this and smirked.

“Okay.” said Alex.

~*At the hot spring*~

“Oh beautiful ladies! Come on out!” sang Jiraiya happily, thinking he was going to see naked girls.

“We're coming!” yelled Alex.

“Yeah, let us finish hanging up our clothes.” said Cassie. Soon the girls came out in bathing suits and got in.

“W-why aren't you girls naked like us?” said a disappointed Jiraiya.

“Who said we were getting naked? Especially when you're here.” laughed Rouyakan.

“Ah, this feels so good.” sighed Cassie in comfort.

“I'm so comfortable.” Naruto looked over at Alex. “Hey Alex, why are you still wearing your glove?”

“Because I don't want to freak the pervert out.”

“Why? What's wrong with her arm?” asked Jiraiya.

“Oh it's just made of bone.” said Alex casually.

“Oh. Well I've seen worse stuff… I suppose.” said Jiraiya. “You girls want any sake? Drinking after training makes it taste a lot better.”

“I'll have some.” said Rouyakan.

“Me too!” said Alex.

“Me three.” said Cassie as each were handed a small cup of sake.

“Hey, hey, Ero-sennin?” inquired Naruto. “What kind of move is this secret move?”

“You'll find out tomorrow.” Jiraiya simply said.

“Stingy.” muttered Naruto, frustrated. The girls giggled. Suddenly, a big frog came out of the water.

“Holy shit! Where did that come from?!” yelled Alex as she jumped into Rouyakan's lap.

“I have no idea Alex. Now get off me.” Rouyakan pushed her into the hot springs with a splash.

“He's going to become a boiled frog if he stays in too long.” said Jiraiya. Everyone laughed. After that everyone got their clothes on and made their way into Konoha. The girls reached their street and turned to wave goodbye.

“We'll meet you guys tomorrow!” yelled Cassie.

“If that's alright?” added Alex.

“Not at all.” said Jiraiya, happily looking at Alex's breasts.

“Well, bye.” said Rouyakan as she took the other two girls to Kakashi's apartment. When they got there they noticed a note scrawled on a scrap of paper. It read:

Dear Rouyakan, Alex, and Cassie:

I'm on a mission and won't be back for a while. Since a bird ate the spare key, you might want to go live with Naruto for a while or something.

Sincerely,

Kakashi

“Oh, that is so like him.” Rouyakan sighed. “Well, let's head over to Naruto's place, girls.” And so the girls went over to Naruto's.

The girls decided to fly. Alex got on her scythe, Cassie on her broom, and Rouyakan turned into her full youkai-wolf form that could fly and soon the girl were at his apartment in no time. They knocked on his door and Naruto opened it, rubbing his eyes. It was obvious that he had been asleep when they had knocked.

“Ano, why are you guys here?” he asked, totally confused.

“We need a place to stay.” explained Rouyakan tiredly.

“Huh? Why? Don't you live with Kakashi-sensei?” questioned Naruto sleepily.

“Yeah but he left us a note and no spare key… so we're locked out.” smiled Alex ruefully.

“Okay, but I don't have a lot of room…” said Naruto as he gestured the girls in.

“Hey, as long as you have a big bed it's cool.” said Cassie, totally unfazed by the late hour.

“Uh, okay…?” Naruto was too tired to think of sentences as he followed the girls.

Later that night, the girls had gotten in their pajamas and were sleeping soundly, all except Alex, who couldn't seem to get to sleep, no matter how hard she tried. After much tossing and turning, Alex finally gave up on sleep and went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot chocolate from a hot chocolate packet she had pulled from Rouyakan's sleeve. The milk was just the right temperature when Alex felt an approaching feeling of death from far away (A/N: Alex can sense the death of someone from about two miles away).

“Uh guys I got to go to… work.” Alex said quietly, but loud enough to wake the others as she took her scythe and walked to the door.

“Hey Alex, where are you going?” asked Naruto, looking at her with sleepy eyes.

“Don't worry, I've just got some work to do. I'm going to leave the door unlocked so I can get in, okay?” And with that Alex slipped out the door, mounted her scythe and flew to where she sensed the death was going to happen.

When she got there she noticed that she was on top of a roof with two giant fish statues.

`Well this is a weird place to die.' thought Alex, looking around. The rooftop looked eerie in the night, the pale moonlight making everything seem to glow with an unnatural light.

`Might as well wait here for the person to come.' sighed Alex as she sat down on one of the statues and looked up at the full moon. Alex began to daydream (E/N: Or would it be “night-dream”…?) and she was totally unaware of a certain someone coming up onto the roof. Alex was so caught up in her daydream that she didn't notice that sand was snaking its way around her waist like a living thing.

