Chapter 72- Jiraiya is so done with Naru's sass!

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/ Bijuu speech..."

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

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

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

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

It was already dark outside, as Naruko sank panting to the ground in exhaustion after all the training she did today, but without getting any progress. '...I-It's not working no matter how hard I try...' She thought as she looked at her heavy trembling hands. 'And every time I let my chakra flow, a pain runs down my arms and hands... It feels just like my nerves are being prodded... The more I increase the amount of chakra, the worse the pain gets...' Naru narrowed her eyes at that and sighed, picking the rubber ball up from the ground. "I-I have to let my chakra flow out all at once, so it kinda explodes to being able to burst this rubber ball..." Her eyes widened at that in realization and she took the rubber ball into her two hands while channeling chakra into it. "I get it! The pain tells me the amount of chakra that I'm releasing... so, to get it to burst, I have to bring my level of chakra up to the very threshold of my pain..." She concentrated more and bit on her lip as her hands start to tremble and pain shot through her arms. 'Not yet.... Not yet...' She started to sweat and then her eyes widened for a split moment. 'Now!' Naruko gritted her teeth as she let all her chakra explosion like flow into the rubber ball. The rubber ball began to be dent in all directions before a hole appeared in it and the air flowed slowly out of it.

"Oh, looks like you improved a bit, Naru. Good job." Jiraiya told her while walking towards her.

Naruko just sighed at that. "I only made a little hole, this is nothing compared to letting it burst... I still have to improve much more..." She grumbled in a bit of frustration.

"Come on Naru-chan~ Don't be so stubborn. Let's take a break. Here!" Jiraiya said to her softly as he broke something in his hands with a snap.

"Huh?" Naru looked surprised in his direction, just to see that he was holding one of the same popsicles in his hands, the father and son she saw in town shared earlier that day.

"You've come a long way on your own Naru. You can be proud." Jiraiya held one of the ice creams halves towards her, winking at her with a soft smile.

Naruko's eyes widened at that, and tears gathered in her eyes. "...ERO-SENNIN!" She shouted loudly as she crashed him in a hug, both of them falling onto the ground because Jiraiya definitely didn't expected his goddaughter to just hug him.

He just yelped in surprise as he hit the ground with his back. "Urgh...Naru, get off me." He groaned, having raised the two halves of ice cream over his head so they wouldn't land on the ground.

Naru just sniffed at that touched before standing up while giggling nervously. "Oh yeah... Oops sorry...."

Jiraiya just chuckled in fondness as he sat up, giving Naru her half of the ice-cream. "Let's eat that first before I will give you a little tip for training, huh?"

Naruko beamed at that while she started to eat her ice-cream with an utterly happy expression. Kyuubi just huffed at that in her mindscape. 'That idiotic bastard... First, he's making the brat sad and now happy... Her emotions changed so quick that it isn't normal... That's why I hate humans...They and their stupid emotions...' He thought annoyed but was secretly relieved the brat was happy now.
