Recap:

"Resurrection Jutsu: Edo Tensei!" Shouted Tobi. A coffin emerged from the ground and was kicked open from the inside. A familiar face was shown and Tobi went to the man from behind.

"I-I'm alive?" The man stuttered, confused.

"Look out!" Naruto shouted and the man ducked in time for the object in Tobi's hand to hit into the coffin and shatter it. Leaving the man to stay between life and death until he was unsummomed once more.

"Where are we?" A white spiky haired man asked Naruto as he back kicked his heel into Tobi's stomach and sent him soaring.

"You're dead!" Tobi shouted angrily at his creation.

"Actually...I'm alive in a vessels body." The white haired man says.

"Jiraiya Sensei!" Minato says loudly in surprise.

"Master." Naruto says trying to catch his breath.

"Calm down Naruto." Sasuke says with authority. Naruto breathes deeply, then after a minute closes and reopens his eyes. He was feeling like he was going to hyperventilate.

"My students, it's great to see you again. Does this mean Lady Kushina is here as well?" Jiraiya asks.

"No Sensei... Only the four Hokage were summoned by Orochimaru." Minato says.

Naruto keeps his eyes locked on his late Master. The man has black and red eyes, "How dare you do this!" He yells and using chakra, he puts his wind element into the jutsu and whips it at Tobi. Tobi dodges in time, but suddenly Naruto's eyes are crimson red and then he uses his yellow second level Kyuubi form. He fights Tobi angrily, with vicious blood thirsty killing intent as malicious as the Kyuubi itself radiates off of Naruto's own Chakra.

"Naruto, look out!" Minato shouts and transports to Naruto seconds before Jiraiya was able to slam into anything and gets the boy out of harms way. "You idiot! You could have been killed!"

"Jiraiya..." Was all Naruto could say. Horror struck that his Master had come at him with the intent to kill him.

"I'm sorry, even without ththat jutsu...I can't control my body." Jiraiya says his teeth clenched and his facial features full of anger and pity.

"I understand Master... but you do realize. This will be the second and last time that you will be killed by one of your students? Do you not remember how you died the first time!?" Naruto shouted with ferocity.

"I remember all too well. Hurry up and show me what you've learned since my death, for I want to know what the child of profecy can do on his own." Jiraiya says, his body moving into a taijutsu stance. Naruto sighs and looks deep into his Master's eyes.

"Master, I don't wish for you to die again. It almost killed me the first time. If I see your death, it'll kill me as well...because this time it's going to be by my hand." Naruto said, tears streaking down his face and his teeth bared as he let the tears free.

"I'll help you my son." Minato said while putting his hand on his son's shoulder.

Naruto looked at Minato then nodded, "So you finally met the man you've idolised for years, eh Naruto?" Jiraiya says with a smile.

"Hai...I found out something Master! My mother was Kushina Uzumaki, and my father...Jiraiya, my father was the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze! I defeated the Kurama because of my parents and I'm glad of my lineage. I'm glad I am your Godson!" Naruto says while they begin to circle in a three man group. Father, son and Godfather in a two on one death match.

"I'm glad to know that the child of profecy truly was you all along." Jiraiya says.

"Not true, it's true I am one of the children... But, the truth of the matter is Sensei, that Nagato and Yahiko, Konan and Sasuke..all five of us were all part of the profecy. I am the shinobi, the ninja you wrote of in your tales of a gutsy ninja. I will never go off that path, for I inherited my ninja way from my teacher." Naruto says as they strike each other then jump away from each other.

Jiraiya smiles, "You've grown my student...but have you surpassed your father?" He asks. Minato smiles, "He surpassed me when he chose to go as far as saving a village full of villagers that dispised him for his entire life, and when he took down Pein all the while never truly releasing the Kyuubi. Yes, my child has surpassed me. He has surpassed us all Sensei." Minato says.

After about an hour, Hinata and Kiba smiled at Shino and Akamaru... "We have accomplished our missions first task, now we need to keep the mission this way. Then after that, we'll get to our second mission... " Hinata says while holding her cousin's hand tightly.

"After this, we will save my father." Neji says and all the other four said Hai in unison.
