Chapter 52
The Toad Contract
Here he was… just as he promised. Naruto and Jiraiya were in training ground 7 with Shoko and Aria standing off to the side. Iris and Chaos were also there under the watchful eye of Aria. The twins were still grounded but earlier that morning they had a heartfelt conversation with their father were he properly forgave them for what they had did. It was a touching scene and one neither Naruto nor the twins would ever forget. So, while they were forgiven and things were back to normal between the twins and their father, Naruto still decided to keep them grounded to show them he wasn't going back on his word. He was truly trying to set an example for them.
"So, let's get started then. Tell me exactly what you can do." Jiraiya asked as he sat down on a stone sticking out of the ground. He had Naruto sitting patiently in front of him ready to start his training. "I can do quite a lot actually… but with this suppression seal placed on my stomach I can't really do much." Naruto admitted while patting his stomach in emphasis. "I see… well then we'll just have to get rid of that pesky thing." Jiraiya insisted as he got up from his rock. "I want to have a quick sparring match with you so that I can gauge your level of strength, so let's get rid of that seal." Jiraiya explained as he motioned for Naruto to lift his shirt up.
Jiraiya watched as Naruto channeled chakra throughout his body which caused his 8-trigram seal to appear on his stomach. The old sage immediately saw what the problem was when extra simples appeared around the seal. "Now this won't do… this won't do at all." Jiraiya chuckled with a shake of his head. He outstretched his hand and channeled chakra to the tips of his five fingers causing purple flames with glowing kanji to ignite into existence. "This will sting a bit, so brace yourself. Fūinjutsu: Five-Pronged Seal Release!" Jiraiya slammed his hand into Naruto's stomach completely shattering the original imbalanced seal Orochimaru placed on him.
The effect was immediate and everyone felt it. A massive surge of chakra exploded from Naruto's body as all of his suppressed energy that was being bottlenecked within his chakra circulatory system for the last week was released in one massive surge. The pressure that was being created within his body because of the fact there was a cap on his system while his body was still producing chakra caused this potent overflow. Jiraiya who was closest to Naruto was blown off his feet in total surprise while Shoko who was standing a few yards away braced herself and managed to stay grounded. The entire area around Naruto became whitewashed as a thick layer of frost built up along the grass and trees in the training ground. A whirlwind of frigid air chilled everyone to their bones as it tore through the area creating an updraft that would go on to mix with the immense heat being produced by Iris. Black clouds rolled into the area above the training grounds that dumped copious amounts of snow onto everyone due to the rapid change in weather caused by the unstable temperatures. It was a phenomenon no ordinary person could say they've ever witnessed before.
"What the hell!?" Jiraiya wasn't prepared for this outcome. He wasn't expecting such a potent backlash from his new student. If the energy coming from Naruto was incredible, then the combined energy spiking from Iris and Chaos was unlike anything the experienced shinobi have ever felt before. Aria reflexively threw up a barrier that immediately fractured against the immense outpour of energy the twins were displaying. Their eyes had transitioned over to their true forms as they looked themselves over in wonder.
A beautiful canvas of pure white fire was surrounding Iris while her body itself was engulfed in a radiant gold fire that caused the surrounding plants, grass, and trees to grow exponentially. Gale force winds were pushing into everyone's faces as Iris's powers raged out of control. As for Chaos… her wings involuntarily sprouted behind her back and flared outwards in a magnificent display. It wasn't something you could see on first glance but her wings actually grew at least two to three inches in overall size and volume. The unknown steel like material that her wings were made out of was much more reflective and glossy in appearance and the purple coloring of it was much more vibrant. Chaos let out her patented giggle as several trees came crashing down around them due to her powers to cause natural disasters and bad luck suddenly taking a massive spike with her powers being returned to her.
It took a minute, but the unprecedented power surge from the Uzumaki family died down once the access energy finally ran its course. "Holy crap…" Jiraiya mumbled as he struggled to his feet. He had to shake off a light layer of frost that had built up on his hulking frame due to Naruto's errant powers. The sage blew fire into his hands to warm himself up while channeling a small but focused stream of Fire Nature Chakra throughout his body to raise it back up to comfortable levels. "I can't believe the level of power they all share, it's monstrous." The old sage gawked as he looked around him to see the area completely flash frozen with frost covering everything within a thirty-yard radius. The area around Iris was overflowing with vegetation and budding life as the ice couldn't penetrate the area of prosperity.
'This power. Did this happen because my chakra got capped and suppressed?' Naruto's chakra felt far denser than it's ever felt before. In a metaphorical sense, the blonde haired Uzumaki felt heavier, like he would sink to his knees at any minute. "I feel so strong… this is crazy." Naruto said aloud in wonder as he looked his body over while clenching his fist. A light aura of chakra was surrounding his body that started to fade after a few minutes once it ran its course. 'It's just like with Kushina…' Shoko thought with her eyes tearing up. She looked all around her and could see the ice terraforming the landscape around her as well as the clouds up above and the powerful kunoichi couldn't help but feel a deep seeded wave of nostalgia rage throughout her body.
'I never thought I'd ever live to see this again. History truly does repeat itself.' Jiraiya reminisces as he starts to chuckle out loud. "Well damn kid. I didn't know you had this much power trapped inside you. I knew you were holding out on me the other day." Jiraiya boasted with a grin on his face. He likes what he sees before him. He could definitely work with that. "I feel great. All of my power is back." Naruto said with a happy grin. A metaphorical weight was lifted from his shoulders as he felt something in the back of his mind he's been missing for too long. The presence of Iris and Chaos was back and he could feel them as if they were standing right next to him. All was right with the world as far as Naruto was concerned. He's never felt better.
'Those kids… this is something completely unexpected. The power they just unleashed was unlike anything I've ever felt before. Seeing it with my own two eyes now I can make a pretty strong guest as to what Chaos is. I never thought I'd see one but I'm almost positive she's an Angeloid. A machine created by the Fallen Angel's faction, the Grigori. But her sister… I don't know what the hell she is and that worries me. Everything around her just suddenly started to grow and is now overflowing with life. I don't even need to be in Sage Mode to feel the immense amount of natural energy in the atmosphere.' Jiraiya was positive he could ID what Chaos was and that in and of itself shocked him to know she was most likely an Angeloid, but he was still baffled by what Iris could be. It was a mystery that was starting to boggle and irritate him.
