Konohagakure – Hokage office

Tsunade had a serious expression as she turned off the video. Turning towards Jiraiya who looked the same she asked "what is the meaning of this Jiraiya" the toad Sannin had a grave expression "to tell you the truth hime. I don't know"

Tsunade's eyes narrowed "explain" Jiraiya just sighed "how can I explain if I don't know myself"

Tsunade looked a bit surprised at what he said "what"

Jiraiya nodded "Tsunade the answers all lied with Sensei. He was the one that should have known more about Naruto. But he let the council have too much power and let the boy run free. We should be glad he didn't leave the village then" Tsunade's eyes went wide. Her teammate was right Naruto was left to his own devices ever since he was a child. Who knows what would have happened. They should be glad he didn't leave then.

"But this doesn't make any sense he is growing too fast" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya who nodded "I agree hime but I think you are wrong about that"

"What do you mean" Jiraiya looked serious once more "I'm saying that Naruto isn't growing. He is set free"

"Set free" Tsunade was confused making Jiraiya sigh "yes hime, he was being held back so once that become public knowledge. Naruto lived up to his status as the rookie of the year"

Tsunade processed to what he said in her mind and then her eyes became wide "you mean he was hiding from us" she growled as she couldn't believe he was doing this to them to her.

"No he is not" Tsunade sighed in relief she almost jumped to conclusions.

"Then what are you saying Jiraiya" Tsunade started to get irritated making Jiraiya sigh.

"Hime the answers were on that film. The way he fought Doto, he said he was a novice but he showed he was not" Tsunade nodded making Jiraiya carry on "we have been to war before. If Naruto wasn't holding back then why is he this strong" the frog Sannin knew the answer but let Tsunade figure it out.

Tsunade started to think and her eyes went wide as she found her answer.

"Instinct" Jiraiya smiled "yes hime. Kenjutsu is an art that takes years of practice but there are those who gain it in a different way"

Tsunade shook as she didn't believe it but she said it anyway "are...are you saying he killed people" Jiraiya looked sad "yes hime. Naruto said on the film that it was a while he used a blade."

"Bu...but that doesn't make any sense" Tsunade looked frustrated.

"Hime did you remember in the shinobi war. When we slept we felt that an enemy might come to us at any time" Tsunade nodded looking serious. She remembered the fear, the adrenaline truly that was war. It gave them a great instinct.

Jiraiya knew what Tsunade was thinking as he thought of the same thing "Naruto may have experienced the same thing" Tsunade gasped now but before she said anything Jiraiya wanted to finish.

"Tsunade from the report I read when Naruto was young he used to get hunted down by both civilians and Shinobi. With nobody to trust, for Naruto it felt like he was sleeping in an enemy base where he could be attacked at any time. Sensei was truly foolish thus Naruto disappeared"
