Naruto snorted, "That's because his dumb ass was the one who broke it. The seal is dependent on the will of the recipient, he wanted to use the seal, you don't. It's that simple. He got drunk off of the power boost and called upon it, you just want the damn thing off. The fact that your model is shoddy when compared to the others ans that he can't slip subliminal ssages through to you to influence you either."
Naruto turned to leave when Anko called out to him, "Wait gaki! How do you know so much about these seals? The Uchiha is the only person you knew that had one and he didn't know a thing about it."
Naruto turned back with a smile, "That is a secret. So things should just stay buried in so instances Anko. You'll never find out why because only four people alive in this village know, and they aren't very talkative on the matter. One might be, but you have to narrow down who it is first. Later." Naruto then proceeded to shunshin out of the area, leaving Anko alone.
XxX Naruto slinked back into his apartnt later that afternoon before flopping face first on his couch, much to the amusent of the Suna kids... who were still there. Kankuro snorted in laughter as he saw Naruto's disheveled form collapse on his couch, "Long day kid?"
Naruto rolled over and gave him a dry stare, "Why are you still here? It's been a week..." He picked himself up into a sitting position on the couch, "And where the hell are Gaara and Temari?"
Kankuro opened a bag of chips from Naruto's freshly purchased groceries and sat on another couch, "I don't know. Temari said she was going shopping and Gaara... left to go do Gaara stuff."
Naruto nodded as he was facing the TV before sothing clicked, "Wait, shopping? How can you shop without enough money to even get a place to stay?"
Kankuro was sweating bullets after Naruto noticed his mistake, "Uh, we finally got paid by your village for helping out with the retrieval mission?" 'Please buy it. Please buy it. Please buy it!'
A hard stare was kept on Kankuro for a mont before Naruto relented, "Fine, whatever. But if you bastards are going to keep staying here you're going to start paying for your own stuff. Why are you still here, answer ."
Kankuro crunched on a few chips and passed the bag to Naruto who readily took a few for himself, "It's one of the conditions of our treaty with your village. We must lend out a genin team to help with manpower issues, and we ended up being the selected team since we're already here anyway."
Naruto rolled the bag up and stood to head back towards the cabinet he rembered placing them in at first, "All right, you guys can stay here for as long as you like, the company isn't that bad and my roommate is cute, things could have been worse, all things considered."
Kankuro shook his head amusedly, "You starting to dig my sister Uzumaki? You'd better watch yourself kid, don't overstep yourself on this one."
A chuckle ca from Naruto as he sat back down, "I hope you're not threatening like Gaara did in Suna. I'm just saying, she's hot, and she's sleeping with in my bed. To just straight jump from having no visitors in your house for years to having Sabaku no Temari sleeping in your bed, it's definitely a noteworthy step up for so random orphan kid."
Kankuro nodded, "I wasn't really threatening you kid, I'm sure Gaara handled that already, he's been getting protective over her lately. It's kind of funny to see."
Before they could continue a knock ca at Naruto's door. Naruto rose to greet whoever it was before narrowing his eyes upon discovering the identity of the person filling his door fra, "Ero-sennin."
Jiraiya gave Naruto a serious look, "Naruto, I need to speak with you. Can we go sowhere?"
Naruto turned to head back inside and return to his seat on the couch, "I just got ho after a few hours in the Forest of Death, I just got groceries, I'm hungry and tired... I'm not going anywhere, you can tell here."
Jiraiya sighed and walked inside, "You mind if I had a seat myself?" Naruto simply pointed to an open chair and sat down, Kankuro and Naruto looking at him.
Kankuro thumped Naruto on his shoulder and whispered to him, "You know Jiraiya of the sannin? Kid who the hell are you?"
Naruto brushed the older puppeteer off of his shoulder and let Jiraiya get settled before he spoke, "All right ero-sennin, what do you want with ? I thought I told you that the only thing keeping from actively pursuing your head was that you're too elite for to try to kill and that you're too useful to Konoha."
Jiraiya frowned, "I know that gaki, but there are so things that you need to know. Orochimaru didn't take Sasuke's body, he had to take a different one before he could arrive and now has to wait three years before he can try again."
Naruto nodded. At least sothing decent ca out of that mission, "So three years to find the snake and kill him and his vessel before things go to shit. It's almost easy..."
Jiraiya had to chuckle at how Naruto narrowed down the situation, "Well not only that, but do you rember Itachi and his blue buddy from a while back?" Naruto nodded, it's kind of hard to forget eting and fighting Itachi Uchiha, "The group that they happen to be a part of, Akatsuki, they have also ceased operations for the ti being, just about the sa ti fra as Orochimaru." Naruto let out a short laugh, "Well I don't really give a damn about the Orochimaru thing, I just care for the sake of the fact that I'm going to be involved sohow, but the Akatsuki thing... Hey, if they want I should tell Gaara too, they'll probably try sothing on him as well right?"
Jiraiya nodded, "About you though. I want to take you on a training trip to get you ready for what is to co. You need to be ready to take down S-rank level ninja within three years ti."
Kankuro's eyes widened as he again turned to Naruto, "Kid who the hell are you! Who deals with this kind of crap and doesn't even flinch?" He points out at Jiraiya, "He's sitting here telling you a group of S-rank criminals are after your head and you just shrug like it happens every day." Naruto looked at Kankuro and shrugged, "h, if you start every single day expecting the worst you can only be pleasantly surprised."
