Cap 79: Thank you, Captain Obvious!
Cap 79: Thank you, Captain Obvious!
"Yes" - Jiraiya nodded - "Although that last one brought me great sadness... I never thought he would end up like that..."
"Don't worry" - denied Kurama - "It's not your fault that everything ended up this way..."
"Still I regret not being here when all this happened" - sighed the Sannin - "Maybe... just maybe if I had been here, I could have made my student understand about the current situation..."
That was true, Jiraiya was full of guilt that he wasn't here when he was needed most.
Kurama shook his head because he knew he couldn't change the white-haired man's mind - "By the way, my name is Kurama, not Naruto"
"The old man told me about it when I got back to Konoha," sighed the Sannin. "Was I such a bad godfather that you changed the name I practically gave you?"
"Was it because of you that I was called Naruto?" - asked the young redheaded man as he raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"It was because of my book... the first one I ever wrote" - said Jiraiya as he handed him a book.
"The Story of a Gutsy Ninja?" - Kurama was surprised by the name as a few images popped into his mind.
"Are you feeling well?" - Jiraiya asked as he saw the grimace of pain the young man was in at this moment.
"It is nothing..." - Kurama muttered as he saw an image of the man standing before him smiling despite all the wounds he had. It was obvious that he was about to die but he still had a smile on his face - ". . ."
"?" - Jiraiya could only look at the boy in confusion but decided to put it aside - "Anyway, it's nice to see my godson"
". . ." - Kurama was silent for a few seconds while he thought about whether or not to tell him the truth about his situation, but after a while, he decided to do so. Something told him that he could trust the man in front of him - "Follow me for a moment... I need to talk about something important..."
"Kya~! He wants to propose to me~!" - shouted Jiraiya while imitating a female voice but his expression froze when he noticed the boy's cold stare - "Ahem! I'm sorry..."
"Another one of those jokes and I swear I'm going to blow up your ass with a Bijuudama" - said Kurama coldly.
Jiraiya trembled when he heard this as he nodded at full speed.
"Let's go..."- muttered the redheaded man as he walked into the forest with Jiraiya following him.

Thirty minutes had passed and the two men were sitting in the middle of the forest in complete silence.
"I see..." - murmured Jiraiya as he nodded sadly - "That explains the name change..."
"I'm sorry," sighed Kurama as he shook his head. He had activated a seal of silence so that no one could hear his conversation.
". . ." - Jiraiya only sighed with regret as he looked at the boy. He was now completely devastated because at first, he thought he could finally make up for the lost time, only to realize that this was no longer possible, not because either side did not want to, but because it was impossible.
"If it makes you feel better... you might still be able to do something" - said Kurama as he stood up and put his hand on the Sannin's shoulder - "How about being the godfather of my unborn child?"
". . . .huh?" - Jiraiya stood still not knowing how to respond to what he had heard until after a few minutes he could finally react - "Uh-huh?!"
"Shh... don't scream so loud" - exclaimed Kurama while covering his ears - "Don't you know that I have extremely acute senses?!"
"I'm sorry... That's not what I should be saying! - cried Jiraiya - "What the hell is this about you having a child?!"
"There are two of them" - corrected the redhead.
"That doesn't change anything!"- cried Jiraiya - "How the fuck is you going to have a child?!"
"When a man and a woman love each other very, very much, they have..." - said Kurama but was interrupted by the white-haired man - "I know how children are born, you don't have to give me that kind of information! I just want to know how the fuck you, a 12-year-old boy is going to be a father!"
"Chronological age, 12. Mental age, 20. Physical age, 15-16" - corrected Kurama.
"Don't come up with your technicalities!" - shouted Jiraiya.
"Okay, okay, just calm down" - said Kurama as he rolled his eyes at the white-haired man - "I'm sure you know I'm at the CRA"
"Yes... And you don't know how jealous I am!" - shouted Jiraiya as he cried tears of blood.
"As I said, the goal of the CRA is for me to have a large family" - the redheaded man nodded.
"But that doesn't mean you have to be so quick!" - roared the Sannin.
