31 Chapter-31: Meeting with Jiraiya!
(3rd POV)
After the exam's first part was over, Team-7 along with Yamato assembled in their usual training ground.
Yamato handed them over to various teachers that he thought would teach them what they should focus on.
Sakura was handed over to Oyone, a medic ninja of Konoha and also a member of intelligence division.
Sakura would be learning medic ninjutsu along with her and some advanced tracking skills.
Sasuke was handed over to Hayate Gekko for swordsmanship. He will polish his swordsmanship for now and focus on ninjutsu later.
Naruto was almost handed over to Ebisu but was snatched away by Jiraiya who had plans for him. Yamato didn't argue much as he had some knowledge about the relationship of Jiraiya and Naruto. It was told to him by Kakashi when they went to a bar and got wasted after a mission.

(Kazuya POV)
Naruto was given away to Jiraiya by Yamato.
This was...troublesome.
I was hoping that he doesn't seek Naruto for the time being as he might mess with the seal on Naruto and my plans won't progress smoothly as well.
He only had summoning scroll on him that was worthwhile.
Other techniques and achievements were due to his resilience and perseverance. Nothing that could be taken away or learned.
We met each other when he and Yamato came knocking to my house after a few days and told me he was my temporary sensei.
I was already in control when his name came forward so Naruto was sleeping inside my soul space.
I wanted to either reject him or make him go away as I can't let him be here for now.
"Yamato-sensei. You can leave as I think I shouldn't be wasting your time on me. Please leave him to me. I'd like to introduce ourselves and start our training as soon as possible." I said with a confident smile.
"Sure, Naruto. Make sure to train properly under him." he said as he flickered away.
"Please come inside, Jiraiya-sensei." I said as I closed the door and made some tea for us.
After serving the tea, we sat down and started talking.
"So I don't want to waste each others time so let's get on it. Please tell me what can you teach me." I asked him.
"I can teach you a lot. I am Jiraiya, the toad Sannin!" He said in a confident tone.
"I am asking for list of things you can teach me. Write that on a paper. I cannot work without knowing specific details." I said as I gave him a paper.
This surprised him as he wasn't expecting such behavior from me.
He didn't argue further and started writing down whatever he could.
After writing them for a while, he stopped and passed me the paper.
It had a lot stuff like spying, more ninjutsus and training under him.
"Now tell me 'sensei' or should I say godfather? Where were you all these years?" I said as I wore an apron and started cooking something to eat.
I was feeling hungry.
He was silent after I said that.
"Tell me...What exactly were you doing?" I said as I started to whisk together eggs, milk, and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper in bowl.
"...I can explain, Naruto. Please calm down." He said with a guilty expression.
"No I am just asking. I am not angry at you at all. I am just asking you...where were you exactly? How was it so important that you could so easily forget about me? I don't want to make you guilty but you deserve every bit of it, you know? From what you wrote on the paper, you are really good at intelligence gathering. That means you knew I existed, didn't you? As Kyuubi's jinchuriki or 4th's son." I said as melt butter over medium heat in a non stick pan.
I added some eggs and scrambled, 3 minutes while I added some chili for some spiciness.
He was again silent after that.
For quite a while. He didn't know how to respond.
I didn't say anything as well as I was cooking.
I laid out three strips of bacon and sprinkled them with a large spoonful of scrambled eggs and some more chili. I Rolled them up tightly and repeated with remaining bacon and eggs.
He still didn't answer me so I pressed him for it again.
"Oh don't worry, 3rd didn't tell me anything. It was 4th who told me everything. He left some chakra inside me in order to watch over me and the seal." I said as started to heat the pan and add bacon roll-ups seam side down.
I cooked them until crispy on all sides and then transfer to on 2 plates.
I added a variety of sauces around the plate for myself.
Personally, I preferred small amount of Wasabi sauce and some standard ketchup sauce with this.
I put one plate in front of him and on in front me and started to eat them.
"Are you going to say something or cat got your tongue, Sannin?" I asked once more.
"I had to spy on an important enemy of Konoha." He said as he started fiddling with food and took a bite.
From his reaction, he must've liked it but he didn't let it show to his face for more than a moment.
"Do you know..." I said as I took a bite myself.
"...That sounds like a genuine excuse for abandoning a kid for 12 god damn years, doesn't it? It is such a generic f*cking excuse that not even civilian children will accept it, let alone me, a ninja. Do you think you can get away with all this sh*t by just saying 'oh I was...I was-' and then insert the most stupid and generic excuse a ninja can give? Do not mock me like that." I said as I took another bite.
"what do you want me to do then? It was all past! I will let you know that I was really spying on someone important! Past isn't important! Present is!" He said.
"Past doesn't matter...? Past defines a person and makes him who he is today. What if I was killed because of the civilian hatred towards me? They call me demon fox and nearly every year will annoy me on my f*cking birthday! Do you understand anything about that? To hide from all of the Konoha on your own Birthday just because the Kyuubi was sealed inside me!" I said as I started crying.
Well it mostly acting that I perfect after years of acting here.
"I...I-" He tried saying something but I cut him off.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Can you imagine how much I suffered during this time? How much misery I had to see just because you decided to bail on me? And now return back, thinking I wouldn't know sh*t?" I said as I slammed the table.
"Please listen to m-" He tried saying something but I cut him off again.
"Get out." I said as I wiped my hands, picked up the empty plates and kept them near the sink.
"What?" He asked as he was surprised because of what I said.
"I said get out of my house and don't show your face here until you prepare a genuine excuse or something for me that will appease my anger that has been accumulating for all these years. Also tell Tsunade, or should I say godmother...That she better prepare a genuine excuse as well. Because if I found out that she had the same reaction or excuses as you then only god will know what I will do." I said as I washed my hands and undid the apron.
He didn't argue further and moved out.
I shut the door as soon as he left.
This must guilt trip him into arguing with his sensei and hopefully leaving Konoha for time being.
I don't want him here for the invasion or at least stay away from me for the time being.
It will make my plans way easier to execute.
