Chapter 71- The training continues and Jiraiya is being an idiot?!

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/ Bijuu speech..."

'Kyuubi communicating with Naruko inside her head...'

'Kyuubi's thoughts, Naruko can't hear...'

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I'm really starting to regret taking her on this trip with me..." Jiraiya just grumbled sulkily, while his eyebrow twitched in annoyance as he looked at the cheerily Naruko next to him.

"Haa... This was my best prank until now I think~" Naruko said cheerily while she and Jiraiya made their way towards the inn.

'Pfft... Definitely...' Kyuubi agreed with her after chuckling a bit, still having the pathetic faces Jiraiya made in his mind.

Jiraiya's eyebrow just twitched more at that before he sighed in defeat. "Sometimes I really hate you, Naru-chan~" He whined at her. "This prank really hurt my feelings..."

Naruko just looked at him with a deadpan expression at that. "Well, you could have avoided it with NOT going to frigging enjoy yourself while I train and everything! Besides that, you should get information about the whereabouts of Tsunade-san, not sitting in a brothel all day!" She huffed at him angrily.

Jiraiya just sighed at that again. "Okay, okay, you know what? Let's make peace and get back to the inn for now."

"Sure, peace accepted." Naruko said with a happy smile, really not wanting to get Jiraiya too mad at her, he was still something like a grandfather-figure for her... Well, more likely a perverted grandfather-figure.

Kyuubi just rolled his eyes at that as Naruko and Jiraiya reached the inn and then laid his head on his paws, knowing the brat forgot something. He smirked in amusement. '1...2...3...'

"WAAHH!" Naruko shouted loudly in realization, scaring Jiraiya who just wanted to open the door to the in and now spun around in alarm.

"Naru... What's wrong-" Jiraiya wanted to ask her in slight concern, before being interrupted.

"I totally forgot the training! And it's this late already! Waah! I have to catch up and train almost the whole night for that!" Naruko shouted in panic. "Until later, Ero-Sennin!" She just told him quickly before being gone with only a dust cloud left behind as she raced towards the forest on top of the cliff.

Jiraiya just chuckled at that in fondness while shaking his head. 'You really are something else, Naru...' He smiled in fondness as he went into the inn.

Naruko trained hard for the next more than three hours. It was already dark outside as she sank panting to the ground, sweating heavily from exhaustion. "Urgh... What am I doing wrong?! It just keeps on stretching flat like rubber and doesn't even make one sign to break! What is Ero-Sennin doing different?" She said in frustration and exhaustion.

'Well...maybe you should think over the technique you're using...' Kyuubi gave her a little tip before going back to sleep.
