Chapter 14: Kitsune's Training

Jiraiya took Naruto for some training on the advice of the yondaime, after informing him of the events of Akatsuki, seeing this as the only option to better prepare Naruto for their arrival, Jiraiya took Naruto to the lodging town outside the village, Naruto and Jiraiya stopped outside the town to train

Jiraiya decided to teach Naruto the rasengan, Naruto seem uninterested at first but knowing it was a technique his father developed, Naruto decided to learn it.

To begin learning the technique, Jiraiya told Naruto must pop a water-filled balloon held in the palm of his hand by spinning the water with just his chakra

Soon after his training begins, Naruto finds himself making good progress. Naruto decides he'll master the jutsu within 2 weeks. Jiraiya knew straight away the likelihood that Naruto will live up to this promise, explaining that the technique's creator, the Yondaime, took three years to develop the Rasengan in its current form. Seeing how strong his godson already was he will probably master this technique just as easily

He then goes on to explain that popping the balloon is only one of three steps, and leaves Naruto to resume his training. After failed attempts Naruto soon discovers that popping the balloon is easier if he uses both of his hands and progresses to the second step. The second stage requires the bursting of a rubber ball. Naruto trains for days and manages to burst the ball but with great struggle and pain

As the second step involves Naruto popping a rubber ball, something that will require much more power. Next Naruto started combining the spinning and the power developed in the previous steps, something that Jiraiya cannot help him with. As he attempts to do both,

Over 12 days Naruto had achieved each stage of the rasengan but there something was wrong as he attempted to perform the completed jutsu it was unstable it keeps blowing up sending Naruto flying an few times but Naruto was determined to achieve the rasengan

Naruto, after his latest attempt, sat up and he analyzed the situation and suddenly saw the answer to the problem, he call up an Kage bushin, with this creates a unique method using the shadow clone to help divide the roles of rotating the chakra and is able to pull together all the strength he has left to make one final attempt with his right hand, creating a shadow clone and pulling off an complete rasengan. Jiraiya watched from behind a tree as he saw Naruto perform the rasengan flawlessly

Naruto passed out after mastering the new jutsu. Jiraiya catches him as he fell and smiled at how quickly Naruto had progressed in the training, reminding him of his time training with Minato. He carried Naruto back to the town to rest at the local inn

Meanwhile back at Konoha hospital

The sandaime was getting worst as his illness was progressing, Tsunade did all she could using all her knowledge of medical ninjutsu, Minato and Shizune was present in his hospital room

"Sarutobi-sensei, I done all I can but it seem your chakra network may shut down for good, I think it would be good for you to stand down as Hokage"

The sandaime sighed "This will cause a lot of problems for the village but if the need arrives I will take it into consideration"

"Why doesn't Minato-sama take over like before" asked Shizune

Minato declined the offer "I can't take up the title Shizune because when I was resurrected by Orochimaru I don't have that much time plus everyone knows I'm dead, it would be best if it stay that way"

"But the village needs an hokage as soon as possible" replied Shizune

"If I need to step down as Hokage; I want you to take over Tsunade next to Jiraiya you are the next likely candidate"

"I understand Sarutobi-sensei" replied Tsunade

Back to Naruto

Naruto woke up in the local inn room "Where am I? He asked himself. He looked around the room, the sun was shining into the room and he could tell it was near midday. He tried to get out of bed and but he fell down with a wince. He was aching all over.

Jiraiya greeted his godson "Your awake now Naruto" as he sat in the corner.

"What happened?" asked Naruto

"You passed out from your training" Jiraiya secretly smiled at his godson Naruto had mastered the rasengan like he promised

"We should head back to the village pretty soon Naruto, but for now I want you to rest okay because I want to talk to you later"

Naruto nodded as he lay back down and stared out the window looking at the sky with birds and clouds and fell asleep.

Bathhouse

Naruto and Jiraiya was alone in the bathhouse, Naruto seem confused having an conversation in a hot spring but Jiraiya was being serious for once

"Naruto, you do know why I am training you"

Naruto nodded "Akatsuki is after me, but why I do not know"

"Have you experienced a surge in chakra at any given time? Naruto"

Naruto thought back to the time he fought Orochimaru in the forest of death he didn't remember much of that time.

"There were one time but I don't remember much of it, why do you ask"

"Naruto, do you know anything about the Kyuubi"

Naruto nodded "It was stopped by the fourth Hokage"

"This might come as a shock to you Naruto but it was sealed inside of you and that what Akatsuki is after"

Naruto nodded as he was not experienced enough to express himself fully but it explained everything the various cold glares he got from members of ANBU when he was young, after 6 years of intense training in ANBU he finally made captain and was respected and feared as the Kitsune of Konoha.

Jiraiya sighed as Naruto had to deal with this on his own, until he heard girls voices on the other side of the bath, Jiraiya couldn't resist peeking over the wall, Naruto sweat dropped

"What are you doing Jiraiya-sama" as Naruto looked at him awkwardly

"I'm collecting precious research material! For my novel" replied Jiraiya as he began drilling a hole through the barrier between the two baths

"You know peeking isn't proper, aren't writers supposes to imagine their material in their minds" Naruto debated

"I'm going for realism for my material" Jiraiya shouted, he saw three young girls having a bath through the hole.

Jiraiya started to giggle as the girls was having fun bathing

The girls overheard Jiraiya then ran away, Jiraiya yelled in disappointment "The beautiful ladies are gone" Naruto sweat dropped again leaving the hot spring leaving Jiraiya sulking in his displeasure of the girls that ran away, when Naruto decide to use his Oiroke No Jutsu to teach Jiraiya a lesson.

Jiraiya stared through the hole when he heard a female voice behind him. "Jiraiya-sama"

Jiraiya turned to find a beautiful blond haired girl standing behind him.

"Who are you!"

"Jiraiya-sama, I been waiting for you!" the figure answered

"Really you're been waiting for me!" Jiraiya smiled as he wanted to hug the mysterious figure, he edges closer and closer "This is the best day of my life" yelled Jiraiya causing an exaggerated nosebleed.

A slap came hammering towards Jiraiya's face knocking him facedown, "NOOOOO!" the blonde figure turned back into Naruto

"Well played" Jiraiya replied as he lay face down in the hot spring, few moments later, he got up asking Naruto "What happened, where the cute girl went to?"

"What cute girl, there only me and you!"

"I must have been dreaming?"

"The Oiroke No Jutsu" thought Naruto hiding his embarrassment in the technique turning into a beautiful woman, typically with seductive posture. Naruto had used this technique to distract many A-D ranked targets in the bingo book.

Naruto sighed as the Oiroke No Jutsu (Sexy Technique) was his shame not even his ANBU teammates knew about this technique, it was an effective technique he created and used for assassination of many wanted criminals.
