Chapter 13: The search

Naruto was sitting outside Sakura's door, waiting for the first chance to go inside and comfort Sakura for anything that could've wrecked her.

Sasuke was also outside, wanting to know who did this to Sakura but he had a pretty good idea.

'This better not be any of your doing... brother.' Sasuke thought.

Kakashi was also outside the room, reading his book, but he seems disturbed, a clear sign is that he's eyes are focused on the door more than it was focused on the book.

Finally the doctor came out and every stood up.

"How is she doctor?" Naruto asked nervously, like one of those drama shows where a woman asked the doctor if the man is ok, only for the doctor to say 'no' (Sorry, got off topic).

The doctor shook his head. "She's..." he didn't get to finish.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Naruto screamed.

The doctor seemed shock. "I didn't say anything." he said.

"Yeah I know but..." Naruto stopped. "Continue..."

The doctor sighs. "I'm afraid she's..."

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" this time, Naruto and Sasuke screamed 'no'.

The doctor was shocked again. "What is it this time?" he asked.

"Well, you said that you 'afraid' that she's..." Naruto said, making hand gesture for 'carry on'.

The doctor cleared his throat. "Well, it seems Sakura is under a coma and a genjutsu, we couldn't track how to get rid of the genjutsu, so we could only wait and hope that the genjutsu wear off." the guy said.

Naruto looked down. "Can I... at least see her?" he asked, the doctor nodded and let Naruto to enter.

Naruto looked at Sakura who wasn't in any better position than last time, she still seem to be in pain as she muttered stuff that no one could understand.

"Sakura-Chan..." Naruto said, feeling pain for seeing Sakura in pain. "Is there any way we could help her, anyway at all?" Naruto asked.

"Maybe..." they all turned to see Jiraiya.

"Pervy sage?" Naruto asked in surprised.

"Guess I'm lucky that I heard you scream in agony." Jiraiya said with a slight laugh.

Naruto growled. "This is no time to laugh! Sakura-Chan is..."

"I know what's wrong with her, I heard everything." Jiraiya said as he walked closer. "I think I might know the person that can help, but it will be hard." Jiraiya said.

"What? Why would it be hard?" Kakashi asked.

"Because... she and I... don't really see eye to eye... literally, she's a foot or so shorter than me... but that's not the case."

"Then what is the case!' Naruto yelled, his patience running out.

"Well for once, she doesn't really... 'Like' me that much due to my... super pervert status, she also doesn't want to return to Konoha for reasons unknown." Jiraiya said.

"Even so, we have to get her back, even if I have to beat her ass to do it!" Naruto yelled.

The moment of silence was ruin due to Jiraiya laughter.

"Hey... what's so funny!" Naruto yelled, ready to punch Jiraiya.

"Gaki, you don't even know her, so how will you beat her?" he asked. "She can literally beat you with one finger; it'll be like a workout for her." he said.

Naruto glared dagger at him. "It doesn't matter! I Don't care what it'll take, I'll get her back to the leaf village no matter what happen, I'll everything that I can to make her return." Naruto said with determination in his eyes.

Jiraiya looked at the boy as his laughter died out; he saw the determination in Naruto's eyes. He sighed. "If you want to save your girlfriend that badly, I'll take you to her and you can try to make her come back, if not, then we'll have to wait for Sakura here to wake up from the coma." Jiraiya said as he headed out.

"Wait!" they stopped and stared at Sasuke. "I'm coming too." he said.

"What?" Naruto asked in surprised.

Sasuke walked towards Naruto. "I know how important Sakura is to you, she's like a sister to me, almost the same as you are a brother to me... wow that sounded corny..." Sasuke said in disgust. "But nevertheless, I'm sure my brother is behind this, so I'm taking full responsibility for his actions." he said then turned to the door. "I'm coming no matter what you say." he said before started to walk towards the door to pack his things.

Naruto stood there for several minutes in shock but Sakura groan of pain snapped him out. He turned to Kakashi. "Kakashi-sensei, can you please inform me of anything else that happens to Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi nodded. "I'll watch over her."

(You probably think I'm going too far for Sakura, but I just really like her, and she's one of my main characters in my story)

(An hour later)

Sasuke and Naruto had a backpack on their back as they waited for Jiraiya to come.

