Chapter 109: A Promise For The Future

"The Flying Thunder God?! Don't tell me Minato left that scroll at his house," Jiraiya appeared upset.

"There wasn't much in that house, to be honest. And that scroll was incomplete. It looked like only half the technique was written," Naruto said.

Jiraiya sighed in relief.

"At least he had the sense not to leave the complete version." Jiraya sighed in relief. "And of course there wasn't much!. Any important jutsus must be stored in a secure location."

"You seem to that jutsu very well," Naruto pointed out.

"I can't use it myself, but I'm very familiar with what it does. It's a dangerous jutsu invented by the Second Hokage, but your father was the first to fully complete it and make it usable in combat. It became his signature jutsu...and the main reason people feared him so much."

"You don't happen to know where the other half is, right?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya considered it for a moment.

"I could make a good educated guess about where it is, but even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to get it. That's not a place a genin could gain access to. And even if you got it somehow... you'd never be able to understand the jutsu without mastering the art of fuuinjutsu."

Seeing Naruto's expression, Jiraiya added, "I assume you didn't understand anything from the half you have, right?"

"I can't believe this... I thought Kakashi would put in more effort after becoming a sensei. But it seems he's as lazy as ever," Jiraiya muttered.

"No matter, I'll deal with him another time."

"Then, can you teach me some fire jutsu?" Naruto asked, remembering the incident with Gamabunta.

The techniques from his old world were still usable, but since they were designed for a different type of spiritual energy, their effects with chakra seemed... unpredictable.

If he could learn more about the ninjutsu that the people in this world used, he could adapt his old techniques to better suit this new energy system.

"Fire jutsu?" Jiraiya repeated.

"You don't know any? It's okay, don't feel bad about it. I'll ask someone else," Naruto tried to sound reassuring.

"You damn brat! Who says I don't know any?! I am the Legendary Jiraiya, and if anything, fire jutsus are my specialty! I was just thinking... I don't know your elemental affinity. Since Kakashi hasn't taught you properly, I doubt he gave you the test."

"Elemental affinity?" Naruto asked, curious.

"There's a simple test that shows which elemental chakra you're most compatible with. You can still use other elements, but..."

"It's best to focus on what you're good at," Naruto finished, understanding the logic. It was the same in his old world.

Jiraiya nodded.

"Exactly... but I don't have any chakra paper with me. We'll probably have to get some at the Capital."

"Chakra paper... I see, so we have to wait a bit."

"I'll tell you what, until we get there, I'll teach you a basic fire jutsu. And once we know your affinity, we'll figure out what's next."
