Jiraiya stared at the picture he held in his hand. It was one of him and Naruto on the day they had picked out his newest outfit. Naruto had a huge grin on his face and Jiraiya's smile wasn't that bad either. He chuckled remembering how Naruto's previous outfit was torn. It had been a simple sparring session until Naruto decided to throw a stink bomb at him. Once that foul smell hit his face he turned up the heat and ended up beating Naruto to a pulp. To make up for tearing up his last orange jumpsuit Jiraiya agreed to buy Naruto another one. "Oi Pervy Sage what you doing up so late?" A voice called out to him. Jiraiya turned to see Naruto sitting up in his futon rubbing his eyes.
"Oh just finishing up my latest novel." Jiraiya lied as Naruto nodded sleepily. "Fine but keep it down I can't sleep with all the damn noise." Naruto said laying back down. Jiraiya didn't move until he was sure Naruto was asleep. He put the picture back down on the desk. He then pulled out a scroll and stared at it. "I think it's about time I lived up to my duty as his godfather." Jiraiya whispered to himself. "He has certainly proven himself worthy of this technique but I'm still worried that he might hurt himself." Jiraiya continued gripping the scroll. "But he's at the age you wanted to learn it at; I kept postponing it and in the end you died before I could teach you." Jiraiya said smiling sadly. Tears welled up his eyes as he remembered the technique and how maybe it would've changed 'that mans fate.'
"I won't make the same mistake twice." Jiraiya finished a single tear flowing down his face. He put the scroll in a drawer before laying down. "Don't you worry up there Minato I'm taking care of him." Jiraiya said before falling asleep.
Jiraiya awoke early the next morning and immediately pulled the scroll out from the drawer. He unwrapped the scroll and did a hand sign. A puff of smoke appeared and when it cleared two outfits emerged along with another scroll. One outfit was similar to Jiraiya's usual only it was blue and had the kanji for Chakra on the back of it. There was a special headband with the same kanji along with the moon to the left of it and the sun to the right. "Never thought I'd actually pass it down but it's time." Jiraiya muttered putting the outfit on. The second outfit resembled Jiraiyas in the idea of the blue robe but it had the kanji for 'apprentice' on it. There was also a pair of blue gloves along with a head band that held the kanji for 'chakra' and 'apprentice' on it along with the sun and the moon on either side of the kanji.
Jiraiya grabbed the scroll before quickly writing a note saying for Naruto to put it on instead of his usual outfit and to meet him at team seven's training grounds. Jiraiya then held his hand out and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Jiraiya appeared at the training ground and held the scroll open. He then set the scroll down and began to meditate in front of it. About thirty minutes later Naruto came running onto the training grounds wearing the outfit Jiraiya had left for him. "Oi Pervy sage this better not be some kind of joke or I'll seriously kick your ass." Naruto said not noticing Jiraiya.
"Took you long enough." Jiraiya said opening one eye to see Naruto standing there. "Ya so what's the big idea with this stupid outfit?" Naruto asked gesturing to said outfit. "That outfit is a sign of an apprentice to a Chakra Sage." Jiraiya said opening both eyes. Naruto quickly realized that Jiraiya was wearing a similar outfit and tilted his head. "Chakra Sage?" Naruto asked curiously. "Yes as you know I am the Toad sage but that is only a small part of my power." Jiraiya began standing up. "In fact it is so small that when compared to my title as Chakra Sage is the same as comparing Genin to Hokage." Jiraiya continued tapping his head band. "Well if it's so great how come I've never heard of the Chakra Sage." Naruto complained cracking his knuckles.
"Because it's power is so great that it is only known by a few and taught to even fewer." Jiraiya cracking his neck. "Ok so what does that have to do with me wearing this get up?" Naruto asked impatiently. "That get up is to help you learn the techniques that come with the title of Chakra Sage." Jiraiya said as Naruto groaned. "Whatever you say Pervy Sage." Naruto said as Jiraiya smirked. "Trust me what I'm about to teach you is something that I refused to teach even the Fourth Hokage." Jiraiya chuckled. Naruto's eyes widened at the mention of the Fourth Hokage. "You refused to teach the Fourth?" Naruto asked anxiously. "Yes and he begged me to teach it to him for many years; but I can understand if you don't want to learn because of the outfit." Jiraiya said nonchalantly while waving his hand.
