Gamabunta had a vicious-looking face, stood a hundred zhang tall, clenched a pipe in his mouth, wore a short sword at his waist, and bore a scar over his left eye. His entire body was red, and he looked like someone not to be trifled with.
Gamaken carried a Pot Shield on his back and held a trident in his hand. A hundred zhang tall and purplish-red all over, he was a master of both offense and defense from Mount Myoboku. He suddenly said, "I may be too foolish, but I do not know why I was summoned to this place."
Gamahiro carried twin blades on his back and folded his arms across his chest. Skilled in swordsmanship and swift in movement, he stood a hundred zhang tall, entirely emerald green, with an imposing air.
Gamayū wore a conical hat and a cloak, his eyes sharp as lightning. Entirely black and a hundred zhang tall, he excelled at hidden weapons and rarely smiled.
Gamami was particularly unusual. He lay on the ground fast asleep, belly facing the sky, his snores shaking the heavens. His white belly bore a spiral mark, and his snow-white body stood a hundred zhang tall. He excelled at Genjutsu.
"Is this Naruto's talent?" Jiraiya could not calm his emotions for a long time. He muttered, "Summoning Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro would have been one thing—I can summon them too... But why could Naruto even summon Gamayū and Gamami?"
"Huff—" Gamabunta took a puff from his pipe and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, then looked to either side.
Gamabunta was utterly confused as well. What madness had Jiraiya gotten into? Why had he summoned all Five Toads of Mount Myoboku, especially Gamayū and Gamami?
Gamabunta took several more puffs from his pipe. The atmosphere became extremely awkward. After waiting for so long, why had Jiraiya still not shown himself?
Jiraiya had already slipped away, sneaking off in secret. Even as he fled, he muttered, "Naruto, I only wanted you to summon some ordinary toads. I never expected you to summon all Five Toads of Mount Myoboku. You can handle the rest yourself. I can't keep this situation under control."
"Jiraiya, you bastard! Why did you summon us here?" Gamabunta finally lost his patience and shouted, "Jiraiya, get out here! You idiot!"
Jiraiya used all kinds of concealment techniques, hiding behind various buildings and avoiding Gamabunta's line of sight.
"Hey, kid, where is Jiraiya?" Gamabunta finally noticed a boy standing atop his head.
"Why are you looking for the Pervy Sage?" Naruto asked back.
"I'm the one who wants to ask why that perverted old man summoned the five of us!" Gamabunta snapped.
"Maybe it was a misunderstanding." Naruto smiled. "I just failed to control the force and summoned all of you."
"You?" Gamabunta did not believe him at all. Could this little brat before him really summon all Five Toads of Mount Myoboku?
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting, kid? You think you have the ability to use the Summoning Technique to call all five of us?" Gamabunta could not help but burst into laughter. "Hahahahahahaha!"
At this point, many Jonin from Konoha, along with most of the ninjas from Sunagakure, had gathered around.
The Third Hokage personally arrived at the scene. He stared at the Five Toads of Mount Myoboku in shock. Had Jiraiya returned to the village? Was Jiraiya fighting someone? Why had he used the Summoning Technique?
The Fourth Kazekage, disguised by Orochimaru, was equally shocked. He too guessed that Jiraiya was in the village. Orochimaru knew Jiraiya's strength very well. If Jiraiya made a move, then the Konoha Crush Plan would definitely fail.
There are too many changes. The plan may need to be moved forward, Orochimaru thought.
The Third Hokage flashed onto Gamabunta's pipe. His thin body stood steadily at that height. As expected of the Hokage, his skills were still formidable.
"Hokage!" Gamabunta recognized the old man's identity from his Hokage robes.
"Where is Jiraiya?" the Third Hokage asked.
"I'm looking for him too." Before the Third Hokage, Gamabunta's attitude was somewhat more restrained.
The Third Hokage noticed Naruto then. He found it quite surprising. Why was Naruto standing on a summoned beast?
"Naruto, have you seen Jiraiya?"
"Yes, Lord Hokage, I have." Naruto said, "Jiraiya taught me the Summoning Technique, but I have no idea where he ran off to now."
The Third Hokage was somewhat surprised and quickly asked, "Then were these five summoned beasts called by you or by Jiraiya?"
"Of course it was me."
The Third Hokage turned to Gamabunta and said, "Konoha is currently holding the Chunin Ninja Exams. You should all return to where you came from."
"Mm..." Gamabunta was not very willing. "I still need to settle the score with Jiraiya."
The Third Hokage's face darkened. "Then I will send you back myself."
"..." Gamabunta looked at the frail Third Hokage before him. In the end, out of respect for the Hokage, he let the matter go.
White smoke rose from the bodies of the Five Toads of Mount Myoboku, and they returned to Mount Myoboku. The commotion caused by this incident finally came to an end.
Jiraiya, who had been watching the show from afar, nodded and said, "Naruto, you're pretty capable. You actually managed to settle this."
Just then, a graceful woman passed by Jiraiya, immediately stealing his soul away. Jiraiya kept staring at her, seemingly forgetting Naruto as he began seeking his own happiness.
After personally seeing off the Five Toads of Mount Myoboku, the Third Hokage took Naruto to a secluded place.
The Third Hokage stared at Naruto for a long time. That mischievous child from before had unexpectedly grown to this point, even capable of summoning five powerful summoned beasts.
With that Summoning Technique alone, how many people in Konoha could match Naruto's current strength?
"Naruto, there is something I wanted to tell you after you had grown up." The Third Hokage smiled with satisfaction. "I thought I would have to wait several more years, but seeing you now, I think I can tell you early."
Naruto immediately became interested and hurriedly asked, "Lord Hokage, what is so mysterious?"
"It concerns your parents."
Naruto instantly lost interest. Naruto had long known about his parents. Did he really need the Third Hokage to tell him?
The Third Hokage said, "Your parents left a box for you."
"A box?" Naruto was greatly surprised and quickly asked, "What kind of box is it?"
"I have decided that after you obtain the rank of Chunin in the Chunin Ninja Exams, I will give this box to you."
"..." Naruto was instantly dumbfounded. Lord Hokage, are you messing with me? At first, you said you would give me the box, and now you say I have to become a Chunin... You are obviously messing with me...
"Why do I have to become a Chunin?"
"Only when you have grown up and can understand the Will of Fire can I give you the box. Obtaining the rank of Chunin proves that you have gained an understanding of the Will of Fire."
"..." Naruto looked helpless and could only ask, "Can you reveal a little information about the box? What exactly is inside? I need some motivation too. If I do not even know what is in it, I might not be able to win the competition."
"The ninjutsu your father left behind—Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Naruto's eyes widened. This was an excellent ninjutsu for picking up girls. He only needed to place a Flying Thunder God Formula mark somewhere, then he could consume chakra to teleport to that marked location.
If I leave a Flying Thunder God Formula mark on Hinata's body, wouldn't I be able to teleport into Hinata's room every night?
