Prologue

Jiraiya stared.

Big green eyes stared back in amusement.

Jiraiya glared trying to wake up from whatever night terror was happening in broad light, but all three feets of trouble seemed to be immune to his wishes.

He could see himself in her, it wasn't that hard. What with the white fluffy hair and small red markings at the corners of her eyes, the thick eyelashes.

"She is yours, so it's not my problem anymore." Said the old madame pushing a small bundle of clothes and a picture into his hands before turning sharply and leaving in the direction of the red light district.

The child next to him snorted, and a pout formed on her lips.

He took a quick glance at the pic and winced, Yuri his mind supplied. The fact that it was her old Madame that delivered the child made him think she was no longer among the living.

"So...My name's Jiraiya" He started calling the child's attention once again, those green orb were dazzling the same as Yuri's " What is your name?"

"Ai" she answered raising her head in defiance before she snatched the pic from his loose hold and brought it to hide in her yukata. Jiraiya studied her posture before lowering himself to her height, and He was once again surprised at her response when she didn't cower, after all he was at least three times her height.

"It seems you are stuck with me, ne?" He said opening his arms. He had been an orphan and had seen first hand that type of life, he had dreamed once of a family of his own but after all the things he had faced in his life that dream had been long buried among others that were just too far out of reach.A ninja perseveres, he had told himself. Well, he had gone against armies, wars, big summons and even Kages and survived...How hard could it be?

The child studied him cocking her head to the side before tucking a strand of hair behind an ear and showing a small scar in the shape of a lightning bolt, before offering him a shy smile and stepping into his arms and wrapping her small chubby arms around his neck, before he rose carrying her.

"Say...How would you like to become a shinobi?" He asked carrying her in his waist while accommodating her small bundle and freeing his had.

"Is that what you are?" She asked, leaning her hear on his shoulder.

"I am the Gallant Jiraiya, haven't you heard of me?" He paused in his steps to give her his complete attention and catch her surprise.

"Is that a yes?" She questioned furrowing her eyebrows, before making a zero with her fingers " You need to work on your introductions" she smiled sheepishly, and wasn't it freaky to watch your expression on a childlish face and find too cute for words.

Yep, Jiraiya The Toad Sannin had finally met his match, but he would be dammed if he let her know...
