Chapter 8: CH 8
Naruto growled menacingly, "That was the whole point..."
Jiraiya got back on track as Naruto sheathed his sword, "Anyway, when I got you back me and Sarutobi-sensei found that you were a part of a group of ninja lead by a man high up in Konoha's politics." Naruto nodded, "Yeah, Ne, led by Danzo."
Jiraiya pulled a double-take to look at Naruto, "You're admitting it exists! Wait... You're talking about it!"
Naruto sighed, "Yes ero-sennin. I swear, I kept telling Danzo it was the second-worst kept secret, almost as bad as me being the Kyuubi jinchuuriki. The fact that Sarutobi-jiji AND you both knew about it proved that. And Danzo never put any seals on me, I was too much of a high-profile figure to make into a mindless drone, I mean at first he tried, but he quit after a while."
Jiraiya looked at him oddly, "Wait, so you always had your sense of self? You weren't a mindless drone? He just trained you?"
Naruto looked up at the man, "Yeah. And anyway I couldn't tell you anything currently relevant about Ne even if I wanted to anyway, seeing as how I haven't been there in four years. The old cripple probably cut his losses and let me go. It's all he could have done. Trying to get me back and break the seal might have been too risky."
Jiraiya looked down, 'We never had to seal him... He's right. As long as we kept a tight watch on him he couldn't have gone back to Danzo.'
Jiraiya gulped, "So about the sealing... Listen Naruto when me and Sarutobi-sensei sealed you we thought you-."
Naruto's blue eyes snapped up at Jiraiya's face, "'You and Sarutobi-sensei?' You and the old man were the ones that sealed me?" Naruto didn't wait for a response, "You asshole! You could have waited for me to wake up and explain what was going on to both of you! Instead you left me with the mindset of a four-year old? I was mentally behind everybody else by four years!"
