Waiting for Jiraiya to come was tiring, it was somewhat pleasing to see Naruto yelling as he repeatedly fell on hot water again and again.
To some point, I even wanted to just go up to him and remove the seal which Orochimaru might or might not have put on him.
However, I'm not sure that I can successfully remove that 5 elemental mark from him. It's some high-end stuff in sealing after all. My sealing techniques are definitely not as good as Orochimaru or Jiraiya.
I wasn't wasting time either though, training in Convergence was taking all my time right now, Besides training in this one technique and sealing under Jiraiya, I definitely don't have time to do anything else.
Soon Jiraiya also came along, he was just like how he was shown in the anime, just like many I too was a fan of the gallant sage of Mount Myoboku.
However, his grander didn't last for long considering he was showing a lecherous face and started peeking at the woman's side of the bath.
Sigh.
I can't help but sigh at this time, this might be the only drawback of learning under him.
I didn't do anything for the time being, just kept on training until Naruto finally met Jiraiya and then they finally were ready to train, cutting all the nonsense that is.

"It's an honour to meet you, Jiraiya Sama. I am Shika Nara.
I'm here becuase Hokage sama told me to ask your guidance in Sealing Arts." I said later when both Naruto and Jiraiya were really ready to train.
"Eh, Hokage told you. I didn't get any notice about this." Jiraiya didn't say but more like grumbled under his breath but I heard him just right, I thought that something like this might happen, seems like I was on my own at this one.
While I was about to retrieve a scroll in which Hokage gave me a particular sealing technique which I needed to learn under Jiraiya, the pervert stopped me, he just shook his hand and replied.
"No need, that's ain't gonna help you, kid, if you really wish for me to teach you then you have to first pass a test of mine," Jiraiya said and I just blinked like saying keep talking.
"Hmm... okay Jiraiya sama, what I must do to train under you," I asked while glancing at Naruto who was still trying to walk on water but falling fabulously.
Earlier I thought that he was just bad at chakra control, which he honestly is but not this bad, seems like Orochimaru really put the seal on Naruto.
"See that kid over there, teach him water walking. If you can then I will teach you seals." Jiraiya pointed at Naruto and returned back to peeking at the girls.
I, on the other hand, remain there gawking at him, I take what I said back, seeing how nonchalant Jiraiya was about this, it seems like Hokage did talk with him about training me, it's just that he is too busy peeping that to do that.
Sigh...
I glance back at Naruto and roll my eyes, I just create a clone and send it to train Convergence until I waste my time on Naruto.
---
"Yo Shika, what are you doing here." Naruto, soaking in the river water by now, came out and upon seeing me walking towards him, asked with a bright smile, seems like the annoyance around him was already gone.
"Lord Jiraiya sent me to train you in water walking," I replied while passing him and walking on the river, showing that I could walk on water, so I cut the normal chit-chat from Naruto.
"Huh, that pervy sage send you. I knew that he just wanted to peep at those girls." Naruto shouted, no, more like talk but his usual talking is more or less shouting for others.
*PAT...
"What are you talking about, show some respect, that pervy sage you are talking about is one of the Sannin. Yes, he is a pervert but he is one of the strongest Ninja in Konoha. Stop calling him that, at least call him Master Jiraiya..." I hit his head with clear irritation.
All that shouting was getting to me now, but more than that, this guy is annoying, who after all has the luxury to call Jiraiya Pervy Sage and get away with it.
Only Naruto if there is one. Though his childhood was bad, I can't deny that but Naruto's background and his plot armor are so fucking thick that nothing can penetrate it.
"Why did you hit me ?" Naruto shouted and asked me.
"Alright, let's stop wasting time, the faster we can train the faster we can get the real training from Jiraiya. Don't you wanna learn a super cool jutsu Naruto?
Let's do it..." I reply to convey Naruto and distract his attention.
He quickly brightened up and shouted.
Before doing anything he turns at me and looks at me with strange eyes, making me confused.
"You beat Sasuke...
I...I will win against you in the finals." Naruto said with a determined face like he wanted to prove something. I on the other hand just roll my eyes internally.
"We are not fighting each other idiot. I'm to fight Gaara, while you have to fight..." I was saying but then stop, who does he have to fight again? I don't know, I wasn't there when the announcement took place, I only learned later on who I'm supposed to fight.
"Still... I will beat you." Naruto grins and saying that he immediately turns around, ready to start training again.
I saw this and just thought about the complicated rivalry between the two boys.
Naruto is naturally not very good at talking about his feelings, but what I can tell by his words, he wants to express that he is no worse than Sasuke.
He wasn't surprised that Sasuke lost to me, even if he was, he wouldn't show it like other Konoha 12. He just wanted to show that he ain't worse than Sasuke.

So I wanted to have more interaction with both Jiraiya and Naruto but I skip that, mainly becuase right now Shika's position is not that well establish between the main characters in the anime. Team 8 makes sense seeing that he spend quite a bit time with them but this doesn't.