"I think it only appropriate to test out this new-found strength of yours. How about a quick little spar?" Jiraiya suggested as he was interested on his own to find out what his new apprentice was capable off. "Right now?" Naruto asked a little startled as he was not expecting Jiraiya to be hyped up. "Yeah, come at me right this instant kid. Go full throttle and give it your best shot." Jiraiya goaded as he gave Naruto the universal gesture of 'come get it.' Shoko herself was a little surprised by Jiraiya's excitement as that wasn't usually his style. "Master… are you sure about this? Naruto's pretty tough." Shoko advised as she's sparred against Naruto hundreds of times over the years. She wanted Jiraiya to be aware that Naruto wasn't an ordinary Genin. Is he a threat to someone of Jiraiya's caliber? No, absolutely not. But he was incredibly talented and experienced and that could take the old sage by surprise.
"Oh, I'm sure little Shoko. This kid got nothing on me. Go full out Naruto. Let me see what you can really do now." Jiraiya taunted as he grinned at Naruto who for a reason he couldn't explain felt invigorated and compelled to meet the old man's challenge. "Ok, you asked for it then." Naruto didn't understand this feeling of excitement that was flowing through his body right now but he was going to take full advantage of it.
"Accel Turn!" Naruto's chakra spiked to Jōnin levels as he cracked the ice underneath his feet. He rocketed off from his still position with Jiraiya's eyes widening in surprise as he never got to fully observe this technique up close when Naruto used it to catch up with him the other day. 'Ice Style: Frost Touch Jutsu!' Naruto was going for subtly as he built up the chakra into his fist for his inevitable clash with Jiraiya. The Sage caught Naruto's strong punch with a single hand effortless while hiding his smile at Naruto's finest. Jiraiya immediately noticed his hand starting to turn cold and seeing the frost building up on his hand left him with a grin plastered across his face as he quickly threw Naruto away from him.
'I've heard from Shoko that his mastery over his Ice Style is incredible and that it is his most versatile asset. I can now see why she would say that.' Jiraiya noted as he wasn't given any time to rest by Naruto who still had gallons of chakra to burn. Tearing the ground up on purpose to mask his subtler movements Naruto dashed back in at Jiraiya ready for more combat. "Ice Style: Ice-Make Jutsu!" His ever-faithful twin wakizashi appeared in his hands as he clashed with Jiraiya who was using the armored plating on his hand guards to deflect all of Naruto's masterful swings.
Naruto went low as he attempted to take Jiraiya's legs out from under him but the old shinobi with some fancy footwork managed to dodge the quick strikes and move himself back into a fighting position. Jiraiya shattered Naruto's swords with two simultaneous lightning fast palm strikes that even with Naruto's enhanced reaction speed couldn't perceive. Getting his bearings Naruto threw up an ice mirror when Jiraiya lunged in for a third palm strike. The brief second that Jiraiya lost visual eye contact with Naruto due to the mirror appearing in his face was all the time the Uzumaki needed as he replenished his Accel Turn for another run.
"Ice Style: Ice Ground Spears Jutsu!" Naruto was quick as he slammed his foot into the ground unleashing a dense trail of large icicle shards that would have skewered Jiraiya alive if he were an ordinary ninja. The sage was ready for this as he effortlessly dodged out of the way of what turned into a large wall of ice. He walked straight into Naruto's follow up attack.
Clones.
Eight clones swarmed Jiraiya who began demonstrating a masterful display of Taijutsu that outclassed anything Naruto's ever seen before. It was truly a spectacle to see as all of Naruto's clones had either their pair of swords or quarter staffs in hand and Jiraiya was still dominating the entire confrontation between them. Naruto knew that he needed a maneuver to break up the monotony of the fighting going on in front of him as he wasn't getting anywhere trying to engage Jiraiya in Taijutsu. Even with numbers it wasn't working so he would move on to the next best thing.
"Detonate." At least three of the clones surrounding Jiraiya exploded into large fireballs trapping the Toad Sage in the epicenter of the blast. The other 5 clones surrounded the perimeter of the area ready to attack at a moment's notice. When the dust settled Naruto and his clones were surprised to see Jiraiya's entire body covered by his long mane of white hair. He looked like a giant spike ball. "Ninja Art: Needle Jizō." Shoko's raised an eyebrow in mild surprise as she didn't think Naruto would get Jiraiya to start using ninjutsu. Her gaze of curiosity turned to pride as she turned her attention to Naruto who was tensing to make his next move. Iris and Chaos on the other hand were enamored by the sparring match going on in front of them as their heads swiveled back and forth with each movement that the two combatants made.
"You've done well so far kid but let's take this to its finale." Jiraiya announced from within his defensive shell. "Right." Naruto's clones all slammed their hands into the ground simultaneously. "Ice Style: Ice Prison Jutsu!" A long trail of ice rushed across the ground from all of the clones right to where Jiraiya was erupting into a large glacier of ice with the old sage trapped in the center. "Is it over?" Aria questioned while holding onto the girls. While short, this sparring match was suspenseful. "Far from it." Shoko said with a smile.
Jiraiya flared his chakra. That's all he had to do. The ground in the training field started to shake as Jiraiya unleashed just a small portion of his monstrous chakra. This amount was nothing to him as the ice entrapping him immediately started to crack and break. Never before has Naruto seen something quite like this as his eyes widened in shock. He felt like he was about to sink to his knees with just how dense Jiraiya's chakra was. 'Incredible.' Naruto simply thought as he was at a loss for words.
Jiraiya's power completely shattered Naruto's ice prison with no effort at all sending ice chunks flying everywhere that smashed into Naruto's remaining clones causing them to dispel. "I'm not out of this yet! Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Over a hundred shadow clones phased into existence as they all started to rush the Sannin who had a giddy expression on his face. "That's quite impressive, but it won't be enough. Ninja Art: Art of the Raging Lion's Mane!" Jiraiya's already long hair extended to ridiculous levels as he used it like a whip to start decimating the army of clones coming his way. To Naruto's credit his clones were not just simply charging in. They were all attempting different maneuvers and strategies to get the upper hand against the experienced Shinobi but nothing they could come up with within the moments of their existence would be enough.