“So you're here.” said a voice. Alex, taken by surprise, turned around to come face to face with Gaara.

“Oh, god damn it!” groaned Alex. “Why is it whenever I'm by myself I somehow wind up with you?” she pointed a finger at the pale-eyed boy.

“Don't try my patience, girl,” growled Gaara. “Or I'll kill you.”

“First of all, my name is Alex, not `girl'.” snapped Alex. She really hopped that someone would fix up that attitude of his. She would be more than willing to do it herself. “And second, you can't kill me, remember? I'm immortal.”

“You best watch yourself.” Gaara snapped right back.

“Shouldn't you be in bed, little boy?” Alex smiled a mean smile.

“Shouldn't you be a ditz somewhere else?” Gaara had a temper to match Alex's. Alex was mad. No one, and I mean no one, insulted her just because she was a little irritating and possibly a little spaced out at times.

“I'm not a ditz you psychotic freak!!” screamed Alex.

“You know, you could be a little more quiet and not wake up the whole hotel?” hissed Gaara.

Suddenly, Random Blonde Chick came running in and bitch-slapped Gaara a couple of times and then, for the first time, said something. “Got owned, bitch!” she sang and then she sprinted off somewhere else, Mr. Smith running after her yelling, “Get back here and fight, Mr. Anderson!”

“I'm not Neo, you freak! Get the hell away from me!!”

Gaara was now a cross of unnerved and pissed off. Alex was on the ground laughing her ass off. Gaara directed his glare at her. He bent down and picked her up by her arm, since he couldn't grab her by her shirt because she was wearing a tank top.

“What the hell was that?” he growled.

“Oh yeah, her… She's a Random Blonde Chick who appears out of nowhere and bitch-slaps random people.” explained Alex while trying to keep a straight face, but after the explanation she started laughing again.

“Shut up.” seethed Gaara.

“Aw, no need to get all upset about it.” said Alex, trying to cheer him up. Gaara decided to change the subject.

“So, why are you here?” he asked.

“Same reason as the last time you saw me.” said Alex with a bored expression.

“Someone's about to die?” Gaara seemed a little wary for some reason. Alex briefly wondered about that before continuing.

“Yeah.” Alex tried not to sound sad, but something about her `job' always pulled at her heartstrings. Realization dawned upon Gaara.

“You don't like doing this, do you?”

“No, no! I like doing it, I meet great people and the occasional friend, but…” Alex faltered for a minute, then continued rather quietly, “It's just that I don't like taking the souls of children.”

Gaara just stared at her.

“Well don't you have some smart-ass remark about what I just told you?” snapped Alex, feeling a little embarrassed about spilling her emotions to some strange kid.

“…It's just I never thought Death would be, you know… caring or anything.”

“Well, I am half human.” Alex huffed, a little miffed that he thought just because she was `Death's daughter' she was supposed to be an uncaring bitch. Gaara stared at her with an expression that reminded Alex of a small boy.

A silence stretched out between the two of them, which Alex broke by suddenly starting to giggle.

“What?” snapped Gaara. Alex waved her hands in her defense.

“No, I'm not laughing at you or anything. It's just… You know, when you're not all Mr. Bloodlust or `I'll-kill-you-all', you can be pretty cool.”

Gaara was a little taken aback. No one had really ever called him `cool' before. It was more like `Oh god, it's Gaara, run for the hills!' This girl was different though. She didn't seem to be afraid of him at all; she even had the nerve to argue with him and insult him to his face. He'd never met anyone like that before, because they were all too afraid to get anywhere near him. For some reason, Gaara found an odd type of peace from this. He was snapped out of his reverie by Alex's voice.

“You know, we're not really all that different, you and me, are we?” Alex smiled at him. Gaara stared at her like she was crazy, then reverted back to his callous, uncaring attitude.

“What are you, insane? We're nothing alike.” For a minute there, Gaara looked and sounded like an ordinary boy, but then the moment was gone and he was emotionless as ever.

“Whatever.” Alex simply smiled at him. Suddenly footsteps were heard, and Gaara and Alex turned to see… the bandaged Sound-nin guy.

`Oh please don't let him die. I really don't want to take that creep to the other side…' thought Alex.

“You sure surprised me… don't you sleep?” he chuckled, looking at Gaara.

“What do you want?” Gaara's emotionless voice seemed to make the other shinobi hesitate for a minute.

“I was planning on killing you as you slept. Then I'd have a higher chance of fighting Sasuke-kun.”

“That's cheating!” yelled Alex as she stood up behind Gaara. The Sound-nin just stared at her.

