NARUTO EPISODE FIFTY SIX: Live or Die, Risk It All To Win It All!
Jiraya is still perving at the waterfall. Naruto is getting better...slowly. This Tadpole is green and has both front and back legs but still the juvenile tail. Naruto yells at Jiraya but then falls unconscious! Poor little fella is all tuckered out. Three weeks of training like this!
Anko is catching a case of the feels with the Third. He thinks there's no ninja alive in the village who can take him on, himself included. Anko thinks the Fourth could, but he sacrificed himself for the village already.
Jiraya dumps a bucket of water over Naruto. It's pointless to train like this anymore. Gotta do it like his life depended on it. So they head into town and...take a bath to purify themselves...then they head back to Konoha for ramen. Eat up (It may be your last meal) Naruto doesn't hear this.
Jiraya ditched him! He never said he was treating. Jiraya asks if he has a girlfriend. He's got, well, a girl he likes. Jiraya wants him to give her a big hug....In the name of training or whatever. Sakura is gonna clobber him.
Which she does.
Bonus GIF Time.
Jiraya knocks him out after this while walking out of town. Naruto is a vessel that's too small for the nine-tails chakra. Danger and emotion will unblock his flow, so he's gonna put him up to some real ass danger. Naruto gets finger poked of doomed off of the scariest cliff in existence. Rocks are too slick to grab onto, even with chakra. He's gonna DIE!
Iruka is teaching Konohamaru's class outside about the history of the village. Maybe Iruka will be the fifth! The Third Hokage thinks that is a funny joke as Iruka talks about the man's nicknames. The Strongest! The Professor! Konohamaru doesn't have the grades to be Hokage! Live and die as you like, don't choose an impossible road! Protect those precious to you! You know the drill. The kids seem to get it. The precious people to the Hokage, well, there's Konohamaru...and EVERYONE ELSE IN THE VILLAGE. Hokage is a bro.
Naruto is hanging out with the fox in his weird water stomach prison place. He's got that great Dr. Claw voice. Nine Tails has a vested interest in keeping Naruto alive...and Naruto is charging rent. He's a scummy landlord. Fine whatever.
I guess all that training paid off.
