Chapter 2

Jiraiya was currently facing something so horrible, so frightening, and possibly suicidal if he keeps trying to talk his way out of it. What could Jiraiya possibly be doing that was so frightening and horrific you may ask? Well the answer was quite simple.

"No! We just became a couple! And now You want us to be separated for an ENTIRE MONTH!? JUST FOR SOME STUPID SAGE TRAINING!? I REFUSE TO ALLOW IT!"

The answer ladies and gentlemen, was the feminine fury of a girl. Now keep in mind that this wasn't any other girl. This girl was a super powered vampire with the power to quite easily destroy a normal human being. Now of course when dealing with Shinobi, it would be understandingly tougher to kill them. Seeing as Shinobi seem to defy all logic. (seriously these guys REALLY defy logic. I mean bringing the dead back to life WTF!? O_O)

Now you might be asking why Shiroi was so angry. Again the answer was oh so simple. Let's start at the beginning shall we?

After Jiraiya had left Naruto and Shiroi alone for their quality time. As he called it, though he just wished for his student to man up and lose his virginity already. ANYWAY (shame on you Jiraiya for having such naughty thoughts) getting back on track, He called upon the elder sage toad Fukasaku or as he called him pa. (He called upon the elder toad sage after he finished peeking on some hot-springs.)

And Jiraiya immediately got to business, and stated he wanted him to train Naruto in Senjutsu chakra. After he mastered wind manipulation training of course. And with the way Naruto used Shadow clones, he had no doubt he would master wind manipulation in about... Two months tops. This led to a small argument on whether or not Naruto was ready for sage training or not.

After SEVERAL hours of debate, pa agreed to teach Naruto the ways of the sage IF he deemed him worthy. After that pa simply vanished in a poof of smoke. Than Jiraiya decided to see how his student and new girlfriend were doing.

The scene he saw when he reached the spot where he left them made him giggle in a perverted manner. Hey! Don't look at Jiraiya like that, you would probably giggle to if you saw your student and his girlfriend cuddling in their sleep.

And I don't mean the normal kind of cuddles, I'm talking about the one where you are quite literally grinding against each other. The soft moans they were unconsciously releasing were not helping either. Thankfully they still had their clothes on, otherwise Jiraiya would have died of a nose-bleed. He tried pulling them apart so that he may drag them to town and put them to bed.

Only problem was every time he tried Shiroi would unconsciously try to kick him in the crotch.

So he was forced to make camp their for the rest of the night. He may seem irresponsible, but he would never leave his student and his girlfriend alone in the forest. After all their were a lot of shady characters out there. Though he doubted they would get far what with Shiroi unconsciously attacking him in her sleep.

So he set up a tent, a fireplace, and sleeping bags. Once satisfied he attempted to place Naruto and Shiroi into a sleeping bag... Again Shiroi unconsciously attacked him in her sleep. But Jiraiya being stubborn kept trying for several minutes, before suddenly a knife whizzed past his crotch. He was as pale as a ghost when that happened, And he wisely backed off after seeing Shiroi unconsciously reach into her pouch for another knife.

He decided to just fuck it and go to bed. summoning a toad to keep watch while they slept. After that his dreams were a blur of hot-springs, women, and sake.

The next morning, he woke up refreshed. He moved out of the tent to be treated to the sight of Naruto and Shiroi groggily waking up with somewhat aching backs, understandable since they slept on the ground.

However their was no need to worry as Kyuubi was already healing Naruto's back, while Shiroi's own vampire healing factor kicked in. Than all of their stomach's rumbled, signifying it was time for breakfast. (though Shiri claimed that her stomach did not rumble as she was a lady, and it was unlady like should that happen.)

Jiraiya being the gentlemen that he was, created some clones to hunt for some meat, while he got the fire ready with a small fire style Jutsu. Several minutes later, his clones returned with couple dead rabbit, and some deer. (Kyuubi was inwardly jumping for joy, at thought of his container eating rabbits.) After they had cooked the meat, breakfast was a quiet affair with small talk now and than.

