8 Back to Konoha
A year had passed since he became Naruto.
He is now going back to Konoha with JIraya walking beside him.
It took some time, but he was finally able to put some sense into Jiraya. Basically, he blackmailed him to teach him some jutsu and seals.
After a few months, the relationship was now ok ok.
And now they are walking back to Konoha as he is asking a few questions?
"So what rank am I going to be now?" He asked.
"Can't say much about that brat, it's totally dependent on Tsu-hime," Jiraiya replied
"What rank do you think I am in now?"
"Hoho… What I think…. with us last spar, I can say that you are at minimum a jonin in level," Jiraya started with a laugh. "Does not mean that you can fight with Kakashi, Asuma, and Guy on equal step in, but Kurenai and some other jonins should be an easy game for you now."
"And if I had the sage mode that Pa talked about then."
While Naruto knows the answer, he had to ask that question because to keep his cover, and how did he know it happened you month back when he was going to summon Gamakichi but accidentally summoned
Gamabunta.
When he asked why he had summoned him, he told him the truth that he was going to summon Gamakichi.
When he asked about Jiraiya, He told what Jiraiya was doing the last few months and why he was not training him.
That day, he learned some new colourful words from Gamabunta, and he had told him to do the summoning Jutsu again with more chakra this time.
He did that, and Pa and Ma were in front of him, and Gamabunta told them what he had told him.
They had reverse summoned Jiraiya and Guri, and all three of them had torr into Jiraiya.
"Hey brat, u there?" Jiraiya asked, waving his hand at his face.
"Oh yeah.. Just remembered the day when I summoned Gamabunta." He replied.
"Ohh," Jiraiya scowled at that.
"Anyway, as for your question, if you learn sage mode, I don't think there will be anyone who can fight you or even give you a run for your money if you master that," Jiraiya said in a serious tone.
"But you're too Young to even think about it, so just leave it for now," Jiraiya told him.
" I am not thinking about it, I am just asking how powerful Sage mode is," he replied as he walked beside him with his arms placed behind his head, as he looked at the sky.
As they walked, Jiraiya couldn't help himself as he looked at Naruto's outfit.
He wears a close-fitting black turtleneck that wraps his upper body like a second skin.
Over it, He wears a light yet structured white jacket, open in front. The stark contrast between the jacket and the black base below immediately draws the eye.
His pants are black cargo-style trousers with a relaxed fit through the thighs and a taper near the ankles. Straps and subtle buckles sit along the sides.
On his feet, he wears white shinobi sandals.
Overall, the outfit feels intentional and balanced.
Or in JIraya's words, he now looks perfect, lady catcher.
...
It was almost noon now, and they could finally see the gates of Konoha with Izumo and Kotetsu there.
"Hey, guys," Naruto called out
"Huh," Kotetsu said, but Izumo said in a joyful tone.
"NAR---
