3rd person POV:

Kiryu stood in front of Hiruzen's grave, paying his respects to the fallen Hokage.

Kiryu:(mind) Rest easy now, gramps.

He walks away, seeing Konohamaru standing outside the graveyard.

Kiryu:...

Konohamaru:...

Kiryu: You don't have to hold back here.

(Elsewhere)

Jiraiya sat on a bench, only recently arriving back from a little trip he was on, taking out the majority of the forces Orochimaru planned on using to conquer the village.

Jiraiya:(sigh)... Being old sucks.

???: Jiraiya.

Jiraiya:?

He turns to two older people, who were part of the council The Hidden Leaf possessed.

One was an elderly woman named Koharu, the other was a man named Homura.

Koharu: The village needs a Hokage. And the only one the council sees fit to fill that role...

Koharu: Is one of the Legendary Sannin.

Homura: It's time you carry on the Will of Fire, Jiraiya.

Jiraiya: Me? The Hokage... Pushing papers, giving inspirational speeches, and doing politics?

Jiraiya: Sorry. But I'm too young to do something like that.

Koharu: Jiraiya. You're the only one fit to do the job.

Jiraiya:(chuckles)... Wrong. There is another.

Jiraiya: If you are looking for a Sannin then there is only one fit to take the role.

Homura: But no one knows where she is.

Jiraiya: Correction. You don't know where she is. Give me two months, and I'll get you your Hokage.

Homura: Two months?

Jiraiya: One to get there, one to get back.

Homura/Koharu:(murmuring)...

...

...

Koharu: Fine. Two months. But if you fail, you must promise to-

Jiraiya: Yeah, yeah. If I can't get her, I have to become Hokage.

Jiraiya: But to guarantee my success... I am going to need some help.

Koharu: We'll get you our top black ops-

Jiraiya: L-let's forget about the black ops! I have someone specific in mind.

Koharu: Who?

Jiraiya: I want to bring The Dragon of Konoha.

Koharu: Huh?

Jiraiya: The jinchuriki. But you better get used to that title. Because when I'm done with him...

Jiraiya:(smirks) That's what he'll be.

(Opening theme)

Kiryu: Eh?

Jiraiya: So, you in?

Kiryu: You want me to help find some lady?
