Mitsutsuki's POV
Me and Naruto were taking a break from water walking and heading towards the hot springs, 'Falling into the springs will give him enough motivation to actually focuse!' Naruto's chakra control had seemed to be even worse than before so I thought he probably wasn't focusing on chakra control at all.

When we arrived at the hot springs  Naruto was very confused because I didn't tell him why we were here.
"Alright Naruto! We are going to be doing water walking here now, so get to it!" Naruto reluctantly started attempting to water walk in the hot springs, but not without complaints and grumbling of course.

After a few minutes Naruto and I heard some giggling coming from the bath house and I looked over seeing that old man I witnessed running from a mob of angry women back in that town near the border, I deadpanned at the man and walked up behind him. "Hey old man. I see you're angering women again." The old man turned around with a confused expression "Do I know you?"

"No, not really, I just saw you running from a mob of angry women a while back." The old man deadpanned at me
"What are you doing anyway?" The old man looked into a whole in the wall of the bath house and responded with " I am doing research, now if you wouldn't mind scram."

I stared at the old man in silence, trying to figure out who he was because I had the feeling I should know who he is.

"Wait a minute...you're Jiraiya, the Sannin and Toad sage!"

Jiraiya summoned a toad and started making strange poses on top of it "That's right! I am the Hermit of Mt. Myoboku! The wise and immortal spirit! That's right! I am the Toad Mountain Sage!"

Hearing that this old man was someone strong and famous, Naruto ran up to him and started asking the Sannin to train him while I just stood there awkwardly...

Then not hearing the first time he said he was researching Naruto asked what he was doing here.

"Research?"

Jiraiya started reaching into his shirt to reach for something "You see, I'm a novelist. I am a writer of great books. Like this!" He says as he pulls out a book labeled 'Make-Out Paradise' Naruto seemed to remember something and replied with "Wah!? You wrote that!?" Jiraiya put on a proud smile and said "Yes! I see you know it!"

"You call that pervy trash a novel!? Research! Yeah right! It's just an excuse for you to peek at girls in the bath house!" Immediately after Naruto said this they all heard multiple screams from inside the bath house, while Jiraiya also screamed. "AAAAHHHH! Look at what you've done! You ruined my peeking- I mean my research!"

"Dirty old man." Jiraiya jumped in front of Naruto and said "You little! There's nothing dirty about it! I happen to be a serious artist who'd inspired by youth and beauty, that's all! And-"

"Yeah whatever. Like anyone believes that! Who cares anyway!? I need to get back to training!" Jiraiya calms down and hums with curiosity "hm? You mean the walking on water technique you're having so much trouble with?" Naruto seems surprised and asks " You can do it? Ok then you teach it to me cause Mitsutsuki can't teach at all!"

Hearing that comment Mitsutsuki enters a state of gloom and goes to mope in a corner. Jiraiya just scoffs and says "Stop bothering me kid. I'm busy."
Naruto just growles and yells "Hey wait come back here you pervy sage!" And chases after him, leaving Mitsutsuki in his corner.