As for Jiraiya he was showing off as he started to split his hair apart into multiple whips that shaped themselves into the head of lions. They tore through all of Naruto's clones with ease and the Uzumaki Genin could do nothing about it. Within seconds all of Naruto's clones were gone and only the original remained as he saw Jiraiya retract his hair back to its original shape. "Not too shabby huh?" Jiraiya boasted while Naruto felt a bead of sweat go down his face. He couldn't lie to himself. That technique was highly impressive. "Yeah… I'd say so." Naruto mumbled as he tensed. "You're still holding back a little bit, so give me what you've got left kid. This demonstration is for me to see everything you're capable of." Jiraiya explained as he watched Naruto nod his head in understanding.
"Eva, you ready?" Naruto said as he clapped his hands together. "Born ready!" The two partners synced up as a massive surge of chakra and Yōki poured its way out of Naruto's body. It felt so good to be able to do this again after having their powers sealed. "Yōjutsu: Water Celebration!" Eva was ready in a heartbeat as she summoned a blue and white themed magic circle that amplified the power of her signature technique. Naruto wasn't idle either as he sped through a chain of hand signs while infusing his Yōki rich chakra into the attack. "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough Jutsu!" The partners combined their attacks together using Eva's Magic Circle as the focal point to make it work and the effect was immediate. A massive torrent of water enhanced by Naruto's wind tore through the field as Jiraiya's eyebrows raised up in surprise.
"Oh boy. I might actually have to use a stronger technique to stop this. Fire Style: Flame Bomb Jutsu!" Jiraiya poured a relatively small percentage of chakra into the attack as a large fire ball spewed forth from his mouth that was dark orange in color as everyone could feel the heat coming from the large flames. Iris raised an eyebrow at this as her bright blue eyes showed how impressed she was. Naruto felt confident in his attack as he was sure it would be able to overpower Jiraiya's attack but he became shell shocked when Jiraiya's fireball actually managed to break through his own attack and overpower it.
A massive billowing cloud of steam tore through the clearing that obscured the view of everyone present. The heat coming off of the steam was staggering as Aria started to sweat a little. Shoko had an uncharacteristically serious expression on her face as she was focusing entirely on the match before her. Her eyes were darting back and forth as she was looking for things only her experienced eyes could see. She could tell the match was soon ending. She could also sense Naruto's chakra reserves and he spent quite a lot of energy in such a short amount of time. Knowing how her partner thinks he was going to capitalize on the steam and launch a last-ditch attack. It was a spar after all so there was no need to prolong it for too much longer.
Shoko's prediction proved to be correct as dozens of ice kunai and shuriken flew out of the steam towards Jiraiya who quickly summoned a Toad who was dressed in battle armor. All of Naruto's kunai bounced off of the toad's tough armor without laying a scratch on the material as Jiraiya watched Naruto charge out of the steam with his Accel Cloak blazing a trail behind him. His twin swords were in hand as he flew across the ground at staggering speeds to close the gap between him and Jiraiya.
"I've got you now kid." Jiraiya declared as he shot off several large flame balls the size of large stones directly into Naruto's path. "I'm not done yet! Kenjutsu: Arctic Blade Dance!" Naruto cut an intricate path of deviation through Jiraiya's assault, he wasn't missing a beat until the old sage decided to switch up his pattern of attack. Now coming directly at Naruto was four fireballs that he wouldn't be able to dodge at all. All of his avenues were cut off unless he could rapidly change his trajectory in an abrupt manner. He had too much forward momentum going for him with his cloak amplifying this and he wouldn't be able to destroy all four fireballs at the same time since he couldn't build up enough chakra for an appropriate attack.
A Shadow Clone.
The thought came to Naruto's mind in an instant as he would use the clone to slingshot throw him out of the path of the fireballs while it took the hit. A sound plan and one he was going to put into action as making a shadow clone was incredibly easy for him. The difference came in when he tried to create the clone. Instead of the signature sign of a shadow clone popping into existence with a cloud of smoke, Naruto's cloak morphed and split off to form a clone that was a translucent blue in color. Naruto noticed an immediate dip in his overall speed as the clone shot off at surprising speed and obliterated Jiraiya's attacks with a swing of its fake swords. The clone dispelled itself with a dispersion of kinetic energy that blew the dust around it away.
'Holy crap! It happened again. This happened when I was fighting Orochimaru too… I'll worry about that later. I don't have much energy left and that weird clone cut more of it down so I've got to make this last one count.' Naruto noted as he was yet again heavily surprised by the bizarre clone he conjured up when under the influence of his Accel Turn. "Kenjutsu: Accelerated Decapitation!" Naruto used up the vast remainder of his chakra to disappeared from his spot in a violent burst of speed. He came in at blistering speeds as he tried to take Jiraiya's head clean off. The sage would admit the attack was fast but he's seen moves and techniques that were far faster.
Ducking under the mighty swing with a reaction speed far faster than what Naruto thought the old sage was capable of Jiraiya grinned as Naruto left himself completely exposed and out of position. Worst yet he was in midair and couldn't dodge any follow up attack. "Get him Gama!" Jiraiya coached as the toad he was standing on top of shot it's tongue out at blistering speeds and wrapped it around Naruto's waist like a whip. It was so fast even Naruto with his dwindling enhanced reflexes couldn't see it.
The toad's tongue reeled Naruto back in with a lot of torque which Naruto couldn't escape from. 'I better make the most of this!' Naruto panicked as he twisted himself around far enough in the embrace of the toad's strong tongue to have a shot at Jiraiya. "Accel Punch!" Naruto let his fist fly with the last ounces of his chakra cloak leaving his entire body to focus around the center of his fist as Jiraiya grinned his infectious grin and caught Naruto's powerful punch effortlessly. A massive gust of wind and kinetic energy blew past Jiraiya's face and disturbed the trees behind him but the old sage never budged an inch.
