To expedite the process of becoming a [[sage]], Fukasaku rubs some oil from a fountain on Naruto so he can take in natural chakra and become familiarised with it before the real rigorous training begins. Naruto suggests the idea of using [[shadow clones]] to expedite the training process. After hard work and revelation that only those with high chakra reserves like [[Jiraiya]] and himself could undergo senjutsu training, Naruto finally begins to make progress making a slight but acceptable transition into frog form. He lifts a frog statue and sadly, topples it which Fukasaku scolds him for. He has doubts that he is becoming less human by the hour and when he goes to eat. Fukasaku later find Naruto and gives him Jiraiya's first novel, ''[[The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi (novel)|The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi]]''. Naruto reads it and after becoming emotional, he reminisces on a time where he and Jiraiya had a talk about world peace. The scene skips into the extraction of the tailed beast where [[Tobi]], [[Zetsu]] and [[Kisame]] realise that Sasuke has blundered and only a [[Octopus Leg Clone|transformed appendage]] of the Eight-Tails. [[Pain]] later sets out to invade [[Konoha]] and procure the [[Nine-Tailed Demon Fox]]. Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
