(Next Morning)
"Toph-chan, Toph-chan, wake up, it's almost time to go." Her eyes slowly fluttered open. Naruto blushed, looking at her.
'Now that I got a better look at her. She's the prettiest girl I've seen. Sakura's pretty but not like this, her long silky black hair, her pale smooth skin, even her white clouded eyes. No, no, Naruto, you aren't supposed to be thinking of her like that. She's your friend. And you like Sakura-chan remember.' Naruto frantically shook his head, ridding him of his current thoughts. Just as he was finished her heard her.
"Why are you shaking your head like that. Your heartbeat's also beating faster than it should be, are you alright." Toph asked in a questioning then slightly worried tone.
'Why is he getting so nervous, and damn, why am I acting so soft towards him?' She mentally asked herself. Realizing she wasn't going to get an answer, she dropped the subject. Sitting up and getting out of her bed talked again.
"So, I'm guessing it's time to search for this Tsunade lady." She asked while stripping out of her hospital gown. Naruto right there seeing this could only blush. He couldn't understand why she was basically stripping in front of him.
'W-W-Why is she stripping in front of me. Doesn't she get embarrassed or shy when other's see her like this.' Naruto thought frantically.
The quick answer to this question was no. Toph has been blind since she was born which naturally means she would have the servants in her house help her with everything and the female servants helps her with bathing. When she finally left her family, she never dropped this because Katara was the one to take that role because in Katara eyes Toph needed help since she was blind. Because of these factors It's pretty understandable why she doesn't have any problems with this.
Naruto, however, didn't know this and was surprised at her boldness. He quickly covered his face with his hand then slightly moved his fingers so he could see a little. The only thing in the room for a minute was silence until he broke it. The only thing he could say was.
"Um, Toph."
"Yea I'm almost done. Ah, could you help me avoid ripping off my bandages. It would help a lot." Hearing this, Naruto was in turmoil but reluctantly decided to help her because at the end of the day, she was blind and couldn't see things this detailed. After spending a longer time than expected with Naruto was fumbling a lot, they were finally done. Naruto looked at the time of the clock on the wall.
"Oh crap."
"What is it"
"We're actually running late." Naruto replied frantic.
"Then calm down, hurry up and lead the way." And Naruto did just that, calming down he ran towards the window.
"Alright, follow me." he opened the window and jumped out, running on top of the buildings. Toph stood there with a surprised look on her face.
"Ok, Shinobi world, not mine, I guess that's... normal." She stomped the ground, wide searching for Naruto. She sensed him standing with a taller person beside him. She also jumped out of the window and ran in the direction she sensed him. In about a minute or two, Naruto could see her running towards him. He yelled at Toph.
"Hey! Toph-chan! Over here!" When she got in front of Naruto, she spoke in a dangerous tone.
"Do not disappear from my senses like that again." Realizing his mistake, Naruto sheepishly spoke.
"Oh yeah, Sorry."
"Your damn right your sorry. Disappearing in one second and ending up on the other side of the village in the next." She fumed.
"Yeah, I was jumping on the buildings. It's the best way for a Shinobi to travel in their village. But if we go on a mission, I'll have to jump on trees." Toph just crossed her arms and pouted.
"Well, none of that when you're with me." Naruto blushed a little at how she looked when she was pouting. He then started to picture it again, her changing into her clothes in front of him. His blush deepened.
'Stop thinking of her like that. She's your friend, remember. And you like Sakura-chan.' He reminded himself. Jiraiya, seeing Naruto's reaction to Toph, smirked.
'Seems the gaki has a little crush on this girl. Found some new blackmail material.' He then turned to Naruto and asked the two questions that's been filling his head.
"Gaki, Who's the girly and why's she here. I hope you're not planning on bringing her with us."
"This." Naruto grabbed Toph's hand and dragged her towards Jiraiya.
"Is Toph. She took down Shukaku and we became friends when I was visiting her in the hospital." Toph seemed to look directly at Jiraiya and spoke.
"Yo, the name's Toph. Ya know, you look pretty good for an old timer. Not better than me though. So, even though I already know, I'll ask anyway. Who're you." She smirked at her own joke. Naruto almost choked, not expecting her to make a blind joke. Jiraiya smiled at her, out of the loop and failing to realize the joke that'd been played on him. He started to get in his pose.
"Oh, hell, not this again." Naruto muttered face palming. This caused Toph to raise an eyebrow. She soon heard yelling from Jiraiya.
"I AM THE ONE AND ONLY! HAILED AS THE SAGE FROM MOUNT MYOBOKU. ALL MEN HATE ME AND ALL WOMEN WISH TO DATE ME. I AM THE STRONG, THE FAST, THE SMART, THE ONE AND ONLY TOAD SAGE, GAMMA SENNIN, THE GALLANT, JIRAIYA!!!" Toph stared at him blankly and said.
"If you love to introduce yourself like that to every woman, I can tell why women hate you." Naruto got close and whispered in her ear.
"No Toph-chan, that actually isn't it. It's just a small annoying part of him. The main reason is his tendency to peek on women, mainly when they're in the hot spring, because, as he put it." Jiraiya having heard this spoke.
"It's the most through, fastest way I can have inspiration for my literature." A face of realization appeared on Toph.
"Ah. I get it now, so. To put it simply, You're a pervert." Jiraiya yelled at her indignantly after hearing that.
"Hey! I am not a pervert!" He then smirked after the outburst.
"I'm a super pervert!! HAHAHAHAHA" He busted out laughing. Toph just shook her head and sighed.
"Like that's any better." She muttered. Naruto coughed, getting Toph's and Jiraiya's attention.
"Can we go. We got a hokage to find. You can do this while we're searching for Lady Tsunade." Toph shrugged her shoulders.
"He's got a point. We can do this shit later. We need to find the new leader of this village." Jiraiya nodded.
"Yes. Due to the way Tsunade travels I don't know how long she'll be at her current location. We must hurry." The three of them then walked out of the village in search of Tsunade.