“Good, Death is here. You can see who wins.” said Bandaged-sound-ninja guy. He then turned back to Gaara.

“I know all about your sand attacks. I wonder if it's faster than my sound…?” he faked thoughtfulness as he prepared to attack.

Gaara just glared. Alex just sighed.

`Why does everyone want to fight Sasuke? He's not that good.' thought Alex.

The wind picked up, swirling around them and making the bells under the roof chime.

Gaara suddenly seemed to go all weird, like he was blood-lusty. “As the full moon comes…” started Gaara. Bandaged guy looked shocked. Gaara continued to recite some odd poem. Alex was a little confused.

“We get bloodthirsty during the full moon…” Gaara smiled wickedly as sand began to swim around him and move all around the place, then shot to towards the bandaged guy. Bandaged guy looked horrified.

`Damn it!' thought Alex. `I do have to take him back with me!'

Suddenly it was all over, with Gaara as the victor. Gaara was breathing really hard. Alex, being the nice girl she is, was worried about Gaara.

“Gaara? Hey Gaara, are you okay?” asked Alex as she picked up her scythe, rushed over to Gaara, and grabbed him by his shoulders and shook him.

“Get away from me!” seethed Gaara, pushing Alex away. The bloodlust still had a grip on him; he didn't know what would happen if she got any closer.

Alex stood up, full of worry. “Gaara, you have to tell me what's wrong. I think I can help.” Gaara glared at Alex, that strange gleam in his eyes sent shivers raking down her spine.

“You can't help me!” Gaara pushed her away again, this time off the roof, and he vanished. Alex quickly got on her scythe and began to fly towards the soul of the dead Sound-nin. Alex opened a portal to one of the afterlife's, then looked over across at the other building at some shadowy figures. She flew over to where the hiding figure, which turned out to be Hayate.

“Hello.” whispered Alex. “What are you doing?”

“I'm spying on those two who are about to attack Konoha.” said Hayate quietly, pointing to some other figures that Alex couldn't make out.

“You better go tell the Hokage. I'll cover for you.” said Alex.

“You sure?” asked Hayate.

“Yeah… you go on ahead.” She began to remove her glove.

“Thanks.” said Hayate as he left, heading towards the Hokage's office. Alex turned and saw him off in the distance, suddenly getting glomped by Random Blonde Chick as she appeared from nowhere again. Alex smirked as she heard the two, finally realizing someone was there.

“Oh … one more thing: I'll clean up here.” said Kabuto with a smirk.

“Oh, bring it on bitch.” Alex muttered quietly, smiling devilishly.

“No, I'll do it… As a partner.” Said the teacher of the Sand team. “Sand should do something too.”

`Aw man, I can't fight the bastard… oh well, beggars can't be choosers.' thought Alex as she fully removed her glove and readied her scythe.

“Plus, it's only one rat. No problem.”

`Oh hell no… he did not just call me a rat.' thought Alex angrily as her eye twitched. Suddenly the Sand guy was in front of Alex. He began to laugh at how the person spying on them was a non-shinobi girl.

“It's such a shame that you have to die, but I did say I would clean up.”

“You think so?” said Alex. The Sand teacher began to attack Alex but stopped dead in his tracks, literally.

“Oh, thank you Daddy for being Death!” said Alex as she let the dead Sand guy fall down dead and sent his soul to hell. Alex then proceeded to fly to Naruto's house, noticing that Cassie had made Naruto's bed bigger so they could all fit. And Alex crawled in to bed and went to sleep.

*~The next morning~*

In the morning, the girls went back to the river with Naruto, bringing towels and the bathing suits they wore yesterday at the hot springs. As soon as the towels had been set up, the girls set about getting a good tan, while Jiraiya was peeping on girls on the other side of the bushes.

“Not bad, not bad!” Jiraiya said happily.

“Hey!” Naruto was irritated that Jiraiya wasn't training him yet, but instead was spying on girls. Again.

“Really, it's like I'm in heaven!”

“You wish!” yelled Alex, flicking him off.

“Hey Ero-sennin, I'm calling you!” yelled Naruto again. Jiraiya continued to ignore Naruto and laugh at the half naked girls, much to Naruto's ire.

“Don't you have anything better to do?” questioned Rouyakan, disgusted at Jiraiya's perverted actions. Suddenly the girls saw Naruto transform into his `hot girl' from.

“Things are just about to get interesting.” said Cassie, eyes shining with excitement.

“Yep!” said Alex as Naruto's hands went over Jiraiya's eyes.