After Jiraiya was done., and Naruto just finishing, while Shiroi was still eating taking her time with her meal. Jiraiya began proposing his new training regime for Naruto.

First they would polish up on what he learned the past six months, and wrap it all up with a few more lessons and mastering the current wind Jutsu he had given him. Than they would begin his wind manipulation, and possibly finish complete the Rasengan.

When Naruto asked what he meant by that, Jiraiya explained that the Rasengan was an incomplete Jutsu as the Yondaime was planning on adding an elemental affinity to it. The very prospect of completing the Rasengan excited Naruto beyond belief. Than they would teach him the art of meditation. When asked why Jiraiya quickly explained that he would need it. Than he would send him to Mount Myoboku for a few months to begin his sage training.

Now this was around the same time as Shiroi finished her breakfast, not paying attention to the conversation in favor of savoring her meal.

However she finished just as Jiraiya said something about sage training. When she asked what he meant by that, Jiraiya thinking Shiroi heard the whole conversation quickly explained that he was sending Naruto to Mount Myoboku for a few months to begin his sage training. Which led to Shiroi's reaction almost instantly.

"No! We just became a couple! And now You want us to be separated for an ENTIRE MONTH!? JUST FOR SOME STUPID SAGE TRAINING!? I REFUSE TO ALLOW IT!"

Which led to Jiraiya dodging a various assortment of things being thrown at him, while also trying to talk his way out of this situation. Naruto himself began shivering in fear of Shiroi's wrath, a sentiment shared by the Kyuubi. No the Kyuubi wasn't afraid, he was... Cautious! Yes cautious that's the word.

"WAIT SHIROI! STOP THROWING THINGS FOR A MINUTE AND LET ME EXPLAIN! HOLY SHIT WAS THAT A COW!?" Jiraiya exclaimed. "MOOO!" The cow mooed as it flew threw the air... Where the hell did she get a cow...? Don't answer that question, it'll just confuse us more than we already are.

Jiraiya opened his mouth to speak again, but his eyes widened in pure fear when Shiroi summoned her most dreaded weapon... The frying pan... A female's ultimate weapon of retribution. Jiraiya screamed like a little girl as the frying flew towards at speeds that would make even the Yondaime jealous. It was in slow motion as the frying pan slammed into Jiraiya's face.

Time seemed to stop for a moment, before it fast forwarded, and Jiraiya was forced to do cart wheels in mid-air because of the force of the blow. The toad sannin landed on the ground with a loud thud. Jiraiya pathetically moaned in pain as he got up. "What the hell are you trying to kill me!?" He exclaimed with an accusing finger pointed towards Shiroi.

Shiroi merely stared blankly at Jiraiya... You know, thinking about it now... It wouldn't be that good of a thought to kill Jiraiya. Because not only would Akaktsuki be all over Naruto with Jiraiya, but also WHO would train Naruto? Though she didn't like it, Jiraiya was the best bet for training Naruto.

She just had to make sure he didn't try corrupting him when she wasn't looking. You hear that Jiraiya? She's watching you, like a damn hawk.

"No ero-Jiji. I'm just a little angry that your planning on taking away Naruto-kun for three months, after we just became a couple." She huffed.

"Hey wait a minute! When did I say that!?" Jiraiya yelled in confusion.

"You said you were taking away Naruto-kun for a whole three months! Don't you dare lie to ME!" She snapped.

"Um, Shiroi-chan? How much of our conversation did you hear?" Naruto spoke, now sure that Shiroi wrath was somewhat sedated.

Shiroi titled her head in a cute and confused manner. "To be honest all I heard was something about sage training, and a few months." She sheepishly answered. Jiraiya twitched before he sighed.

"First I'm going to give Naruto the basics of wind manipulation, than we're going to train him in that for at least two months. Than I'm gonna give Naruto some lesson on meditation for however long it takes, after that THAN I'll take Naruto to Mount Myoboku." He explained.