Jiraiya finally came.

"You're late..." Naruto said highly annoyed.

"Sorry, just packing extra things to make sure we don't starve." Jiraiya said as they started to walk to fine the woman who could save Sakura.

(Hours later)

They were jumping tree branch from tree branch, they were walking but Naruto proclaim it to be too slow and speed ahead, using the branch, as soon as he jumped, Sasuke and Jiraiya went after him, telling him to wait up or slow down.

Naruto had an angry scowl on him and his eyes continuously shift from blue to red.

'Sakura-Chan... I got to save her...' Naruto thought as he jumped more faster, leaving both Sasuke and Jiraiya back.

Jiraiya sighed. "Poor kid... he doesn't even know where he's heading." he said.

Sasuke sighed. "That's Naruto for ya." he said before attempting to catch up to Naruto.

(Back in Konoha)

The nurses were still trying to help Sakura from whatever nightmare she was having.

Kakashi watched from the sideline, disappointed with himself for not being able to protect his student or help her in any way.

He sighed. "Come on Naruto... hurry." he said, he then turned and left, wanting to give the nurse and Sakura some space.

(With Naruto, nighttime)

They all set up camp as Naruto looked at the fire and roughly hit it with a stick.

As the flicker of flames goes up, it almost formed a heart but just barely. (Little too romantic?)

Naruto sighed before going to his tent and call it a night, the whole time, hoping that Sakura would fine without him. Soon sleep over took him.

(The next morning)

Naruto woke up not feeling better than yesterday; he saw Sasuke and Jiraiya already awake and were eating rice balls.

"What are you guys doing? Come on, we need to find this lady and get her to fix Sakura-Chan." Naruto said as he started to bring his tent down.

"Yeah yeah that's great, now come on, we brought ramen with us." Jiraiya said in a calm voice which annoyed Naruto to no end.

"I don't care! We need to save Sakura-Chan!" Naruto said with anger in his voice and his rage increased when Sasuke and Jiraiya acted as if he didn't heard him. "What's wrong with you guys! Don't you want to save Sakura-Chan!" he asked. They both still ignored him, some of kyuubi chakra now leaked out of Naruto. "GET YOUR ASSES UP AND HELP ME YOU BASTARD!" Naruto yelled in a burst of chakra.

Sasuke and Jiraiya calmly put down their rice balls.

"Naruto calm down, it's not like..." Jiraiya was saying.

"Calm down! CALM DOWN! How am I supposed to...?"

"Look..." Jiraiya interrupted Naruto. "I know your overprotecting of your... girlfriend... but being worried will get you nowhere, you need to relax otherwise we'll turn back leave, I will not have you this stressed out." Jiraiya said in a serious tone.

"How could I calm down...?" Naruto asked as he looked down. "Sakura-Chan might die if we don't get her out of the genjutsu." he said.

"No..." Sasuke said. "The 'Tsukuyomi' doesn't kill; it only put the victim in a mental stress state... wow I sounded like a professional when I said that..." Sasuke said with pride in his voice. "The point is that Sakura will be fine, but Naruto does have a point, if we don't hurry, the Tsukuyomi might do permanent damage to Sakura."

Naruto seemed to calm down as soon as Sasuke said that she wouldn't die but as soon as he said that Sakura might suffer some permanent damage, his stress returned.

"See! This is why we need to hurry!" Naruto yelled.

Jiraiya sighed. "Alright, come Sasuke, it appears that Naruto ain't going to eat breakfast..." Jiraiya said as he started to pack up the tent but soon stops and turn to Naruto and holds out the ramen cup. "It's still not late for you to eat." he said. Naruto looked slightly unsure but soon grabbed the ramen cup and started to eat it while they all started to walk off.

(Later that day)

They all stopped at a hotel, much to Naruto's annoyance.

"Why are we here?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya sighed. "Don't start with the emo act Naruto; you'll get to save your Sakura-Chan, but you need to become stronger, I'll even teach you a new jutsu that is stronger than that lame chidori." Jiraiya said smugly.

Sasuke popped a vein.

Naruto seemed confuse. "New jutsu?" he asked.

"Oh yeah, in fact, this jutsu, even the fourth hokage created." Jiraiya said.

