NARUTO:The sealed shinobi.-Chapter 152: CH

A smirk adorned the female kage's face, "I'll leave that one a mystery for you to discover when you leave here." She then sighed and placed the written report down, "Tenzo, what do you say about Naruto's performance on the mission?"

Tenzo took off his mask and smiled, "We're all alive aren't we Hokage-sama? Naruto did a great job. The second base in Kawa no Kuni (Land of Rivers) was a bonafide death trap, but we worked it out in the end."

Naruto didn't look as pleased as Tenzo did over the whole thing, "It worked out if you call taking out a bunch of grunts a successful mission. Five months of travelling and searching and we didn't find anything on the guy that I didn't already know. We probably tipped him off about what we were doing too. I've got to find him and kill him before he can switch bodies with the Uchiha... or kill the Uchiha, which would work out too. Where's Ero-sennin? The next time we do this he needs to come with us so he can fight the snake himself."

Tsunade averted her eyes, "Yeah, about that. He came back while you were gone and asked me where you were. He was actually kind of pissed off when I couldn't tell him where you were because I didn't know. He said to summon him to you whenever you got back and heard this from me."

Naruto gave her a strange look, "How the hell am I going to do that?"

Tsunade shrugged, "He said to summon a toad and tell them to come get him."

Naruto didn't know what the hell that was going to do, but listened to his order, biting him thumb and making the hand-seals, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)!"

In a puff of smoke a toad around Naruto's size appeared, "Hey bro! How ya doin? It's been a while!" Naruto smiled, "Long time no see Gamakichi. I've been super busy these days, but hey listen, could you get Ero-sennin for me, whatever that means."

Gamakichi nodded, "Sure thing nii-san, I'll get him back here in a second." With that the toad vanished in another puff of smoke.

The four ninja just stayed where they were in the office silently wondering what to do now. "So..." Naruto started, "What's new around here these days?"

Before Tsunade could answer, Jiraiya appeared in a puff of smoke in the middle of the office with a small elderly looking toad by his feet, "Now remember to visit me and ma again soon Jiraiya-chan. And bring that apprentice of yours next time."

That got Naruto's attention. Why would any of the toads actually want to meet him? From his experience with Gamabunta he usually hated being summoned unless it was for binge drinking purposes. Jiraiya gave the toad a grin, "I'll be sure to do that next time. Why don't you meet him yourself right now? He's just over there." He said, pointing at Naruto.

The old toad looked Naruto over, seemingly appraising his worth or whatever. That was certainly what it looked like to him anyway. He finally smirked at Naruto, "He looks as if he'll do just fine. Be sure to bring him when you think he's ready."

Ready for what, more secrets damn it? And badly kept ones at that? Why did being a ninja have to be so enigmatic only when it was annoying to him? Jiraiya nodded, "Will do Fukasaku. Tell Shima I said goodbye."

The old toad 'Fukasaku' nodded before vanishing in smoke. Jiraiya turned to Naruto and gave him a toothy grin, "Well now gaki, did you have fun? Kill some Oto ninja did you?"

Naruto rubbed the back of his head, "Well yes, not the ones I needed to though. What was that all about by the way?"

Jiraiya chuckled, "Even the sannin have to train too kid. I went to Mt. Myoboku since you were off gallivanting across the globe to raid and pillage." He then hooked an arm around Naruto shoulder and looked at Tsunade, "Can I steal this kid away from your debriefing since you've got these other two with you?" Not waiting for an answer he grabbed the boy and jumped out the window with him, "Thanks a lot hime!"

XxX

Jiraiya took Naruto to the top of the Hokage Monument and found the boy incredibly amused when they arrived there, "They put baa-chan's face up here while I was gone. She's so lucky I wasn't here or I would have made a spectacle out of it." He now paid attention to Jiraiya who looked to be in full serious mode, "So what do you have for me now Ero-kyofu?"