Shiroi blinked, before she sheepishly chuckled. "Sorry." She said with a bright smile. Two months she had with Naruto, even though he would be gone to begin this sage training, she had no problem with it. Though a part of her wanted to go with Naruto, but... She didn't want to seem selfish. But she can't help but wish to be able to go to Mount Myoboku with him... She didn't want to be alone again.

Jiraiya seeing the sad look in her eyes for the splint second it was there, made a mental note to speak with pa, and see if she could be allowed in Mount Myoboku as a visitor.

"Before we get to traveling once again, Do you guys want to buy some things in town or just browse to see if you'd want anything. This is your last chance." He asked. Shiroi shook her head no, having already browsed through the stores during their stay. However surprisingly Naruto nodded his head thoughtfully. Jiraiya rose an eyebrow. While Shiroi looked curious.

"Well out with it gaki." Jiraiya said with a tinge of curiosity in his voice.

"Well during our stay here, I saw something in a weapons shop that looked interesting, but I didn't have time to examine it well enough." The young blonde said. Jiraiya put his hand on his chin, seeming to be debating whether or not he should allow Naruto to buy the interesting object he saw.

After several moments of debate, Jiraiya nodded, giving his student approval.

Naruto grinned, before he quickly ran into town. Both Shiroi and Jiraiya blinked, before they glanced at each other, and quickly followed the excited blonde.

After several minutes of both Shiroi and Jiraiya looking for Naruto, they caught a glimpse of him entering a weapons store. They entered and were treated to an assortment of weapons of various types, and sizes. However they payed them any mind as they quickly found Naruto who was at the front desk, paying special attention to a pair of bracers on the walls.

The bracers were somewhat interesting to them, and a little strange.

they consisted of what seemed to be a retractable blade, that appeared to be in conjunction with a protective bracer. As such, it seemed the retractable blade could be discreetly extended or retracted, making it a valuable tool for assassinations. (The hidden blade's from assassin's creed except without the assassin's insignia.)

They had no idea what it was capable of, but it didn't seem capable if much seeing how it was so old and rusted.

Naruto however seemed to be intently watching the bracers as if they would disappear at any moment, he had no idea why, but he felt drawn to those bracers. He felt the Kyuubi's presence in his mind once again , seeming to come right when he was confused or needing a little help.

"Teh, I'm surprised their were even of pair of those left. The hidden blades. Truly useful when performing discreet assassinations." Kyuubi uttered. 'Kyuubi, you know what this is?' Naruto thought in surprise. "Of course I'm familiar with those things. A clan during the clan wars, and during the first, second, And third Shinobi wars used them quite often before they were nearly wiped out." Kyuubi gruffly explained. 'Specifically, the Uzumaki clan both created and used them often... Not that I would tell you that Naruto.' Kyuubi thought as he retreated into his cage.

"I see." Naruto whispered. He spent several more minutes gazing upon it, before he ringed the bell, and waited for the owner of the store to come along.

"Why would you want something like that Naruto? It looks like a huck of junk to me." Jiraiya gruffly said. Shiroi merely stared at the bracers, silently admiring them. Obviously Jiraiya did not know the sentimental value, and the time spent into making such a advanced type of weapon. It looked ancient, and yet more technologically advanced than anything in the elemental nations.

"How may I help you?" A raspy voice called out to them. An elderly gentlemen now stood in front of the counter, his grey hair falling just above his shoulders. While wrinkles were nearly all over his face and forehead. He wore a traditional red robes with blue feathers adorning the fabric.

"Yes you can, thank you for your time sir." Naruto politely began, during his training with Jiraiya, the elder toad summoner managed to beat respect for elders into Naruto's brain.

"I've got all the time in the world laddie, now what do you need?" The old man warmly said.

"Those bracers on the walls. How much are they?" Naruto asked.

