Chapter 2: I'm… the Hokage?

"Oh baby, I'm tellin' ya, you gotta love the Leaf village. The girls here are off the charts!" Jiraiya said happily as he was using his telescope to peek at women. It was then he sensed 2 people behind him.

"Still playing the buffoon, I see…" Homura said as he and Koharu had finally found Jiraiya. Jiraiya chuckled nervously as he began to put his telescope away and turn to them.

"Just doing a little research… So, Old Man Homura and Koharu-sensei, what could you 2 scholarly advisors want with me?" Jiraiya asked in all seriousness.

"Don't waste our time; you should know perfectly well what this is all about." Homura stated.

"Come on, why the long faces guys? From what I heard talks with the Sand village went off without a hitch." Jiraiya said with a shrug.

"The Sand village stated publicly that Orochimaru was the cause for all of this, and has offered their complete surrender to us, but that is not what this is about." Homura said. They then told him of the things they were doing to control the situation, but then came the part Jiraiya didn't want to here.

"But first… we need a strong and trustworthy leader." Koharu said as Jiraiya sighed.

"Look guys, I don't know why you're going through the trouble of explaining all this to me. Now if you don't mind, I've got-." Jiraiya said as he pulled his telescope back out, but was cut off by Homura.

"I think you'll be interested in what we're about to say; especially since it concerns you." Homura said quickly and in a stern tone.

"This village needs the Godaime Hokage immediately" Homura started as Koharu finished for him.

"And yesterday, at an emergency meeting, with the Lord of the Land of Fire and Shinobi Council present, it was decided… We chose-" Koharu was saying, but Jiraiya cut her off.

"Oh, I don't know… It's not up my alley to become Hokage, ya know. Got spy networks and agents to run, so can't do it." Jiraiya said as quickly as he could. He never wanted to become Hokage, it was just… not his thing, ya know.

"Don't worry, we don't want you." Homura said as Jiraiya fell over.

"Okay… then who, and why come to me?" Jiraiya said as he tried to think of the poor sap they wanted to be Hokage.

"We came to you because you are close to the one the Fire Lord has chosen and from the things we've heard, this person would like to hear this from a friendly voice rather than an Anbu summoning them to the Council Chambers." Koharu said as Jiraiya stroke a thinking pose.

"Okay… who's the poor sap- I mean, lucky and honorable bastard- I mean guy." Jiraiya said as the 2 elders sweat dropped at him.

"It is Naruto Uzumaki... Namikaze." Homura said as Jiraiya's eyes grew wide. His face then became stone serious at the mention of Naruto's true last name while Homura and Koharu were shocked Jiraiya could look that serious.

"Naruto, why Naruto?" Jiraiya asked more seriously than he ever had in his life. He'd kill for that boy. True, during Naruto's early life he wasn't around, but when he came back he promised himself to be damn well sure to make up for it. He was just glad Naruto had turned out far better than what he would or could have been had he been around. If Jiraiya was around with the things he heard civilians say back then. Well… Konoha would have been a toad's foot-print in the dust.

"The Fire Lord believes the boy to be the perfect choice as Hokage… and we agree. Young Naruto has the same personality as the Shodai and Nidaime Hokages. He also has the same upbringing of Hashirama-sensei did when he was small. Our fathers used to tell us stories of that time and we believe Naruto to be perfect for the Hokage title." Koharu said with a smile as Jiraiya watched her and Homura closely. If they had any evil plans for Naruto, then he'd deal with them… himself.
