Half a year later.
In a remote mountain forest, the leaves were rustling in the wind.
Jiraiya was sitting on a rock, with a booklet spread out in his hand, and the tip of his pen hung on the paper for a long time.
During this time, he was practicing with Naruto while collecting intelligence from outside.
The recent rumors have been very wrong. First, One-Tail of Sand Village had an accident, and then there was news that other Tailed Beasts Jinchuriki was missing.
Jiraiya looked at the names scrawled on the paper and frowned more and more.
Naruto is following him outside now, seemingly free, but in fact it is already very dangerous.
But if you reply to Konoha...
Jiraiya thought of Danzo's gloomy face, and the pen in his hand paused.
No, that guy Danzo will send Naruto into Root and completely become his appendage.
After returning, Naruto may be even more dangerous than now.
Jiraiya's face darkened.
"Maybe..."
Just then.
Boom!
A cloud of smoke and dust suddenly exploded not far away.
Jiraiya looked up.
I saw Naruto running out of the cigarette, with messy hair and ash on his face.
When he saw Jiraiya looking over, he immediately scratched his head and grinned.
"Hehe... it seems like I can't control it well again."
Jiraiya The corners of his mouth twitched.
"What does it mean?"
Naruto scratched his head and whispered.
"Obviously I was almost able to blend in just now."
Jiraiya was about to scold him, but her eyes stopped on him for a moment.
I saw that Naruto was much higher than before.
The clothes he wore before were obviously a bit too short on him, the trouser legs were exposed to the ankles, and the cuffs were so tight that they looked like they could be burst by him at any time.
Jiraiya stared at him for a while and sighed.
"Okay, let's not practice today."
Naruto was stunned.
"Ah? Why?"
Jiraiya stuffed the pamphlet into his arms, stood up and patted the dust on his clothes.
"Go to town."
Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up.
But the next second, he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"Pervy Sage, you don't want to steal from the bathhouse again..."
"Shut up, you brat!"
Jiraiya had a vein on his forehead and raised his hand to hit him.
"I was collecting materials! Do you understand the materials?"
Naruto made a face at him.
"I don't believe it!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran out.
"Whoever comes to town last gets treated to ramen!"
Before he finished speaking, the person had already fled far away.
Jiraiya looked at the orange figure flying through the forest, stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
"This boy."
The speed is indeed much faster than before.
It seems that these six months of practice have paid off.
However, I will not lose to you easily!
The next moment, Jiraiya bit his finger, quickly Hand Seals his hands, and slammed it on the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang!
White smoke exploded, and a huge Toad appeared in the forest, shaking several surrounding trees.
Toad lowered his head and looked at Jiraiya.
"Boss, who are you going to fight?"
Jiraiya quickly jumped on its back.
"There will be no fighting today, let's train our body skills."
Toad was silent for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand what he meant.
Jiraiya grinned, then pointed in the direction Naruto left.
"In that direction, move forward quickly!!!"
The next moment, the big Toad kicked off its hind legs, its huge body jumped into the air with a bang, and flew forward with Jiraiya.
Naruto, who was running wildly among the branches, heard the noise and looked back, his eyes widened.
"Ha?! Pervy Sage You cheated!"
There was a burst of laughter in the air.
"Hahaha, you didn't say you can't use psychic beasts!"
Naruto jumped in anger.
"Damn it! I won't lose!"
He clapped his hands.
Bang bang bang bang!
Dozens of Shadow Clone appeared in the forest instantly.
His clones hugged a big tree and pulled it back hard. The trunk was bent a little bit, making a creaking sound.
Naruto's body jumped to the treetop.
"Look at me!"
The clones let go at the same time.
Phew!
The tree trunk suddenly bounced back, and Naruto's whole body rushed forward with a swish, as if being shot out by a bowstring.
Not long after, the rooftops of the town appeared in front.
Naruto almost rolled to the entrance of the town.
As soon as he stood firm, he saw Jiraiya sitting on the stone pier by the roadside, looking at him with a smile.
"It's slow, Naruto."
Naruto gasped and pointed at him, unable to speak for a long time.
"You... you are so shameless!"
Jiraiya spread out his hands.
"I am willing to admit defeat."
Naruto's face suddenly fell.
He slowly took out his frog wallet from his arms.
The little frog was shriveled beyond appearance.
Naruto turned the wallet upside down and shook it.
Ding.
Ding.
Two coins fell into the palm of my hand.
Naruto stared at the two coins in his hand.
The lips were deflated.
"It's over..."
"Already bankrupt."
Jiraiya came over, looked down, and immediately laughed.
Naruto immediately covered the wallet.
"This is an accident!"
"Oh?"
"I just have no money temporarily!"
Jiraiya sneered, stretched out his hand to hold his head, and pushed him directly into the town.
