| 10 | Stolen & Naruto's Leaving?! |

Welcome to the Third Arc. I congratulate you for coming (reading) this far (bows). I am sincerely grateful for readers who continue to read this fanfiction (bows even more sincerely). I'm even more sincere to those readers who continue to comment and vote (bows again)

Anyways! As I said in the last chapter, the requests for the interviews are open! If any of you want me to interview a specific character with specific questions, just comment and review! I'd be more than happy to write it down!

FEEDBACK: ...uh.

WARNING: Foul Language.

DISCLAIMER: I, LeTiffany, do not own the manga/anime Naruto or its characters. I only own the story plot and the Original Characters (OC) I create. All credits towards Naruto should go to Masashi Kishimoto.

The figure outside your window smiled wickedly. It was time for the plan to begin. A sudden 'whoosh!' was heard, before a hooded figure had appeared behind him.

"Shiwama-sama, Hiroshi and Tenma have been caught by Team Five. They are currently undergoing interrogation as we speak."

"Hai, Shiwama-sama."

You opened the door, poking your head through as the people in the room turned their heads towards you. To say you were shocked to find Jiraiya in the room was the least of what you were feeling.

"Jiraiya-san?"

"[Name]," he replied in a serious tone.

Now you were really surprised. Most of the time, when he 'visited' you, it was to perv (research you, as he would say) you. You raised an eye-brow, before fully opening the door to walk in the room. Closing the door behind you, you also noticed that Naruto was in the room, standing next to the Toad Sage.

"What? Naruto's leaving?" you asked, your voice changing from tone to tone, "For what?"

"Training. The Akatsuki will be making their move on Naruto soon, and we'll him to be prepared."

You blinked.

That's...valuable information, isn't it? Wonder where he got that from.

You nodded, as a sad smile wormed its way on your face.

"So..Naruto...how long will you be away for?"

"Don't worry, [Name]-nee-chan, I'll only be away fo-"
