"Steam Release and Swift Release! I can be faster than Raikage and hit harder than Tsunade."
"Imagine putting a Chakra Cloak of Ice or Lava over my body while using Steam Release and Swift Release to power up my speed and strength."
Hearing that, Kurama's lips twitched.
"Naruto, you are being too imaginative. Just handling one chakra nature would be hard for you, not to mention multiple Kekkei Genkai."
"From what I can say, you can start with Water Release. Then, slowly move into Wind Release."
"Finally, we can start with Lightning Release. After you can bear the power of all three Chakra Natures, we can start with Swift Release."
"And, finally, we will use Steam Release. As for Lava Release and Ice Release, they can only be used as a long-distance attack or armor."
Naruto rubbed his head.
"Although you said it because water will be much gentler than wind, having to practice water please wouldn't be easy."
"Especially since I haven't practiced Water Release in my future. I did inherit it, but I only trained in Wind Release."
Hearing that, Kurama shook his head and said.
"We need to start with Water Release. Not to mention, you are trying to create a new kind of Nin-Taijutsu."
"Just look at the consequences of using Eight Gates. That's the problem with having too much or too powerful Chakra."
"That's why when Mangekyo user uses their power constantly, they go blind. After all, Mangekyo is simply the manifestation of Yin Release."
"But their Yin Release is so strong that their eyes can't bear the power of that Yin Release, and it causes blindness."
"That's why a Uchiha needs to merge two Mangekyo from the same origin to create Eternal Mangekyo."
"But even Eternal Mangekyo will bleed if it gets used too quickly."
Naruto nodded his head.
"You are right. I should take this slow. But, considering my battle with Neji, I need to get this done within a month."
"So, I will be using Shadow Clones to speed up my progress. By the way, I will also let ten of my shadow clones learn Sealing Jutsu."
"While another ten learn Rasengan."
Hearing that, Kurama folded his hands and said.
"I sensed a strong presence last night. He has been following us and watching over you. I believe this is Jiraiya's presence."
"You should let your real body fight Jiraiya and adapt to your future-self Taijutsu. His Taijutsu has been refined to be one of the best in the world."
"Even someone with Rinnegan and Sharingan or Byakugan can't overwhelm him so easily in Taijutsu."
"Your body is weaker and smaller. So, you need a lot of battle experience to adapt."
Hearing that, Naruto nodded and opened his eyes.
The next moment, he stood up and made a tiger sign.
[Shadow Clone Jutsu]
He immediately made nearly fifty clones. He sent twenty of them to the other side while thirty of them moved closer to the forest.
Only he remained in the middle before he shouted.
"Oi, why are you hiding in the bush?"
There was a deep silence in the forest before a tall figure walked out. This figure was none other than Jiraiya.
"Wahaha! I wasn't hiding. I was gathering material."
When he said that, Naruto turned his head and found a river far away.
Considering where Jiraiya walked out from, he knew Jiraiya was spying on the women and him at the same time.
Seeing this, Naruto glared at the man and said.
"Pervert!"
"Hey, I am not a pervert."
Jiraiya immediately retaliated before shouting.
"I am Super Pervert."
Suddenly, he slammed his palm on the ground, and a lot of smoke emerged. Inside that smoke was a large toad, and Jiraiya stood on top of the toad.
"But my identity is more mystical, more awesome. I am the Sages of Toad, I am a hermit exploring the world, I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sannin."
As he introduced himself, Naruto's heart beat soared for a moment before he suppressed it.
He knew this was happening due to his merging with the memories of the future-self.
After all, for Naruto, Jiraiya was the closest relative.
If he got a chance to revive someone, he would definitely choose Jiraiya over his parents.
Because his parents were cool and kind, but he had built a strong emotional connection with Jiraiya rather than them.
As he suppressed those emotions, Naruto said.
"You are just a perv. Pervy Sage!"
Thud!
Jiraiya fell head first on to the ground after hearing Naruto's reaction and immediately jumped to his feet.
"I am not Pervy Sage. I am a Toad Sage."
Naruto ignored his words and said.
"So, Toad Sage, why are you spying on me? And, don't give me a bullshit reason!"
He knew Jiraiya was spying on him since Kurama said it himself. And that didn't happen with the future Naruto.
(A/N- I will address future Naruto as original Naruto from now on.)
The original Naruto had to convince Jiraiya to teach him. Although Jiraiya would've taught him eventually, he did try his best to convince him first.
So, it didn't make sense for Jiraiya to suddenly spy on him from yesterday.
Hearing Naruto's words, Jiraiya asked the toad to return to Mount Myoboku before saying.
"Well, I was supposed to train you. But you said you have many things you need to digest. So, I just wanted to make sure nothing goes wrong with you."
"I hope you don't find this problematic."
When he said that, Jiraiya watched Naruto into his eyes. Seeing no hatred and anger towards him, Jiraiya sighed in relief.
He knew he had abandoned Naruto and his role as a godfather. Now, he just hoped Naruto didn't hate him.
Naruto's eyes lit up as he said.
"Well, I need someone to train with me. Do you think you can do it, Pervy Sage?"
Jiraiya folded his hand and asked.
"What kind of training? Do you want me to teach you a special Jutsu?"
