Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Naruto and Jiraiya arrived at the training ground where Naruto had arranged to meet with Stocke to continue his training.

When they arrived Stocke was already there waiting for Naruto.

"What took you so long Naruto?" asked Stocke "And who's your friend?"

"Sorry for being late I was caught in something thanks Ero-sennin over here." said Naruto.

"I told you to stop calling me that!" said Jiraiya angry.

"I'll stop once you show me you aren't an old perverted sage." countered Naruto.

"Anyway, I'm the great Jiraiya." said Jiraiya introducing himself to Stocke while doing a strange pose.

"Jiraiya? Of the sannin?" asked Stocke knowing that name.

"That one yes." said Jiraiya to Stocke before turning to Naruto "See there are people that can recognize me."

"I didn't know you knew a sannin Naruto." said Stocke.

"If he really is a sannin that is." said Naruto "He hasn't done anything to show he's a real sannin. Every time I run into him he's always spying on the woman side of the onsen."

"In that case if you don't mind, could you have a short spar with me?" asked Stocke to Jiraiya "Taijutsu only that way you can show Naruto you are really a sannin and if you really are one I will be able to measure myself to a sannin."

Jiraiya thought about it a little bit before coming to decision "That sounds good. This way I'll finally show the kid that he should respect me." said Jiraiya.

"Thank you." said Stocke "It'll be a three minute spar nothing major just a short spar."

"That's fine with me." said Jiraiya moving to the center of the field with Stocke. Naruto moved to the side of the field to watch the spar.

"Naruto could start our match?" asked Stocke.

"I don't see why not." said Naruto remembering how Hayate had done it in the preliminaries "Are you two ready?"

Both of them nodded.

"In that case, begin!" said Naruto.

As soon as the word begun to left his mouth both combatants flew forward and clashed before being sent back from the clash.

"Not bad" said Jiraiya "But let's begin this for real now."

Jiraiya bolted forward assuming his toad style of taijutsu; Stocke tried using the moment in his advantage by throwing a punch directly at Jiraiya's stomach. But Jiraiya grabbed Stocke's arm and used it as a pivot to throw him to the ground and then he placed a foot on top of Stocke's stomach.

"It seems I can't match to a sannin." said Stocke in the ground "Although Taijutsu is not my forte, I can't fight that well without a sword."

Jiraiya removed his foot from Stocke's stomach and offered him a hand to help him stand up which Stocke took gratefully.

"I could notice you weren't that bad, it was a really short match but I could see you weren't weak." said Jiraiya "But you weren't strong enough to defeat the great Jiraiya."

"That was fast how did you defeated Stock so easily." said Naruto "I've seen him fight and he's pretty strong."

"As I said Naruto I didn't have a sword. Every time you've seen me fight I've had one, taijutsu is not my forte, I'm not bad at it but I wouldn't use it as my first choice." said Stocke.

"You would have probably noticed that if you had been observing the fight." said Jiraiya.

"I was watching the spar, Stocke attacked you but you somehow managed to turn it against him." said Naruto.

"But you have to look closer Naruto." said Jiraiya "Stocke's stance wasn't that great for a taijutsu spar, if he had a better stance the moment I grabbed his arm I wouldn't have been able to lift him from the ground."

"The stance I took was perfect for kenjutsu but this was taijutsu." explained Stocke.

"Do you mind if we repeat that last attack again?" asked Jiraiya to Stocke.

"If it's to show Naruto, I don't mind at all." said Stocke taking the same stance as before.

"This time observe closely Naruto." said Jiraiya as he charged Stocke just as before and just as before when Stocke threw his punch he ended in the ground.

But this time Naruto had seen a little bit more, just as Jiraiya had said Stocke's stance was not great leaving him exposed in some areas

"Now I'll take the same stance again but with my sword in hand." said Stocke standing up and picking his sword that wasn't that far away.

Once he took his stance, it was immediately apparent that there were no openings this time.

"I see, so I should observe my enemies and learn their weakness from their stances." said Naruto.

"That's the ideas." explained Jiraiya "Although observing can be helpful in many other situations." said Jiraiya with a pervert grin in his face.

Before Naruto could reply he was interrupted by a screen appearing in his face.

A new skill has been unlocked

You can use "observe" on other people to see their stats

Observe has a limit, you cannot see stats of people 10 levels above your own level and you can't see the stats of other gamers that are not on your party.

"It was that simple to get a skill to get that information!" thought Naruto "I just needed a small lecture on observing my enemies. I've always wanted to see other people stats, if I had known this could happen earlier I would have found a way to get this skill."

