Dead Dad Saiyan

"I'm back!" Naruto pushed open the door, with Jiraiya following behind him.

Kushina came over to greet them. "Welcome back... Jiraiya-sensei?"

"Yo, sorry to intrude!" Jiraiya greeted her with a smile.

Kushina asked in surprise, "How did you two end up running into each other?"

Naruto casually said, "On my way back, I passed by the wom... Mmph!"

Jiraiya clapped a hand over Naruto's mouth and said with an awkward laugh, "Hahaha, it was nothing. We just happened to run into each other.

I recognized at a glance that this was Minato's child, so I came over with Naruto."

"Is~ that~ so?" Kushina looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what happened!" Jiraiya pressed Naruto's head down in a nod.

"Mmph." Naruto pried his hand away. "Pervy Sage, enough already!"

"Forget it, come in first." Kushina knew perfectly well what Jiraiya was like and ushered them inside. "Minato will be back soon. Sit down and have some tea first."

While Kushina turned to prepare the tea, Jiraiya pulled Naruto aside and whispered, "Naruto, could you not mention that? It's really embarrassing."

"Didn't you say you were gathering material? What's embarrassing about gathering material?"

Was I really afraid of embarrassment? I was afraid of dying! Kushina and Tsunade were too close. If she found out, who knew when it would blow up. Jiraiya touched his chest, feeling a faint ache in his ribs.

Of course, he couldn't say that out loud. Otherwise, this kid might come up with some terrible idea.

"Anyway, as long as you don't bring it up, I'll teach you a powerful Ninjutsu!"

"Why would I need to learn Ninjutsu from you when I can just learn from my dad?"

"This Chaotic Lion Hair Technique is a Ninjutsu I created myself. No one else in the entire Shinobi World knows it."

"I'm going to take a bath." Naruto gave Jiraiya a disdainful look. Trying to bribe me? Still, Jiraiya's original hair Ninjutsu sounded pretty interesting.

With this little blond hair of his, it would suddenly grow longer after using the Ninjutsu. Then he could coat himself in a layer of golden light with Nine Tails Chakra—wouldn't that make him a Super Saiyan? The name Dead Dad Saiyan just wasn't very auspicious.

When Naruto came out, he found the table already full.

"Old Dad, Kimimaro, and Teacher Kakashi, good evening!"

"Good evening." Kimimaro and Kakashi nodded in reply.

Both replies were brief, but one was because he was cool, while the other was because he was lazy.

"We were waiting for you, Naruto." Minato beckoned Naruto over, and the family chatted as they ate.

Minato caught up with Jiraiya. "Jiraiya-sensei, why did you only come back today? I clearly sent you plenty of messages through the toads."

"Hahaha, there were always one reason or another..."

Naruto curled his lip. What reasons could you possibly have? You were obviously looking for your Orochimaru, gathering material along the way.

"I can't believe Naruto is already so grown up. And you even adopted another child."

Minato praised him generously. "Kimimaro is an excellent child. Whether in strength or character, he's practically flawless."

"You flatter me." Kimimaro's tone was calm.

"He's such a polite, good child." When Jiraiya said the word "polite," he deliberately stared at Naruto.

Naruto rolled his eyes at him.

Minato had no idea what had happened between Jiraiya and Naruto. "How has Naruto's Ninjutsu training been lately?"

"Not bad. The Little Map Technique is starting to take shape, and the Flying Thunder God Technique is still the same. It feels like I'm just a tiny bit away. Also, I want to learn a more powerful Water Style Ninjutsu."

Jiraiya spotted the Blind Spot. "Little Map Technique? What's that?"

"It's Mind's Eye of the Kagura. Naruto says the effect is like putting a map in his mind, so he likes to call it that." Kushina explained.

Jiraiya froze for a moment, looking from Naruto to Minato. "Just as expected of your son, Minato."

"Hahaha, really? I think Naruto inherited my strengths too." Pride showed in Minato's voice.

Jiraiya choked. I wasn't praising you, hey.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I plan to teach Naruto the Summoning Jutsu. It's also a kind of space-time Ninjutsu, so perhaps it could help him."

If it were just an ordinary Summoning Jutsu, Minato naturally would not have brought it up specifically.

Jiraiya knew Minato had mentioned it because of Mount Myoboku's summoning contract.

Naturally, Jiraiya had no objections. "You can decide something like that yourself. I'll leave the Scroll to you from now on. He can sign his name later."

"This..."

Jiraiya waved his hand. "I should have handed this over to you long ago. You're my most outstanding disciple."

"I won't let you down."

Naruto suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, Old Dad, how are Zabuza and Haku doing?"

Minato answered, "They're both in Konoha, but their range of movement will be restricted for now. I'll make the arrangements."

Kushina feigned anger. "Speaking of that, Kakashi, you actually let Naruto and the other two children who had just graduated from school deal with someone as dangerous as Zabuza, while you only dealt with a child like Haku!"

"Huh? Well..." Kakashi scratched his cheek beneath his mask, feeling like he had been caught in the crossfire for no reason.

Those three kids had somehow ended up fighting Zabuza. I didn't have a choice either.

"Have you been slacking off again lately?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Then why did I hear from Minato that you've been reading improper books written by improper people?"

As Kushina spoke, she shot Jiraiya a vicious glare.

Jiraiya's hand paused as he picked up some food. Could that improper person be me? My fan was being scolded. Should I say something for him?

Jiraiya glanced at Kushina's bright red hair and decided against it. Kakashi, you're on your own.

"Actually... I've been developing a new Ninjutsu recently. Reading books occasionally... helps me relax, and... stimulates inspiration. Yes, that's right, stimulates inspiration."

The renowned Konoha Technician, the Copy Ninja, Kakashi of the Sharingan, was stammering without the slightest presence right now. Rather than face Master's Wife's interrogation, he would rather fight Guy... no, he would rather fight Zabuza.

"Is that so? I've decided that whenever your team doesn't have a mission, you'll train with our team!" Kushina's tone was firm and left no room for argument.

"Ah, yes." Kakashi answered weakly, feeling like even the food before him had lost its flavor.

Naruto laughed happily at the sight of Kakashi being put in his place.

Naruto nudged Kimimaro beside him and asked, "Are your three teammates still the same?"

"Still the same. And recently, Guy Sensei brought his new disciples to meet us.

It may be rude to say this, but have you ever seen five Melon Heads huddled together, shouting about youth as they cried?"
