The training makes Naruto more confident in his abilities. Jiraiya constantly challenges Naruto and as Naruto overcomes these challenges, he realizes his own strength. He starts to believe in himself more, which is evident in the way he faces stronger opponents without hesitation later on. Also, Jiraiya's teachings about the ninja way and the importance of protecting those you love make Naruto more determined and focused on his goals.
Jiraiya's training in the fanfiction might focus on Naruto's inner strength as well. He could help Naruto better understand and control the Nine - Tails' power. This new - found control would give Naruto a sense of calm and authority. His character would shift from being just a loud - mouthed underdog to a more respected and powerful ninja. Naruto would also learn about loyalty and sacrifice from Jiraiya, which would shape his values.
One unique method could be training in extreme environments. Jiraiya might take Naruto to a desolate desert or a freezing tundra to test his endurance and ability to adapt. This forces Naruto to find new ways to use his chakra and skills.
Jiraiya's serious training helps Naruto a great deal. It makes Naruto more disciplined. He has to follow strict routines and endure tough physical and mental challenges. This helps him become stronger both in terms of his ninja skills and his ability to face difficulties in general.
The early training would enhance Naruto's ability to empathize. Jiraiya has been through a lot in his life, and he could share his experiences with Naruto. Naruto, in turn, would be able to understand the pain and struggles of others better. This would make him not just a stronger ninja, but also a more well - rounded and compassionate person in the village.
Naruto's character development is significant. With Jiraiya's serious training, Naruto becomes more disciplined. He learns advanced jutsu quicker and starts to understand the deeper aspects of being a ninja. His confidence grows not just in his strength but also in his decision - making abilities.
One possible reason could be that in this fanfiction, Jiraiya might be preoccupied with other important matters. Maybe he has a secret mission that demands his full attention and he simply doesn't have the time to train Naruto. Another reason could be that there is some sort of conflict or misunderstanding between them that prevents Jiraiya from taking Naruto under his wing. For example, Naruto might have unknowingly offended Jiraiya in some way, or there could be a prophecy or external force that is keeping them apart for the time being.
It would likely accelerate his growth. Jiraiya is a very experienced ninja. With his guidance, Naruto would gain more confidence. For example, if Jiraiya found Naruto early on, he could teach Naruto better control of his chakra, which was a struggle for Naruto in the beginning. This would make Naruto more efficient in battles and less reliant on brute force.
In this fanfiction, their relationship would be transformed. They would be like a married couple in a way, but without the formalities. Jiraiya would probably tone down his womanizing ways as he has a family to think about now. Tsunade would be more open and less prickly around Jiraiya. They would bicker less and cooperate more. Their relationship would be centered around Naruto, and as he grows, they would grow together as a family unit, with their bond getting stronger over time.
To act like Jiraiya in fanfiction, Naruto should adopt Jiraiya's courage. Jiraiya was never afraid to face strong opponents. Naruto could show this by taking on difficult missions alone or standing up against powerful villains without hesitation. Jiraiya was also a bit of a loner at times, and Naruto could have moments in the fanfic where he goes off on his own to train or to think. This would add depth to his character, showing that he's not just the boisterous Naruto we know, but also someone who can be introspective like Jiraiya.
Perhaps Jiraiya has some personal issues or inner conflicts. He might be dealing with his own past traumas or demons that prevent him from taking on the role of Naruto's trainer. For example, he could be haunted by the failures in his previous relationships or battles, and he feels unfit to train Naruto until he sorts out his own problems.
