"If you two are done messing around, Naruto needs to practice summoning the larger toads," answered Jiraiya.
"Cool, can I stick around?"
"Sure," said Jiraiya. "Just make sure you put in a good word for Naruto no matter who he summons."
"I can do that," said Kichi.
Before Naruto could try to summon again he received another alert.

"Hold on, I need to make a new clone to train with Asuma-sensei," said Naruto, forming another clone sucking up half his chakra in an instant. He then sat and used [Raiton: Chakra Denka no Jutsu] to replenish the spent chakra, only to apply a [Shosen Fuda] to himself to heal the damage.
"Ready?" asked Jiraiya, seeing Naruto finally standing again.
"I think so, how much chakra do you want me to use this time?"
"How much have you got?"
"A little over forty-six hundred," he answered.
"Then use forty-five hundred and see what you get.
Naruto widened his eyes a bit, that would be the most chakra he'd ever used in one go. "I've never used that much at once. Is it safe?"
"Of course," he answered.
"Okay," said Naruto, unable to prevent feeling slightly nervous.
Once again, handseals done and funneling chakra into the technique, it taking a fair amount of time to channel that much chakra. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu," he said as he allowed the technique to finish.
Naruto found himself suddenly elevated several dozen meters above the ground. When the smoke cleared he found himself standing atop a massive hulking pale blue-green frog.
"Uncle Gamaken," shouted Kichi in amusement.
Naruto looked around at the massive toad. He appeared to be wearing a simple waste band that served only to hold two massive swords in place.
Gamaken Lv?
Naruto opened the familiar window again and it now had an arrow near the image of Kichi. Naruto tapped it and the screen image changed to Gamaken. Sadly for Naruto the screen was filled with nothing but question marks on his skills and stats.
"Who summoned me?"
"I did," said Naruto, introducing himself. "My name is Naruto. I just signed the contact today. See, there's Jiraiya-sensei down there."
"Ah, I see, do you need me to fight someone?"
"No, just training in summoning," he answered.
"Ah, I'm going home," he said before vanishing in a cloud of smoke.
Naruto was not happy about that because he was still in the air and left to fall to probably several broken limbs if he survived at all. Thankfully, Jiraiya came through for him and caught him.
"Thanks for the save, Ero-Sennin."
"Yeah, yeah, brat, whatever. Good job summoning Hiro. I think maybe five hundred more chakra points and you might be able to summon Gamabunta, the boss toad."
"I don't have more chakra than that, I guess it will be awhile before I can summon him," replied Naruto.
"Probably, but you have another option," he said, jabbing a finger into Naruto's gut.
"Kyuubi? I've used its chakra in the past but I don't know how I did it."
"Well, we're going to have to work on doing it by choice. It's a valuable tool if you can master it. For now though, we need you to just be able to call on his chakra at will."
"How do we do that?" asked Naruto.
"Well, we have a couple options. We can put you in life threatening danger."
"Pass," said Naruto flatly.
"Or you can try meditation. With your 'gamer' thing, that may be the best option."
"Okay, how do I meditate?"
"You sit down, quiet your mind, and let the world fade away," he answered.
"That doesn't sound too hard."
"Ha, just wait until you try it," laughed Jiraiya.
"That laugh makes me think it's a lot harder than I think."
"Cause it is. No time like the present, get to it, kid."
Naruto sat down as ordered, closing his eyes. He tried to clear his head but he kept reviewing all the new shit he'd learned today in addition to needing to train up Gamakichi. He also wondered how his friends were, how their training was going and if they worried about him at all.
"Stop kid, what are you thinking about?"
"What I've learned today, my friends."
"Okay, let's just start by letting go of what you learned today. You've got a lot of time to train all of those things, but this needs to be your focus. This skill, technique, whatever you want to call it is important, more than any of those."
Once Jiraiya put it in perspective like that it was easy to focus on letting that information go. He had time to practice, to learn and improve. And just like that the only thing running through his head was concern for his friends.
