“This is the Toad Contract,” Jiraiya explained, “It’s a part of the jutsu I’m going to teach you…Kuchiyose no jutsu.”
Naruto looked at the scroll again, one of his eyebrows rising in curiosity. “Toads…” he muttered.
“Yeah,” Jiraiya replied.
“What the heck are toads good for? I don’t want to beat my opponent with warts!” the blond shouted, causing the sannin and the kunoichi to stumble and sweat-drop.
“The Toad contract is one of the three compacts that Konoha is famous for, gaki!” the white haired sage muttered after righting himself, “Only one of the Sannin, like me, can give it to another to sign. The toads are very damn useful too!”
“How?” the blond replied.
“Spying, defense, aiding in jutsu, transportation, the list is virtually endless,” he replied, “Their also good on the battle field…in fact, of the three great contracts, Toads are the best suited for battle. Sure, the snakes have speed, and the slugs have incredible defensive powers, but the toads are the most well rounded; offense and defense, they’re the best.”
Naruto nodded. “But…”
“Yeah?”
“What about warts?”
Kin groaned while Jiraiya sweat dropped. “YOU WON’T GET ANY WARTS YOU IDIOT!” the older ninja shouted. “Just sign the bloody thing so we can get with the training!”
