[Discussion] Results of 3 years Of Jiraiya Training

[TurrinB]

Jiraiya trained Naruto in the basics, something that he greatly lacked, but the basics aren't as noticeable as a bunch of new flashy techniques like most characters got post time skip.

Maybe he taught him how to use the Technique he was told not to use against Kakuzu...

I've said this before, but Jiraya trained Naruto in learning how to use and control the kuybi chakra. Jiraya himself said to Naruto the first time they met that he should focus on learning to use that before learning ninjutsu, since it was such a powerful power, and it would be hard to learn to use ninjutsu with no control over kuramas chakra. So you may say that Naruto has had it much harder in his training.

Sadly Jiraya might not have known about the waterfall of truth, or he just thought Naruto wasn't ready to clear himself of hatred yet, but nonetheless none of us can denie that sasuke was a genius, he had already 2 chakra natures and 3 tomoe sharingan. He only had to focus on improving in using these, whereas Naruto had to learn to control - possibly the hardest chakra in the world.. And Sasuke had Oro as teacher. I mean the man is immortal..

Also, why do you think Naruto perfected the sage training so fast and with such high success? It's because he had to work with chakra control of the chakra that was hardest to control of all. So you may say that Jirayas training was the building blocks for senjutsu chakra as well as how fast he learned to use kuramas chakra at the waterfall of truth and inside of it.

Agree with this, the training that Jiraiya was giving Naruto was preparing him for sage training I believe and makes perfect sense. He knew Naruto's strengths and weaknesses, he was in the best position to fully judge his ability at the time.

Dunno if he knew about the waterfall of truth but he knew enough to point Naruto in the right direction in regards trying to conquer Kurama's hatred. What Naruto needed to fully develop his powers in this regard, which he eventually did get, was someone like Bee who understood what was needed.
