I'm Really Worried I Haven't Cultivated Enough to Be Perverted

A stack of bowls was piled high on the table.

Naruto left Ichiraku Ramen, feeling completely satisfied.

It was common knowledge.

Old Man Ichiraku's real name was not Ichiraku.

But once Naruto's belly was full, he tossed all such trivial matters to the back of his mind.

He returned home and collapsed into bed, falling asleep instantly.

The dual Four-Symbols Seal left behind by Minato Namikaze had combined into the Eight-Trigrams Seal, converting a portion of the leaking chakra for Naruto's use.

Coupled with the innate talent of the Uzumaki clan's bloodline, his chakra levels had already reached an astonishing degree.

Deep in the night.

Naruto took a shower and lay down on his bed.

Sealing Space.

"Still as much of an idiot as ever; it seems I expected too much."

The Nine-Tails grumbled.

The Nine-Tails, who loathed the world, had never understood.

Why Naruto Uzumaki did not hate humanity.

How he could remain so optimistic despite suffering the same rejection.

"Alright!"

"Time to start training!"

Sealing Space.

Naruto appeared outside the gate.

Ignoring the Nine-Tails' surprise, he began practicing the Rasengan on his own.

The Nine-Tails glanced at Naruto, pretending to be indifferent.

What on earth is this brat trying to do? it wondered.

Whoosh!

He failed at high speed.

He was only a step away from mastering the Rasengan on his first attempt.

Naruto didn't take it to heart and continued his training!

Hm?

He was actually training seriously?

The Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes, staring at Naruto from within the darkness.

What kind of trick is he pulling?

Doesn't he need to rest in the middle of the night?

It cast its gaze outside Naruto's body.

It discovered at least ten Shadow Clones sleeping all over the room.

What kind of sane person uses the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique just to sleep!

According to the mechanics of the Shadow Clones.

Naruto was essentially using less than one-tenth of his energy to train the Rasengan.

Nine-tenths of himself were currently resting.

By tomorrow morning, he would still be full of energy!

Naruto kept forming the Rasengan over and over again.

The Nine-Tails gradually began to understand what the kid was doing.

The Rasengan was a non-elemental combat ninjutsu that Minato Namikaze had modeled after the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Not only was its destructive power astonishing, but it could also be infused with various types of chakra to enhance its potency.

As a Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails naturally noticed the telltale signs immediately.

Damn it!

The more the Nine-Tails thought about it, the angrier it became.

Naruto Uzumaki was actually practicing the Rasengan right here in the Sealing Space, right in front of its face, completely disregarding it!

He'll never be able to learn it!

The Rasengan was an A-rank ninjutsu; if it were that easy to learn, it would be a total insult to its prototype, the Tailed Beast Bomb!

"I've mastered it!"

Naruto had spent the better part of the night practicing and finally managed to manifest his first Rasengan.

A single point of light appeared within the dark Sealing Space.

The Nine-Tails watched silently for a moment.

Hmph, it thought to itself, he is merely relying on the talent inherited from Minato Namikaze!

"Hahahaha!"

Naruto was overjoyed.

He grabbed the bars of the cage and shouted at the Nine-Tails.

"Are you asleep? Nine-Tails! Are you asleep? You aren't, are you!"

Naruto stared wide-eyed, shouting at the top of his lungs.

The noise was so irritating that the Nine-Tails covered its fox ears.

"Hurry up and send a tail over here; I want to test the power of this Rasengan!"

Naruto said excitedly.

Have some decency!

The Nine-Tails truly could not take it anymore.

It never expected that this brat, Naruto Uzumaki, would finally reveal his true colors!

Swish!

The Nine-Tails turned its back, completely ignoring Naruto.

"I knew you weren't asleep, you little fox!"

Naruto clapped his hands.

He hadn't expected his own talent to be this formidable.

He had managed to fully master the Rasengan in just two hours.

"Goodbye, little fox. This environment is perfect for training; I'll be back!"

Naruto bid farewell to the Nine-Tails.

When he opened his eyes, it was already broad daylight.

He arrived at the meeting spot he had agreed upon with Jiraiya.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so early!"

Jiraiya hurriedly tucked away his copy of Make-Out Paradise.

"Naruto, let's continue with yesterday's training first."

