Chapter 83: Learning a New Jutsu

"Don't worry about your friend, he is fine, and you will see him soon enough," Jiraiya told him.

The man really thought that Naruto was worried about his teammate, but Naruto was just asking out of pure curiosity. He was the type who liked to know as much as possible.

After all...information was just another form of power.

"But, there was another reason I came to find you," the Sannin said.

"And what would that be?"

"I wanted to offer you my expertise before your final exams." Jiraiya gave him a confident smirk.

"You are offering to train me?" Naruto was going to question why someone with such a high status would want to train him. But the answer was very obvious.

"Is this because of my father? Were you friends or something?"

Jiraiya smiled.

"More than friends! We wer—"

"Lovers?... I see... so even ninjas do that kind of thing." Naruto nodded in understanding.

He never had an interest in that kind of experimentation, but some of his acquaintances had 'dipped their toes' in that world.

"Although I feel bad for his wife... she must have been s—"

"We were not lovers!" Jiraiya wanted to smack his face.

"I was his Sensei!"

"Oh... I see... your teammate, Orochimaru, appears to have an unhealthy amount of interest in younger boys, so I must have jumped to the wrong conclusion... my apologies."

"There are quite a few. But they live too far away, so you would only see those who had been summoned with this jutsu," the Sannin explained.

"I see..." This wasn't too hard to accept for him.

In his old world, he had met several animals who found enlightenment and developed human intelligence and the ability to cultivate.

And not just animals, but also trees, plants, and even mountains could achieve this, given enough time.

'It looks like this place is more advanced than I previously thought.' He was honestly happy to learn this. It just meant there was more to discover out there.

"Here, you have to use this to write your name." Jiraiya handed him a strange quill.

Naruto noted the lack of ink and the peculiar design of the object.

"Use the upper end to make a small cut on your finger," Jiraiya instructed.

Naruto then realized what this was.

"A blood contract...." This was a very serious thing. A contract signed with one's blood was extremely hard to break without suffering terrible consequences, as it was tied to your very own soul.

Naruto could understand why the Toad Clan would demand something like this from their summoners, but he was not going to be careless about this.

He took the scroll and flipped it over so he could read the clauses of the contract.

"You are very cautious, aren't you?" Jiraiya noted.

"Your father did the same thing...." he added.

"I like to know what I am signing for." Naruto read everything very carefully, and Jiraiya didn't interrupt him.

There were things like not being able to purposely bring harm to the Toad Clan or divulge their secrets.

He could not find anything suspicious written on the contract, and the terms seemed reasonable enough.

He put the scroll back the way it was and took the quill in his hands.

After letting a few drops of his blood reach the tip, he signed his name on the scroll and then marked it with his fingerprint, as Jiraiya instructed.

"Congratulations! You are now a contractor of the Toad Clan." Jiraiya closed the scroll and put it aside.

"I will show you how it's done..." He bit one of his fingers, performed a hand sign, and then pushed his right palm on the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!"
