J - Jiraiya
KK - Kimimaro Kaguya
KY - Kabuto Yakushi
SC - Shadow Clone

Naruto's POV
KN "Alright, one of us will take Orochimaru head on, one of us will take care of Kabuto, and the last one will support the other two and keep anyone else out of the way."

J "I'll take Orochimaru, he's my old teammate so I-"

KN "No. I'll take him down myself. I don't doubt you can do it, but I don't want to risk him getting into your head, or exploiting any weaknesses he knows. Besides I already know his tricks, and I know how to take him down for good."

K "Not that I want to, but is there a reason I can't do it?"

KN "Uh yeah, he's the one who killed you in my time."

K "Fair enough, I'll stop questioning that then."

KN "Good. Pervy Sage, I want you to take on Kabuto. He shouldn't be too strong right now, but he'll still have quite a few tricks. He's a medical ninja, so he'll try to outsmart you and demoralize you rather than fight you head on."

J "Alright, I can deal with that."

KN "Kakashi, that leaves you as our backup, I'll send a few clones with you just in case but I believe you can handle anyone he's got just fine."

K "Not a problem."

KN "Good."

J "Kid you're sounding like Minato right now."

K "That's what I was thinking. Reminds me of when Sensei would direct us during missions."

KN "Ah... haha, I mean he's my dad ya know?"

J "You alright?"

KN "Yeah, it's just a weird feeling to be compared to dad... I only met him twice."

J "Ah, makes sense."

K "Y-you met Minato Sensei?"

KN "Hm? Yeah, he put some of his Chakra into the ninetail's seal so I got to meet him once when I almost post control, also during the war a bunch of dead people came back to life sort of? So he was there too."

J "Interesting."

K "I see."

KN "Well then... are we ready?"

J "Yeah."

K "As I can be running into the den of Orochimaru."

KN "Great! Let's go!"

//////////////////////

J "Have you located them?"

KN "Yeah... Kabuto is in the northern most room, there's someone near him... they feel familiar?"

K "Familiar?"

KN "Yeah but I can't place it... they feel very... boney?"

J "That's what she said."

K "Master Jiraiya, shut the fuck up."

KN "Oh. Bones. It's Kimimaro. He shouldn't be a problem for you I don't think, he's really sick right now, like he's dying. He can kind of just spontaneously grow bones and use them as weapons, it's really gross, so watch out for that."

J "Alright."

KN "Orochimaru is to the just East to the center of the base. There's no one who'll be a threat near him, the only living beings nearby are his experiments... but to the Southwest, there's a few others. I believe they're the sound ninja 4, they were a problem back when we fought them, but to be fair we were only genin. They'll be easy enough to take care of."
