Hokage: Ryo's Path

Chapter 417



After Jiraiya fell, the summoned Iron Arm Toad was released and returned to Mount Myoboku.

Naruto walked over, kicked Jiraiya, and found him not moving. He did really pass out.

“Whoa, Kurama! It really works! How did you know his weakness?”

Kyuubi laughed. “Haha! It’s thanks to Kushina! She always complained to me when they lived together.

Minato’s Ero-sensei is arrogant and likes peeping in the bathhouse. This kind of man is weak against beautiful women. So it’s a perfect strategy against him.”

It took a while before Jiraiya regained consciousness. With hazy eyes, he looked at Naruto excitedly. “Boy, you’re really a genius!”

Naruto snorted coldly. “Hmph! Of course, I am! Old man, you should wipe your nosebleed first!”

Jiraiya smiled awkwardly. He turned around and cleaned his face.

After cleaning his face, Jiraiya brought over a serious topic. “Boy, you’re very good. From now on, you will be my disciple. But as a teacher, I need you to perform it once a day.”

Naruto twitched his lips. “Perform? No way! What if you lose too much blood and die?”

“Hah! Gama Sennin won’t die easily! If you agree to do it, I’ll teach you a special Jutsu right now.”

“Special Jutsu? What is it?” Hearing this, Naruto asked out of curiosity.

“It’s the Summoning Jutsu I just used. You’ve fought with an iron arm toad before. Aside from him, my other summoned beast had the ability to fight against a Bijuu.”

Hearing this, Naruto was startled. He was a Jinchuuriki. He knew Bijuu’s power. He was excited when he heard the summoned beast could fight off a Bijuu.

However, under Ryo and Kushina’s teaching, his Willpower was strong. Against the temptation, Naruto still maintained his calmness and didn’t immediately agree with Jiraiya. Instead, he talked about it first with Kyuubi.

“Kurama, is this man telling the truth? A summoned beast could fight off Bijuu?”

Kyuubi nodded. “It’s true. Jiraiya is the summoner of Mount Myoboku. The toad living there had huge bodies. This kind of toad could really resist against a Bijuu for a while. But that’s all, just resisting, they can’t defeat Bijuu.”

“But being able to resist a Bijuu is good enough. This Jutsu seems promising.” Naruto said excitedly.

After hearing Kyuubi’s opinion, Naruto agreed to Jiraiya’s conditions. Jiraiya summoned a toad, gave the toad in charge of the summoning contract, and let Naruto write his name on it and press the hand seal.

Since then, Naruto and Jiraiya had officially become Mount Myoboku’s summoner.

Just after Naruto signed the contract, Mount Myoboku’s Great Toad Sage suddenly woke up from his slumber.

The Great Toad Sage’s eyes opened, murmuring to himself. “I didn’t expect to feel this aura after years.” After that, he closed his eyes again and fell into a deep slumber.

Jiraiya taught Naruto the Summoning Jutsu seal. Instead of talking with Naruto, he took his notebook and started writing.

Naruto practiced countless times on his own. After being familiar with the seal, he cautiously injected a small amount of Chakra in his hand seal. With a white mist, a small toad appeared.

Jiraiya smirked when he saw Naruto’s first summon. Naruto was flustered. After being started by Jiraiya, he performed hand seals again.

This time, he put all of his Chakra in it. After a white mist, a big toad appeared in front of him.

“Jiraiya, do you want me to do something? Is there something I should record?”

Shaking his head, Jiraiya pointed to Naruto. “No, not really. In fact, not at all. This is my new disciple. He was practicing Summoning Jutsu. I didn’t think he would actually be able to summon you.”

Scroll Toad followed Jiraiya’s pointed direction and turned to see Naruto. “Huh? This kid looks familiar! I think I’ve seen him somewhere.”

Jiraiya just laughed without explaining. After Scroll toad greeted Naruto, he returned to Mount Myoboku.

“Boy, you’re doing great! But it’s not enough. You know, there was a guy who could summon the strong toad in his first summoning. He’s amazing!”

Hearing this, Naruto’s spirit burned, and he practiced harder. After that, he managed to summon the Iron Arm Toad, Dragon Toad, and Loyal Toad.

After practicing the summoning, Naruto felt like he had mastered this Jutsu.

After discussing with Kyuubi, Naruto borrowed Kyuubi’s Chakra and formed hand seals.

This time, his summoning produced a huge white mist. When the mist dissipated, a huge toad appeared in the forest.

Glancing at sleeping Jiraiya, and from iron arm toad’s words, he immediately understood that the new summoner had summoned him. With this in mind, Gamabuntai spoke to Naruto on top of his head. “Hey, kid! Get off my head before I get angry!”

Naruto froze and spoke in a serious tone. “But why? I summoned you. Doesn’t that mean I’ve become your master? You should obey my orders.”

Gamabunta laughed. “Haha! I haven’t heard a funny thing for a while now. Boy, listen well. The relationship between summoner and summon is not a master and a slave. We’re equal. Boy, tell me. What’s your name?”

“My name is Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto!”

Hearing this, Gamabunta was stunned. “Uzumaki? You’re from Uzumaki Clan?”

Naruto nodded. “Un! My mother is Uzumaki Kushina.”

“Kushina? Ahem... of course... No wonder you can summon me at such a young age. Since you’re Kushina’s child, then from now on, you’re my little brother. Summon me whenever you need my help, and I will help you fight.”

“Perfect! Thank you, boss!” Naruto smiled wide.

Gamabunta nodded and canceled the summoning contract and returned to Mount Myoboku.

...........

At Mount Myoboku.

As soon as Gamabunta returned, he told the Sennin, Fukasaku, and Shima about the news that Minato’s son had become a summoner of Mount Myoboku.

Both Sennin expressed their support. Fukasaku Sennin was born to meet Naruto.

Naruto, who was still training with Jiraiya, had no idea he was being mentioned. He showed off his training results to Jiraiya.
