-=Flying on the sky=-

"So... you are telling me that Orochimaru, who had his arms sealed, could not use jutsus and had only one helper that at best was jonin level, escaped from not only one, but TWO SANNINS?!" asked Naruto with a shocked expression.

Jiraya and Tsunade averted his gaze, proving his words right...

"..."

"..."

"I already knew that this old man was a useless pervert, but if the new hokage is like this, i can't imagine were konoha is heading..." Muttered Naruto, but Jiraya and Tsunade heard him clearly.

"STOP CALLING ME OLD!" Screamed Jiraya, annoyed by Naruto's words

"What did you just say?" With a dangerous aura around her, Tsunade asked

"I said that this old man is useless" Said Naruto with a straight face.

"Good" was everything Tsunade said

'Dodged a bullet here'

[That you shot yourself...]

'Shut up!'

"*Cough* Anyways, we are going to search the town for any clues about were Orochimaru went, will you go with us?" Deciding that changing the subject was a better choice, Jiraya said

"Nah... i will go back tell Izumi what happened... and i also don't want to be part of your... 'Search'..." Naruto said as he walked away.

"You are not good with kids, you know that?" Tsunade mocked him, adding salt to the injury

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A KID OLD HAG?" Naruto's voice was heard from the distance.

A tick mark appeared on Tsunade's forehead as she rurned to his direction

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" any resemblance of her previous calm and composed self, was throw away as she took of in Naruto's direction

"... This kid is going to die..." Said Jiraya to no one in particular

"You sure about that?" Naruto asked him

"Yeah... he should not have ang- WHAT!? how are you here?"

'I didn't even sense him, how could that be?' He thought, shocked

"I have always been here... are you getting senile already old perv?" With mockery on his tone, Naruto asked

A tick mark also appeared on Jiraya's forehead, but before he could say something, Ikki said

"Maybe he got too distracted looking at Tsunade-san's chest..."

"WHAT?! how did you notic*Cough* how did you come here?"

Jiraya tried to fix his mistake, but the way Ikki was looking at him as if he was a complete worthless trash made him shudder for some reason

'Why am i feeling as if i am going to die?' he asked himself

'If this pervert tries to corrupt Naruto...' Ikki was pulled of her dark thoughts by Naruto who grabbed her hand and started moving in the direction of their inn.

"Old perv, i already led Tsunade-san away, go do your 'search' "

As soon as Naruto said that, Jiraya's eyes started tearing up as he thought

'This kid... i am so proud...'

Ikki by Naruto's side had a shocked expression as she looked at Naruto

"Did that old pervert already corrupt you?" she asked, fearing the worst

Naruto smirked at leaned towards her, causing her to blush slightly. But when he said something in her ear, she suddenly smirked viciously.

"You are so cruel..." she said

"Hide your smirk before telling me that"

As they walked away, Jiraya who was feeling really happy righ now, didn't know that his fate was sealed at that moment.

-=-

As they approached the inn, they saw some people talking about a fight on the inn, but they ignored it, Naruto knew what most likely happened and he felt Sasuke's chakra signature.

"Isn't that your teammate?" Feeling Sasuke's blood, Something Ikki learned to do recently( let me explain, she feels the chakra signature of people, using their blood as a medium, since her ketsuryugan can still use vlood without touch, if she doesn't try to use the blood from far away, and only uses it to sense, she doesn't get the drawback), sensed Sasuke and turned to Naruto

"Yeah. it is the broodmaster. he most likely entered a fight with Itachi" He said

"Why would he fight Itachi-san?" Ikki asked confused

"They are brothers, so maybe a family problem?" faking ignorance Naruto said.

"Is that so..." Ikki instantly lost interest.

They enter the inn and find a Knocked out Sasuke laying on the corridor and Izumi looking at him.

"Did they go already?" Ikki asked

"Seems so... maybe they did too much noise and feared attracting Tsunade-san and the old perv's attention?" Said Naruto, reasoning about their early departure.

