Chapter 187
"If this continues, I'm afraid Rasengan won't be successfully mastered within three days..."
Jiraiya's expression changed.
"Didn't pop the balloon?"
"Rasengan can't be successfully mastered?"
"You mean, could it be..."
A triumphant smile appeared on Naruto's haggard and tired face.
"Hehehe..."
He suddenly drew his kusanagi sword from his back, formed hand seals, and unleashed his first true Wind Release Ninja Body Technique.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sword!"
Immediately... boom—
Boom!!!
Violent wind blades tore out from the kusanagi sword, slashing fiercely towards Jiraiya!
Jiraiya was startled and quickly slammed his hand on the ground.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Even so, the massive Earth Release wall was directly cut apart by the Wind Release wind blades, shattering into pieces!
Jiraiya had no choice but to dodge, leaping up onto the teetering Earth Flow Wall.
Looking at the tattered Earth Flow Wall and the torn corner of his own clothes, Jiraiya's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Naruto, you, you actually mastered Wind Release Vacuum Sword..."
Naruto laughed loudly: "And that's not all!"
He suddenly bit his finger, drew a line with his blood on his palm, then formed hand seals and slammed his hands onto the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang—
With a loud bang, a huge cloud of white smoke billowed, and then, an incredibly massive toad was instantly summoned, descending onto the ground!
Jiraiya was even more shocked!
"This, this is..."
"He even mastered the Summoning Technique?!"
"And he actually summoned this guy..."

Appearing before Jiraiya was none other than the great toad of Mount Myōboku, whom even he held in awe... Gamabunta!
He was incredibly massive, clenching a huge pipe in his mouth, with a large short sword hanging at his waist, looking majestic and awe-inspiring!
And Naruto, at this moment, was standing on his head, arms crossed, looking down at Jiraiya with a triumphant air.
"How about it, Pervy Sage?!"
"Isn't he amazing!"
Jiraiya was aghast, then couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
"I didn't expect him to have even mastered the Summoning Technique, and of all things, he summoned this guy..."
Gamabunta blew out a huge smoke ring and looked at Jiraiya, saying.
"What's wrong, Jiraiya, do you have a problem with me?"
Jiraiya laughed heartily: "Not at all, I just didn't expect Naruto to be able to achieve this..."
Gamabunta rolled his eyes upwards, looking towards the top of his head.
"This brat?"
"The first time he summoned me, I was indeed surprised..."
"Besides you and the Fourth Hokage, it's the first time anyone has been able to summon me."
"And, it's even such a brat..."
"However..."
Jiraiya smiled: "However what?"
"Initially, I didn't want to acknowledge him, but then I saw how he trained..."
"Honestly, I've never seen anyone train like that..."
"Completely reckless!"
Jiraiya nodded: "He is indeed like that..."
Gamabunta blew out another large smoke ring.
"Speaking of which, Minato was a true genius, shining brightly and surpassing a generation, while you, Jiraiya, are more of the type who accumulates strength and then erupts..."
"But Naruto, he combines both genius and hard work; his talent is no less than Minato's, and his diligence far surpasses yours..."
Jiraiya smiled: "I admit that."
"Therefore, I also had no choice but to acknowledge this guy..."
Naruto was overjoyed: "Chief Gamabunta, from now on, we are comrades fighting side by side!"
"We'll share the good times and face the difficulties together!"
"When you need me, just summon me, and when I'm in danger, please lend a hand to your junior!"
"Boss? Junior?"
Jiraiya scratched his head.
Gamabunta chuckled: "Even though we haven't drunk the sworn brotherhood sake, Naruto and I are already sworn brothers!"
Jiraiya pouted: "You two really are mischievous..."
"You, who often lose your temper even with me, actually became sworn brothers with Naruto..."
Gamabunta said: "Jiraiya, you should look for the reasons within yourself!"
After saying that, he blew out another large smoke ring, smiled at Jiraiya, and then left a message.
"I'm leaving!"
Soon, his body transformed back into white smoke and disappeared.
Jiraiya sighed: "Gamabunta, that guy, is really as unlikable as ever..."
Naruto jumped down, shaking his head and smiling: "I think Chief Gamabunta is a very good person!"
"That's because he took a liking to you; that guy has a terrible temper!"
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Naruto, I can't believe you managed to successfully master both Wind Release Vacuum Sword and the Summoning Technique in a single day, it's incredible..."
Although Naruto was completely exhausted, he still scratched his head and laughed triumphantly.
"Hahahahaha, of course, after all, I am the genius Ninja Uzumaki Naruto!"
Jiraiya patted his head and took out the prepared gift.
"Very good, then I'll reward you with an ice pop."
With that, he split the ice pop in his hand in half, keeping one half for himself and handing the other to Naruto.
Naruto's heart trembled... Along the way, in the bustling streets of the Short-Tailed Street, he had seen parents with their children buy ice pops and share them more than once, which had always filled Naruto with both envy and sadness... He didn't expect the Pervy Sage to buy one for him too... This wasn't just an ice pop.
For Naruto, this was everything in the world.
This was what he wanted most... Naruto's eyes welled up with tears, but he laughed loudly as he took it.
"Thanks, Pervy Sage!"
"Hmm, finish your ice pop and continue training. Tomorrow is the last day, and I think your Rasengan is still far from complete!"
Naruto nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, after I finish this ice pop, I will definitely master Rasengantomorrow!"
Jiraiya smiled: "Do you know that the Fourth Hokage spent three full years developing this Ninjutsu?"
"And you want to master it within three days?"
"No one would believe it if you told them..."
Naruto said: "The Pervy Sage said the same thing when he taught me Sealing Technique before!"
"And what happened?"
"Didn't I still master it?!"
Jiraiya was convinced: "That's true..."
"You, you completely defy expectations..."
"But that's different. After all, you only have one day left, and you wasted a day yesterday, plus you have to train three Ninjutsu simultaneously..."
"In other words, it's almost like mastering Rasengan in one day!"
"It's simply a fantasy!"
Naruto ate the ice pop in big bites, crunching loudly, as if all his fatigue had vanished without a trace.
"Munch, munch..."
"Don't underestimate me, Pervy Sage, I will definitely learn this technique tomorrow!"
"Good, then I'll wait and see!"
...However, on the last day, Jiraiya didn't give Naruto much time.
His ominous premonition grew stronger, and he could only take Naruto with him to search.
The old man and the young boy walked all over the Short-Tailed Street.
Naruto could only train as he walked... Fortunately, his previous injuries had almost completely recovered after two days of rest.
Plus, without the distraction of multiple Shadow Clones... Naruto's main body gradually grasped the trick to popping the balloon... "Pop!"
"Pop it for me!"
Finally, near noon, Naruto popped the balloon, and a violent burst of Chakra scattered, not only scaring passersby out of their wits but also sending Narutohimself flying from the recoil!
Bang—
Boom!
Naruto crashed heavily into a roadside stall, causing chaos... But his heart was filled with joy.
"I, I succeeded!"
Jiraiya apologized to the vendor while speaking to Naruto.
