Chapter 104: CH 104
Naruto snorted and placed his materials aside, "Ero-sennin the only way that I even care about removing Uchiha-teme's seal is when I sever his head from his neck. There's no saving there, he had an entire village that was willing to 'save him', he had a girl that was willing to give herself to him at the cost of her own career and probably her life to 'save him'. Fuck that, he went to a traitor for power that he could have easily gotten here. I'll save him alright, I'll save him from becoming Orochimaru's next body by ending him the next time we meet, but I don't care about him, I care about Orochimaru getting the Sharingan and coming to eradicate our collective asses." Jiraiya let a smile come to his face, "Thank goodness I don't have to beat that 'save him' stuff out of you gaki. You're smarter than I was when it happened to me."
Naruto shrugged, "You can't save someone that doesn't want to be saved ero-sennin, every Hokage knows that. I wonder how pissed off he would get if I beat Itachi before he could get to him himself? That idiot... All he had to do was stay near me until Itachi came after me again and he could have had his shot." Naruto laughed to himself at that thought, "He might come after me then."
Jiraiya chuckled alongside him, "Yeah, seeing as how Itachi is one of the two slated to come after you I guess you'll get a better shot at him than Sasuke will." He then noticed that Naruto had said something quite interesting, "Hokage? What are you saying gaki?"
Naruto smirked and rubbed his nose, "Well I was thinking, I spent four years of my life dreaming about being a Hokage, it would be a shame to throw it away now that I have a realistic chance of getting there wouldn't it?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened as a smile started forming on his face, "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
Naruto nodded, "So ero-sennin, you trained the Yondaime Hokage... how do you feel about training the Rokudaime?"
Jiraiya simply burst out in laughter, 'That kid is confusing as all hell, but at least he's never too boring.'

Naruto took the time of his slumber to finally reach out to the Kyuubi. It had been over one month since Naruto's seal had been tampered with by Jiraiya and he had yet to try and communicate with the creature. Earlier in the day when the fox spoke it had been the first peep that Naruto had heard from it in forever. He had heeded Jiraiya's warning, he had waited the Kyuubi's temperament out, now it was time to see just what Jiraiya had screwed up with the seal, and the only real way to check it with his novice skill at fuuinjutsu was to go inside of his head and check it out firsthand.
When he first entered he was relieved to see that it still looked like Konoha. That was a good sign to him that not much had changed from his original setup. Wandering around he was curious as to where the Kyuubi would be. Usually he could find it in his house, out in the field beside his house, near the ravine that Jiraiya threw him into, or right in the middle of an utterly eradicated town.
