"Pervy Sage, hurry up and teach me that Big Ball Rasengan thing!"
With Shinichi egging him on, Naruto promptly turned his sights on Jiraiya.
"Get your chakra control down first, then you can learn it!"
Jiraiya snapped irritably.
Did he really think the Big Ball Rasengan was easy to learn?
He had figured it out. Shinichi was blatantly making more work for him.
Kirin, Rasen Shuriken-how were Naruto and Sasuke supposed to learn S-rank ninjutsu at their current level?
The guy was deliberately dangling impossible promises in front of the two boys!
What a devious bastard!
"Oh, right, Jiraiya. I'd suggest teaching Naruto the Summoning Technique first!"
Shinichi thought for a moment, then walked back and suggested, "This kid's a notorious troublemaker. If he runs into someone really powerful and can't handle them himself, he'll have someone to help him. That way, he won't get pushed into..."
He left the sentence unfinished, but Jiraiya understood.
Given Naruto's personality, a sufficiently intense emotional shock could easily send the tailed beast's power inside him rampaging out of control.
"You're right."
Jiraiya nodded in agreement. "Then I'll teach Naruto the Summoning Technique first!"
In fact, even without Shinichi's suggestion, Jiraiya would have eventually had Naruto sign a Summoning Contract with Mount Myōboku.
"Teacher, what about me?"
There was no denying that Sasuke and Naruto really were best buddies who loved and hated each other in equal measure.

"You want to learn the Summoning Technique too?"
Shinichi froze.
It really wasn't that he didn't want to teach Sasuke. In the original story, Sasuke had signed a Summoning Contract with Ryūchi Cave through Orochimaru. But Orochimaru wasn't here, and Shinichi had no connections with Ryūchi Cave. What