"Okay, let's go buy clothes first."
Naruto was stunned for a moment.
"Buying clothes?"
"Look down and see for yourself."
Naruto then lowered his head and looked at the clothes he was wearing.
The trouser legs were a bit too short and the cuffs were too tight. When he was running all the way here, he felt a little unable to stretch his arms, but he never took it seriously.
Naruto scratched his head.
"It seems a little too small."
"Is that a bit?"
Jiraiya glanced at him.
"Wear it for two more days, and the clothes will win for the enemy first in a fight."
Naruto was immediately unconvinced.
"How can clothes defeat me?"
That being said, when he entered the shop, he still tried on a few sets honestly.
Finally, he changed into a new set of black and orange clothes.
The cuffs and trouser legs are neatly gathered, the clothes fit perfectly, and it's Naruto's favorite color.
Naruto When he stood in front of the mirror, he was stunned for a moment.
He looked around, then raised his hand and punched twice.
"It seems pretty good."
Jiraiya stood nearby, touched his chin and took a few glances.
nodded.
Naruto suddenly turned around.
"Pervy Sage, how about it?"
Jiraiya immediately looked away and snorted.
"Just so-so."
"What do you mean by being careless!"
Naruto shouted dissatisfiedly, but he could no longer hold it back.
Jiraiya After paying for the clothes, the two went to a noodle shop in the town.
Naruto As soon as he sat down, he slapped the menu on the table.
"Boss! I want a big bowl!"
Jiraiya sat next to him and spoke slowly.
"Did you agree to treat me?"
Naruto froze when he moved.
He looked down at his deflated frog wallet, and silently pushed the menu towards Jiraiya.
"Um... charge it to your account first."
Jiraiya was so amused that he laughed.
Not long after, two bowls of hot noodles were served.
Naruto Break the chopsticks and put your hands together.
"I'm starting!"
Then he picked a big chopstick and sucked it into his mouth.
"Well, it's delicious!"
Jiraiya Watching him wolfing down the food, his appetite was aroused.
He also picked a bite and ate it.
After a while, he asked:
"How are you mastering the wind attribute?"
Naruto responded vaguely with noodles still stuffed in his mouth.
After he swallowed it, he wiped his mouth.
"The wind attribute is no longer a problem."
When it comes to spiritual practice, Naruto is obviously very serious about it.
"Now I can stably add the wind attribute Chakra to Rasengan!"
Jiraiya nodded.
"Why did it explode just now?"
Naruto's face suddenly stiffened, and he smiled coquettishly.
"That one is different."
He stretched out a hand, palm upward, and made a gesture.
"Rasengan is difficult to control, and Chakra keeps spinning around inside. Now I want to add the wind attribute to it, but as soon as I add it, it will suddenly become extremely unstable."
He frowned as he spoke.
"It's obviously smooth when using the wind attribute alone, but once it's put into Rasengan, it's completely different. It's all messed up when it's turned around."
Jiraiya picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and paused when he heard this.
He already knows what the problem is.
"Rasengan itself is the morphological change of Chakra."
Jiraiya took a bite of noodles and said slowly.
"Now that you want to add the wind attribute to it, you are maintaining the change of form and nature at the same time."
Naruto was stunned for a while.
"That means... I have to make it spin and sharpen it at the same time?"
"Almost."
Jiraiya nodded and continued.
"And it can't be messy. Once the wind attribute spreads, Rasengan will blow up your own hand first."
Naruto nodded thoughtfully.
Then suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Hey! Yes, I can do the same thing as when I rubbed Rasengan. One clone can maintain the shape change, and one clone can specifically add the property change. That's okay!"
After saying that, he was obviously very excited.
Naruto clenched his fists. There were still a few light red marks on his palms, which were left from practicing in the past few days.
Jiraiya smiled.
Naruto continued to say excitedly.
"As long as you practice it, you will be very powerful, right?"
"When I master it, I will definitely scare Sasuke next time I see him."
"And that guy Chiya."
"They are all running so fast. I can't be left behind all the time."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and took another big mouthful of noodles.
Jiraiya was silent for a while and suddenly smiled.
"Then you have to hurry up."
Naruto looks up.
Jiraiya picked up the bowl, his tone still as casual as usual.
"Those two guys are not the type to stop and wait for someone."
Naruto was startled for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"I know!"
He drank the noodle soup in the bowl and put the bowl down with a bang.
"Boss! Another bowl!"
Jiraiya's eyes twitched.
"Hey, did you forget that you are bankrupt?"
Naruto blinked.
Then he said seriously.
"That's why I charged it to your account."
Jiraiya stared at him for a long time.
Naruto also stared at him.
The two stared at each other.
Finally, Jiraiya had a vein in his forehead and raised his hand to hit Naruto on the head.
"You are really not polite at all!"
