Demon fox

Moon man

Naruto watched with sleepy eyes and a growing scowl as the white haired man gave his overly grandiose introduction, the man identified himself as Jiraiya of the Sannin and Naruto slammed his door to his face.

"I am not buying." He yelled. "Knock on the next door."

"Hey hear me out buddy!" The Sannin called. "I helped you out in the old man's office didn't I? Atleast give me a minute."

Naruto groaned as he recalled that torturous moments a month in the past.
His focus had been on funinjutsu and sealing arts. With the finals approaching, he had things stacked on top of eachother, he disnt want to come deadlast this year either.

He opened the door. "Last time I gave a Sannin a minute of my day, I was rewarded with a man creeping in my head, invading in the most private of my moments, reading me like a book on the side walk." He glared at the man. "It was mindrape because calling it a mindfuck would mean I gave them consent."

Jiraiya shuddered. "No need to bite me grumpy ass, they were trying to make you forget."

"No body asked me if I wanted to forget." Naruto hissed back. He looked at the man who looked back at him iin disappointment. He huffed. Again he felt sad. Who was this man. How was he related to that man of memories. He felt nostalgia, sadness... alright fuck it.

"I have just gotten back from my morning routine, my muscles are screaming, I am tired and I carve a shower so make it quick or I will slap an explosion tag in you, and believe me I am not very good at making sealing tags so even I don't know what will happen when it explodes." He hissed. "You got that?"

"Deal!" The Sannin said as he walked past him, looking around his room.
"Oh, so you do have organizational skills." He said as he picked a scroll from the stack and then placed it back.
"Failed seals.. sub par calligraphy..." he nodded.

He opened the fridge. "Eat nothing but ramen, should have known." The man shuddered as if remembering something.

"This is snooping." Naruto found himself complaining.

"I call it inspection of my prospectus pupil." The man said as he walked further.

"Pupil?"

"Yeah, by the authorization of the hokage after quite persuading, I am allowed to train you when ever I am in the village. I am not in the village often, and I don't stay for long. But I am a seal master and I am a Sannin so I know quite a lot." The old man smiled. "What do you say?"

Naruto frowned. "Say what?"

The old man laughed. "Say about training with me. I will teach you proper stuff."

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "All this is a hoax to make sure you can monitor me and this seal isn't it?" He took a step back. "You are just like them."

Jiraiya rolled his eyes. "Realky kid? You asking me that, I am not Orochimaru, I am not crazy. Nor am I one of those clan heads with a stick up their ass but I can curve stomp all of them if need be." The Sannin sat himself down on the bed. "Do you think I need to ask your permission to keep an eye on you?"

Naruto gulped. "What's the catch?"

"The catch?"

"There is always a catch." Naruto said.

"The catch is that I teach you how to properly control the powers you have, teach you some manners cause you do need them, make sure you don't get yourself killed and make sure you can save yourself when no one is guarding you."

"I can detect people easily, no one will be able to jump me." Naruto scoffed.

"You are arrogant too." He heard the Sannin laugh. Naruto frowned but the next moment his head was pulled back, his hair dropped on the old man's hand and a kunai was a hair's width away from his byakugan eye.
