Book One; Will of Fire (On Hiatus)

Festival, Birthday, Tea and Inu

My fifth birthday, I'll say, was the happiest day in my life! Jiraiya was there, Jiji was there, we were in the festival looking around and playing games.

And some games where it was old people who had them didn't say anything to me.-I'm very sure it's because they recognised me as the Yondaimes daughter in a heartbeat. Not that the other people said anything about it. The Jiraiya of the Sannin, and the Sandaime Hokage, was with me after all.

Jiraiya had a dull dark grey yukata with a black sash. A round red fan in his right hand. He wore his usual geta. His hair is the same as always, just missing his forehead gear or any armor on his body.

Jiji wore his usual Hokage clothes. Have no idea why he cant enjoy but I won't ask.

As for me, Jiraiya dragged me to a clothes store with a manager that doesn't hate my guts.

I also wore a yukata. It was purple with palish white flowers at the end and the end of the sleeves. I had a pink obi and my hair was sat op in two pig tails and just was able to brush my shoulders. I also walked in a pair of getas. They are actually very comfortable to walk in.

-I think I just saw Sasuke and Itachi paying for a mask.-

We even had a picture taken together on top of the Hokage Mountain. The background being the village at night with fireworks.
Jiraiya held me to his left side with his fan raised with the right. He was grinning down at me. Jiji was at the other side of me, his hat and pipe gone and held two gifts I got from him. It was a green frog costume(like Nagatos, Konans and Yahikos.) and a white dog costume in his left arm. His right arms was raised to balance me a little so I won't fall of from Jiraiya's arm. Why? Well, I was leaning too much at the left side. My arms were raised high up in the air and my hair was -because of the force of the wing my arms caused- a bit up. I was grinning such a big grin, with white teeth and all, you would wonder if it hurt and my eyes, even in the picture, was bright and sunny. I couldn't describe the happiness that was coming from the smile. I couldn't really believe at first it was me. Everytime I looked at the picture a warm fuzzy feeling warmed my body.

I wrote on the back. Jiji(A.k.a Sandaime Hokage or Sarutobi Hiruzen), Ero-sennin(a.k.a Jiraiya of the Sannin) and me. Celebrating my fifth birthday and the happiest memory I have yet and/or maybe ever. October tenth, 70 years after Konoha Creation.

I placed the picture in a picture frame and stilled it on the night table next to my bed. I had a lot of pictures, by the way. I had a book full of pictures when I was younger.

There is one with Teuchi-jiji and Ayame-nee. That day was the day I first tasted the godness of ramen. Ayame was staring and me with heart-eyes, squealing that I was cute. Teuchi-jiji was smiling his usual closed eye smile. It was jiji that took the picture. I was holding the chopsticks with very difficulty, there was some noddles on it and jiji took the picture as I opened my mouth to eat it and not spill it all over my clothes. - honestly, if it wasn't myself I would also have squealed at how cute I was. My eyes were so big and the pig-tails increased the cutety level. My cheeks was also flushed because of the heat from the restaurant and Ayame-nee.

There was also the one after my fifth birthday. It happened when Jiraiya and Jiji followed me home....

"So... will you invite us in?"

I cocked my head to the side, eyes twinkling."Hmm....nope! Hehehe."

"Naruto..."

"Yeah, yeah, just kidding! Come in, Ji-san, shishou, creepy guy with the mask."

Jiraiya sniggered at the Anbu's startled posture behind us on top of the building, before following us inside.

"This is...very homely, Naruto-chan."
