A couple hours passed and Jiraiya finally joined them, a grin from ear to ear on his face.
"What's got you so happy?" asked Asuma.
"Had to chase those Kusa morons out of the village and back toward their border for nearly an hour before I turned back. I may have left a few toads to continue the chase to make sure they get back across the border."
Asuma chuckled. "Poor bastards."
"How's the kid doing?"
"Good, he's got one shadow clone working on tree climbing, the other is trying to refine control of wind. Karin is sharpening her kunai and a shuriken accuracy."
"What about the real Naruto?"
"He's playing target for Karen, says he's using it to improve his dexterity."
"What do you think about this whole 'gamer' thing the kids got going on?"
"What 'gamer' thing?"
"He didn't tell you?"
"No, mind explaining?"
So Jiraiya explained what he knew of it.
"That actually explains so much. Just before this latest group became genin, two of my students started hanging out with Naruto a lot. Before I knew it they were improving not just quickly but in drastic ways. It seems I owe the kid a lot."
"Huh, he's a good one, like his parents."
"If you say so," said Asuma, pretending he had no idea what the Sannin was talking about.
"Naruto, how long until you're done with your dexterity?" called Jiraiya.
Naruto kept dodge and scrambling to avoid Karin's attack. "A couple hours probably."
"Alright, cut that out for now, you two can resume flirting later."
"Ero-Sennin!" howled Karin and Naruto together.
Jiraiya just laughed. "Get over here already."
Naruto and Karin ran toward the old man.
"So what have you got for me, Ero-Sennin?"
"And me?" asked Karin.
Jiraiya tossed two scrolls to Karin. "You can work on those. Naruto can give you a clone to practice the genjutsu on."
"Ooh, a new genjutsu [Genjutsu Shibari] and an iryojutsu [Chakra no Mesu]," both of them going up in flame a second later.
"What the hell?" shouted Asuma.
"What? I just learned them both," explained Karin with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Did you know about this?" Asuma asked, looking at Jiraiya.
"Yeah, saw it happen earlier. Didn't I tell you about that?"
"No, and does Karin have the gamer thing too?"
"No, she's in a team with Naruto that allows her to use some of the game features. One of which is learning instantly from skill books or scrolls. Naruto can do the same thing."
"That's some straight up bullshit," whined Asuma. "What's the point of training then?"
"Just because I learn the skill doesn't mean I'm any good with it. I have to train it to make stronger if I want it to be useful. That takes a shitload of time, not to mention I still have to train my body and mind," Naruto argued with the jounin.
"I suppose," said Asuma. "Still, that's a pretty overpowered ability isn't it?"
"Hell yeah!" Naruto shouted with a giant grin.
Asuma couldn't help but chuckle at Naruto's enthusiasm. "Well, in that case I guess you can have these." The man pulled out two scrolls and handed them to Naruto.
You've obtained the skill scroll [Beginner Chakra-To].
Would you like to learn the skill?
Naruto immediate hit the accept button.
[Beginner Chakra-To (Passive) Lv1 Exp: 0.00%]
Chakra-To blades are used to enhance your close range combat capabilities.
Passively increases chakra-to weapon damage 15%
Passively increases chakra-to weapon critical strike chance 5%
Naruto was giddy after learning that one.
You've obtained the skill scroll [Futon: Daitoppa no Jutsu]
Would you like to learn the skill?
Naruto again hit the accept button.
[Futon: Daitoppa no Jutsu (Active) Lv1 Exp: 0.00% CP: 100]
A C-Rank ninjutsu. A relatively simple technique that creates a sudden gust of wind. Inflicts 1-75 Directional Cone Damage. (Damage reduces the further you are from the target)
"Ooh, I like."
"Yeah, well, let's get you some practice using them. Depending on where we're at I have a few more jutsu I might be willing to teach you," offered Asuma.
"Right, well, my clones are all yours sir," said Naruto, creating another clone for Asuma.
"Okay, my turn, kid," said Jiraiya. The man formed a few quick hand seals then slammed a hand on the ground, calling out the technique for Naruto. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
There was burst of smoke obscuring everything from view, before a gust of wind cleared it out to reveal a large orange toad with blue markings, holding a large scroll in its mouth.
"This is Gama, he's the holder of the Gama Kuchiyose contract. A contract you're going to sign," instructed Jiraiya.
The toad then spit the contract out, the thing unrolling upon contact with the ground.
Naruto knelt down in front of it to see the various signatures. And in the slot just before the first blank was his father's. He took a moment to run his fingers over the writing, it was cleaner than his own writing, a bit fancier maybe.
"Draw a bit of blood from your hand and sign your name with it," instructed Jiraiya.
Naruto bit into his thumb drawing blood easily enough, then smearing some on his forefinger then writing his name, trying to mimic his father's writing.