"Oh! You've got a good eye lad. Not many people can see the true value of such a artfully crafted weapon like that. For years now it's just been sitting their , collecting dust. I'll tell ya what lad, I'll give to ya for free if you promise to repair it and use to it's full potential. Deal?" The elder offered with a old grin at the end.

Naruto gasped in disbelief, but after several minutes he hesitantly nodded. The elder smiled happily, before he removed the bracers from the wall, wrapped it around in a black cloth, and handed them to Naruto. "Remember your promise lad." The elder reminded.

Naruto nodded happily as sealed it into the storage seal he placed in his left arm.

Once that was done Jiraiya, Shiroi, and Naruto bid the elderly man farewell. And left the shop soon after that.

Leaving the town, Naruto couldn't help but wonder how he was going to repair the... Hidden blades? As Kyuubi called it. Yes, the hidden blades. He couldn't help but wonder how he was gonna repair something so complicated.

"Seriously, I don't understand why we wasted our time with something as useless as those." Jiraiya grumbled. Naruto twitched, Jiraiya complaints over the subject were really annoying him so far.

It seemed that sentiment was shared by Shiroi as well, as she spoke in a annoyed and slightly superior tone to Jiraiya. "Shut up ero-Jiji. You just can't understand something as incredible as those bracers Naruto-kun bought. They may seem ancient and useless, but if you looked at them closely you would see that they are more technologically advanced than anything in the elemental nations."

Jiraiya snorted "Please those things? Technologically advanced? Pfft and I'm the pedophile who likes little boys." He said.

While Shiroi and Jiraiya argued, Naruto tuned them out in favor of unsealing his newly acquired hidden blades, and examining them. He silently groaned. Just how was he gonna fix something like this?

Kyuubi purred in thought. He could help his container with his dilemma, but what would he gain out of it? He watched as dozens of thought's raced through his container's mind for several minutes, before he sighed. He could not believe he was doing this.

"Hey gaki." Kyuubi began.

Naruto froze at the Kyuubi's voice before he relaxed slightly. 'Yes?' Naruto answered in curiosity. "I know of a way to fix those hidden blades." The massive fox uttered. 'Really!' Naruto thought in excitement. "Yes." Was the Kyuubi's short response. Naruto was so engrossed in his conversation with Kyuubi that he never noticed Shiroi and Jiraiya stopping a few feet away from him and glancing at each other in confusion.

'Well how do we fix it?' The blonde thought.

"It's quite simple gaki. My chakra can heal you at alarming rates, what you don't know is that my chakra can heal or restore practically anything to it's original state." Kyuubi explained.

'You mean...?' Naruto trailed off.

"Yep. All you have to do is channel a little of my chakra into those blades and I can return them into their original state and maybe add a few enhancements as well." He explained in a bored tone.

'But what's in it for you?' Naruto suspiciously asked. "You are my container. And as my container, you represent me. So if you are seen as weak, than I am seen as weak. And I refuse to let that become a reality. Am. I. Clear.?" Kyuubi threateningly growled. Naruto nodded, not noticing when Jiraiya and Shiroi looked at him weirdly for doing so.

Kyuubi grinned. "Excellent. Now just channel my chakra into the hidden blades and let me do the rest." He ordered.

Naruto didn't waste any time in channeling a small sum of the Kyuubi's chakra into the bracers. Jiraiya's eyes widened at the actions, and he was about to scold him for such a reckless action, when he noticed Shiroi amazed expression. Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and looked towards Naruto bracers. And his jaw came loose at what he was seeing.

It was almost as if time were reversing for the bracers. The rust, dust, and somewhat broken area's were being repaired and being replaced with shiny new metal. The retractable blades lost their jagged ends, and their edge's became sharp once more, along with the point.

This continued for several more moments before the bracers looked as if they were never broken in the first place. Though everyone noticed a new addiction to it. On the top of the bracers, a large orange furred nine tailed fox was on it with a grinning snarl on it's face, while it's nine tails seemed to wrap around the owner's arm, seemingly to protect them.