"One thing led to another," replied Kurama as he shrugged. "And when I say one thing led to another, I mean we did it like rabbits.
"Information..." - said Jiraiya as he looked at the redhead as if he were a gold mine.
"I don't think the girls like it that you want to know about us" - said Kurama seriously.
"If you want I'll ask them myself" - said Jiraiya seriously.
"Ok... go to Kushi-chan, Anko-chan and Miko-chan" - said Kurama calmly.
"HUH?!?!" - shouted the Sannin again as he felt he was going crazy.
* * * * *
After a few minutes, Jiraiya was able to calm down and now the two of them were sitting down again.
"I still can't believe it!" - said Jiraiya with clear jealousy.
"We'd better change the subject" - said Kurama calmly - "How about helping me train?"
"That's what I came for," Jiraiya nodded, "Although after seeing the report the old man gave me, I feel you don't need much help... What could I teach you?"
"How about Senjutsu?" - Kurama asked with a slight twinkle in his eye.
"As much as I would like to, it is impossible," the Sannin denied.
"What do you mean?" - asked the redheaded man with the scowl.
"I mean that practicing Senjutsu is a delicate thing... one false move and everything goes to hell" - answered Jiraiya - "At best, you become the entity that taught you Senjutsu, in my case, I would become Toad... and at worst, you would become a statue of the entity..."
"Hmm..." - Kurama could only frown when he heard this.
"What I could teach you is summoning jutsu" - continued the Sannin - "Because I'm sure you won't like learning Rasengan, the technique that Minato created"
"Rasengan? You mean that chakra sphere thing?" asked Kurama as he created a Rasengan as if it were nothing.
Jiraiya just opened his mouth without being able to say anything.
"Do you think I couldn't make a bastard version of my Bijuudama?" - Kurama asked as he raised an eyebrow - "And for the record, I do not hate Minato's techniques, I hate the man in question. It's stupid for me to hate the Rasengan when it's just a tool that the son of a bitch uses.
"We'd better get this over with," said Jiraiya as he shook his head. "First you sign the contract with the Mount Myoboku Toads"
"Ok... let me read it first" - said Kurama seriously - "Last time I got screwed with the small writing"
"Just sign!" - roared the Sannin.
"Ok..." - murmured the redhead.
"Sign here, here, your blood here..." - said Jiraiya as he pointed to the different spaces.
"I am sure this contract could not be shadier" - Kurama only shook his head as he followed the instructions of the Sannin.
" It is done, now all that is left is to put a little blood on the summoning mark that will appear on your palm, make the Seals that I will show you next" - said Jiraiya while making seals slowly so that the redhead could see them - "And then touch a surface with the summoning mark... Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
*Poof!
Next to Jiraiya, a toad a little bigger than him appeared silently.
"And this is how you invoke... now you try it" - said Jiraiya with a smile on his face.
"I hope the old man doesn't have a heart attack" - murmured Kurama while making seals - "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
*Poof!
"Jiraiya... I hope you didn't summon us to do stupid things... again..." - said a voice of few friends.
"G-Gamabunta?!" - said Jiraiya when he saw the Great Toad in front of him. He wore an open blue shirt, white on his neck and a red symbol on the back. His skin color was a dull red and he had red lines all around his body, he had a large scar in his left eye and he had a pipe in his mouth and a sword in his side.
"Dad! I don't think Ero Baka has summoned us..." - said a young voice about the Great Red Toad. This was a small orange Toad with purple lines, wearing a blue open T-shirt.
"2 x 1?!" - exclaimed a surprised Jiraiya.
"¡2!" - shouted Kurama from above the Toad's head.
"That's not what I mean, you asshole!" - said Jiraiya angrily - "I said you summoned two instead of one!"
"Thanks for telling me, Captain Obvious!" - snorted the red-haired boy with sarcasm.
"I like this guy" - said Gamakichi as he jumped on the young man's shoulder - "Nice to meet you, my name is Gamakichi"
"My name is Kurama" - the redhead smiled.
"So you're the guy who summoned us..." - said Gamabunta seriously, even more so when he felt the familiar aroma coming from his new summoner - "Kyubi no Kitsune..."
