'Well, I still have one week, more or less, free. So what should I do? I could try to lear-' Naruto's thoughts were interrupted
/Can't you just stop?\ asks Uzuryu
'what do you mean?' confused Naruto asked back
/I mean that you are being dumb. You have learned so many jutsus and skills but have you ever mastered one of them?\ points out Uzuryu
'I...' Having no way to defend himself, Naruto was left speechless
/You are a jack of all trades, master of none, and while this may work on normal ninjas it won't work on stronger foes, much less against the Otsutsuki clan and you know it\
'...'
After a long silence, Naruto reaches a conclusion
'...fine, I won't learn new things until I master the ones I know, But I will use shadow clones for that and you have no say in that'
/Fine by me\
"sigh~"
"What are you sighting about?" Kakashi asked, approaching Naruto who internally smirked
"I am sighting because of my useless sensei"
Kakashi was instantly petrified, and with the expression of someone who got hit by an arrow straight thought the heart, he asked
"Y-Your sensei...?"
"Indeed, that white haired pervert, he just seems to not see when woman avert their gazes away from him..."
'WHAT!?' Internally screamed Kakashi, caught completely off guard
"by the way, I got his signed book for you" Naruto said
Kakashi was even more confused, and at moments like this he was really thankful for his mask
Naruto gave Kakashi the newest book Jiraya made and signed, while observing Kakashi's reactions
'So he didn't even care that I indirectly said he isn't my sensei...' He thought
and well, to be honest with you, even I wouldn't notice that he implied that...
'... doesn't matter, now I need to go find Kurama to see what she is up to...' After a second of silence, Naruto flash stepped away from there, leaving behind Kakashi, who was staring at the book in his hands as if it was the secret of the universe
"..." Apparently he even forgot how to talk...
-=-
Time passed, and now Naruto was in front of Konoha's gates, waiting to go on his journey with his so called 'godfather'
"He's late..." Naruto said to... himself? not really, but a new perma-clone he made, this one is supposed to learn from Tsunade, since you know... she has way more to teach him than Jiraya
'doesn't matter how good he is at hiding and collecting information, he isn't at the level of captain Aizen... The only reason for this trip is for the girls to gain experience and for me to place some hiraishin marks all over the world...'
As Naruto finished explaining his motives to himself (and you guys), he saw Jiraya heading towards him, with Tsunade as well
'Must be here to say something boring...' He thought
And right on cue, Tsunade said her speech about not turning into a second Jiraya and all... wait! shouldn't she say something about the will of fire or whatever?
Apparently she wasn't really a fan of her old teacher's ways of indoctrination, really good
Jiraya who remembered that one of the girls was going to go with them asked wich one would and why
And Naruto said the first one would be Ikki, and why? because she won the sacred tradition that is used to decide important things in the ninja world:
Rock Paper Scissors
Though... for someone who can feel the blood flow of the other two, that wasn't really fair but who cares?
