The Great Toad Sage, who was nearly a hundred meters tall, sat cross-legged on the spot with his head lowered and a deafening snoring sound coming from his mouth.
Of course, this is not what frightened Jiraiya...
The real problem was...
Dozens of yellow-haired brats were holding iron chains at this time. They climbed onto the toad's limbs, shoulders and head, and kept wrapping the iron chains around the Great Toad Sage.
As for Naruto's main body, he stood right in front of the giant toad, gripping the chains with both hands, carrying it on his shoulders, and struggling forward.
If not for the giant toad behind him, one might mistake him for a seasoned dockworker.
In Naruto's impression, the only toad from Mount Myoboku he really knew was the one that wielded a giant tanto.
Plus, the two-dimensional and three-dimensional appearances are very different, so in reality...
The toad he summoned himself had no other visible differences from the toad Jiraiya summoned before, except for the size.
Moreover, this toad starts sleeping as soon as he comes out, and he can't wake it up no matter how much he yelled.
When Naruto saw this mountain-like body, he couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to try if he could drag this 'weight' in front of him.
In the distance, Jiraiya's shouting did nothing to stop Naruto.
His ears were now filled with the Great Toad Sage's deafening snores, so there was no way he could hear what Jiraiya said.
"NA—RU—TO!!!"
"YOU TRAITOROUS DISCIPLE!!"
"STOP RIGHT NOW!!!"
Jiraiya was already sweating profusely when he saw the Great Toad Sage appear here.
Over the years, he had repeatedly sought to see the Great Toad Sage, but the only response he received from Mount Myoboku was...
The Great Toad Sage is asleep. He does not receive visitors.
Jiraiya never thought that he would meet the Great Toad Sage under such circumstances today.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he ran towards Naruto.
"Huh?"
"Old man, why are you here?"
Naruto paused mid-pull and turned to look at Jiraiya, who looked very panicked.
"You…"
"Take off those chains immediately!"
"That's the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku!!"
Jiraiya snatched the chain from Naruto's hand, pointed at the Great Toad Sage behind him, and started cursing.
He was really going to be pissed to death by this kid.
Although he doesn't know how Naruto summoned the Great Toad Sage, but according to the current situation...
Jiraiya was really worried that Mount Myoboku would unilaterally terminate the contract they signed because of this incident.
"Huh?"
Naruto stopped what he was doing, looked at Jiraiya in confusion, then turned back to look at the giant toad who was still snoring…
The moment he learned that the toad behind him was just the Great Toad Sage, he was really confused.
'Shouldn't the Great Toad Sage be hiding in Mount Myoboku and sleeping, and then spouted out vague prophecies for Jiraiya when he wakes up??'
'Then why…'
'Why the hell did I summon him??'
"What do you mean, 'huh'?!"
"Hurry up and move!!"
Jiraiya was angry and anxious.
'It's already this long and you're still standing there in a daze?'
'What if the Great Toad Sage wakes up at this time...'
'And found himself wrapped in chains...'
'The consequences would definitely be catastrophic.'
Jiraiya let out a low growl on the spot, and angrily used his shadow clone to run to the Great Toad Sage's feet, intending to remove those iron chains himself.
Bang…
Just as Jiraiya's clone stretched out his hand, smoke surrounded him, and as a sound rang out, the figure of the Great Toad Sage disappeared from the spot.
"It's over! It's over!!"
Jiraiya clutched his head, his face full of panic.
The sudden disappearance of the Great Toad Sage could only mean one thing...
That is, he just woke up from his sleep and found the chains on his body, so he canceled the summoning on his own.
Jiraiya's mind was about to explode.
"You damn brat!!"
"Look at what you've done!!"
He genuinely couldn't understand what was going through this kid's head.
'When normal people learned the Summoning Technique, shouldn't they first marvel at their powerful Summoned Beast or praise their teacher?'
'Take Minato, for example, that's exactly what he did.'
'But this kid…'
'Not to mention he summoned the Great Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku, he even pulled out iron chains to tie it up and then started dragging his Summoned Beast around like a training weight!!'
'That is a Summoned Beast!!'
'A Shinobi's battle partner!'
'They're not a weight!'
Jiraiya's blood pressure suddenly rose when he thought of the sleeping Great Toad Sage being dragged by this child to do weight training.
Recalling Hiruzen has a drawer full of medicines...
Jiraiya suddenly understood a little.
And also…
'What part of this kid was supposed to be 'well-behaved'?!'
"Jiraiya-sensei, I did pretty well with the Summoning Technique, right?"
Jiraiya: "…"
Naruto didn't think much about using the Great Toad Sage as a weight.
When he first summoned the giant toad, he had already shouted into his ear, but the old toad was sleeping like he was dead.
That's why Naruto treats the giant toad as a weight.
Jiraiya's face darkened and he raised his hand to smack Naruto's head, but when Naruto saw the white-haired old man raising his hand, he assumed he was going to pat his head, so he dodged quickly.
"You... you brat!"
"Do you even know what you just did?!"
"He is a Sage from the Three Holy Lands, a being comparable to the Sage of Six Paths!"
"Oh."
Facing the angry Jiraiya, Naruto remained completely unfazed.
'Isn't it just living for a thousand years...'
'I got it.'
'The older something gets without dying, the more it becomes a monster.'
'Old geezer → Monster geezer.'
From now on, when he meets the Great Toad Sage and the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto knew how to greet them politely.
"Hehe..."
Jiraiya was so angry he laughed on the spot.
'I was really so stupid!'
'Back in the Hokage's Office, I should've just left immediately!!'
'Why did I agree to the old man's request?!'
Jiraiya now felt a pain in his head every time he looked at Naruto.
After calming down for a long while, Jiraiya still forced himself back into the role of a teacher and continued instructing Naruto.
"Naruto, use the Summoning Technique again..."
"This time, control your Chakra a bit..."
"Don't use too much."
After some thought, Jiraiya realized there was only one possible explanation for Naruto summoning the Great Toad Sage...
That is, this child must have an absurd amount of Chakra.
And by sheer chance, he ended up calling forth the Great Toad Sage.
"Oh, got it."
Naruto was slightly stunned, then nodded to show he understood.
When he was using the Summoning Technique just now, he was thinking that the more Chakra he used, the bigger the toad he'd summon.
As a result, he unexpectedly summoned the monster geezer, the Great Toad Sage.
Biting his finger lightly, Naruto formed the hand seals again.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang…
At this time, before the two could even see the summoned toad clearly, a rough, cocky voice rang out.
"What do you want from me, Jiraiya?"
"Who are you deal with next?"
Jiraiya: "…"
"This one is way better than the last!"