Naruto's eyes sparkled. "That's awesome!" he then turned to Sasuke. "Hear that? I'm going to learn a jutsu from the fourth." he said.

"Pfft, learn any jutsu you want, you'll still be weaker than me dope." he said.

Naruto growled then turned to Jiraiya. "Teach me the jutsu already!" he commanded.

"Not until you calm yourself." Jiraiya said in all seriousness.

Naruto breath in and out 'This is for Sakura-Chan'Naruto reminded himself. 'I need to protect her.' he looked at Jiraiya with a lot of determination.

"Alright, I'll try my best to control my emotion." he said.

Jiraiya smiled brightly while Sasuke blinked in confusedness.

"Alright, that's more like it. Come; let's leave our stuff here while I try to gather some information about Tsunade's where-about." Jiraiya said as he left.

Both having similar thought. 'He's going to peep on girls ain't he?' They both thought before sighing. 'Old pervert.' They both grabbed their stuff and walked to their rooms.

(In Konoha)

Sakura was still lying in bed, she seem to be breathing normally, this time and seems more relax.

(Sakura's mindscape)

Sakura was on her knees while looking down and panting, pictures of Naruto floating around.

"That's right... keep thinking... happy thoughts... about Naruto..." Sakura panted.

"Sakura-Chan!" she looked up to see Naruto running towards her.

Sakura's eyes widen in fear. "No! Naruto-kun, don't come..." before she got to finish, Naruto stopped abruptly stops as he seem to be vibrating. "N-Naruto-kun?" she asked, the vibration seemed to be focused in his head before he's head suddenly split open. Sakura screamed in horror at seeing Naruto die in such a gruesome way.

The cycle seems to be going on forever. First Naruto would randomly get pissed at her, then apologize to her then get killed in a gruesome death, he'll get mad for different reasons, he'll apologize in different ways, and he'll die in different ways.

Sometimes Sakura just watches the death of her own friends or feel pain on herself, despite the fact that she's inside her mind she can still feel them physically.

She started shaking, looking at Naruto's headless body. "No more..." tears fell from her eyes. "No more please! I'll do what you want! JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!" she screams.

"Sakura-Chan..." she turned to see Naruto glaring at her.

"Oh no..." she whispered, knowing what's going to happen.

(Outside her mindscape)

Sakura started breathing more rapidly as she mentally tries to ignore the pain.

(With Naruto)

Naruto doesn't know how it happened but he somehow ended up opening the door to see a weird guy with blue and shark like skin and another guy standing next to him with his piercing sharingan.

"Um... hello?" Naruto said.

"Who's on the door!" Sasuke asked from the bathroom.

"Two weirdoes!" Naruto replied.

Kisame growled slightly.

"Naruto-kun, you're coming with us." Itachi said.

Naruto continue to stare at them. "Sasuke! Now they are saying that I should come with them, should I!" Naruto asked.

"No! If both of them look like weirdoes then they probably want to rape you! Don't go near them!" Sasuke yelled from the bathroom.

"Sorry, I guess I'm not going." Naruto said. "Bye." he started to close the door but Kisame stopped him.

"We're not leaving brat." Kisame said.

Naruto sighed. "Look, I'm honored that you think I'm hot, but my butt kind of belong to someone... and by someone I mean Sakura-Chan... and by Sakura-Chan I mean... yeah I did meant Sakura-Chan..." Naruto said. "But I'm sure there's an innocent little boy out there that would love to get raped by two pedophiles." Naruto said with a nod before he tried to close the door again but once again, he was stopped by Kisame.

Naruto sighed. "You got one minutes before I call the police." Naruto said.

"It's simple Naruto-kun, all we want is for you to come with us." Itachi said calmly, apparently he wasn't affected by Naruto continuous comment of them being pedophiles.

"Look I don't..." Naruto was saying.

"Ugh... this isn't working Itachi..." Kisame said before he grabbed the handle to his sword. "Let's chop off his leg and drag him back." Kisame said.

Naruto eyes widen upon hearing that, he stepped back as Itachi and Kisame stepped forward.

"Something tells me you guys aren't pedophiles." Naruto said with squinted eyes.

