Chapter 16: Jiraiya
A/N: I know I told I would update within two weeks but I had exams and got swamped. With this chapter, all the holes in the middle of the chapter will be sealed. Hope you like this rewrite.
After Team 7 had gone back home and rested for a day, Kakashi appeared, "Yo!" He greeted with an eye smile.
"Kakashi sensei! What are you doing here?" Naruto asked swallowing his breakfast.
"Oh, I just came to see my cute little genin.: he replied taking a piece of toast.
" Cut the crap, Kakashi," Obito replied
"Ooo, what's gotten you so angry today?" Kakashi asked.
Obito grunted, "I haven't slept for a few days now."
"Why?" Rin asked suddenly flying through the window.
"You know there's a door, right?" Obito grumbled.
Rin grinned sheepishly.
"Well, Sandaime Sama asked me to do a bit of work for him."
Kakashi and Rin nodded in understanding at the emphasized work guessing it had something to do with the incoming invasion.
"Well anyway, I just came to say that Jiraiya is back in town to train you for the Chunin exams."
Naruto's face lit up and he rushed out before anyone could stop him.
"Jiraiya of the Sannin!?" Zabuza asked in shock.
"Yeah, he is his godfather" Obito commented.
Zabuza's eyes widened in shock.
"Remember the time Naruto first met him." Rin chuckled.
Obito and Kakashi laughed as they reminisced the memory.
Haku looked at them with a puzzled expression, "Why, what happened?"
"Oh, let me tell you," Kakashi said.
Flashback
"Where is he? Where's my godson?" Jiraiya screamed as he crashed through Obito"s window.
Obito came out of his room, "Sheesh what's going on?" He asked yawning. He analyzed the man in front of him and stood up straight, "Ji-Jiraiya-Sama."
Jiraiya looked towards Obito, "Obito I told you not to call me 'sama'. Minato was my student, so you can call me sensei too or 'san' but please not sama. It's too formal."
Obito nodded.
"Anyway, where's my godson?" he asked again. "I am glad you adopted him, Homura and Koharu always barred me from doing so along with Danzo. They didn't even let me visit him." he ranted.
"Well, I will get him now, hold on," Obito said and went to wake up Naruto.
Obito came down carrying Naruto to find Kakashi and Rin there too, "From where did you guys come?" he asked.
"We heard Jiraiya-san was on a rampage to see Naruto and Kakashi wanted his books signed too," Rin answered.
Obito nodded and sweatdropped as he saw Jiraiya signing Kakashi's gold edition Icha Icha books."Anyway Naruto this is Jiraiya your godfather."
Naruto stared at Jiraiya before staring at him angrily, "Where were you all this time."
Jiraiya sat crouched down to Naruto's head and stroked his hair, "I did want to but the council didn't let me. Now that Obito adopted you, I can finally visit you!"
Naruto said nothing for a while and then gave a huge smile, "Okay, then I forgive you."
Jiraiya smiled at being accepted so easily, and almost tore up as he reminded him too much of Minato.
"By the way, what's your name?" Naruto asked.
Jiraiya quit his musings and dramatically summoned a toad, "It is I, the gallant toad sage, Jiraiya of the Sannin, loved by all the ladies."
"Basically he's a pervert," Rin commented bitterly.
"So he's a sage AND a pervert," Naruto asked.
Jiraiya nodded enthusiastically.
"I am going to call you Ero-Sennin"
A cloud of gloom fell over Jiraiya while the others snickered.
Jiraiya quickly got over it and smiled too, he would let it slide just this once, after all this was the first time he was meeting his godson, he wanted to spend some time with him.
Flashback end.
"Hahaha," Zabuza laughed, "First he calls me a pacifist and now I hear that he calls Jiraiya of the Sannin, 'Pervy sage,'"
Kakashi laughed and said, "Well now you know that you were lucky not to get a stupid nickname like Jiraiya-San. Heck, he called me scarecrow Oji-san till he was about seven."
"Who is going to teach Sasuke and I Kakashi sensei?" Haku asked.
"Oh well I will be teaching Sasuke personally and I have told Ebisu, an elite Jounin, to overlook your training. You can join me and Sasuke in training if you want too, but I think Zabuza will be able to fix your problems."
Haku nodded.
"Ok then, now that that's decided, Sasuke comes with me and pack a bad for a month. Haku, I will send Ebisu here, so wait for him."
Haku nodded as Sasuke left to pack his bag.
At the hot springs.
Naruto sat on a tree as he saw Jiraiya giggling perversely as he peeked into the hot springs. He sighed as he thought of a way to teach Jiraiya a lesson. After a while a huge smile grew across his face, he transformed into a girl and went up to Jiraiya before screaming, "HELP HELP, THERE'S A PERVERT HERE PEEKING!" Jiraiya turned in horror to meet Naruto who gave him a smile before disappearing in smoke.
