MAKING MY DECISIONS

CHAPTER 9

Menma returned home with a scowl on his face and Mito with a sad look on her face. That was the result of their meeting with Naruto. When they returned home they saw their parents and godparents were discussing something. Upon hearing their conversation the siblings realized that they were talking about Naruto.

"Why are you talking about that jerk?" Menma shouted, surprising everyone.

"What happened, baby? Why are you saying that?" asked Kushina.

"That bastard refused to come home with us. He said that he doesn't care what we do," said Menma angrily.

"Let me tell you what happened." Then Mito started to tell everyone about what happened with Naruto after the Lunch.

"How will we make him come home Minato?" asked Kushina worryingly.

"I have no idea Kushina. I don't know how to approach him now," said Minato solemnly.

"I know what to do. I have a great idea." Jiraiya said which surprised everyone.

"Yeah, and what would that be, pervert?" Tsunade asked slightly sarcastically.

"Just hear me out okay," Jiraiya said. "Naruto has to rejoin the shinobi corps right?"

"Right. But how does that mean anything?" Minato asked.

"Yes, that's where I and Tsunade come in. You will have us fight Naruto to evaluate Naruto to join the shinobi corps. I am sure he would lose against us. Then we will offer him training and also the Toad summoning contract. I am sure he won't refuse that kind of offer." Jiraiya said his plan to everyone.

"I think that could work. I shall make the preparations. You two will be ready for your fight with Naruto." Minato stated.

"Yes, we will get my Sochi back," Minato said excitedly.

TWO DAYS LATER…

Naruto got a message from Anbu that the Hokage is calling him. So Naruto is now going to the Hokage office. After Naruto reached the Hokage's office he knocked on the door.

"Enter." said the Hokage from inside his office. Naruto entered the office.

"What can I do for you Hokage-sama?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, Naruto. You see, to reinstate you into the shinobi corps, we have to reevaluate you. I have the ninjas stand by to test you so please come to the training ground 7 in 30 minutes." Minato informed Naruto.

"I will," Naruto said and quickly went out of the office. Minato never got a chance to spend father-son time with Naruto.

Naruto quickly went to the training ground seven, where he saw team 7 training. Kushina noticed him first and quickly went over to him.

"Oh, my Sochi! How much I have missed you." Kushina said while hugging Naruto. Naruto quickly got out of the hug. And kept a distance from her.

"Kushina-sama please keep your distance. I am here on Hokage's order." Naruto said in a monotone voice. Kushina got sad after hearing that but didn't give up.

"Naruto I know that we have done wrong with you but please give me a chance to make things better. I promise you that we will make it up to you. We can be a family again." Kushina said pleadingly.

"Kushina-sama, I think, you don't understand the situation here. I left your house many years ago and I don't intend to go back." Naruto said without giving any kind of emotion.

"Don't say that please, Sochi. I will do anything to make it up to you. Please give us a chance." Kushina said.

"I've made my decision Kushina-sama, and you have to cope up with that." said Naruto as he started walking towards Sasuke and Satsuki.

"Hi, Naruto. What's up?" asked Sasuke.

"It's alright. Hokage-sama told me to come here to apparently fight someone." Naruto said as he moved over to where Satsuki was. Naruto hugged her and she returned that.

"Hi, Naruto-kun. I really missed you." said Satsuki.

"I missed you too." Naruto replied.

"I know you will win this fight. I should tell my friends about it, I have to make them jealous, you know. They will see you fight and realize how powerful you are." Satsuki said as she ran off to tell the others.

Sometime later the Hokage and the sanins arrived in the training field. Kushina quickly ran off to Minato and told him about her conversations with Naruto. Minato could do nothing but support her with his words.

"Naruto, are you ready?" asked Minato.

"Yes, Hokage-sama. But who is my opponent?" asked Naruto as he was curious who he will be fighting.

