Chapter 153: CH 153
Jiraiya looked at Naruto before speaking, "You do know that Tsunade did what you said and repealed the law about the Kyuubi don't you?"
Naruto shrugged, "We were moving so fast when we got back in the village and my hood was up so I don't know. And don't tell me how things are going now either. As long as Hamako is okay and nothing happened to her due to her association with me I don't care. If anyone did do anything to her and I find out when I get home, I'm going to go hurt the idiot that did it."
Jiraiya kept up his concerned look, "Are you sure you'll be okay with people if they start cursing you in the street? I'll crack some jaws for you if you want me to kid."
Naruto chuckled, "Thanks Ero-kyofu. But the people love and respect you... for the most part. No, don't throw your rep away for me, as long as no one directly tries to attack me, or my friends, I'll be cool. They can't burn my apartment out after Hamako-chan put up all of the security stuff I told her to do so only direct attacks against us would have a chance of doing anything. If they do, I'll just have to cripple something as punishment."
Jiraiya sweatdropped, "Harsh gaki."
Naruto gave him a dry look, "Gaara would suffocate them in sand and crush them to death. A broken arm or leg is me being nice just so you know."
Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder, "I don't know how Minato and Kushina would feel about the whole 'you crippling the people attacking you thing'... Well actually Kushina would cheer you on while you did it and probably even jump in herself, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, I know that your growth as a ninja and your whole attitude over the Kyuubi would make them incredibly proud of you."
Naruto smiled up at the man, "Thanks a lot Ero-kyofu. I'm not really sure about that though. I'm baptized in blood, how could a hero like the Yondaime Hokage consider me anything to be proud of, I'm not even talking about my time in Root anymore, I'm talking about now. Do you know how many lives I just got through ending, either directly or remotely? I'm fourteen years old and since the age of five I've killed more people than many war veterans even have to, I know I've done more than any other ninja my age... except for Gaara. Gaara's definitely killed way more people than me, I don't even think I'm close."
Jiraiya sighed and flicked Naruto in the forehead, "Are you dumb kid? Do you know how many ninja your old man killed in his time? I can assure you that your body count has absolutely no chance of holding any kind of candle to his. How many do think you killed?"
