Pervert

The white haired sannin tried to butter me up as we traveled but I ignored his existence since he still hadn't apologized for breaking the bro code. If a bro tries to help you bag a girl you DON'T tell the girl in question, it's a rule and he broke it. Was this petty on my end? Yes, yes it was. But I didn't care as i was offended at the sheer audacity of this dude to try and butter me up to get closer to my sensei after what he did.-

He tried a bunch of things to bribe me too jutsus, food, promises of new beasts, training and even a trip to a fucking brothel at one point. That last one in particular earned him a swift punch from my sensei when I told her to get him to leave me be. He got the message at some point and decided I was a lost cause and went back to trying and flirting with my sensei and getting stone walled for his efforts. At one point we stopped in a village in the land of hotsprings where we went into one of the hotsprings.-

I was just relaxing in the hotspring after bathing when he burst into the area.

"You never saw me!" he said hurriedly before hiding under the water mere moments before my sensei and Shizune burst in in nothing but bath towels.

"Where'd that bastard go!?" my sensei roared angrily at me and I just sighed before electrocuting the water since it didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened.

Jiraiya burst out of the water screaming and my sensei wasted no time at all punching him in the gut, hard.

"BOOM!"

The air pressure blew open both her and Shizunes towels and I hurried looked away after accidentally getting an eyeful.

The toad sannin wasted no time at all vacating the area at that point and I got another hour of relaxation before I got out and got dressed for bed.

As I had gotten accustomed to doing I summoned my cat and lizard to keep watch while I slept since the fact that the culprit behind the kidnapping attempt had still not been found meant I may still be in danger. The next morning I was unsurprised to find that Jiraiya had checked out of the inn early and left the village without us. The man was clearly smart enough to know that if he showed up in front of my sensei so soon after the incident that she was very much likely to try and kill him.

After that we rode on Ren who had made a breakthrough in power recently and had grown to the size of a carriage. Ren didn't mind carrying us and was even rewarded for it by my sensei with potent medicines that were especially useful for chakra beasts.

"Where did you get those medicines from?" I asked curious.

"After fighting alongside your beasts against those ambushers I decided to work on a special reward for them for when they help us. Did you know that there is a surprising lack of supplements for chakra beasts?" she asked after explaining herself.

I nodded" I had briefly looked into it before I graduated but other than lures that tempt them to show up but didn't actually benefit them any theres next to nothing. The Inuzuka clan has a feral pill but that is made with ninken in mind and almost useless to me." I said honestly.

"In the next town I'll show you how to make these treats yourself." she said and I smiled happily and nodded.

Honestly I was impressed to find that in truth the treats were sort of like soldier ration pills but instead of just letting you function without food for days while giving a boost to chakra restoration these ones helped the chakra beast that ate them refine their chakra into a smoother form. This in turn let them grow more powerful faster than if they relied on their natural growth and any natural treasures they could find to consume. That latter method of growth was one of the reasons chakra beasts were hunted to near extinction in fact as ninjas also wanted those treasures since they were usually potent medicines.-

The best part was that the ingredients were all fairly cheap and easy to get my hands on. After learning how to make the treats I began to try and improve the recipe with my sensei's permission. She admitted that she honestly didn't try all that hard to make the original recipe since it wouldn't be much use to her personally once I left her care. This thankfully meant it was fairly easy to improve the recipe to be nearly three times as potent. The ingredients got a bit on the pricy side but were still common enough that I had no issue procuring more in most villages that had an herbs dealer.
