Jariya stood completely stunned by the tale Naruto had just recited. He couldn't believe any of the things he heard and yet Naruto could prove them all.
From the gashes on his back to the mark of the dragon on his chest, Naruto proved that his story was indeed real.
Jariya took a deep breath to calm himself. The things this boy was telling him put him in a state of awe.
To think that the dragons still existed and that this boy was able to summon them! Jiraiya chuckled and thought 'He really is his fathers son'
"So Naruto, did these dragons tell you anything about what they can do or what they can teach you?" Jariya asked.
Naruto shook his head, coming to the realization that all he really saw them do was spit fire.
Jariya held his chin in thought 'there is usually some specialization when it comes to summons'
He couldn't bring himself to believe that every dragon did the exact same thing so he said to Naruto "I want you to summon one"
Naruto looked at him like he'd grown a second head. "Are you crazy?! Those guys are huge! I can't summon them here!"
"Just do it Naruto!"
He huffed as he moved some distance away from Jariya, bit his thumb and started going through the handseals.
He channeled his chakra and slammed his hand onto the ground. In a poof of smoke appeared... a very tiny reptilian.
It was about a foot long, light blue with tiny wings and big eyes. Naruto stared down at his summon, dumbfounded.
"I thought you'd be a lot bigger" Naruto said to the dragon.
The summon looked at Naruto and cocked it's head to the side.
"Can't you speak?" Naruto asked.
In response the dragon cocked its head to the other side.
"Guess not"
Jariya was still stunned in silence but finally his curiosity took over and he asked "so what exactly can he do?"
"I don't know." he responded. Naruto looked to the tiny dragon and said "You wanna show us what you can do little guy?"
The flying reptile now turned it's attention to Jariya. He looked back to Naruto for a moment and then suddenly took off the ground and quickly latched onto Jariya's arm.
"What the-" Jariya was cut off when he saw the summon start sparking. If you looked close enough you could see arcs of electricity dancing around it's small body and in between the spines on its back.
This electric energy was then expelled in a sphere that enveloped most of the toad sages arm. His arm began to convulse violently as pain shot through his system.
Jariya's face scrunched up in pain and he tried to bring his arm up to look at it but it came up to fast and he punched himself in the face sending him thundering to the ground.
Naruto began vehemently laughing as Jariya hit the ground and his summon came running back to him.
The dragon quickly ran up Naruto's arm and jumped up onto his head where he laid down in his soft yellow hair.
Naruto continued chuckling as Jariya tried to figure how to get his arm to do as he commanded but no matter what he tried his arm continued to twitch and spasm.
Jariya growled and he stood up while trying to hold his arm in place.
"Naruto" he started. "Just how big do these things get?"
"I've seen one almost as tall as the hokage tower" Naruto responded.
The old sage's heart stopped as he tried to fathom the kind of havoc a creature like that could inflict.
He glanced toward the small blue summon atop Naruto's head and thought 'especially since this tiny one was able to partially incapacitate me.'
He scoffed 'Imagine a widespread ability like this on the battlefield. Such power!'
"You know, I'm starting to like this little guy" Naruto said while looking upwards.
The "little guy" seemed to sneeze and as a result Naruto's hair puffed out and got even spikier than it already was.
Naruto chuckled and said "I think this calls for a celebration! Come on ero-sensei you're paying for the ramen!"
"Who said I was paying?"
Naruto stopped in his tracks and pointed to his new friend. "I can make him get the other arm you know."
Jariya threw his hands up in surrender, or rather, hand as his other arm was still twitching wildly. He sighed and wondered how long this took to wear off.
In the meantime he might as well enjoy some ramen with his new pupil. Sucks that he has to pay though.

Naruto was walking down the streets of konoha towards his favorite place in the world. Jariya was walking beside him and his new friend who he had named Seiteki was nuzzled into Naruto's hair. Evidently Jariya's arm had stopped twitching and he was feeling much better.
As Naruto walked he noticed that the villagers were staring. 'Of course they were' he thought 'They always do'
But as he analyzed their features closer he realized that these weren't the stares he'd become accustomed to. Their eyes held no hatred or disgust but instead had shock and fascination.
It seemed that everyone, from the civilians to the off duty shinobi, were taken aback by the creature resting atop his head
Naruto chuckled softly 'Seiteki must really be something for them to not be glaring at me right now.' he thought.
He grinned wide when he saw the ramen shop in the distance. Naruto dashed off and yelled back "Come on ero-sensei I'm hungry!"
"This is going to hurt my wallet" Jariya whined as he caught up with his new pupil.
Naruto took a seat and waited for someone to greet him.
Ayame stepped out of the back as Jariya took a seat next to Naruto.
Her eyes lit up as she saw her favorite customer.
"Naruto-kun! It's been so long how have you been?" She asked.
"I've been good Ayame-nee, it's been kinda hard training for the chunin exams though." he answered.
Ayame smiled but then she noticed some blue in his normally blonde hair. Upon closer inspection she noticed that this blue blob was scaley and moving.
"Naruto-kun what's on your head?" she asked fearfully, knowing him it could be anything.
Naruto lifted the summon off of his head a placed him on the counter top. Ayame finally got a good look at the creature and, small as it may be, it was still rather intimidating.
"This is my dragon summon, I call him Seiteki."
Seiteki looked at ayame and they locked eyes. Even though she was a simple civilian and never had shinobi training of any sort, she could see that this tiny creature held devastating power and pontential. It was locked away waiting to be unleashed.
Jiraiya spoke up for the first time "Didn't we come here for food Naruto?"
"oh right. One bowl of miso ramen for me please."
"same for me"
Ayame tore her eyes away from the summon and said "coming right up" and she went to work on making them their meals.
"Naruto, I'm not sure if you should use your summons in the chunnin exams. They could easily kill your competition"
Naruto looked surprised, He had just gotten the coolest summons and now he couldn't use them?
"Come on pervy sage I'm sure that everything will be fine, plus I know not to summon the really big ones, that's just overkill."
Jiraiya sighed, he glanced toward Seiteki and laughed as the dragon had his tounge out due to the smell of ramen.
Then he got an idea "Naruto!" he shouted startling the blonde. "As soon as we're done here we'll get right back to training, I know exactly what you can do to get stronger!"
Their food had arrived and after they finished eating Jiraiya said to Naruto "I need you to wait at the training grounds while I run some errands."
Naruto deadpanned "You're not gonna peep on the hotsprings again are you?"
Jariya scowled "No. Why don't you have any respect for your elders!"
"Because you're a pervert." Naruto said matter a factly.
Jariya walked away mumbling something about being a super pervert.

When we next see Naruto he will be a good deal stronger than he is now, believe it!