"No. No. I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that!" Naruto protested as Jiraiya smiled. "Ok then let's begin." He responded doing handsigns. He continued doing the hand signs with such concentration you would think it was some kind've resurrection jutsu. Jiraiya continued for about ten seconds before slamming his hand down like a summoning Jutsu. "Infinite Chakra Gate: Rise!" Jiraiya commanded as a sort of gate rose from the ground in front of him. The gate was blue in color and it had white wooden doors. "Open!" Jiraiya commanded once more. This time the gate opened and Jiraiya smiled at Naruto's reaction. He was looking at the insides of the gate as if it were heaven it's self. Jiraiya looked up at the containments of the gate. Inside showed a large wolf like creature restricted by thousand's of chains. The wolf looked to be the size of Gamakichi and it had a katana on it's side like a samurai.
Naruto stood bewildered as the wolf grunted. Jiraiya walked over to Naruto's side as the Wolf awoke. "Jiraiya why have you summoned me?" The Wolf asked glaring at Naruto. "Drakura I have come to introduce you to my disciple and successor." Jiraiya said putting a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "I see you have finally picked a disciple." Dakura stated his glare softening. "Naruto introduce yourself." Jiraiya whispered. Naruto quickly bowed to the large wolf before looking upwards. "I am Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said rising up. Jiraiya chuckled at how formal Naruto was being. Either Naruto was growing up or he was just scared out of his mind. Most likely the latter.
"I am Drakura: the Chakra Spirit creator." Drakura spoke in a loud voice. Naruto looked at him with curiosity in his eyes. "My job is to create a creature made completely of chakra as the Chakra Sage's companion." Drakura said as Naruto nodded. "Jiraiya would you please demonstrate a Chakra Companion for him?" Drakura asked as Jiraiya nodded. "GamaKura." Jiraiya said clapping his hand's together. A puff of smoke appeared over Jiraiya's shoulder and it when it cleared a blue toad landed on his shoulder. The toad was in the same outfit Jiraiya was only his head band had the kanji for 'partner.' on it. "Good afternoon Jiraiya-sama." The toad spoke. "Good afternoon Gamakura-san." Jiraiya responded as Naruto looked bewildered.
"A chakra companion takes the animal form that his partner best represents." Drakura stated as Naruto nodded. "So how do I get one?" Naruto as Drakura smiled. "Simply touch one of my chains and it shall be done." Drakura stated as Naruto gulped. Jiraiya patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to do so. "Go on Naruto he won't bite unless you summon him to." Jiraiya stated as Naruto gulped once more. Naruto took a deep breath and stepped up to one of the chains. He then grasped it and when he did he felt a huge surge of chakra flow through him before it receded back into the chain taking quite a bit of his own with it.
Naruto fell to his knees in exhaustion and was panting heavily. Drakura smiled opening one of his paws. A small blue fox was curled in the center of the paw. "Naruto this is your partner Makura." Drakura stated as Naruto looked up at the small fox. It looked no older then an infant fox. "You will need to raise this fox until it is big enough to fight." Drakura stated his arm moving over to Naruto. Naruto picked up the small fox which could barely fit in the palm of his hand. "Once it is strong enough to fight any techniques you know Makura will know and any knowledge you posses it will as well." Drakura stated before retreating back into the gate. "I have done my part Jiraiya now it is up to you to train him to be a proper Chakra Sage." Drakura stated as Jiraiya nodded. The door's suddenly closed and the gate returned to the ground in which it came.
The fox pup let out a little yawn as Naruto looked curiously at it. "So what now?" Naruto asked as Makura snuggled into his hand. "Now we go home so you can rest and then we begin the next part of your training." Jiraiya stated as Gamakura nodded. "Ya after your all rested up we will begin the Chakra forming training." Gamakura said in a small voice. Naruto pulled Makura to his chest and let it snuggle into his shirt. Jiraiya smiled at Naruto as he began to walk back to their apartment.
