There was a knocking sound that seemed to be carried across the rooms of the home that stopped the talking that had occurred, stopping the lines of questions that came from the confused Naruto. Before he could say anything about the knocking, Hinata was up and has said, "I'll answer it." She moved to a hallway that Naruto guessed was linking to the front door.
'I wonder who that is? ' Naruto thought to himself as he stared at the girls that he had learnt he had saved from being enslaved. Each of them looked at him with love, but there were still some unanswered questions that he needed to be filled in with before he felt comfortable with the new life that he had. "Temari, I don't want to make you upset, but why are you in Konoha?"
Temari was a little surprise at the question that Naruto asked, but seemed to deal with it with a calm realization. "So your memory is that messed up, Naruto-kun. Basically I am here as an ambassador from Suna as instructed by the Fifth Kazekage, who you know as Gaara. I figure that you don't remember that either or how much you have helped him before and after he lost Shukaku. You helped to make him one of the best Kazekages in history."
Naruto took on another shock look as he discovered another surprise that he had received, the fact that the boy that had been so damaged when he had met and fought him had turned into such a figure. A ninja that was ranked as a kage, one of the five most powerful people in all of the world. With that image in his mind Naruto wonder, 'Perhaps my dream of being Hokage is not as impossible as it seemed when I was young. It just means that I'll have to work harder to make it come true. Believe it! '
There were footsteps heading from the front to the room that they had been in and soon Hinata arrived in the room with the guest that had been at the door. It turned out to be Jiraiya who yelled out, "Hey Gaki, what took you so long to wake up? You're not getting weak on me in your old age."
"Not as weak as you in your old age, Ero-sennin." Narruto said in an even tone as he looked at his teacher, noticing that he looked at little more alert in the home. Which was reflected by the looks on the women that now shared Naruto's life, which were more harsh than the future Hokage remembered from their reactions to his perversion.
"So Ero-sennin," said Ino as she looked at him, "Still trying to get nude pictures of us that you print in your perverted books or did you get the picture after the four of us taught you to behave." She was also speaking with an even tone but one with a hint of anger to her voice.
"Ah, yes. I did get the feeling that it might be best if I was to try something else, looking for the story for my latest instalment," Naruto could swear that Jiraiya was flinching a bit as he spoke those words. The perverted hermit continued, "That's not the reason that I am here, I came here to check on my apprentice and see how he had taken the attack that left him unconscious for so long. Tsunade was really worried about the way that you were under the attack and was worried about any kind of side effect that has occurred from that jutsu."
"The only real problem that seemed to have occurred with the patient is the severe loss of memories for about five years worth of memories. We were trying to jog his memories by answering his questions about the time that he has lost since he was afflicted with the offencive jutsu. I would be glad to have sensei take a look over Naruto for a second opinion and for a possible treatment plan that might have more success rate of progress." Sakura said, sounding like a professional in her medical skills that Naruto remembered her gaining training in before he left the village when he was only thirteen.
"Have you tried to bring back his memories by reminding him of some more intimate activities that you four perform with him? Perhaps a little time alone with the five of you, going off to your bedroom and having some cuddle fun?" Jiraiya said as he giggled softly at the idea of the most private acts between the new family.
Hinata's hands struck with the speed of lightning as it hit different spots on Jiraiya that seemed to cause him pain as his hands moved to his crouch. Hinata had a rare nasty smile on her face as she spoke, "I guess that you don't remember the 'Painful Impotence' strike of Juken. A technique that is passed down by the female members of my clan just for this kind of situations."
The perverted ninja just grimace as he felt pain coming from a selected part of his body hit him like a blunt stick. "I think that it is time for me to go tell Tsunade about the troubles that all of you have experienced and your plans for a cure." His voice was a bit high and squeaky as he slowly moved to slip out of the room at the time.
That left Naruto in the room with the girls wondering how ero-sennin had survived the attack of all four of the women that were in the house with him at the moment. 'I know that Sakura can hit hard, that Hinata seems to have an anti-pervert strike, Temari grew up with Gaara and Ino seems to be as tough as Sakura. So how did he escape four angry women? '
Just outside...
Jiraiya was trying to use what little he did now about chakra points to try and lessen the pain that he was feeling from the strikes of the young Hyuuga. It was a little know, but very painful special attack that many men feared including those of the Hyuuga clan. The fact that the formerly shy and introverted eldest daughter knew that attack had been surprising the first time and the toad hermit had thought it to be a fluke.
'Looks like I'll have to be more careful around that girl and the rest of them. As much as I would love to put them in my next book, if I did I wouldn't be able to show my face around here in a long time,' He took a deep breath as he thought about his next move. His mind added, ' I might as well tell Tsunade about what has happened to Naruto so that she could give her ideas about what it is that we can do.'
He headed for the Hokage tower and thought about what it is that they could do, especially given everything that Naruto had lost with his memories. Likely including the jutsus that he developed since he had returned to the village five years ago. Including the jutsu that showed how the boy that had been shunned by the entire village had surpassed the fourth in ability. The perfected Rasengan, the one that he had developed that added an element to the mix.
'It was one of the boy's best work, taking hours to learn even with the shadow clones aiding him with the learning process. Many people were surprise at the fact that he did it even when the Fourth couldn't perfect it.' Jiraiya thought as a grin crossed his lips as he thought of the pride he felt for the boy when that happened.
'I hope that he can gain his memories back as he worked so hard to get were he is without having it wiped out all thanks to an Uchiha, ' The grin disappeared as his thought darkened, 'I had better get to Tsunade, as the sooner we get this fixed the less weak Naruto will be when trouble comes calling. It always come calling when you don't want it to.'