“Enough is enough.” he/she said in a sweet voice. “I'll get angry if you don't answer me! I'll do anything as long as you help me with training. Oh, please!”

“Finally you've transformed!” said Jiraiya, happy and excited. “I've waited for it so long!” Naruto then jumped away and turned in to his normal self as Jiraiya turned around, only to find out that Naruto was himself again.

“Don't fool me like that.” said Jiraiya sadly. The girls, however, found this hilarious and were laughing their asses off at how much of a fool Jiraiya was.

“Man Rouyakan, you could see that coming a mile away!” laughed Alex.

“I know! You just knew Naruto wouldn't let `Hentai-Man' see him naked!” Rouyakan choked out. Cassie said nothing for she was laughing too hard.

“Damn it!” said Jiraiya. The immortal girls looked up and saw the girls Jiraiya was peeping on leaving, which only meant one thing… He was going to try and grope them again. He went back over to the bushes and peeked through them again, as if hoping the girls were still there.

“Hurry up and teach me!” sighed Jiraiya, mimicking Naruto.

“… Are you really serious about this?” questioned Naruto.

“Yeah, you seem more interested in women than him.” Rouyakan observed.

Jiraiya sighed and went to Naruto, bending down to his level and beginning to speak.

“Do you remember the talk we had yesterday about the two kinds of chakra?”

“Huh? We had a talk yesterday?”

“Naruto, are you stupid or something?” asked Alex.

“Remember Naruto, the talk about how you have two different types of chakra?” Cassie informed him. “You know you said something about blue chakra and red chakra?”

“Huh? Oh yeah… So what about it?”

“You said you had `incredible power' when you felt the red chakra.” said Jiraiya.

“Yeah, it kind of felt like that…” Naruto trailed off.

“Then try to release that red chakra right now.” ordered Jiraiya.

“All right, if you say so…” Naruto was apprehensive. “I'll give it a try.”

Naruto began to draw out his chakra and a blue aura surrounded him. The girls stared at Naruto to see if he could call Kuuybi's chakra.

“… So?” questioned Jiraiya after a minute. Naruto just groaned in frustration.

“No, it's just… my regular chakra.”

“Geez… you have no talent.” sighed Jiraiya.

“Man, harsh much?” said Cassie.

“I'm not sure he means it though.” said Rouyakan.

Naruto more flustered at what Jiraiya had said. He yelled, “Stop acting all high-and-mighty! I really don't understand this red and blue chakra myself!”

“Jeez Naruto, you're a dumb-ass.” said Alex.

Naruto turned on Alex and yelled, “You too! Stop acting like a know-it-all just because you're immortal!”

“Why, you little brat!” yelled Alex as she raised her scythe above her head. She was about to smash it down on his head when an angry voice stopped them.

“No nonsense. Go on.” said Jiraiya, nodding to Naruto. Naruto gulped and the girls whimpered from fright. Naruto then grumbled and went back to calling forth the red chakra.

The girls turned to Jiraiya, and Rouyakan asked, “Naruto doesn't know that the `red chakra' is Kuuybi's, right?”

“… Yeah.” said Jiraiya, staring at the girls' boobs.

“Uh, our eyes are up here, perverted bastard.” said Alex, pointing at her face.

“Alex!” scolded Cassie.

“What? Naruto calls him `Ero-sennin'! Why can't we call him `perverted bastard'?” whined Alex.

“I agree with Alex for once.” said Rouyakan.

“I'm working with a bunch of idiots…” mumbled Cassie. She turned to apologize for Alex's behavior only to find that Jiraiya had fallen anime style, but he soon recovered.

Over near the river, Naruto sighed wearily. “Oh, no. No way! I can only produce common chakra!” Naruto looked defeated. “Ero-sennin, what does chakra have to do with this technique anyway?”

Jiraiya stood up while saying, “Listen kid,” he started, he pointed his finger at Naruto, going closer. The girls thought that he was going to flick Naruto, and apparently Naruto did too, because he stumbled backwards, almost losing his balance.

“The skill I'm going to teach you requires much more chakra than you've got.” He waved his finger at him. He then proceeded to poke Naruto's forehead. Naruto then seemed to lose some of his balance because he was barely standing upright, failing his arms out to keep from falling. “So, we need to be able to pull out and use the huge chakra that's sleeping inside you.” finished Jiraiya. Naruto finally gained his balance back and stood up, asking, “How do you know that I have this other chakra?”

“How much do you want to bet perverted bastard doesn't know?” whispered Alex.

“You're on!” whispered Rouyakan.

“Well, the answer to your question is simple: I am a Sennin.”

The girls fell over anime style and Naruto did too. Naruto regained his composer and sighed.