Jiraiya's mouth opened wide as he took in the fact that he was tricked by a shadow clone. He turned to do a shunshin and get away but couldn't complete it as he was tapped on his shoulder. He turned and flinched as he felt a wave of monstrous killer intent wash over him from all the women in the hot springs.
"Ladies, please, I can explain," he pleaded. Jiraiya's begging fell on deaf ears as the women thrashed the poor sannin.
It was about two hours later that Jiraiya showed up at training ground 32 where Naruto had been waiting for him. "You brat! Do you know what you did, I was lucky to escape with my life after your stunt."
Naruto shrugged, "Maybe you shouldn't have been peeking in the first place."
Jiraiya fumed, "I say this only because you are my godson, 'run!'"
Naruto didn't have to be told twice as he promptly activated a Hiraishin seal to near Ichiraku. He let out a yelp as he saw Jiraiya already there. He turned to activate another seal but Jiraiya caught him and both of them were transported back to the training ground. Realization dawned upon Naruto as he saw the two Jiraiya's, "Shadow clones," he muttered.
Jiraiya smirked, "You didn't think you are the only one who can do it, did you?"
Naruto grimaces, "Fine, I accept my fate. But know this, Mom's gonna kick your ass in the afterlife twice as hard for this."
Jiraiya knew he was right and released him choosing the better option for his health in the afterlife.
Naruto smirked at successfully being able to blackmail Jiraiya.
"But don't think I won't have my revenge on you brat!"
Naruto gulped knowing Jiraiya could call in all sorts of weird favors and embarrass him.
"By the way, I heard you ran into the snake bastard, care to clarify the rumors I have been hearing?"
Naruto nodded a serious expression on his face and proceeded to narrate how they had held off Orochimaru and gotten rid of the cursed seal after defeating the sound team who had been sent to provoke Sasuke to use his cursed seal. "I got rid of Anko's cursed seal too, and Haku uncovered that Kabuto is probably a spy."
Jiraiya heard his tale before giving him a proud smile, "Well you have surpassed even me in sealing, your parents would have been proud!"
Naruto beamed, "And what about Kabuto?"
"Well you were right, he was a spy and a damn good one at that to have stayed right under our noses. We have already captured him right when Hayate had confronted him after he saw him do some... treacherous things." Jiraiya said.
"Well, what did he..." Naruto started but couldn't finish as Jiraiya held up a hand, "You want to know what information he gave."
Naruto nodded.
"Sorry but I can't tell you, it's extremely secret. But I will tell you this be on your guard during the finals. Now let's get started with your training."
Naruto wanted to inquire more but knew Jiraiya wouldn't tell him so he simply nodded, "What are you gonna teach me?"
Jiraiya smirked and bit into his hand drawing a bit of blood before going through a couple of hand seals and slammed his palm into the ground. Poof! The smoke dispersed and a man-sized toad appeared, "I'm going to reach you to summon toads."
Naruto's eyes lit up, "Cool!"
Jiraiya laughed, "Hold your horses, first you have to sign this contract." He said as the summoned toad handed him the scroll, "Minato was the last one to sign this, sign with your blood under his name."
Naruto nodded and but his thumb to draw out some blood and then signed the scroll.
"I will notify the other toads that we have a new summoner." the toad said and then disappeared.
"Ok brat start summoning!"
"Before that, I had a question,"
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I was wondering if I can also summon the cat summoning scroll. Since I have Rinnegan I can summon other animals too." Naruto said.
"Hmmm, good point," Jiraiya said, "It depends on whether the toads have any problems with the cat summons or vice versa, they probably won't since both are loyal Konoha summoning clans and aren't mortal enemies. But still, I would have to ask Fukasaku-sama."
"What do you mean by mortal enemies and who is Fukasaku?"
"Fukasaku is one of the toad elders and thankfully a good one, not like those stuffy pricks who call themselves Konoha's elders." Jiraiya said, "And as for your inquiry about what mortal enemies mean, think about it like this, snakes eat toads so they are mortal enemies. Slugs also don't like toads that much but since Tsunade has the slug contract, the toads and slugs have a mutual respect, understood brat?"
Naruto nodded.
"Then try to summon."
Naruto made a face at Jiraiya and performed the hand seals he saw Jiraiya make before slamming his hand to the ground, a huge cloud of smoke appeared. As the smoke dispersed, it revealed a huge blue toad.
"Gamaken!" Jiraiya exclaimed as he stared at the huge towering toad, shocked that Naruto was able to summon one of the three great toads on his first try.
The huge toad looked down at Jiraiya, "I see no battle Jiraiya, why have you summoned me?"