"Damn kid. You've got guts and talent." Jiraiya praised with a look of pride on his face as he nodded at Naruto in respect. The fight was over now and the two combatants were back over with the others reviewing the fight. It took them nearly fifty minutes to get through the entire fight while Naruto explained to Jiraiya all of his abilities and what he could do with them. To Naruto's surprise the conversation got very interesting as Jiraiya had a lot to say and many interesting spouts of wisdom to impart that allowed Naruto to catch a glimpse at the man who is hailed as one of the Legendary Sannin.
"Ok, so now that we have a great understanding on your abilities we can move on to what I'm going to be teaching you since you're my new apprentice." Jiraiya dictated as he grabbed the scroll that was on his back. Naruto felt a certain amount of giddiness enter his system that took him by surprise. Not all of that belonged to him and it took him a few seconds to realize that Chaos's emotions were flaring. He almost forgot that with his connection to his daughters and Eva restored he can sense their emotions and communicate with them through short range telepathy.
"Now before I explain what this is to you I feel like I should clear the air between us." Jiraiya announced as his facial expression changed to be dead serious. Naruto straightened up at this as a pit formed in his stomach. "Naruto, I know you're the Jinchūriki Host to the Nine Tailed Fox." Jiraiya bluntly stated which caused Naruto's breath to hitch in his throat. "Before you react I just want you to know I hold no ill will or prejudiced views towards you for being a Jinchūriki. I'm a seal master kid. I know the difference between a kunai and the scroll it's sealed inside of." Jiraiya said as he held his hand out to stop Naruto from reacting.
"I don't know what to say…" Naruto was rendered speechless as Jiraiya completely took the wind out of his sails. "Don't say anything. You will find that not everyone in the world will hold any resentment towards you for your status. It's all about meeting the right people in life. They're out there, you just have to have the guts to go look." Jiraiya said with a small smile as he ruffled Naruto's hair. Naruto blinked slowly as he just simply stared at the old man. He couldn't even remember the last time someone's ruffled his hair in such an affectionate way. It was a foreign feeling that Naruto's completely unfamiliar with.
A small smile that was out of his control crawled onto his face as he once again felt the same inkling as earlier. Naruto could honestly say he was starting to see the true side of Jiraiya. "Thank you, Jiraiya." Naruto said in sincerity as it was rare for Naruto to see someone approach him in such a manner and just flat out accept him for who he was and not for what he holds. Shoko who was off to the side cracked a tearful smile as she turned her head away for a quick moment to recompose herself. That one scene made her happier than she's ever felt in a long time.
"Now the use of your Tailed Beast Chakra will be essential in the future. It may even be important for the technique I'm about to teach you." Jiraiya explained as he unrolled the scroll that was attached to his back. A few names were written down on it in the front section and Naruto's eyebrows raised up to his hairline. "That name… that's the name of the Fourth Hokage. Minato Namikaze." Naruto mumbled in reverence as he looked at the signature signed in blood on the parchment paper used in the scroll. Jiraiya shot Shoko a quick look that no one was able to see as he turned to look back at Naruto. Shoko who was just now recomposing herself bit her bottom lip as she shifted in her place. She placed a hand discreetly over her heart.
"This is the Mt. Myōboku Toad Clan Summoning Contract. If you sign your name in this scroll with your blood then you will enter into a blood contract with the Toad Clan that will allow you to summon any toad to your side to aid you in battle. They are one of the three summoning contracts apart of the Three-Way Deadlock combo. They are incredibly powerful and versatile in nature." Jiraiya explained with pride dripping from every word he spoke. He was proud to be the current holder of the Toad Contract.
"I want you to be the next holder of the Toad Contract." Jiraiya offered as Naruto's eyes lit up in surprise. "Really…?" Naruto was speechless. Naruto wasn't naïve. He understood how much of an honor it was to have a Summoning Contract, especially when it comes from a famous shinobi. "Yeah, sign your name in blood with the hand you want to summon with." Jiraiya instructed while carefully watching the hidden excitement swimming in Naruto's eyes. He truly looked like a 12-year-old kid in this instance. It was rare to have Naruto demonstrate his more childish innocent side since raising Iris and Chaos has forced him to mature far faster than he would have naturally. Being forced to be in the role of a parent for so long had changed Naruto's personality.
Naruto was more excited than he would care to admit. Biting his thumb enough to draw blood Naruto pressed his fingers together to spread the blood to each digit. Tracing his full name in blood Naruto then pressed his five fingers at the bottom of the paper with a sense of accomplishment accompanying him. "Here are the hand signs." Jiraiya demonstrated as he showed which hand signs to make. Committing the demonstration to memory Naruto repeated the hand signs while channeling his chakra into the palm of his hand.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto shouted as a sealing array spawned underneath his hand. A poof of smoke erupted from the point of origin beneath his hand and once it cleared Naruto and everyone else was stunned to see a small tadpole flopping on the ground helplessly. "What…?" Naruto was barely able to form words as Chaos exploded into laughter in the background. Iris's lower lip was trembling as she would admit to herself that what just happened was hilarious. She was trying to school her facial features as she was not trying to get in more trouble with her father but it would be difficult.
"This is going to take a while." Jiraiya thought with the blandest and most disappointed face possible.
Thirty minutes would elapse with Naruto stubbornly trying and failing to produce a successful summon. "You had an alternative motive in mind for teaching him this technique right master?" Shoko asked as she and Jiraiya stepped back to discuss Naruto's lack of progress. "Yes, you'd think his problem would be because he has too much chakra and not enough control but that's not the case." Jiraiya noted as he watched Shoko turn to him in curiosity. Seeing that he had her attention the sage elaborated further. "His chakra control and capacity are decent for his skill level. The problem is that he has far too many conflicting energies inside his body. The summoning Jutsu is a time and space manipulation technique and having so many energies inside his body would screw up the perfect balance he would need." Jiraiya explained properly while sighing. He knew this was going to be very time consuming.
"So that's why you taught him this technique right off the bat?" Shoko inquired as she was familiar with Jiraiya's thought process. She was starting to see where he was going with his intentions. "Precisely, I can't teach him much of anything else unless he learns to separate his different energies and use them independently from one another. Once he does that I can finally teach him seriously." Jiraiya explained himself as he watched Naruto fail yet again. Chaos wasn't helping as she was hyperventilating off to the side with how hard she was laughing. At least Iris was trying to help and cheer her father on but it wasn't doing much.