"We are your opponents brat." said Jiraiya, followed by Tsunade. Everyone was surprised by hearing that. Nobody thought that the sanins will fight Naruto.

"It will be my pleasure to fight the sanins." Naruto said politely.

"Let's start the fight." Minato said. Naruto and his opponents took their stances respectively. They started exchanging blows. At first they were fighting only on taijutsu. But Tsunade started throwing her chakra enhanced punches. Naruto saw the ground shattered by one of Tsunade's punches. Naruto got serious after that. Naruto started dodging all of Tsunade's punches and only engaged with Jiraiya in hand-to-hand combat. In the heat of the moment Jiraiya fired a fireball jutsu towards Naruto. Naruto didn't have the time to make the hand seals for a water jutsu. Naruto went to dodge the Jutsu but got connected with a punch from Tsunade. Naruto got thrown 30 feet away. Jiraiya and Tsunade was sure that Naruto would not be able to handle that.

"That really hurts, now we can fight using jutsus." Naruto said as he got up from the ground. Everyone was shocked that Naruto tanked through one of Tsunade's punches, but Tsunade was shocked the most.

"How?" was the question that was everyone's mind.

"Let's continue the fight." said Naruto as he started making hand seals for a water Jutsu. Naruto launched a 'water style: water dragon" towards the Sanins. Jiraiya created a 'mud wall' to defend themselves. After the clash of the two jutsus Naruto created 2 clones as they started making hand seals for Lightning and Wind Jutsu respectively. Naruto himself went underground. JIraiya making hand seals for a fire jutsu to counter the wind jutsu. And Tsunade charged straight to the clone who was making Lightning jutsu.

JIraiya and one of Naruto's clones started a fight with their Fire and Wind jutsus. Tsunade on the other hand went to punch the other clone. But when she punched the clone, that clone turned into dust. Tsunade was not sure what happened. She was not paying full attention for that time then suddenly something pulled her into the ground, only her head was out of the ground and tree roots wrapped themselves around her. Naruto came out of the ground. The clone that was fighting with Jiraiya got dispelled after he ran out of chakra. Jiraiya came to rescue Tsunade. Naruto jumped out of the way to do their thing. He was enjoying fighting them so he didn't want to end it here, so he gave them time.

After trying a few times Tsunade managed to pull herself out of the root bindings and the ground.

"You are good, brat." Tsunade complimented.

"What do you think about being our apprentice brat?" Jiraiya asked. Naruto's classmates, siblings and other ninjas were there. They also got shocked except Naruto's siblings. They couldn't believe that the sanins are willing to take Naruto as an apprentice.

"It'd be my honor." Naruto said, as he has no resentment towards them because he never had contact with them personally so he never counted them as family, for Naruto they were just Sanins.

"But I have a condition, you have to go back to your family." Jiraiya presented Naruto with his condition. Naruto started laughing after hearing that. Everybody got confused.

"So, you also came to vouch for my family. Now I think I have to decline your offer Jiraiya-sama." Naruto said as he got disappointed.

"You don't understand Naruto. It was necessary for them to do what they have done." Jiraiya reasoned there.

"Really now! What reason could it be that you ignored your child for twelve years?" Naruto asked.

"To know that you have made a wager. In this fight if you win against us then we will tell you anything you want to know, but if you lose you have to come back to your family." Jiraiya said to Naruto.

"I accept." Naruto replied.

"Don't get cocky brat." Tsunade said. Quickly they started fighting again. Naruto's family and the sanins were expecting Naruto to lose but he held his ground firmly. Few minutes later Naruto started to push his opponents back.

"Tsunade-hime we have to do it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." saying that Jiraiya and Tsunade bit their thumb and slammed it into the ground. 'Summoning jutsu' they shouted simultaneously as the ground got covered in smoke.

As the smoke cleared everybody saw JIraiya and Tsunade standing on top of Gamabunta and Katsuyu respectively.

