Chapter 3

As Minato left the cell, Jiraiya sat on the ground in front of Naruto, who was looking at Jiraiya, waiting for him to start talking.

Jiraiya looked at Naruto for a long time before saying, "So, how did we know each other in your world?"

"So you believe me that I am from another dimension?" Naruto questioned.

"I will tell you that later, but first, answer my question: How did we know each other?" Jiraiya questions.

"First, you were my sensei for most of my ninja career, and after some time, you became like a father to me," Naruto answered.

After hearing the answer, Jiraiya was quiet for a minute, and as he was about to ask the next question, Naruto interrupted him.

"Now that I have answered one of your questions, you will answer mine. It is not fair that only you get to ask the questions. After all, we both want to know about each other. Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here," Naruto replied with a smirk.

"Well, well, you are not a fool after all. Fine, go on. What do you want to know?" Jiraiya replied.

"What was your relationship with me before I died in this world?" Naruto asked.

"Well, I was your godfather. You became my student after passing the academy. I was like a grandfather to you. We were about to go on a 2-year training trip so that you could learn how to use the Kyuubi's chakra."

"Now that you have your answer, my next question is: In your world, before I died, did I take you on a training trip?" Jiraiya asked.

Hearing about how this world's Naruto had a better relationship with Jiraiya made him a little jealous of his other self.

Hearing Jiraiya's next question, he responded, "Yes, you did take me on a training trip. We went all over the Elemental Nations. You even taught me how to operate your spy network if something happens to you."

Jiraiya's face gained a smile hearing how this Naruto went on a training trip with his other self. He had also planned to teach Naruto how to operate his spy network.

But he also noticed how Naruto did not tell him about the kyuubi.

He decided that the next question he was going to ask him would be about the kyuubi.

"Did the Kyuubi attack happen in this world?" Naruto asked.

Hearing the question, Jiraiya grinned internally and with a straight face replied, "Yes, after your mother lost consciousness during childbirth, the Kyuubi was able to free himself from your mother. Minato teleported the Kyuubi outside the village, and Sandaime-sama used the Dead Demon Seal to divide its chakra into two parts. One part he sealed into you, and the other part he sealed into himself. He designed your seal in such a way that, over time, all of the Kyuubi's chakra will be added to your own reserves, and it will simply disappear. If you died before the absorption process is complete, then the Kyuubi's chakra would be sucked into the shinigami's belly."

Both Naruto and kurama who even after being locked in the seal was able to see and here what was going on in the outside world was shocked to hear that

"This must be the reason why I am not able to sense my other self. He does not exist on this plane anymore; he is stuck in the belly of Shinigami for the rest of eternity," Kurama replied.

Naruto didn't say anything to Jiraiya's reply.

Now that you have asked me about the Kyuubi attack, it would be safe to assume that it also happened in your world, which means that you must be the Kyuubi Jinchuriki for your world.

Tell me how different the events of the Kyuubi's attack are in this world compared to yours, and whether you were ever able to control the Kyuubi's chakra.

Deciding not to talk about Obito's involvement, Naruto replied, "

A few things happened differently in my world such as my mother did not lose consciousness during the childbirth but the kyuubi was able to free himself

Dad teleported the kyuubi outside the village and then teleported me with mom to the place where the kyuubi was teleported.

Mom created a barrier so no one could enter the area, and Dad used the Dead Demon Seal to summon the Shinigami.

He also divided the chakra into two parts, sealing one part in himself and the other in me.

In a last desperate attempt, the Kyuubi tried to kill me with his claws.

Mom and Dad jumped in front of the claw and were impaled through their stomachs in saving me.

I grew up as an orphan, not knowing who my parents were.

Naruto closed his eyes and appeared in front of Kurama. He said, "Should I tell him that I am a perfect jinchuriki or not?"

"Well, Naruto, you will have to trust someone in this new world."

We don't know anyone in this world, and by observing Jiraiya and sensing his emotions, I am sure that he has no negative feelings toward you. You can trust him.

Tell him that you are a perfect jinchuriki like Killer B, but don't tell him about your knowledge of all the other Biju, your possession of their chakra, or your possession of Six Paths chakra.

And don't use the six paths chakra if it is not necessary or in a life-or-death situation.

We don't know how people will react to seeing you back from the dead, and if they learn that you are even more powerful than Hashirama was in his prime, it could lead to distrust.

And if other nations come to know of this fact, there could be a war over you.

that such powerful individual should not belong to a single village

This was the reason why three of the five great nations banded together to destroy Uzushiogure because they grew too powerful.

Hearing this, Naruto said, "Fine, I will tell him that I am a perfect jinchuriki, but not about anything else."

Naruto opened his eyes and looked at Jiraiya. The time he had spent in his mindscape was equal to 1 second in the outside world.

He said, "And as for your other question—was I able to control the Kyuubi's chakra or not—I will let you know that I am a perfect jinchuriki like Killer B. I have full control of the Kyuubi's chakra, and not just his half, but the other half that was sealed by my father in him."

Jiraya was shocked to hear that this version of Naruto had gained full control over the Kyuubi chakra.

"Now tell me, did the Uchiha massacre happen in this world?" Naruto asked.

"What the hell are you talking about? The Uchiha clan is living safe and sound in the village," Jiraiya replies, shocked at what Naruto said.

