Naruko's POV

Currently, Naruto and I were walking down the road with Pervy Sage. "I'm looking for a certain woman," he said. I raised an eyebrow curiously, "If this is for your 'research', then count me out!" I yelled, putting my hands on my hips.

Jiraiya frowned and turned his back, walking away. "I guess I won't teach you guys a new jutsu..." he said, shrugging, "I'll teach it to Sasuke instead." Naruto's head shot up, and he ran to stop Jiraiya from leaving.

I quickly followed, standing next to Naruto in order to block the sage's path. Jiraiya grinned, "I suppose it's settled then."

"Alright, I'll go pack! Wait here!!!" Naruto yelled, racing off. I sighed, as did Jiraiya. "I'm gonna go pack too. Adios!" I saluted him as I walked away.

"Well? Come on Pervy Sage! What's this new jutsu?" Naruto asked, walking in between Jiraiya and I.

"Let's hear it already!" Naruto whined.

Jiraiya turned to the side, looking down at Naruto with his nose in the air, "You have no idea how amazing of a guy I am, do you?!" He exclaimed.

"What? Amazingly pervy?" Naruto commented, making me laugh quietly.

"Alright, listen up!" Jiriaya said, jumping onto the bridge in front of us.

As weird as it sounds, he began to dance, stomping his feet in various patterns and waving his arms around like a crab. "The Toad Sage is only my cover!" He sang. "Allow me to reveal my true identity!" He said, grabbing his bangs and swinging his hair around.

"From the north, to the south, and the east, to the west! Not even the spirits can defeat this Sannin!" He paused and pressed his hand to the base of the bridge, creating a cloud of smoke that veiled him. It quickly cleared with a breeze, revealing a large toad that he was standing upon,

"The White Maned Toad Charmer! A red hot ninja that strikes fear in the hearts of men! Master Jiraiya, ha!" He shouted.

"Yes! I'm speaking of none other than myself!" Jiraiya laughed, pointing a thumb at his chest. Naruto and I stared at him, frowning.

"Sure." We chorused, walking past Jiraiya and his toad together.

Naruto and I stared up at a sign that read, 'Otafuku Town, 10 km'.

"Hey! Pervy Sage! Wait up!" Naruto said, running up to him as we saw him walking away. "Naruko and I must be potential geniuses in the making, since you chose us to travel with you!" He said with a big grin on his dopey face.

"Well, kids, the Fourth Hokage used to be a diciple of mine. And you both bear such striking resemblances to him, that it's almost laughable! Sorry, that's the only reason I got for you." Jiraiya shrugged, walking forwards.
