Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Sasuke: "..."

Jiraiya: "..."

Naruto: "Hahahaha!"

Now it was Naruto's turn to mercilessly mock Sasuke.

Jiraiya sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He never expected that these two people, whom he considered geniuses, would only summon these little toads on their first attempt.

After teaching him the Summoning Technique, Jiraiya brought Sasuke aside and said, "Sasuke, next I'll teach you a Fire Release technique."

Jiraiya demonstrated the hand seals, "Watch closely, Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

A blazing fireball roared out, burning the distant target to ashes.

Sasuke's Sharingan precisely recorded every detail.

He attempted to form hand seals: "Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

Although its power was not as great as Jiraiya's, the concentration of the flames was significantly better than his previous Fireball Technique.

"Good! Let's do it again!" Jiraiya encouraged.

After a full day of training, Naruto was finally able to summon a toad of normal size.

Sasuke not only mastered the Flame Bullet technique, but he could also skillfully summon the Toad Dragon to assist in battle.

Jiraiya looked at the two with satisfaction: "That's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow."

Naruto collapsed to the ground: "I'm exhausted..."

Although Sasuke was exhausted, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

He never imagined that he would form a contract with the toads of Mount Myōboku. This new way of fighting showed him more possibilities.

As the sun set, Jiraiya watched the two boys' retreating figures and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"It seems... Konoha's new generation is more interesting than I imagined."

Chapter 60 Jiraiya is shocked

Two consecutive days of intensive training significantly improved Naruto and Sasuke's abilities.

On the first day, Jiraiya focused on instructing Naruto on how to allocate chakra for the Summoning Jutsu.

Naruto sat cross-legged on the ground, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, his hands trembling slightly as he formed hand seals.

"focus!"

Jiraiya squatted down beside him and gently tapped his head with a twig: "Summoning Jutsu isn't about brute force, but about precise control of chakra!"

"I know!"

Naruto grimaced and rubbed the spot where he'd been hit, took a deep breath, and re-formed the hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu!"

A puff of white smoke dissipated, and a normal-sized toad appeared in the scene.

It blinked its round eyes and looked around: "Yo, finally I can reliably summon larger toads."

"Finally, I succeeded!" Naruto jumped up excitedly, his golden hair shimmering in the sunlight.

Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Sasuke on the other side.

The black-haired boy was practicing Fire Release techniques on a distant rock, his Sharingan slightly rotating as he precisely controlled the flow of chakra.

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

A blazing fireball roared out, unleashing astonishing power the moment it hit the rock. The hard rock was blasted into pieces, and even traces of melting appeared on its edges.

"Not bad, kid." Jiraiya whistled. "This is much more powerful than a regular Fireball."

Sasuke wiped the sweat from his brow, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Hmph, still a long way off."

He had witnessed Itachi's Fire Release techniques, and the Great Fireball was even more powerful than his own Flame Bullet.

However, an unexpected incident occurred during the second day of training.

Jiraiya mysteriously pulled a water ball from his pocket and waved it in front of Naruto: "I'll teach you something new today."

Naruto tilted his head, his azure eyes filled with confusion: "Water Ball?"

Jiraiya grinned smugly: "Using chakra to destroy this water sphere from the inside, that's—"

"Rasengan?" Naruto blinked, then suddenly stretched out his right hand, palm up.

The next second, the blue chakra began to spin rapidly, emitting a piercing buzzing sound, and a perfect Rasengan condensed in his hand.

Jiraiya's smile froze on his face, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg: "You...when did you learn that?!"

"My dad taught me!" Naruto replied with a grin, as the Rasengan in his hand slowly dissipated.

Back in the Land of Waves, Sasuke wasn't very proficient with the Rasengan, so when dealing with Haku, he only let Sasuke use Chidori.

Later on, when you're more skilled, the enemies are just bandits and thugs, so you don't need the Rasengan at all.

Therefore, this was the first time Naruto had condensed a Rasengan with one hand in front of others.

"Your dad? Minato?" Jiraiya's voice suddenly rose, making his red eyeshadow appear even more vibrant.