Naruto quickly put them on. And he noticed something strange. The bracer's felt... Stronger than any metal he had ever seen or felt.

He experimentally flicked his wrists. And to the amazement of everyone except Kyuubi, a foot long blade extended from it. They all stared at it in awe and amazement. Naruto flicked his wrists once again, and the blade instantly retracted.

Shiroi was the first to snap out of her stupor and she gave Jiraiya a fanged grin. "So... How does it feel being pedophile?" She asked.

Jiraiya twitched. "Ok so I was wrong, now get off my back!" Jiraiya grumbled.

Shiroi giggled, before she turned her attention to Naruto only to see him flicking his wrists, testing his newly acquired blades, by having them extend and retract. Shiroi smiled at the expression of awe and fascination on his face.. She looked up towards the sky, things were getting interesting. "Naruto! Stop playing with the damn blades! And Shiroi get your ass over here! Let's get traveling already!" Jiraiya impatiently shouted.

Shiroi gave gave Jiraiya an annoyed look, before she stepped beside Naruto. Naruto gave her a bright smile, she returned it, and they both followed the perverted toad sannin.

Just as Jiraiya expected. It had taken only two months for Naruto to nearly master wind manipulation. After they had polished on what Naruto knew, Jiraiya had immediately began his elemental manipulation training.

At first it was frustrating and difficult for Naruto, even with the help of clones he still barely even got it down. The scrolls Jiraiya loaned him on wind manipulation weren't much help either. So Naruto as stubborn as he is of course kept trying, and every time he failed, he would become even more frustrated. Jiraiya didn't offer any advice, in his opinion it was a good learning experience for the boy. And in his words, he won't be able to hold his hand forever and while he's in a fight.

Shiroi however was a different matter entirely. She scolded Jiraiya on not giving Naruto he help he clearly needed. And she claimed that if he wasn't offering Naruto's help than she would help him. After that, she immediately went to help Naruto never seeing the smile on Jiraiya's face.

When she found Naruto, the stress and frustration was evident on his face. It just made more angry with the perverted toad hermit. However she shook herself of her anger and instead focused on how she was going to help Naruto. Seeing Naruto about to try again , she immediately stopped himby grabbing his hands, and forcing him to sit down.

Naruto eyed her in confusion as she began to give his shoulders a massage. He moaned in pleasure as she immediately of all his stiff joints and stress induced muscles.

While she gave a massage, Shiroi began to give her idea on why he was having such difficulty on his manipulation. Naruto listened, wanting her advice. She explained that he was trying to control wind instead of guiding it. Wind was just as alive as him and her, so wouldn't it make sense that wind wouldn't want to be controlled?

So She said to try and guide the wind, however do not attempt to control. Naruto did just that, and to his surprise and Shiroi's satisfaction, Naruto successfully managed to splint a leaf in half with wind chakra. Immediately a bright smile lit Naruto's face, before he gave Shiroi a deep kiss to her lips and thanked her repeatedly.

Shiroi waved him off, and said she was happy to help. Though she did muse that if a kiss was going to be her reward for every time she helped him, than maybe she should help him more often. Naruto of course being oblivious said he didn't have problem with it if that was what she wanted.

Shiroi smirked mischievously, and said why would she want that when she could take some kisses from hi whenever she wanted, and much.. Much more, the way she said made Naruto blush brightly as she looked at him with hungry, and predatory grin. After that it was simply a matter of creating a small army of clones to get to work.

After nearly two months, He had nearly mastered wind chakra. However he still wasn't at a level on where Jiraiya wanted him to be, but it was good enough he supposed. Jiraiya decided to have one extra month, before he would have pa begin Naruto's sage training. So He decided to have the extra month on having Naruto learn the art of meditation.

But for now, Naruto earned a day's rest. Which was why Naruto was currently in a hot-spring, while Jiraiya wondered around the small settlement. Probably looking for a brothel.

