Chapter 83: Learning a New Jutsu

"Don't worry about your friend, he is fine, and you will see him soon enough," Jiraiya told him.

The man really thought that Naruto was worried about his teammate, but Naruto was just asking out of pure curiosity. He was the type who liked to know as much as possible.

After all...information was just another form of power.

"But, there was another reason I came to find you," the Sannin said.

"And what would that be?"

"I wanted to offer you my expertise before your final exams." Jiraiya gave him a confident smirk.

"You are offering to train me?" Naruto was going to question why someone with such a high status would want to train him. But the answer was very obvious.

"Is this because of my father? Were you friends or something?"

Jiraiya smiled.

"More than friends! We wer—"

"Lovers?... I see… so even ninjas do that kind of thing." Naruto nodded in understanding.

He never had an interest in that kind of experimentation, but some of his acquaintances had 'dipped their toes' in that world.

"Although I feel bad for his wife… she must have been s—"

"We were not lovers!" Jiraiya wanted to smack his face.

"I was his Sensei!"

"Oh… I see… your teammate, Orochimaru, appears to have an unhealthy amount of interest in younger boys, so I must have jumped to the wrong conclusion… my apologies."

"I thought I made it clear. I am nothing like that man." Jiraiya looked a bit more serious.

He seemed to be more offended by being compared to Orochimaru than anything else.

"So you want to train me…" Naruto said.

'I have finished my breakthrough already, and there is not much else I can do with this remaining week so is not a terrible idea.'

He needed to let his body adapt to its new changes, so he couldn't meditate for at least one more week, otherwise, he could suffer a setback.

Although he did not like the idea of being offered something just because of who his father was...it made him feel like one of those pampered young Masters he had disliked so much in the past.

'But then again, it would be foolish to reject an offer from a powerful ninja like this one,' he thought.

"I accept!."

"Of course you do." Jiraiya returned to his good mood.

"There is only one week left, so there isn't much we can do. But there was one jutsu that I had in mind…"

"And what is that?" he asked.

"First… we must change locations. This forest is too dense for the purpose of learning this jutsu. Come on, get dressed, and let's go. There is no time to waste."

Jiraiya guided him to a large open field right outside the village.

"This will do…"

"Okay, so can you tell me now what you are going to teach me?"

The Sannin took out a scroll and laid it on the ground.

"Have you heard about the Summoning Jutsu?"

"You mean like what Kakashi uses to summon his dogs?" Naruto asked.

"Exactly! But you won't be summoning dogs." Jiraiya opened the scroll and then began to pull out some writing utensils.

Naruto got closer and took a better look.

Several names were written on the green scroll. The last ones were Ogata Shuma Hiroyuki and Minato Namikaze.

"This is the Toad Contract. The clan rarely allows new people to sign it, so you should feel honored," Jiraiya said.

"A clan of toads?" Naruto recalled the talking turtle he had met recently.

"Are there animal ninja clans out there?"

"There are quite a few. But they live too far away, so you would only see those who had been summoned with this jutsu," the Sannin explained.

"I see…" This wasn't too hard to accept for him.

In his old world, he had met several animals who found enlightenment and developed human intelligence and the ability to cultivate.

And not just animals, but also trees, plants, and even mountains could achieve this, given enough time.

'It looks like this place is more advanced than I previously thought.' He was honestly happy to learn this. It just meant there was more to discover out there.

"Here, you have to use this to write your name." Jiraiya handed him a strange quill.

Naruto noted the lack of ink and the peculiar design of the object.

"Use the upper end to make a small cut on your finger," Jiraiya instructed.

Naruto then realized what this was.

"A blood contract…." This was a very serious thing. A contract signed with one's blood was extremely hard to break without suffering terrible consequences, as it was tied to your very own soul.

Naruto could understand why the Toad Clan would demand something like this from their summoners, but he was not going to be careless about this.

He took the scroll and flipped it over so he could read the clauses of the contract.

"You are very cautious, aren't you?" Jiraiya noted.

"Your father did the same thing…." he added.

"I like to know what I am signing for." Naruto read everything very carefully, and Jiraiya didn't interrupt him.

There were things like not being able to purposely bring harm to the Toad Clan or divulge their secrets.

He could not find anything suspicious written on the contract, and the terms seemed reasonable enough.

He put the scroll back the way it was and took the quill in his hands.

After letting a few drops of his blood reach the tip, he signed his name on the scroll and then marked it with his fingerprint, as Jiraiya instructed.

"Congratulations! You are now a contractor of the Toad Clan." Jiraiya closed the scroll and put it aside.

"I will show you how it's done…" He bit one of his fingers, performed a hand sign, and then pushed his right palm on the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!"
