Yuto Pov
As I walk along with one of the strongest people in the world toward his home village, I have so many thoughts and emotions. The first is pure terror. The naruto world is not a place to be relaxed.
With threats like madara and kaguya coming soon and the other Otsutsuki coming a decade or so after, the need for strength is as vital as water and food in my opinion.
And what of the boruto series? I didn't watch much of it because of how nerfted naruto and sasuke were. But I'd seen different manga cutouts of Boruto's new planetary rasengan, or Sarada being able to see through omnipotence with her Mangekyo.
Sure, it's Cool to see and read about in your free time. But to live in it? Day in and day out? I'm freaking out a little just thinking about it.
I look to the man beside me. Tall as I always assumed he'd be. The wart on the left side of his nose bringing about a sense of realness to the world around me and the person I was observing.
That was another thing, the anime naruto and real life naruto world is so night and day different. Of course it would be, but it's still a shock to the system. I remember the fireball shooting out from the tree line, it so hot I felt the air around us become dry. And I was a good ways away from it. I can't imagine what the other guys felt.
I decide to speak to the toad sage. Afterall, he was trying to help. "So," I began trying to figure out what I even wanted to ask him. "Can I ask you where we're going?"
He smiles softly, "my village. You'll be welcomed there. We have an event that's bringing people from all nations occurring there soon, it's a perfect opportunity to introduce you to my sensei."
I nod outwardly but inwardly I'm freaking out. I have an idea what event he's speaking about. And if my math is right, Jiraiya returns in naruto for one reason only, the chunin exams.
"I have another question, that move you used, was it done with chakra?" I ask trying to look the naive boy I am. Which I am. I may know a lot of chakra theory that would be 'impressive' for a shinobi my age, but other than activating what I assume to be a dojutsu I have no active experience with it.
I can feel something in me that it's normal. I assume it to be chakra. Jiraiya breaks me from my thoughts when he answers with a big grin, "yes it was. Come, let's stop for the day. I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
I nod and try not to gulp. A shinobi like Jiraiya has spent decades being a spy. A damn good one at that.
We walk for another 15 minutes or so before I hear the sound of water. Coming out by a river bank Jiraiya sets his bag down and two clones pop out of smoke and begin setting up a small camp. One takes out a scroll and poofs a tent into existence. The other begins to build a fire pit and shoots a small flame at it to ignite it.
I was so lost in the casual display of chakra that I didn't notice the original Jiraiya until he was right beside me. "Sit kid." He said.
I almost jump but Managed to keep it under control before sitting at one of the rocks my savior had dropped there during my observation of his clones. As I get comfortable he asks, "so, where exactly are you from?"
I shake my head. "Honestly? I woke up in some laboratory not far from where those guys saw me. It was underground and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time."
I see understanding dawn in Jiraiya's eyes. "I understand. Even more the better I found you."
"Why?" I ask. I knew who was the most likely cause of my new birth into this body.
It's confirmed for me when the white haired man speaks. "Yes. It seems my old teammate is getting farther along in his research than even I initially thought," Jiraiya said. He seemed to not be talking to me but thinking out loud.
I can't help but feel excited and scared. On one hand I'll get to learn cool jutsu. On the other hand…. I'll have to contend with real shinobi. Men and women who've been trained since a little after they could walk in the art of deception, Assassination, espionage, and when it came to it all out war.
I loose what the toad sage is saying as I still remember the scene when Kabuto reanimated madara uchiha. The 'aura' he exuded as he stepped out into the sands and stared down thousands of shinobi as if they were playthings.
I'm broken from, in my opinion, the best introduction to a villain ever in anime by the toad sages hand on my shoulder, "Hey kid, did you hear me?"
I shake my head. "Sorry. Lost in thought." I say wanted to keep it short for now.
However, my thoughts of ending the conversation were forgotten when I heard the reply in a tone that suggested a smirk on the mouth of the one who spoke it, "I was saying that tomorrow we'll begin the basics of chakra control and theory."
"But I've never used it, well I think so anyway. There was this time my eyes were weird and it was too much for me to handle. Even now, without using chakra in them I can see so we'll. It's odd." I say playing the dumb kid subtly telling Jiraiya about my suspicions of a dojutsu. I've spent the entire time except for when we first met not looking him in the eye, semi hiding my eyes.
I'd seen ones like it before. But there's no way I'd have that.

Jiraiya
Hearing Yuto's words I instantly became alert. He is an experiment of Orochimaru, so any abnormalities must be investigated thoroughly.
I speak to the kid cautiously. If it turns out to be true, it wouldn't be the first dojutsu user I've taught. My heat clinches at the thought of Nagato.
I bring myself back to the past and speak to the present child in front of me. Extremely pale hair and skin, "look at me."
He does. And when we lock eyes I know the answer before I speak again, "Good, now try to bring the chakra to your eyes." I say to him.
In a few seconds his already unique blue eyes almost glowed, I could feel the chakra in those eyes. "Now explain what you see," I said when he started making a pained face.
"Everything. I can see 360° when I just activate it. But when I focus I can see forever. Even some strange blue energy in your body."
I smile on the outside but inside I am cross referencing any kind of similarities with other known Dojutsu. I came up with an answer immediately, 'sounds similar to the Byakugan,' I say nodding.
Immediately I ask another question as I plan on how to protect his secret eyes within Konoha. I may love the place, but it's not without it's darkness. No way would I let orochimaru's experiment be given to the Warhawk. "How far can you see?" I ask him.
A shrug is what I get. "Don't know distances other than feet." I sigh. Orochimaru's imprisonment of this child has become even more cruel. "Can you give me some landmarks?" I ask hopefully.
He frowns for a moment before replying. "I can see a town. Just the edges of it." He says. I instantly know where he's talking about based on where he's looking. He's talking about Tnazaku. That's nearly 5 miles away!
I nod. "Good. You can turn it off now. I have some more questions, but we can talk about those tomorrow. Try to get some rest. We're going to that town you saw tomorrow. "
The boy nods again, laying his head back and trying to go to sleep. As I watch him begin the process, I can't help but wonder what this young kid will do in this world.
One things for certain after hearing about his dojutsu and feeling his chakra reserves. Even if I'm not a true sensor, picking up a minuscule amount of nature energy to enhance your own senses allows me to act as a sensor in limited use.
The boys chakra is far bigger than mine was at his age. If I had to guess he's probably just a notch or two below my new student I'm coming home to see.
I begin my own process of falling asleep after setting some traps around our position with a clone.
Finally, after about half an hour, I feel darkness take control.