Meanwhile, Naruto's clone was running away from a angry Tsunade and 'coincidentally' passed by where Jiraya was... 'Searching'.

This made Tsunade turn all of her anger towards Jiraya, and just like that, Naruto was free from a beating and Jiraya was doomed.

'All acording to keikaku' was the clones last thoughts before he dispelled himself.

Back at the inn, Izumi dragged Ikki for a 'girls only talk, but Naruto deducted it would be mostly Izumi asking tips for how to approach someone she likes, who this someone is? i think even the dumbest person knows it already.

Naruto pretended to scratch his head, doing it with a certain timed intervals, a code he and Uzuryu made beforehand

/Kurama is blocked from this conversation, so what is it?\

'When he is unblocked, tell me about gigais and how to make them, i have a good idea' Said Naruto

/Very well\

'Anyway... don't you think 'he' is too quiet recently?' Questions Naruto

/I guess just like your soul got cracked and whatnot, 'He' must be mutating as well\ Reasoned Uzuryu

'I guess it makes sense... anyway unblock Kurama and let's go with the act'

/Done in 3...2...1...\

As soon as Uzuryu went silent, Naruto knew that Kurama was unblocked, so he resumed walking aimlessly around the village while 'deep in thoughts'.

'Hey Kurama, do you know a way to make my shadow clones real?'

[what? how do you expect me to know something like that kit?]

'I dunno... i expected the 'great' kyuubi would at least be a wise being' Mocked Naruto

[Kit...] Kurama easily got angry at this.

/I may have a solution\ Uzuryu, already understanding Naruto's idea, said

'Ohh, let's hear it then, but i do believe it must be something wich will not surprise the 'great' kyuubi, right?'

[Kit... just stop] Annoyed, but still intrigued by this so called solution, Kurama didn't entertain Naruto's mockery anymore.

/Shinigamis sometimes have to deal with people that are gifted in reiatsu, so for them, that are purely souls, to interact with normal people, they need a physical body.

But a normal body was out of question as it would decay and rot when not in use, so the scientists of the soul society deceloped something called gigai, a possessible body that the Shinigamis could use to interact with the normal world.\

'Cool, how do you make one? and how can that help me with my sgadow clones?'

/I can teach you how to make them, and you can use shadow clones with that spirit possession jutsu that you got from that scroll to make them posses the gigais\

'I totally forgot about that jutsu!'

[That is a smart way around it] Kurama was actually interested in this 'gigai' thing, he was wondering if bijuus could use them as well, but that is something we wont know for a long time.

The next day

Naruto was amused, Ikki had a face that could only be described as 'participated in something she didn't like'.

"How was it?" he asked smirking

"Annoying" was her answer

Naruto could only chuckle at her words

"Let me help you cheer up then" he said as he picks Ikki up in a princess carry

"w-what?! what are you doing?" confused asks Ikki

"Did you fly once before?" smirking even. more, he asked

"Ah? hiw would i fly? that is not possible!"

"What? you never molded a wing of blood, instead of your other constructs before?" Asked Naruto

"..." Ikki felt like facepalming right now, such a simple way and she never thought of it...

Before she could lose herself into her thoughts, a pair of chakra wings sprouted from Naruto's back

"What is that?" she asked

"That is a chakra nolding method used in hoshigakure, they use something called star chakra for it, but since my chakra is denser than star chakra, i can use it as well"

Before any more questions were asked, Naruto shot off from the ground. Ikki had stars in her eyes as they flew above the village, seeing everything and everyone passing bellow them, touching clouds and feeling the wind on their skin.

The happy expression on her face made Naruto think

'She looks like Usagin right now...'

/Don't worry, she is still alive right?\

'yeah... i just hope that they can be friends...'

/You sure you want that? remember how much she teased you and Neliel?\

'I would be lying if i say i don't, but i miss even that..."

/oh well, don't say i didn't warn you later\

'i won't... probably'

/...\