Kisame groaned annoyingly. "This kid is getting on my nerve." he said. "You're lucky we can't kill you." Kisame said.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked.

Kisame chuckled. "Don't tell me you don't know?" He asked, by the look on Naruto's face, he didn't know. "You have the nine-tails inside of you." he said.

Naruto eyes widen. Not because of the nine-tails, but because these guys knew, and if they knew a secret that big, what else do they know?

They all heard a flush and turned to the bathroom to see Sasuke walking out.

"Ugh geez, that's the last time I eat tacos offered by a stranger." Sasuke said with a groaned while rubbing his stomach. He stops and looks at Naruto, then Kisame and his eyes widen when he sees Itachi. "I-Itachi?" he asked in surprise but the surprise quickly turns to anger.

"Hello brother, how is that pink haired girl fairing?" he asked.

"Pink haired girl?" Naruto asked. "You mean Sakura-Chan? How do you know her?" Naruto asked. Itachi stayed quiet. Naruto's eyes narrowed. "Are you the one who is causing Sakura-Chan so much pain!" Naruto asked.

Again, Itachi stayed quiet.

"ANSWER ME DAMN IT!" Naruto yelled.

Kisame laughed. "Wow Itachi, I'm impressed, you were able to get two people to hate you, I wish I was that good." Kisame said with another laugh. Yet, Itachi still won't talk.

Sasuke narrows his eyes. "First you kill our clan, then you mess up our friend and you dare show your face here! Some brother you turned out to be!" Sasuke yelled as he made the hand sign and chidori started forming on his hand.

Naruto was surprised by that since he never saw it. "Since when did you learned that?" Naruto asked.

"It's a move that Kakashi-sensei is teaching me, it's still in progress but now is as good as time to try it out!" Sasuke said as he charged at Itachi.

Itachi continue to start at Sasuke as he approaches but at the last second, he grabs Sasuke arm and smash him to the wall.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as he made some hand sign. "WIND STYLE: AIR BULLET!" Naruto blew a puff of air at Itachi but Kisame got in the way and blocked it with his sword.

"Uh uh uh kid, let them settle out their differences." Kisame said.

"Like hell I'll will! It may have happened to Sakura-Chan and I couldn't stop it, but there's no way I will let Sasuke suffer the same way if there's something I can do about it!" Naruto yelled before running around him and making more hand sign. "WIND STYLE: GREAT BREAKTHROUGH!" a current of wind that came from nowhere put Kisame to a wall though Kisame got off easily.

"Heh, not bad brat, you got me by surprise, but it won't happen again." Kisame said as he walked calmly between Itachi and Naruto.

'Damn it, at this rate, Sasuke will...' Naruto thought as he charged again at Kisame.

Itachi held Sasuke by the neck on the wall as Sasuke struggled to get free from his grasp.

"Foolish brother, you do not got enough hate for me... if you wish to kill me, hate me with passion, gather all the hate you can if you wish to see me dead by your feet." Itachi whispered to Sasuke's ear.

At that moment, Jiraiya came wobbling by, obviously drunk.

"Hey Naruto, Sasuke, what's you doing?" he asked as he started at Naruto, then Kisame, then Itachi, then Sasuke. "Sasuke, you shouldn't play with older boys like that, it's just wrong... Naruto... I don't know what you're doing but just stay there." Jiraiya said as he went and lay down in bed and started snoring.

Everyone was staring at Jiraiya.

"Give me a moment." Naruto said as he walked over to Jiraiya and punched him in the stomach.

Jiraiya screamed in pain before running to the bathroom and throwing up... but after he sprayed the bathroom because it stinks like hell.

He walked out. "Gaki, why did you..." he stopped upon seeing Kisame and Itachi. "Holy shit the akatsuki!" he yelled before making hand sign. "NINJA ART: TOAD MOUTH TRAP!" Jiraiya yelled before the room became flesh.

Everyone watched as Sasuke slowly sink into the flesh.

"What the... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS! YOU BASTARD! YOU KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN! I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR THIS! Even though I'm grateful. THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE YOU FOR... mphf." Sasuke was yelling but then he was completely engulfed by the flesh.

Everyone looked at Jiraiya.