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“… This special chakra that only you have will become your greatest weapon.” said Jiraiya as he grabbed Naruto's cheeks and began to pull them in different directions. “Not using it is a huge waste. There's no need to do the same training as the others. Each person has things he's good at and bad at… you have your own style. Your training up until now focused on producing chakra, and releasing a set amount of chakra, and then controlling chakra so you don't tire out.” Finished Jiraiya as he let go of Naruto's cheeks. They seemed to bounce up and down for a little bit `til they settled down. The girls were now thankful not to be in Naruto's place at the moment.

Jiraiya then kneeled down to Naruto's height again. “You have two types of chakra and don't tire out easily,” stated Jiraiya simply. “But with your large amount of stamina, you'd be better off to focus on power before control.”

“Rouyakan, I can't tell. Was that a diss?” asked a confused Cassie.

“You know, I'm not sure.”

“Shh! I want to know the rest of what Jiraiya's saying!” said Alex.

The girls looked a little weirded out. Alex was never interested in learning except if it was drama or history, so the girls listened to Jiraiya.

“You'll train to release the highest amount of chakra as possible; when you can do that there are tons of techniques and jutsus you can use.”

“Such as what?” asked a slightly confused Naruto.

“The one I'm about to teach you; Kuchiyose-no-jutsu.” said Jiraiya. He then looked out on the river and they all saw a frog sitting on a rock.

“Summoning?” questioned Naruto.

“Yeah.” said Jiraiya.

The frog ribbited.

“Hey, isn't the summoning technique summoning demons and such?” asked Cassie.

“Yeah, but I didn't know humans got a hold of this. Only gods and goddesses know this… and deities.” said Rouyakan. She added the deity because Alex would get mad if she left that out. The girls listened to Jiraiya.

“You sign a contract in blood with various life forms and call them fourth with Ninjutsu.”

“So that's how humans do it.” Rouyakan exclaimed. The girls heard Naruto yell out.

“Oh! Sounds awesome! Hurry, hurry! Teach me!”

“Well, before that… use up all your normal chakra.”

“All right!” said Naruto as he jumped in the air and did some sort of back-flip, landing on his feet. “Leave it to me!” he said as he did some hand seals and a bunch of smoke exploded around him. When it cleared there were five Naruto's.

“Oh, `Kage-Bunshin-no-jutsu'?” grinned Jiraiya.

“Well, I've a good idea to deal with chakra!” said Naruto as he did the shadow replication again, more smoke filling the area. Soon there was a crowd of Naruto's.

“This just got interesting.” Said Rouyakan.

“You bet!” said Cassie.

“Much better!” laughed Jiraiya. Then the original Naruto came running out and yelled, “Listen, we're going to battle it out. The last on to survive is the strongest me. We'll decide the me of me!”

“Yeah!” yelled all the Naruto's.

“All right! Go!” said `original Naruto'. All the Naruto's began to charge each other, and soon there was lots of dodging, punching, kicking, falling to the ground, and general chaos.

“That's one way to have your own ass-kicking contest…” gaped Alex.

“Bet you that `original Naruto' loses.” smirked Rouyakan.

“I doubt it.” said Alex as she observed him fight himself.

“Well, this is pretty boring.” sighed Jiraiya as he sat down on the ground. Then out of nowhere a Naruto slammed into Jiraiya, knocking him out with a stupid grin on his face. The girls laughed at him.

“Come on girls, let's get him out of the line of fire.” chuckled Rouyakan as she began to drag the unconscious Jiraiya to the sidelines.

~*A couple hours later*~

The girls and Jiraiya had set up a blanket with an umbrella (for shade) as they continued to watch Naruto beat himself up.

“Well, it's almost over.” said Jiraiya to the girls.

“Yeah… it was entertaining while it lasted.” said Cassie.

Right now there were only four Naruto's left. Naruto looked pretty tired as he walked towards one of the clones. Now only two clones remanded and one went for Naruto but Naruto back-flipped him over his shoulder, and the two shadows clones disappeared.

“I'm bored again.” yawned Rouyakan.

“Looks like I'm the best.” laughed a tired Naruto as he collapsed on the ground.

“Oh shit, is he okay?” gasped Alex as she went to see if he was all right.

Jiraiya and the other two girls walked up to Naruto. Alex was now done checking to see if Naruto was all right and found that he wasn't hurt (just tired), so she stood up on the other side of Jiraiya as he came up and calmly said, “Looks like you finally used up most of your chakra. I'll teach you the technique now.” Naruto seemed to get his second wind and sprang up, which surprised the girls and nearly gave Rouyakan a heart attack, yelling,

“Finally, here comes the training!”