Jiraiya regained his composure before speaking, "Oh, I didn't summon you, Naruto did. He's on your head, you know."
Gamaken rolled his eyes above to see Naruto standing, "Uhm, hey." Naruto said hesitantly.
Gamaken gave him a calculating look, "Hmm, Gamakuro notified us only a few minutes back, that we have a new toad summoner, which means you have summoned me on your first try. That is no mild achievement. I congratulate you and wish to be your familiar."
"Familiar?" Naruto asked questioningly.
"It means he will show up most of the time when you summon, it is a great respect to be a familiar and that too of Gamaken, one of the three battle toads."
"Ohh. Okay then I would like to be your familiar," Naruto said enthusiastically.
"Very well, I shall go now then," Gamaken said before disappearing.
"What now then?" Naruto asked.
"Now, you will be summoning Gamabunta, the boss toad. You just have to use a bit more Chakra then the amount used for Gamabunta." Jiraiya said.
"But I don't have that much Chakra left," Naruto whined.
"That brings me to the other thing I was planning on training you for. You will be accessing the Kyuubi's chakra."
Naruto stiffened, "But I don't want to, the Chakra feels so angry and chaotic."
"I know, but it will be a useful asset, so I want you to utilize at least a bit of the chakra." Jiraiya retorted.
"Fine," Naruto grumbled, "What do I have to do?"
"Well, you would have to meditate..."
"NO!" Naruto yelled before Jiraiya could finish, "I hate meditation. Tou-chan tried to get me to do it,"
"Well, I have a shortcut then, if you are sure..." Jiraiya started.
"Yes! Give me the shortcut."
Jiraiya shrugged, "Fine, but remember, you agreed to this," and then Jiraiya threw Naruto over the edge of the ravine.
"ERO-SENNIN, YOU CRAZY BASTARD!" Naruto yelled as he plummeted towards the ground.
"O shit, O shit what do I do." Naruto panicked inside his mind, he closed his eyes and suddenly he saw a big cage in front of him with the word seal. Two huge, malevolent red eyes stared at him menacingly from behind the bars, "So my jailor has come."
"The Kyuubi," Naruto stated in a quavering voice.
"I am impressed, not many would stand before me without shaking in fear, least of all a puny brat like you."
A tick grew on Naruto's head, "Hey! I am not puny!"
The Kyuubi snorted, "Sure. I will give you the chakra to summon that wretched toad, but you and I will talk later after the Chunin exams are over, we have much to discuss. Now, get out, I want to take a nap!" And with that Naruto was thrown into the real world. Instantly he felt his chakra reserves filling, he smiled and performed the summoning jutsu. There was a poof and Gamabunta appeared.
"What is this wretched place now?" Gamabunta's deep voice called out.
Immediately, Naruto replied, "Oh, sorry, I summoned you here. Stupid ero-sennin threw me down here."
Gamabunta narrowed his eyes at Naruto, "If Gamaken had not told me that he had become your familiar, I would not take your word. For now, I will help you get out of here. I have to have a word with that perverted brat!" With that, Gamabunta leaped out of the ravine and almost squashed Jiraiya who was waiting to save Naruto just in case.
Gamabunta saw Jiraiya below his feet and immediately squashed him with his tongue, "Stupid pervert," he muttered. "Now then brat, you must be Naruto, Minato's son."
Naruto nodded.
"Hmmph, you are nothing like him, you remind me of Kushina instead."
Naruto grinned sheepishly.
"Now then, let me explain summoning to you, and Jiraiya shut up, I don't want to talk to you," Gamabunta said as he saw Jiraiya about to speak up. "Now then, gaki, since Gamaken is your familiar, he will appear most of the time when you summon. If you need to summon me, just put in more chakra then when you summon Gamaken. However, do not underestimate Gamaken, he is one of the three battle toads for a reason, so don't summon me for a puny enemy, understood?"
Naruto nodded.
"Ok then, I am going now, you woke me up in the middle of my sleep." Gamabunta grunted, "And Jiraiya!"
Jiraiya perked up.
"I am going to feed you an entire bowl of slugs if you summon me without Sake as repayment for having the kid summon me in a ravine."
Jiraiya nodded rapidly.
Gamabunta disappeared in a poof and Jiraiya let out a sigh, "I am safe."
Naruto snickered, "Well, then what are you going to teach me next, Ero-sennin."
"I am letting you off for today, but from tomorrow, I am teaching how to utilize at least a bit of the Rinnegan and I will probably teach you a few more jutsus and teach you some frog Kata."
Naruto nodded, "Ok, coming home with me now?"
"Sure."
A/N: And done with this chapter, it was so antagonizing to write cause it's so boring and I was rewriting it. Anyway, with this chapter, the holes in the chapter are filled. Hopefully, I will be able to update twice within 10th of August.
Please review!
