Isekai Restuarant (Rewrite)

- Jiraiya -

He was in the Hokage's building, about to enter the Hokage's office when he saw Itachi Uchiha heading towards the building.

"Itachi, you look like you are in a hurry. Did you just return from a mission?" He asked, trying to make small talk with him. The condition with the Uchiha has been deteriorating. The sudden presence of Tsunade and him was holding them back for now and Sensei had talked with Fugaku Uchiha to ease the tensions but to no avail. 

After investigating for the past few weeks, to some extent, he understood their anger too. The Uchiha clan was put in a bad condition and even when it was not explicitly said, they were indeed discriminated against at some level.

They were indeed one of the two clans who had made this village and yet, they had time and time again produced strong shinobi, becoming the backbone of Konoha's military might and yet… in all this time, after Kagami Uchiha, not a single person had even come close to the central power or management of the village.

The first two Hokages were Senju, the third was chosen by a Senju and even in the last election, Minato was the same, the student of the Third Hokage's student. While he would always say Minato was the best choice, the worst part was Fugaku Uchiha not even getting a mention. Orochimaru did but Fugaku didn't. The Uchiha were very offended by this, especially after their contributions on the battlefield.

The Uchiha Clan, a clan famed for their fire jutsu and dojutsu, were sent to fight Kirigakure, a village famous for water jutsu and hidden mist jutsu which can block dojutsu. The decision was stupid. He had called for it to be changed but Sensei had made an excuse that they had no other people.

The Hyuga were still there, the Inuzuka and Aburame were still there. Each of these clans would have been far better equipped against those opponents and yet, the Uchiha were the only ones sent… and they didn't complain and even completed their duties loyally. And yet…

Minato had been trying to ease the tensions with the Uchiha, especially since Obito was also one… but even that was not possible after Obito's death and Kakashi getting the Sharingan.

Laying a hand on the kekkei genkai of a clan was absolutely forbidden. Just look at the extent the Hyuga Clan goes to protect their eyes… and yet they were more or less strong-armed into leaving their sharingan with Kakashi.

All these things had been bubbling and everyone knew this. So when the Kyuubi attack happened, everyone's doubt went to the Uchiha, especially with the sharingan visible in the Kyubi's eyes.

Everything had only gone down the drain all of a sudden and the strongest clan in the village was sent to the outskirts of the village.

Nothing came out in the investigations and yet the damage was already done.

Come to think of it, all this was just as much the village management's fault… and now they were paying the price for it.

They had come to a position where a war could start at any time. He could only sigh when he thought about this.

Was this really the village he had worked for?

Just what has sensei been doing all these years?

Itachi looked in a hurry but stopped when he saw him. "Jiraiya-sama. It's urgent. I need to talk to the Hokage soon."

"Oh, something the matter?"

"It's…"

The boy struggled and he nodded, understanding how missions were. "Let's go. I was going to sensei either way."

They rushed to the Hokage's office where the Hokage was in a discussion with his two advisors.

He knocked on the door but there was no reply. There were arguments going on.

Even from outside, he could hear a few things.

"I am telling you Hiruzen, there is no proof about Danzo being involved in any of this. Right now things are tense. We need him and his roots to stabilise the village."

"And I have already told you, my decision is final. I will not be hearing any of this. Now, if you don't have anything else to report… leave. I am very busy."

"Hiruzen, you…"

Jiraiya was also done with his eavesdropping and a voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Both Itachi and he entered the room. The eyes of the advisors narrowed at the sight of Itachi… sigh… and they wondered how things went so far.

"What is it, Jiraiya?"

"Well, Itachi has something urgent. I can report after that." He looked at the guy and smiled. The guy looked like he was on fire somehow.

Sensei looked towards Itachi who quickly got on one knee. "Naruto Uzumaki has been sighted in the village."

"What?!"

Everyone in the room called in one voice and before he knew it, he was grabbing Itachi with both his shoulders. "Where is he?"

"Jiraiya, calm down. Itachi explain." Sensei ordered.

Itachi nodded and explained everything.

Naruto sparring with Sasuke Uchiha and then flying away with a white haired girl… with wings…

"Are you sure they are at Ichiraku's?" Sensei asked.

"I am not. I came here directly to inform you. My father and Sasuke will be coming here to talk to you too."

"Sensei, I am leaving to check." He said and sensei got up too.

"I am coming too. Itachi, ask your father and brother to wait here when they arrive."

"Yes."

With that both of them left at their fastest speed.

Reaching Ichiraku wasn't that long after.

As expected, as soon as they reached the door, they heard a loud laugh.

"I am not going to lose to you, Kanna-chan, not in eating ramen dattebayo."

"Umm… talk less, eat more." Another voice sounded and the next second, he was already inside the restaurant following sensei.

Sure enough, sitting on two chairs, eating ramen were two kids. One of them has the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Minato while the other with white hair and a strange dress.

