Chapter 159: Return To Monke - 11

"That's pretty much why I'm here sensei," Jiraiya shrugged, "He's training against his clones right now, but he's more or less got the hang of the summoning jutsu and pulling on at least a small part of the Kyuubi's chakra, though he still wastes an absurd amount of it when using any jutsu, I'm not a great help on that part though."

...Yes, he was well aware. Chakra control was perhaps his students worst attribute and why he was terrible when it came to using Genjutsu and had been unable to perfect his Sage Mode to this day.

"Chakra control will always be a struggle for the boy as long as the Kyuubi loathes him." Hiruzen pointed out. The fact the boy could use any jutsu at all reliable was a testament to his talent actually. He had many factors working against him.

Even as a baby, Naruto was born with an immense amount of chakra. From the simple fact that he was an Uzumaki, born to a father as powerful as Minato and Kushina, the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi alongside being an Uzumaki, nevermind the fact that even as a fetus he was exposed constantly to the beasts chakra, meant he was always destined to stand heads and shoulders above his peers when it came to sheer chakra. And the more chakra one had, the harder it was to control.

But beyond even that, was how his seal worked. It was a beauty of a seal that Hiruzen himself could not replicate half the quality of even if he knew how to perform the seal himself. It siphoned part of the Kyuubi's chakra constantly and filtered it into Naruto's own chakra coils, meaning that not only was his chakra capacity constantly growing, but also always in a state of flux, making it that much harder to control.

And it did not stop there. The Kyuubi's chakra was not only absurdly dense and powerful, but filled with malicious hatred that made it outright corrosive. Not even Mito-sama or Kushina could handle it, which was why they suppressed its power. Naruto on the other hand, had been exposed to the chakra since the very moment he was conceived and was especially attuned to it. It was not a stretch to say, that Naruto was born to be the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.

That did not mean he was immune to the effects of the malicious corrosive hatred within the beasts chakra though. The chakra itself fought tooth and nail against Naruto's own, worsening his control even further.

Yes, Hiruzen could confidently state that if the beast were sealed within himself, when he lacked an ability to suppress its power, he would likely never be able to use jutsu again.

It was a massive double edged sword and by time Naruto-kun reached Hiruzen's own age, should he live that long, the boys chakra would dwarf his own, in fact, dare he say, he might even dwarf that of Hashirama-sama.

And should he ever manage to tame the beast or earn its allegiance like Killer Bee or Daiki-kun himself, he would become unstoppable and may very well surpass the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha themselves.

"I did, they're sleeping together in fact and both will be going on an important mission soon together," Hiruzen snorted, taking a bit of amusement in the way Jiraiya's eyes, "As for how he afforded it, well an A-rank bounty and a best friend who gave him a discount I do believe."

Honestly, the boy fixing Anko's seal and her truly going through with her promise to sleep with him was a true boon right now. Not only did it help her, even strengthen her in fact according to her own testimony, she made for an amazing stopgap to wall of Mei Terumi.

After all, while he trusted Daiki and his character quite implicitly, he could not say the temptation of getting to bed Mei Terumi would not be the highest of temptations. Even he himself may be tempted, never mind a lad as young as Daiki!

A woman such as her was the true bane of young talented shinobi everywhere. It truly was a wonder the woman hadn't manged to snatch a man for herself up and by all accounts he'd been told by his informants...desired marriage.

"You're kidding me, a kid at that age bagged at a hottie older chick like that?" Jiraiya gaped, eyes shining with fervent jealousy, "Seriously, perfect jinchuuriki, the next pick for the hat and a babe like that. It's like he was born to make guys like me feel inadequate, makes me wanna beat him up."

"I wouldn't let him know that, it will just make him preen all the greater," Hiruzen chortled, "Though, she did only go through with sleeping with him because he fixed her Cursed Seal."

"...Wait...what?!" Jiraiya's eyes widened in absolute shock.

...Oh, did he forget tell Jiraiya that?

Oh well, it served him right for always making trouble for him. The amount of times he got complaints about the man peeping was truly annoying.
