Jiraiya's Second Chance

Ominiscient

Jiraiya had been away for a month now,Aikiko mused. He is on mission one after another. The last time they were together was not very pleasant.

He came home very drunk and was very mad accusing her of flirting with other men.

He then jumped on her and forced himself to her. It was like reliving nightmares from long ago.

He was able to do as he please as he was stronger. But in the morning, she never saw him again. There was just a scribble note of apology and a promise that it will never happen again and a short line about how he will be on missions.

The only time she saw him again was in the hospital. He was hurt and one of his comrades was critical. Good thing that one too recovered shortly.

She didn't know what's going on but she heard people whispering about him being careless and causing his comrades to get hurt.

Aikiko refused to believe that about her husband. But she cannot ask him because he had been distant and cold saying just one line here and there whenever he got home from the hospital.

They were doing fine after the festival and then it went downhill from there. He became very irritable and suspicious again.

Aikiko sighed. She must focus on this new jutsu she just learned from Iruka. It's a called transportation Jutsu. There are many ways to do it but the one she found easy was with tags. If you put certain tags on appropriate distance, or as far as your chakra can reach, then you can travel from one place to another in second. The fourth Hokage was even able to use it as a fighting strategy said the book found in the library. Of course she diligently studied the different variety of this jutsu, whatever version she can have access too.

You see, Aikiko has a plan. She noticed that her husband had been getting hurt during the last few missions so she decided she will not allow it anymore.

She learned a tracking Jutsu where you can put something on another individual and you can find out where they are. But better than that, she found in an old library book, if you can imbedded a jewelry of both blood and chakra of another person, you will be able to feel not only where they are but also their current state if they are in peril or not.

Unbeknownst to Jiraiya, she was able to do that when he was sick and she was taking care of him. He was able to draw some blood from him when she was cutting his toe nails. And she was able to capture some of his chakra one time he was drunk and was demonstrating one of his jutsu.

She embedded both in two stones, one she gave Jiraiya as a bracelet, and one she wore around her neck as a pendant.

So now she can feel if he is in trouble or not. The teleportation Jutsu is the next step so she can reach him where he is.

Iruka said that the distance you can teleport to your target depends on how strong your chakra is. But as long as you can feel your target, such as the tags, you should be able to teleport to the target's location.

So far so good, she just needed to perfect controlling the distance she wants to keep from the target.

It's a good plan theoretically, and she believes it may work.

Jiraiya is already out of breath. He can feel his chakra draining but he has to keep the pursuing mist nins at bay to at least give his two already wounded teammates a chance of escape.

The mission had gone terribly wrong. Admittedly, his carelessness had now put him and his team in this position. Tairu, a class S rouge ninja was after the scroll they have to deliver. He under estimated the strength of the ban of thieves after them.
