Hello again guys, thanks for feedback it really helps in understanding where I went wrong.
Now to answer the questions many of you asked about the previous chapter.
QnA:-
Q:- Why did I make him use Dragon drive when it wasn't necessary to do so?.
A:- I have explained it in this chapter but for those who would miss the underlying meaning, it was mainly done to show that he doesn't always think his battles through, he still has some of "The old Naruto" in him which makes him take unnecessary risks and idiotic decisions.
Q:- Why is the timeline mixed up, Nawaki is older than Minato so why is he shown younger here, the sanins got their title in the second shinobi war not the third and other such questions related to canonical discrepancy.
A:- The whole point of writing a fanfiction is supposed to be for it to be different than the canon, every writer has his own idea for a fiction, if you want the story to be canonically correct everytime, then you are in the wrong place.
Author's note:-
Now look, I don't usually like to single out the readers while addressing them but, I have to reply to 'Luciendar' because many like him comment that the story doesn't make any sense, it is too random, the character have no development etc.
So, I quote his questions to answer him and many others like him who may face such questions.
Q:- 'It doesn't seem like Naruto spent very much time with Kakashi, how the hell is he the boy's idol?'.
A:- I have already mentioned that Naruto was present during Kakashi's childhood, he baby-sitted him till he was three. And about Naruto being his idol, Just read the chapter 13.
Q:-'The story is just too random. The nonsense crap is not amusing. Dragons are overused as summons and automatically make a character to op for words. Naruto toyed with minato not long ago who was supposed to be crazy powerful, he handled A and B together, but Kushina is pushing him? There are simply too many time skips and not enough character development.'
A:- I'll answer every question you have asked here.
'The story is too random'.
That comment is too random, please mention what you found random, same with the 'nonsense crap' which is 'not amusing'.
' Dragon's are overused as summons and automatically make a character too op for words'.
I haven't had him summon the dragons even once, I haven't even written any interactions they had with Naruto for this very same reason, so how can you say I have overused them when the only mention of them are with few words throughout the story and about them making the character op, isn't that the whole point for introducing dragons is to make the main character op.
'Naruto toyed with Minato not long ago who was supposed to be crazy powerful, he handled A and B together, but Kushina is pushing him?'.
The fight between Naruto and Minato was not fought by them at a complete 100%, it was a match to showcase their skills not to defeat one another. And Naruto was still adjusting his strength to human standards so Minato was just caught off guard, Naruto mentions this himself in the conversation with the hokage. In his fight with A and B, A was fighting him with a broken arm and since he is much younger than the one Naruto fought in the future, Naruto was easily able to keep up with him same with B. Naruto defeated B before he could really use any real amount of the power provided to him by the 8 tails and since B was fighting together with A he naturally held back to let A take the lead.
Now, about the part of Kushina pushing him, its already been mentioned in Canon Naruto series that she was an extremely strong and badass ninja in her early age, that was without any real amount of training on her part. But here, she already had Naruto since her childhood to make her want to get strong. Along with that her teacher is Sakumo Hatake, one of the strongest ninja to ever live, and she has a good amount of control over the nine tails. So, to make her weak would be the more idiotic choice here. Hence, she is so strong as to push Naruto, the same applies to Mikoto to so degree.
'Too many time-skip, not enough character development'
What do you mean by 'too many time-skips'. I have only introduced 2 time skips, one in chapter 5 and other in chapter 12, what imaginary time-skips are you talking about?, 'Not enough character development', I literally went to Naruto being alive then dying then resurrecting in a new body and gaining a new personality from his previous life, if that is not character development, I don't know what is.
Sorry for this little rant but it was long time coming. Please people, ready the story properly then point out its defects.
Anyway, all of your support is much appreciated.
'internal thoughts'
"Normal conversation"
With everyone ready for the fight to come. Jiraiya and Tsunade dashed to engage the hulking form that was Naruto, he had grown to the height of 7 feet, easily towering over everyone present. With his shirt ripped apart, his upper body was bare, revealing huge muscular biceps and tattooed forearms, his chest rose and fell with every breath he took, that, with his impressive set of 8 packs made him an imposing figure to look at.