"By teaching him seriously… you mean techniques like the Rasengan right?" Shoko said with a quick look towards her father figure. Jiraiya's face briefly took on a serious look as he shook his head in affirmation. "Yeah… it is his birthright after all. But that won't be all." Jiraiya stated as he watched Naruto flop to the ground in frustration. It was going to be a very long day.
Entertainment District: Monte Carlo Casino/ Jasmine Dragon Mafia Headquarters
It was late at night and Naruto's day wasn't getting any shorter. He found himself in a meeting with the rest of Section 2 and 4 that he'd rather not be in all things considered. He had a home with a comfortable bed desperately calling his name. Lord Dino was sitting behind his desk with his old grey hair contrasting against the rich and vibrant colorings of his robes. The rest of his office was also very vibrant and grand in coloring but it was an atmosphere that everyone's used too by now.
"That takes care of this week's update on drug rings and their activities. The new one that sprouted up in Tanzaku Quarters has caused some problems within the last few months. But it's nothing that can't be taken care of sir." Aspen stated in his stoic no-nonsense tone. He was reading off of a clipboard that had a neat stack of papers attached to it. Naruto's eyes were sagging in tiredness. He exhausted himself not only in his spar with Jiraiya but also by carelessly wasting his chakra in the Summoning Jutsu all day after that.
"It's been a long time since I've been there. I wonder how the place has changed?" Jose quietly speculated with a small wishful smile on his face. He knew quite a few people from that town. Naruto perked up just a tad bit at hearing of this place as he's never been there before but the name rang a bell. "Lord Dino, if I'm not mistaken don't you own that city?" Naruto questioned as he was trying to recall a specific piece of trivia he learned many years ago when he was still a rookie.
"Why yes little Naruto I do. I own not only the city but the castle and land around it. The city was built by my great-grandfather many years before the founding of the Hidden Village System. My father made a deal with the honored First Hokage, Lord Hashirama. In honor of the business deal done between my father and the First Hokage he fertilized the land around the city and used his famed Wood Style to create a beautiful and dense forest that till this very day surrounds the compound the city is built in." Dino explained which made Naruto feel a bit giddy at the story. He loved to hear interesting stories like that.
"Tanzaku Quarters or Tanzaku Town is known throughout the Land of Fire and other parts of the world as the City of Gambling. It is the largest gambling centralized city in the entire country. It's also home to our Mafia's compound in the Castle's estate." Dino elaborated with a hearty chuckle. He took a sip of the ever-present tea on his desk as he's had an entire lifetime of fond memories in the town he owns. The atmosphere in the room became lighthearted as many of the members started to banter with each other. If Naruto wasn't so tired he'd partake in the festivities but he was drifting off to sleep.
"Lord Dino, I also have some news to share with you." Jean said with his deep and baritone voice. He was still a hard case and straight shooter even after all this time and the friction between him and Naruto hasn't died down much in that time either. "Please, don't keep me waiting Jean." Dino indulged with a nod. "I've received an update from our operatives out in the field that they lost track of Kabuto Yakushi. They also lost track of several Sand Ninja including Baki. What would you like us to do sir?" Jean informed as he handed Dino a scroll.
Naruto was now fully awake once he heard Kabuto's name mentioned. He knew there was a search party out looking for him issued by the Third Hokage and the government. He was to be seized and arrested. Anko was also a part of that party as well so he wasn't in the dark about this bit of information. The mafia themselves were out looking for the young man as well and they've just recently lost him. That wasn't good.
"I want you to double your efforts in finding this young man. The sooner we find him the sooner we can turn him over to the proper authorities. Bring in our underground specialist and have our local probes keeping an ear to the ground. He's stuck around the village for all this time after revealing himself, which means he has no intention of leaving and is still very much in hiding somewhere. He's upsetting the balance in the village with so many ninjas on high alert looking for him." Dino said as he placed the scroll in his desk. "I understand sir. I'll get to it right away." Jean announced as he left the room. He had nothing else to report and if anything needed to be brought to his attention everyone knew where to find him.
"Anything else…?" Dino inquired as he looked around the room. Naruto while perked up was quickly losing interest yet again as he leaned back in the couch he was sitting in. Henrietta was next to him and so was Rico and Triela. She had just returned from the hospital after spending the day with Hinata. Since this was her new assignment handed to her by Naruto himself and approved by the others in the division that's all she's been doing for the last few days. Jean was heavily annoyed when he found this out and was going to reverse the order but Lord Dino vetoed his objection.
Naruto's head was resting on her shoulder which was causing the chestnut brown-haired girl to blush up a storm. Rico was snuggled into Naruto's side with her hands wrapped around his waist. The bubbly girl was incredibly affectionate with Naruto who she had the tiniest crush on. She viewed him more as a twin brother than anything for the most part. She just couldn't help but find him attractive as well, but that was a minor detail she could overlook about 90% of the time so it never really negatively affected their friendship in any way or her friendship with others. Angelica who was very sick today had her head resting in Henrietta's lap while the rest of her body was curled up in the couch. Her treatments and test were hitting a tight snag. Shoko was doing everything she could for the poor girl to make her feel better but she was also concerned about her fluctuating condition. Naruto always had the sick girl in the back of his mind and he would often read her stories and play with her whenever he got the chance.
Since becoming a full agent and handler in the mafia Naruto put in a formal request to be Angelica's handler. Dino seeing the care and sympathy Naruto was carrying for the girl agreed wholeheartedly. It caused a tiny bit of friction since Naruto was still and currently is the handler to Aria but Dino was perfectly ok with bending the rules a bit. Naruto also decided to take Claes under his wing as well since like Angelica she was without a proper handler. While Angelica looks to Naruto as an older brother and her savior, Claes views him as the annoying older brother that meddles to much with her inner feelings. Naruto always knows exactly which book to bring her that would capture her interest. Claes is confined to the casino as she is used as the primary test subject for the Marionette program that gave the girls back their lives. Her importance to this task and research became much more essential when Angelica's condition started to deteriorate.
