"Hey Pervy Sage!" Naruto called out, as he ran forward carrying a large box of chocolates in the shape of frogs.
Naruto's voice caught Jiraiya by surprise.
"Oh, hi Naruto, what's that in your hand?" said Jiraiya.
"Hehe…these are specially-made frog chocolates from Mount Myoboku" said Naruto as he glanced at Jiraiya and thought – 'looks like he wants some, I knew it - this must be the easiest way to lure him teaching me some new Justus'.
Naruto couldn't stop himself from grinning.
"I've got two types of frog chocolates here - the brown ones are Kumite Chocolates, and the white ones are Aphrodisiac Chocolates."
At these last words, Naruto noticed Jiraiya's eyes light up, as though he was looking at two very large light bulbs in front of him.
"A…Aphrodisiac Chocolates you say?"
Jiraiya seemed to have noticed Naruto staring at him in a very satisfied manner, because he straightened himself up, cleared his throat and then said "I mean… that's very nice Naruto. Will you be sharing those with your beloved sensei?"
Those were the exact words Naruto wanted to hear.
"Yes I will give you all the white chocolates" said Naruto, and as he saw a smile lengthen on Jiraiya's face, he continued: "But only if you teach me a new Jutsu," and ended with a smile himself.
That afternoon, the sun slowly fell from the mountain tops, and Naruto could sense the leaves breezing through the air with the same sort of flow as a ninja's chakra. It felt strangely warm even though it was in the middle of autumn – this feeling must be Konoha's will of fire, he thought. Or perhaps it was because his blood was boiling and couldn't wait for what was to come. Naruto and Jiraiya stood together outside the pavilion, a low ground area trailing under the village's mountain. Thus their training began.