"So there is no quarrel between the Uchiha clan and the village," Naruto questioned.

"Hell no, there is no quarrel between the Leaf Village and the Uchiha Clan. Everything is fine between both of them," Jiraiya replied.

"Well, then there is no need for you to know about something that will never happen in this world. Go on and ask your next question."

Naruto replied.

"Fine, don't tell me. I will ask you later. Now, what should I ask you? Did you learn Sage Mode?" Jiraiya asked.

In response to this, Naruto simply opened his senses to the natural chakra flowing around the world and started absorbing the nature chakra.

And in the last two seconds, he was in sage mode.

His iris turned toad-like, and an orange pigment appeared around his eyes.

Jiraya was shocked.

He had gained the toad summoning contract at the age of 14 and started his sage training at the age of 20. Till this date, he has not been able to complete his sage training and become a perfect sage.

But he had learned how to sense nature chakra all around the world, even after being an incomplete sage.

And when this Naruto started gathering nature chakra, the energy was sucked into him like he was a black hole, and the nature energy wanted to fill that hole.

He was able to sense how much nature chakra Naruto had collected within seconds, and the amount he had collected was ten times the size of his own full chakra reserves.

He knows that to enter Sage Mode, one must gather an amount of physical and spiritual energy equal to the nature chakra absorbed, maintaining a perfect 1:1:1 ratio.

It was at this moment that Jiraiya realized Naruto could have escaped anytime he wanted, and he doubted anyone could stop him.

Just as this thought came into his mind, another thought hit his brain like a speeding train.

Naruto had told him that he was a perfect jinchuriki and had full control over the Kyuubi's chakra.

And if by any chance he was able to mix his perfect Sage Mode with the Kyuubi's chakra.

The thought alone made him afraid for his life.

He doubted that even if he combined the full might of the Leaf Village, anyone would be able to stop Naruto.

Jiraya controlled his emotions, not wanting...

To show his fear, he spoke in a serious tone: "How much chakra do you have without the Kyuubi's chakra?"

As soon as Jiraiya's face lost its smile and became serious, Naruto realized that Jiraiya had connected the dots by seeing his Sage Mode.

And he realized how powerful he was, even without knowing about his Six Paths Sage Mode and the chakra of all the other tailed beasts he had gained.

This was the problem with being too powerful.

People who don't know you or what type of person you are will start to fear you and your power because they don't know what you're capable of.

This was the problem that he had started facing after the fourth great shinobi war when he met new people who had not fought alongside him in the war.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, many people, including high-ranking officials like daimyos and nobles, have started to fear him, not wanting to anger him, etc.

Naruto closed his eyes and let the Sage Mode fade away before opening them again and looked at Jiraiya. "Well, according to the Kyuubi, I have more chakra than the Gobi."

Jariya was shocked once again. He didn't even know that it was possible for a human to have a chakra level equivalent to that of tailed beasts.

He had thought that the only person able to achieve this feat was the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

And Naruto was just an 18-year-old boy who had just entered his prime years as a ninja.

He even feared to think what his power level would be in 10 years.

Naruto closed his eyes to think about something that could ease Jiraiya and make him believe that he is really Naruto Uzumaki but just from another dimension.

It was at that moment that he remembered something Jiraiya had told him once while he was drunk.

He decided to take a gamble here.

He looked at Jiraiya once again and said, "I think by now you have realized how powerful I am, and that if I wanted to, I could have escaped anytime, and no one would be able to stop me."

Hearing this, Jiraiya nodded his head, and Naruto continued, "So, how about this? I will tell you something that only you and a few other select people know. I think even my father doesn't know about this."

Now Jiraiya was intrigued. What could this Naruto possibly tell him that would make him believe him?

"But before that, answer a question for me, okay? Is Dan Katō dead in this world?"

Hearing that, Jiraiya nodded his head in affirmation.

After Dan's death, when you and Tsunade were on a diplomatic mission to the Land of Lightning, you both drank too much alcohol and spent a night together, which resulted in Tsunade getting pregnant.

The child was born prematurely and died during childbirth.

Both of you were shocked, and when you tried to console Tsunade, you said that if she wanted, both of you could have another child.

Hearing this, Tsunade lost her temper and beat you within an inch of your life. She left Konoha the same night with Shizune.

Later, the story spread that you tried to peek at Tsunade while she was in the hot springs, and she beat you within an inch of your life.

And before you say anything, how come I know about this when only you, Tsunade, Sandaime-sama, and his wife knew about it?

You told me one night during the training trip that if your son had not died, you would have wanted him to be just like me.

Jiraya was shocked to the core.

He did not think that he would be reminded of his dead son.

He hadn't talked about his dead son in the last 25 years.

Other than the people Naruto mentioned, he hadn't told anyone about this incident, not even his prized student, Minato.

Now he was sure that this person was Naruto.

And he was from another dimension.

Jiraya looked at Naruto and said, "I believe you that you really are Naruto Uzumaki from another dimension. The thing that you just told me, I had been sure that I would never tell anyone about it, other than the people who already know about it."

And if you are like the Naruto I used to know, there will be no worry.

At this moment, Naruto decided that Jiraiya would be the first person in this new world he would fully trust.