"You have no chance of winning now brat. They are the boss summon of Toad and Slug." Jiraiya said with a smirk on his face. JIraiya and Tsunade were sure that they would win now. Naruto's family also started to believe that but Naruto had other plans.

"So these are boss summons of yours. Then I should respect them by summoning by boss summon." Naruto also summoned his boss summon. The clearing got covered in smoke. When the smoke cleared everybody was shocked to say the least. Some of them had heard that Naruto can summon Dragons but never really believed that much, but here he was sitting on top of a black dragon.

"Why have you summoned me Naruto?" Kyoretsu asked Naruto.

"Kyoretsu-sama, I was fighting some people, then they summoned their boss summon so I thought it is fitting for me to summon as you are the boss of the Dragon summons." Naruto replied calmly. But the people around Naruto were not so calm, they were freaking out after seeing a real Dragon in person.

"Oh! Is that Right? Who could these summonses be? Kyoretsu said as he started looking around. Then he spotted Gamabunta and Katsuyu.

"It's Gambunta and Katsuyu. You became boss of your summons, I see. Now, you want to fight me? Are you really up for it, You brats?" Kyoretsu asked.

"Forgive us, Kyoretsu-sama. We wouldn't dare to challenge you. We didn't know that you are the summon that young Naruto was referring to. We should take our leave." Said Gamabunt as he turned to Jiraya, "You brat, Jiraiya, you will surely get a beating for throwing me in this situation." After that Gamabuta dispelled himself.

"I am sorry Tsunade-sama, but I can't help you in this matter." said Katsuyu as she also dispelled herself.

"It seems your summons don't want to fight. So now, will you fight or admit defeat?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya and Tsunade couldn't find a way to reply to that. The spectator was also shocked after watching the Toad and Slug boss leave.

"Tsunade-hime, cover for me. I have to go into the sage-mode." Jiraiya said as he started making preparations to enter sage mode.

"So they want to fight in person. I think you should take your leave Kyoretsu-sama. There is no opponent for you to take on." Naruto said. Kyoretsu took his leave, and Naruto started fighting with Tsunade.

Tsunade was not fairing good against Naruto. Naruto started pushing Tsunade back. Naruto then punched Tsunade through a tree.

"Do you give up?" asked Naruto, but suddenly got kicked by Jiraiya who was now in his sage-mode.

"Don't worry hime. I'm here." Jiraiya said, looking at Tsunade.

"Took you long enough. I should also go all out." Tsunade said as she also started using her hundred healing jutsu.

"Release!" said Naruto as the resistance seal on his body. Jiraiya and Tsunade never expected Naruto to have seals on himself.

Naruto started fighting again but this time his opponents matched him in strength and speed. But his opponents got more experience than him, so they started pushing him back.

"Jiraiya-boy, Who is this boy?" Pa asked.

"This is Naruto., Minato's oldest." Jiraiya replied.

"Hmm, he is really putting up a good fight." Ma said.

"You people are really annoying me. Let's put an end to this fight." Naruto said. He then launched his jutsu, wood style: naivety of the sea of trees. The whole area got covered in trees. The trees wrapped themselves around Jiraiya and Tsunade. They tried to break free of the restraints but wood absorbed their chakra so they were powerless against it.

'Wood style: wood golem' said Naruto as a 30 feet golem rose up from tthe ground as got in position to attack Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"Now, do you yield?" asked Naruto from top of the golem.

"You can't win here Jiraiya-boy, you should give up. You also Tsunade. We will take our leave." said Pa, as he and Ma vanished.

"Ahh! This is embarrassing to lose against a brat." Tsunade said frustratingly.

"We give up. You win Naruto." Jiraiya said, he came to know that he can't win against Naruto no matter what at this point. Naruto's friends cheered for his victory and other spectators were just in awe. They couldn't believe that Naruto had beaten two Sanins single handedly, especially Naruto's family. Naruto released his Jutsus and came in front of Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"Now, time for answers."
