"Well? Come on Pervy Sage! I'm on pins and needles! What's this jutsu you're going to teach us?" Naruto asked excitedly. Naruto fluttered around Jiraiya firing off questions left and right.

I rolled my eyes at his behavior. Now then, I wonder what Sasuke's doing? I hope he's alright. And not too angry.

Maybe I should have let Naruto take this by himself. But Jiraiya said he wanted both of us. Why I wonder? Well he is a Sanin and my dad's sensei. This gives me a chance to ask more about my parents.

Like how they fell in love . . .

An image of gramps flashed across my face. I closed my eyes tightly, willing the emotions to stop. I mourned already and I'm over it. There's no need to reopen the wound.

"Alright, enough with the Pervy Sage already. You have no idea how amazing a guy I am do you?"

Naruto and I exchanged glances. "What? Amazingly pervy?" We answered in sync. Jiraiya's temple throbbed. "You two! Alright listen up!" He ran up the bridge we stood in front of.

He struck a pose. "The toad stage is only my cover. Now to reveal my true identity." He whipped his hair. "From the north to the south from the east to the west! Not even spirits can defeat this sanin. The white mane Toad Charmer! The red hot ninja who strikes fear into men! Master Jiraiya! Yes, I'm speaking of none other then myself!"

I sweat dropped along with my brother. "Is this guy for real?" I asked. Naruto shrugged. We walked on ahead, leaving him on the bridge. What a loser.

As we continued walking, Naruto babbled on again. "So the fact that such a big wit Pervy Sage chose us as his travelling companion must mean something right?! We must be a potential genius in the making! It's just like I always thought!"

Genius? Brain wise probably not. But . . . glancing at him out of the corner of my eye I smiled. He really is a genius in some sense.

"Well the truth is kid, a long time ago the Fourth Hokage used to be a disciple of mine." Naruto looked at him in confusion, I just looked at him casually, already knowing part of the reason.

"You two bear such a striking resemblance to the Fourth that it's almost laughable. Sorry, that's the only reason I got for you." I chuckled lightly. Liar.

Well I suppose not completely. "So wait, I'm like the Fourth?" Huh? Could he . . . He grinned and ran forward, full throttle laughing victoriously. "That's awesome!" He shouted in glee.

"If I'm like the Fourth Hokage that must mean I posses the same level of genius! I'm on my way to Hokage after all!" I sighed, standing next to Jiraiya. "Forgive my brother he's . . . . yeah he's just dumb."

Jiraiya nodded in agreement, but he smiled lightly. "Oh no I just stepped in dog poo!" My brother shouted. Jeez such grace,

Pervy Sage sighed. "The only similarities you share with the Fourth Hokage is big headedness and that spiky blonde hair of yours!" Naruto did not react well to that. "What was that you senile old perv!"

"You know you two are a lot a like." I commented. They both turned to me fast. "ARE NOT!" They shouted in unison. I smirked. Point proven.

Well I guess things will either be amusing, or annoying.

My bets on annoying.

Suddenly my mood went down. Oh god what did I agree to? I swear, if they push me over the edge I'll hit them.

And it will have chakra in it.

I hit my brother on his head roughly. He shouted in pain. "Quit that!" I demanded. He was just playing with the bells at a shrine we stopped by to rest. "Keep it up you'll be cursed." Jiraiya said.

"Hey, Pervy Sage. What kind of student was the Fourth Hokage?" Naruto asked. I looked at him, also interested in it.

"Well I think its safe to say he raised to greatness due to my tutelage. So to land me as a sensei, well lets just say you hit the jackpot okay?" He is so full of it. But . . . looking at him closely, he is strong.

Stronger then Kakashi-Sensei. And Sensei is incredibly strong. "So wait a second Pervy Sage, if that's true, who did you have as a Sensei?" Naruto asked after Jiraiya said that a good sensei gets good disciples.

I already knew the answer. "Who me? I first studied under the Third Hokage." I turned to see Naruto have three clones, playing with the giant bells. That idiot.

"This was back when the Third Hokage was still a young spring chicken." He said. I blinked. "The Hokage? A spring chicken?" All the Naruto's asked. "That's right. I was a young buck myself back then. Hehehe."

Naruto's flipped out and the bells fell. I watched as his clones disappeared and the bells fell on the original, making him fall down the step, wrapping him on the sheets attached to the bells.

