Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Jiraiya replied that he was his disciple. And he nodded, seeing his resemblance to Minato.

— "Alright. But prepare yourself, young man, because this training will be harder than anything you've ever known."

The following days were a true ordeal for Naruto. Learning to draw from natural energy was a daunting task. Every time he failed, he partially transformed into a toad, which caused Jiraiya's mocking laughter.

— "Hey, it's not funny, old pervert!" Naruto shouted after yet another transformation.

— "Focus, kid. It's that or you end up as a full-time frog," Jiraiya replied, chuckling.

Despite the difficulties, Naruto never gave up. Little by little, he learned to feel the natural energy, channel it, and integrate it into his chakra.

One day, after months of training, Naruto finally succeeded in entering the hermit mode. His eyes took on a yellow hue, and a new strength emanated from him.

— "I did it! Look at me, Master Jiraiya!" Naruto exclaimed, euphoric.

— "Not bad, kid. But now, let's see if you can use it in combat," Jiraiya said with a mischievous smile.

They spent the following days training in combat, Naruto testing his new abilities against Jiraiya. And under Jiraiya's guidance, he infused Fūton into his Rasengan, creating the RasenShuriken.

Year 64

After a year at Mount Myōboku, Naruto was transformed. He was stronger, more confident, and ready to face any challenge.

Back in Konoha, Shikai was waiting for him.

— "So, how did it go?" Shikai asked, seeing the determined look in Naruto's eyes.

— "I'm ready, sensei! Thanks to Master Jiraiya, I'm stronger than ever!" Naruto replied with a dazzling smile.

Shikai nodded, satisfied.

— "Alright. Show me what you've learned."

...

The sun was high in the sky, its rays illuminating the training grounds of Konoha. Naruto Uzumaki, dressed in his iconic orange attire, was back after a year of intense training with Jiraiya. His gaze shone with a new confidence, but he knew he would need to prove that all his hard work had paid off.

Facing him stood Shikai Nara, a shinobi known for his vertiginous speed and tactical mind. Shikai had decided to test Naruto's new prowess in a training battle, but Naruto knew it wouldn't be a walk in the park.

Shikai, his arms crossed, observed Naruto with a calm, almost disinterested air.

— "So, Naruto, Jiraiya told me you've made great progress. Show me what you're worth."

Naruto clenched his fists, a determined smile on his lips.

— "Get ready, sensei! I'm not the same kid I was before!"

With a leap, Naruto activated the hermit mode. His eyes turned bright yellow with slit pupils, and an aura of natural power emanated from him.

Shikai, impressed but still stoic, nodded.

— "Interesting. Let's see if your hermit mode is as impressive as mine." Shikai could remain in hermit mode for nearly thirty minutes. But in the Naruto manga, Naruto could only be in hermit mode for a few minutes.

Without waiting, Shikai disappeared in a flash. Naruto, surprised, felt a gust of wind behind him.

— "Too slow, Naruto," Shikai murmured, appearing behind him.

Shikai delivered a swift kick, but Naruto, thanks to his enhanced senses, dodged at the last moment and counterattacked with a powerful punch. The ground shook under the impact, but Shikai had already moved away using his Hiraishin technique.

Naruto growled, frustrated.

— "What is that speed?!

— "It's just the beginning," Shikai replied, suddenly appearing at his right.

Shikai used his special martial art, combining cellular activation and surgical strikes, targeting Naruto's nerve points. With each blow, Naruto felt tingling in his limbs, disrupting his movements.

— "What are you doing, sensei?! My arms... they're not responding!" Naruto cried, backing away.

— "It's a technique that scrambles your nervous system. You can't afford to leave openings, even in hermit mode," Shikai explained calmly.

Naruto, despite the blows, refused to be defeated. He formed several shadow clones around Shikai, trying to surround him.

— "Not bad, Naruto, but you're forgetting who you're fighting," Shikai said with a slight smile.

With a swift movement, Shikai activated a Hiraishin seal on one of the clones and teleported instantly, destroying the formation. But Naruto took advantage of this moment to prepare a RasenShuriken.

— "This time, you won't escape, Sensei!" Naruto shouted, launching his devastating attack.

Shikai, observing the enormous swirling sphere of chakra, performed an acrobatic jump while using a powerful Suiton: *Spinning Water Wall* to cushion the impact. The ground was flooded, but Shikai reappeared behind Naruto thanks to his lightning speed.

— "You're powerful, Naruto, but your RasenShuriken takes too long to prepare. You need to perfect it."

Naruto, frustrated by Shikai's constant evasions, tried to maintain his hermit mode while launching another assault. But Shikai intensified the pressure, using his Nara techniques to temporarily immobilize Naruto.

— "Kagemane no Jutsu: Shadow Vice."

Shikai's shadows extended, grabbing Naruto by the feet.

— "Damn! Not these damn shadows again!" Naruto grumbled.

Shikai took advantage of this to deliver a precise blow to Naruto's solar plexus, sending him back several meters.

— "You're too impulsive, Naruto. The hermit mode is powerful, but you have to know how to use it intelligently."

Naruto, panting, attempted one last offensive. He created three clones to help him form a new RasenShuriken.

— "This time, I'll get you!"
