Chapter 15 - Stay Away

Kakashi was summoned to meet hiruzen and after being briefed on what had happened, he rushed to find naruto .

" What is going on in that brats head ? "

" Yo ...is that you kakashi ? "

While kakashi was in his way to narutos apartment , he was stopped by jiraya .

" Jiraya sensei !? You are back "

" Oho ...you have grown up now , when are you planning to settle down kid "

" ...."

" Still stubborn as ever ...you should learn from me , kakashi ! "

" Sensei is there something else you want to talk about ... actually with you here maybe we can talk about naruto "

" Relax , sensei already told me about naruto , ill check up on him . Also i am thinking of taking naruto with me ... For training "

" Really !? "

Kakashi was shocked , jiraya wasnt just anyone but one of the legendary sannin , maybe there were only a handful of individual that can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

And now , a figure who had mentored the Forth hokage was willing yo take naruto under his tutelage . Kakashi was shocked and happy for Naruto at the same time .

" Great Great ... Honestly jiraya sama , i dont think i am cut out to be an instructor . Naruto and sasuke both have great potential and i am afraid that i am not capable enough ... Maybe with you there , Naruto will reach his potential"

Kakashi bowed as he expressed his thanks .

" Ahh ..its not kid ,and dont be so hard on yourself , you know it and i know it , You have more potential than you known kakashi . Minato was great at identify talent , in terms of this i am afraid even i wasnt as good as minato "

Kakashi remembered his sensei and nodded slowly .

" Alright enough mopping around , come and join me , its been a while i returned to the village . Hey hey .... Ill give you the new book i have been writing "

Kakashi who was about to leave , stopped in his tracks and quietly sat down .

Jiraya grinned as he took down another cup and grabbed a piece of meat .

....

Naruto and kumi were sleeping, naked and covered in fluids and with their flushed faces it was easy enough to tell what had transpired last night was a long and steam session of hard work .

Sudden , kumi who was asleep , woke up with a start and her body vanished into soecks of golden light .

( Master someone is coming !! He is strong !! )

Naruto jumped out of his bed , as he felt kumi enter his body and when he heard her words , he reacted fast as he made shadow clones and cleaned his bed .

Naruto didnt want anyone to finding out about kumi and their nightly activities .

Especially someone from konoha , as it could effect his relationship with hinata .

Naruto got ready and instead of waiting for this person / threat to arrive , he jumped out of his window and took out a kunai . Ready to act any moment .

' Is it Orichimaru... Nah he wouldn't risk exposing himself soo early ... Then who ?

If kumi says he is strong , there are only a handful ... Oh .... Its that pervert '

As jiraya got closer , Naruto was able to see his figure and seeing the long white hair .

Jiraya was also suprised to see Naruto waiting for him , a hint of doubt appeared in his mind .

' did he sense my chakra ... Wait even if he did i havent met him for more than a decade '

' Looks like the old mans was right , something has changed about him '

Jiraya arrived and stood in front of Naruto silently.

Both of them checking each other out .

" Jiraya ? " Naruto asked .

A hunt of suprise flashed before jirayas eyes .

" Uh...yes . How did you know ? "

" Kurama told me "

Naruto answered .

As this was the only way he could explain the change , knowing the story , he could manipulate the plot as he saw fit .

" Kurama ? " Jiraya asked .

" I am afraid i dont know any such shinobi "

Naruto smiled " oh he is not a shinobi , but he knows you , he knew my parents and told me all about you guys "

Jiraya's eyes narrowed as he looked at naruto to find if he was telling the truth ... No more importantly how did he know soo much and who was this kurama .

Jiraya racked his brain but still couldnt come up with an answer .

Helpless , he looked towards naruto for answers .

Naruto shook his head .

" Jiraya , one of the legendary sannins , mentor of the forth hokage , minato namikaze .

Yet despite all of that , you failed .

Why would i want to talk to you ?

My parents sacrificed their life to protect the village without a single thought ...

Do you know why !!? "

Naruto asked in a voice that showed he was suppressing his rage .

Jiraya was suprised when he heard these words coming out of naruto .

" You know !? ..but how !!? "

" Heh .. why do you care ? And why now ? .. oh yeah you havent answered my question jiraya , the great toad sage "

Naruto looked at jiraya with cold eyes and demanded an answer

An answer which jiraya didnt have .

Jiraya shook his head as he looked at naruto with guilt and regret .

Naruto clicked his tongue

" Jiraya ... You were supposed to be my godfather , minato and kushina died to save me as they had faith ...faith in you to take care of me .

But what did you do ?

You left , me , the village , your duty and your honor behind "

Hearing the hard cold facts from a thirteen year olds mouth made jiraya speechless as he was forced to look down .

" And wow ...now you show up .

Why ? Because you failed ... Failed to find the choosen child of destiny . Yeah i know about that , minato told me ... Yeah i met him. He had the heart to split a part of his and kushinas soul and sealed them away in the nine trigram seal . They asked me about how i was living , they asked how you have been doing ... You know .

I told them the truth you see , i told them i have never met you , how i was tagged as the demon child , how i was hated by the villagers and how the third renegade on his promise .

I know everything , but i dont care about these thing anymore .

I dont care about you or that old man .

So leave .

Oh yeah ...minato told me something "

Jiraya having heard everything was stunned speachless , his body trembling as regret and guilt settled inside his heart .

He clenched his fist as he waited for naruto to finish .

Naruto waited but didnt continue, jiraya felt anxious as he looked up at naruto and met his eyes .

" Good , he wanted me to look straight into your eyes and say this .. stay away from naruto ... Oh yeah kushina also wanted to say something but .. its not words but this ..."

Naruto raised his hand and gave jiraya the middle finger .

Jiraya eyes became moist as he stayed rooted on the spot .

Naruto looked at jiraya as if he was disgusted by his presence .

" Go .. leave ... You choose this and live with it .

I dont need you in my life .

Ill creat my own , my own family and ill try to live up to my parents expectations and hopefully be a better human being "

Naruto didnt even look back as he jumped down and entered his apartment.

Jiraya who was standing on the neighbours roof was left without anything .

No words , no love , no naruto .

Regret and guilt overwhelmed him as he left .

He had nothing left now .
