Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 245 Making Dumplings

Naruto stood there somewhat bewildered, staring at the empty ground before him, now devoid of the giant toad, his mind still a little fuzzy.

Just now, Jiraiya saw that Naruto had actually summoned the Great Toad Sage, and was so frantic that he hurriedly told Naruto to immediately cancel the jutsu.

The very next second that the Great Toad Sage's figure slowly dissipated with a puff of smoke, Jiraiya himself also vanished in a puff of smoke with a "bang"—clearly, he had been urgently summoned back to Mount Myōboku to explain why his patriarch had suddenly "run away from home."

Naruto never expected that his first attempt at the Summoning Jutsu from Mount Myōboku would result in summoning the Great Toad Sage... He actually managed to summon Haki-sen?

Even the Sage of Six Paths, hundreds of years ago, was politely refused when he tried to sign a summoning contract with the Great Toad Sage. Could it be that he... accomplished something even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't?

After a while, accompanied by a puff of smoke, Jiraiya reappeared. He slumped to the ground, let out a long sigh, and vigorously wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Really..." he muttered with lingering fear. Although the Great Toad Sage had only disappeared for a short while, the sudden disappearance of the leader had greatly worried Fukasaku and Shima, and the entire Mount Myōboku was almost in an uproar! Jiraiya spent a lot of time explaining and apologized on Naruto's behalf.

However, the two men didn't blame him too much; instead, they were more shocked. They were amazed by Naruto's talent and chakra, that he could actually summon the Great Toad Sage directly... After all, this was the first time such a thing had ever happened since the existence of Mount Myōboku!

Fortunately, it was clarified that it was just a misunderstanding, and the Great Toad Sage hadn't disappeared out of thin air, so things finally calmed down.

Jiraiya turned his gaze back to Naruto, and seeing the tense expression on his face, like a child who had accidentally caused trouble… he felt a sense of relief. Good, it seems that possessing such power hasn't made him arrogant.

He slowly stood up, deliberately using an exaggerated tone. "Naruto, Naruto, you almost gave me a heart attack! I never expected that your first use of the Summoning Jutsu would summon the founder of Mount Myōboku! Even when I go to see the Grand Master, I can only be 'summoned,' but you, you just 'summon' him directly..."

His tone sounded more like surprise than blame.

"However, this isn't entirely your fault." Jiraiya resumed his serious explanation. "The essence of Summoning Jutsu is 'using one's own chakra as a price to summon a summoned beast.' Your chakra reserves... are truly outrageous. I originally estimated that the chakra needed to summon Gamabunta would be more than enough for you, but this excessive amount of chakra, by some twist of fate, directly targeted and successfully summoned the highest-ranking being of Mount Myōboku, the one who theoretically requires the most chakra to connect with—the Great Toad Sage."

He patted Naruto on the shoulder, his tone filled with undisguised admiration and even a hint of envy. "To be able to summon the Great Toad Sage in one go… your chakra reserves and potential are truly monstrous!"

Hearing Jiraiya's teasing yet blameless words, Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this unexpected "accident" would not affect his subsequent learning of Sage Mode.

Next, unsure whether continuing to use the Summoning Jutsu would summon the Great Toad Sage again, Jiraiya decisively stopped practicing the Summoning Jutsu.

He pondered to himself, if it was because Naruto's total chakra was too enormous that he directly locked onto the highest being of Mount Myōboku, then... would it be possible to summon other toads normally by first consuming a portion of his chakra?

Thus, the training program naturally moved into the part that Naruto had been looking forward to for a long time—making Rasengan, or more precisely, training in the nature transformation of the Rasengan.

【Spiral Wheel】Due to its extreme internal compression characteristics, apart from the Nine-Tails' chakra itself, chakra of other attributes will be forcibly crushed and fused into that destructive energy ball, making it impossible to produce stable nature changes, and therefore it is difficult to generate new variations of the ninjutsu.

However, the Rasengan is different! As the ultimate form of transformation, it possesses extremely high inclusiveness and adaptability. Naruto had long wanted to try incorporating various chakra natures into the Rasengan to see what kind of wonderful combinations could be created.

Watching Naruto immediately immerse himself in the task and keep trying, Jiraiya felt he could finally take a short break. He leaned leisurely against a large tree, pulled out a gourd from somewhere, and began to drink with relish.

Meanwhile, after a period of focused experimentation and precise manipulation of chakra, Naruto successfully created his first composite Rasengan!

A Rasengan, its inner core shimmering with golden light and its outer layer a fiery orange hue like a burning flame, was spinning rapidly in his palm.

It radiates astonishing heat, and tiny flames even flicker and dance on the surface of the sphere from time to time.

Naruto looked excitedly at the new technique in his hand, which contained the power of a violent fire release, and announced,

"I've made up my mind! This technique will be named—[Flame Dance of Light: Crimson Lotus Wings Burning Heaven Rasengan]!"

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

Jiraiya, who was initially proud of Naruto's rapid mastery of nature transformation, choked on his sake and coughed violently upon hearing the extremely long and melodramatic name.

While Jiraiya was pleased that Naruto had inherited his father's talent in developing ninjutsu, his naming skills... well, let's just say they shouldn't have it! How on earth did that father and son remember such long names?!

However, ninjutsu is, after all, the developer's own "child." Although Jiraiya thought the name was a bit outrageous, he still held back his urge to complain and said nothing.

Immediately afterward, he saw Naruto hurl the [Flame Dance Spinning Light: Crimson Lotus Soaring Wings Burning Heaven Rasengan] at a distant open space. The effect of the ninjutsu wasn't a simple explosion; rather, the Rasengan's high-speed rotation first subjected the target area to terrifying crushing and tearing. Then, the Fire Release chakra compressed to its limit within erupted completely, instantly forming a small, continuously burning, and ever-expanding fiery tornado!

One can imagine that in actual combat, this fiery tornado would easily pull the enemy into it, subjecting them to continuous burning and crushing blows.

Seeing Naruto enthusiastically preparing to develop Rasengans with other attribute variations, completely absorbed in the process, Jiraiya felt that he didn't need Jiraiya's guidance for the time being.

A slightly lewd smile crept across his face—since he wasn't needed for the time being… Jiraiya's return to Konoha this time was also because he missed the customs and traditions of Konoha.
