Naruto the 4th Reborn
Chapter 12: The Sage Appears
Its been 3 days since Naruto had taken his rest and now was waiting at his home for his new sensei. He mostly worked on reading taijutsu scrolls and chakra control.
During the night, he would go out with Temari and they would just walk around the village. Naruto thought about asking Temari on a date but he never knew if she liked him like that. His tenant called him a wuss and he just blocked of the connection.
Kakashi said that his new sensei would come around 12 and now it was 1. Needless to say he was getting very tired of sensei's that come late. He was just working on his chakra control until he heard a knock on the door and before the person could knock again Naruto opened it.
His gaze met one of the people who wanted to meet the most. Jiraiya a level 10 seal master. "Um are you my sensei Jiraiya-sama?" he asked politely.
"Oh yea kid im your sensei alright. Now im go-" he was cut off when Naruto replied.
"Jiraiya-sensei please teach me fuinjutsu and taijutsu please I need to work on those the most" Naruto asked in the most polite voice he never even knew he had.
Jiraiya didn't know what to say he was going to teach the blond how to use the Kyuubi's chakra but fuinjutsu might not be so bad.
"Kid I'll teach you that only after you can do the summoning jutsu." The sage said taking the scroll on his back off and unrolling it.
"Your giving me the toad contract!" the blond shouted out in sheer happiness and shock
"Yea, I need someone else to take care of the toads when I go so who better than my new apprentice." He said in a calm tone. Before he was tackled to the ground by his apprentice.
"Thank your Jiraiya-sensei" he said still hugging the man tightly.
"Argh, get off kid I only let girls do this to me" struggling to get the blond of him.
Naruto soon got off Jiraiya. He signed the toad contract and Jiraiya explained that he could only have the toad contract unless under special circumstances. Naruto then started the handsigns for the jutsu.
Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram
"Summoning jutsu" Naruto exclaimed smashing his hand on the ground. In a puff of smoke a small frog appeared close to a toad but not the right one.
"Good first try kid. We will work on this until you can someone a battle ready toad. Your chakra might not be enough so use some of the Kyuubi's chakra" the sage said.
"No, I only use the Kyuubi's chakra when its needed to save a friend, the kyuubi is a nice boost but I don't want to depend on it. Like the saying goes 'don't put all your eggs in one basket'. I am fine with training it I can right now use version 1, one tail of chakra more or less fine." The blond said simply but definitely saying I will not do it. "you don't have to worry about me learning the kyuubi's chakra from you, the Kyuubi is already teaching me but he still wants to escape which I don't blame him" all these words left Jiraiya shocked that the Kyuubi no kitsune was actually teaching his jailer.
"Ok whatever you say kid, now follow me were going to the training grounds" Jiraiya said walking out of the blonds appartment. Naruto soon followed in tow towards wherever Jiraiya was headed.

A waterfall somewhere in Konoha
"Alright this is gonna be our training ground, everyday I want you to come here at 12 and start training im not sure when I will come but just keep training until I come." Jiraiya said now switching his gaze towards the waterfall. "Now for some research" he said chuckling pervertedly
"Did you come here just to do 'research' for your dirty books?" Naruto asked slightly annoyed.
"Oh so you know of my books eh and yes this is valuable research and I must use it to my advantage" Jiraiya said turning his gaze back to the waterfall this time completely ignoring Naruto. "Work on the summoning jutsu"
Naruto followed his sensei's words and started working on summoning. For most of the day it worked like this. Naruto was getting closer and closer to a battle ready toad he did manage to summon a red toad called Gamakichi who he made friends with and spent the rest of the day with Naruto.
In the end the best toad he summoned was a purple medium sized toad but it couldn't fight. "Kid that's enough for today go home and rest its almost 7 so take a break for today" Jiraiya said dismissing the blond.
Naruto soon took Gamakichi too hang out and went to Ichiraku's. "Hey nii-san" Naruto heard as he entered the shop to see Konohamaru his favorite little kid.
"Oh hey Konohamaru, you see this toad, well he is Gamakichi and Gamakichi this is Konohamaru." The blond introduced each other.
"Hey I also call Naruto nii-san so I guess were like brothers together" Gamakichi said chuckling playfully.
"Yea lets all eat ramen together the food of gods" Naruto said placing orders.
The rest of the day Naruto just hanged out with his otoutou's (Younger brothers) and they had much fun together and Naruto enjoyed the companionship of his new friend in Gamakichi. When it was getting late Naruto decided to call it a night and just rested.

The waterfall
"YATAA!" Naruto shouted which startled Jiraiya who almost fell over the cliff they were on.
"Whats up kid?" the sage asked.
"I summoned a toad who can battle see see" he said gesturing towards a orange toad next to him.
"Yes Jiraiya-sama I can battle" the toad said calmly.
"well good job kid, I'll teach you how to do fuinjutsu now and also taijutsu sooo how far are you in fuinjutsu?" the sage asked.
"Well im able to make my own exploding tags that are twice as potent as the normal ones and I have perfect caligraphy but I cant do any complex seals, the seals I really want to do right now are resistance and gravity seals so I can increase my speed and taijutsu but besides that I don't really know much" the blond replied disappointed in his ability.
"That's pretty good if you thought yourself. I'll teach you how to make gravity seals and resistance seals but don't use gravity seals until you reach atleast lvl 6 of resistance seals and until then just wait till lvl 8 to make sure its safe." Jiraiya said sitting on the ground showing the blond what he needed to do and Naruto soon made nearly 200 clones that shocked Jiraiya.
"Kid you can make this many clones? I guess your gonna use them for training right?" the sage asked.
"Yes and half of them are gonna be test subjects for the seals incase something goes wrong." The blond said to which he got a nod.
Naruto soon started getting to work. Jiraiya told him that lvl 1 gravity seals weighs slightly more than a ton. Resistance seals lvl 1 weigh around 10 kilos so I should start with lvl 3 resistance seals once I can make them.
By the end of the day he could make lvl 1 resistance seals but not gravity seals and he would work until he could make lvl 10 resistance seals and lvl 2 gravity seals. Then he would just work on taijutsu as that's what he needed the most.