Naruto wanted to try his skill immediately but both Jiraiya and Stocke were more than 10 levels above him so he would have to wait until later. Maybe he could try it with one of the participants of the chunnin exams which resolved his problem with having to spy on them. Now he just needed to know from how far away he could do this and he could probably get information on all the participants really easily.

"Anyways does that prove that I'm a sannin brat." said Jiraiya posing.

"Yeah" said Naruto "but I'll still call you Ero-sennin."

Before Jiraiya could say anything to respond to Naruto, Stocke spoke up.

"By the way, what brings a sannin here anyways? This is just a simple training session with a genin, it doesn't sounds like something a sannin would bother with." said Stocke.

"Ahh well, you see" said Jiraiya thinking "I heard the gaki made it to the final part of the chunnin exams and I'm curious of to how strong are the possible new chunnin."

"I can see that." said Stocke seeing no problem with his answer, except for the fact that it was obviously thought on the spot.

"Then how about I show you how strong I am?" asked Naruto confidently.

"Go ahead gaki, you'll probably not surprise me at all." said Jiraiya

"Ok then check this out!" said Naruto running into the field and unsheathing his sword. Afterwards he concentrated for a little bit using his own chakra to cover his sword in a wind and then swinging forward releasing a horizontal blade of wind that slashed in half a practice dummy that was on the field "Cool isn't it?"

Jiraiya actually looked a little surprised "How do you do that?" asked Jiraiya "Does it involve any type of seal?"

"You know about fuinjutsu?" asked Stocke.

"Are you kidding me?" asked Jiraiya "I'm a funijutsu master; I know countless types of seals."

"Then you should be able to tell what this does at plain sight." said Stocke picking his sword up and removing a small compartment from the hilt to show Jiraiya his fuinjutsu that allowed him to release chakra from his blade.

"I see, with this I understand how the gaki did it" said Jiraiya seeing the seal "He has one of this in his sword as well."

"Sadly you would be wrong." Said Stocke "Naruto doesn't have one of these seals; he can do it without one."

Jiraiya looked surprised once again "He does it on his own!?" asked Jiraiya.

"He does, it surprised me as well that he could do it without it, especially because it took me a lot of trial and error to come out with this seal and he does it on his own." Said Stocke.

"So what did you thought about that move?" asked Naruto.

"That was impressive I must say. It isn't anything that I've seen before, but still it isn't perfect" said Jiraiya "It seems you still need a lot of practice."

"That's what I'm helping him with." said Stocke

"If that didn't impressed you this will." said Naruto doing a simple hand sign that was familiar to the sannin "Kage bunshin no jutsu!"

As soon as Naruto said the name of the jutsu a puff of smoke occurred around the field. When the smoke cleared over 50 clones were visible, making the eyes of the sannin go wide.

"So many clones!?" said Jiraiya looking around.

"Yeah and this isn't even my limit" said Naruto "I can go way over this amount of clones."

"Naruto is way over a chunnin level shinobi in chakra levels alone" said Stocke.

"So what do you think?" asked Naruto dispelling the clones "Think I got a shot at becoming chunnin?"

"This alone is not enough to become a chunnin Gaki" said Jiraiya "And I also heard that this year there's a lot of strong contestants in the chunnin exams. Are you sure you can defeat them?"

"I'm pretty strong and I know I can defeat some of them but I don't know what they are all capable of, since some of them hold back during the preliminaries and the rest are probably going to learn something new during the month we have to train so I'm not really sure about all of them." said Naruto.

"At least you know that you need to know more about your opponents to be sure about your chances" said Jiraiya before turning around as he started to walk away "I think I saw enough about this possible future chunnin I'll be going to do some research."

"Hey Ero-sennin" said Naruto stopping him "If you are that strong I was wondering if you could maybe train me."

Jiraiya stopped and turned around laughing "Me, train a brat like you. No thank you I have other things to do." said Jiraiya "And you already have someone to help you train I would probably just get in the way."

"I think Naruto would be better if he was being thought by a sannin" said Stocke "There's only so much I can help him with but you would be able to teach him a lot of new stuff he doesn't know."

"Come on Ero-sennin is not like you're going to do important stuff, you'll probably just go to an onsen and spy like a simple pervert on the women side." said Naruto.

"I told you I'm not a simple pervert. I'm a super pervert" said Jiraiya posing dramatically "And what I do is research which is really important."

"There must be a way to get you to train me." said Naruto.

"If you could get me a good pair of melons I might consider it." said Jiraiya perversely while moving his hands in a grabbing motion.

