''N-NO!'' Hidan or rather, his head yelled after seeing these golden-colored Chains piercing his body like it was paper. That was for a reason, he didn't fear being sealed, however, at this moment, Hidan felt all of his power draining away, the killer felt, for the first time, the fear of being near death.
And that was exactly what happened, it was unknown if that was a function from the Adamantine Sealing Chains or a mutation but Hidan could feel that even if he was immortal, he would die. Seconds passed as every single power was drained out of Hidan's body, killing him.
''...Brat, if you had that power from the very start, why the f*ck didn't you use it?'' Jiraiya asked incredulously, even Haku felt betrayed. Such power would make their missions so much easier, remembering the times they nearly died, the long-haired youngster wanted to cry.
Seeing their reactions, Naruto looked to the side while scratching the back of his head embarrassedly: ''Eh... I don't know what you two mean, I awakened this power just yesterday, yeah, I'm not lying at all...''
Jiraiya and Haku: ''You suck at lying!''
Naruto: ''...''
After that, all of them laughed at their own interactions before Naruto's face became serious. Removing a part of the Akatsuki's robe, he touched it as his eyes started to shine slightly, all stars of the universe seemed to be contained within it as he muttered: ''Eye of Time...''
'So that's how it is... One of them is called Tobi, the masked man. Another is that black creature that feels somehow familiar, oh, I remember! I remember seeing its presence near Konoha once, to think it was from the Akatsuki! Is it a pet or something?'
If Black Zetsu was to know of his thoughts, it was definitely going to be angered. It is Kaguya's Will, Kaguya's son! Alas, in Naruto's mind, he wasn't anything out of the 'pet' bounds.
...
''What are we going to do right now, Ero Sennin?'' Haku asked indifferently, he was a bit anxious knowing Akatsuki was hunting them or rather, Naruto. Even so, to him, Naruto was a friend he didn't want to lose, he may or may have not disliked the blonde teenager a bit in the start but it faded away over time.
Jiraiya frowned slightly before he said: ''Even though we had concealed ourselves perfectly, they still found us. This can only mean that they have an exceptional sensor that probably has a Kekkei Genkai that enables him to feel us from very far away.''
'This will need to fasten up their training, I'll have to bring them to 'that' place. The only place where nobody can sense.' Jiraiya thought to himself as his frown deepened.
Seeing his expression, Naruto asked curiously: ''Ero Sennin, what are you thinking about? It's not about a naked woman again, right?''
''Oi, do you think I only care about that?'' Jiraiya yelled before feeling betrayed as both Naruto and Haku nodded in sync. Sighing, he said: ''As much as I hate to admit, we're not Akatsuki opponents as of now. Since we've taken down already three of their members, next time, they'll send not only two but four and they'll be even stronger.''
''Even if it's me... I'm not confident on dealing with their leader, Pain. Naruto, despite having won seemingly easily, you know that the reason you won like that is that you slowly broke the enemy fighting spirit. Showing that you know about his technique and so on, even so... you have several injuries.'' Jiraiya pointed out several bleeding wounds and burn marks over Naruto's body.
''Meh, these injuries are only minor ones.'' Naruto said indifferently before sitting down to recover of his injuries. Chuckling at his reaction, Jiraiya said towards Haku: ''You too, Haku, you're not prepared to face the Akatsuki completely yet. As such, we'll need to go into hiding for some time.''
Before Naruto could protest as he was anxious to blast some of Kirigakure and Iwagakure's bases, Jiraiya said: ''Don't complain yet. This place is known as Mount Myoboku and is where I learned my Sage Mode, it's a place filled with Natural Energy, as both of you know, Chakra is an internal energy.''
''Natural Energy is an external energy whose origin comes from Nature itself. Techniques infused with such energy is called 'Senpou (Sage Art)' or 'Senjutsu) 'Sage Jutsu'. We'll go there to train not only your base abilities but also to help all the two of you with Natural Energy to learn the so-called Sage Mode.'' Jiraiya said in one breath.
Then, he closed his eyes for a moment before red marks covered his eyes, which became toad-like. Naruto saw that and muttered: ''Why is the Sage Mode so ugly? You're looking like a Toad, dude...''
Jiraiya chopped Naruto's head as he said: ''This is because my Sage Mode is imperfect so I take some Toad characteristics. I'm sure that both of you can attain a Perfect Sage Mode, I believe in your potential!''
Naruto and Haku: ''Should we feel emotional or honored?''
Jiraiya: ''...''
Sighing while feeling there was no warmth in the world anymore, Jiraiya muttered to himself: ''Damned brats... Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
A puff of smoke was heard as a big Toad appeared and said: ''Sup, Jiraiya-san, decided to finally summon me? My old man keeps saying that you're not bringing him to do research again, every time he says it, mother would beat him to submission.''
'Definitely Gamabunta... That old Toad is a huge pervert, literally.' Naruto thought to himself while rolling his eyes. Jiraiya looked towards the Toad before saying: ''Well, I'm bringing my disciples to the Mt. Myoboku so they can train safely and attain the Sage Mode.''
''I see.'' The Toad said before his mouth became wide-open. Jiraiya forcefully dragged Haku and Naruto with him as the Toad said: ''Reverse Kuchiyose no Jutsu!''
[A/N: Who knows if there are some Toad hotties for Gamabunta near the Thermal Waters lmao]
