Pervert

Naruto walked into the hot springs and headed toward the reception desk. A woman around forty sat in the chair behind it.

"Good afternoon. Is my grandmaster, Jiraiya, soaking in the hot springs?" Naruto asked.

"No," she replied. "There are two female ninja inside, but the men's side is empty," she explained.

Naruto sighed and walked out. When he stepped outside, he noticed Ebisu there.

"Peeping on women bathing again?" Naruto startled Ebisu.

"What are you talking about? I'm a gentleman."

"Of course, of course. Your face is red, and your nose is bleeding." Naruto pointed at him.

"Nonsense," Ebisu argued. "Shouldn't you be training? I heard you're going to fight Sasuke Uchiha. He's a genius, you know?" Ebisu said.

"Yes, yes, Sasuke is amazing, I know. Once I defeat him in front of everyone, no one will say that anymore."

"Do you really think you can defeat an Uchiha?"

"Of course. Shouldn't you be training Konohamaru? What are you sneaking around here for?" Naruto asked.

Ebisu smugly rubbed the bridge of his nose and said:

"I'm testing whether the hot water is suitable, so Konohamaru can train his chakra control."

Naruto was about to expose him when he heard a snicker from the roof of the bathhouse. The two of them immediately looked around and found a man using a small telescope to spy on the female ninja bathing.

Ebisu shouted:

"You've got some nerve!" Then he charged at the man.

What a pain... interrupting my "research." the man thought. Suddenly, he turned into a puff of smoke and became a toad. The toad swiftly lashed out its tongue, wrapped it around Ebisu, and flung him hard to the ground, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

A... toad. Naruto stared at the man. He was tall, with white hair tied into a spiky ponytail that trailed down his back, while two long locks of hair fell to his shoulders on either side of his face.

"Are you Jiraiya?" Naruto asked as he looked at the man.

Jiraiya looked at the blond youth before him, then suddenly began dancing as he said:

"I may look like another sage, but before my eyes, none of you can hide. From north, east, west, to south... all women are captivated by me... I am the gallant Jiraiya." He stopped dancing and saw Naruto staring at him strangely.

"Are you really my grandmaster?" Naruto asked.

"Grandmaster?... Na, Na, Naruto?" Jiraiya asked. Looking closely, he really did resemble Minato.

"Yes," Naruto replied.

"You've grown up." Jiraiya walked toward him.

"You'll definitely become a handsome man who charms the masses. I think I've found my next successor." Jiraiya laughed loudly and patted him on the back.

"I really can't understand why my father chose you."

"You know who your father is?" Jiraiya's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that.

"Yes, I've known since I was five. Looks like you haven't returned to this village since then." Naruto said, and Jiraiya nodded.

"Since you're here, how about training with me to prepare for the Chunin Exams?" Naruto suggested. Jiraiya thought for a moment, then began to chuckle.

"I'll train you, but on one condition," Jiraiya said.

"What condition?"

"I want you to get me some mature 'fruit.'" Jiraiya giggled, gesturing with both hands as if describing the figure of an elegant woman.

A wicked grin appeared at the corner of Naruto's mouth.

"I have something even better than that for you."

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.

Naruto activated his Sharingan and showed Jiraiya its full power.

Before Jiraiya could say anything, Naruto met his eyes and said:

"Genjutsu: Spring Fever Illusion."

Then Jiraiya was pulled into an illusion of a hot spring that resembled one in Konoha Village.

"Jiraiya~~" A blond girl walked toward Jiraiya, who was already soaking in the water. She had a slender figure, but the most striking thing about her was her ample D-cup chest.

"Tsunade, I knew you liked me. Come over here." Jiraiya nearly fainted from delight as he spoke.

The moment Naruto heard the name "Tsunade," he thought, Absolutely not. Then he immediately dispelled the genjutsu.

Jiraiya looked displeased.

"Don't you dare touch my grandma, you pervert!" Naruto shouted.

"Grandma? And the Sharingan? You need to explain this clearly." Jiraiya said seriously.

"Fine, but you can't tell anyone yet," Naruto said.

"How do you have the Sharingan?" Jiraiya asked.

Naruto told him everything about his background.

"How did you know what your father told you?" Jiraiya asked curiously.

"I'm not really sure how he did it, but when I awakened the Sharingan at five, he appeared in my mindscape and told me everything," Naruto explained.

That kid was always a genius. It's possible, Jiraiya thought.

"Do you know where Tsunade is? After all, she still has family in me. I promised the old man that I would bring her back," Naruto finally said.

"Good luck. She lost everything and left the village for good. I tried talking to her, but it didn't work. We'll go find her after the Chunin Exams," Jiraiya said.

"Alright then, stupid pervert-senpai, will you train me?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya twitched at the nickname.

"Don't call me that, idiot. Fine, I'll teach you a few techniques. Let's go somewhere else," he replied.

A while later, they arrived at an open area.

"Alright, we'll start with this..." Jiraiya said. "The next few ninjutsu were all created by me personally. Use your Sharingan so it'll be easier to remember the hand seals." Naruto activated his Sharingan.

"Ninjutsu—Needle Jizō." Jiraiya said. Immediately, his hair rapidly grew and formed a shell around his body, protecting him. "Your turn," he said.

Naruto began imitating Jiraiya's movements. After his third attempt, Naruto was able to perform the ninjutsu effortlessly and even use it in combat.

"Well done. Remember, this ninjutsu can only withstand attacks of B-rank and below," Jiraiya explained, and Naruto nodded.

"Pervert-senpai!" Naruto called. The corner of Jiraiya's eye twitched wildly. "You trained my father, right?" he asked. Jiraiya nodded, and Naruto continued, "Do you know how he trained with the Flying Thunder God?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" Jiraiya asked. Suddenly, he realized something. "Don't tell me you can use it too?" he asked in shock.