“First I'll show you how. Watch closely.” said Jiraiya as he bit his thumb, streaked it across his palm and did some hand seals. He yelled out, “Kuchiyose-no-Jutsu!” and a giant frog appeared.

“I must say this has all gotten very interesting.” The girls stared at Naruto, looking on in amazement.

“Whoa! So cool!” He smiled.

The giant frog gave Naruto a scroll from its mouth and Naruto gladly accepted it.

“This is the contract with the toads that has been passed down through many generations. You write your name in blood, and under that you press your fingerprint in blood.” instructed Jiraiya as Naruto opened the scroll.

“Wow. You know, this world is so much better than our world.” said Alex.

“Yeah… the good thing is that it's basically our world, except with ninjas.” added Rouyakan.

“Yeah, and they have the same basic technology.” said Cassie as they heard Jiraiya explain further.

“Then when you want to call them, produce chakra and place down the hand you signed the contract with. The hand seals are `ino', `inu', `tori', `sari', and `hitsuji'.”

Naruto bit his thumb and wrote his name on the parchment as the girls hovered around him. He then did the fingerprint and looked at Jiraiya.

“All right, so that's it, right?” asked Naruto.

“Your current state makes releasing the red chakra easier, so give it a try.” said Jiraiya. Naruto did the aforementioned hand seals, then yelled out, “Kuchiyose-no-Jutsu!” placing his hand down on the ground. A bunch of smoke filled the area and everyone waited with anticipation to see what Naruto had summoned. When the smoke finally cleared they saw a… tadpole.

Naruto sweat-dropped, the giant frog Jiraiya was sitting on frowned, Jiraiya was twitching, and the girls were laughing their asses off.

~*The next day*~

Jiraiya was looking at the young girls in the river (again) and laughing like an idiot as the girls splashed each other like stupid freshmen in high school. Naruto was training and failing miserably. The girls were not helping in any way possible. All they really did was throw insults at him, but hey, what could he do beside insult them back and having it thrown in his face again. So we start today's training session with Jiraiya looking at women and the girls tanning and threatening to beat Jiraiya to a bloody pulp if he looked at them the wrong way. Soon Naruto asked, “Ero-sennin, didn't you say you'd help me practice?”

“I'm collecting material. You can practice on your own.” said Jiraiya distractedly.

Naruto groaned and began to talk to himself.

“Bullshit! You're not `collecting material', you're just looking at girls!” said Alex. Jiraiya turned to them.

“You know, I write very important novels--”

“For perverts.” interrupted Rouyakan. Jiraiya ignored that and continued.

“Looking at girls is for inspiration. If you girls let me look at your things I might not look at them and then you wouldn't be so jealous.”

“Jealous? We're not jealous that you're looking at teenage girls. I mean, Alex and I are in our teens and I forget how old Rouyakan is.” said Cassie.

“Thanks for basically telling our ages, Cass.” said Rouyakan dryly. They then heard Naruto use the summoning technique. They heard a popping noise, so they turned their heads towards Naruto.

“Huh? What's the matter?” said Jiraiya in a not caring voice. “Did a frog appear?” They all looked at the ground and saw… another tadpole.

“It…it's an accident.” said Naruto, waving his hands, trying to cover it up.

Jiraiya looked disappointed, then looked up at Naruto and began to yell, “You call this a frog? I'll never help you practice if you don't try harder!”

“Uh Jiraiya? What you don't understand is that this is Naruto trying hard.” said Alex as she tried to suppress a chuckle, while the other girls were giggling.

“Shut up!” yelled Naruto to everyone. Jiraiya continued to yell at Naruto.

“I told you to use your chakra well!”

“I did!” yelled Naruto. “I hate this!”

The girls then began to think the same thing: `This is going to be one hell of a long day…', and all three of them sighed.

An hour later, Naruto was still trying to call a frog, but kept calling up tadpoles, and Jiraiya kept yelling. Now the girls had their fingers in their ears, trying to block them out.

“A tadpole again?! You didn't get any better at all!”

“That's not true!” yelled Naruto as he pointed at the tadpole. “It's bigger than the previous one.”

“It doesn't look that way!”

The girls couldn't take much more of this yelling. “Uh, do any of you want to go to lunch?” asked Alex.

“Yeah, let's go” said Rouyakan as she started to walk off and the others followed. Soon they came to a place that sold beef teriyaki, so they went in. They saw Shikamaru and Choji and their sensei when they looked around.

“Do you think we should go here after all?” asked Cassie.

“Nah, they probably don't remember us.” said Rouyakan.

