A couple days later, a tall and well-built man in adulthood with fair skin. He has waist-length, spiky white hair that he usually ties back into a ponytail, with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face appears in Taki. There were red lines under his eyes which extended further down his face as he got older, going all the way to the bottom by the time he was an adult. By the time he was middle-aged, he developed wrinkles around the corners of his mouth and a wart on the left side of his nose.

His usual attire consisted of a green short shirt kimono and matching pants, under which he wore mesh armour that is visible at his wrists and ankles. He also wears hand guards, a black belt, traditional Japanese wooden sandals, and a red haori with two yellow circles on each side. He often carried a large scroll on his back, and had a tattoo on his left palm, and he wore a horned hitai-ate with the kanji for "oil" (油), which denoted his affiliation with Mount Myoboku.

This man is named Jiraiya. He is one of Konohagakure's Sannin. He then appears in front of Fuu's house. Naruto looks at everyone who is away: Fuu, Sasuke, and Sakura. All though, Sasuke is still in some pain from the seal. The Uzumaki whispers, "Someone's here. I can hear them."

Jiraiya is somewhat shocked, and then knocks on the door in front of him. Naruto then answers the door, and asks, "Who are you?"

The man, while doing some poses answers, "Me? Well, I'm the infamous Toad-Sennin of Konoha. The wooer of women, and revered by men. I am a member of the Legendary Sannin. For my name is Jiraiya!"

Naruto then asks, "Why are you here, Pervy Sage?"

Jiraiya answers, "I disrespect! I swear! Anyway, everyone on missions have been recalled back to Konoha. Anyway, what happened here?"

This is when Kakashi wakes up. He replies, "Orochimaru happened. He wanted Taki's Hero Water, and Sasuke Uchiha, as he bit him. That is when a seal appeared over the bite mark."

Jiraiya smirks, as he says, "First Zabuza? Now Orochimaru? Quite a record, but Sensei will be furious about this, Kakashi."

Kakashi playfully responds, "Ma Ma, Jiraiya-sama. I can't help it that one of us have extremely bad luck."

Jiraiya smiles. He says, "In anyway, Sensei has recalled everyone on a mission. We are in trouble of invasion by Oto, Suna, and Kumo."

Shibuki then awakes. He says, "Bring Fuu with you. She deserves to be happy, and I can tell she is happy with Naruto."

Jiraiya looks at Shibuki in shock. He asks, "Are you really going to give you Jinchuuriki to Konoha?"

Shibuki nods. He answers, "Yes. While going through my father's files, I found an Old marriage contract between him, and the Yondaime Hokage. The contract states that Fuu, and Naruto shall be married when they both hit the rank of Gennin. Apparently, Sandaime-sama knew of this, and messaged me that Naruto hit the rank of Genin."

Naruto asks, "Why would the Yondaime do that? I mean he already put a fox in me, now he decides who I marry?"

He then hears Jiraiya, who whispers, "Shit! I guess I have to tell him about you, and Kushina earlier than expected. Oh well."

Naruto says, "Pervy Sage, I heard that."

Jiraiya sighs. He says, "Naruto, I'm your godfather. I trained your Tou-san, Minato Namikaze. Kushina Uzumaki is his wife, and your Kaa-chan."

Naruto, with a shaky voice asks, "Did... Did they... Ya know, love me?"

Jiraiya answers, "I never saw them happier than when they found out that Kushina was pregnant with you."

Naruto asks, "Why weren't you their for me when I was younger?"

Jiraiya shamefully answers, "I am Konoha's foremost Spy Master, and I take pride in that title. I run a spy network to protect Konoha from her enemies. Running it takes up most of my time, but I was the one who paid for your apartment every month. I got you Gama-chan for your birthday. I got you that orange tracksuit."

Naruto asks, "Kakashi-sensei, did you know?"

Kakashi nodded, and answers, "Minato-sensei was my Jounin-sensei. He had me guard Kushina-kaa-chan when she was pregnant with you. Naruto, you acted just like her. She was loud, headstrong, impulsive, eccentric, and stubborn girl. Kushina-kaa-chan was also talkative and tomboyish. When you were younger I was the ANBU that protected you?"

Naruto just nods at everything he just heard. He says, "Let's go back home to Konoha."

As he is walking out of Fuu's home, he asks, "Fuu-chan, you coming?"

Jiraiya then turns to Shibuki, and says, "This better not get out to the world."

Shibuki replies, "On my honor as Village Head of Taki, this secret will die with me."

The six then leave Taki.
