Third Person's POV

Naruto was with Gaara standing over the Great Stone Faces. They were talking about the Chunin Exams and the finals. It was quiet for a while until Naruto spoke up
"Are you alright Gaara?" Gaara was surprised, he didn't expect this question from him
"During your fight with Bushy brows.. it's like.. you were different" Naruto said as Gaara's heart started pounding out of fear of what the blonde will say next.
"I.." Gaara tried to speak but he couldn't, Naruto softened his expression and put his hand on Gaara's shoulder
"You don't have to tell me, but know that I'm here for you!" Naruto said with a grin, he then looked over the village and crossed his arms
"And I'm sure Bushy brows will be okay. He's strong! He'll surely recover!" Naruto exclaimed. Gaara could only look down at his feet. Naruto put his hands on his shoulder making Gaara look up at Naruto.
"Good luck in the finals!" Naruto said as he smiled. Gaara smiled a small smile as he looked down again
"You too.." after their talk they separated eays as Gaara will go back to where he's staying and Naruto will set out to sneak in the hospital.

He arrived behind the hospital and applied chakra to his feet and walked on the walls. He stops by a room guarded with Anbu, he supresses his chakra and looks through the window to see Sasuke sleeping peacefully
"Well, looks like he's okay.." Naruto murmured as he walked to another room, he looked through the window to see Lee sleeping. He held a worried look as he muttered
"You better recover Bushy brows!" he then left the hospital building.

It's been a few weeks and the finals was coming. As much as he wants Kakashi to train him he knows that Kakashi will have to turn him down and train Sasuke. Naruto understood why, since they both have the Sharingan and that Sasuke needs a proper guide. Naruto was fine training alone, with Kurama of course. Lost in his thoughts, he didn't realize he wandered to where the Bath house is, he inhales the fresh air from the nearby water to calm his senses. Until he heard a man giggling. He looked over the bath house to see a tall man with long spiky white hair peeking through the bath house with a perverted look. Naruto grew a tick mark but then grinned as he went near the man and coughed.
"Kyaa!! There's a pervert peeking!!" Naruto yelled imitating a girls voice. The man flinched as a sea of women rushed out of the bath house leaving the man twitching. He grew a tick mark and looked at Naruto
"What do you think you're doing brat?! You ruined my research!" the man said, Naruto held a shocked face
"Hah? You call that research? You were just peeking on women, ya know!" Naruto said. He then tilted his head to the side
"Anyway, who are you?" he asked, the man had a smirk plastered on his face.

He went a few steps away and did a dance
"I am the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku. Jiraiya-sama!" he said as he did a pose. Naruto sweat drop as he slumped
"Sennin?.." he asked as Jiraiya nodded proudly. Then Naruto smiled widely
"Then, Ero-Sennin! If you're great then why don't you train me?" he asked, Jiraiya slumped from the nickname but put a hand on his cheek as he looked up
"Should I..?" he muttered, Naruto looked at him with hope in his eyes. Jiraiya glanced at him then sighed
"You're ruined my research so no" he stated as Naruto's jaw dropped. Jiraiya then went on his way as Naruto growled and followed.

"Why do you want him to train you kit? You're fine by yourself" Kurama said as he yawned,
"No Kurama, it has to be him" Naruto replied emphasizing 'has'. Kurama can only sigh.

Jiraiya was eating dango peacefully just when Naruto went in front of him with a grumpy face
"Come on Ero-Sennin! Train me!" he insisted as Jiraiya ate the last dango and put the stick on the plate
"I can't train you, I have important things to do" hs said as he sipped from his cup of tea. Naruto raised a brow
"Like peeking on women?" Jiraiya choked a bit from what he said
"Other than that there are important things I must do" he said as he stood up and was about to leave. Naruto went in front of him forcing Jiraiya to stop walking
"You leave me no choice.." Naruto said as he did a hand sign. Kurama sweat dropped