He made no movement, even when Jiraiya and Tsunade had surrounded him. The first to throw the punch was Jiraiya, he aimed for his forehead first, followed by his jaws and ribcage, then a kick to his chest. During the entire combo, Naruto made no move to block, dodge or counter. He just stood there and took the attacks head-on. Seeing that Jiraiya's attacks were ineffective to even gain his attention, Tsunade decided to take a Crack at him. She leaped in the air and readied her fists to punch him with as much strength she could muster.
As she fell and landed her punch, the entire area around them was filled with smoke and debrie as the ground beneath Naruto's legs gave away. As the dust settled, Tsunade could be seen struggling to increase her strength as her punch was caught by Naruto with his right palm raised over his head.
Naruto's legs were currently 2 feet in the ground, his thighs could be seen flexing and tearing through what remained of his pants. The arm blocking Tsunade's punch was strung taut with muscles, not moving an inch even when Jiraiya unloaded another combo of his punches and kicks.
Seemingly annoyed by Jiraiya's persistent attacks, Naruto finally made a move.
He swung his arm, which was currently holding Tsunade, at Jiraiya. Her entire body whiplashed as she crashed into him and was blasted away from his position, all the way to the border of the barrier.
Instead of pressing his advantage, Naruto went back to his original position of standing still and looking ahead with glazed red eyes.
"Are you ok?" Sarutobi asked, reaching Jiraiya's position and helping him up while Sakumo helped Tsunade.
"I'm alright" Jiraiya muttered as he dusted his clothes "pissed, but alright".
"Her arm is broken" Sakumo called out from his position near Tsunade, who was scanning her arm.
"The bone is completely shattered" she informed "the force with which he threw me immediately crushed my arm. I can heal it later but for now it is completely useless."
"So, did you find any weakness we can exploit" Jiraiya asked after checking-up on Tsunade "Or did we just get manhandled for nothing".
"I made some observations" the hokage started, "He hasn't moved from his place since the fight has started, he hasn't attacked anyone without being provoked either."
"I noticed that before the fight even started!" Jiraiya replied " I hope we didn't get our asses kicked for this shitty information."
"Jiraiya, " Tsunade started, "let sensei finish".
Jiraiya huffed but quited down.
"As I was saying, he will not attack anyone if he his not provoked and from what his summons informed us earlier he is completely reliant on instincts right now."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Jiraiya inquired.
It was Sakumo who responded this time "Did you notice, he didn't even react to your attacks when the fight started".
"You don't have to point that out" Jiraiya muttered.
"My guess is, he didn't think your attacks were enough of a threat for him to even block or dodge them. He only moved when Tsunade, used her super strength to punch him, meaning, since that attack posed a threat to him he reacted by blocking it."
"Does that mean he won't attack if he doesn't perceive you as a threat to himself?" Jiraiya inquired.
"Exactly," the hokage continued "Now look, Kushina and Mikoto are fighting him." He pointed towards them.
Naruto was only reacting to Kushina's attacks while completely ignoring Mikoto.
"He is only dodging Kushina's slashes, Mikoto's punches are being completely ignored." Jiraiya noticed.
After fighting Naruto for few more seconds both jumped back and made few hand seals.
"Katon :- Ryuuka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique)"
"Raiton :- Gian (Lightning Release: False Darkness)"
Collaborating their attacks, they both released an huge stream of fire and lighting from their mouths, which combined together to form an even bigger beam burning and electrocuting everything around it.
"Collaboration :- Electric flame destruction"
The combined beam was thrice the size of Naruto by the time it reached him. He made no effort to evade or counter it, even as the blast engulfed him whole.
Landing besides Jiraiya and the Hokage, Mikoto spoke, "That must have atleast done some damage".
"Ya, those were a combination of 2 B-ranked jutsu, no way he is coming out of it unscathed, he took the full brunt of that attack." Kushina continued, landing besides Tsunade.
The attack obscured everything from view, by the time it died down only ash and smoke remained in that area.
" Fuuton: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough) "
Everyone looked at Anko who had just performed that jutsu.
"The smoke was taking too much time to settle down, I did what I had to", she shrugged.
As the wind blew away the smoke, Naruto was revealed to be still standing in that ditch he was before, except, everything in front of him was completely destroyed, while, starting from his position, everything behind him remained relatively unharmed as his body had acted as a barrier and split the beam, taking its complete impact.
What remained of his clothes seemed to have burnt away, leaving only the burnt short pant, which had miraculously survived, to hide his modesty.