Somewhere in Konoha
"Ero-sennin where are we going?" a blond asked.
"Stop calling me that and we are going to finish your wind style training." The sage replied.
"You cant mean?" the blond asked shocked at what Jiraiya was suggesting.
"Yes I have someone who can make a waterfall for you with a place to do the exercise. His name is Tenzou and he is a Wood style user and he has the ability to use it because he was an experiment of Orochimaru's" the blond nodded not needing to ask any questions as he was going to finish his wind style training.
"By the way how is your fuinjutsu seals going?"
"Oh I got lvl 15 resistance seals I can make but I can only use lvl 5 and I can make lvl 3 gravity seals and I want to make it to lvl 100 of resistance seals before I move to gravity seals and also that I learned that gravity seals hurt your growth rate and I also started working on my other seals." Jiraiya nodded proud that his apprentice was moving fast but he would never admit that.
"Oh I also summoned Gamabunta" Naruto said with a smirk at how his sensei tensed up.
"Lets just go to the training grounds" Naruto just chuckled at his sensei's antics.

Training Ground number 25
"Hey Tenzou so did you do it?" the sage asked the panting Anbu.
"Yes Jiraiya-sama" he managed to spit out inbetween pants.
"Alright Naruto go train your wind style. I know your done with fire style so just do wind style and I know you want to finish early so just do this for 2 hours then your done."
"Thank you Jiraiya-sensei."

Konoha's hotel district
Naruto was walking throught the hotel district not receiving as many glares since many foreigners were in town for the chunin exams. He was walking this path to meet his favorite foreigner Temari and he was going to hang out with her brother Kankuro aswell.
"Hey Naruto-kun" he heard and turned his gaze towards the form of Temari waving at him and he dashed towards it.
"Hi Temari-chan, you too Kankuro."
"Hi, just so you know I didn't want to come." The puppeteer said.
"So you guys got a place you wanna go?" the blond asked to which Temari nodded and started to lead the way. She also grabbed his hand.
'Jeez what is so special about that kid, why does Temari like him' Kankuro thought not understanding why she liked him.
They soon reached a diner that sold many different kinds of dishes. Obviously Naruto tried to order ramen but he got a punch to his head for that and he had to order sushi.
The too sat on one side of the table while Kankuro sat on the other side. "So how have you guys been training?" the blond asked trying to make some small chat.
"I don't think were gonna tell you our abilites" Kankuro said chuckling. "Temari can you follow me to do something?" the sand genin asked trying to get his sister away from the blond.
"What Kankuro?" she said in a slightly annoyed voice.
"Why are you getting so close to him?" he asked slightly concerned for their plans.
"Don't worry I wont do anything that will change our plans" she said calmly but inside getting torn up.
"Im worried for you, you act a lot more different around him." Kankuro said but his sister didn't response. "Temari I know I don't have the right to pry in your life but if this affects our invasion then I will have to tell father" the blonds face immediately turned to anger at her brother.
"Don't speak of him infront of me!" she exclaimed just below the point that Naruto wouldn't hear them. "Just trust me I wont do anything to disrupt the plans I just want to spend time with him before it ends" she said holding back the tears stinging her eyes. "Now lets go back please" Kankuro obliged to her request not wanting to hurt her anymore.
"So what did you guys talk about?" the blond asked when they arrived to the table
"Oh we just talked about your friend the chubby one and she told me your ok with it" Kankuro replied.
"Yea at first I was really made but I eventually realised theres a story to every person"
Soon the three of them just ate in a comfortable silence and when they were done Naruto just left and bid his farewel.
Kankuro and Temari just went straight to their hotel in silence and Temari just went straight to her room. Kankuro listened in to her room and her sobs and he felt his heart break.
Kankuro entered his own room not wanting to disturb his sister. "Kankuro, where were you. Tell me or I will kill you." Gaara said in a stoic voice.
"Uhh I went to eat nothing big" He said sweating nervously. Gaara didn't respond so he just went to the bed still sweating but calmed down after a while.

Naruto's home
Naruto was waiting at his home preparing to sleep before he did sleep he went to his mind and wanted to train with Kurama to get 2 tails of version 1 cloak ready to use.
"Hey Naruto"
'Kurama help me please, I got 1 tail down but I need 2 tails now.' The blond asked in a pleading tone.
"Sure thing kit, now just try to pull 2 tails of my chakra"
Naruto did as told and he got 2 tails behind him. "I c-cant control it im gonna go out of control" he spitted out
"Just keep maintaining it for as long as possible"
Naruto could only hold on for 2 minutes until it went away and he dropped to the ground exhausted. 'why cant I control the chakra even with your blessing'
"One, you have evil thoughts even if you don't realise it. Two, I don't give you full blessing I just let you use my chakra if I really let you, you would have tailed beast mode and could transform into me"
'Urgh why does everything have to be so hard' the blond said to his tenant while jumping back up
"Just keep doing it until for 2 hours then just rest up" The blond did what he was told and he did keep increasing the time he could hold it and he was going for a solid 10 minutes before he started fighting shadow clones using it.
'I wonder if this is kid will be the one who does it, I wish father was alive. If he was alive no wars would happen' the kyuubi thought as he watch his jailer train.
