Two months have passed, and Kumo has been a well-respected doctor at Suna's hospital. She even makes the kids in the sickly wards happy and helps to get them well again, but she is mainly known for patching up Suna shinobi from dangerous missions and civilians from accidents while enjoying her two weeks off from work. Kumo is currently training Spider and has been doing this for four days since Kumo's two-week break started. At training grounds ten, Kumo teaches Spider how to be a spider user by trusting every spider species and how to communicate with them. "You just need to feel their heart, trust how they tell you things," Kumo said as she stood behind Spider, sitting on the floor and meditating and concentrating while slowly breathing in and out, listening to her mentor's words. She had been doing this type of training for those four days. "Sensei!..." Spider called out as she remained in her meditated state. "Yes, Spider? What's wrong?." Kumo asked as she slowly walked around Spider, knowing there were a lot of tiny spiders circling Spider. Then Kumo was standing in front of Spider, curious about what she wanted, "Why are we training now and not investigating the death of others? The body count is slowly rising, and few people are buying it that you're not the cause!." Spider said as she slowly opened her eyes, but her mask never left her face. "I wanted you to be ready... And I wanted someone to carry on my teachings... And you were the best choice. I wanted to pass them down." Kumo started as Spider listened to her mentor. "And I know the body count is rising, and it's to help you to get stronger so you can protect the Kazekage and his family and friends," she said. Spider was super surprised that Kumo had this much faith in her, but Spider couldn't help but think about what to do if one of the Kazekage or his loved ones got hurt or something more serious, "I am aware of it. Spider... There's nothing I can do to help but treat the lucky ones to be found, and I can curse them..." Kumo said as she crossed her arms at her stomach. "Then how long will our visitor watch us from afar?." Spider said as she turned her head to her left and looked at Jiraiya standing beside a bolder person. Kumo followed her gaze.
"Don't worry, ladies, I come in peace," Jiraiya said as he walked towards them, but he took a second glance at the tall woman and was shocked. "Jorogumo... How are you even free!..." Jiraiya said as he was slightly speechless and had his jaw wide open. "I was set free by my new friends with whom I am deeply in debt." Kumo said, then Spider stood up, walked over to Kumo, and stood by her side, "What brings you here, Jiraiya?... Last I saw you, you almost killed me when I only wanted to be free." Kumo said annoyingly while Spider remained beside her, puzzled by Jiraiya's arrival. "I got word from my spy network that a tall woman was being trendy in Suna, and I also heard about people being found dead or the lucky ones being found and being cured," Jiraiya explained, then he looked at Spider. "Taken on an apprentice, Jorogumo?." Jiraiya asked as Kumo nodded. "But please call me Kumo Kinu. I've given up my original name, and I'd rather live and die like a human than live a long life as a Yokai." Kumo said as Jiraiya seemed somewhat impressed. Spider cleared her throat and gained the attention of the two. "I want to know if you have seen Lord Kazekage yet?." Spider asked, but Jiraiya shook his head. "I just got here, but since we're together, I would like an escort..." Jiraiya asked with his voice sounding scared and almost going a bit crackling. Kumo was a little puzzled, but Spider was laughing too hard. "Oh Kami!... You're still scared of Lady Karura!." Spider said as she couldn't stop laughing and leaning on Kumo as tears streamed down Spider's face, "Yes, yes, ha-ha!... I learnt my lesson last time..." Jiraiya started as he was a bit annoyed that he got reminded of his mistake. "Anyway... I came here because I heard Kushina moved here with her family?." Jiraiya asked as Spider tried to stop laughing, but Kumo nodded at Jiraiya. "Yes, she's here with her family and Tsunade." Kumo said, making Jiraiya pale, "Okay, before Mr. Bathhouse Spy passes out, just follow us." Spider said as she turned around with Kumo. They walked with Jiraiya, but Jiraiya couldn't help but glance at Kumo. "So... Come here often?." Jiraiya said, trying to break the ice, but the only thing that broke was his head after Kumo bonked it from that cheesy line. "Nice try, Jiraiya," Kumo said while Spider tried to contain her laughter with her hand over her mask and her other over her stomach. After half an hour's walk back into Suna, they headed for the Kazekage's mansion. It was a peaceful afternoon, and people were walking by. Even Naruto was coming to see what his Father wanted him for until he stopped. The same goes for everyone around him walking by, hearing a giant boom of screaming and yelling as the small group of people and Naruto looked up from the Kazekage's office window. "WHAT IS THIS BATHHOUSE PERVERT DOING HERE!!!...." Karura yelled and screamed as Naruto and the coward were pale and scared.