~*With Shikamaru*~

“Troublesome…” sighed Shikamaru.

“What's `troublesome', Shikamaru?”

“Those girls from the Chunin exam are here.” he said, pointing to a table at the other end of the restaurant.

“Well, invite them over. I'm sure they're hungry.” said Asuma.

Shikamaru sighed, got up, and walked over to the girls. He tapped Cassie on the shoulder.

“Do you girls want to eat lunch with us?” he sighed and then quietly muttered, “Troublesome…”

“Sure.” said Rouyakan as she followed Shikamaru. They got to the table and sat down. Alex sat next to Shikamaru while Rouyakan and Cassie sat on either side of Choji. The girls got some chopsticks and dived in for the beef that was grilling on the table but soon found out that there was none left.

“Hello girls, my name's Asuma. And you are…?” Asuma asked.

“Rouyakan, and I'm a wolf youkai.” said Rouyakan as she took a bite and swatted Choji's chopsticks away from her food.

“Cassie Heroseke, and I'm a witch.”

“And I'm Alexandria Sharhson, the daughter of Death.” finished Alex.

No one doubted them this time. They all believed them.

“Another bowl!” yelled Choji as the waitress came by. Soon two figures passed by and stopped the girls turned to look at none other than Sakura and Ino.

“This will be my tenth time having seconds.” said Choji happily.

“Don't you think you should stop before you give yourself a stomachache?” said Cassie as everyone reached for the same piece of meat. Soon a chopstick battle erupted, with lots of swearing and stuff.

“Are you that hungry? It's a bit embarrassing having to watch this.” said Shikamaru.

“Yeah… Oh hey Sakura!” said Alex as she finally noticed the two.

“Uh, hey guys…” said Sakura awkwardly. “What're you doing eating roasted beef during the day?” asked Sakura.

“Shikamaru, don't you have to take the special training?” asked Ino.

“I do, every day. Asuma does like to nag…” said Shikamaru in a bored tone. Asuma laughed and said, “Actually, Choji did the special training with me today.”

The girls just looked at all of them. Ino had a confused face and asked Choji, “You do the special training?”

“Yeah, for the all you can eat teriyaki!” said Choji happily.

“I take it you're not hard to please.” said Rouyakan.

“I see…” said Ino as she then turned her head and noticed Alex. She suddenly went pale, looking like she had seen a ghost.

“Come on Sakura, let's go.” And so the two girls left.

Shikamaru sighed and said, “I wouldn't win the match if I tried.”

“Stop it.” Chided Asuma. “Many people want to rise in rank but can't.”

“Yeah, I mean, we helped Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto, but we can't rise in any rank because were not shinobi.” said Cassie.

“Cassie, shut up!” hissed Rouyakan. Cassie `eeped!' as she hid behind Choji.

“Training can't be that hard. The training I went through with my grandma probably wasn't as bad as what you have to do, huh?” said Alex.

“And pray tell what was your training, miss Death?” said Shikamaru.

“Well, walking on a lake of lava, sparing over an pit of spikes with only a plank of wood to stand on… Oh, and shoving pineapples up Hitler's ass. I guess that's what led him to want world domination…” Alex trailed off. Everyone looked weirded out.

“As I was saying,” Asuma coughed lightly. “The final match is very intense.”

Shikamaru got a sort of worried face. “What?”

“Some people rose in rank at the last training, but lost the upcoming match very quickly.” said Asuma, looking at Shikamaru as if bribing him to train. Shikamaru let all of this sink in, then opened his eyes.

“Really…? It's a bother…”

“Do you guys need help training?” asked Rouyakan out of the blue. Asuma looked surprised.

“I'm just saying, shouldn't Shikamaru spar against different opponents before the match?”

“…I guess.”

“All right, we get to show off our skills!” yelled Alex and Cassie.

“Okay, you girls can spar with Shikamaru.” chuckled Asuma at the girls enthusiasm. Asuma then looked at Shikamaru who had on a `Are you crazy?' look.

“Come on Shikamaru, we'll fly to the training grounds!” said Alex as she grabbed Shikamaru and ran outside with her scythe. She then mounted her scythe, shoved Shikamaru on the back of it and took off. (A/N: Poor Shikamaru…)

“Come on Cassie, let's go catch up with her!” called Rouyakan as she and Cassie got up from the table.

“We'll meet you at the training grounds!” Cassie waved to the others.

“Come on Cassie!” yelled Rouyakan, transforming into her true form, which was a giant wolf-like creature. She began to run and jumped into the air, followed by Cassie on her broom.