Tap, tap, tap!

Naruto moved across the water with ease, as if walking on flat ground.

"It seems you've been practicing diligently in private, kid!"

Jiraiya was very pleased.

It appeared that Naruto could indeed compensate for his shortcomings through hard work.

"Since you've completed the basic chakra training,"

"Today, we're going to learn a powerful technique!"

Swish!

Jiraiya unrolled a portion of an enormous scroll.

"If you had listened carefully in class, you would understand."

"This is the Blood Contract required for the Summoning Jutsu!"

"In essence, it is a type of space-time ninjutsu!"

"Follow my instructions, exhaust the chakra in your body, and you will have the chance to summon the Toad Clan from Mount Myoboku!"

"Remember, you must be absolutely serious. The kind of being you summon depends on your raw strength and the level of recognition you receive."

"It's impossible to summon anything particularly powerful at the start..."

Poof!

Jiraiya was still explaining the basics of the Summoning Jutsu.

Naruto had already signed the Blood Contract.

He used the Summoning Jutsu for the very first time.

Boom!

Everything around him began to shrink into insignificance.

Naruto sat atop something rather slippery.

"You have no manners!"

"How dare you summon me, Toad Gamabunta!"

"And to be even more audacious, you dare stand upon my head!"

Gamabunta gripped his short sword.

His eyes crossed as he glared at Naruto, who stood right between his brows.

"I did it!"

Naruto flashed a toothy grin at Toad Gamabunta.

"A familiar scent, Jiraiya."

Gamabunta and Jiraiya locked eyes.

Jiraiya, still dazed, could only offer a gratified smile.

That was right.

This was the bloodline of the Fourth Hokage.

He had mastered the Summoning Jutsu to call a toad from Mount Myoboku on his very first try.

"Brat! Watch yourself next time!"

Before leaving, Gamabunta placed Naruto on the ground with one hand.

"Summoning Jutsu doesn't seem as difficult as you made it out to be, Master Jiraiya."

Naruto spread his hands.

He clearly felt it was ridiculously simple.

"It was just a coincidence!"

"Besides, you still needed me to explain the basics before you could learn it!"

"Back in my day, I taught myself on a moonless night without any help!"

Jiraiya felt a belly full of stifled frustration.

He truly couldn't wrap his head around it.

Was Minato Namikaze's son really this gifted?

He had summoned Gamabunta on his first attempt!

"You got lucky."

"There are 29 days left until the third round of the Chunin Exams."

"I will be giving you special training, especially for this technique!"

Jiraiya conjured a Rasengan in his hand.

He struck an innocent tree with it.

BOOM!

A massive hole was blasted right through the center of the tree!

The power was astonishing!

"I am going to teach you how to master this technique called the Rasengan. Its difficulty is extremely high; you'll be lucky if you can learn it within seven days!"

Jiraiya explained the principles and foundations of the Rasengan.

"Alright, now take a water balloon and start practicing the first stage!"

WHOOSH!

"Is it like this?"

Naruto held a Rasengan in his hand that was even larger than the one from last night.

That was too fast!

Jiraiya felt a complex mix of emotions.

"You! Your talent is... acceptable, I suppose."

No matter how he thought about it.

Minato Namikaze couldn't possibly have appeared in Naruto's dreams to teach him the Rasengan.

"Chakra control, Summoning Jutsu, and the Rasengan are merely filling in some of your shortcomings."

"At most, this is just basic training!"

After the initial awkwardness, Jiraiya couldn't help but be overjoyed.

At this age, Naruto could finally catch the tail end of those monstrous geniuses!

Perhaps in the future, another genius like Minato Namikaze really could emerge!

"So that's how it is!"

"I was worried my training wasn't intense enough!"

Naruto shattered a boulder with a single Rasengan.

He then asked a question that left Jiraiya extremely awkward.

"So, how are we going to conduct this hellish training for the next 29 days?"

Hellish training!

Jiraiya blinked.

Crows seemed to fly across the sky above him.

What else was there to teach?

Sage Mode?

"It's time to teach you some Fire and Earth Style ninjutsu that incorporate chakra nature transformation!"

Jiraiya refused to believe that Naruto possessed ancestral talent for learning other ninjutsu as well!
