"Everyone, these are the orders," Jiraiya said standing by Gaito and Ms. Mitsubi. Adji, Naruto and Nershii were listening. "When you see her, kill her on sight. There is no messing here, she poses a standing threat. Nershii, you are to tell all people to stay inside and lock up with any weapons they have."

"Hai!" Nershii yelled and ran from the inn throwing the door open.

"Naruto, you and Adji are to go over the bridge and search for her, I, Gaito and Ms. Mitsubi will be in the forest. Remember, this girl deserves no mercy." Jiraiya said. It was early in the morning, and Tekaimaru had escaped leaving Jiraiya a message.

"Hai hai!" Adji said and grabbed Naruto's arm and dragged him out the door. She let go and they began running. They cleared the town and began jumping in the scarce trees. "So, what did she do?"

"I'm not sure, but if I find her, I'm going to find out." He said vaulting through the trees, Adji right behind her. The trees broke up around the bridge, they dropped down and kept running to the road leading both ways. "Which way?"

"I don't know. Clones!" They quickly made a clone each. Adji took Naruto's shadow clone and he took her water clone and they split running in opposite directions. Adji and the clone disappeared beyond the horizon. "Look!"

The water clone pointed to a strange trail on the ground, like foot prints and a heavy tail dragging behind it. Naruto sped up. "Tell the real you to get over here!"

"Hai hai!" The clone dispersed and Naruto kept running until the trail turned, he followed a line of broken grass until he saw a giant white rock and upon it was sitting Tekaimaru. "Hello, Naruto-kun."

"What did you do?" She smiled showing her sharp teeth and laughed a bit. "Don't fuck with me!" Naruto said creating a clone and sticking a hand out.

"I'm not… It's just so hilarious… All this commotion for a piece of garabage like myself." She said looking up. She dropped down the rock and leaned against it. "I told Jiraiya my true intentions for getting back in his graces."

"Who's graces?"

"Don't you know anything? I'm one of Orochimaru's, he threw out for his new pet Sasuke. I was thrown out with about a hundred others when he heard the news his body was on its way. I was his favorite." She said quietly staring down at the grass that moved slowly in the wind. "I was more then his favorite though… I was amazing."

She raised her finger to her mouth and bit it, dropping blood on the ground. Suddenly a large white snake appeared as thick as a person's arm. "Look, Naruto-kun, he even gave me the ability to summon his snakes…"

"I'm not yours girl, know, where is my sacrifice?" The snake hissed looking her in the eyes.

"He's over there." Tekaimaru said raising her hand, "you want your sacrifice, get it yourself." She said and jumped away. Naruto was about to jump after her but the snake caught him and his clone at the feet. He constricted and the shadow disappeared.

"You're not going anywhere!" The snake hissed and raised it's head and unhinged it's jaw.

"Water Shuriken Jutsus!" A voice yelled as they were cutting scales off the snake. Adji showed up next to him with the clone.

"Quick make another clone!" Naruto yelled at himself. Adji pulled out some real kunai and began to cut away at the snake until she was able to injure it enough to let him go.

"Curse you!" The snake yelled and disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"Quickly, this way." Naruto yelled running as Adji and the rest of the clones followed. A clone walked up next to the real Naruto and began preparing a Rasengan. There were two other Rasengan following him. It was then they saw her on the tree.

Naruto hit her in the back of the chest, she didn't move until he let go of the chakra. She fell down and landed on the ground unmoving. Naruto jumped down with Adji, the other clones were waiting if they need be called. He rolled her over; blood was streaming down her mouth.

"That didn't kill me." She said lightly looked at them frowning. "Aren't you supposed to kill me?"

"How do you know that?" Adji said pulling out a kunai.

"I wrote the letter threatening enough. I was either going to kill the Hokage and go back to Orochimaru or die. I have no other purpose other then to be with him." She said happily. "Without him, I'm nothing, I almost got Jiraiya to take me back to Konoha, I was so close, but I guess now I'm not going to. I'll just die like he intended me to."

"Shut up!" Naruto yelled. "You've got to have more to life then him."

"I don't. Do what you're supposed to, you don't want to disobeyed orders." Tekaimaru said and lifted up her neck. "Hurry up before I recover and attack you."

"No! I can't kill anyone as confused as you." Adji said agreeing with Naruto's ideal. "Someone as you can't die with thoughts like those in your head!"

"Too late!" She said and snakes lunged out of her sleeves at them. The Naruto's Rasengans killed them, but didn't cut off in time. Tekaimaru took both. Her eyes didn't move when they looked at her.

"Damn it." One of the clones said disappearing.

Adji lowered her head. "I guess she got what she wanted. There's nothing more here, let's go." They jumped back in the trees and made it to the path.

"Why is everyone like that? I'd rather die then get over it; I'll die before I get over it! Stupid! Stupid!" Naruto yelled pissed off. "Damn it!"

"Naruto… some people can't help it. Anyways, it not our place to change them, it's our place to make sure they don't do anything bad."

"Alright, well, I'll see you next year Jiraiya." Gaito said shaking his hand. Jiraiya talked to him for a couple seconds before Ms. Mitsubi joined in. They were saying their good byes. No one wanted to stay for the festival.

Naruto looked around for Tori and Adji, he looked back inside and saw why, they were talking, he was about to come in why they started kissing and he back off. "I'll say goodbye later."

"Naruto! Let's go! On to the Wave country!" Jiraiya said and began walking off. Naruto barged in anyway.

"I have to go, see you later!" He said walking away, he stopped and came back in and gave a thumb's up to Adji who was laughing now. He ran off, his bag weighing down a bit with cookies. On their way out, Nershii and Kimichi walked out of their house.

"Nershii, Kimichi." He said and hugged them both.

"Bye Uncle Jiraiya!" She said and walked over with Kimichi in her right arm and hugged Naruto. "Bye Naruto-kun, feel free to stop by anytime to visit!"

"I will, bye!"

"Bye!" She said and they made their way to the bridge.
