Naruto and Jiraiya continued their journey in silence.  After almost ten minutes, Jiraiya suddenly stopped walking and looked at Naruto.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked

"......."

Naruto sighed. "If you just want to stand there without saying anything, I'll leave you alone." said Naruto as he walked leaving Jiraiya behind.

"Naruto, wait."

"What? Do you have any problems, ero sennin? Are you tired?" Naruto asked

"No, that's not what I want to say." said Jiraiya. Naruto looked at Jiraiya's serious face, at that moment he realized what Jiraiya wanted to say to him.

"I want you to be honest with me. Who are you really?" Jiraiya asked

Naruto laughed. "What are you talking about, ero sennin ?? Have you forgotten my name? I'm Uzumaki Naruto!"

"No, that's not what I meant!" Jiraiya said in a serious tone. "Just who are you really? Without fear or hesitation, you ran and attacked Itachi. You didn't even look surprised when you heard that their main priority was you."

"Why should I hesitate when attacking the enemy that is in front of me?" Naruto asked

"Naruto, be honest with me. What exactly are you hiding?"

Naruto sighed, he started to get serious. "Actually they're not targeting me, but their target is what's inside me, right?"

Jiraiya's eyes widened, shocked when he heard it. "You ... you already know about it???"

"I'm not that stupid." said Naruto as he laughed. "How could I not find out about that, when everyone hates me? The villagers have made it too obvious." 

"...... so you've been lying all this time?"

"No ... not really" Naruto said

"What do you mean?"

Naruto smiled, he then continued walking without waiting for Jiraiya. "Haaa ...... actually I want to hide about this forever, but it looks like I can't lie to you anymore. Humph! Disappointing." said Naruto as he sighed loudly.

"O-oi! Answer me!" said Jiraiya as he chased after Naruto. Naruto ignored Jiraiya and continued walking without saying anything. 

After a while ....

"Oi oi, ero sennin! Stop sulking! "

"Who said I sulked?!" said Jiraiya as he continued to walk in front of Naruto. Naruto glared at him.

"Ero sennin !!! Stop sulking, you're an adult."

"Like I said earlier, I'm not sulking!" said Jiraiya as he looked at Naruto.

"Yeah yeah, right. So why are you ignoring me?" Naruto rolled his eyes

"Who said I ignored you?"

'This old man, he's really acting like a child. He is worse than Jiji when sulking.' thought Naruto while frowning. "Like I said earlier, please teach me a new jutsu!"

"Hmm ....." 

"Don't 'Hmm ....' me! You already promised me!" shouted Naruto

"Hmm ... I don't know"

'This damn old man! Urghh! ' Naruto made an annoyed face. "Fine! You can know about everything you want!"

"Really? Then- "

"But ...... you can only know after you teach me a new jutsu, and we've managed to bring Lady Tsunade to the Hidden Leaf." 

"What?!" Jiraiya looked at Naruto with a dissatisfied face. Naruto just ignored him.
