After a quick travel on train, Finn arrived to Clover Town, the town where the masters come for their regular meetings.
With an approving nod finn adjusted his back pack and walk towards the entrance of the town in the other side of the town, there was supposed to meet Master Bob to give him the documents sent by Makarov.

Unknown village, Land of fire.
"You know... you aren't the kind of guy that get his nose into the village matters, at least not while there's not war" Tsunade said, taking a sip from her sake.
She moved in her sit, turning to see a young man with black hair laying on the table of her room. Shizune was in front of the young man, she had already treated his wounds and now was doing an operation, implanting a pair of eyes in the young man.
"Who is the brat again?" Tsunade asked bored.
"He is shisui, shisui uchiha..." jiraiya answered, cleaning the sweat from his forehead.
Tsunade could tell right away that something wasn't right with her old friend. Jiraiya looked tired, worried and wasn't acting as pervert as he usually acted when they met.
"Uchiha, huh? Another disciple?" Tsunade asked again, taking another sip. She was trying to find out what's happening with jiraiya's strange actions.
First jiraiya didn't find her to bring her back to konoha or try to flirt with her as he usually do. Then he revealed that he actually visited konoha just to save shisui from dying and brought him to her to save him, even stealed a pair of eyes from a renegade shinobi for shisui. Although, for obvious reasons, she wasn't treating shisui and shizune was the one doing everything.
The only reasonable answer she could fin was that shisui was actually another disciple of jiraiya, because other way she couldn't tell why jiraiya was helping him or how he actually knew shisui was in danger.
"No. He is not my disciple" jiraiya denied, confusing tsunade and taking a sip from his sake, his skin was pale and for his baggy eyes everyone could tell he wasn't sleeping right.
"Then why? For what I know you haven't visited konoha since the kyubi's attack, why now and why helping him?" Tsunade asked seriously.
Now, even shizune and shisui were paying attention, shizune wanted to know why jiraiya, a great sannin like her master, was in such bad state and helping shisui. Meanwhile, shisui wanted to know why jiraiya came to konoha just to help him, they never crossed a single word before.
"¡Because I'm watching him!" Jiraiya exclaimed, rubbing his face in frustration and standing up from his sit "¡Everytime I sleep I watch him!"
"You are watching shisui in your dreams?" Tsunade asked confused.
"¡Of course not! It's minato, ¡minato is the one I'm watching!" Jiraiya said before drinking all his sake at once.
"Hah, you should now this by now jiraiya. It's normal to watch your love ones in dreams after their deaths... I still dream on Nawaki some days" Tsunade said with a melancholic expression on her face.
Tsunade knew how much jiraiya appreciated minato, he was like a son for jiraiya and his death surely hitted hard jiraiya.
Hearing tsunade's response jiraiya denied quickly with his head. This was totally different from a regular dream or nightmare.
"The Great Toad Sage watched him too..." jiraiya revealed causing tsunade to choke on her sake.
"Cough, cough... ¡¿what?!" Tsunade exclaimed surprised.
"The Great Toad Sage had another vision, a few days ago, he watched Minato arriving to konoha with me and taking his place as the hokage again" jiraiya said, his hands were shaking due his nervousness.
"¡Impossible! That old pissed toad don't know what he is talking about anymore. ¡Minato is dead, he can't come back!" Tsunade exclaimed incredulously. "Not even my uncle with his edo tensei could revive people."
"That's point! It wasn't a ninja how brought minato back to life..."jiraiya said, making a pause, watching dead serious to Tsunade. "It wasn't someone from this world, actually."
"¡Aliens?!" Shizune exclaimed scared pinching shisui's recent implantet eye by accident.
"¡Agh!" Shisui jumped on the table grabbing his new eye.
"¡Oh, I'm sorry!" Shizune apologized quickly
"¡Shut up, shizune!" Tsunade yelled before turning back to jiraiya "¡explain!" she demanded, she wouldn't say it but she also thought the same than shizune.
"We still don't know, but the great toad sage has been having visions, weird visions, and he was on one of them" jiraiya explained, pointing at shisui.
"He watched shisui's future?" Tsunade asked
"I don't know what he was talking about exactly, it was all confusing, talking about a land where no one cries, a man of fire, a guy that eats lightnings, a few other persons and with them, shisui, all fighting against a huge beast or something alike" jiraiya tried to explain, but gamamaru's words were just too confusing even for him.
"A huge beast? May be a tailed beast?" Tsunade asked
"No, it was different, the great toad sage said that the beast could fly, shoot fire from its mouth and even turn into some kind of human" jiraiya said
Tsunade sighed, leaning on her chair, she was even more confused than jiraiya by now. She didn't know what to think right now, the simple idea of bringing people from death was ridiculous for her, it was against the cicle of life, but she wouldn't underestimate gamamaru's vision, it was the great toad sage for a reason.
"Coming back to konoha, huh?" Tsunade asked "when you are supposed to go back to konoha with minato, exactly?"
"One year" jiraiya responded seriously.
"Hmph. If he somehow come back to life, I want to see his face after seeing the 'good care' Hiruzen is giving to his brat" Tsunade joked taking a sip of her sake.
Slowly shisui sat on the table, with his new eyes now fully functional thanks to shizune.
"You finished?" Tsunade asked watching shizune before turning to see at shisui.
"Yes, lady tsunade. This is my first time doing this, but I think I did it pretty good as far as I know" shizune responded and Tsunade nodded watching shisui.
"Good... ¡hey, brat!" Tsunade called and throwed her sake to shisui's eyes.
"¡Aghhh! What the hell?!" Shisui screamed rubbing his eyes.
"He still slow for the anesthesia, but he can feel pain, that means you implanted them well. Good job, shizune" Tsunade nodded pleased

Clover Town
"¡Damn you, Unhand me!" Finn shouted.
Right now Finn was being hug by Bob, right in front of all the town.
"My, my, Makarov-chan always have the most delightful boys~" The master Bob laughed.
<¡I curse you master Makarov, may your weiner never rise again!> Finn exclaimed with anger barely contained and tears threatening to fall, trying to break free from Bob's hug. <... does anakin felt this way towards obi-wan?>
Finn turned his gaze towards the public watching them, coincidentally, all men. Finn red eyes met a terrified eyes of a man who was watching him.
"¡Help me!" Finn begged to the man, but he just turn his eyes with clear pain. "¡¡Don't leave me here!!"
After two hours of being hug, Bob finally freed Finn, taking the papers sent by Makarov and walked out of the town, leaving Finn kneeled in the ground, completely defeated.
"What's the point of having a system if it won't help me in this kind of situations?..." Finn wondered "¡I will take this humiliation to the grave... no one in the guild should know about this, never!"
After a few seconds Finn finally stood up and watched the group of men watching him from the distance, none of them dared to step in to help him.
"I take back all what I said about this town, it's the worst town I ever been in my short and painful life!" finn exclaimed before heading towards the entrance of the town, it was time of buying some supplies before doing his second mission.