He appeared completely unharmed except the smoke rising from his body and random bolts of electricity which flew from his hair.
"He is so hot, isn't he? " Mikoto spoke in an aroused voice while staring at his body "I am so happy that I will soon be married to him soon".
"Mikoto!!!" Kushina screamed in embarrassment and covered Anko's ears "There are kids here, please control!"
"You won't be able to control yourself either once you have seen what's behind his trousers"
"Mikoto!!!" Kushina screamed again in embarrassment, her face as red as her hair.
Jiraiya giggled perversely and made notes in his notepad, "Ohh, this is gold!, my book is gonna be a hit once it is published".
"I swear Jiraiya, if I didn't have an broken arm, I would have smashed your face for that" Tsunade threatened.
Coughing to bring back everyone's attention the hokage started " Trying to fight him in close quarters is useless since he will tank most of our attacks, our only option is to attack him from range"
"But he will tank those too" Kakashi interrupted "If an S-ranked collaboration jutsu didn't phase him, nothing else probably will"
"Yes, that's true" the hokage replied, agreeing with Kakashi "But, if all of us combine our most powerful attacks, he will not stand a chance."
"Hokage-sama," Kushina intervined "We don't have to kill him, that's not our goal here"
"Don't worry" He reassured "Naruto is strong, he won't die so easily " he paused "probably".
"Before we try any extreme method, we should atleast try to fight him together. I have calculated a plan, If that won't work than we can try your idea." Mikoto offered, everyone agreed to her reasoning.
With their plan of action completed, they all surrounded him in a circle.
"Ready?" the hokage asked as he looked around, everyone gave a subtle nod as they observed Naruto for any movement.
"Then, start!"
With that, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Sakumo and The hokage lunged at him from all the sides. But, unlike earlier, Naruto didn't stand still, this time, he immediately dashed towards Jiraiya, who looked surprised by his sudden movement, but by the time he moved to react, Naruto had already thrown a punch which hit him square in the face and knocked him down.
Naruto then immediately turned around and caught the white saber aimed at his neck between his index finger and thumb, he then raised his other arm to block the staff swung by the hokage in his palm. With both his arms occupied, Tsunade dashed and aimed a punch at his forehead, he tried to move but looking down he found his feet being held by Jiraiya, the Jiraiya behind him popping in smoke to reveal a shadow clone.
With both his arms and legs occupied, Naruto only moved his head back to try and headbutt Tsunade's punch but suddenly he stiffened as seals covered the entirety of his body.
"Uzumaki sealing : Body binding"
Kushina, Mikoto, Kakashi and Anko slammed their hands on the ground as the seals spread all across his body.
It only took him only a second to break out of that binding but a second was all Tsunade needed.
"Yama-yaburi kogeki (Mountain crushing punch) ".
She yelled as she smashed her fist on his forehead. There was a loud crash and the sound of bones snapping as Naruto's upper half was buried in the ground.
"Did you kill him, I heard his neck snap" Jiraiya asked in fear.
"Those weren't his bones that broke" she replied, motioning to her now, other broken arm, "This is definitely going to hurt alot later".
Everyone immediately got in a stance as they noticed Naruto start to move again.
"Lets go with my plan now" The Hokage ordered, everyone got ready as Kushina and Nawaki bound him with their kekkai genkai.
"Kongō Fūsa (Adamantine Attacking Chains)".
"Mokuton :- Jubaku Eiso (Binding Nest)".
Kushina used her chains to bind and make him stand upright, Nawaki's technique soon followed as Naruto was further trapped by thick roots, covering him from head to toe.
Mikoto's eyes changed from her 3 tomoed sharingan to her Mangekyou sharingan, it was shaped like a flower with 6 petals, ( Refer https/pin.it/5IzkV7w for the image, not my property).
A large blue coloured ribcage soon surrounded her, its hands transforming from bones to flesh and muscles, it's upper body following soon.
She raised her hand forward with her palm raised to the sky, the susanoo moved to follow her gesture, soon a blue ball of rapidly spinning chakra surrounded by magatama beads appeared in its palm, the beads joint together by a circular blue chakra string spinning horizontally along the spiralling ball.
Kushina transformed to her 6 tails version, her body covered in kyubi's thick red chakra, white bone skeleton of a fox soon manifested around her body as extra armor.
