Strings Of Destiny

Client

"He...left I made him leave early" Darel answered to which Naruto just sighed must have been harsh for the poor guy getting lucky then having to get up with what would have been the biggest hangover yet.

"You don't think less of me now do you Naruto-kun?" Darel asked in a teasing tone and Naruto shook his head, he knew what she was thinking but he didn't care that she was having sex with strange men after all Jiraiya had sex with strange women all the time.

"Well I'm gonna go find my godfather...and see if he's presentable...thank you for letting me stay" Naruto told Darel bowing slightly before leaving the bar.

"You're a curious little one aren't you Naruto-kun?" Darel asked staring at the door Naruto had left through a small smirk on her face.

Naruto walked into the hotel Jiraiya had booked and as he got to the room the smell of alcohol and sex attacked Naruto's sense of smell placing his hand on the door knob Naruto sighed at his sensei's carelessness the door was open.

Walking into the room Naruto stared stoically at the scene in front of him, passed out on a bed was Jiraiya who had a cover over him to his side were two women completely naked. Naruto had to shake his head as he saw the wedding ring on one of the women's finger. Was it okay to sleep with whoever someone wanted to?

Naruto was always told by Jiraiya that when it came to matters like this it was always better to just move on and not look back that way you couldn't hurt anyone or yourself with sex, Naruto always wondered if Jiraiya had anyone he loved since it always seemed that Jiraiya never cared about the women he slept with since it seemed he was doing it as a way to escape more than anything.

"Oi...Jiraiya-Sensei" Naruto said watching Jiraiya slowly open his eyes squinting to see Naruto as all he could see in his vision was blurry objects.

"Oh...hey kid, where am I?" Jiraiya asked making Naruto sweat drop yep his sensei had been far to wasted last night.

"In your words...paradise" Naruto replied back nodding his head towards the two woman to which Jiraiya looked at them for a moment through his squinted eyes all he could see was a blur of blonde and two big round things.

"T-Tsunade?" Jiraiya questioned in a whisper and Naruto couldn't hear him properly.

"What?" Naruto asked and Jiraiya looked at the woman a little closer and realized it wasn't his fellow Sannin it was in fact someone far more important at this present time which made Jiraiya bang his head off the wall at his stupidity.

"Hey Naruto...could you give me a few minutes?" Jiraiya asked and Naruto looked at him for a few moments before sighing...yeah he was going to leave the room for a few moments to allow his Sensei to get dressed since that was one part of his Sensei Naruto did not want to see.

After his Sensei had got dressed Naruto walked in to see one of the women quickly rush out of the room the woman had long blonde hair, she didn't really have any other character traits but Naruto assumed she'd be a face easy to forget. Raising an eyebrow however at the blonde married woman still sitting on the bed Naruto became confused as to why she didn't get out of here as well. Looking towards Jiraiya Naruto saw him pinching his nose in frustration.

"Naruto I have a very important mission for you" Jiraiya stated getting Naruto's attention.

"There's been some trouble north at the borders of Hi No Kuni tensions between Tsuchi No Kuni are building and Sensei has asked me to calm the situation down from what Sensei has stated it's pretty bad so I might be gone for a while" Jiraiya explained to which Naruto nodded the relationship between the two countries was as fragile as glass and the slightest thing could set off another war.

"In the meantime I want you to complete our current mission" Jiraiya told Naruto making his eyebrow tick...they were here on a mission?

"Remind me again Sensei what that mission was?" Naruto asked rolling with the punches.

"We were hired by a very wealthy client to provide protection for his wife while also locating a mass murderer in this town" Jiraiya further explained and again Naruto found his eyebrow ticking...now of all times he tells him this information.

"Okay...and do you have any ideas as to who it is?" Naruto questioned but knew the answer when he saw Jiraiya's grin.

"Nope...I was going to scout last night...but it seems I was a bit distracted" Jiraiya said laughing while scratching his head all the while the woman on the bed blushed.

"I had noticed...any way where is the client's wife?" Naruto asked if this woman needed protection then Naruto thought he might as well start the mission now.

"Well you see...the thing is she's sitting right here" Jiraiya answered looking towards the blonde haired woman on the bed, Naruto stood there wide eyed his Sensei couldn't really be that stupid could he?

Seeing Jiraiya's grin Naruto slapped his forehead this was by far the most complicated mission he had ever been on...not to mention his Sensei was leaving him for a while to look after this woman.

"Okay..." Naruto responded again he was going to just let this go...since the client didn't know Jiraiya had slept with his wife.

"Anyway...this is Tsunere" Jiraiya told Naruto making Naruto raise an eyebrow thinking back he was sure Jiraiya had mentioned a friend or something who had a similar name in the past however quickly shrugging it off Naruto nodded.

"Okay well I'll let you two get to know one another...good luck kid remember trust no one" Jiraiya stated stroking his hands on the shoulder of Tsunere before placing his hand on Naruto's head and walking out of the room.

Looking at Tsunere Naruto had no idea what to say too the woman she was wearing a backless white dress with a long brown skirt. At first glance Naruto wouldn't suspect Tsunere being a wife of a rich client but he assumed Jiraiya had some involvement in this to make her look more like an average person. What worried Naruto now was who exactly was killing the people in this town since the sooner this mission was completed the sooner they'd be able to get the pay from the mission and Naruto needed money so he could send it to Nimato in Konoha.

Thinking about the current mission...Naruto frowned as he knew no one in this town the only person he could potentially cross out from being a suspect would be Darel as there was no way someone that kind could be a killer. Frowning again at the thought of this being his first real mission by himself Naruto could have punched his Sensei at the mess he had left him in...but then again this was a good thing since now Naruto could prove himself.

"Uhm...Naruto-kun?" Tsunere said wanting to break the awkward silence since it seemed Naruto had been staring at the same spot for the last ten minutes. Snapping out of his trance Naruto looked at the woman and narrowed his eyes.

"Sorry...don't worry I'll protect you" Naruto stated to Tsunere this mission was going to be a test of his skills he needed to keep an eye open on everyone and for both his and Jiraiya's sake not let the client find out what his wife did with Jiraiya.

............................

I know many of you must feel bored by this flashback chapters but for me its important as we all know Naruto is dying and due to this he is trying to leave a legacy behind by telling Izumi of his first kill.

Till next time, stay safe and happy !!
