The Little Senju (Little Senju Series Book One): A Naruto Fanfiction

The Little Senju and Ebisu and the Hot Springs

Izumi's POV

"The Jiraiya of the legendary sannin?!?" Rin's green eyes widened greatly and he nearly fell over, "Why in the world would you be looking for him?"

"Why wouldn't I be looking for Pervert-Chan?" I questioned making a quizzical expression while cocking my head to one side, "I haven't seen him for a very long time, so when I got a letter saying that he was the village of course I was going to look for him!"

"I'm just surprised you know such a powerful person..." he made an uncomfortable face, "There's so much I don't know about you..." he gave me a curious stare.

"Um... That's because we've only just met. Don't sound so surprised by every word I say." I sighed getting to my feet, "There's one place I haven't looked for him yet, so please don't stay at my house too long!" Rin was instantly right behind me, "And I'm guessing you want to come with me..." I sighed again placing a single hand on my hip, "Wait a minute while I lock the door..."

. . .

A cloud had covered the bright afternoon sky leaving a mild chill in the air, but it went unnoticed as Rin and I headed in the direction of the village hot springs. Rin easily kept up with my fast pace as I gracefully came to a stop watching two individuals that appeared to be training at the hot springs. One was Naruto and the other was Ebisu Sensei.

Ebisu's POV

I gave Naruto a brief explanation on how to walk on water using only his chakra, then showed him how it was done. He then tried himself without much luck, "Not quite..." I chuckled pushing up my glasses, "Oh by the way... This is a hot spring in case you'd forgotten. If you keep falling in like that you'll be boiled like a lobster!" I commented as the blond pulled himself from the water.

"Very funny...!" he grumbled with a frustrated expression, "I've got it now!" Naruto announced before falling into the water again.

"Oi, Ebisu Sensei!" a familiar voice called causing me to turn around in order to see Izumi standing not far away along with a boy that had long green-hair that fell nearly to his waist, "It's been a long time!"

"Ah Izumi..." I couldn't help the surprise in my voice as I looked on at one of my old students, "Kakashi did say there was someone else that I would be training as well... It's good to see you! Who's the one beside you from the hidden rain?"

Izumi laughed slightly at that. She was definitely a lot different than the shy girl I'd trained before, "Sorry sensei, I don't want to train with you. You give way too many long explanations!" Is this from spending too much time with Naruto? "And this person... Don't mind them... They're just a stalker!" she laughed again while the boy gave her an annoyed stare.

"I told you that I only followed you because I was worried since you just got out of the hospital!" he snarled crossing his arms, "My name is Rin Nishimura!" the boy bowed politely, "It's a pleasure to meet you sir!"

"Whoa... I'm actually starting to get this..." Naruto gasped as he stood with water only going up to his ankles. He'd been so focused on the exercise that he hadn't noticed the appearance of the other two, He's right... Too think that he's already started to master it! I pushed up my glasses again as I became lost in thought, I never would've imagined that he would've come so far... Perhaps there is more within you than a demon spirit! Naruto made a horrified face and pointed past me at something.

"That was a nice try Naruto!" Izumi smiled helping him from the hot water, "I'm sure you'll get even closer next time!"

Izumi's POV

As I helped Naruto from the water I heard creepy laughter and I turned my head sharply in the opposite direction only to see a man with spiky, white hair looking directly into the women's bath, Pervert-Chan... You never change. I really should've looked here first...

"Hmm..." Ebisu chuckled looking out from behind his glasses at Pervert-Chan, "Are you peeking in the women's bath old man?" he asked calmly, "I will not allow such behavior!!!" he charged for the white-haired man.

"Oh please!" Pervert-Chan made a quick hand sign and suddenly there was a toad? A long pink tongue flew from the toad's mouth and wrapped around Ebisu Sensei's midsection and with that he was hoisted into the air and slammed to the ground with great force leaving the man passed out, "What's wrong with you? Keep it down! Do you want to get us busted you idiot?!?"

Naruto stood in awe at the white-haired man whom simply chuckled lightly, "Okay, frog man!" Naruto burst out raising his fists at the man, "What was that all about?!?" he continued, "Who do you think you are anyway?!?"

Oh great.... What's he going to do now... ? "I'm glad you asked!" Pervert-Chan swirled his head around and struck a dramatic pose, "That's right it is I the toad mountain sage!" Really...?

"What toad sage?" Naruto asked intrigued by the man, "Well listen you Pervy Sage!" he challenged once again, "What're you going to do about this?!? This guy is supposed to be training me and you laid him out flatter than a bath mat!"

"Well, he shouldn't have interrupted my research!" You disgusting... "You see I'm a novelist... I'm a writer of great books... Like this!" he pulled an orange book from his coat that was identical to the one that Kakashi Sensei is always reading.

Huh? I gave a surprised look in his direction, Pervert-Chan wrote that? I really shouldn't have been surprised since one time I borrowed Kakashi Sensei's book the one time... Big mistake. I've never been more disturbed in my life. How can he read something like that?

Naruto yelled something causing all the women in the bath to run away and left Pervert-Chan nearly in tears, "Look at what you've done! You've ruined my peeking! I mean my research!" the man cried out.

"Dirty old man!"

"You little... There's nothing dirty about it! I happened to be a professional that's inspired by youth and beauty that's all!"

"Are you two done yet?" I sighed placing my hands upon my hips.

"Izumi, long time no see!" Pervert-Chan gave me a curt wave and with that he made a quick hand sign creating a wind style jutsu before disappearing.

"He takes all the trouble of contacting me and then runs away when I finally find him?!? I swear when I find you Pervert-Chan... I'm going to kill you!!!"