Claes is an antisocial girl by nature and she usually becomes irritated with Naruto because he's easily able to read her true emotions. He knows exactly which buttons to push to either make her happy or frustrate her, and he uses that knowledge of his while making decisions on many of her tastes and favorite things to do and once he puts his mind to it he always tries to fulfill her wishes. Because she is confined to the Casino for most of the year she has developed a deep love and fascination with literature and books of all kinds and he brings her a new book almost every week that she always ends up enjoying. The antisocial girl secretly loves Naruto very deeply but she would never outright admit it. It's not in her nature too. Naruto offering to be her handler even though she couldn't be assigned missions anymore meant more to her than words could express. They both knew it but words didn't need to be spoken for them to understand this fact. It was the same with Angelica, but that girl was far more affectionate than Claes ever would be.
"Lord Dino we actually have one last thing to discuss." Victor Hilshire spoke up with his own deep voice. He was the handler for Triela. "Oh, what would that be?" Dino asked curiously. The old man would admit that he passes on quite a bit of responsibility to Shoko and a few other senior members of the mafia to handle. He of course oversees everything and gets involved with certain situations but he also likes to relax. He's old and would much more prefer to spend his days enjoying the comforts of running his casino and what it has to offer instead of worrying about the criminal underworld, but it's a difficult job and someone has to do it. As of now he takes updates from his senior staff in these weekly and sometimes daily meetings to stay on top of things as he doesn't have the patience to do so on his own anymore.
"The new business contract we were commissioned to due involving the new experimental chakra armor. It's hit a financial snag and coupled with the fact Shoko has had to concern herself with our marionettes and other projects it's caused our progress to slow down. She's been quite busy." Victor explained as he showed Dino a scroll that had blueprints and diagrams drawn on it. It was intricately drawn by none other than Naruto himself. A fun fact that he doesn't express much to anyone is the fact he can draw very well. He's an excellent artist and he even drew a highly detailed blueprint version of his own apartment years ago when he and Eva first moved in. They used it to map out the large complex and to pinpoint all of the areas in which they would need to repair.
When Naruto was asked to draw these blueprints by his superiors he was understandably confused and interested. He was kept privy to what was going on with its development, it was an interesting concept and something that as an adolescent boy would capture his attention. "We've gotten some of the mechanics for absorbing Ninjutsu down and we're working on Genjutsu but it's going slowly. The absorption of magic is out of the question as of now since magic is such a diverse energy source and not as streamlined as Chakra. Our business partners are starting to grow discontent with our lack of progress. The scientists that they sent over here to work with us on this project are sending back negative criticism." Victor explained as Dino looked over the latest blueprints and reports with his experienced eyes. He let out a tired sigh of annoyance as he set the scroll down.
"Children these days… trying to pressure the mafia. The lack of respect these days. Send them a warning Victor. It will be done when it gets done." Dino grunted with irritation laced in every word. He didn't have the patience to deal with certain individuals. He was definitely to old.
Jose sent an amused looked towards Victor and Aspen as they shrugged their shoulders. This was nothing new for the men. Lord Dino never had any patients for disrespect or ignorance and the old king pin was very irritable towards such subjects which was a stark contrast to his usual cheerful and fun-loving self. "Yes sir. It will be done." Victor conceded with a resigned smile. Messing with the mafia is one of the dumbest things a person could do. "Sir, this new tech can be much more useful if we focus on developing it for the girls. It may save their lives." Naruto commented with a small frown as he didn't like how pushy their clients were being. He found it to be much more beneficial if they were to focus their efforts on making it compatible for the girls. With the multiple prosthetic limbs that they have this armor could protect them and even sustain their lives. It could even help Angelica and Claes.
"I understand that my boy. I've kept that thought well in mind but some of the technology that's being implemented into this research is foreign to us and comes from our clients up north. We may have the financial means to fund this project but we don't have all of the materials ourselves…" Dino explained in a withered tone as he took another sip from his cup of tea. "… however, that doesn't mean they can simply demand that we speed up our efforts. The contract had no express time limit and I will not have their ignorant poor words reflect badly on our family. To think we've been business partners with them for more than two decades…" Dino rambled as it was very late and he wanted to head to bed himself. Old men tend to get cranky when they start to miss out on their sleep.
"It never used to be like this… the man who's in charge now is fishy. I don't like it any more than you do Naruto but I intend to do a little digging myself if that would help." Aspen spoke up as he gave Naruto a little nod. Aspen's come to gain some respect for Naruto after the mission to wave. He had a lot to learn and while the mission was a success the Uzumaki's actions were questionable at best back during that time. Since then Aspen has actually reaped the benefits of Naruto's actions as he now has a valuable asset and contact in Zabuza Momochi. That was a major bonus that he thanked the child for, even though Naruto formally apologized to him for how he handled the whole fiasco. Since then Aspen has taken Naruto under his wing in the months following the mission to teach him a lot about the spy network. They've developed a mutual respect and friendship with one another. But the thing Aspen respected the most about Naruto was his care, loyalty, and devotion to his comrades and to the mafia family. Naruto cared deeply for the girls and always did everything he could to help them and their best interest. That earned him points in Aspens book.
Naruto agreed as he was going to comment back on what his superior had to say when a prominent knocking on the room's door alerted everyone that someone was there. "Come in." Lord Dino ordered as he took another sip of his tea. He could now sense a foreboding aura in the air. This sentiment was shared with the others in the room as they all tensed. The door opened and Chef Adam came in with a grim look on his face. "What is it Adam?" Dino cut to the chase as he looked at one of his senior staff.
"Lord Dino, it was just discovered 5 minutes ago that Hayate Gekkō was murdered. His body was found 7 blocks from here at the edge of the entertainment district." Adam said in a grave tone of voice. The room grew quiet as everyone let that sink in. "Yūago is going to be devastated…" Naruto whispered in shock as he was introduced to the new ANBU Captain a while back right around the time Shoko introduced Naruto to Hayate as a sparring partner. Yūago is Hayate's fiancé and they were going to get married some time towards the end of the year. Everyone was invited and Naruto was quite eager to go… now however, he just felt incredibly sad.
Shoko, Anko, Kurenai, and Yūago are all best friends so it was inevitable that he would eventually meet the elusive agent. Of course, he kept her identity secret as no one was ever supposed to know who the ANBU agents were while they were still in active service so Naruto never revealed that information to anyone but it still hurt him deeply since from the few times he's spent with her she was really cool. She was down to earth and easily approachable when not acting as a stoic agent.