The six tails Kushina sat on her hind legs and moved her head towards Naruto and started to gather chakra in front of her mouth.
Sakumo, strengthen his sabre with chakra, increasing its size as well as its power, the new katana gave off a powerful white glow which could easily blind an enemy. He had decided to stay back with the hokage to provide support.
Jiraiya readied his summoning scroll to call in reinforcements if necessary.
Tsunade, meanwhile, decided to stay back with Nawaki, Kakashi and Anko, she couldn't do much now since both her arms were broken.
There was silence on the field as they all observed Naruto, with their jutsu ready.
Soon his hand started to twitch, then slowly but surely, it begun to move, the roots started to stretch and break off, while the chains began to break, one link at a time.
"Get ready!" the hokage shouted as he prepared his own attack. Naruto's hand by now had reached till his face.
As soon as he finished removing the roots covering his face, the hokage too finished his long series of hand seals.
"Attack!"
"Stop!"
Both, Naruto and Sarutobi yelled at once.
Everyone widened their eyes as they realized that Naruto was conscious and immediately cancelled their attacks. All except Kushina and Mikoto, they had released their attacks a little early and now a small Bijudama and a Yasaka no magatama mixed with Rasengan was headed towards him.
Immediately dropping their transformations they watched in horror as Naruto was engulfed by their attacks. The last thing they saw were his eyes activating his sharingan.
The explosion which followed lasted for many seconds and blinded everyone with its light the loud boom it caused left an ringing noise in everyone's ears.
"What have we done?" Kushina spoke in horror, her eyes wide in shock.
"We killed him!" Mikoto wailed as she fell to her knees.
"Now now", the hokage started "I am sure that didn't kill him, we have seen how durable he is in Dragon drive. Plus, we were all going to attack him together, now that would have definitely caused him some serious injuries" He quickly motioned Sakumo to back him up.
"Yyes", Sakumo stuttered "Naruto is strong, I don't believe something like that could have killed him" He then motioned to the now completely destroyed training field, it had giant craters and deep trenches left by the aftermath of all damage it had taken before. By the state it was in now, nobody would guess that the now barren land was once filled with trees and greenery not even an hour ago.
As the smoke died down, they could all see the true extent of the damage caused by the combined power of their attack.
An enormous trench had appeared, stretching all the way till the end of the barrier from Naruto's position.
"I don't see Naruto sensei anywhere" Kakashi called out from his position near the trench.
"Did he get vapourised by that attack, I know I would have if that thing hit me head on" Jiraiya asked Sakumo, who too was searching for Naruto.
Hearing this caused both, Kushina and Mikoto, to start crying again. Tsunade, who was consoling them, glared at Jiraiya and motioned him to shut up.
After few minutes of searching, Anko finally found him.
"He's over here" she yelled from her position near the barrier. Everyone quickly ran to her position and peaked over the edge of the trench.
Kakashi, Anko, Nawaki and Tsunade quickly jumped down and landed near Naruto's position. He was half buried in the ground with only his head and chest sticking above it.
"How is he?"
"Is he alive?"
The hokage and Jiraiya yelled from their place over the edge, the trench was easily 15 meters deep so they had to speak a little louder. Sakumo, meanwhile was holding back both Kushina and Mikoto from jumping over the edge to meet Naruto, they were in a bad emotional state so he didn't want them to see him, atleast till they know he is alive and fine.
"He is alive" Tsunade yelled back " I can see his chest move, his dragon drive seems to have been deactivated. I can't check his condition right now since both my arms are broken," she paused, "wait a second" she then placed her head on his chest
"His heart is beating fine, so, not much internal damage, we can bring him up now."
She then instructed Kakashi and Nawaki to carefully dig him out, so they don't aggravate his injuries.
Half-way through their digging, Naruto had regained consciousness and with some effort and their help had pulled himself up, Kakashi had provided him with an standard Anbu pant which he had stored for emergency since Naruto's trousers were non-existent by now.
Now lying on the ground, he was surrounded by Tsunade, Mikoto and Kushina, with the latter of the two bawling their eyes out.
"We are sorry Naruto!" Mikoto cried, as she tended to his injuries.
"Its ok" Naruto groaned "I am alright, it is only a flesh wound, I'll heal in no time" He tried to get up but Tsunade stopped him immediately.