I trained Naruto in water walking, but it was apparent that Naruto wasn't making any progress. He didn't even need his untrained Sharingan, another thing on the list that he planned to train and act upon soon, he could tell that Naruto's chakra was all out of wack.
"Naruto... come here for a second," I call the orange ninja with a frown on my face.
"Huh, Shika what happened." Naruto came along while glancing at the sealing scroll I had in my hand. This was the same one which Hokage gave me, it was a powerful sealing jutsu which could seal even the Jinchuriki direct connection from his Biju's. Even better than the one Orochimaru put on Naruto.
"Can you make the clone, make as many as you can okay..." I reply to which Naruto just narrow his eyes in confusion, no... he always looks like that, like a fox with those narrow eyes.
"Why..." Naruto asked with a little lazy face, not willing to do it.
"It will help you train faster."
"Really ?"
"Yup."
"Hmm... okay. Here goes nothing. Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu." Naruto shouted and crossed his fingers. Chakra rile up and soon 5 clones exactly looking like Naruto appear around him.
"Is that all you can do?
I thought you could make more." I asked with a non-impressed look on my face. Of course that would be my face, is this a joke, 5 clones.
We are talking about Naruto here not Kakashi. I can make 4 clones right now... Naruto's limit should be more than 100 or 200 by now.
"Alright, I got it, you can let that go..." I reply and move towards Naruto.
The boy was looking more and more confused at this. He was currently only wearing his undergarment. Right now I wasn't just looking at how many clones he can create but also his tampered seal.
There was a sign of that seal being tampered with 5 elemental seals.
'I'm not sure whether I can remove that 5-element seal on Naruto but let's try. This is the best time, seeing Jiraiya is also here if anything went south.' I pondered and nodded to myself.
"I know why you are having a problem controlling your Chakra Naruto. Do you want me to help you with the problem?" I asked while moving closer to him, asking him was just to distract him so I could do what I was planning.
"What, tell me, tell me, tell me..." Naruto shouted hearing this, though Naruto was obnoxious and annoying but he wasn't really an idiot. At least not that big one.
He knew that something was going on with his chakra, after fighting with that snake bastard he could feel his chakra not working like before.
"I can tell you but that won't do. If you want me to help you then just close your eyes and focus on your chakra." I reply and by now I am close enough to him to use the 5 elemental seal on him.
Naruto grumbled but did so and closed his eyes, making me smirk and gather chakra on my hands. Unlike Jiraiya and Orochimaru I can't do this without handsigns. So after forming some, I slam at Naruto's stomach.
"Blurrfff." Naruto cried out with the form I hit him, now I won't deny that the force of hitting him was a little bit on purpose on my part.
But hey... it worked...
"Shika... you bastard why you did that..." Naruto shouted ready to throw down a fight with me then and there. But I just smile back at him, happy that It worked.
"What you mean... I was just helping you, go and try walking on water now..." I reply with my own fake temper grumbling to his irritation.
" How is that helping me ?"
"First try water walking and then ask."
Naruto grumbled and did so...
Result!
"What.....
"Hehehe...."

"So you are done already," asked Jiraiya when he was finally dragged by Naruto to show him his water walking. I just kept on looking at this all with amusement.
Seeing Naruto's learning water walking this fast, Jiraiya was impressed.
"Now teach me a powerful jutsu," Naruto demanded, I had a demand of my own after working this hard but I remained calm. Just let Jiraiya deal with Naruto first.
What happened next was out right from the anime, Jiraiya took out a big scroll from a Toad's mouth, earlier I thought that the one he was carrying on his back was the toad summoning scroll, but that wasn't the case.
I just waited on the side until Naruto signed his name and summoned a tadpole... I almost forgot how funny the banter between Naruto and Jiraiya was in the early show. It's nostalgic almost seeing them quarrel between each other.
Once that was done Jiraiya finally approached me...
"You are good with Sealing, how did you learn how to remove 5 elemental seals?" Jiraiya asked to my surprise, so he was giving attention to both me and Naruto.
"Just here and there, I only did because I knew that you were there if I messed up. I just recently learned from Hokage Sama what a Jinchuriki is... so I knew that I shouldn't mess too much with the seal." I reply, telling Jiraiya before even he brings up the fact of how dangerous what I did was. If I messed up in any way then it would have been bad for real.
"If you knew then why take this big risk, do you know what could happen if the Nine Tail was released in the village," Jiraiya asked narrowing his eyes, looking like he was trying to scare me. It's just that this particular role doesn't suit him much.
"One you asked me to help Naruto."
"Second, you were probably the only Fuinjutsu master in Konoha who was here."
"Lastly three, if an amateur like me can really remove that seal to the degree that Nine Tails come out, then what the hell is the village thinking ?"
I reply with a smile on my face, to which even Jiraiya has to sigh.
"You are from the Nara clan right."
"Yes."
"Sigh, can't argue with them in terms of logic."

By the way, expect Jiraiya favor Naruto's training over Shika for obvious reasons. Its only natural that he will put more efforts on Naruto.
