Naruto’s Training
With the Akatsuki becoming more active during Naruto Shippuden, Naruto himself needs more training, especially when it comes to controlling his immense power. Over the course of the series, he has several teachers. His primary ones were Jiraiya (who he lovingly called the Pervy Sage) and Kakashi Hatake. Each one was charged with helping Naruto hone his abilities after his schooling was complete.
Through missions given by the Hokage and other special journeys, he was kept away from the prying eyes of the Akatsuki so that he can prepare to do battle with them. Yamato, a ninja imbued with the cells of the First Hokage, is also called in to help with Naruto’s training in order to keep the Nine Tails inside of him at bay.
After much time has passed, Jiraiya takes Naruto to Mount Myoboku to learn the arts of the Toad Sage. This is done to give Naruto a better control of chakra, and to help provide discipline for the young, brash ninja.
