Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

“Oy, kid, what’s that you’ve got there?”
“Huh?” Naruto eyed the silver haired man, “what do you mean, old man?”
“That thing on your back” Jiraya insisted, indicating the intricately stylized lines covering the majority of Naruto’s back.
“Oh, that? It’s a tattoo. My kaa-chan got really mad when she found out…” Naruto trailed off evasively.
“That’s no tattoo kid, it’s a seal” Jiraya said shortly, causing Naruto to narrow his eyes at the stranger
“If you know what it is, then don’t ask!” Naruto snapped. How the did this guy distinguish the seal kaa-chan put on his back from a tattoo?
“I meant,” Jiraya growled out slowly, “what’s it for?” It wasn’t a question.
“Who the hell is asking?” Naruto shot back. Obviously, he had picked up how to swear from his mother, to a point.
Hearing his cue, Jiraya amazingly managed to perform an impromptu introduction dance in the hot spring, splashing water everywhere. For emphasis, he held open a copy of Icha-Icha Paradise in one hand at the end for Naruto to see. Though why he would take that book into a hot spring is anyone’s guess.
Naruto eyed the inside of the cover. “The world’s greatest novelist and ninja,” he read flatly, “the wonderful Jiraya-sama.”
Naruto sighed at the evidence. “Tacky silver hair: check” he muttered aloud, “lame introduction dance: check. Picture in a perverted book… sigh: check. Yeah, it’s him.”
Naruto suddenly turned his head to the wall separating the men’s bath from the female’s side. “Hey, kaa-chan! I found Uncle Jiraya!”
