Jiraiya was an open-minded person.
Although he was initially depressed by Naruto's extraordinary talent, he accepted reality after a period of time.
If it were his younger days, he might have even had the thought of chasing after and surpassing Naruto, just like when he competed with Orochimaru and Tsunade when he was young.
But now Jiraiya has reached the age of Knowing the Mandate of Heaven, and he is well aware that his strength has reached a ceiling.
After teaching Naruto all the ninjutsu he knew, Jiraiya no longer stayed by Naruto's side all day long, and continued his daily life of writing and gathering material while getting lost in the Ninja World.
Only occasionally, he would take the time to tell Naruto about some of the things he had seen and heard while traveling in the Ninja World.
As for Naruto, he lived his life as always.
Cultivation, learning, rest, cultivation...
And so on, again and again.
Until one day, half a year later.
Next to a lake some distance from the Waterfall, Sasuke was practicing his self-created S-Rank Ninjutsu, Lightning Release: Kirin.
As the ninjutsu was activated, Sasuke formed the hand seals for Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique at a dazzling speed, using the principle of rising air currents to create rainy weather, and then activated Chidori to use himself as a lightning rod to attract lightning.
The vast power of nature, under Sasuke's control, transformed into a huge Kirin form.
Then, this Kirin form pounced out and crashed into the lake in front of him.
Boom!
An explosion sounded, electric current spilled out into the air, crackling, and the stench of burnt air permeated out.
Because the lake bore the brunt of the dense lightning, this Kirin seemed to have the form but did not cause much damage. But if it were in another place, this one strike would be enough to completely raze a large area of buildings to the ground.
Sasuke frowned, dissatisfied with his technique.
Practicing the Kirin ninjutsu can only be done by Sasuke's main body; Shadow Clones cannot withstand the power of heaven and earth.
Because Guy was teaching Taijutsu, the time Sasuke spent perfecting the Kirin was delayed by three months.
In the past six months, in the first three months, with Naruto's Shadow Clone assisting in creating rainy weather, he had already mastered the ability to control the power of heaven and earth.
In the most recent three months, Sasuke had been practicing independently, without Naruto's assistance, to perform the entire ninjutsu completely and quickly.
This kind of training has continued until now, and generally speaking, Sasuke has been able to exert the power that Lightning Release: Kirin should have.
But only he himself knew that his control over this ninjutsu was still very rough. Although he could use it completely, he had not made the power of this technique reach its maximum extent.
"In the final analysis, my Chakra Sensing ability is not enough. If my Sharingan can evolve to another level, the improved dynamic vision it brings should be able to help me perfectly see the flow of all the lightning."
"That way, I can perfectly guide all the lightning to attack the enemy, achieving maximum power."
"It has been more than four years since I awakened the Sharingan, but my Pupil Power has never been able to successfully break through to the Three Tomoe level."
Thinking in his heart, Sasuke clenched his fist unwillingly.
"Go ask Naruto, maybe he has a way to help me solve this problem, improve the Sharingan's Pupil Power, or some other way..."
Thinking like this, Sasuke calmed his breath.
Afterward, he found a Naruto Shadow Clone in the forest, practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
After hearing Sasuke's question, Naruto replied without hesitation, "To solve the problem you mentioned, it's actually very simple. First, as you said, increase the Pupil Power of your Sharingan. Second, you can learn a secret technique called Chakra Sensing.
Jiraiya-sensei taught me this secret technique. It has the same ability to sense the outside world using Chakra as my Kagura Mind's Eye, but it requires hand seals.
It's not difficult for you to learn Chakra Sensing, but it will be very difficult to apply it to Lightning Release: Kirin without hand seals.
Maybe, by the time you achieve that, the Pupil Power of your Sharingan will naturally increase to the Three Tomoe level."
Sasuke's heart sank when he heard this.
Could it be that he really has to wait for his Pupil Power to evolve?
If he can't continue to improve quickly, he will definitely be left far behind by Naruto, to the point where he can't even see his shadow!
He finally developed his own S-Rank Ninjutsu, and finally had the hope of catching up with Naruto, so why did it turn out like this!
At this moment, he heard Naruto continue, "So, let's still try to find a way to improve the Pupil Power of your Sharingan. I've been researching a lot of information about the Sharingan recently, and I've come up with a way to help you break through, with a success rate of over ninety-five percent."
Upon hearing this, the disappointment in Sasuke's heart instantly dissipated, and he looked at Naruto in surprise.
"Come, sit cross-legged and hold out your hand."
Naruto found an open space to sit down, and then signaled Sasuke to sit opposite him.
The two raised their hands, fists facing each other.
Then, Sasuke felt the scene in front of him change, and he arrived in a spacious space filled with soft light.
After looking around slightly, Sasuke saw a TV, coffee table, sofa, and game console.
In addition, there was a Nine Tails fox cub, half the height of a person, propping its head up with one arm, lying lazily on the sofa watching TV, completely unconcerned about Naruto and Sasuke's arrival.
"Is that the Nine Tails living in your body?"
Sasuke glanced at the homebody fox on the sofa and asked curiously.
The legendary beast that destroyed most of Konoha, had the title of the strongest Tailed Beast, and caused their Uchiha clan to be isolated by the village, is just like this?
It doesn't match the legends at all.
Naruto nodded slightly, answering Sasuke's question.
"Get up, stop watching TV, let's play three-player."
Naruto paused the TV, picked up Kurama from the sofa, and together with Sasuke, came to three computers with extremely high configurations lined up in a corner of the entertainment room.
Then, Naruto turned on the computer and clicked on the game called League of Legends.
Kurama, who originally wanted to go back to watching TV, suddenly became interested.
This game is really fun, and the more people there are, the more fun it is, so he doesn't want to watch TV now.
Naruto guided Sasuke to sit down in front of the computer, helped him turn on the computer, and began to teach him some basic League of Legends operations.
Finally, he said to Sasuke with extreme seriousness, "From now on, you will concentrate on playing this game. When you reach the Challenger rank, the Pupil Power of your Sharingan will definitely achieve unimaginable progress!
Remember, this is an extremely important training, and you must not give up halfway!"