He seemed confused before he realized why they were staring at him. "Oh! Don't worry, he'll be fine, as for you two..." Jiraiya said, looking at Itachi and Kisame. "I wouldn't be so sure, you might just be digested..."

Those words seemed to throw Itachi off as the next thing he said was: "Kisame! Let's get out now!" he yelled as he dashed for the door but was stopped by Jiraiya as he threw a kick but Itachi dodged it in time.

"Uh uh uh, you can't leave that early, come have a little fun." Jiraiya said.

"Listen old man, we don't got to play one of your gay game, we need to go." Kisame said.

Jiraiya popped a vein. "Old man? GAY GAMES!" he charged at them as he threw punches and kicked but they keep dodging them, they both look at a wall before Itachi activated his sharingan.

"AMATERASU!" black flames made a hole on the wall where Kisame and Itachi jumped out and ran off.

Jiraiya sighed. "Looks like they're gone."

"And you're ok with that!" Naruto asked. He glared at Itachi's back as he clenched his fist. "I'll get him back..." he muttered.

"Don't be an idiot." Jiraiya said.

"What do you mean don't be an idiot! He's the reason Sakura-Chan is suffering!"

"I know, but he's too strong for you, you wouldn't be able to avenge Sakura, and even though, fighting Itachi will get you killed, and if Sakura wake up, she'll feel terrible for getting you killed... do you want that Naruto? Do you want your Sakura-Chan to be sad for the rest of her life, knowing she's the reason you died." Jiraiya asked with a serious expression.

Naruto was going to retort but stopped himself, after some time he looked down.

He sighed. "Your right..." Naruto said.

Jiraiya and Sasuke's, who is finally out, eyes widen.'He actually agreed on that!' They both thought.

Naruto sighed again. "Well, start training me Pervy Sage! I need to become strong for Sakura-Chan! And besides, we still got a month before the second part of the chunin exam starts!" Naruto said as he kicked Jiraiya out of the hole straight to the ground.

Sasuke looked down at the injured sannin before chuckled. "Just what he deserves." he said... before Naruto also kicked him out and he landed next to the sannin.

Sasuke struggled to stand. "God damn that hurt like hell." he muttered.

(With Sakura)

Sakura was once again was able to breath easily, she was able to subdue most of the pain, but it doesn't mean it hurt her to see her Naruto-kun die repeatedly.

She usually tried to ignore the whole thing but it gets more and more hard.

"So... I see you got a strong build for this." she turned to see Itachi, looking at her.

"You!" Sakura said with hatred in her voice. "Get me out if here! This place..." she trailed off, hearing Naruto scream as he died again.

"I'm afraid I can't do that." Itachi said.

"Why not! Just get me out of this place!" Sakura yelled, almost pleading.

Itachi shook his head. "Not until you tell me Naruto-kun weakness." he said. "I'll need to capture him soon." he said.

Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Why do you need to capture MY Naruto-kun!" she said.

Itachi stayed quiet. "It's nothing that concerns you." Itachi said.

"Yes it does! You're talking about Naruto-kun! He's my friend! Anyone who wants to hurt him has to go through me!" she yelled.

Itachi stayed quiet. "So that's a no?" he asked.

"Bastard." Sakura muttered with a popped vein, she suddenly flinched, hearing another Naruto die. She turned only to regret it, there lays a burned corpse that used to belong to Naruto. She turned back, trembling.

"Do you wish to tell me now? If you do, I promise to get you out." Itachi said.

Sakura tried to control her trembling but couldn't as there was a Naruto behind her making out with her best friend Ino, saying how she was too late to claim him.

"N, if me telling you will get Naruto-kun in harm's way, then I rather stay here all my life than to carry that burden!" Sakura proclaimed finally stopping her trembling. only to flinch upon hearing Ino moan loudly.

Itachi sighed. "I wish I didn't had to do this but I need to do everything I can to gather information on Naruto, the more information, the better." Itachi said before disappearing.

Sakura stood there, staring at the spot Itachi was, she soon sink to her knee, forced to here Ino moan out Naruto's name will muttering harder and faster.

(With Naruto)

Naruto eyes were narrowed as sweat rolled down his forehead, his shoulder constantly moving around in circles as a woman moaned continuously, Naruto's face got red before he yelled.