"Don't try to get up" she started while motioning Kushina and Mikoto to keep him down "You are very badly injured, most of your skin has burned off and your entire body is covered in 3rd degree burns, that's just the damage I can see, there is no telling how much internal damage you have sustained. We have to take you to the hospital, I can't help you here, not with my broken arms".
"I can try" Mikoto offered, wiping her tears "I have some medical knowledge, it's compulsory for Anbu to have atleast basic knowledge in the healing arts."
Tsunade nodded and guided her with the check-up.
"How did you get so injured?" Jiraiya inquired "I had imagined, you would have brushed it off like any other attack thrown at you".
"I was disoriented" Naruto replied as he let Mikoto scan him, Kushina was holding his hand and crying silently, "While an attack like that would have definitely hurt, it wouldn't have injured me this much, no matter the state I was in. The bindings and Kushina's chains cut-off my chakra access but even those were easy to break since I used the power of my sharingan. I readied its defensive technique as quickly as I could, it held firm for few seconds but then the seal I had applied activated and I lost my Dragon drive, this sudden loss of power caused my defense to break" He explained.
He bought Kushina's hand close to his lips and kissed it "It wasn't anyone's fault but my own, I shouldn't have used a technique which I hadn't mastered completely. I had planned to only use it for few seconds to counter Kushina's technique but as you know, that didn't work out too well. I am really sorry for all the trouble I caused", the last part was said to everyone present as he bowed his head a little.
"I guess you are not that smart after all" Jiraiya commented, mainly to soothe his ego since he was out-matched throughout the fight.
"I guess I am not" Naruto accepted, not really offended.
"Why didn't you just use Hiraishin" Kakashi asked "You could have just flashed out of there".
"I couldn't" Naruto answered "The Hiraishin jutsu which I use needs pin-point chakra control and impeccable sensory detection to work. I was in no condition to activate that"
By the time he finished speaking, Mikoto had completed her check-up and deactivated her sharingan.
"So" Tsunade started, "how is he?"
"There are few fractures on his arms and legs, and a small concussion from where he smashed into the barrier, but that's it." she replied, wiping her tears "Its kind of dissappointing that one of our strongest techniques only gave him superficial damage, while he was disoriented no less".
"Mikoto!" Kushina chastised, while Naruto just gave a laugh as he slowly stood up.
"I'll try to get more injured next time" He replied.
"But he is OK right" Kushina inquired again.
"Yes, he only has mild chakra exhaustion but that too shall pass with some rest".
Happy that he didn't get any crippling injury, Kushina helped him walk towards the hospital. Mikoto then ordered team Kakashi to return to the village.
"Weren't Sakumo and the Hokage here too?" Naruto enquired.
"They have gone to address the village as to why a training field was just destroyed and what all the commotion was for" Tsunade replied while cradling her broken arms.
Feeling a little guilty for her broken arms, Naruto stopped and asked Tsunade to show him her hands.
Doing as she was told, Naruto put both of his hands over her injury, a green glow soon encompassed her arm.
"Naruto, I don't think my arms will heal with this, all the bones in there are shattered, I'll need intensive.."
Naruto shushed her and concentrated harder.
Soon the green colour of the technique changed to deep blue.
Loud cracks were heard as Tsunade's arm healed, all of its broken bones mending and joining together. By the time he finished, her right arm was as good as new.
"Naruto how did you..." Tsunade started but quick stopped as Naruto fell over.
"What happened?" Kushina yelled as she and Mikoto held him up.
Quickly scanning him with her now healed hand "sever chakra exhaustion", Tsunade replied "healing my arm must have taken a lot from him, he will be ok once we take him to the hospital, he is just unconscious for now".
Xxx Few Hours Later xxX
'This feels like Déjà vu ' Naruto thought, as he opened his eyes and stared at the white ceiling above. He was covered in bandages from head to toe and currently laying on a hospital bed.
"Your up!" Tsunade called out as she entered the room and did a quick checkup on him.
"Most of your wounds have healed, so have your fractured bones".
"I know" Naruto replied as he sat on the bed and started removing all the bandages, "I am a medic too if you haven't forgotten" by now he had removed all of his bandages, the skin below was a healthy shade of pink, none of the third degree burns had left a mark on him.
Standing up and moving to the table where his new clothes were kept, he continued "My chakra levels are low but they will fill back up within a day or two of rest", he then proceeded to change into his usual outfit.
