Chapter 1
Kuchiyose No Jutsu
Jiraiya watched as Naruto defeated the last of his many shadow clones. He had told him to use up most of his chakra so he could learn the summoning jutsu. "Looks like you finally used up most of your chakra. I will now teach you the move then." Naruto cheered at finally getting to learn his newly found teacher's jutsu "First, I'll show you. Watch carefully." The toad sage declared. He bit his thumb, swiped the blood onto his palm and swiftly ran through a short series of hand signs, slamming his hand onto the ground, he shouted "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" In a puff of smoke, an orange toad with blue markings as large as him appeared beneath his feet with a scroll wrapped in its tongue.
"That was cool!" Naruto watched in amazement. He quickly bit his thumb and ran through the hand seals, and pumped as much chakra into the jutsu as he could.
"Wait Naruto, performing that jutsu without signing a summoning contract is risky!"
Not hearing Jiraiya's plea, Naruto slammed his hand onto the ground and shouted, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu." Both Naruto and Jiraiya stared at the figure that appeared from the clearing smoke.
There, sitting with a meditating posture, was a man wearing a white sage cloak with a circle containing a ripple pattern on the upper back and nine magatama below it. His hair was white, which betrayed his otherwise youthful looking face despite it being quite pale. But even though he seemed to be physically young, it was evident that he had wisdom and power beyond his appearance. His eyes were closed, his arms were in a relaxed position and he had a relaxed look to him, almost as if he was at peace.
As he sat there seemingly meditating, his skin began to gain color, and vitality seemed to flow into him. That's when Jiraiya saw something apparently nonexistent. something that only someone with years of training to notice the smallest of details could notice. What seemed to be bringing the color was in fact miniscule kanji radiating from what looked like every cell. Once as the kanji all dispelled, the man began to stir from his meditating position. "Where am I?" He asked with a voice that sounded as though it had not been used in a long time, yet still exuded power. This caused the two staring shinobi to come out of their stupor.
"This the land of fire," Naruto answered with his normal excitement, "More precisely, we're a couple miles away from Konohagakure."
"Konoha?" The man asked more to himself than to the two ninja and toad standing a few feet away from him. His eyes opened for the first time, revealing the same ripple pattern as the one on the back of his cloak. This shocked the toad sage. He was looking at eyes believed to be nothing more than a myth. And this person wasn't the first he'd seen with that legendary dojutsu. As he recollected his deceased pupil, Naruto studied the newcomer. He didn't quite understand it, but he felt as though he could trust this person. It was like how he felt when around the sandaime, Kakashi or his latest sensei.
"Hey kid, what's your name?" The strange man asked, his curiosity finally taking hold.
"Uzumaki Naruto" Naruto proudly proclaimed, "And this is Ero-Sennin"
"I'm pleased to meet you Naruto-san, and you too Erosennin-sama"
"You don't need to use an honorific" Naruto chuckled from the man calling Jiraiya Erosennin.
"MY NAME IS NOT EROSENNIN!" Jiraiya began to do his introduction pose atop his still-summoned toad, "I am Myouboku Mountain's Monk of the Frog Spirits. Also known as the Frog Hermit. Jiraiya!"
"Ok Jiraiya. Naruto, might I ask, how did you summon me?"
"Well, this guy" Naruto said while poking his head towards the Toad Sage, "Was teaching me a new technique, the summoning jutsu. He said something about signing a contract but I was already performing the jutsu. And that's when you appeared."
"Alright, I'm gonna do something that doesn't happen very often" biting his finger and pulling up Naruto's shirt, he began to draw out a seal with his blood. Reacting to the chakra, Naruto's Eight Trigrams seal surfaced. "Well. This should be interesting." Jiraiya and Naruto watched as he continued drawing out the seal, interweaving it with the already existing seal. Once it was finished the man simply smiled at Naruto. "Fuin" Said the man as he dissolved into the newly drawn seal that seemed very similar to the previously existing one.
End Chapter
This was my first time writing fanfiction, not sure how good I did. Sorry if the ending was a bit confusing but it'll be explained in the next chapter.
If you have any questions/comments, I'd like to get some feedback. Ill try to answer as many questions as I can. Don't know how long it'll take to write another chapter since I wrote because I was bored and my mind was overflowing.