"PERVY SAGE! GET OUT OF HERE, I CAN'T CONCENTRATE!" Naruto yelled, turning back to see Jiraiya groping a woman in a red tight dress.

Jiraiya frowned. "Fine." he said before taking the woman and walking out of the hotel room.

Naruto sighed in relief. Sasuke's head popped out of a corner.

"Is he gone?" Sasuke asked. Naruto nodded, Sasuke sighed. "Good, someday he might turn me into him... I don't want that to happen." he said then walked to the living room. "I'ma go and watch TV." he said and sat down.

Naruto looked back at his hand, the water balloon there; he started moving his shoulder the same way. He seemed to be focusing extremely on the water balloon, almost as if he was expecting something to happen.

Naruto growled and threw the water balloon at the wall, making it pop. "This is stupid; I can't even get the first step right..." Naruto growled. "At this rate, Sakura-Chan will..." he trailed off, he looked at the box full of water balloons, he picked one up.'Doesn't I got to do everything I can to help her...' he gripped the water balloon. 'Hang in there Sakura-Chan... just a little longer.' he thought.

(Next day)

Sasuke was eating some steak for breakfast that Jiraiya made. Jiraiya left, saying he needed to gather information on Tsunade whereabouts, but Sasuke knew he was just going to a bar.

He sighed, wondering why he came along for.

He turned back to Naruto who for some reason was swearing at the water balloon, probably to weaken its soul so it can pop.

Sasuke sighed again.

"Sasuke, stop sighing! It's distracting me!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke sighed again. "What did I say about sighing!" he sighed again. "What did I just say! Mh! WHAT DID I JUST SAY!" seconds passed... Sasuke sighed again. "If you sigh one more time..." Naruto left the threat hang.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulder and continued eating, he's thoughts going back to his second encounter with his brother, thinking back made him depressed that he still haven't gotten stronger. He involuntarily sighed again. Before he knew it, he was talked to the ground by Naruto.

(Hours passed)

Jiraiya walked inside. "Hey, I'm back, guess what? I know where Tsunade..." Jiraiya stopped, seeing the room completely destroyed, several things thrown on the floor, burn marks everywhere, a hole on the couch and the couch upside-down.

"Boys, what happened?" Jiraiya asked, upon seeing Sasuke jump away from a rampaging Naruto.

"Naruto gone berserk! He's trying to kill me just so he could get the first step right!" Sasuke said in a somewhat panicked voice.

Jiraiya held out his arm and caught Naruto.

"Naruto, calm down. You're wasting time trying to kill Sasuke." Jiraiya said. "Come on, I found out where Tsunade is, we're leaving now." he said, setting Naruto down. "Grab whatever isn't broken and let's go."

Naruto breathe slowly to calm himself and did what Jiraiya said.

(A couple of packaging later)

Naruto, Sasuke and Jiraiya were now walking towards where Tsunade is.

Naruto walked faster than both of them and was usually in the lead, despite the fact that he doesn't know how Tsunade looks like.

Jiraiya would tell him that there's no need to hurry since Tsunade wasn't going anywhere.

Naruto growled upon been slowed down by Jiraiya yet again.

"Stop slowing me down, we have..."

"To pace ourselves, if you hurry in doing something you are bound to make a mistake." Jiraiya said wisely. "Sakura ain't going to get better that's true, but she ain't going to get worse either... probably, the worse that could happen is that she could be scarred with a horrible memory, or she could never see things the same way again." he said, no knowing the effect he was causing.

"The more reason we have to hurry! Who knows how much she's suffering!" Naruto asked. "Damn it forget it! Just tell me how she looks like?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya sighed. "Fine, she has blond hair, set to two ponytails, she has a good build, as the best hips ever and one of the biggest breast I've ever seen, I even got lucky enough to see her once naked but she found out and pummeled me close to death, but it was the best thing I've ever seen, since she doesn't read my book, I was able to put her on my book, that book sold more than all my other books..." Jiraiya kept ranting about his book and Tsunade sexy attribute that he didn't notice Naruto walking ahead further while blushing and muttering under his breath about pervert old geezers.

They finally made it to the town Tsunade is.

