Chapter 98 - Gamabunta
"Mhh, where am I? Jiraiya, where are you and why did you summon here? You better co out and explain yourself!"
"Ohh! To think you would summon my dad! As expected of my friend."
"Oh? So, this is your father? Nice to et you, my na is Naruto, I beca Gamakichi's friend a few monts ago."
While talking, Naruto, who still had Gamakichi on his shoulder, left the top of the toad's head and jumped on the ground in front of him. He swiftly went through so hand signs and gathered another massive chunk of chakra before slamming his hands on the ground.
"[Earth Style: Massive Earth Pillar Jutsu]"
A massive pillar was created underneath Naruto and raised him up to the sa level as his newly summoned toad's eyes. Yuna told Anko and Hinata that they should at least learn a few earth-style jutsu since they excelled in defense, but for soone with a chakra pool as massive as Naruto, Yuna decided that he should also learn more powerful stuff that affect a much larger area and are on a bigger scale in general. The pillar he just created could give Naruto and possible teammates an advantageous position in case they are surrounded. Now, however, Naruto only used it to adjust his eye level.
After Naruto finished his jutsu, and everyone was at the sa eye level, Gamakichi waved towards his father.
"Yo, dad! This is Naruto, we just beca friends. Naruto, this is my dad, Gamabunta. The Toad Boss."
The huge toad chuckled a little when he saw his energetic son and then looked at Naruto.
"Hello, kid. At first, I had so doubts that such a young kid could summon , but the chakra depletion of that earth-jutsu is no joke either. Just how much chakra do you have, kid?"
"Haha, nice to et you as well, Toad Boss, as for my chakra, let's just say a lot."
Naruto flared Kurama's chakra for a mont and the toad nodded in understanding.
"Even if I acknowledge that you are the one that summoned , Jiraiya should still be around. Where did he go?"
Naruto nodded his head and pointed in a certain direction.
"He is over there, using a jutsu to make himself invisible."
With lightning speed, Gamabunta turned around and shot his tongue in the direction where Naruto was pointing.
A loud explosion echoed over the clearing, followed by a string of curses and then Jiraiya jumping away from the point of impact.
'How the hell did that brat know where I was hiding? I can even infiltrate other hidden villages with this jutsu, yet I was found out by him.'
Naruto, on the other hand, nodded in satisfaction at the power and speed of the attack he just witnessed.
'Seems like I made the right decision. This guy packs quite the punch and his speed is pretty good as well.'
Gamabunta, anwhile, was glaring at Jiraiya.
"Oi, Jiraiya! Why were you hiding from ?"
Although Jiraiya had so cold sweat flowing down his back, he wasn't a master of infiltrator for nothing and quickly ca up with an explanation.
"Haha, don't be like that Boss Gama. I thought it would be reasonable to have your first eting with Naruto on your own. After all, from now on he will also be soone that can summon you guys. There is no way you would acknowledge him just because I was there, so I thought you might as well get a proper first impression and et him alone."
Although Gamabunta was still glaring at Jiraiya, he nodded his head, indicating that he had accepted the explanation.
Naruto, anwhile, was surprised by Jiraiya's words.
'This pervert's shalessness and bullsh*tting skills have reached quite the high level. Without nee-san's training, he might have actually tricked as well. Oh well, ti to stab him in the back.'
[You do realize that you don't need to pick up every single one of Yuna's habits, right?]
'I have no idea what you are talking about.'
[I take that as a "no".]
"Haha, what are you saying, old pervert. Why are you suddenly buttering up to the Toad Boss? Didn't you tell that I could just go all out since you can easily control all the toads anyway?"
"Ah! Now that Naruto ntions it, that weirdo over there did really say that. I didn't know that you would obey soone that easily, dad."
'Nice assist Gamakichi.'
"Oh? Is that so Jiraiya?"
"B-Boss Gama, calm down. I didn't say it like that."
'This damn brat ratted out again!'
"So, you are saying my kid is a liar?!"
'Sh*t that made it worse. No other choice. Got to use my secret move.'
"What! No! What I an is… what I an…OH MY GOD, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT!!!"
Jiraiya pointed at sothing behind Gamabunta. Gamabunta, however, didn't move at all and was still glaring at Jiraiya, while Naruto couldn't help but facepalm.
'Well, seems like my secret technique failed, guess I need to try another one.'
"*cough* Sorry about that. I thought it would be funny, haha… A-Anyway what I actually wanted so say was…Gottagoseeyabye."
Without saying another word, Jiraiya detonated a smoke bomb, turned around and started to run away at full speed.
'Behold my secret move: Running away as fast as I can.'
Gamabunta snorted at the fleeing Jiraiya but didn't bother chasing after him. He turned around and returned his attention to Naruto.
"Anyway kid, don't think just because you beca friends with my son that I will acknowledge you and help you fight. I only acknowledge people after I exchanged good alcohol with them."
Naruto's eyes shone when he heard that, he started to rummage around in his weapon holster and pulled out a scroll. He unfolded it, put it on the ground, and then injected so chakra into it. With a puff of smoke, a huge, five-liter, bottle gourd appeared.
'Nee-san said that I should always carry around so good alcohol "in case I need it". I had no idea what she ant by that but, as expected of nee-san, she was right.'
"Although I don't know much about alcohol, I was told that this one here is good. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Oh? you even prepared alcohol for . Not bad, kid. I warn you, however, that I am not easy to satisfy if it cos to alcohol."
Gamabunta carefully picked up the gourd, which, considering his size, wasn't easy, and took a sip from it. A sip, in this case, ans that he emptied half the bottle.
"Puha! Good stuff! Haha, not bad, kid. Not bad at all."
Gamabunta reached for his back and took out a gigantic bottle of his own. This one, however, was easily bigger than Naruto.
"Very well, kid. Let's share drinks and after that, you will be allowed to summon and I will help you fight."
At first, Naruto hesitated a little, after all, he has never drunk alcohol before. After a short mont, however, he just shrugged his shoulders.
'Nee-san said drinking alcohol can be fun, so I might as well give it a try. What is the worst that could happen?'
