Back at the hotel, Jiraiya was already back.
He was lying on a bed without any grace, smelling strongly of alcohol. It seemed like he had drunk a lot.
"Where did you go?" Jiraiya suddenly asked.
"The casino."
"The casino? Is gambling fun?"
"Not really."
Naruto hung his coat on the rack and lay down on another bed.
"I think so too. Gambling is the most boring thing," Jiraiya yawned, turned over, and muttered, "Fate is in your own hands. If you rely on luck, you'll only lose more than you win."
Naruto glanced at Jiraiya, then closed his eyes and didn't answer.
If he hadn't come along, Tsunade probably would have won one of the few betting games in her life.
...
The next day,
Naruto and Jiraiya set out again on the road to Amegakure Village.
However, Jiraiya seemed to be intentionally taking Naruto to travel around, not rushing to their final goal.
Naruto didn't care about this.
Life can be meaningful, or it can be meaningless.
Lying bored in bed all day, or just wandering aimlessly on solid concrete ground, is also part of life.
When material things and power are satisfied, many people start to pursue spiritual satisfaction.
Faith, love, friendship, family, or art.
Most people want too much, so they never get satisfied.
Luckily, Naruto has never been a greedy person when it comes to spiritual needs.
Good conditions and a young body allow him to enjoy freedom and waste time in life to the fullest!
"Naruto, here's a gift for you!"
Jiraiya suddenly took out two hardcover copies of "Intimate Paradise" from his clothes and handed them to Naruto.
"Why are you giving me a gift?" Naruto took the two books, puzzled.
"Happy birthday! From today on, you are truly 16 years old!"
"Birthday?"
Since crossing over, Naruto has never celebrated his birthday.
There are two main reasons for this: one is that he doesn't know 'Uzumaki Naruto's' birthday, and the other is that he himself doesn't have much need to celebrate birthdays.
Buying a cake by yourself, putting candles on it, and then trying to feel warmth in loneliness?
Naruto doesn't need to do that.
"Thank you."
Although he doesn't care about birthdays, he won't ignore other people's kindness.
Jiraiya glanced at him and said, "I originally wanted to buy you a cake, but the town yesterday didn't have such things. Sorry."
"Why apologize?" Naruto asked, puzzled.
"You should always have a birthday cake for your birthday, right?" Jiraiya laughed.
Naruto was silent for a while and said, "Then I'll say you owe me one."
Jiraiya: "..."
"We're here," Naruto said.
Standing on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, you can clearly sense the differences between the two countries.
"It's raining so hard, it's a bit strange!"
Rain Tiger at Will Technique!
One of the pieces of information Naruto told him before.
As long as you get touched by the rain, the user will find out!
Although it is not yet certain whether the information Naruto said is true, it is still necessary to be on guard.
"Are we going in now?" Naruto opened an umbrella and asked.
"No, not yet."
Jiraiya shook his head, then made hand signs.
Naruto noticed that Jiraiya's Chakra suddenly overflowed and wrapped around his whole body.
This appearance is a bit like a tailed beast cloak!
"This is a ninjutsu I developed based on the Jinchuriki's ability. Although it can't enhance my own strength by borrowing the power of the tailed beast like a Jinchuriki, it can have a very good use."
After Jiraiya said this, he reached into the rain.
Under the effect of Chakra, all the rain was blocked out.
"Raincoat Skill! Impressive, right?" Jiraiya said proudly.
"Well, at least you don't have to carry an umbrella with you, but if your Chakra touches the rain, Nagato will still sense it, right?" Naruto questioned.
The principle of the Rain Tiger at Will Technique is to inject your Chakra into the rain and sense it through the raindrops!
That is to say, whether it's an umbrella or Chakra, Nagato will sense anything that the rainwater touches!
So using a Chakra raincoat to block the rain is no different from wearing deep red underwear inside a white shirt!
"Hmph, you underestimate me!"
Jiraiya smiled meaningfully, "My Raincoat Skill can not only block the rain, but also deceive it!"
"Deceive?"
Seeing that Naruto still didn't understand, Jiraiya reminded him, "What does my raincoat look like?"
What does it look like?
What else can a raincoat look like besides a raincoat?
Naruto narrowed his eyes and stared at the Chakra raincoat for a while before noticing the extraordinary thing about it from the side!
From the front, the raincoat is just a somewhat oversized piece of clothing, but from the side, it looks like an animal!
"Is that a wild pig?"
"That's right!"
Jiraiya felt a sense of joy that his hidden surprise had been suddenly discovered, "I shaped the Chakra raincoat into the shape of an animal, so I can deceive the other party's Chakra sensing!"
The Rain Tiger at Will Technique is not like the Telescopic Technique, which can see the target's situation through the eyes. It can only transmit the target's information to the user through a touch-like method!
After knowing the special feature of Jiraiya's Raincoat Skill, Naruto couldn't help but admire Jiraiya's imagination!
But the tailed beasts really are full of treasures!
Even just observing them can give ninjas unexpected inspiration!
Namikaze Minato developed the Rasengan based on the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Jiraiya developed the Raincoat Skill based on the tailed beast cloak.
This made Naruto want to see Kurama, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, inside him.
The last time he met Kurama was the time before that. Although he didn't miss him, he was still his tenant!
Even if he can't pay the rent, he should provide some emotional value, right?
While Naruto was thinking about when to see Kurama, Jiraiya handed him a scroll.
"This contains the learning experience about the Raincoat Skill. In the few days that I observe, you should learn this ninjutsu first."
After Jiraiya said this, he left with a Body Flicker Technique without giving Naruto a chance to speak.
Naruto didn't know what Jiraiya was going to do, but looking at the Raincoat Skill in his hand, he really didn't have much interest in learning it.
The appearance of the Raincoat Skill is mainly to hide yourself, but why hide?
If you want to find Nagato, why don't you just go find him directly?
"People without strength always like to do troublesome things."
Naruto sat on the ground, propped up his head, and opened the scroll to read it.
The ninjutsu that looks very powerful is only useful for killing time for Naruto now.
After all, most of the ninjutsu in this world can't help him improve his strength.
