"That's the secret of the technique!" Jiraiya chuckles.

Permalink

"Are you gonna tell me or do I just gotta figure it out?"

Sasuke sometimes does the 'teaching by asking questions' thing. It's annoying.

"Also do you got a cool technique for Chihiro, since me an' Sasuke are both learning something now?"

Permalink

"It's more educational this way."

Permalink

"I do not require one," Chihiro says, taking a momentary break.

Permalink

"You are pretty scary already," he says cheerfully to his teammate, "Though being scarier doesn't hurt." And to Jiraiya: "I'll learn the thing, I guess. What's the basics?"

Splitting his clones' attention like this is gonna cause a headache but Naruto also doesn't want to let this opportunity slip away...

Permalink

"We'll need some supplies first."

Permalink

"And you didn't come prepared?"

Permalink

"It's very delicate, specialized equipment!" Jiraiya sounds scandalized. "Not the sort of thing I just carry around carelessly all the time."

Permalink

"Sure. You gonna go get it, then?"

Permalink

"If you don't want to come with me, yes."

Permalink

"It sounds fun but I gotta keep working on this wind technique, too, and it's easier to like manage the memories if I have warning a clone's gonna pop."

Permalink

"Fine then. I'll be back!" Jiraiya grins. "Don't have too much fun without me."

Permalink

"Sure."

And back to terrorizing trees!

Permalink

Jiraiya is back in about as much time as it takes to get to the shops and back. The specialized, delicate equipment is... water balloons.

Permalink

He rolls his eyes. Water balloons - hrm, he's not good at picking techniques apart like Sasuke...

"So... What're those for?"

Permalink

"Your sensei's Chidori might be called the ultimate form of chakra nature manipulation," Jiraiya explains. "Rasengan, on the other hand, is the pinnacle of chakra shape manipulation. The first step is to learn how to use your chakra to spin the water inside the balloon."

Permalink

"So if me and Sasuke do a combo we get the ultimate ninjutsu?"

Also balloons! He has himself (the main) and two clones dedicated to this.

Permalink

"If you had the unsurpassed and frankly unprecedented coordination to do so, perhaps. Not even the Fourth got that far, and this was his technique to begin with."

Permalink

"We're Team Awesome, so of course we're gonna blow everyone else out of the water. And neat! Was he trying to add nature stuff?"

The Fourth is kind of his hero.

Permalink

"The last time we talked, he was."

Permalink

"Cool! So he taught it to you, then? Any tips?"

Permalink

Jiraiya winks. "Concentrate."

Permalink

Eyeroll. 

And to work on swooshing the water around!

...This is hard!

Permalink

"Keep at it, kid, you'll get there eventually." Jiraiya begins telling a long, rambly story about a time he went swimming with the toads at Mt. Myoboku and got trapped in a whirlpool.

Permalink

 - Naruto sets a clone to switching attention between Jiraiya and the balloon so he can ignore the rambles. Hyperfocus time!
