Chapter goes out to EllaMariePalmada and BrookeSimmons!!!!

So like the title says and like I said in the last chapter, this is really just a quick add on to the last chapter that I was too lazy to write before March 6, so I am writing it now. Most likely it will be one of my shortest chapters and also the shortest waiting time... so you all have something to be mad and happy about!!!

Chapter 36 -

A quick thing that shouldn't be called a chapter but is... ^.^"

-----------

Recap:

"When students are injured... Well, this time I think it's harmed his mind. Medical care specialists should be around in case thus should continue to happen... Don't you think?" Jiraiya nodded his head.

"... So... To go searching for that person." What Ojisan sparked everyone curiosity.

"There is no way he is actually looking for her?! Is he?'

“She is one of the three Nins like me. This will work as a payment for the illness." He said with a smile as I slapped a hand over my face. 'Of course he would be talking about Obasan. Who else would actually be a female and be able to stand him slightly?'

'... Wait.... I forget.... What was Mr. Fish sticks name? Uh..... Kissy? No.... Tartar sauce... No... Sammy? No, no that was his sword.... Hochi?! -_-" No, that not it either.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Jiraiya-sama..." Gai said when we were outside in a dirt road with an unconscious Sasuke on his back and Nala in her larger form still, standing beside him. "Please find Tsunade-sama, and bring her back to us!"

"Don't cha worry, we'll find her!! Take care of Sasuke and Bushy Brows!" Naruto said loudly and moved forward unexpectedly, making me, who was getting support by him, almost fall over. I wacked him in the head.

"Naruto, don't move so suddenly. And you also don't know Obasan like Ojisan and I do... finding her is going to be like trying to find a needle in a hay stack... And that's how she was right before she left the village, let alone how hard it will be so many years later. Stupid old hag." I grumbled that last part to myself before I felt someone place a hand on my head.

"Well, Gai... We'll be leaving Sasuke in your care." Ojisan told him, and Gai nodded before he stared to dig around in one of his pockets.

"Naruto..! You've got guts, I like kids like that! Here, I'm giving this to you! This is the reason why Lee is so strong."

"EH?! WHAT?! WHAT!?" Naruto was almost jumping in excitement, but I could tell that something was wrong, and I am usually right when it comes to Gai, so I silently moved away from Naruto and used Ojisan as support. Right after that Gai held up and identical green full body leotard like the one he was wearing right now...

"THIS!!!" He yelled right as I covered my eyes and slammed my head into a wall. 'My eyes!! My eyes!' I continued on bashing my head, but what I saw could not be unseen. I kept on bashing my head until Ojisan pulled me away and told me that Gai and Nala had left a little bit again.

Before I had told Nala to go with Gai back to the village so that she could protect Sasuke till we got back with Obasan. I sighed and stepped away from the wall and leaned against Naruto again. Only to see him holding up the thing Gai gave him.

"You... You're not gonna walk around wearing that, are you..." I asked him slowly.

"It fits me, doesn't it?" He replied and held it against his body, making me regret using him as the ting to get support from instead of my perverted uncle... Okay, scratch that. I take that back.

"Don't. Look at that thing you're holding, Naruto... It's a fashion faux pas." Ojisan told him before he stared to walk away. After Naruto looked down sadly at his new possession, he put it away and swung an arm around my shoulder to support me and began to walk as well. Everyone didn't talk much after that.

'Heh, looks like it's just you and me again girlie.' Suteki said after a while of walking.

'Shut it bitch. I am really not in the mood, nor am I ever in the mood to really talk to you.' I said back to her before I tried to concentrate on making sure I didn't trip as I walked. I looked silently over at Naruto and saw that his facial expressions hadn't changed. He had this inquisitive look on his face for a while now. I could tell he was thinking about what happened at the hotel. I really wanted to ask him about it, I just turned my head away and counted the birds flying in the sky.

'1...2...3..4.....5...6- Ah!!!" I stopped counting the moment I noticed that Naruto stopped walking; making me all most tumble over because I still was walking. Yeah... trying to walk by yourself is not every good when you can barely stand without help... 'Note to self, pay more attention to Naruto's footing and step pattern so i know when to stop...'

"What is it?" Jiraiya asked when he noticed that Naruto was no longer walking.

"Pervy-Sage... These guys... What are they after me for?" Naruto asked him and then continued on when he didn't say anything back. "You know don'tcha pervy-sage."

"... Don't get the wrong idea. Those guys are not so much after you... As they are after what's inside you." He told him. I slowly took my arm away from Naruto and took a step away. *Mini victory dance in my head for being able to do that*

"... This?" Naruto asked as he gripped his stomach. "What is this thing anyway..?" No one answered him again. "This is the monster that attacked the Leaf Village, Right..? That's why everyone’s scared of it... But why do those guys want it?"

