The group remained in Tanzaka for two more days following Laxus and Lucy's completion of the waterfall exercise to fully rest from their battle against Orochimaru. Much to Shizune's objections, Tsunade had been trying to either drag Laxus back to the casino, or get him to lend her some of his money, which did not work so well seeing as Jiraiya was the one who was holding onto Laxus's money.
Laxus had spent most of those days trying to coax Jiraiya into either teaching him the next exercise for wind manipulation, or teaching him a wind Jutsu. Jiraiya gave into the later, not wanting to move onto the next exercise as he felt that Asuma, another person in the Leaf with a known wind element, would be better suited for that. Jiraiya didn't come fully prepared to teach them actual wind Jutsu, not expecting them to progress this far in their training,

however, he did bring along one scroll with a rather basic wind Jutsu, Wind Style: Gale Palm.

After examining the scroll, the idea of this Jutsu was to compress the wind chakra in between clasped hands and unleash it as a powerful gust. The technique was a basic C-rank Jutsu, but Jiraiya convinced Laxus that it was a good place to start. Regardless of the rank, Laxus was excited to finally be learning his first elemental Jutsu. Being only a C-rank Jutsu, it only took them a day to get the basics of the Jutsu down. The hardest part was compressing the chakra between their hands before they infused it with the wind element. Believe it or not, the compression part was not too difficult for Laxus, as he has already had experience compressing and containing chakra with his Rasengan. Lucy followed closely behind with getting the Jutsu down. The results were rather impressive for a first time as the two genin unleashed their attack on an unsuspecting tree, managing to rip a few larger branches off of it. In combat, this technique was not necessarily meant to wound an opponent, but knock them back with a great force of wind. It also showed promise as a defensive technique, being able to blow away most thrown projectile weapons.

When the time came for them to return home and Tsunade to assume her role as Hokage, they left Tanzaku town. From there, it was a two day walk and thankfully for Jiraiya, there was a hot spring village at the half way point. This was where they decided to stop for the night.
Inside the bath, Jiraiya and Laxus were in the men's bathing area with Shizune, Tsunade, and Lucy over in the woman's bathing area. Surprisingly enough, Jiraiya wasn't even attempting to peep. The barrier was perfect for that, being a wall of stacked bamboo and it would be rather easy to wedge a pencil in to give him an opening. However, there were two things preventing him from doing so. The first was that threat from Hiashi a few weeks ago. He liked a healthy chakra flow to certain areas of his body, but what really stopped him, was the second. On the other side of the wall was Tsunade. Even though he was a pervert, he wasn't a stupid pervert. The last time he had been caught peeping on Tsunade was the first time in his life where he nearly died and he didn't want to be spending the next month in the ICU with Tsunade being the one in charge of him.

"Wow Pervy Sage, I'm impressed you aren't peeping" said Laxus. Jiraiya was leaning back against the edge of the bath, taking a sip form a bottle of sake that he had brought with him.

"Kid, there's more to life than women" said Jiraiya. "Speaking of which, are there any girls back home that you, well...you know."

"Huh?..." said Laxus, as dense as ever.

"Uhg, and I thought he was actually making progress these past few weeks" thought Jiraiya. "You know...are there any girls back at home that are special to you?"

"Huh? Girls that are special to me?" asked Laxus, still confused at where the old pervert was trying to get at.

"..." even the Fox was at a loss of words.
