Journey Of A Soul - A Naruto Fanfic

2 years later

I woke up early this morning exited, why you ask? i can finally explore the village freely starting today. i completed my morning rituals in light speed and started going for breakfast.

'good morning matron-baachan, miki-obasan' i greeted those two and other kids i am familiar with. i am kinda famous in the orphanage since a year ago when i started to emulate naruto where he says "i will become hokage" i say "i will be the strongest".

i am also identified as a prodigy of the orphanage and i had many friends or minions like issho who is an year older and ibuki who is the same age as me. i was also the strongest under 7 in the orphanage due to my strong core which is almost at the acadamy graduate level along with my attainment in tijutsu which is mostly my self developed hand to hand combat techniques which along with haki i can handle genin ninja with ease. with my back toy bo staff, i could just take out high genin easily.

a lot of kids here idolize me due to my helpful nature, calming effect when i am near due to an aspect of nature in me and charisma, well enough about that i almost feel shy thinking like this (not really lol)

i have completed and extended the tasks i set out for my training. with my regenerative power i could strain my muscles as much as i can and it would only become more resilient and at 3 years old i almost look like a 5 year old.

after breakfast, i set out of orphanage with my kunai pouch, some money i saved and my bostaff. i was dressed in a light blue kimono and pants and after checking with matron and miki obasan i left the orphanage.

'now what to do' while i was thinking what to do with my new found freedom, i sensed a large chakra, somewhat concealed within my periferal. i was curious to find who it was due to their chakra having an aspect of nature to it. i started going in that direction.

when i found who it was i almost fanboyed on spot. if not for my self control i would have anyways. with large spiky white hair and red kimono along with the big a.s.s scroll on the side almost any fan can easily recognise the ero-senin jiraya the sanin. he was sitting cross legged on the tree branch with s binoculars and giggling perversly.

seeing this i started planning my introduction, suddenly i got an idea and an evil smirk spread accross my face. with a loud voice i called out to him.

'hey jisan what are you doing on that tree branch with a binoculars' and that got his attention.

he looked at me and started speaking - 'who are you gaki, i am busy right now shoo shoo' ana made a shooing motion with his hands.

that got me pissed off somewhat. i knew he was a super pervert and all, but what the hell is he doing treating a kid like that. i stealthly made my way to the branch beside him without making a sound and took out my bo staff. i cladded it with armament along with my hand and hit him on the b.u.t.t with all my feeble strenght.

to his surprise he felt it and started flying towards th bath house before he had a chance to get his balance he was inside the bath house where loud screams came out, but th loudest was from jiraya himself.

sattisfied with my plans fruits, i started looking at his bag and found the icha icha book. i took it since it would be useful and there are a bunch of them. mostly i wanted to find how good it was. if anyone found i could always say he gave it to me anyways.

after that i started making my way away from there before he returns from my prank, but suddenly i was lifted from the ground by the nape of my neck.

jiraya- what was that for gaki, do you know who i am?? you are in a lot of trouble now. where are your parents, take me to them.

i looked back at him and said 'dont have any, i am an orphan! old man'

after hearing this he put me down. i then looked at him and took out my bo staff out. then after making a distance got into my fighting stance.

he just looked amused and chuckled seeing me.

jiraya- what are you up to gaki.

'you are the strongest i met till now in this village, i want to spar with you to find how far i am from my dream, so spar with me old man' i said while twirling my bo staff and getting into an offensive stance.

now you may think why i am doing all this. during the past two years i found more information on the shinobi system in konoha. even joining the academy and having good results i as an orphan with no backing cannot go far. i would need some connections and instructions to truly shine. when i found jiraya earlier i banked on him to give me a chance so i made some prank to get his attention and now that i have it, i need to show my genius and potential for an ally. this is more to secure an umbrella untill i am strong enough in the future.

jiraya chuckled and asked- how do you know i am strongest gaki?

'i can sense aura, i know you are one of the stongest currently in the village atleast leagues above everyone. i can only sense less thab 20 others almost as strong as you, for example that guy in the tree over there is half as strong as you but is in top 100 of this village' i said pointing to a tree in certain direction.

that got jiraya's attention and he looked at the tree where an anbu with dog mask came down and nodded before vanishing. he had q silver spiky hair, so that must be kakashi.

jiraya looked back at me and asked my name. i planned to give an excentric answer.

'my name is sasaki haruno,3 years old, the man who will be the strongest.' i said with conviction and fire in my eyes along with proudly raising my c.h.e.s.t.

jiraya looked at me for a while and then started laughing loudly.

'whats with you you ero old man.' i shouted with a pissed look. he stopped laughing and then started doing handseals. i got into a defensive stance and tensed my body.

he smiled seeing my actions and slammed his palm on the ground. a large toad appeared below him and he started his intro kabuki dance saying toad sage and jiraya the sannin.

i was shocked on seeing the summoning in real life and couldnt take it anymore. i rushed to him in excitement and started asking questions in quick fire.

'what was that?? what did you do?? where did this frog come from?? can you get other animals?? what about lion, or a tiger , can you get a dragon??? tell me ero old man...' and started poking around the toad and the man himself.

jiraya looked totally amused and said 'calm down gaki, i thought you wanted a spar'

i stopped and looked at him with stars in my eyes and couldnt control my inner fanboy anymore.

'you are so cool old man, forget about the spar tell me about yourself and how strong are you. who was your master.. tell me now' i said with comical stars in my eyes which caused jiraya to sweat in the face of my intensity.

suddenly we heard a loud growl from my stomach, hearing which i blushed hard and jiraya just laughed again.

jiraya- come with me brat, we will get some lunch.

after which i started following him asking all kinds of questions like how he trained, what was his speciality and what does he like etc..,