~*With Alex and Shikamaru*~

“Woohoo, isn't this fun?” yelled Alex to Shikamaru, who looked like he was going to be sick. As soon Alex landed at the training grounds, Shikamaru proceeded to kiss the ground. Rouyakan landed a minute later and transformed back into her hybrid form, Cassie landing beside her. A few minutes later, Asuma came, followed by Choji.

“I'll go first.” said Alex as she rested her scythe on her shoulder.

“Okay. These will be short five minute battles so we don't wear Shikamaru out.” Asuma explained.

“'Kay!” said Alex as she charged at Shikamaru. “Death Slash!” She swung her scythe down as a black wind blade came whirling towards him.

`Oh shit!' thought Shikamaru as he barley dodged the wind blade. It nicked his shoulder. The pain was intense; it felt like his wound was being stabbed over and over again. Shikamaru saw that the blade was just a really sharp shadow. He managed to paralyze Alex with his shadow technique and then it was Cassie's turn.

She used her two of swords. As the swords were flying towards him, he used his shadow technique and stopped the swords in their tracks, making them fall to the ground, useless, beating Cassie. Now it was Rouyakan's turn. She wasn't planning to go easy on Shikamaru, so she turned into her true form and poceeded to charge Shikamaru. He managed to just stop Rouyakan in her tracks by controlling her shadow.

He put his hand in a hand seal, and in about a second Shikamaru realized he was out of chakra, and proceeded to jump into the bushes like a deer.

The girls found Shikamaru with his butt in the air and arms over his head. The girls laughed. Shikamaru got up and dusted himself off. Asuma came over and asked, “What's wrong, Shikamaru? Can't do it anymore?”

Shikamaru turned his head to the side and said, “Shut up.” The girls laughed.

Since Shikamaru couldn't train anymore the girls wished him luck in his upcoming match and went back to join Naruto and Jiraiya. When they got back they noted that the two didn't even notice they had gone, and they were still arguing.

Soon it was sunset and Jiraiya was finished looking at the girls on the other side of the bushes. He stood up and said, “I'm bored. Hey, Naruto, the girls are gone. Let's get back to Konoha.” said Jiraiya as he began to walk away.

“Huh, no way. I need a little more time. Just a while longer!” pleaded Naruto.

“Naruto, you're going to exhaust yourself. Just come on…” yawned Alex.

“I'm hungry,” added Jiraiya. “And tired too.”

“You didn't do anything, though!” said a slightly annoyed Naruto.

Jiraiya got mad and yelled, “You should be thankful that I'm willing to stay and train you!”

Naruto looked afraid and had a look that said, `He's gone crazy!'

Rouyakan then spoke up. “Though he does have a point. You did nothing except look at the girls on the other side of the bushes and try and grope us.”

“Shut up.” said Jiraiya, a bit ashamed.

Naruto snickered, and idea coming to him.

“I know! Sexy-no-Jutsu!” Naruto turned into the cute girl again smiled. Jiraiya looked super happy and the girls just sighed at Jiraiya's stupidity. Naruto also sighed and changed back into his normal self.

“What, it's over already?” Jiraiya looked disappointed.

“God, were you mother-deprived or something? I mean, you go after every girl. You even go after Naruto and he's a boy. I'm starting to think you're gay.” said Alex.

“I'm not gay!” yelled Jiraiya.

“Okay, okay, you can show me.” he said to Naruto.

“I'm starting.” said Naruto as he began to do the hand seals, said the name, and smoke appeared. When the smoke cleared they saw a…

“That's great!” yelled Naruto before the smoke cleared.

“Baka! Wait till the smoke clears.” Rouyakan growled. The smoke cleared and Jiraiya began to yell again.

“You can go to hell! You have no talent at all!”

“Damn, that's a bit harsh, don't you think?” Cassie winced.

“Look carefully!” said Naruto, pointing at the supposed `frog'. Jiraiya looked, then his face went blank. They all saw a tadpole… with back legs.

“Good job Naruto, you're getting better!” said Alex happily as she clapped her hands.

“Thank you, thank you!” said Naruto as he bowed. “I owe it all to being a great shinobi!”

Jiraiya started yelling again. “You big baka, can't you grow a normal frog?!”

“Shut up! This one is at least better than the previous ones!” yelled Naruto.

“Screw this! I'm gonna go to Naruto's apartment and get some sleep.” said Alex, annoyed at the two's bickering.

“Same.” Rouyakan began to walk off.

“Yeah…” agreed Cassie, and the three made their way back to the apartment and left Naruto and Jiraiya to bicker amongst themselves.

“Jackasses…” muttered Rouyakan.