"The nin-tails is indeed a monster that has been appearing age after age... A monstrous demon hell-bent on destruction. It was one of the disasters that people of old would fear..." Ojisan told him. No said anything for a little bit. I hadn’t said a single word this whole time, all I did was look down at the ground. 

 'Ah... don't be like that. It's not your fault you are truly useless and can't do anything.' You can guess you said that...

"As for why those guys would want their hands on the nine-tails... To be honest, I don't really know. But since you have the nine-tails sealed within you, I s'pose they're trying to find a way to harness and control its power. Those guys will keep on tryin' to get ya; it's a destiny you'll have to face up to... But when that happens, I'll be there to protect ya, so don't-"

"And that is exactly why I have to become stronger..!" Naruto said suddenly, cutting off Ojisan. "Okay... Let’s hurry up and find this Tsunade person! She'll fix Sasuke, and the we can finally start training!" He said with excitement, making me laugh slightly.

'That's Naruto all right.' I thought as I let out a small laugh. Right after I laughed Naruto looked over at me. I tilted my head to a side. "What?"

"How come the whole time pervy-sage was talking about the nine-tails inside me you didn't react at all?" He asked me, taking me by surprise. I looked over at Ojisan, silently asking him what to do, but all he did was nod him head, making me sigh and turn back to Naruto.

"Well... Ah... Because I had no reason to react to things I already knew about." I told him. 

"You knew! How!? And for how long?!" Naruto asked me, completely surprised by how calm I was. I scratched the back of my head.

"Uh.... I can't really say how I knew about you. But I have known ever since I first meet you. Remember when you ran into me at the hell hol- I mean the academy? I know that I wasn't 'here' when that damn fox attacked the village, but I have known about him since long before you were ever born." I told him before dropping my hand.

"So that's why you were trying to protect me so much when those too came after us. You knew what they were after. You didn't want them get their hands on the nine-tails." He told me, making me shake head.

"No Naruto. I was protecting you because outside our door was a rouge ninja I use to babysit when I was little and a giant fish man with a stick, and they were trying to get you, my little brother. I had never even heard of the Akatsuki till Itachi told us." I said simple with a shrug. I looked over and saw that Naruto was staring at me with his mouth wide open.

"You... Babysat... Itachi... Uchiha?!!!!!" He yelled making me and Ojisan cover our ears. I waited for him to stop yelling before I spoke again.

"Uh yeah... I never really got much money out of the rewards so I had to do a side job, and my teammate Obito, an Uchiha got me a job to babysit the five year old Itachi. Let me remind you that in reality, I am supposed to be the same age as your damn sensei Naruto, so that makes me a good five years older than Sasuke's older brother. Now get over here and help me walk." I told him, and like a good little brother, he did come over and wraped an arm around my waist as I placed one on his shoulder and began to walk, but it wasn't every enjoyable with the completely utterly shocked look on his face. I sighed after a few minutes.

"Okay, there is obviously something you still want to ask me, so spit it out. What it is?" I told him, making him finally close his mouth and make his face go red a little bit from embarrassment I’m guessing.

"Well... Uh... What did you mean that that guy should know your name very well or something. Or you, the fish guy." Naruto asked me. I placed a finger to my chin.

"Uh... That depends on the village he was from.... eh... What one did he saw he came from?" Naruto sweat dropped as I muttered the first part.

"You asked if he was from the Hidden Mist..." He said quietly. I could have sworn i heard him say something else after that which wasn't every nice, but I let that slide. I giggle softly.

"Oh!! That one!!! Hehe... Well, my Onii-chan was the one that got the Hidden Melody clan famous there... I guess they still hold a grudge against the clan for being more superior at water styled jutsus... I can't tell you any more about it, or else you won't be able to fall asleep for the next month." I said with a very evil look on my face, making Naruto pale slightly.

"O... Onii-Chan?! You have an older brother?!" Not the reaction I was looking for.... But I can deal... I shrugged.

"Had... I had an older brother... I thought I told you all about this Naruto... I had a brother, I had a mother, I had a father, and I had a grandpa. I had all of those all the way until I was four, and then they were all killed. Mother and father during a mission and grandpa and Onii-chan at home in the middle of the night. Not that it really matters any more, it happened over twenty years ago, and I know where ever I go, they watch over me." I patted Naruto's shoulder. "Now let’s go before we fall to behind and lose sight of the pervert of an uncle, or do you not want to find Tsunade-Obasan?'

"Wait... Hey Pervy-sage... Is this 'super babe' you were talking 'bout before...? Tsunade" Naruto asked Ojisan. Jiraiya stopped walking and faced us with a smile.

"Oh, you've gotten sharper already! Yes, it's her alright. What about it?"