"A good pair of melons coming up, I just have to go to the market to get them." said Naruto as he started running out the training grounds until he was stopped by Stocke

"Naruto I don't think he means the type of melons you think he means" said Stocke.

"And what type of melons does he means?" asked Naruto not understanding

Stocke sighted and looked at Jiraiya a little disappointed since his imagine of the sannin had gotten down since he met him then he walked towards Naruto and whispered something to his ear.

Naruto jumped backwards and looked at Stocke with wide eyes and then he looked towards Jiraiya who just nodded his head.

"I can't go out and get something like that." said Naruto "But if I have no other choice I'll just a jutsu I made a long time ago in the academy, I had almost forgotten I made it."

"A jutsu that will make me change my mind and make me train you?" asked Jiraiya

"Exactly with this jutsu I will fulfill your request and you will have to train me" said Naruto although he looked a little embarrassed "Here goes"

Naruto then did a normal transformation jutsu sign and he transformed in a puff of smoke as the smoke dispelled a little bit a female version of Naruto with big breast wearing a revealing bikini could be seen this immediately made Jiraiya's nose bleed so much he was sent flying backwards to the ground.

Naruto dispelled the transformation and approach Jiraiya to see if he was alright. He was fine he was only unconscious.

"What was that jutsu Naruto?" asked Stocke slowly.

"It was a jutsu I made in the academy to annoy both the Hokage and Iruka-sensei" said Naruto "I haven't have any reason to use it since then, I almost forgot about it until Ero-sennin with his perverseness made me remember it."

Right then Jiraiya recovered consciousness and stood up in an instance.

"That may have been the strongest jutsu I have seen in my whole life" said Jiraiya "It will defeat any pervert you find in the battlefield."

"You are seriously telling him to use that jutsu mid battle!?" asked Stocke surprised.

"You saw the effect it had in me, it could be one devastating jutsu to someone that isn't expecting it." said Jiraiya seriously

"In any case I completed your request so you have to train me now!" said Naruto getting Jiraiya's attention.

"That's true, but you better get ready kid I will not be easy on you." said Jiraiya pointing at Naruto.

Naruto smiled seeing that Jiraiya was going to train him "Yes with the help of a sannin I will be invincible." said Naruto.

"Ok then let's get to it" said Stocke.

Some hours later

Naruto was on his way back home after the day of training. He thought that having a sannin train him was going to help but the Ero-sennin only observed and sent him to do more chakra control exercises while he took a rest, luckily Stocke stayed and helped him train some of the things he really wanted to train like his fire chakra control which he now handled in the basic level.

Basic fire chakra manipulation

Lets the user use basic fire based jutsus, it also increases the chakra control of the user, it opens new perk at the perk book.

He would definitely get the Ero-sennin to teach him something before the chunnin exams but for now he was going to get some rest.

Naruto was surprised to find someone waiting for him at his front door.

"Freaking finally, I've been waiting for almost half an hour" said Karin seeing Naruto appear.

"Hi Karin" said Naruto "Were you waiting for me?"

"Of course I was I told you that I would tell you if I decided to stay here in Konoha didn't I?" said Karin.

"Are you going to stay in Konoha!?" asked Naruto excited that maybe he would have family close by for once.

"Yes I'll stay, there's no one waiting for me back in my village anyways and I was carrying all my stuff so why not" said Karin with a smile on her face.

"That's great! Have you told Jiji yet?" said Naruto happily.

"The Hokage?" asked Karin for confirmation for which Naruto nodded "Yeah I already spoke with him and I also told him that I won't be staying in the Uzumaki compound."

"Why not?" asked Naruto "You said you had no place to stay here in Konoha that would be perfect."

"I found it a little unfair towards you" said Karin "You've been waiting to see that place for longer than I have so I want you to be the first to see it. The Hokage said that it was a little problematic but he would arrange for me to stay somewhere else."

Naruto hadn't thought about it that way but now that he thought about it, it was true that he really wanted to see the Uzumaki compound; it probably had some of the personal belongings of his parents amongst other stuff.

"Thank you" said Naruto.

"No problem" said Karin "Anyways the Hokage said that I would get a small class about Konoha and other stuff tomorrow just so I don't get in trouble and that I needed to learn clan related stuff from you since you are the clan heir or something like, but I suppose that can wait until the chunnin exams ends, since I don't want to distract you from your training."

"That would be great since I still need to train a lot" said Naruto.

"Good, anyways I have to get going my class starts early in the morning, see you later Naruto." said Karin.

"See you later." said Naruto as Karin left.

This was great he finally had someone that he could call family. He was close with his teammates and his friends but this was different, somehow it felt different and it made him happy.