Naruto sighed in content as he sat in the hot-spring. These things were a blessing for all Shinobi, of that Naruto was sure of. After all, a Shinobi job wasn't easy most people assume that a Shinobi life was just training, and doing missions to both get the village money, and for the sake of glory. But Naruto realized that wasn't what a Shinobi was.

Shinobi were the protectors of their homes. They trained for the sake of the village so that if it were attacked than they would be strong enough to defend it. And Shinobi accepted missions from various clients, so that they may experience the world outside the village walls. So that they knew what they needed to protect the village from, that was the purpose of missions. They were to show other Shinobi that the world was all black and white, in the middle there was a shade of grey.

And that shade of grey is hardly ever seen in this world.

Naruto didn't know which side he belonged to. He wasn't in the white area seeing as there is no white in a Shinobi's career. He wasn't in the black area, seeing as he would never do such terrible things to others. Maybe he was apart of the grey but also leaning more towards the white.

He shook his head of such thoughts, he shouldn't be thinking of such things. Today he was supposed to relax, so he might as well start.

He heard the door to the hot-spring open, and he assumed that his perverted teacher had returned. So imagine his shock when he turned around and came face to face with a nude Shiroi who wore a towel covering her body. He blushed brightly at how beautiful at the moment, the way her wet form seemed to glisten, the way her pale skin seemed to shine against the water.

Her silvery white hair was out of her usual pig tails, letting flow freely down her back. Made her seem even more beautiful in his eyes. And finally her slitted pink eyes. Oh those eyes made her seem exotic, and more unique than anyone he had ever met.

"Shiroi-chan!" He began, finally snapping out of his stupor. "W-What are you doing!?" He stuttered. Shiroi rose an eyebrow. "Didn't you read the sign Naruto-kun? It's a mixed bath today." She explained.

Naruto tilted his head in thought, before his eyes widened. The owner of the springs said there was a mixed bath today but he didn't pay attention! He suddenly felt like banging his head against a wall but decided against it. He nervously turned to face Shiroi again... Only to see her giving him a predatory look as she grinned devilishly.

"Do you like what you see?" She began as she slowly stalked toward him, letting her towel fall as she reached into the water. It was fortunate for the young blonde that the mist was hiding Shiroi's form, though that didn't stop him from resembling a tomato at the moment. Once Shiroi was within three feet of him, She suddenly lunged at him.

Naruto couldn't even be surprised by the sudden movement, as she already straddled him, luckily for him she wasn't to close his "third" leg.

"Well? Do you like what you see Na-ru-to-kun?" She seductively whispered, purposely drawling out his name. By this point, Naruto was so red, that it would make tomato plot to assassinate him... If they were alive of course.

"I-I-I-I-" He couldn't even form a answer as his brain was frying from overload. Shiroi smirked in victory before she kissed him deeply. Naruto's mind blanked out, before he deepened the kiss on instinct.

"Hey gaki, I'm back-" Jiraiya froze in the middle of his sentence as he saw the scene in front of him.

Several moments later, he finally registered what he was seeing. Naruto and Shiroi were in the hot-spring, making out naked.

Shiroi and Naruto.

In the hot-spring.

Making out.

naked.

... He flew back outside the spring with nose-bleed of epic proportions. 'My student has finally become a man.' He thought with a grin, before he went into a blissful state of unconsciousness.

Back inside the spring. Naruto slowly separated from Shiroi "Did you hear something?" He asked in a daze.

"I didn't hear a thing." She whispered, before he pulled him in for another kiss with her tongue already forcing it's way into his mouth. She won't go to far with what she was doing. After all, she already swore that she wouldn't have sex with until he was fourteen. He was thirteen at the moment.

So she had to wait, after all patience was a virtue... Though she had to constantly fight her urges and hormones whenever she was around Naruto. But she can wait for a whole year? I mean a year isn't that long right?... Right...? 'Damn hormones and female urges.' She thought. Oh how she wished a year had gone by already.

Patience... She was really starting to hate that word.