“Yes!” Naruto nodded, looking completely matter-of-fact.

Naruto didn't really care about telling the story, because nobody would believe it was true.

Besides what he told Ito last time, Naruto has actually told many other people as well.

But apart from Yi, no one believed it.

After all, one is a legendary Uchiha ninja and the other is the Fourth Hokage. No one would believe that these two people are the father that Naruto, an orphan, speaks of.

As for why?

Apart from the Third Hokage and Kakashi from Konoha, as well as Shisui and Itachi, everyone else who believed this story had been silenced by Madara.

Jiraiya's expression shifted from shock to confusion, and finally to deep suspicion. He narrowed his eyes, then suddenly reached out and pressed his hand against Naruto's forehead: "Wait a minute, I need to confirm something..."

The moment the chakra flowed, his consciousness was drawn into Naruto's mental world.

The moment Jiraiya's feet touched the water, he saw that familiar figure—

Golden hair, a warm smile, and that iconic Hokage robe.

"Jiraiya-sensei," Minato Namikaze greeted with a smile.

“Minato…it really is you…” Jiraiya’s voice trembled slightly.

His gaze lingered on Minato for a long time, as if to confirm that this was not an illusion.

Memories of the Nine-Tails' rampage flooded back; if only I could have returned to Konoha in time...

"Haha, don't make that face." Minato shook his head helplessly. "I'm not blaming you."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Just then, he noticed the man standing next to the water gate—

Jet-black armor, unruly black hair, and Sharingan eyes that seem to see through everything, with patterns that are clearly of the kaleidoscope level.

"You are..." Jiraiya's nerves tensed instantly.

"Uchiha, Madara." The man casually announced his name.

Jiraiya's pupils contracted sharply, and his body instinctively assumed a defensive stance: "A legendary ninja?! Why is he here?!"

Minato explained with a wry smile, "It's a long story..."

Ban scoffed, "Making a fuss over nothing."

Jiraiya's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his brain was racing.

The legendary Asura of the ninja world is actually residing inside Naruto's body? Does the Third Hokage know? No, judging from Minato's attitude, they seem to be getting along... fairly peacefully?

At this moment, Madara suddenly spoke up: "Since you know Minato, you should be able to get close to Naruto. Spend more time with Naruto when you're out."

"Huh?" Jiraiya thought he had misheard.

Ban continued, "The rest of us can only stay inside his body and can't be by his side, so he lives a life all by himself."

"Um..." Jiraiya chuckled dryly, "I never expected the legendary Madara Uchiha to care about the growth of a mere brat..."

Ban's sharp gaze swept over: "Is there a problem?"

"No, it's just..." Jiraiya scratched his face, "I've heard that Madara Uchiha is cruel and ruthless, showing no mercy even to his own family..."

"Which bastard spread this rumor again?" Madara's face instantly darkened, and the surrounding chakra became restless.

Damn it, it's one thing to call him brutal, but if it weren't for Hashirama stopping him, he would have destroyed the five great nations by himself long ago.

But what does it mean to disown one's own family?

He values ​​family ties a lot!

Minato quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, none of that matters. Jiraiya-sensei, I'm entrusting Naruto to you."

Jiraiya's expression softened: "Don't worry, this kid is much stronger than I thought."

He paused, then suddenly realized something: "Wait, so Naruto's taijutsu and chakra control..."

"I taught them," Ban said, arms crossed, a hint of pride in his voice.

"And I!"

Nine-Tails' voice suddenly came from the darkness, followed by the appearance of a huge fox figure: "The reason this kid's chakra is so vast is all thanks to this old man!"

Jiraiya's lips twitched: "Good heavens... this lineup is too luxurious!"

Minato smiled and added, "So, about the Rasengan..."

"I understand."

Jiraiya nodded, his expression turning serious. "In that case, I'll teach him something else."

In the real world, Naruto watched as Jiraiya rested one hand on his head, his expression changing every now and then.

Naruto called out, "Hey! You perverted sage! What are you spacing out for!"

Jiraiya withdrew his hand, looking at the blond boy in front of him with a complicated expression.
