Chapter 025

"You little brat, how dare you," Tsunade stated in indignation, "For that, tomorrow when we spar, I'm going to kick your ass twice as hard!"

"…," Naruto grimaced at the anticipation of being bruised up and beaten on a more harsher level, "…Just give me my money, so that the next we gamble, you'll start off twice as broke!"

And so it began, mother and son verbally battling it out for supremacy. Shizune shook her head before letting out a sigh. Gambling was a habit that she was hoping Naruto wouldn't pick up on. Sad to say, some of her sensei's bad habits and temper rubbed off on him, and whenever those two gambled against each other, it always ended with them arguing. It amazed Shizune though that Naruto acquired Tsunade's super strength and not her bad streak at gambling. Kakashi was aware of how hard Tsunade could be on Naruto when it came to training and sparring with him. For what it's worth, Kakashi definitely didn't want to switch places with him.

(Two Weeks Later)

Naruto and Jiraiya were back together at the training ground. Jiraiya was most pleased with the amazing progress Naruto have been making over the years. His intelligence, fighting style, speed, strength and stamina was currently Sannin level. Naruto though was yet to reach Kage level; along with everything else he was being trained in by Minato, Jiraiya and Tsunade, but was making progress in doing so in mind and body.

And speaking of Tsunade, Naruto winced at the memory of his spar with his mother two weeks ago. True to her word, the Hokage inflicted kicks, punches and headbutts on him that were indeed twice as hard during their sparring session. He lost consciousness after the brutal sparring was over. Although Tsunade fully healed him, he'd cringe a bit from just remembering the event. He was amazed that he didn't die from the experience alone.

Now I know how ero-jisan feels whenever he's beaten up by kaa-chan, Naruto thought, Kaa-chan is such a sore loser.

"OK Naruto," Jiraiya started, "Today I'm going to teach two new jutsus. But first I'm going to talk to you about elemental jutsu."

"Elemental jutsu?"

"That's right," Jiraiya stated as he looked directly at Naruto, "There are five elements that form the basis of everything in the world; Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Lightning. The five great nations and hidden villages match to these elements. Sunagakure is in Wind nation whereas Konohagakure is in the Fire nation."

Naruto responded nodding his head.

"Everyone is aligned to a particular element and whenever they use ninjutsu's of their primary element it's easier to control and is stronger."

"Primary element," Naruto asked with curiosity.

"Take for example the Uchiha clan. In the past, their primary element was fire. When they used jutsus that were fire attacks, they were stronger and had easier time controlling those attacks than other elemental attacks they knew of."

"How do you know they were a fire elemental clan," Naruto asked.

"We test for elements to learn what element we are."

At that Jiraiya pulled out a thin card from his pocket and handed it to Naruto who grasped it as he looked at it questionably.

"What do I do with this?"

"Simply channel chakra into the card and it will show you which element you are," Jiraya instructed. Nodding Naruto channeled his chakra into the card , which ripped in two.

"Interesting; you're a Wind elemental just like your father Minato. Seems you're a real chip off the old block," Jiraiya smirked, "Leaf Nins who are primary wind elementals are very rare. And since that you're a wind elemental that makes it easier for me to teach you this seal-less jutsu."

"A seal-less jutsu," Naruto repeated in disbelief, "I never heard of such a jutsu."

Grinning, Jiraiya focused charka into his right hand and compressed it into a fist-sized ball.

"Rasengan," Jiraiya yelled out as he launched the deadly attack at a tree. Upon impact the tree burst into sawdust and millions of tiny splinter. Naruto's eyes widened upon seeing the devastating power behind such an attack.

"Wow," Naruto shouted in amazement, "That was incredible!"

"It is a powerful attack; it's one of your father's trademark attacks which he created."

Naruto's eyes widened again on hearing this revelation; he knew that his familial ancestors were experts in creating and master jutsus, but he never once thought that seal-less was possible.

"My father created that?"

"Yes," Jiraiya confirmed, "It took him three years to create and master it."

"Three years to create and master," Naruto repeated in disbelief.

"That's right and it took him four months to teach it to me. I don't know how long it'll take you to master it, but hopefully it won't take as long as it did your father and me."

Naruto nodded before Jiraiya continued, "I'll explain and demonstrate how the Rasengan is done. After that I'll teach you Shunshin No Jutsu."

"Shunshin No Jutsu?"

"Yes," Jiraiya said, "It's a D-class teleportation jutsu that uses a jutsu marker placed on either the human, object or the location the user seeks to go to. Shunshin doesn't emit any signature. The user simply vanishes, and can only travel to one target. Minato however created an ever stronger and more advanced jutsu. This being the Hiraishin No Jutsu, which is an S-class jutsu. This jutsu earned your father the name Konoha's Yellow Flash as you already know. Unlike the Shunshin, Hirashin uses the tri-tipped kunai and formula seals to allow the user to travel to where the kunai is, however it also permits the user to travel to another kunai of the same type. Hiraishin emits a yellow flash when used.

"This technique is particularly effective on large numbers of enemies. During his time as Hokage, Minato would simply distribute his special kunais to ally ninjas and tell them to throw them at different targets at the same time, then simply teleport to the locations and finish off his opponents. This attack can literally defeat a whole army almost instantly."

"Do you know how to perform the Hiraishin," Naruto asked with eagerness to learn that jutsu.

"That's a trademark jutsu your father never taught me since Hiraishin consumes a lot of chakra. Shunshin on the other hand consumes less chakra than the Hirashin No Jutsu."

Naruto nodded with a smirk; he could only imagine the kind of monkey business he could cause after learning the Hiraishin. Naruto was about to say something but suddenly passed out and fell to the ground. Caught off guard by this, Jiraiya ran over to Naruto and checked to see if the boy was alright. He examined him and saw that nothing was thrown or shot at the boy, but that Naruto mysteriously slipped into a state of unconsciousness.