As for Hayate, not only was he a member of the village's spy bureau but he was also a close friend to the mafia family. He wasn't a full member like everyone else but he was an honorary member and a welcomed guest. His death wasn't just a slight and a blow to the village, but to the Jasmine Dragon Mafia itself. This wouldn't be taken lightly.
"I see…" Dino said slowly as he calmly put his ever-present cup of tea down. "No one's going home tonight. We all have work to do." Dino said as the overwhelming look of the King Pin came to his eyes. This was the man who's been in charge of the mafia for about the same length of time Hiruzen has been the Third Hokage. No one crosses him in any way and lives to tell about it. Gone was the gentle grandfatherly like persona he puts on for those around him. He was a mobster first and foremost and age hasn't changed that fact.
Edge of the Entertainment District: 10 Minutes Ago
'In the end, he was no match for a sword made of wind. He was a worthy opponent though. So young and so very talented. Damn this village and its potential.' Baki silently thought to himself as he stood over the fresh corpse of Hayate Gekkō. The young man put up a fight worthy of his rank and underground fame. Baki thoroughly enjoyed himself and would gladly pay his respects to the fallen shinobi.
"Is it done?" A voice spoke up in the dead of night as a figure appeared out of the shadow behind Baki. "Yeah it's done. What about Gaara?" The Elite Jōnin confirmed as he turned around to address none other than Kabuto Yakushi himself. "Oh him… yeah he just finished killing off Dosu. That boy outlived his usefulness and provided an excellent appetizer for that monster." Kabuto sneered without an ounce of apathy anywhere in his voice. He shrugged his shoulders as he looked back in the direction Gaara was.
"I need to get out of here before we are discovered. I'd suggest you do the same." Baki warned as he erased any evidence of his presence in the area and body flickered away. Kabuto smiled a malicious smile as he fixed his glasses. "Humph. Don't get ahead of yourself old man." Kabuto flippantly said to himself as he disappeared from the roof top he was on.
A few blocks away on a large roof Gaara could be seen with his sand slowly retreating back into his gourd. Mixed into his sand was chunks of mangled up flesh and bone of a human being. An unstable look could be seen in his eyes as all that was left on the destroyed roof was a torn-up headband with the symbol for the Hidden Sound barely recognizable on it.
"You weren't enough to confirm my existence… I need the Uzumaki." Gaara growled out as he aggravatedly scratched the side of his face with sand peeling off and crumbling to the ground forming cracks in his face. It was a full moon out and Gaara's bloodlust was at its zenith.
"Uzumaki…!"
Jutsu Library
1.) Fūinjutsu: Five-Pronged Seal Release - This technique can be used to remove Fūinjutsu of up to equal power, like its counterpart.
2.) Acceleration - Accelerating Turn works by storing Kinetic energy in one's own body, reinforced by their own internal energy (Chakra, Yōki, etc.), and then releasing that kinetic energy through an opening in the shielding their internal energy is creating at the bottom of their feet allowing the user to reach and utilize explosive high-speed movements.
3.) Ice Style: Frost Touch Jutsu - A move that is identical to Ice Style: Frost Step Jutsu. However, this Jutsu is not limited to Naruto's feet. Any body part that Naruto uses to strike an opponent with will freeze the person's body instantly. However, Naruto can control the temperature of his ice so that he can either rapidly cool down a person's body just by touch or outright freeze the person solid.
4.) Ice Style: Ice-Make Jutsu - A Jutsu created from the combination of both Naruto and Evangeline's team work. By molding chakra mixed in with Eva's Yōki into his hands Naruto can create any object he wants out of Ice. Depending on how much chakra he puts into the Jutsu will determine how durable the creation is.
5.) Ice Style: Ice Ground Spears Jutsu - A move that Naruto uses. The user must be connected to the ground for this to work (Preferably by the feet) the user sends a surge of chakra through the ground that will travel to the intended target. The ground should freeze over in a thin sheet of ice. Once the user has his chakra spread out in his desired area he or she will send a pulse of chakra out into the area which will cause ice spikes to shoot out of the thin icy patch that their chakra created earlier. The technique is good for taking down enemies by impaling them in their legs.
6.) Ninja Art: Needle Jizō - This is a technique where the user encases themselves in a countless number of sharp needles, but in truth, the spikes are the user's hair. Chakra grants the strands of hair the hardness and shape of needles, endowed with a capacity to injure and kill on par with that of metallic weapons. In addition, if activated in response to an opponent's attack, it can also be used as a counter. The hair is made hard enough that it can withstand blows from certain types of weapons such as arrows.
7.) Ice Style: Ice Prison Jutsu - This technique allows the user to infuse their chakra with ice on the ground and bring it to the surface. The user can then trap their opponent within the ice by controlling its movements and completely surrounding them in the ice. It is strong enough to withstand basic Fire Release techniques, because the ice has already been infused with the user's chakra. The user can also surround themselves with the ice prison to act as a shield. Additionally, any piece of ice that Naruto is controlling can be used to immobilize a target. If he hits you with ice from any Ice Style Jutsu then he can freeze you in place.
8.) Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu - The Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu is the advanced version of the Jutsu and creates hundreds of clones instead of just the average number.
9.) Ninja Art: Art of the Raging Lion's Mane - This technique uses chakra to temporarily enhance the head's metabolism and manipulate the hair that grows longer as a result of it. There is also chakra flowing through the lengthened hair, making its hardness comparable to that of steel wire. By thickly bundling the hair, its strength is further increased, also increasing its destructive power.
10.) Yōjutsu: Water Celebration - A Demonic technique that Eva created that allows her to rapidly form a large volume of water that is cerulean in color instead of the normal clear color water takes. It is thick and heavier than normal water and it can blast through objects and break them a lot easier than normal water can. Eva can control this water at will and she can create large volumes of it.
11.) Wind Style: Great Breakthrough Jutsu - A technique that simply creates a ferocious gust of wind, whose scale and usage varies depending on the user. If used by a superior shinobi, it has enough destructive power to knock down a large tree. The wind from the squall can blow away all things in the user's line of sight. The technique can also be used in the form of a devastation stream of wind expelled from the user's mouth.
