Chapter 3

Naruto had been training with Jiraiya at Mount Myoboku for about a year now and his training was coming along great. He had perfected the water prison jutsu, and the water clone jutsu as well as a variety of other water based attacks. He also managed to gain perfect control over his water and wind chakra, and is even managed to combine his wind nature with his rasengan to create wind style: rasenshuriken.

"You've come a long way in just a year Naruto, though your fuinjutsu still needs a lot of work." Jiraiya said light heartedly receiving a chuckle from Naruto. It had been a long year, and Naruto has become a strong ninja to look out for. He still wasn't at Kakashi's level or anything, but he was easily high chunin level maybe even low jounin level in strength.

"Thanks Jiraiya-sensei, I am glad I have finally been able to touch on the Hiraishin and practice writing out the formula. I still can't figure out how my father was able to pull it off, it's still all too complicated to me. Every time I think I come close to figuring it out, I hit another dead end." Naruto said looking a bit down and annoyed.

"If anyone can figure it out it's you. Naruto. But tomorrow we start a new training schedule so be prepared, training will be amped up from now on. Here's the scroll with the schedule on it, I want you to read over it and memorize it." Jiraiya said sternly as he leaf shunshined back to where they were sleeping.

Naruto opened the scroll and nearly fainted when he read what was in store for him.

0600-0700: Eat breakfast, and warm up for training.

0700-0900: Taijutsu and muscle build up rotating with Kenjutsu.

0900-1100: Wind Jutsu practice

1100-1300: Water jutsu practice

1300-1400: Lunch and stretch

1400-1700: Fuinjutsu

1700-2000: Sage training with Fukasaku

2000-0600: Dinner and rest

Naruto knew at this point, that this was going to be much harder than the previous year. He was most excited about the sage training with Pa, and probably the addition of other toads.

The next morning

"Good to see you up nice and early, hope you ate breakfast and warmed up cause it's going to be a long day. Today I am going to give you some gravity seals that can be adjusted with chakra. It will help you gain speed while we work on taijutsu and you are to only take them off if I say so." Jiraiya explained as he placed the seals onto Naruto. Once the seals were in place they took up positions and began training.

Just as Jiraiya said the days training was long and tiring; and it was only 1200. The wind jutsu training went as well as expected, nothing too shocking happened. Naruto managed to perfect two jutsu while working on trying to combine both water and wind nature into one rasengan to make it more long range.

"How is that jutsu coming along, Naruto?" Jiraiya asked hoping his student was finally close to completing the jutsu he was working on for quite some time now.

"It's coming along well, but I am still trying to work on expanding my chakra so it comes out into a cyclone like shape rather than a shuriken. I can finally do the rasengan one handed, but this is so much tougher than this." Naruto said while thinking at what he could do to improve it.

"Well it is about lunch time and I think its time we went and got you some new clothing. It seems as if you finally gained a little height on you, and with all this training that horrid jumpsuit of yours is finally being too warn out to wear." Jiraiya said adding a little joke about the jumpsuit.

"It isn't that bad is it, Pervy-sage?" Naruto asked light heartedly back.

"Yes, it is screaming kill me now! Well lets head out to this nearby village I found back when I was doing sage training, we can continue training and eat on the way." And with that the duo made off to the village that was about half an hour's journey away.

At the store

"Ok Naruto, take a look around and try to find something you like, preferably with little to no orange." Jiraiya said seriously.

"Ok Pervy-sage, I guess I can deal without too much orange. I'll let you know when I find something!" Naruto called out as he wandered into the store trying to find something that stood out to him. He was wandering around for what seemed to be ages until he found an outfit he thought he could like. He then headed into the changing room to try it on.

"Oi! Pervy-sage! What do you think of this?" Naruto called out to his godfather. He was now wearing a plain black head band where his forehead protector used to be, black short sleeved shirt with red jacket with the zipper open and black flames licking the bottom, with 2 black stripes running down each arm, black anbu styled pants with 2 orange stripes running down each side, his katana on his back, and black ninja sandals. He was finally beginning to look like a ninja, and Naruto had to admit it looked better than the orange jumpsuit he had been wearing this whole time.

"Looks good Naruto, we should get a few of those outfits. Something tells me that you will be changing it up again in the next year or so." Jiraiya said with a chuckle.

"Thanks, do you think they could add the mount Myoboku symbol to a metal plate? I would like to have it on the headband to show my affiliation with them like you do." Naruto questioned.

"Sure I don't see why they couldn't, we might have to come pick it up later though or we could send a messenger toad out for it if anything." Jiraiya said as they went up to the register to pay. The two then made their way back to the land of toads, only after picking something up to eat along the way.

"Ok so now its fuinjutsu time right?" Naruto asked with a gleam in his eye.

"Yes, now you have come a pretty long way in the past year but there is still much to learn. You can now do storage seals with ease, as well as all the other basic seals but it is time we moved onto more advance stuff. I know your dying to be able to use your fathers Hiraishin so we can work on writing out those seals some more until you have those perfect." Jiraiya decided making a very happy Naruto.

Naruto then created around 100 clones, 50 to study the scrolls his father left him and 50 to work on writing out the seals. The three hours seemed to come and go, and Naruto finally seemed to be getting the hang of writing out the seals. His father wrote down a lot of tips to learning this jutsu, and Naruto was just hoping at this point it would be enough.

"Good work today Gaki, the seals are starting to look pretty good. It won't come over night so don't get so down about not being able to perfect it in 3 hours. It is now time for you to go with Lord Fukasaku to begin your sage training, but I am going to warn you right now. This training will be the toughest out of everything you have learned so far, even I haven't perfected sage training yet." Jiraiya said causing Naruto to gape at him.

"Then how do you expect me to perfect it then!?" Naruto questioned getting annoyed at him.

"Because I have faith in you, and you have shadow clones to help you whereas I didn't." Jiraiya told him with a grin.

"Ok Pervy-sage, I will have this down in a months' time flat, count on it!" Naruto then ran off to where Fukasaku was waiting with Gamakichi.

"Ok Naruto-boy are you ready to begin sage training?" Fukasaku questioned.

"You better believe it, I will surpass Jiraiya and my father in sage jutsu." Naruto said with a determined look on his face.

"Very well, Naruto-boy. To begin with you must understand how sage mode works. In order to go into sage mode, you must be able to draw in nature energy and mix it evenly with your own chakra. It is risky however, if you draw in too much nature energy, then you will start developing toad like features. If you go too far without one of us around, then you can permanently become a toad or a statue. Another drawback to this is that you cannot draw in nature energy while moving but that is where Ma and I come in. But that is for another lesson a long way down the road. Now, are you ready to get started?" Fukasaku asked.

"You bet I am! But how do I draw in the nature energy?" Naruto questioned suddenly realizing he hadn't a clue how to begin.

"You see this oil fountain behind me? We will use this to help you with the beginning of this training, and we will gradually use less and less until you don't need it anymore." Fukasaku explained.

"Would it be ok if I created shadow clones to help me with this?" Naruto questioned being hopeful.

"I suppose, but I wouldn't recommend any more than 3, otherwise I am not sure I would be able to keep up with you." Fukasaku told him.

"Alright! Shadow clone jutsu!" Naruto called out as 3 clones poofed into existence and finally started his training to become a sage.
