Summary: In the aftermath of the attack, Naruto talks with the Nine-tails, Sasuke frets over Jiraiya, and Jiraiya has to deal with Nagato and Konan (kleenex advisory).

Naruto scowled, folding his arms stubbornly. "It's not right! It's not right to keep your chakra unbalanced like that! I don't care how important it was to stop you then, it isn't right!" He set his jaw. "I'll convince her."

After a moment, the fox snorted and settled back down beside him. "Somehow I'm not surprised."

Naruto grinned a little and leaned against his shoulder, ignoring the growl he got for that. "Good. You're learning."
