While Naruto's use of henge to become an inanimate object is unusual, he does share it with one other character that Jiraiya knows personally: Enma. Enma turns into a staff.
So, Jiraiya knows that turning into inanimate objects is possible (for extremely skilled/powerful individuals), which makes calling it impossible kind of weird. Far beyond Naruto's otherwise demonstrated skill level, certainly, but not impossible.

yes, and top tier summons are ridiculous and should not to be compared to human ninja(unless they trained said human)

I disagree. The strongest ninja are further removed from normal ninja than the strongest summons are. Enma uses replication (Shadow Clones) and physical transformation (Henge a la Naruto). His competition for the most esoteric abilities among summons is Katsuyu, who splits into many smaller (mentally networked) slugs who can share chakra and heal people; here is a picture of Katsuyu behind a bunch of ninja Naruto is sharing chakra with.

This is, of course, setting aside that my point was that Jiraiya knows it's possible, as shown by Enma.

Isn't this like 10% of the whole Katsuyu, which is the most Sakura and Tsunade can summon?

Jiraiya's being slightly hyperbolic.

It's impossible in the same way that what Hinata should be doing is impossible. Not physically impossible (he too could turn into a teacup should he decide that'd be necessary, and almost certainly can henge himself into a believable frog), but it shouldn't be remotely within their capabilities. At Jiraiya's level, facing ninja in combat is all about threat assessment - since ninja can pull semi-exotic effects out of their ass, having a general sense of what they're capable of means he can prioritize on the actual threats.

Having a genin do something way out of their observed capabilities is like watching a two year old suddenly reciting Shakespeare. I mean, yes, in theory a baby could recite Shakespeare, but, on the other hand, there's a baby reciting Shakespeare.
 
So how many ancient prophesies did Hinata just fulfill?

I'm just saying, this is a great excuse for any weird stuff about to go down.

I figured it was something like that, but it felt like Jiraiya was really pushing "it's impossible" with no qualifiers when it seemed past the time for it and there's clear precedence for people doing it.

Fucking teacup ninjas.

"If ninja could transform themselves into small objects that could be trivially moved from place to another using a technique straight out of the Academy, the Great Wars would have been a nightmare." He thought, then amended that statement: "More of a nightmare."

I think "mused" would work better here instead of "thought"; "thought aloud" or something like it would also work.

-[X] It did not surprise Hinata that, when she met her father for breakfast, he was already perfectly aware of what happened yesterday. A presence of a living giant clam on the table, however, did. She did her best to kill and eat it as cleanly as possible, grateful for the delicacy, and aware of her father's eyes on her chakra. Only afterwards did she dare to bring out lord Jiraya's gift to show ner father and ask for help in understanding it - the private meditation chambers were not something she could just occupy on her own, and her father's eyes were far stronger than hers anyway.

@Yog, if you want insperation for Jyuken training, try stunting hitting the ten...the chakara points of Gaara's sand. We could go through drills with different assumptions, based on how fluid those chakra points are and what happens when we seal/inject chakra into them.

My thoughts: Normal Jyuken strike on Gaara's sand = Chakra disruption. Sand formation falls apart. More Chakra points hit, the greater the effect. Garra may be able to re-esatablish control by re-saturating the sand with Chakra.

Electrified Jyuken = Clumpy, magnetically charged sand.
Fire-Charged Jyuken = Turns sand in Chakra point into glass.
Water-charged Jyuken = Turns sand in Chakra point into mud.

First and foremost we need to know how Lunar Essence infused jyuuken interacts with bijuu chakra. Because, well, the number of possibilities is endless.

I have to thank you for leaving this review: I'm not gonna say it's the reason I updated so quickly -but yeah, it's the reason I updated so quickly. Because I'm the one doing the purveying instead of the one being purveyed to, I sometimes forget how much the Naruto fan in me wants to see Hinata kick butt and be awesome. :V

Does that mean I can spur you to update more often by posting lots of reviews? :evil:

And don't sell yourself short! You wrote a very stirring post about Brexit and how the vote went down, not to mention your Hedge Maze Quest which I still think was one of the most vivid worldbuilding seen on this here fine board.

Thank you very much, FixerUpper. And thank you for taking a look at my quest.

Hinata was bright pink when they landed in the Kamino Hot Springs.

She'd figured out the trick to changing just parts of her to other parts of her, and was thus bringing Naruto back as an angel might: black wings beating on her back, human hands clutching his hands so they flew almost like a 'T' with wings, or a human hanglider.

Well, maybe that's not how an angel would have done it, but Hinata was not about to carry Naruto as if he were a - a- bride.

Heh. Flying together like "'T' with wings, or a human hanglider" doesn't sound to me like it'd be much less embarrassing than carrying him bridal style. In some ways, it sounds like it'd be even more embarrassing. I mean, for that to work, I imagine they'd have to fly with their bodies pressed very close together, with their heads right next to each other. At least if you're carrying someone bridal style you're only really touching them in two or three places. Carrying someone like a "'T' with wings, or a human hanglider" sounds to me like it's Hinata's covert plan to drape herself all over Naruto. No wonder she's bright pink: I bet she's blushing furiously.

HINATA: "If he turned his head slightly, our lips would touch. My first kiss – so close! If I just... I could do it... I could just pretend it was an accident! Like when he kissed Sasuke. Do I dare?"

And this is what she'd say if she was a melodramatic villain:
HINATA: "He's facing the wrong way for me to kiss him. Curses! Foiled again!"

Or am I missing something? :confused: How do you imagine that flying like a "'T' with wings, or a human hanglider" would look like? It sounds like it would be hell on Naruto's wrists and shoulders. With her boar-enhanced strength, Hinata needs to be careful that she doesn't rip his arms out of their sockets. Yowch!

Anyway, I'm still really enjoying this story. I should probably vote. Hmm...

Time to face the music.

HIASHI: "I hear you were flying around naked yesterday, with Naruto on your back."
HINATA: (Incoherent stuttering)
HIASHI: "Admittedly, you were transformed into a giant bird at the time, but still. You have a lot of explaining to do, young lady!"

Not sure if it's been brought up before but if we got the right set of animals we could pretty mix and match traits to become a mother f-ing dragon. Which would be freaking awesome. I'm thinking of going with an eastern dragon style,. Luckily we already have wings for flight so all we need left are a somewhat giant snake for the body, a deer for the antlers, something like a lion or tiger or even dog for the head and something for the mane, finally a komodo dragon for the limbs and then buying thumbs mutation and we got ourselves a dragon.

Would really love to see everyones reactions to that.
