The Uzumaki glared at the paper held in Shiho, the woman that helped Shikamaru decipher the code left behind by Jiraiya, and knew wihtout a hint of doubt that the man that had ended the life of his late sensei was what was being spoken of. "The real one is not with him...Real one..." He pauses, his mind working quicker than it had before, and he realizes that it was a body which was being spoken about.
He knew of the body trapped within the frog's mouth, and it was obvious that was what Jiraiya was hinting at. The enemy had more than one body, and his techniques revolved around them all.
Staring at the ground for only a moment, he allowed himself to revel in the fact that he had figured out his late sensei's coding, and he allowed himself to be proud of the old pervert. To stand against such odds...
Silently, Naruto followed his pineapple haired friend, and the masked pervert as they guided him towards the Hokage Tower. He knew his list of priorities had been changed due the untimely demise of his sensei, but he knew revenge wasn't what he wanted.
Revenge would mean he would be like a certain Uchiha he knew.
No, he was determined to defeat this enemy in the name of his sensei, to show that he had picked up on what his sensei had trained him. He wanted to allow Jiraiya to be held in even more respect by his shinobi peers for training the dead last of his year into becoming the shinobi he was. Kakashi had trained him well also, but it was his mega pervert of a sensei that had drilled the basics, the fundamentals into his head.
He would make the old coot proud, it was his second promise of a lifetime, one made to himself, and not to anyone else. Everything he would do from now on, he would do knowing Jiraiya had helped him get this far. He would quit being the dope his peers had come to know him as, and he would take the Nara's advice and start being one of the shinobi the younger in training shinobi and kunoichi could look up too, one that could teach them what he knew.
Clenching a fist before his face, Naruto grinned brightly for the first time in days. His halt in movement caught both Kakashi and Shikamaru's attention, and as both turned to face the blonde, they were met with the firey determination the blonde had always had, but to an even greater extent this time.
"YOSH! From this day on, I Uzumaki Naruto will put forth my best effort to ensure Jiraiya-sensei will be proud of everything I do! It's time for me to stop being a follower and become a leader to those behind me. No longer will I be the cry baby that doesn't know what it means to be a shinobi, and I'll make sure that everything my sensei's have taught me will be put to use to better myself and my village!"
Aside from the two shinobi before him, a multitude of the villagers around him had come to a halt, staring at the blonde silently for a few moments. Those same villagers that had seen him as a demon when he was younger felt a pang of grief as they thought of all the child had been through. The legendary Toad Sannin's death had spread like wildfire, and knowing that that boy had taken it so hard made them all deeply regret their treatment towards him.
They knew that his statements, both of the past, and of the current, would be truthful. He would be a role model to up and coming Academy students, and like Jiraiya and Kakashi had done for him, he would pass on his knowledge, and his strengths to those behind him.

Uzumaki Naruto wasn't one to be broken, or counted as down and out no mater what hardships came his way. He could take the verbal abuse that came with being shunned by his village for being a jailor to the most notorious and fear demon the shinobi world had ever seen, and he could take the fact that he was hunted by a group of super S-Ranked shinobi that wanted nothing but power at his expense, and ultimately, his death.
He could handle that his best friend had betrayed him and his home in search for power, and he had accepted the fact the the pinkette that he loved ever so much would never share those feelings with him.
He could not handle the news he had just heard, though, and for the first time since his Jiji's death the blonde allowed his tears to spill heavily down his face. He clutched desperately onto the popsicle in his right hand and thought of how his Sensei, his grandfather, his mentor, his hero had shared one jsut like it with him just three years prior when he had been learning the basics of the Rasengan.
"Ero-sennin!"
He was broken. Destroyed. Devestated. The pervert he had willingly accepted as his grandfather had died at the hands of the leader of the Akatsuki, the criminals that were after the demon concealed within his navel.
"It isn't fair! Why you?! Why did you leave me behind and die..." The blonde choked back a sob as the tears continued to cascade down his face, mixing in wit hthe rain that had begun to fall around him.
Sliding from the bench he had previously been sitting on, he fell to his knees, pounding the know soaked and muddy ground. "Why did you die, Ero-sennin? WHY!?"
As the rain pounded his prone and motionless form, Naruto continued to weep for the pervert he wasn't ashamed to call one of his family. For the first time, he wanted nothing more than to forget about his promises, and his nindou and just give it all up then and there. To die just like his Jiji and the pervert that had already left him.
But he continued to think, and he knew that he wouldn't allow that to happen no matter how horrible he felt now. He was devoted to his promises, and his nindou would ensure that he would brush past any obstacle in his way.
All that remained was to make his sensei proud.
He would live on for the pervert that loved him like a grandchild, and he would ensure that the one that had killed him would pay in due time.
Standing upright, the blonde wipes the tears from his eyes and takes his seat on the bench once again. He was soaked and knew that at this rate ilness was bound to occur, but he didn't have the heart yet to end his mourning. For now he would sit in the rain, and honor his late sensei.

About Me

My name is Uzumaki Naruto, student to both the deceased Sannin Jiraiya, and to the famous Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi. I am the jailor to the most feared demon to exist in all of the elemental nations, the Kyuubi no Youko. I'm a fifteen year old Gennin, but I have the skills to take on most shinobi above the Jounin level, and can hold my own against some S-rank missing nin in the organization of Akatsuki.