"Ok then I better get some rest so that I can train my fullest tomorrow." said Naruto to himself while he entered his apartment.

Three days later

Naruto was training in the training field with Jiraiya trying to get better at his skills, but once again having the sannin with him wasn't helping much.

Stocke hadn't been able to come to help him in his training today since he had to take care of his daughter for the day.

"Hey Ero-sennin when will you teach me something good, I have great chakra control already" said Naruto "Just look at this."

Naruto took his sword in hand and covered it in normal chakra and then sliced almost immediately creating a horizontal wave that made a big cut in a target dummy, Almost immediately after the sword was covered in chakra again showing that Naruto had enough control to cover it quickly with almost no delay.

"You're right you have great control" said Jiraiya "Maybe is time I finally teach you something."

"What are you going to teach me!?" asked Naruto excited any skill that a sannin thought him was probably pretty strong.

"Here watch this" said Jiraiya biting his thumb and doing some hand seals, he then slammed his hand at the ground "Summoning jutsu!"

Just then an array of symbols appeared at the ground where Jiraiya slammed his hand and then a big puff smoke; when the smoke cleared Naruto saw a really big toad besides Jiraiya.

"Wow!" said Naruto surprised by the sudden appearance of the toad.

"Sorry for bothering you Gama, but I was going to have this gaki sign the summoning contract" said Jiraiya.

Gama croaked handing Jiraiya a big scroll.

"Come here Gaki, signing this contract will allow you to perform the summoning technique to summon toad." said Jiraiya.

"I will be able to summons toads as big as that one!?" asked Naruto.

"And some even bigger, now come here, all you have to do is sign in blood and then put your finger prints in blood down here." said Jiraiya opening the scroll.

"Here?" asked Naruto pointing at a blank space.

"Exactly" said Jiraiya.

Naruto got closer to the scroll and got ready to sign the contract but then a screen appeared in front of him

You are about to sign the "Toad summoning contract" are you sure you want to continue?

"Is there anything I should know before signing the contract?" asked Naruto trying to find out if there was any downside or limitation.

"Just the initial blood for the contract and then a little bit of blood and your chakra whenever you summon something." said Jiraiya.

"And if I signed this will I be able to sign another one or will I only be able to have one contract?" asked Naruto.

Jiraiya took a pose of deep thought "I don't really know, I haven't asked that" said Jiraiya "Do you know Gama?"

The toad Gama croaked and then shook his head.

"So you don't know either" said Jiraiya "From what I know it would probably depend on the animal species you make the contract, if the toads agree they might let you sign a second one or something like that. But why do you want to know, do you have another contract?"

"No I don't have another contract, I was just wondering" said Naruto.

"In that case just sign the contract already!" said Jiraiya.

"Ok, ok I'll do it" said Naruto hitting the yes button on the screen and then biting his thumb to get some blood.

Naruto then signed as Jiraiya had told him and then placed his fingers under his name finishing the contract.

Gama then took the scroll and disappeared in smoke.

You have signed the "Toad Summoning contract" and can now use the summoning jutsu.

You gain a new skill

Summoning jutsu

This skill allows you to summon the appropriate animal species which with you have signed a contract.

"With that you can now use the summoning technique to summon toads" said Jiraiya "Do you remember the hand signs I used?"

"Yeah want me to try it?" asked Naruto.

"Go ahead" said Jiraiya.

Naruto then bit his thumb once again and did the hand signs as he remembered them and slammed his hand in the ground making the summoning array appear, then from a puff of smoke a small toad appeared.

"Yo, where am I?" asked the toad.

"I summoned something!" said Naruto.

"Is larger than what I thought it would be." said Jiraiya impressed.

"Did you summon me?" asked the toad "I'm Gamakishi.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki pleased to meet you." said Naruto.

"Well if you want to summon me later, I was doing something, see you later" said Gamakishi vanishing in a puff.

"Can he just do that?" asked Naruto surprised that Gamakishi just left.

"Yes they can" said Jiraiya "Anyways were not done yet, you have to summon at least something twice as big as Gama."

"The toad you summoned earlier?" asked Naruto.

"Exactly, now keep going and practice a lot." said Jiraiya turning around and walking away with a perverted laugh "While you do that I'll go do some research."

Naruto was too distracted by the new ability he had gotten that he didn't bothered to answer Jiraiya, he really wanted to try and summon something big.

Decided to end it there, sorry for the super long delay but I was super busy and only had little time to write, luckily it seems to have calmed down a bit so I can write a little more now. With some luck I'll return to a faster update schedule soon.