"Ok, remember what I told on how Tsunade looks." Jiraiya said in all seriousness.

"You mean the fact that she has a huge rack? Or the fact that she's about your age except she's using a jutsu to look young? Or, or, or maybe the fact that she got an 'amazing' curve!" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya blushed. "Did I really say all that?" he asked.

"Yes..." Sasuke said.

Jiraiya sighed. "Ok, well, that was just my perverted side, now what you should really know is..." he gave a perverted... I mean, dramatic pause. "She is known as the legendary sucker." he said.

Naruto and Sasuke gave him a confuse look.

"Eh?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya sighed. "Every bet that she'd ever done, she lose, every one of them, and the one she those win, bad thing happen to her." Jiraiya explained.

"Geez, talk about bad karma." Sasuke said. "Something else?" he asked, Jiraiya opened his mouth. "Something that's not perverted?" he added.

Jiraiya pouted slightly. "She also has a terrible temper." he said.

Naruto nodded. "Bad karma with bet, blond hair in twin pony tails and terrible temper... along with a huge rack, got it." Naruto said.

"And she also like to gamble, which should be the first place we should check." Jiraiya said.

"Mh, like that place?" Sasuke pointed to a bar.

"Exactly." Jiraiya, Naruto and Sasuke walked inside the bar, as soon as they did, everyone stop.

They were all looking at the three.

"I swear every new place I go everyone just turn to me, almost as if I'm a murderer." Naruto muttered to himself.

Jiraiya started looking around. "She's not here; either that or she's using a henge because she really doesn't want to see me."

Jiraiya turned. "Come on, we're going." Naruto and Sasuke followed Jiraiya out of the bar, as soon as they did, everyone went about their business.

Jiraiya entered another bar, again hoping to see Tsunade but once again, didn't see her.

They kept at it for at least an hour but they still didn't found her.

"This is ridiculous, what's the big deal of a casino? It just a big stupid machine." Naruto said.

Jiraiya grinned. "Oh yeah? Then try one and see just how 'stupid' the machines are." he said.

Naruto shrugged his shoulder and pulled the lever on one of the machines.

Jiraiya was snickering. 'This'll be fun, watching Naruto fail miserably...'

"Triple seven." Naruto said with a bored expression.

"EH!" Jiraiya watched as a lot of coins fell from the slot.

Naruto's eyes kept getting wider and wider as he gave a huge grin. "Damn, I won all that money!" he asked. Jiraiya nodded dumbly. "This is awesome!" Naruto said as he put the coins in a bag.

Jiraiya was still stun at what he saw. "I... I need to grope some breast." and he left.

Naruto grimaced. "Would it kill him to not act perverted for once?" Naruto asked.

"Nope, that's just the way he is." Naruto turned to see a woman with twin ponytails, nice curves, and the biggest breast he had ever seen.

Naruto tried his best to not look at her boobs but it proved to be difficult before one thought came to mind. 'What a minute, he's the old pervert teammate, and if I remember correctly, didn't he said something about her using a jutsu to look young.' and with those thoughts, any naughty thinking just vanished, then another thought came along. 'Wait, she's the one that can help Sakura-Chan!' Naruto thought.

"Now, I want to know... what did you do to get all that coin?" Tsunade asked. "Barely anyone get triple seven."

Naruto shrugged his shoulder. "Guess I just got lucky." he said. "Hey, you're Tsunade right?" he asked.

"Pfft, noooo..." she said sarcastically. "I'm just a wannabe girl who is posing as Tsunade because she's my idol." she said.

"Oh, well next time, don't go around pretending you're her, you might get arrested." Naruto said.

"This kid is a dumbass." Tsunade whispered to himself.

"Look kid, I'm..."

"I know you are the real Tsunade. What? You actually thought I was an actual idiot?" Naruto asked before laughing. "What a moron." he said to Sasuke.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Didn't Jiraiya also mention she has a bad temper?" he asked.

Naruto blinked before turning back to see Tsunade debating with herself with calling him brave or stupid for calling her a moron.

Naruto gulped. "Look, sorry about that, but if you really are Tsunade; can you please come back to the leaf village?" Naruto asked.

"Pfft, as if, why should I?" Tsunade asked.

