Chapter 81: The Results

Three weeks later.

Naruto heard the crunching sound of dry leaves being stepped on and knew that someone was approaching.

He opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man staring at him with an amused expression on his face.

"Did you have a good nap, Naruto?" the man asked.

"Do we know each other?" He was sure he had never seen this man before.

He would remember meeting someone with such a peculiar appearance. The man had a massive head of pure white hair and wore an old-style kimono in dark green with a red sleeveless jacket on top.

"You really don't know who I am? Do they not teach history anymore at the academy?" he grumbled.

"I don't recall much of my academy days," Naruto told the man. "Perhaps you can tell me your name. That would help."

"Right...Sensei did mention your amnesia... Very well, I will tell you my glorious name!" He struck a dramatic pose.

"What is this?" Naruto wondered if someone had sent a buffoon to bother him during his training. But...something told him that this man was more than he seemed.

"I am the Legendary Jiraiya of the Sannin!" he proclaimed loudly.

Naruto stood up immediately, his demeanor changing to full alert.

"Sannin?...."

"Mmm..." Naruto didn't seem very impressed. There was something about this man that he didn't like but couldn't yet figure out what it was.

"Come on, take off your robes, and let me take a look... Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiraiya frowned.

"I still don't trust you..."

"Oh, for crying out loud! I already told you I am one of the Sannin! If I wanted to harm you, it would be so easy!" Jiraiya exclaimed.

"It wouldn't be that easy...." Naruto muttered.

"But you do have a point..." He opened his robes and took them off, leaving himself in just the shorts he had underneath.

"What the..." Jiraiya stared in disbelief at Naruto's body.

His muscles were all defined to an almost impossible degree.

This was the body of someone who spent most of their waking day doing physical work, not of someone who spent three weeks sitting beneath a tree.

What Jiraiya didn't know was that this was the result of Naruto's major breakthrough.

After completing the Body Forging Stage to perfection, he was left with a body that went beyond what was normally possible to achieve with mere martial training.

Every second he spent refining his body with his chakra was the equivalent of spending hours in intense workouts.

But the external appearance was merely a side effect. The real benefits were his immense improvement in strength and speed, as well as his physical resistance to damage.

His skin was almost as tough as copper and would resist the impact of most normal weapons with no more than some superficial scratches.

His bones were also many times more resistant than before and would be very difficult to break.

His body was now ready to begin the next stage...the Qi Refining.

"Would you stop staring so much?... I'm not interested in old men, you know?"