12.) Fire Style: Flame Bomb Jutsu - This technique is executed by the user gathering oil in their mouth which is created by chakra, spitting it out, and igniting it. This technique simply shoots a flame bullet at the enemy. If the amount of oil that is prepared is kept down, the time it takes to invoke the technique is reduced. This allows the enemy to be stricken unaware, allowing the oil-containing flame bullet to burn them up completely. It is also possible to shoot out a series of flame bullets by partitioning the oil, or a continuous flamethrower.
13.) Kenjutsu: Arctic Blade Dance - Naruto's own version of Shoko's Hazard Blade Dance. By using his twin swords made of ice Naruto reenacts the same attack as Shoko but the difference is that crescent waves made of ice are launched from his swords with each swing and they will flash freeze anything they come in contact with.
14.) Kenjutsu: Accelerated Decapitation - A move that Naruto came up with in the heat of battle mixed in with his determination to escape a dire situation he found himself in. Coating himself in his Accel Cloak Naruto who has a sword or bladed weapon in his hands {It can be a real weapon or one created from his Ice Style} disappears in a burst of speed granted to him by his Accel Turn and swiftly decapitates his target in one fluid and quick motion. The victim will have no time to react since this technique is used at point black range and it is used during the element of surprise which will catch the opponent off guard.
15.) Accel Punch - The only known technique of Acceleration. By molding all of the chakra in the cloak to his fist Naruto can discharge a massive burst of both chakra and kinetic energy that can demolish at this point in time almost anything. However, at this attack can be canceled out by an attack of equal force of makeup.
16.) Summoning Jutsu - The Summoning Technique is a space–time ninjutsu that allows the summoner to transport animals or people across long distances instantly and uses blood as a sacrifice. Before an animal summoning can be performed, a prospective summoner must first sign a contract with a given species. The contract comes in the form of a scroll, on which the contractor uses their own blood to sign their name and place their fingerprints and once signed it is valid even after the contractor's death as long as the contract itself remains intact. After this, they need only offer an additional donation of blood on the hand they signed the contract with, mould their chakra with hand seals and then plant the hand they signed the contract with at the location they wish to summon the creature. The amount of chakra used during the summoning determines how powerful the summoned creature can be. It is possible for a summoner to summon a group of the same contracted animal, as opposed to a single individual.
Author's Note (A/N): Hey guys how was that? This chapter will be significant for a long time to come as Naruto and Jiraiya begin their budding relationship that will shape Naruto for years to come. The toad sage's acceptance of Naruto and his status means more to Naruto than almost anything else.
Jiraiya removing the suppression seal on Naruto's stomach had some interesting effects. A massive surge of power to be exact. This is brought about by the fact Naruto's body was still steadily producing chakra the whole time the suppression seal was on him. The reason his body was able to still produce chakra was because Orochimaru was interrupted by Sakura when he was applying it to Naruto's body. It was incomplete allowing Naruto's body to continue to produce excess amounts of Chakra but with no place to filter out. The pressure created by this phenomenon strengthened Naruto's chakra network as his chakra stretched out the veins in his chakra circulatory system. Once that restriction was removed by Jiraiya all of Naruto's energy poured out of him in one large surge.
Jiraiya correctly guessed just what type of species Chaos happens to be which raises many questions in and of itself but he is stumped as to what Iris could possibly be. She's not going to come along and flat out tell him so it's going to leave the poor sage mind boggled.
The sparring match Naruto and Jiraiya engage in was for the purpose of showcasing how strong Jiraiya is compared to Naruto and other characters while allowing Naruto to stretch his limbs so to speak. Jiraiya did it so that he could see just what exactly Naruto was capable of.
Unlike in the canon, Naruto's major issue won't be him having immense reserves of chakra. That will factor in when needed in certain circumstances but it is offset by the fact Naruto's chakra control is pretty decent due to the fact he unlocked his chakra and started training soon after his 4th Birthday. That self taught training augmented by being taken in under Shoko's wing and learning from the Academy allowed Naruto to develop far superior chakra control to his Manga counterpart.
The second half of the chapter that takes place in the casino is highly important as not only do we get to see many characters again but we get to see their interactions once more. We learn some very important things such as the fact the Mafia is actively searching for Kabuto who they know to still be lurking around the village. His presence alone has upset the balance and peace within the village.
We get some background lore on Dino and his family's lineage. His father made a deal with Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage and in exchange for that deal which we can all easily speculate was to allow his family which was the mafia to settle down within the village; the First Hokage would fertilize the land surrounding their town and create a forest to sustain them. It's obvious massive amounts of financial stability would come to the village with the presence of Dino's family so it's a no brainer that Hashirama would agree. Most likely at the insistence of Tobirama.
We get to see the dynamic relationship between Naruto and his friends in section 2 examined. Henrietta is busy with her assignment from Naruto. We get to see how Rico views Naruto and how he is significant to her. No word from Triela but she's there. I finally get around to expanding a bit on Angelica and Claes. Angelica is just like all the other girls in the group. She is a marionette, however unlike the others she is incredibly sick. Her body is breaking down and rejecting her prosthetic implants and multiple surgeries. her health is constantly fluctuating and below average. Claes was chosen to become the top test subject for the mafia to develop a way to save Angelica's life and advance the technology behind the program to better sustain their fragile lives. It's also heavily implied that Shoko is one of the head researchers in this project as I've alluded to once before.
Victor reveals that the mafia was contracted by a client to help them develop a new suit of chakra armor. Naruto who not only is the artist behind their blueprints but someone who has an inkling on what they are capable of makes a strong and valid advocation for simply using this new technology to better the lives of the girls in the mafia. I drop several hints to keep an eye out for later on down the road in the story so good luck.
Finally it is revealed to the Mafia that Hayate is killed only a few blocks away from the casino. The perpetrators are none other than Baki from the Hidden Sand and Kabuto himself lurking around in the shadows. Meanwhile, Gaara is off murdering Dosu in cold blood. Although to be fair he had it coming to him for trying to preemptively take Gaara out of the competition. Gaara makes the distinct comment that he wants the Uzumaki family to be his prey.
What will this mean for the future I wonder?