"Because my friend needs help, and you're the only one who can help." Naruto said.

"And is that my problem? No, it isn't. So get someone else." Tsunade said rudely.

She turned to leave but was stopped by someone holding her arm, she turned to look at Naruto's eyes and she swore she saw his eyes flash red.

"Listen old lady, I had to travel for two days, hearing that perverted man go about and openly talk about sexy woman, which wouldn't have been so bad if I was a pervert, I had to see first-hand how much Sakura is suffering and I had to go and find you just because you won't stay in one freaking place!" Naruto yelled.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "Who the hell do you think you are? Do you really think I would come back with you that easily?"

"I don't give a crap if you would come back, I'll break both your legs and drag you home if I had to!" Naruto yelled.

Everyone ran out as soon as everyone heard that.

Shizune, Tsunade assistance, backed away slowly. Not wanting to be a part of Tsunade's fury. To her surprise, Tsunade started laughing.

"You, break my leg! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsunade continue to laugh, Naruto narrowed his eyes more and more as she continue to laugh. "I think you got it in reverse! It would be me who would break your legs, arms and your whole body unless you let me go." she said, once again getting serious.

Naruto growled. "What will it takes for you to come back to the leaf?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade looked at the giant bag of coin and smiled. "Maybe if you give me all your coins, I'll come back." she said.

Naruto looked at his bag and without a second. Gave her the bag. "There, take it, take whatever you want, just help my friend!" Naruto said.

Tsunade smiled and grabbed the bag. "Thanks, bye now." she said and walked away Naruto.

Naruto stood there in shock, along with Sasuke and Shizune who ran towards Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama, wasn't that too cruel?" Shizune asked.

Tsunade stopped and glared at Shizune, making her stop. "I do whatever I want, when I want to, I don't need to give pity to someone I don't even know." Tsunade said coldly and was about to walk out the door before a path of flames blocked her way.

She looked back to see Sasuke with the tiger sign. "I'm not going to stand around and let you leave after that." Sasuke said with a glare. "What's your reason for not helping us?"

Tsunade huffed. "Why do you need to know?" she asked.

Sasuke sighed; he looked at Naruto who was glaring daggers at her. "Well, how about a..."

"... Fight!" they all turned to Naruto.

"Naruto, the hell are you thinking!" Sasuke asked.

"Just hear me out." Naruto whispered to him.

"A fight!" Tsunade asked and just like last time, laughed.

"Yes a fight! If I win, you have to come back with us and heal Sakura... and return my bag." he whispered in the end.

"Ok, and what if I win?" Tsunade asked, Naruto opened his mouth but Tsunade stopped. "Wait, I'm going to choose..." Tsunade said. "You leave me alone for the rest of the week and I get to keep this bag of coins... and all your other money." she said.

Naruto growled. "You're on! You better have your bags ready." he said.

"I do..." Tsunade said while holding the bag. "Here Shizune, hold this." she said and walked out with Naruto behind, but not before Sasuke grabbed him.

"Dude, are you insane! She's the freaking sannin for Kami's freaking sake! She'll rip you to shreds! No, that's being too generous." he said.

"Geez, thanks for the vote of confident." Naruto said sarcastically.

"Look, why don't we work together? She'll probably see no problem with it since she's the sannin." Sasuke said.

Naruto thought of it for a while. "Whatever ups my chances of seeing Sakura-Chan smile again." he said with his own smile.

They both walked out in time to see Tsunade punch Jiraiya, upon seeing him groping another woman.

Naruto and Sasuke sidestepped in time for Jiraiya to miss them.

"Oh good, I thought you chickened out." Tsunade said.

Naruto smirked confidently. "Hey grandma, Sasuke will be joining me, hope you got no problem with that." Naruto said.

Tsunade thought for a sec. "I guess not, you wouldn't be able to defeat me." she said.

Jiraiya got out of the hole to see Naruto and Sasuke facing Tsunade. "What's going on?" Jiraiya asked.

"Tsunade-sama got challenged by this two little boys, I already feel bad for them." Shizune explained.

"What! Do they want to die!" Jiraiya asked as he looked at Naruto crack his knuckle as Sasuke activated his sharingan.

"Let's go!" Naruto yelled and charge at Tsunade.
