Jiraiya's Second Chance

2nd Chance

Lord Ryu was fuming. What does she see with that fumbling old man? True he wiped out her memory and replaced it with a fake one but when he makes advances to her; she would call out the name of that white hair sannin. It was utterly disturbing and a big turn off.

He didn't want to force himself to her because if she struggles, the genjutsu might be broken and all the other people will see her as she is. It's strange though that the genjutsu did not work on the old man. He still sees her as she is when no one else can.

Never mind that though, he calmed himself. When we are out of this dreadful village she will be mine whether she like it or not. And I, will have eternal youth and power. Lord Ryu smiled at this thought as he glanced at his companion gazing quietly towards the direction of Konoha.

Lord Ryu was still caught up in his own thought when he heard a loud crash in front of his entourage. Standing there in front of them was a massive man with long spikey white hair. He was in a stance ready to fight.

This is bad.

"What is the meaning of this? Are you going to risk international conflict for your delusion?" He called out to the old man.

"You will give Aikiko back or I will wipe out all of you." Jiraiya warned.

"Will you attack me knowing she is beside me?" Then Lord Ryu suddenly jumped out of the carriage grabbing Lady Yuri with him.

Then with a hand sign, tentacles made of stone started striking toward Jiraiya.

Jiraiya easily side step the attack and he started to blow fire from his mouth. However, he has to pull back when he realized that the crazy man was putting Lady Yuri in front of him as a shield.

Bastard! Jiraiya thought to himself.

Then suddenly, Lord Ryu threw Lady Yuri towards Jiraiya. Jiraiya jumped to catch her only to feel a stab wound to his side. Lady Yuri stabbed him. But when he looked at her eyes it looked blank.

She started fighting him. He didn't know she can do taijutsu but she sure was giving him a beating. All he can do was defend as he tried to figure out how to break the genjutsu.

Then all of a sudden, one of the tentacles came crashing toward them. Without thinking Jiraiya jumped to cover Lady Yuri. The tentacles pierced through his shoulder and he gave out a shout of pain and spitted out some blood. Lady Yuri who was laying directly beneath him gave a look of shock as his blood dripped on her.

In this instance the bracelet in his hand and Lady Yuri's necklace started to glow simultaneously. A second tentacle was coming their way to hit them both again. Jiraiya concentrated his chakra to harden his hair as a shield but before the tentacle can reach them a great ice wall blocked the incoming tentacle. Then the ice shield thickened to a hard circular globe with both of them inside.

When he looked down he saw Aikiko's eyes on him with tears. "Jiraiya sama you are hurt!" She cried out. Immediately she started applying healing chakra on his shoulder.

"Aikiko?" He asked tentatively. "Yes it's me, don't worry I'll heal you." came the reply.

Jiraiya grabbed Aikiko and gave her a very hungry kiss. "Your wound.." But she can't continue what she was about to say as she has to answer back the kiss.

When they separated they were both panting. "What happen?" Aikiko asked in a small voice.

"That bastard tried to kidnap you from me. He will pay dearly. Lower the shield Aikiko." Jiraiya commanded.

"Wait, let me finish this first." As she continue to heal his shoulder.

"This is nothing. Lower the shield and I'll finish this moron."