"That was a stupid move you pulled there" Tsunade chastised him, recalling his transformation, "Was it really necessary to use a unmastered technique, in a spar no less or were you just being dumb and trying to show off".
"I am sorry alright" Naruto apologised, "I didn't really need the dragon drive to counter Kushina's technique but I got so hyped up from the fight that I couldn't control myself."
Tsunade sighed, "I guess even someone as smart as you has his dumb moments. I am just happy that no one was seriously injured."
"By the way, where are Kushina and Mikoto?" He asked after wearing his clothes and drinking a glass of water.
"I ordered them to return back to their house, they were making a lot of rucus here".
"Understandable" Naruto replied as he went for the door.
"The hokage has asked you to meet him as soon as possible, it's about the mission he spoke of earlier, you should meet him on your way home".
Naruto nodded and headed out.
Xxx Hokage Office xxX
"So, what did you want to talk about" Naruto asked as he sat in front of the hokage who was writing some reports, "Tsunade-sensei said it was urgent".
"How are your wounds?" the hokage replied, ignoring him and continued his work.
Naruto sighed, "I am all healed up, just minor chakra exhaustion".
He finished his report and set it aside "Your wolf summon, Kuro, informed us about your Dragon Drive and what is the cost for using it" He replied with an serious expression " so my question to you is, what made you think it was a smart idea to pull an unmastered technique, in a friendly spar no less?"
Naruto deflated as hung his head low in embarrassment "I am sorry alright, It was stupid of me for using that, I have already been heavily chastised for using it in a spar".
"I guess even you have your dumb moments, its good to know you are not that perfect as people make you out to be".
"That was low" Naruto muttered.
"And you totally deserve it. Now, how much chakra have you lost?".
"I am all right" Naruto replied "I will recover with some rest".
"Don't play coy with me" the hokage replied "There is a reason that I am known as the professor, now tell me how much of your chakra have you lost!".
Naruto looked stunned that the hokage would talk to him this way but then he remembered that this version of him is not the same one that he knew when he was still a kid.
"30%" Naruto replied "I have lost around 30% of my total chakra".
The Hokage sighed and leaned back on his chair "And how much do you still have, compared to me".
"Around twice".
He nodded and puffed the hand pipe he had just lit.
"From here on, you are forbidden to use that technique until absolutely necessary, I can't have one of my strongest ninja go to waste like this, Do you understand that?" He said with a peircing gaze.
Naruto just nodded silently.
After finishing his smoke, the Hokage spoke again, "There have been many skirmishes around our borders lately, but, that is to be expected during a war however we are able to defend our land for the most part. But, we have been receiving some unsettling reports from our west borders lately, entire platoons of our ninjas are being wiped out with only a few survivors alive to tell its tale." the hokage stopped and lit his smoking pipe again, "Hanzo of the salamander, he is the new leader of a small village known as Amegakure (village hidden in rain). The village shares border with us, Iwa and Suna so it's usually a hot zone during war. But, since he came to power, he has been steadily pushing his village boundaries further into the neighbouring nations, us included".
"Why hasn't he been stopped yet?", Naruto interrupted, "Iwa and Suna both have considerable forces so it wouldn't be much of a problem for them or us for that matter" He asked.
'Hanzo, I have heard that name before' Naruto thought, blocking out what the hokage was saying 'If I remember correctly he was the one that named Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orichimaru the Sanins after he defeated them in combat'.
By now the hokage had stopped speaking and was looking at Naruto expectedly.
"Sorry" Naruto apologised and scratched his cheek with an embarrassed smile "Did you say something?".
The hokage took deep breaths and calmed himself down, "You really know how to push someone's buttons, don't you?".
Naruto nodded, puffing his chest a little.
"THAT WASN'T A COMPLIMENT!!!" the hokage snapped, breathing heavily "I swear, every time I talk to you, I feel myself loose a bit of my sanity."
"I have that effect on people" Naruto replied, proud of his ability to even make some like the third hokage loose his cool.
The hokage inhaled deeply and finally calmed down, "Ask Jiraiya, I have briefed him on the mission, he will explain you how to proceed".
Naruto nodded and headed towards the door,
"And be sure to take team Kakashi with you, they did technically won the bet since you used your sharingan in the fight."
Naruto deflated and continued on his way.
