# Jiraiya Provides a Solution

Determined not to fall behind Sasuke, Naruto trained on his own even more diligently. He even turned down Jiraiya’s invitation to join him on the journey to find Tsunade, hoping to focus on his training and learn new techniques from Kakashi, including Chidori. However, despite his efforts, Naruto began to realize that Kakashi had prioritized Sasuke since the Chunin Exams.

Seeing Naruto’s determination, Jiraiya offered a solution. He promised to teach Naruto a jutsu that was even more powerful than Chidori if Naruto agreed to accompany him on the journey to find Tsunade. Tempted by this offer, Naruto agreed. From then on, Naruto spent more time training with Jiraiya than with Kakashi.
