Chapter 86 - Underground Forces [2] (1/2)

[A/N: Hello, useless folks like me. Long time you don't see this incredible author talking on these notes, eh? I know you all missed me! Ahem, anyway, I have some really good piece of news, bunch of degenerates. In exactly 20 chapters (Chapter 106), the long-awaited REVENGE started, these b*tches more commonly known as Konoha Villagers will know the taste of a slow and painful death.] PS: Join my discord, link on the end of the chapter.

''Training in the usual way won't help any of you, the fastest way so that both of you can strengthen is by surpassing your own limits. We'll do that by taking missions at the Underground Force, I have already created a group named 'Toad Group' some years ago.'' As they walked by the forest, Jiraiya said as both Naruto and Haku nodded.

Looking at the two of them, Jiraiya smiled lightly before saying: ''But there's a special rule, a thing that I've noticed is that your main strength relies on your teleport and Kurama, Fox. As for you, Rabbit, you rely too much on your Hyoton, while doing missions and fighting, all of these will be prohibited unless absolutely needed.''

They had already started calling each other by their aliases instead of their names, that was so that no mistake happens.

Then, he added: ''In the rest between missions, you'll be training and improving your previous abilities, Rabbit, you can ask Fox for assistance regarding Wind and Water-based Jutsu, since Hyoton is formed by them and you've awakened it at an early age, your talent at it is very likely to be high.''

'He wants us to increase our base strength so that when the time comes and we use all cards, it'll be raised exponentially. I didn't think of that, I guess Ero Sennin is indeed a gifted teacher.' Naruto thought to himself.

Haku pondered for a bit 'Naruto-sama is one of the best Wind and Water-based Jutsu masters, Jiraiya-sama is also right, I need to train on other Jutsus in order to increase my versatility.'

''Rabbit, there's still a week till we arrive, if we go slowly, we can have a week and half. This is enough for you to get a basic introduction to B-Rank Wind Ninjutsus as they have more cutting power compared to most Water ones.'' Naruto said as Haku nodded, he was happy to be taught by Naruto, over months, he got to know of the blonde teenager past and felt they were rather similar, both suffered greatly.

Smirking at their interactions, Jiraiya waved his hands slightly as a gust of air was sent forward, blowing many leaves away. Looking towards Haku, he said: ''You probably know about Fuuton: Reppushu (Wind Release: Gale Wind Palm), hm? It's a C-Rank Ninjutsu, with enough mastery, you don't even need hand seals to do it.''

''You can do one-handed seals and this gives you a good advantage but if someone knows how to do Ninjutsu without the need of hand seals, their advantage is higher. Take Fox as an example, he can do many C-Rank Ninjutsu from Fuuton, Suiton and Raiton without the need of hand signs, this is something that requires not only great talent - That you have - but also a huge amount of efforts.''

Seeing their serious expressions, Jiraiya chucked: ''There's no need to be so serious, the Underground Forces is dangerous but with the Great Jiraiya-sama with you, safety is a sure thing! Anyway, I'll start to talk a bit about it.''

''The Underground Forces, despite having such names, are well-known between most Nukenin (Missing-nin or Rogue Ninja) because it's a way they can be ''safe'' and still do missions. It also isn't bound by any Village or Land, its main building is hidden at the very middle of the World, a place where all Shinobis through the world can access.'' Jiraiya said, a small but mysterious smile was plastered underneath his hidden face.

''I know about it, ever since I became a Jinchuuriki and turned 12, I knew that safety would be hard. So I started gathering information by sending disguised Kage Bunshins. It's as they say: Know yourself and know your enemies. Its entrance is at the village named Kurogakure (Village Hidden in the Darkness), you need a special code that is given to you at the very first time you join.'' Interrupting Jiraiya, Naruto said as the white-haired man's smile broke.

''Oi, you brat, if you knew of that all along, why did you only say it now?'' Exclaimed the old Pervert, however, the blonde teenager only smiled slightly: ''Well, Ero Sennin, you were talking so excitedly about it that I didn't want to interrupt you.''

Jiraiya: ''...''