The restaurant owner recognised them and stood up, greeting them. "Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama."

He nodded at them while sensei directly went towards the children.

"Naruto!"

Jiraiya observed from the back.

As much as he wanted to go and meet him, he didn't even know the boy. It could scare him away.

The boy looked at them as a look of recognition flashed in his eyes as he saw sensei, even a look of happiness and then… came rage. In the end, he just turned his head back towards the bowl of ramen and concentrated on it.

Sensei frowned and sat beside him. "Naruto, where have you been all this time? You were not at your home and you didn't even go to the academy? Everyone was worried about you."

Naruto however just pouted and kept eating.

"What is it, Naruto? Why are you not saying anything?"

The boy stopped and looked back. "Oh? And why should I?"

"Because I want to know. We were all worried about you."

Suddenly the rage on the boy's face became obvious. "Oh, so it matters when you want to know things? When you are worried? What about when I was worried? What about when I asked you who my parents were?…"

The statement froze both of them while the boy continued.

"You knew it. You knew who my father was… who my parents were and yet you didn't tell me. Do you know how much I thought about them? The people of the village always said that my parents never wanted a monster like me so they abandoned me. That my parents never loved me… and you knew they were wrong… you knew everything and still didn't say anything!" The boy had tears in his eyes and fists clenched hard.

Jiraiya couldn't tell if it was just his feeling or not but the atmosphere around them chilled slightly… and the source of this feeling… it was coming from Naruto.

"Naruto… who… who told you that?"

"My parents… they left their energies… chakra… whatever… inside me… I met them. I know everything. I know who my parents are and even why everyone is afraid of me."

His eyes widened at the reveal of the boy.

Many thoughts ran through his head in that instant.

Was it true? Or was someone using genjutsu on him to feed him the wrong information? If so then who was behind all this?

"Naruto, it's not like that. Come with me. We will talk in my office." Sensei went forward to calm him down but the boy stepped back.

"No! I don't want to talk to any of you! Go away! Go away! Go away!" Suddenly a huge burst of energy pushed them away and something which Jiraiya never imagined he would ever see again appeared in front of their eyes.

Golden Chains appeared and threw sensei outside the ramen shop.

Jiraiya stepped forward to defend against any following attack but the kunai in his hand fell down and his jaws hung open when he saw the figure from whom the chains were originating.

The figure was monstrous, like some kind of evil spirit that could chill the hearts of people and yet… she stood protectively in front of Naruto and if there was any leftover doubt in his mind, it was cleared by the blood red hair flowing on her head.

"K-kushina…" The name came out of his mouth almost unconsciously.

It was then that his years of training came back to him as the hair on the back of his neck stood at the feeling of danger and he dove back, almost too close for a figure to slash down with a kunai. Strands of his hair fell in front of his widened eyes as he recognised the figure… the flash of yellow that had appeared in front of his eyes.

He watched in frozen shock at the… almost demonic figure with the same sunny blonde hair on his head, holding a bone line dagger in a hauntingly similar stance protectively in front of the boy.

The killing intent the two figures were exuding was making even him experience chills just by standing in front of them.

The shop owner and his daughter looked pale at the sight of the two.

They were thinking about what to do when the white haired girl got up from her seat and walked casually to his side and smacked his head lightly. "Calm down, stupid Naruto. You're scaring the shopkeeper. I want more ramen."

"Ow… I… I am sorry, Kanna-chan." Naruto apologised before looking at the two figures in front of him. "It's okay, mom, dad. I am not in danger. I was just… angry. You can rest."

To their utter surprise, the figures slowly faded away.

Naruto then went on to apologise to the shop owner and his daughter and then looked at the white haired girl, Kanna. "Let's go. We are getting late."

The girl nodded.

"Naruto. Let me explain everything. It's not what you think." Sensei went forward but stayed a few feet away from him, not risking what had just happened.

"I don't want to talk to you. I am just here to take a picture of my parents and I will leave after that." The boy answered curtly.

"I have their pictures. In fact, I have all their belongings too. Your father wanted those to be given to you when you were older. Come with me. Let me explain everything first. You can take whatever you want after that." Sensei tried to explain.

The kid however just narrowed his eyes at his words.

"He is not lying, kid. Your parents' belongings are indeed with him. At least hear him out once. Your friend can also come along if you want." Jiraiya also went ahead and added carefully.

The kid looked at the girl who nodded. "Let's go. They are weak. If they try something, I will beat them up." She patted her chest confidently.

The scene made Jiraiya smile even with all the crap that was going on.

"Are you sure, Kanna-chan?"

"Hmm."

"Okay then." He then looked at them and nodded. He created a shadow clone to take care of the situation there while his original body left with the rest of the group.

They turned towards the Hokage building and the white haired girl grew wings and picked Naruto up, following them, leaving a stunned audience around.
