It was several months after Jiraiya's death when the

legal issues were at last settled. The village was still

rebuilding following Pein's attack and Naruto had been

busy chasing Sasuke and learning to fully master his

Biju's chakra. So when Tsunade had called him in the

last thing he'd expected was to be handed a copy of

Jiraiya's last will end testament.

"Ero-sennin left everything to me?" He said in a small

voice. The boy who had grown up too poor to afford

much of anything suddenly found himself a multi

millionaire and the owner of more than a dozen houses

and properties all over the world.

"Why are you so surprised Naruto?" Tsunade asked with

a grin. "You were his last and best student. He believed

in you and thought you would do great things. Who else

would he leave everything to? You are his legacy after

"His legacy?" Naruto asked sounding a bit confused.

"Well of course," Tsunade said. "He didn't just leave you

his property. He gave you his knowledge and put his

faith in you that you were the child of prophecy.

Everything he was he passed on to you Naruto. You are

his living legacy, you should do all that you can to

make Jiraiya proud and continue the great things he

did."

"You know I never thought about it that way," he

muttered. "But you're right baachan, I guess I am his

legacy and I owe it to him to try and carry on what he

began."

Tsunade felt a vein bulge at his calling her 'grandma'

once again but decided to let it go. "I think that would

be great Naruto, I know you would make him proud."

"That's what I'll do then!"

"Yo! Tsunade what did you want me for?" Naruto

strolled into the Hokage's office. He was dressed like a

sage with a massive scroll slung across his back. "If this

is about me peeping at the women's bath I can explain

that."

"It's not that you damn pervert," she growled at him.

"It's about this!"

She held out a little orange covered book with the title

'Icha Icha; The Next Generation.

Seeing it Naruto looked excited. "I know! Isn't it great! I

had no idea I could even write that stuff, but I guess

being with ero-sennin all that time it sort of rubbed off
