Naruto: wait, wait a minute old man.
Jiraiya froze midstep and said in a confused tone "what is it little Naruto".
Naruto stood his ground and said "how about this, if I fail to learn anything from you, I get to keep my hair".
Jiraiya pondered for a moment with a look of confusion "little Naruto, if I do that, how will you learn the way of the Buddha, if you have hair".
Naruto flinched back a few steps and replied "because if I fail, then why would I have to have a bald head".
Jiraiya instantly came back with a comeback "because in time you will learn even if you can't within the set time".
Naruto felt despair and he thought [does this old man plan to train me in his ways of the Buddha for a long time].
Naruto said in scared manner "old man, what if I still can't learn".
Jiraiya smiled "then we'll train more", Jiraiya started walking towards Naruto again with a smile.
Naruto: wait!.
Jiraiya a little annoyed now asked "what?.
Naruto: and if I say I don't want a bald head and want training.
Jiraiya pondered for a moment "but then you'll be an asura the enemy of the Buddha way, of self righteousness".
Naruto, excited felt a little better hearing this "then we'll go with that, I'll be the blade of the Buddha way".
Naruto thought this was a good idea to get out of the predicament of becoming bald and to his surprise he saw Jiraiya stare at him with some scrutiny.
Naruto: what is that a bad thing.
Jiraiya: no it's actually good, fine I'll teach you the way of the Buddha while keeping your hair.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief but Jiraiya spoke again breaking him out of his reverence "but if you fail to learn anything within three days, we'll be doing it my way.
Naruto thought about what he'd look like without hair and shuddered about it and thought to himself [fine, just this once I'll take this seriously].
Naruto nodded and followed Jiraiya with slow movements after he said "follow me".
In the hyuga residence.
Hinata was looking for her sister hanabi who has her upcoming birthday in a week she'll be three this year.
She thought about giving her an early present and was struggling to find her, so she went to her father hiashi to see if he knows where she is.
Even hiashi didn't know where she went and now the two were looking around the compound to search for her.
It soon turned midnight and no one could find her, it wasn't until they were about to take the search outside that she appeared.
Hinata asked where she was and hanabi didn't say anything in which annoyed hiashi who was standing behind Hinata at some point.
Hiashi stepped forward crossed his arms while looking down at hanabi and said "if you don't tell me, then I'll make sure your surroundings are always monitored".
Hanabi flinched at this and she looked down with a pout "I was outside playing".
Hiashi frowned and asked "with who".
Hanabi flinched and didn't say anything and hiashi spoke up with a higher tone "with who".
Hanabi started fiddleling with her fingers just like the young Hinata did and she said with a little reluctance "I was playing with my friend".
Hiashi started to get impatient and raised his voice further "I asked you who hanabi".
Hanabi didn't want to say and she also didn't want to be constantly monitored, she finally relented and chose to say the name "his name is Nero".
Hiashi was stunned and he thought [my little cabbage already has a male friend, no I refuse!].
Hiashi: Nero, Nero who.
He asked this question in case he came from a big background, he didn't want to cause any blunder especially when the uchiha clan which was strong just vanished over night.
Hanabi scratched her cheek with some thought and replied with a look of forgetfulness "I think.. it was hatake".
Hiashi was stunned and immediately thought of kakashi but then he shook his head [that guy is a single manic type, forever single with only one goal in his is but serving others].
He put his hand on his chin and tried to think of any other's with the surname of hatake but couldn't think of anything, until one name appeared in his mind the owner of the mitsugoshi group.
He started sweating profusely and thought [such a rich person has a child and he's friends with my daughter].
He walked away from his two daughters thinking about what to do "should I stop this, from becoming more or allow it, should I make a demand for a marriage before they grow up, and ask for the down pay in advance".
Yes hiashi has started having thoughts about selling his daughter to a rich person to gain some money and possibly a good relationship while getting his daughter out of the cage bird seal.
He muttered to himself "it's a win, win".
Hanabi and Hinata who watched hiashi walk away without saying anything further felt strange he'd normally start yelling or give a look of disapproval.
Hinata felt as if hanabi is much more free in moving around than herself and felt a little jealous, then she threw the thought away and she said in mind [it's my sister].
Hanabi immediately ran to her room holding a necklace and Hinata froze "wait, where did she get that".
A couple of days later.
Jiraiya has took Naruto back to konoha and Naruto was slouching and he thought "thank God the old man went easy on me or else I'd be a bald headed idiot like him".
Naruto stood up properly and said to himself further "at least the old man taught me that technique, ain't no one gonna win against me in this exam".
Jiraiya took Naruto back to the chunin area and he started crying "my little lamb has grown, I'll be watching over you during your victory".
Naruto's face started twitching and he replied "don't worry old man I'll show them".