"Is she one of the ones along with you, the people call the 'three legendary ninjas’?”

"Yeah, so?"

... 'Naruto... You better not be thinking what I think you are thinking...'

"How old is she?" 'Of course he asked that! God!!'

"My age" 'And of course you say it with a straight face Ojisan!!!'

'God! That lady must be ancient or something then!'

‘You’re older then her, by over a good hundred years, so what does that make you?'

'Shut it. I am like wine, the older the better.' I scoffed.

'Really? Well I think you are like milk, the further it gets past it's expiration date the worse it gets till it is unbearable and you have to throw it out. You sir, are so past that date that you have gone yellow, lumpy, smelly, and moldy.'

'You just wait until you pass out from exhaustion, I am paying to pay you back ten foul for that comment!'

'Yeah... Uh... Could I maybe get a rain check for that, seeing as I am going to do everything in my power to never let you have even the tiniest amount of control over me.'

'You just wait you little bitch. Some day you will think different of me... Just you wait.... Hehehehehehehehehe....'

'Yeah... I just can't wait to have a crazy psychopath take over me..... And last time I check, I wasn't the bitch, you were.' Suteki didn't say anything back to me, making me have a smug look on my face as I bested her, but talking to her made me zone out, so I didn’t hear most of what Naruto and Ojisan were talking about.

"- She's a compulsive gambler, and well known in a lot of countries..." I only heard half of what Ojisan had said.

"Well, she'll be pretty easy to find then, if she's so famous!"

"Oh, yeah, she's famous alright... She's known as... The legendary sucker!" I nearly fell over when I heard that. Everyone knew in the village before that Tsunade could win anything, but what did she have to do to get a nickname like that?

"Mmmmmmm... She may have a name but I don't think it'll be easy to find her... She ain't the type to age gracefully, so she'll probably being using a special jutsu to change her appearance... She may be 50; but she'll have the looks of a 20 year-old. And as I've been hearing lately... Sometimes she changes her appearance from a 10 year-old to a 30 year-old or 40 year-old to get away from her gambling debts..!" What Jiraiya just said sparked my curiosity. 'She can hide her age with a special jutsu?'

"That... That's not very.... good." Naruto said slowly and I nodded my head in agreement.

"Tsunade, as a kid, loved to gamble more than anything else. Unfortunately, she sucked at it both in skill and in luck! She had the name 'sucker' since long time ago. Back then, she was always borrowing money and then running away afterwards... Ah, those where the days."

"Ha! Miss them! Do you know how much money she took from me when I was a kid? And then I would lose even more when she tried to teach me how to gamble, saying it was a learning fee. She would all ways take twice as much when every I beat her at anything, which happened all the time! And when every I got angry at her, she would simple disappear and then wouldn't show her face for another week as I tried to earn back what she stole from me, and that’s why I had to babysit kids, She took all of my money... She is the definition of a sneaky ninja!" I scoffed as I said that and slowly paced a hand on the pocket where I held my wallet.

"Well, how-re we gonna find her then?" Naruto asked Ojisan and I.

"Since we're going by foot, there's all these ways of doing it." I replied.

"Eeehhh? That means we don't know how long it's gonna take!" Naruto whined.

"We don't have much time to spare. We'll be spending most of our time on our journey on you!" Ojisan told him. I really wanted to say that that's a hoax and that he'll probably spend most of his time with some pretty girl, but I kept my mouth shut.

"On me?" Naruto asked.

"We're gonna power you up! It's training time!" Jiraiya told him, making a smile light up on Naruto face. He took his arms away from me and took off his backpack and pulled out the thing that Gai had giving him

"I’m ready!!" He yelled as he was about to put it on. I almost died at the thought of him looking like Gai and Lee.

"No no... You are not wearing that... I ain't gonna be seen dead in the company of someone wearing that..." Ojisan told him. Naruto turned and faced me, giving me a puppy dog look.

"Hell no Naruto. I have been scar enough by two people wearing that, I don't want my eyes to be burned with the image with you in that." I told him before I turned around and got Ojisan to help me walk, leaving Naruto behind us.

'I don't know... I think he would look quite dashing in that outfit...'

'Where you dropped on the head as a kid, or are you naturally this insane... Oh wait, no, I think you are both...'

'I can't wait for you to pass out... All hell will break loose then!! Hahahahahaha!!'

'If all hell breaks loose, does that mean that that outfit thing will burn from the flames?'

--------------------------------------

So here is chapter 36!! I know short, and yes, it took me less than a week, and yes, writing this bugged me a lot... Mostly because I couldn't think of anything to write and it had Gai at the beginning, and just like with Sasuke, it's hard for me to write with him in it...... Gah!!!!

This chapter is still bugging me.... Grrrr....

Anyway.

COMMENT!!! (Please)
