59 Babysitting! Hes Awake!? (1/2)
As Jiraiya was walking along with four genin, he started to talk about their search target. Lady Tsunade! Broly was still unconscious at this time.
”She's most likely using jutsu to mask her appearance.”
”Why?” Esumi asked.
”She isn't the type of person to grow old gracefully.” Jiraiya answered.
”So is she afraid of getting old or really self-conscious about her looks?” Jabie asked.
”Haha kid never let her hear you calling her old or she'll kick the crap outta you.” Jiraiya warned while chuckling.
”That doesn't answer me but I'll put it in my thoughts..”
”Alright enough about Tsunade. It's time for this old man to pay up for your protection fee ya little gangsters.” Jiraiya said.
”Finally.. I was starting to think you might skimp out on us somehow.” Esumi said while staring suspiciously at Jiraiya.
They all stopped on the side of the road while Jiraiya took out a scroll filled with water balloons.
”What the hell is this? Kiddie hour?” Esumi asked slightly upset at Jiraiya's joke.
”Now hold on gangster-chan, don't knock it before you try it.” Jiraiya said as he held a water balloon in his palm before swirling the water inside the balloon without moving his hand and having it pop!
”So we just use chakra to swirl water around in a balloon? What's so hard about that?” Esumi asked.
”Don't knock it till you try it.” Jiraiya said as he handed out 3 water balloons.
”You three will learn to create a stream of chakra, or in other words rotation, and when u pop the balloon I will tell you the next step for the jutsu.”
Jabie and Esumi watched Jiraiya with their Byakugan when he showed the jutsu and easily saw what he did. He just made his chakra swirl in many different directions. Esumi felt that his directions for it was pretty crappy though. 'What kind of crap is making your chakra rotate… You need to be more specific than that idiot.' Esumi thought.
Esumi and Jabie started to swirl their chakra in the way that Jiraiya shown with one hand while Naruto started to swirl his chakra around like a circle. Esumi and Jabie's balloon popped after a few seconds. Naruto's balloon was shaped like it was trying to flatten itself.
”How did you guys get yours to pop?!” Naruto asked after a few minutes of trying to get his to pop.
”I just rotated it.” Esumi said with a mocking smile.
”You got the rotation part right Naruto, but not in the right directions.” Jabie hinted before looking at Jiraiya.
After a couple of seconds, Naruto was seen holding his water balloon with both hands and soon after a *POP* was heard.
”Aha! I did it! I knew it couldn't be that hard!” Naruto shouted.
”Hey hey this was suppose to take you guys all week!” Jiraiya yelled.
”The sooner you pay up for the job, the sooner you can run off.” Esumi said.
”Fine fine. Here's the second part of the super awesome technique I'm teaching you.” Jiraiya said.
Jiraiya took out three rubber balls and threw them at the three genin. They all caught it and waited for Jiraiya to speak.
”This part is all about power.” Jiraiya stated before holding a rubber ball and soon popping it.
”Now good luck I'm going to collect more info.” Jiraiya said before body flickering away.
Esumi and Jabie stared at the terrible excuse for a teacher before quickly going at the rubber ball. Naruto after seeing Esumi and Jabie start at it he also did.
”This is taking longer than the first part. I'm surprised the Fourth Hokage took 3 years to master this technique. We're already on the second part of it.” Esumi said.
”Maybe the last part is most difficult.” Jabie suggested.
”This is gonna be a piece of cake! I'm gonna be even more talented than the fourth hokage!” Naruto stated before focusing on his rubber ball again.
Jabie managed to fill up the rubber ball with his chakra while having it rotate like in the previous step before suddenly his rubber ball popped loudly and blasted him back. Jabie slid across the ground for a few feet before saying. ”That was surprising.”
”Whoa! Is that what's gonna happen when I pop mine?! I better get ready.” Esumi said as she stabbed her sword into the ground and held onto it with her other hand while getting ready to pop her rubber ball.
*POP*
*POP*
Naruto and Esumi's rubber ball popped. Esumi stood in the same place as before thanks to her holding onto her sword, while Naruto was sent flying off his feet away while shouting. Jabie caught the blonde and gently put him back on his feet.
”Thanks Jabie! Now we gotta find that Pervy Sage for the last stage!” Naruto said.
*POOF*
Jiraiya suddenly appeared in front of the three.
”You kids really aren't playing around are you… Well why don't you guys take a break and meet me here tomorrow. I'm sure you guys haven't explored much outside of Konoha.” Jiraiya stated before giving them some money and poofing away again.
Jabie, Esumi and Naruto arrived at a large festival-like city.
”Wow. I wonder whose the celebration is for.” Esumi said.
”This place is a lot more festive than our home. But then again we did just suffer an attack, so it wouldn't be fair to compare right now.” Jabie stated.
They started to walk throughout the city while seeing many new and interesting things they normally wouldn't see at Konoha. People were eating cotton candy and corn dogs. Holding balloons and playing games. Children had toy ninja equipment and were playing as little ninjas.
”Hey this place looks pretty fun!!” Naruto shouted. He then walked off to play in the festival.
”I'm going to see if this city has a blacksmith. I'm thinking of adding some more cuties to my sheathe.” Esumi said before skipping off.
”I guess I'll look around.. I don't know if this city even has anything interesting for me.” Jabie said before exploring the town.
*SOME HOURS LATER*
The Jiraiya and the genin have arrived outside the city after playing around all day. Broly still hasn't come to, but Jabie said that he was fine physically and mentally right now. He has no idea why he still hasn't awoken. He could try forcefully awakening him, but he didn't see the need to so he didn't.
”We're about to meet our target Naruto and little gangsters. Follow me. The lucky thing for you guys is that you can practice the final stage of the jutsu while walking!” Jiraiya said as he gave each genin a regular balloon and started to walk down the road.
Jiraiya held out his balloon in his hand. Jabie and Esumi took this as a cue to activate their Byakugan. They watched as the balloon that Jiraiya was holding was actually forming his chakra into a swirling mass of chakra without deforming the balloon on the outside! Naruto however was clueless about what was happening.
”What the heck am I suppose to be watching Pervy Sage!?” Naruto shouted.
”Ohoho so you can't see it huh? Well let me show you exactly what is going on in my left hand.”
From Jiraiya's right hand chakra started to come from his hand. As the chakra was coming out it started to swirl faster and faster while staying in a spherical or circle-like shape!
”A mini-cyclone is what I would call it.” Jiraiya said.
”Whoa… So that's happening inside that balloon too?!” Naruto asked.
”Yep!”
”The trick to this final part is being able to contain it. While you maximize your chakra's rotation and power, you form an additional layer on the inside of the balloon and visualize compressing the chakra within it.”
”Sounds easy enough for this kunoichi of greatness!” Esumi said before holding her rubber ball and having it twitch for a couple of seconds. But it soon stopped and became still exactly like Jiraiya's balloon from earlier.
”What kind of control do you freakish thugs have?” Jiraiya asked before watching Jabie do the same thing as Esumi. At this point he just turned around and started walking. Naruto however wasn't able to do it as seamlessly as Esumi and Jabie and kept trying and trying while popping more and more balloons.
The gang arrived in the little town of Tanzaku and spotted a middle-aged man running away.