Naruto laughed a bit. "I uh, got a little tangled up." He laughed. I sighed and jumped down next to him and untied him, holding the bells in my hands.

"So wait a second, if you two studied with Kakashi, that means you must have gone through the bell training, am I right?" He asked. Now this I was curious about. How'd he know?

"Huh? Yeah I did. Forgot about that. Only I was tied to a stump. Man I forgot how bad that sucked." He grumbled. I chuckled at the memory. "What? You too huh?" Oh! Kakashi must have learned that from the Fourth, who learned it from Jiraiya, who learned it from the Third if he was also tied to the stump.

Pft. He must be more similar to Naruto then I thought.

I wonder what he was like at our age.

Jiraiya chuckled as Naruto and I put the bells back, making Naruto excited as he questioned him.

Of course he brushed them off and we continued. We soon made it to a busy town, that's a little odd and a bit too lively for my liking.

It's really weird.

Jiraiya had us stop for a moment outside an inn. Naruto and I looked around the town. It's like a giant mess of tourism. "Naruto, Miyuna." Hm? We turned to Jiraiya. "We're crashing here tonight."

I nodded and walked over. "What?! But why? I can still walk!" Naruto protested loudly. "A disciple should always obey his master." Jiraiya scolded as I reached him.

Naruto huffed, walking towards us. "Look, I just want to learn some jutsu, okay?" He complained. "Yeah, no kidding. That's what makes you a disciple. Hm?" He looked ahead.

Naruto and I followed his line of vision to a beautiful woman how was walking by.

Emphasis on beautiful. She's gorgeous. Sneaking a glance at the boys, I sighed at the look on their faces. They are embarrassing.

She winked our way. The two buffoons were giggling madly and Jiraiya jogged in place. "Naruto, Miyuna! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!" I kicked the two of them harshly, making them crash into the ground.

They sat up fast, glaring at me. I returned it. "You two are embarrassing to be around. We did not come here to ogle at women! Remember? We're looking for someone?" I tried, but they turned their attention back to the girl.

Now that I'm looking at her, she kind of looks like Haku. Pervy Sage placed a key in Naruto's hand. "Here's the room key. I want you two to go right up to the room, train for a little bit, work on your chakra, then get to bed okay."

My temple throbbed in annoyance. Oh come on! Are all men like this?

Can't be, Sasuke's not. Although it's difficult for him to show an interest in women, personally I thought he was either gay or asexual before.

I kicked the perv in the shin, making him fall again. "You are so annoying!" I roared in anger. Despite my rage, Naruto and I went up to the room. I sat on the window sill, legs dangling over the edge, as Naruto was working on his chakra on the bed.

That woman . . . there was something off about her.

Naruto was grumbling about how this happens every time with the perv. He's still pouting. I rolled my eyes and gazed at the weird town.

Naruto summoned two clones and continued brooding while training. "Starting to think he has no interest in training me at all." He grumbled.

I rolled my eyes. "Of course. What do you expect of a pervert. He is one of the Three Legendary Sanin though."

Naruto looked at me curiously, still concentrating. "What's that? How do you know?" He asked. I shrugged. "It's no secret, I didn't even have to go through his file. He's well known throughout the village, same with Orochimaru and Tsunade. The Three Legendary Sanin. My guess is that we're looking for Tsunade."

I'm not sure why, but I think they want her to become the Fifth Hokage. I mean, even if we're all saddened by the Hokage's death, we need one. We need one before the other countries attack.

Without a Hokage we're vulnerable.

What better then to appoint a Sanin as Hokage?

More and more Naruto clones kept on popping up. What is he even doing? I sweat dropped as his clones went to sleep. Really now? Here I am, trying to figure out the situation while Naruto's clones are sleeping, the original is sulking, and the pervy Sanin is out there flirting around doing god knows what.

Who's the adult on this little expedition anyway?

A familiar chakra entered my senses and I perked up. Sasuke? He can't be here. But that's clearly his scent.

What the heck? A knock sounded at the door. Naruto's clones disappeared. We glanced at each other.

I hoped onto the floor and headed to the door, when a chakra scent came. That scent! I opened the door and froze.

"Is it Pervy Sage? Did you get dumped already?" Naruto asked from within the room. My mouth went dry, my chest clenched, and my stomach dropped as I stared into familiar eyes.

"Miyu? Who is it?" I ignored my brother and continued staring at the man.

Swallowing the lump in my throat, I spoke.

"Itachi."
